Theo was driving the car. We are going back to our town. Zakira seemed nice and a helpless women. The sky was getting dark, covered with black clouds. I guess it will rain. There were less cars and people around. I stare at Theo, I can tell he was not in a good mood. He doesn't trust Zakira at all. I hope he trust me though.

"Are you angry on me?" I asked. I am sorry but I feel like, I did the right thing or made a selfish choice.

"No, I am just disappointed in your decision. Witches are known for treachery" said Theo in a concerned manner. Maybe not all witches are same. It's not my fault that I believed in Zakira.

"She was our only option" I said.

"We could have find some other way, couldn't you hold on to me for some time? Don't you believe me?" He said raising his voice. It startled me, I didn't except him to get that angry. It brought tears to my eyes.

"I lost hope. There is only nine days left, untill the blue moon. I don't think we can find any other way" I said with cracking voice. I am hopeless right now, I am ready to do anything for saving the person I love the most.
"Fuck" Theo said under his breath. Maybe I should give him some time. Maybe he never expected all this mess or a hybrid as his mate but here he is, intertwined with my fate, sharing the same path unknowingly. I guess I will always be the odd one.

We didn't talk much. It was really awkward. After an hour of driving Theo stopped the car. What happened?

"Shit, there is less gas. I hope there is a gas station near" he said with a worried look. Oh no, that's a bad news. I saw two guys, walking on the side walk.

"Maybe we should ask someone" I said to Theo.

"Excuse me, could you please tell us where we can find a gas station?" I asked. The two guys looked at me, one of them walk towards me.

"The gas station is four kilometres away from here" said the guy. I smiled at him.

"It's very far, there is not much gas" said Theo. There was a faint thunderstorm. I think it will start raining soon. We have to do something.

"There is a hotel nearby, you can stay the night there. I heard that a storm is coming, you should stay inside" said the guy. I said 'thank you' after that, those two guys left.

"So hotel it is. After the rain stop, we can walk or wait for some other vehicle" said Theo. Great, now I have to stay in a hotel with him. I hate this idea already. We could have called an Uber but unfortunately there was no signal. We cannot even call anyone for help. The thunderstorms grew louder and soon its start raining. I guess we don't have any other choice. Theo start the car. At this time there was only two or three cars out. Raindrops fell in slow motion, and lightning stayed, brighter than the midday sun. Sometimes thunderstorms scared the shit out of me, it is so unpredictable.

After few minutes we arrived the hotel. Theo parked the car. The hotel's name was 'Grand View' written in a neon sign board. What view are they talking about? Trees and shrubs? It was a three storied building, there was no light or anything except light from the sign board. I don't think people much stay here. It was a creepy feeling. We left the car and run towards the reception. I was little bit wet by the rain and so was Theo. As we enter the room, we saw a middle aged guy, he looked drunk. It must be the receptionist. He smelled of stale perfume and the tables had ashtrays instead of flowers. It was dingy, dark and cheap. I hate this place. There was a board behind the man, It had all the pricings of the room written on it.

"Two rooms" said Theodore, handing him the money. I don't think it's a good idea. The thunderstorms were giving me more creepy vibes. Someone can get murdered here.

"One room with two beds" I said. Theo looked a little bit shocked. What? I would rather sleep in the same room with him than sleeping in this creepy place alone. Moreover the receptionist doesn't look like a good guy. I am not taking any chance.

"Ok but It will charge more for that" said the guy. Really? This place is awful and he wants more money.

"Okay" said Theo and handed him more money. The guy gave us the key and show us the room. The room was horrible. The bedsheets doesn't look clean at all. The lights were flickering some times. Room was dust central, dust had settled everywhere. There was some bugs and insects. I closed the curtains because it was scary outside. The tv doesn't look like it work at all. The bathroom was smelling like poop and was dirty as hell. This is the worst hotel ever. I have no idea what Theo was thinking, but he looked calm. Boys can sleep anywhere, they are carefree. I settle down on the bed and check on my phone's network. The network is dead here, no connection at all. Being so near him in a closed room, was making me nervous. I was eager to avoid this type of situation but my fate is a fucker. My body temperature was rising up, not because of fever. Its getting late, I need to go home. I wish the rain stop soon otherwise I will start to think about a naked Theo. Theo's voice suddenly snapped me out of my weird thoughts.
"You are wet, you can wear my jacket if you want or you might catch a cold" he was looking at me. Wet? I look at my clothes, yeah because of the rain. What am I thinking? I really need to stop thinking about inappropriate things. I might start blushing now.

"I am sorry, for talking to you like that. I can understand how you feel" said Theo, anxiously.

"It's ok, It was my fault too. You can leave this on me, I don't want you to be in trouble because of me" I said. He walked towards and settle down beside me.
"No, I will never leave you alone, we are in this together" he said with a warm smile. Whenever he is near, I can smell his honey scent. It's intoxicating and hypnotising. Why is he staring at me like that? God! he is handsome. His face was very close to mine. I want him so bad, but somehow it feels wrong. Are we even dating? Suddenly his lips were on mine.
