Chapter 6

Ashley Falls: He took a bite of the piece of cake and asked me to take a bite. I took a bite of the piece of cake from his hand. He put that piece on the table and licked his two fingers which were holding the cake. He was looking very hot. I was looking at his fingers.

He again cut the cake and I burst the party pooper. A loud sound came and glittering substances began to fall from the sky. I was looking at them and unintentionally I was smiling. It was the first time that I smiled genuinely in all troubles. I looked at him and noticed that he was staring at me all the time.

"What happened?"I gestured with my eyes.

"Your smile is magical." He said with rude, cold expressions and in a serious voice.

I didn't know what to say. Somebody never said that to me."Oh, aaaa thanks. Thank you very much." I looked at him. He was still looking at me. I quickly started to look at the room. "Waoo. You did a great job. All these balloons and decorations. I thought that you would like to celebrate your birthday in a club or at a party full of hot boys and girls. But it's only me. Huh."

"I know bad boys very well. You will celebrate your birthday after my departure at night. You thought that I didn't know. Right? Hmmmm?"

He stared at me. And didn't say a word. "Oh, come on. Why are you surprised? I told you I dated a bad boy before you. I know such types of things?"

"Listen, I need to go now. It's very late" I said to him but still looking at me. No reply.

"Okay. Let me give you a ride home." Thank god. He gave a reply. And a relieving reply.

"No, no. I can go by myself. I am going to my house. The one for which you gave money. It's not too far."

"Okay." He said.

I was going to turn and walk but then again I looked at him and said," By the way, what with these expressions. Serious, cold and rude. Where are your expressions? You should at least smile, Ben. I tried to imitate him and said, "You only know some words like okay, Hy, I am outside etc."

"Ben?" He said with the same serious expressions. "Oh, sorry. I actually saw a receipt in the bathroom. Your name was written on it. Ben Melberg. Your name is good. It suits you. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask me my name earlier." He said.

"Really? No. You didn't tell me. You should have told me."

"You called me bad boy," he said.

Oh, well you looked like one. But now youuu look like a good type of bad boy."

He was surprised and said,

"What? A Good type of bad boy?"

"Good type of bad boy". He again said and began to smile. It was the first time I saw him smile. I just got lost in the moment. I was standing far away from him because I was leaving. "Your smile is also magical." It just slipped through my tongue. I couldn't hold it after seeing him smile.

"What?" He said with cold expressions. "Your smile. It's beautiful." He was staring at me and said nothing.

I again turned and took some steps ahead.

"Listen." He stopped me with his voice. I turned and said, "yes."

"Message me when you reach home." He said.

"Huh. Okay." I was startled. Nobody said that to me or tried to care for me before. Even Jane hadn't said that to me.

"You….. you should smile more. It's good for health. Bye". I said to him and left in a taxi.

Chris Melberg: I woke up in the morning and I saw decorations in the room. I was sitting on a chair and my head was resting on the table. Happy birthday was written on the wall. But I didn't know whose birthday it was. Yesterday, it wasn't my birthday. Maybe it was the birthday of that human mate of nick. He must have used dad's ATM card. I saw a receipt with the name of Ben Melberg and it was my dad's name.

Dad gave him this card and I didn't know where he hid this ATM card. I need to do more research on PTSD. As far as I think, the PTSD is different in werewolves as compared to humans. He thinks that he has a mate and that mate is human. It is not possible for him to have a mate. And the life of that human mate is in danger.

I went to the library to read psychology books. I put my hand on a book, grab it and somebody from behind me put hand on my hand. I felt a spark of high emotions in my whole body. The book fell from my hand and I turned.

"I am sorry, sir. I think I scared you." A girl said while picking the book from the ground. She got up and handed me the book.

"Hy, you are.…… Chris. Right?" She said,

She handed me the book. Her eyes were sparkling and I was just looking in them.

"Yes, I am." I said slowly.

"You are Emma…. Emma Gray. The girl from the cave."

"Yeah, you got that. You remember me?"She asked while getting surprised.

"How can I forget you?" I whispered unintentionally.

"Excuse me" she said, her expressions changed in a minute with anger.

"I mean you helped me. How can I forget you?" I said quickly.

"Oh, yes." She said,

"By the way, had you felt that……. that spark?" I whispered.

"Which spark?" She asked while whispering.

I got that she hadn't felt anything so I just changed the topic and said, " by the way, do you also want this book?" I gestured at the book with my eyes while holding it with my both hands.

"Yes, I need that book." She whispered.

"So, you are a psychology student?"

"Duh" she whispered.

"No, I just thought that……" I got confused and nervous.

"I was just joking. Don't be too serious. Anyone can read it. But I am a psychology student."

After saying that, she started to look at my face.

What? I gestured with my facial expressions.

She gestured with her eyes to book. She wanted to ask why I needed that book.

"Oh, I……. am a freelancer. And a company asked me to write an article on mental health. So, I decided to do some research." I quickly made out a story to tell her and I was very convincing.

"Okay, Mr freelancer try to read this book quickly. I also need this for an assignment". She whispered and the librarian came to us. Librarian put his finger on his lips and asked us to keep quiet.

I looked at the librarian and didn't pay attention to him.

"Just use your vampire speed and read it." I handed her the book and said,

"You both, out of the library, right now. You are disturbing everyone." Librarian said.

We both looked around and people sitting on the table chairs were staring at us.

Emma looked in the librarian eyes and said, "okay, we are going out but can I borrow this book…. Please."

"Yes, you can borrow it." He said and he was clearly hypnotized by her.

We both went out of the library.

"Because of you we both get kicked out of the library." Emma looked at me and said in a loud voice with anger.

"Whaaaat? Because of me?" I also said in a loud voice while pointing out my index finger to my stomach.
