Chapter 101: Chapter 101
The girl, Lily, left the guy and walked towards us with a smile on her face "Can we get the ice cream and cookies now and leave?" she noticed me and smiled "Hi, I’m Lily Marison" she offered me her hand and I shook it.
"Nate Tatum"
"These idiots over here are my friends, Dave and Jim"
"Nice to meet you" I said with a small smile. One of the twins reached out and brushed my cheek.
"You know you’re covered with dust and whatnot" I blushed and looked at my feet, I should have changed my clothes, they must be thinking I’m a slob.
"I was cleaning my apartment" I mumbled "I’m new here"
"Who are you here with?"
"I’m alone, though my friend Patrick Evans has been living here for a while." I looked over her shoulder at the guy who was getting up, flinching and holding his bleeding nose and his already swelling eye. Lily didn’t seem to mind him
"I think I know Patrick, not personally but Dean did mention finally getting rid of his apartment to him" realization flashed across her face and she grimaced "Oh no! He gave it to you, didn’t he?"
"Yup" I smiled at the sympathy in her eyes.
"Dean isn’t the neatest guy around, you can’t walk five steps into his office without cringing and I’ve seen his apartment before" She shivered "I don’t think it’s safe for you to live there"
I didn’t answer as I noticed the guy she hit marching angrily towards her. I was about to warn her when she turned and punched him again, he fell to the ground unconscious.
"Damn it, he got blood on my shirt" she said "Stupid wimp"
The twins burst laughing "Wow Lily." One of the twins said "You just got him boiled"
"Roasted" The other twin added
"And steamed" Lily said before they all laughed. I smiled, the twins kind of reminded me of Gabriel, he never failed to make me laugh even when he was sick and I’d be worried as hell about him, he always made sure I smiled whenever I was around him.
"Wow, you okay?" Lily asked, snapping me out of my thought "You kind of looked like you were about to cry just now"
"I’m fine" I said smiling "But I need to go. I still have a lot to do"
"Okay" she smiled at me "If you need anything just let me know, okay? I work with Dean at the mechanic shop"
"Thanks, Nice meeting you guys. Bye" and before they could answer I left. Lily seemed like nice girl; she was gorgeous, nice, and strong. If only I had been as strong as her when... No, I wouldn’t think about what happened with Luke anymore. It was a Chapter I had ended a long time ago.
=============
"Is everything okay?" Ethan asked his arms wrapped around me as he kissed me right beneath my earlobe, causing me to shiver "You’ve been unusually quite"
"Just thinking" I said smiling and giving him a peck on the lips when he looked like he didn’t believe me "Really. I was just lost in thought"
"Yeah Ethan, Lily isn’t used to using her brain so go easy on her" Dave teased and I rolled my eyes, throwing a pillow at him. We were all sitting in the living room. It was almost a week after graduation and we were all glad we could start the summer holidays. "Probably thinking about that guy she hit today"
"What guy?" Ethan asked, immediately his protective side taking over. I sent the twins a glare and they just smirked at me.
"No guy" I said smiling "The twins are being their usual selves"
"Don’t tell me you forgot about the guy you hit at the grocery store. Remember? Because he-"
"You’re hallucinating" I said dryly and Ethan grabbed my chin and turned my head so I would look at him, his eyes were darkening.
"Because he what?"
"He was just a human" I shrugged "The idiot slapped my butt"
"And offered her a ’good time’ " Jim added making air "es
"He what" Ethan said angrily and I immediately pressed my lips to his, calming him down. "I should kick his ass"
"I already did that" I said pulling away "You really need to lose his over-protective thing. You know I can take care of myself" Ethan had been a bit too over-protective after we fully mated. I guess almost losing me affected him more than I thought. His protectiveness lessened after a while but like any other male wolf he couldn’t help but having that trait.
"Is that why you’ve been so quiet?" Xavier asked "Because of that guy?"
"No" I said shaking my head "it was this girl we met there; I don’t know she seemed..."
"Hot?" Dave said
"Shy?" Jim added.
"I was going to say guarded" I said giving the twins a look, I was going to get them for telling Ethan about the guy at the store later but I really couldn’t help but think about that girl, Nate "I don’t know there was something about her"
"You mean dangerous?" Jacob asked "A rogue?"
"No she was human" I said "And not dangerous she just...she’s not like most of the human girls here. She seems more mature and....careful, like she doesn’t want anyone near her"
"A lot of people are like that Lily" Adrian said "A lot of things happen to good people sometimes" I nodded knowing what he said was true. "You’re not going to let this go, are you?" Ethan asked with a smirk and I laughed.
"Nope" I tangled my fingers through his and kissed him, he immediately deepened the kiss. Soon enough Ethan stood up and with me in his arms, never breaking the kiss.
