Full Moon Next To You; Phantom Love 32
Samantha's head was spinning. She was desperately trying to figure out how to forget about all this, if only for a little while, when Providence gave her such a chance.Mom called, asking her to come to the bookstore and help her - my father had to urgently leave on business, and in the morning a large batch of new editions arrived. Sammy promised to be in half an hour and rushed to the bus stop.The store greeted her with her favorite smell of new books. Sammy thought with regret that she hadn't been here for a long time, and she really liked to read. But after that ill-fated quest, thoughts and feelings did not allow me to be distracted by reading, and even during my illness, an attempt to pick up a book failed. Trying her best not to fall back into the abyss of thinking about Travis, Samantha went to her mother.Teresa smiled happily at her, but looked tired.- Baby, it's just a blockage! she complained. - As always, all the difficulties in one day. In the back room there is a real

They returned home only late in the evening. Mom was pretty tired, and Sammy was knocked down after a stormy day. Their father greeted them with two large boxes of fragrant pizza."Sorry, I wore you out today," he smiled embarrassedly. “But at least I saved you the trouble of cooking dinner. Get undressed quickly and sit down to eat - the pizza is still warm, I just got home."Ben, you're a miracle," Teresa groaned as she took off her shoes. Cheese pizza is exactly what I need right now. How was the meeting?- Order - the publisher agreed to small periodic orders, although they usually prefer large batches.“Dad, you blew them away with your charm,” Sammy laughed as she opened a cardboard box that smelled amazing of cheese.Ben chuckled.- No, honey, we're just the only bookstore in the whole area. And they have a new manager with a non-standard approach to sales.The Wylie family started to eat while jokingly, and Sammy was eager to go to his room and read some more. Teresa generousl

Samantha set her phone down on the table, still pouting, and then her eyes fell on the screen, where the last photo Travis had viewed was open.Selfie, her and Leah, they took it just a couple of days before the quest. Sammy remembered how they both fooled around and laughed while taking pictures. The grief and pain of losing her friend squeezed her heart again, and the girl's lips trembled.If she hadn't been so tired, agitated and upset, she would never have betrayed her feelings. But all these factors, coupled with the presence of Travis, who acted on her in a strangely frank way, completely destroyed her self-defense. A tear ran down Sammy's cheek, and she hastily wiped it away with her pajama sleeve.- Well, here we are, - she heard Doyle's voice, which, oddly enough, sounded soft. And the next moment he rose from his chair, and she was in his arms.Surprised, Sammy didn't even think to resist. She buried her face in his bare shoulder—Travis was stripped to the waist—and closed h

An alarm clock chirped in my ear. Feeling the phone, Sammy turned off the ringtone and put it back on the nightstand, rubbing her eyes with her fingers. How would you like to sleep...The next moment, her eyes fluttered open of their own accord, and her heart began to pound. Jumping up on the bed, Sammy turned - there was no one beside her. Only a crumpled pillow and a slight scent of his perfume. Looking around, she saw the familiar furnishings of her room, but Doyle had indeed left.- My God ... - only the girl could whisper to herself under her breath.She spent the night with Travis in the same bed. Moreover, in his arms! The overwhelming excitement made her hands tremble as Sammy pushed back the covers and stumbled into the bathroom. Seeing herself in the reflection of the mirror, she groaned, a crow's nest on her head, puffy eyes from sleep. He looked at her while she was sleeping, in this form ...Who said they were close? Oh yes, now without a doubt! Samantha had never even sl

In addition to biology, she and Doyle had another lesson in common - literature, where he, of course, sat down with her again. Sammy no longer reacted so strongly to the presence of Travis near, and their conversation calmed her down a little. She smiled involuntarily when the topic of the lesson was Jane Eyre, the same one she had read the day before. Without even suspecting what impressions await her after ...Travis watched her for a while, then chuckled softly."I thought you loved this book," he said softly, leaning towards Sammy.- Why? She raised her eyes. – Like, is it not very fashionable to be interested in classical literature?Doyle shrugged."It's not fashionable to be stupid," he said. - And in the classics you can learn a lot of useful things. Unless, of course, you know where to look."I didn't know you were a reader," Sammy giggled. “Okay, then how did you figure out Jane Eyre?”- Frog, it's so simple. Travis's blue eyes sparkled. - You look like a heroine.- Say too

When class finally ended, Sammy said goodbye to her friends who kept teasing her about Travis and headed to the parking lot to find him.Travis was standing by his car, but not alone - he had that guy with him again, just like in the cafeteria. After a moment's hesitation, Samantha, nevertheless, went to him. If Doyle changed his mind, so much the better. At least, that's what she told herself, trying to subdue the excitement that had come from nowhere.Seeing her, Travis turned around.“Hi, Frog,” he said, smiling a little. - Where are you? Steve has been entertaining me with stories for fifteen minutes now, but I suspect they are running out.- This is unlikely, - his interlocutor laughed and held out his hand to Samantha: - Steve Allen.He had a pleasant low voice, and Sammy liked his look - nothing to do with Shannon's perpetual mocking mockery."Samantha Wylie," the girl nodded and shook a firm hand. Turning to Doyle, she made a sarcastic grimace, “Sorry, Travis, I don’t have sup

"Abi isn't the worst person," Travis said again. “Sometimes we are too dependent on the opinions of other people. And sometimes, on the contrary, we succumb to all the garbage that's going on inside. He lowered his head. “You know, I wanted to tell you something. You said yesterday that I am free to do it when I see fit.- About what Zach said? Sammy asked, and Doyle nodded.- Yes. In fact, I did a lot of nasty things, but for one thing I'm really ashamed. Do you remember Gary Wright?Samantha strained her memory, but shook her head, and Travis grunted.- No wonder - Harry was "invisible". Of those who no one notices. But one day, to his misfortune, I caught my eye ... It all happened a couple of years ago. Then I started having big problems with my father, and I was constantly beside myself with rabies. He exploded on every occasion, hated the whole world ... Once in a history lesson, I answered, and Gary dared to correct me - he, as it turned out, knew the topic well, was fond of it

But as soon as she entered the house, the good mood began to evaporate - her parents went out to the door, and, judging by their appearance, they were very unhappy.- Samantha, where have you been? the father asked sternly. - It's already dark outside! And your phone is off.Sammy bit her lip, forgetting that her cell phone went dead at the end of the school day.“I was walking,” she said. - With a friend.- So I understand, with the same Travis? Ben spoke up again. His eyes, usually kind, darkened. “And, let me guess, this is Carter Doyle’s son?”"Yes," Sammy confirmed quietly, realizing that it was useless to lie.“Listen,” interrupted the mother, who was clearly upset. “It's not about whose son he is… We were just worried, Sammy! I asked you to come home early, and you show up almost at night, and you don’t even pick up the phone! What should I have thought?- I'm sorry, mom. I forgot about the phone ... Well, I can’t always be an exemplary girl! I wanted to take a walk, and I went

- Which?"I owe you something," Travis smiled slyly. - Let's go to.Her heart beat faster as Sammy took his hand and followed him. He didn't have to go far, only to his car parked nearby.- Wait a minute, I'm here. Travis ran into the house while Sammy waited.Left alone for a while, she fell ill and took a breath - there were a lot of impressions today. In the morning, he, Travis, and Leah visited Steve in the hospital, and now Doyle was no longer tormented by the upcoming treatment of a friend. They knew that this would not happen, and the joy of the meeting was not overshadowed by worries and fears. Steve was on the mend with confidence, though not at a wolf pace, and looked noticeably better. They chatted happily, making plans for the future, and Sammy smiled involuntarily as she watched Steve and Leah. They seemed to be truly in love with each other, and she was pleased with every word they exchanged.Everything had changed so much in the past few days that Sammy had no time to t

On a Saturday afternoon, Sammy and Travis were driving to his parents' house, and Samantha did her best to calm the excitement that was playing out in earnest. Travis cheered her up in every possible way, but she still had goosebumps.“What if he doesn’t like me, and he will be against our relationship ...” she muttered, clenching her trembling fingers in her lap, and Travis smiled:"Even if the whole world is against it, it won't hurt us," he said. - Listen, I already regret that I complained to you so much about your father - you consider him almost a fiend. My dad, of course, is not a gift, but far from a fool, and will be able to recognize a good smart girl. Actually, I'm sure he's got all the information he can on you, so don't worry.Sammy glared at him and Doyle laughed.- Well, what did you think? He's worried about me, as it turned out, so he wouldn't be surprised.- Come on, both of you ... - Sammy muttered, which amused Travis more than ever.But he, despite the bravado, wa

Remembering this, Sammy blushed involuntarily, and Travis mistook her embarrassment for alarm.- Everything will be fine, Frog! It will only clarify my position, nothing more. Do you believe me?"Yes," Sammy whispered, and the excitement dissipated like mist before it arrived.Matthew was a burly, black-haired man in his forties, about the same age as Becker. He stared at Sammy and Travis as they drew closer, then smiled, and Samantha's heart eased, meaning he didn't see the new werewolf as a threat. When Becker, who seemed slightly flustered, introduced them to each other, they sat down at a table away from the noisy room.First, Matthew told Travis the same legend, and he listened very carefully, although he knew its content. At the moment when they talked about the love of the young man for his brother and how it helped him become a man again, Travis turned to Sammy:"You didn't tell me that," he said slowly. “So that’s where my salvation was?” That's why you had such an influence

When Sammy and Travis arrived at school a week later, they were in a wonderful mood. The week flew by like a flash, and they spent almost all the time together. They decided to postpone dinner at the Doyle house - Travis's father, who really withdrew his candidacy for mayor of the city, came to grips with the affairs of his company, and so far was very busy. But nothing prevented Travis from being with Samantha, and they spent a couple of evenings at her house, in the company of their parents.Ben, if at first he was on his guard, soon relaxed, and he and Travis quickly found a common language, talking about different things. Sammy and her parents were surprised to learn that the Doyle family donated a large amount to the fire relief fund and also provided food aid - Carter Doyle, among other things, owned a large supermarket chain. So the opinion about Doyle Sr., if not changed, then somewhat softened, which Sammy was very glad about - I would not want their parents to be at enmity.

Sammy had been sleeping for almost a whole day and when she woke up she felt like a mindless zombie. However, it was for the best, and the terrible moments that she experienced went further and further into the depths of her consciousness. She thought only of Travis and was madly waiting for a new meeting, not at all doubting that he would come.She washed up and ate again with her parents, then called Leah and Jasper. Both were fine, just worried about her, but she assured her friends that she was fine. Sammy knew she would have to explain something to them about what had happened later, but not now. It was a huge stroke of luck that the friends didn't have to watch Travis' or Defalco's conversions, and the terrible secret remained unsolved.She didn't want to think about Defalco, but Sammy kept thinking about Travis' words. It was hard to believe that Ray would forever remain a wolf and never come back, but she believed Travis - he would never let him go if there was a chance that h

What happened next was like a blur. Medics ran up to them to help, firefighters put out the fire - as it turned out, they almost always went with the police to such calls. A helicopter was circling in the sky, and it seemed to Sammy that she was in some kind of action movie, everything that was happening around was so wild.None of them were seriously injured, and the doctors took care of the wounded Yamamoto, only treated the abrasion on Travis's head. Sammy watched as he was loaded on a stretcher into an ambulance.- What will happen now? she asked quietly. “What if he tells the police everything?”- And who will believe him? Travis put his arm around her as he sat next to her. They both wrapped themselves in one blanket, and the heat in Travis's body slowly subsided. “He’s crazy, I knew that right away. And now he has no proof.- Something left. Sammy looked up at him. Becker saved his notebook before setting off the explosion.- What? Travis suddenly laughed. "So he did it?" Look,

The pain in the body gradually passed, but the soul was torn to pieces. Sammy thrashed about inside the basement as if she were a wolf locked in a cage. She pounded on the door until her hands went numb, then she slid to the floor, barely breathing.It seemed like an eternity to her when, finally, the lock clicked again. Sammy backed away from the door, standing on trembling legs, ready to fight whoever it was.But on the threshold she saw not tormentors at all. In disbelief, Sammy staggered and literally fell into Leah's arms.“Sam, God…” she breathed, and Sammy, barely able to speak, muttered:- Leah... Travis is there... I have to save him!"Hush, hush," Leah whispered, holding her. - We found him, everything is in order! He didn't get hurt! Let's go to…With difficulty rearranging her legs from surging weakness, Sammy went, supported by her friend, up the stairs. Once at the top, Leah called out:- I found it, Jas!- Jas? Sammy asked, barely breathing. - He is here?..- Well, what

I resisted as best I could, but the strength seemed to have disappeared, and all I was able to do was yell and curse at the bastard who squeezed my hands in a steel vise.Defalco just laughed, listening to my impotent threats:- Don't squeal, Doyle, it won't help you... It's your own fault that you'll die and framed your girl... That's what happens when you get in my way. It would be better for you if you understood this earlier.- Stinky coward! I shouted, helplessly trying to resist him. - In the forest you draped from us that your heels sparkled! What, are you afraid that without an injection of this psycho I will wind your guts around your neck ??Defalco twisted my arm so that sparks came out of my eyes from the pain, and then slammed my head against the wall. My mind went haywire, and I would have collapsed to the floor if he hadn't continued to drag me down the corridor.The design on the stupid wallpaper swirled before my eyes, dancing in strange zigzags. It looks like flowers

Sammy didn't know how much time they spent in their arms, kissing, hugging and caressing each other. A minute or an hour - time has disappeared, leaving them only love. When, finally, they managed to open their arms, at least a little, an understanding began to come of what was happening to them now.- Travis... What will happen to us? Sammy said, looking into his eyes, which immediately turned into pain."I don't know, my good…" Travis sighed. But remember that I won't let you get hurt. I will do anything for this.Sammy looked around - the basement was completely empty, only a plastic bucket in the corner and a bottle of water. It wasn't until she saw her that she realized how thirsty she was.- Can I have some water? she asked, and Travis immediately pushed the bottle towards her.- I'm sorry, Frog, I didn't think that ... Hold on quickly.After draining at least half of it at once, Sammy took a breath. Putting the bottle aside, she glanced at Travis and only now realized that he h
