3: Silver wolf

 *Logan*

 “You think they are triplets ... or sisters ?” AJ mumbles in a low voice, nodding towards the three very similar girls walking a bit ahead of us chatting excitedly.

 I shake my head. “Nah ... they are just like fashion clones ... doppelgangers in matching puffy jackets”.

 I hear a chuckle from the other side of the road where Lee is trotting along.. he hasn’t said a word while we walked.. but he has been throwing a stick for  Luna and scratched him behind the ear, so my dog is trotting happily along beside him, a stick in his mouth.

 “Not sure if I find them scary or weirdly attractive”. AJ sighs, looking after the girls.

 I chuckle and Lee lets out a snort ... I think it was an amused sound. Then I shake my head. “Whichever it is ... better stay away AJ, you’ll just get burned ... also they are what twenty-one … Twenty-two ... just nah”.

 “Hey, I am like almost ... half your age .. but yeah, okay, you are right ... as always”. He shrugs. “Not really my type ... types ... whatever, either and I am probably not their type either”.

 “Don’t sell yourself short ... no pun intended”. He shoots me a dirty look. He has always felt a little touchy about his height, as werewolves are usually tall. “No seriously, any woman would be lucky to have you ... you are a good guy”.

 He pats my shoulder. “Thanks man and well right back at you ... now we just need to go dig up those amazing women who are lucky to have us”.

 “Uhm could we like ... find them above ground ? I prefer the unburied kind”. I grin and jump away when he tries to hit me over the head. “You need to jump higher to do that AJ”.

 “Ouch”. Something hits me over the head and I turn to look at Lee. “Hey ... you hit me with the stick ... eww I got Luna drool in my hair”.

 AJ is clutching his stomach laughing. “Oh God ... priceless ... You so asked for that Logan. Well done Lee ... top points”.

 “I guess I did deserve that”. I sigh, now I need a shower. “Come on inside ... Well get you something to drink, anything else you might need”.

 AJ hurries up the steps and opens the door. “Welcome ladies ... Lee. The kitchen is right down the hallway”. 

 *Hadley*

 It’s a nice house actually, simple, nice, warm, with a scent that seems to wrap around me. Laila, Sindy and Barb are sitting in the living room discussing what to watch on tv and sipping on their herbal tea. I have stayed in the kitchen with Logan and AJ.

 “Tea or coffee Lee ?” Logan asks. 

 “Coffee please”. I don’t really have any idea why I am still hiding from him, it just feels like the right thing to do ... not revealing who I am.

 He comes over to hand me a cup, and I look up while taking it ... realizing something I hadn’t before, probably because I have been looking away from him. Without thinking it slips out. “Silver Wolf !”

 I am of course referring to the superhero he plays, who is also a werewolf.

 “Uhm.. I am not changing into spandex because you say the word, but well yeah … hi”. He grins and I quickly look down. “Hey it’s okay Lee, I hope you enjoyed the movie”.

 I nod, feeling heat rise in my cheeks. “A lot ... it was funny and you were very good”.

 “Aw thanks man, it’s nice of you to say”. He lights up with a bright smile. “Well I will go grab a shower”.

 He disappears and I can’t help looking after him. I hadn’t recognized him at first, both because I didn’t really look closely and he looks different with the beard. I have only seen him in Silver wolf and an old comedy tv series, and he was clean shaven in both ... the beard is a good look on him.

 I notice that AJ is looking at me a bit weirdly, as I am sipping my coffee under the hood and I make a swift decision, but before I can do anything he asks. “So ... what is your job ?”

 “I ... sing”. I put down my cup and let the hood fall back, pulling off the cap. “Hi ... it’s really Hadley, not Lee”.

 He looks like his eyes might pop out and his mouth is slightly open. “Ohh ... wow ... hi ... wow ... sorry you just look very different in real life”.

 “Yeah I know, sorry ... not so special just being me”. I give him a small shrug.

 “No, I didn’t mean that ... you are a very pretty girl”. He looks flustered. “Is that okay to say ?”

 I giggle, he is kinda cute being all flustered. “It’s fine AJ ... hey why do they call you AJ by the way ? If it’s okay to ask”.

 “Well, my name is really Andreas… and he ...”. He makes a motion towards the door where Logan disappeared. “ … found out it is also my fathers name, so they started calling me little Junior and Andy Junior, because ... Well I am small too. I am not a fan ... so it’s a compromise ... AJ”.

 “So you are okay with it ? I mean if you prefer me to call you something else I will”. I give him a smile. I mean if he is sensitive about his height I don’t want to make him feel bad.

 He smiles back and seems to relax. “It’s totally okay, I am used to it ... and well I know I am not really a big guy”.

 “Nothing wrong in that, good things come in small packages too”. I give him a wink and his cheeks actually turn pink.

 I hear Logan whistle from the bedroom and AJ looks like the cat who got into the cream. “Oh Logan will get so surprised seeing you are not a guy”.

 “Uhm could we not tell him just yet ? I know it’s a bit weird ... but please ?” I tip my head giving him my best puppy eyes.

 He looks slightly disappointed. “Okay, but you know Logan is not gonna judge, right. He is like a really cool guy”.

 “I am sure he is ...”. I hear him walk closer and quickly put back on the cap and pull up the hood. “But just humour me”.

 “Hey guys, aren’t they back with the car yet ?” Logan walks into the kitchen, making me bite my lip, why is he just wearin way to low hanging sweatpants ?

 I am shaking my head and AJ looks like he has a hard time keeping a straight face when he answers. “Nope ... not yet”.

 Logan pads over to the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water and drinking from it in big gulps, a drop spilling down on his chest. Seriously why the fuck is the guy insisting on looking like a freaking condom commercial ? “Ah okay”.

 “Maybe you should ... put on some clothes”. AJ is biting his lip. “You know if you need to help unload the car”.

 “Well yeah”. Logan says, scratching his stomach making his abs contract and my jaw drop ... holy … Hadley stop staring at him, he is gonna think you are gay for him.

 He turns and disappears into his room and AJ lifts one eyebrow, whispering. “You can stop staring now ... he has left”.

 “I ... wasn’t ... shit”. I shake my head. “Does he walk around like that often ?”

 “Well, yeah”. He chuckles.

 Just as Logan walks back into the kitchen, now wearing a hoodie, the car pulls up outside. “I’ll go see if they need help”.

 For some weird reason I manage to spill coffee down myself ... okay, so I was kinda looking at his ass, I never knew sweats could show an ass off like that. Luckily Logan doesn’t realise, but AJ is almost doubling over with laughter.

 “Damn ... and I am already dirty and have shit in my hair”. I mumble, pulling off the hoodie. I am wearing a tank top under so don’t worry, it’s not like I am flashing him.

 “You want a shower ? You can just borrow Logan’s bathroom, I’ll tell him ... it’s no problem”. AJ says his eyes darting around.

 A shower would be so great right now to be honest. “Are you sure it’s okay ?”

 “No problem at all, I assure you”. He gives me another friendly smile, but his eyes are avoiding me ... and then I realise the tank top is wet from the coffee, making my nipples stand out like search-lights ... Bravo Hadley, way to look like a porn star.

 “Uhm thanks”. I hurry towards the bedroom so I can have my back to him. “Could you please get my suitcase in here so I have clean clothes ?”

 “No problem, I’ll do that”. He calls after me, as I disappear.
