The day went normal without any trouble, I have creative writing class with Rachel as I made my way to my class, someone jerked my arm without warning which made me lose my balance before my ass kissed the ground they quickly steadied me by my shoulder.
“Hey, sorry for startling you,” My eyes were at the size of a saucer, I placed my hands on my chest to control my raging breath.
It was Drake, Xander’s brother. He was looking at me with an apologetic smile.
“Geez, don’t pull this act again, I nearly died of a heart attack,” I accused him
“Sorry about that,” he rubbed the back of his neck with a sheepish smile, I heaved a sigh and nodded at him.
“So…how is Xander?” I asked him casually, he knows that I know about his kind when we met at the star bucks.
“What is it with you guys talking about each other?” he wiggled his eyebrows and smirked at me knowingly.
“He talked about me?” I enquired with jubilance.
“First tell me is something going on between you two” he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively with a cocky smirk, my face heated up instantly remembering the first and only kiss I shared with Xander.
“Maybe we had kissed,” I squirmed at his narrowed eyes.
“What?!” he yelled in astonishment at the same time another voice yelled behind me, I turned around to see Rachel looking at me in shock, well, it was going to be a long day.
I promised them to tell everything during our lunch and I introduced them with each other. After our class we all made our way to the university cafeteria, Paul was already there sitting with his girlfriend, Chloe.
After greeting her, I introduced Drake to Paul and Chloe. Drake and Paul did a brotherly hug and patted each other’s back.
“Now care to explain,” Rachel fumed with resentment, she looks so mad.
“Whoa, what’s going on?” Paul eyed Rachel with bewilderment at her tone.
“You remember the guy who helped me during the second day of my arrival here?” I asked them, for which Paul nodded, Rachel remained in her stoic position, Chloe had no idea what’s going on and Drake was in deep thought.
“I kissed him,” I whispered, suddenly feeling all the eyes on me.
“How could you kiss a complete stranger?” Paul busted in with a frown, I expected this from him because he was a little protective of me like an older brother to his little sister.
I explained to them about the time I spent with Xander and all the events but I didn’t mention anything about werewolves and packhouse instead I replaced it with his family and doctor.
“Catherine, you know the man for a month, for god sake!” Paul yelled at me in frustration.
“I know but he is my family friend and my granny adores him, moreover I never intended to fall for him, it just happened.” I defended myself and stormed out of the cafeteria.
I heard Paul yelling my name to get my attention but decided to give me some time.
The day went with my sour mood, suddenly a muscular arm slung around my shoulders and pulled me closer to a hard chest and it was Paul. I didn’t say anything, my frown got deeper and I tried to shrug him off but he didn’t let me go.
“Look, Catherine, I’m sorry for behaving like a jerk earlier. I was just looking after you, now I realized how it must have hurt you.” He apologized sincerely. We stopped abruptly and turned to each other.
“Now give me that ugly smile of yours, shorty,” he made goofy faces, which made me clutch my stomach and laugh harder. No matter how mad I’m with him, he makes me smile at the end.
“And I’m not a Shorty you dumbass,” I smacked his chest playfully.
“Of course, Madame,” He mocked me with a terrible British accent. As we were making our way to his car, a familiar Lamborghini pulled near us.
“Missed me sweet cheeks?” It was Alexander. He was leaning on his car with a smug smile.
I ran by his side and threw my arms around him. I hugged him so tight like he would disappear any minute. He hugged me back instantly and planted a soft kiss on my temple and cheeks. I could feel the heat radiates off him, I was engulfed in his addicting masculine cologne.
“I missed you,” I whispered, my voice was huskier due to all the emotions. I thought he regretted our kiss and it’s just one day and I already feel like a year now. God, I was totally smitten by him.
He was a drug and I’m an addict, no one can separate my heart from him.
