“Those little shits!” Sue swore next to me. She’d been texting Rina about our engagement so she wouldn’t get sworn at when we told the family. Let’s just say Rina didn’t take it well when she found out Sue and I had been dating for years.
“Who?” I asked right before pulling into my parents’ driveway.
She sorted. “Your brother and my sister decided to get engaged today. Probably so they can have sex at your parents’ house.”
I started to laugh. “How much do you want to bet Kam forgot to talk to your dad?”
Sue started to laugh. “Do you really think he’s that stupid?”
“What the hell do you two have in your mattress?” Kam complained as he and Jimmy moved Saoirse and Rachel’s mattress to their new apartment on the floor beneath ours. “Gold bars?” Saoirse chuckled when they passed her. “I wish,” she said. “We just keep our rock collection there.” She and Rachel had packed up most of their things before we had returned to school from winter break, but they’d waited until we’d come back before really starting to move. They wanted the extra hands, and the literal “man power” of the guys to help move the furniture. I knew they weren’t going far, but they’d both become like sisters to me over the last few months. I was helping Nate dismantle their bed. “When did you two start collecting rocks?” he asked with a smirk. &n
I grinned when my phone rang a few minutes before I went to bed. Since I found that fun box of toys Jimmy gave me, he’s been annoyingly persistent at calling me every few days. Still, I found that I was enjoying his conversations. So, I accepted the call.“You know I’m trying to get ready for bed, right?” I greeted him.He chuckled. “Is your roommate back?”“Not yet,” I laid on my bed. “Why?”“So you can christen your bedroom with one of your toys,” I could hear the grin in his voice.“Pervert,” I said, but couldn’t help the smile that slipped onto my lip
Nothing is better than a hot coffee on a cold morning. I slid into my werewolf legends class, and sipped from my insulated mug while I waited for the professor to start the class. I looked at some of the students who had chosen to take this class this semester, and noticed most were older than me. Probably seniors.“Learning about our kind so you can fit in?” Matty slid into the seat next to mine. “Because it won’t work. You smell too different, freak.”I rolled my eyes. “Get lost, asshole.”“No,” he said. “I like this seat.”“Fine. I’ll,” I started, but didn’t get to finish because the professor walked in,
“Welcome to Starlight Grill, my name is Jimmy, and I will be your waiter this evening,” I said in my introduction as I set the waters down in front of the couple who looked very much like they were on a date. I had to give the guy sope respect for choosing one of the higher end places in town when he obviously looked like a college student. “Can I get anything started for the two of you?”I glanced at the woman, and she was beautiful. She had long, dark brown hair that she had gently curled around her heart shaped porcelain face. Her eyes were almond shaped and hazel, with a hint of shyness. The odd thing was that she was fully human. No hint of werewolf in her.I was brought out of my thoughts by her date who was just an average looking guy with medium brown curly hair, and the body language of a guy who was
“Ugh!” Kimi exclaimed when she burst into our room and started to take off layer after layer of tops. It was about halfway through the second week of the semester, and I was trying to get a paper done for one of my business classes. She was very distracting as she kept peeling her shirts off to reveal her luscious breasts and that sweet bump that was our baby.“Bad day?” I asked, my eyes refusing to leave her chest.She took off another shirt, leaving a long sleeve t-shirt on. She snapped at me to get my attention. “Eyes up here,” she growled, then wiggled her arms into her shirt. I glanced at her eyes, then back at what she was trying to do. It looked like she was attempting to escape from a straight jacket.“Sorry,” I a
“Are you still mad at me for kissing you?” Without looking up, I knew Whitney slid into the seat next to me.I just shook my head. “That kiss nearly caused me to lose my best friend,” I told her.“I know, and I’m sorry,” she whined. “I’m not going to lie and say that I hoped you wouldn’t break up, but you’re nice. I want to stay friends.”“I’m engaged, now,” I told her. “I don’t think my fiance will be okay with you specifically being my friend.”“You used to be nice,” she grumbled.I gave a dry laugh. “Yeah, and being nice nearly co
“Okay, so, we have about a week and a half before our protest,” Yelena said at our planning meeting. “What do we have, and what is left to do?”“The media has been informed of the date,” Katie announced, “and I’ve kept them informed of various developments, like Amy P. having trouble getting the permit to protest in front of the city police station.”“They were really nice until they asked why we were protesting, and I gave the clerk the answer,” Amy P. added. “I had to remind them about our civic rights, and I told them that the media would be informed about any grief.”“What’d the clerk say?” I asked, intrigued.Amy P.
“What time are they getting here, again?” Rina asked, checking her phone.I chuckled, and eyed the entrance to Streetwise, our group’s favorite restaurant. “We got here a little early. Relax,” I told her.She sighed. “Do you even know the name of my date?”“Nope,” I said absently. “Elli just calls him ‘Buffy.’”“Buffy?” she asked, and I turned to look at her. Rina’s eyebrows were up, and her gray eyes were filled with disbelief. “As in the vampire slayer?”“Yeah,” I said, confused. “I guess he’s blonde, peppy, and a black belt.
