Floating

Chapter 5 - Best Gift Ever

My eyes widened as he pressed his lips against mine. As soon as it started it was over and when he stopped I found myself wanting more.

Woah, when did this attraction start bubbling up inside of me?

"Wh-what was that for?" I asked my eyes still the size of dinner plates.

Speaking of dinner... I'm starving.

"I had to see what it felt like." He said sounding unsure.

By this point we were just staring at eachother awkwardly.

"What if... what if I'm not your mate?" I blurted.

"Then my wolf is very confused." He said with a slight laugh, trying to lighten up the mood.

I laughed some too, but on the inside thoughts were being manufactured like burgers at McDonalds. I tried to wave them off.

Trey poked me on the stomach, which I was thankful for since it took my mind off of what I was currently thinking. I then looked at him dead in the eye and poked him back.

"Big mistake." He said and before I knew what was happening I was on the bed under him and he was tickling me mercilessly.

I was so busy squealing and trying to curl into a ball to protect myself from being tickled that I didn't notice when Saige came into the room.

"Well, well, well. Lookie what we have here. The Wolf and The Witch."She said. I could almost hear the grin in her voice.

Although I started blushing like crazy, Trey kept tickling me. When I told him to stop, he pouted his lip and got off of me.

"Hello Saige." Trey greeted with a small frown on his face.

"Tsk, tsk. That's no way to greet someone you haven't seen in forever." She said looking at him disapprovingly. "You could do so much better, doll." She said turning to me with a smirk.

When she said this Trey growled at her. Me, on the other hand, was smiling like an idiot. I ran up to her and hugged her tightly.

"I missed you so much." I mumbled while hugging her.

Saige and Claire were polar opposites, but they got along and were great friends. Unlike Claire's pink hair, Saige had a blue to green gradiant. They had the same skin tone, but Saige wore darker make-up. At the moment she was wearing a sweater, sweat pants and a beanie that said 'Boss' on it.

I had a beanie just like that that I lost... wait a second.

"Hey, that's my beanie! I've been looking for it forever. You had it all along." I accused.

"Sure is, dollface." She then took off the beanie and whispered "You should give it to your boyfriend over there."

Even though he's a werewolf and probably heard anything I whispered back "Um, sure."

When Claire and Seth finally got back to the house, Claire dropped the bag of food as soon as she entered the room.

"SAIGE!!" She squealed.

I was about to yell at her for dropping the food when Seth caught it out of the air.

You lucky little girl, you.

"Woah careful Claire." Seth said for me.

"Oh woopsies." She giggled. She was already sitting next to Saige in the egg chair hugging the life out of her.

"Woopsies my butt. FOOD WAS AT STAKE! You're so, so lucky he caught it," I yelled jokingly. "and why did you guys take so long. It's been an hour. The diner's only five minutes away." I asked raising my eyebrow at Claire.

She appearently got what I was suggesting because she blushed and quickly tried to deny it.

"We lost track of time." She lied.

Oldest excuse in the book. Plus one of Claire's tells was putting her hair behind her ear and everybody knew it."

"Liar to the people!" Trey declared.

"Fine, fine. Open the bag, Ness." She admitted.

I gave her a 'WTH are you talking about?' look, took the bag from Seth and opened it.

My eyes widened comically as I saw what was in the bag.

"Oh my effin gee." I muttered under my breath. "YOU GUYS GOT A BURGER NAMED AFTER ME?!?" I exclaimed looking at the burger in my hands with the wrapper on it that said 'The Nessa Burger.'

They all stared at me as I took a huge bite from it.

"This is divine. Heavenly. Angelic. No, really you shouldn't have." I said with burger still in my mouth.

Always with the manners.

"Ew gross, close your mouth!" Claire shouted shielding her eyes.

I smiled at her then went back to chewing.

When I finished eating the whole burger (in less than 3 minutes might I add) to two pairs of eyes staring at me.

"What?" I asked looking back and forth between them, starting to feel self consious.

Claire looked at me with her mouth agape, Saige was looking at her nails, Trey looked in awe and Seth was looking at Saige. I don't even know what's going on with them.

"What?" I repeated slightly louder.

"What? You just at a huge ass burger within 2 minutes!" Trey exclaimed.

"Yes! New record." I said more to myself than to anyone else.

Saige and Seth had seen me eat like that before, that's why they looked so unphased.

"It was... how did... wha?" Claire said jumbling her words, sounding confused.

"Well you see, Claire, I ate it. It is now in my stomach." I cleared up.

As a response she just frowned and continued eating her fries.
