An hour and a few minutes.
That’s how long I think I and Adam have been talking about ourselves and certain mories which had made us laugh many at tis and had brought little tears to my eyes.
One thing that had stood out as I communicated with Adam was the inner peace I felt.
It felt like ho. It was beautiful. It was satisfying.
Why hadn’t we noticed this before? Why hadn’t we done this earlier? Why now?
I was beginning to feel bereft since I would be leaving by the weekend.
I wasn’t the only one feeling this by the way. I knew this because I could see it on the worry creases that lined his forehead whenever he talked about leaving. I could see it in the satisfactory smiles on his lips as he spoke, even as he is talking right now about a mory that consisted of Noah being pursued by a mad stray dog.
I laughed, happy, sated, seeing him laugh too. We have been done with eating for a while. I had wanted to pack up the plates earlier, but he had ntioned that I leave it, citing that the butler would soon be coming to pick it up. There was no sink in the cave after all.
I had relaxed into my chair then, full from one of the best als I have ever eaten in my life.
"You know, I can tell my father to let you stay, of course I would have to take you under my protection to do that..." Adam said at the mont, and I bit my lips, turning my face to the other side.
I was at odds.
I wanted to leave the pack, yes. But an hour and few minutes with him in private was threatening to crack the thick wall I had built around my decision.
Should I stay? Would I find soone like Adam in the human world?
"You don’t have to answer now. You can take your ti to think about it. I believe there are still four days or so before you leave, right?" He questioned, and I nodded, my tongue too heavy to speak.
What would I say now? There was nothing to say. It was best I let it stay for a night or two.
For one, I was sure my mother would be happy if I chose to stay back, although she wouldn’t find it funny if she found out it was because of the king’s son. Naomi would have the sa reactions too, and I don’t bla them.
Adam would soon have his first shift, and would have to choose a mate in a month or two, a mate that has been Claire since ti immorial.
So, there was no need to hope for anything. I hadn’t a wolf so it was impossible that we would be mated. There was no need to think of staying either. There was no need letting the answer fester either.
The answer was a huge no, and I should say that. That I couldn’t, that there was no need for him to keep hanging on a rope like this, that there was no use for him to give false hope, but I said none of these, rather I kept mute, watching him with curious eyes as he stood up from his chair and walked up to .
"Get up. I think we have been sitting for a while. And if I should rember our health classes very well, it isn’t advisable to sit for so long." He said, chuckling as a smile slithered across my lips.
Adam could be humorous when he chooses to be. I didn’t know that till today.
I didn’t know that he could smile and laugh for long hours with people other than his siblings. I didn’t know I would ever catch his fancy to this extent and now it was ssing up my feelings especially as he pulled up from the chair to himself, my head resting on his chest. What next?
"You know,lately, I have been asking myself why I had been blind to this side of you. You are the most refreshing girl I have ever spoken to." He muttered, allowing his hands to rest on my thin waist.
I felt his lips press together on my forehead the sa ti that his hands around my waist tightened, and I inhaled sharply, swallowing my saliva, wondering where this would lead to.
Would my erotic dream co to pass? Would I lose my virginity today?
A split second-I think I want to.
It was stupid, but if I could choose, I would prefer Adam, not that there are any more choices. It was better to do it and get it over with, since I would be leaving after all.
When I was growing up, I thought I would keep myself for my mate, but the mont the pack’s doctor had announced that my wolf gene was absent, the zeal to keep it all locked up faded out. Still, there had been no one to do it with.
Everyone had turned against like they had been programd to. Including Adam.
Now, he was the one dropping a kiss on my two cheeks.
The rembrance of that killed my mood, and I stepped back a bit, straightening invisible creases on my trousers.
"What is the matter?" He asked, stepping closer to .
Couldn’t he detect that I had stepped away to be far from his presence?
"Nothing, I just need so air." I replied, walking past him to the open air where the cliff ended.
"Do you want to take a dive then?" he questioned, his eyes darting between and the waterfall.
I furrowed my eyebrows at his question, looking away from the cliff to his face. He wasn’t joking, not with the serious expression that coated his face.
Oh my.
Swimming with him? That was another one way ticket to sex with him.
"No, I’m just fine up here. Maybe another ti.’ I answered.
If there would be another ti.
I doubt I would be coming to school or here ever again.
