I Love The Way You Say My Name(Part 2 Of Who Says I Have To Be Soft Series)

Chapter 8✅

The next morning Stiles was running late for work, she walked in the kitchen to see a brown paper bag. "I figured you're running late so there's a breakfast sandwich in there for you along with a banana and give me a minute". Mary put a reusable coffee cup under the coffee machine and Stiles watches as it fills up. "I'm told you like hot chocolate in the mornings". She hands her the cup, Stiles take it thanks her and pick up the brown paper bag and head out the door.

Stiles opens her car and takes a swig of her hot chocolate and a bite of her sausage and egg sandwich, she looks in her rear view mirror to see Jordan Parrish couple cars back. There was no reason for him to be there Stiles was sure now he must be supernatural like his girlfriend. She drove to her office there was no point in trying to lose him he knew where she worked after all.

She just finished her third appointment for the day and was about to take lunch when she saw him in her reception area. "Let me explain I'm not like her, can we go somewhere and talk".

"We can talk in my office".

After the talk was over Stiles said goodbye to Jordan and treat herself to a large cob salad from the diner round the corner. She got home around six to see Derek watching a ball game. "You'll never guess who I saw this morning and who came to see me today at work?"

He sits up straight and looks at her, "Was it Lydia?"

"Close her boyfriend Jordan Parrish, you'll never guess what he told me".

"What", she repeats the conversation with Jordan. "And get this they're not mates either".

"Do you think he's telling the truth?"

"Without a doubt."

"So she's not even running".

"Your signing is really coming on, so what do you want to do this weekend?"

"Don't laugh but I was thinking Coney Island for the day".

"I love that idea I've never been but always wanted to go".

Mary comes in to tell them dinner is ready, "We need to let mum know about your discussion with Jordan".

"I'm meeting her and Laura for lunch tomorrow, we're going to some posh Italian restaurant".

"Have fun guess what we're having for dinner tonight?"

"Italian."

"That will be correct, ziti to be exact although Mary has made some pizza dough for us to use later if we feel like a snack".

"Derek why do you think of all the people she could steal magic from, she chose me?"

"Who knows it could have just been because you were there, you're powerful, there's any numbers of reasons only she alone knows why. Have you spoken to Alan about your magical training yet?"

"No I'll call him after dinner."

"So I haven't met any of your friends yet?"

"Apart from the people I meet up with because we are deaf I don't really have any, to be honest it was just me and Lydia all the time. Apart from my receptionist Donna at work who I sometimes went out with after work I didn't really have many friends. People forget I can lip read and also forget while I can lip read a knowledge of signing to communicate is needed. I'm not the girl to be having a conversation with you via my phone only, why should I make the effort to make it easier for people to communicate with me while they make none in regards to me. Someone told me once that she and I could be great friends if only I didn't embarrass them by signing when we go out and people will see us together".
