Being One Of Them

Chapter VII

A few hours before the full moon

"My mom has really cool bakery shop, I think you'll like it" Exclaimed Anna as she tug the sleeves of Matt's jet black jacket. Matt was surprised by such action but paid no attention whatsoever. Anna guided him to the parking lot and she pulled her phone out dialing a number. "Who are you calling?" Asked Matt.

"My mom so she can pick us both" Anna replied back. Matt scoffed at her response and took away her phone ending the call before her mom could even pick it up.

"Hey why did you do that for?" Anna said furrowing her eyebrows together.

"I'll give us a ride, don't worry, just follow me, my car is right there" He passed Anna and walk towards a car parked, it was a shining white BMW M8.

Anna, following behind Matt raised her eyebrows in surprise and shock and muttered a 'damn' under her breath, which Matt heard and laughed a little by her remark. Out if his right pocket he pulled out the keys to the car, he unlocked the door for the co-pilot sit "After you M'lady" he said in a joking tone. Anna caught to his joke and replied: "Why thank you my good sir" and hoped in. Matt closed the door and went to his side, putting the key inside the car and reviving the car with life.

"Just tell me where to turn" He said as he got out of school grounds. Matt didn't do this out of sympathy or because he wanted to be friends he wanted a quick fuck and she seemed like someone who's naive enough to do. He, of course, wasn't gonna force it on her, but he knew she will give in with the great charm and personality he had.

The whole ride was silent, only the radio filled it with pop music and would occasionally drop in some ads, while Anna would bop her head to a few songs here and there that went noticed by Matt.

"Here turn left and after that sign turn right" pointing her index finger at the right direction "And we should arrive after that last turn" said Anna. After the turns Matt started slowing down so Anna could get a better view of the street And after a few seconds she goes "Ok we're here, you can park in front if it, I'll tell my mom it's yours", Matt let a 'Hmhm' in response and started parking. Once the engine was turned off Anna took of the belt and exited the car with Matt trailing behind.

The front of the bakery had a big window to let you peek from inside, around it there were some wood carvings giving it an antique look. Right next to it there was another window door that had the sing open. As Anna and Matt walked in they were hit with the sweet scent of pastries and bread; which Anna loves smelling every time she comes back from school. The shop had big dark brown tiles with a tint of red on them. It was a rectangular place so the sides were larger than the front, those same sides had beautiful square tables filled with customers. The front of the shop had the display case were the food was set.

Anna walked to the register and was greeted by her mother "Hi mom I'm back" Anna exclaimed. Her mom smiled and kissed Anna on the cheek "Welcome back An" replied her mom. Her mom looked passed her and saw Matt standing behind looking around the shop.

"And who might this young man be" Said her mom, Matt snapped back to reality and came forward extending his hand for a handshake which Ms. Martinez noticed and did the same "Hi I'm Matt Moretti" said the bad boy with a handsome smile.

"Pleasure to meet you Matt, you can call me Ms. Martinez" Anna jumped in: "I promised him I'd treat him to some of your famous sweets".

"Oh sure honey, what can I get for you Matt?, it's on the house" Anna's mom replied happily.

Matt already had the answer in his mind, he always had a sweet tooth and enjoyed the delicacies of pastries "Can I get 2 jelly filled doughnuts?" Asked Matt politely.

"Alright than, 2 jelly filled doughnuts" Ms. Martinez excused herself and went to get the donuts, she put both of them in a bag and handed it to Matt "Thank you" Said Matt and in response Ms. Martinez nodded and gave a gentle smile.

Anna interrupted the moment "Anyways I'll show him upstairs" Anna grabbed Matt by his arm and let him behind the counter, they walked a few steps and there was a white door to the left. Anna opened it revealing a set of stairs where it lead to the second floor: Anna's house.

The building consisted of 2 floors, the first one being the bakery where Anna's mom worked and the second floor, where they lived.

When they arrived upstairs the first thing you could see was the living room connect to the kitchen, next to it was a long hallway where the bedrooms were located. Matt heard the small footsteps running down the hallway and he was greeted by a 10 year old boy, who looked similar to Anna, he had brown short hair with dark brown eyes, but he wasn't as pale as Anna. The kid looked at Matt and raised his eyebrows "You got a boyfriend now?" asked the kid.

Anna almost choked on her own saliva and started nervously laughing "Wh-what no, his my friend Matt" She explained to her brother, she continued "Uhm Matt, José, José, Matt".

Matt eye the kid "Sup kid".

"Wanna play Minecraft with me some time?" said José out of nowhere, this out-of-the-blue question made Matt raise his eyebrows in surprised "Sure, some other time though, I came here to spend time with Anna you see", he wrapped an arm around Anna and leaned next to her, José sighed in disappointment and dragged himself out of the living room to his bed room.

"My brother enjoying playing Minecraft with my friends sometimes, don't mind him" Anna said, "No worries" replied Matt while giving a small laugh, "Uhm Make yourself comfortable, I'll be in the kitchen and I'll make some snacks" Anna said leaving to the kitchen.

A few hours passed Anna and Matt were talking about school, and a few things here and there, they left the tv on, the sound of the ads and music filled the environment. Both of them sat somewhat close, and Matt close the distance, wrapping around his arm around Anna. This caught her by surprise but leaned in and she furrowed her eyebrows "Uhm Matt what are you doing?" she asked.

"What? are you afraid?" he whispered leaning in more and more. This made Anna react in a negative way, she pushed Matt gently "Aha.. uhm no Matt, we aren't here for that".

Matt raised his eyebrows in confusion "So you don't want to try me out?" he asked seductively, his sharp red eyes grew with lust and Anna could see his fangs coming out. "I-... yeah, I mean no, I don't want this right now" Anna replied flustered, her cheeks turning red.

Matt leaned away from her and rested his back on the sofa, he sighed in disappointment and looked once again at Anna "So what? are you gonna wait till you're married to have your first kiss?".

Anna made a poker face "For your information I already had my first kiss" She stopped for a second and then continued talking "Matt, I didn't invite you to my house to make out, I wanted to hang out" she sighed.

There was another short pause before Matt spoke "This is the first time in a while since I've been rejected" Matt gave a short and dry laugh.

"I'm not that desperate Matt" Anna was somewhat awkward and shy you could say, but that doesn't mean she can be easily be used for someone else's purpose, she knows how to handle this type of situation, something Matt didn't take into consideration.

Anna rested her hand on the arms if the sofa and laid her head there tilting it a little "So, do you wanna stay and watch more series or you gonna leave since you've been cock-blocked?" She laughed a little at the end, Matt chuckled and thought to himself 'I already like her'. "Why wouldn't I stay?" he replied with a casual tone.
