Riley (re-written)

Chapter 8: In His Eyes

———————————

Riley POV

———————————

I had been driving for a few hours just enjoying the time alone and listening to the radio. It was about 11:30 AM and I was feeling good about how the meeting would go today. I was pulled from my thoughts when I saw a little red Honda off the side of the road with a car full of girls scrambling out. They all lined up in the road frantically waving their arms, as if there was any way I would not see them. I laughed to my self as I pulled off the road up behind their car. I saw them get excited and I looked around wondering how long they had been stuck out here in the middle of nowhere. As I climbed out of my car, one of the girls, who I assumed was the driver, made her way over to me.

She was a small petite girl with long black hair and a sort of independent confident vibe about her. She stopped in her tracks when our eyes met but she corrected her self as I asked them if they were having car trouble. I made sure they were all right and noticed how cute she was when she answered and then ran her fingers through her hair while biting her lip. I winked at the group of girls and I smirked to myself as I heard giggles. I walked around to the front of her car, lifted the hood, and started looking for anything out of place or something wrong.

I finished up fixing the minor problems and let the hood down. Walking around I started heading towards my car when the girl stopped me by starting a small conversation. I wasn't in a hurry since I was early for the meeting and there was something about her that made me feel pulled to her. I talked with her for a little bit and then she glanced at her phone and said something about having to go. I quickly suggested that I follow behind them for the rest of the trip, just in case, since we were both heading to the same town anyway. She agreed and I was about to say something else when she realized we had not yet had an introduction and quickly apologized and started blushing.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, I'm so rude!" she said rather embarrassed as she offered her hand for me to shake.

"My name is Nichole but you can call me Nikki." she smiled sheepishly and offered her hand for me to shake.

"No worries. I'm Riley" I casually said. As I reached out and shook her hand we both stiffened up and, then I noticed a slight tremble, probably from nervousness or embarrassment.

"Thank you so much for everything. It was vary nice to meet you Riley!" she said shyly and turned to her car.

I stood there and watched her and the rest girls pile back into the car and then turned around to my own car. I couldn't wipe the smile of my face as I thought about the pull to her I had felt. Was she the equivalent of my mate? I wondered if she felt the pull to. As the cars started up we pulled back onto the road but this time there was a little bit more motivation to get there.

I couldn't focus on any of the meeting at all. The only thing I could do was replay meeting here over and over in my head. From the little I did get in the meeting the threat of hunters was ruled a false alarm and there was no immediate danger. As I left the meeting shaking hands with the elders I was eager to get home and find out why and how I felt a pull awards this girl.
