A Summer To Never Forget {Complete}

9. Archon

(What Archie wants to see---->)

        I knew something bad had to happen, there was no way life would just let me be for a while. Meeting Keelan and his gang at the mall just proved it. Despite everything that has happened, I am still a bit fearful of him.

        Everybody knows he will get away with almost anything back at school, that's the way everybody but me wants to be his friend. I narrow my eyes as I feel my Wolf coming to the surface and snap "What the hell do you want now Hamilton?" I bask in his startled face and Riley's approval. Through our Link, I feel his pride for me for standing up to him.

        Too bad it doesn't last long, he composes himself rather quickly. "What's with the dude? You gay now? She dumped your sorry ass for not performing right?" He sneers at me.

        I ball my fists at his accusation "I am not like you, Keelan. I don't date my younger sister! Since I don't have a younger sister complex! And yes I am gay! Got a problem with that?"

        I get all up in his face, daring him to say something about it. And unlike his friends, Riley actually backs me up. They all stand there looking anywhere but our direction. I guess this is the first time in his life that he is speechless. Because he stares at me shocked when I said he had a sister complex.

        Nobody insults us and gets away with it!

        I smile inwardly at his possessiveness of me.

        Don't worry he won't, I will make sure of it.

        "If that's all Hamilton, I need to get going." He opens his mouth to reply but I cut him off "Don't care Hamilton!" My voice is deeper and a little gruffer. My Wolf making an appearance.

        Making him gape at me, I smirked.

        That'll teach him!

        I relax a little as Riley squeezes my shoulder "Good job babe!" He smiles as he kisses me in front of everybody, making my knees wobble.

        [You were such a turn on back there.]

        He nuzzles my neck a little before letting go as he opens the door for me. I blush a beet red. I look at the trolley, too embarrassed to look him in the eye.

        As Riley opens the boot of the car he asked: "What was that sister complex thing all about?"

        Sighing I watch him pack our stuff in the boot, I know I will just get in the way if I do anything. "Well.... There were just some rumours going around school about how he does everything for his little sister and stuff." I scratch my cheek, looking down at my shoes as Riley sighs at me.

        "Just because he does a lot for his younger sister doesn't automatically mean he has a sister complex." He holds up a hand when I went to interrupt him "For all, we know she could be sick of having an incurable disease. Don't go assuming things because other people say so. Don't assume anything until he himself told you what's going on. But I loved your little performance none the less."

        He cupped my cheeks gently and lightly pressed his lips against mine. Chuckling at my whimpering he pats my cheeks "Go put the trolley back and I will get the car. Pouting I push the trolley back to the other ones and slip the locking thing into place locking the trolley to the one in front of it.

        As I wait for Riley I turn my face towards the sun, enjoying the hubbub of all the people milling about in the mall. If I hadn't done that I might have successfully avoided the punch that was thrown in my direction by a livid Keelan. I ducked quickly and was lucky his swing clipped my shoulder instead of my face.
