Rita
My eyes widened, did he actually leave the door unlocked? I open it slowly and stick my head out to look at the empty space between the rooms, it sounded like I was alone, so I make my way down the stairs, to my left is a living room, to my right a huge kitchen bar with stools around it, a sink, some cabinets filled with dishes, cups and what not. ofcourse there's no coffee machine, so I start opening the cabinets, looking for something that I desperately need, "looking for this?" , I shriek and turn around, there stands Xavier , holding up a bag of instant coffee,and for some reason, my eyes can't help but roam all over him, from the hand that he's holding the bag with, to the strong arms, the chest that is covered with a button shirt that he had rolled its sleeves up, the jeans, he clears his throat, and my eyes jumo back to his face, those eyes, the brows with the scar, a look of concern that turns into a wicked one "see something you like, little mouse?".
At his words, I blush , but quickly walk towards him "yes, I see cafe", I reach out to take it from his hand, but he lifts it higher, making me stand on my toes to try to reach it,he grins "you need to try harder to get it, maybe give me a sweet good-morning kiss?", I shake my head "I think not, give me that", I jump and almost catch it, but he lifts it ever higher in the air, and I stumble forward, his arm wraps around my waist and holds me steady, "easy there little mouse", I stare up at hima angrily "quit playing around already", his eyes earch mine, his arm that is still wrapped around me holds me tighter, and he held me flush to his body, I could feel the warmth radiating from him, and I wanted nothing but to be even closer, I felt my cheek flush as I put my hands on his chest and started pushing away, his eyes never left mine as he said "or what?", I stare at him confused "what?", he smiled "what would happen if I don't quit playing around?", I roll my eyes and push one last tie, thankfully this time he lets go ,"just give me the coffee bag, por favor?", he frowns "what's that?" , I titled my head to the side "what?", he replied "por…", I actually smiled at his naive reaction towards my language , "por favor, means please ", he blinked and nodded , "here", he gave me the coffee bag and I started preparing some.
"So, tell me about yourself" I sigh as I prepare the coffee, he doesn't answer so I look behind my shoulder, he's sitting on one of the bar stools, and seems to be more serious now, he was facing the window, and seemed to be deep in thought, so I clear my throat and turn back around as I try again "how old are you?" , I hear a slight movement, he adjusted himself, "I'm 30", I nod "we're the same age", I hear him chuckle "yeah? when were you born? I sigh "1994" , he nods "what date?" , I take both coffee mugs and walk t the bar, handing him one I say "May,20th", he takes the mug from my hand and eyes it, I look at the mug and back at his face "need some sugar?" , he shakes his head as he keeps looking down "I never had coffee before", I gape at him, "seriously? how? I can never live without coffee" , he puts the mug down and smiles at me "werewolves are naturally high-alreted, so we don't need caffeine", I nod "right, I forgot you were a werewolf", his smile drops and he frowns "I would never hurt you", I look out the window as I hold the mug with both of my hands to keep them warm, I want to believe him,but I can't, as if readin gmy mind he speaks again "look, I know you may find it hard to believe me now, I know you still don't trust me, but look me in the eye and tell me, do you believe in the bond between us?" , I look at him "I don't know what to believe anymore, my whole life, I've been told that monsters don't exist, werewolves, vampires, witches, these were all old folk tales, until one day , I find myself in a world where monsters DO exist, not only cryptids, but also humans, either way, I got stuck with both types on two different occasions in my life", he stares at me witha solemn expression, I realize I may have spoken in an un-necessary harsh way, so I sigh and brush my hair back "listen, Xavier, I may not believe yet, but I do understand what this is about, I just… need time, this all hit me like a truck, one day I have a normal day , and not even 24 hours later, I find myself in a totally different place, alone, abandoned by a guy I thought had something for me-" he cuts me as his palm lands hard on the bar and he stands up, I jolt , his angry eyes meet mine and I hear a growl "again with that guy? that pathetic human?" , I feel my blood starting to boil, I stand up and lock eyes with him as I speak in a menacing tone "that pathetic human, is just as pathetic of a human as I am, isn't he?", this seemed to surprise him, his anger immediately is replaced with a regretful look "no, I didn't mean it that way I-", I raise my hand in his face "tell you what, until you get yourself under control , I will keep my words to myself, and I won't talk to you about anything about me anymore", I take the coffee mug and walk towards the stairs , he walks behind me "Rita, wait, please", I raise my hand in the air as I climb the stairs "not another word Xavier".
Xavier
Just as I hear my bedroom door slam shut, I take the bar stool and slam it to the ground with all my fource "FUCK!" , the wooden stool breaks to pieces and I watch the last wooden piece roll away as I breathe hard and try to calm myself, just as I thought I was starting to make some progress I'm back to point zero. I rub my face and take a calming breath, I gotta get my anger under control before my wolf comes out.
Walking towards the living room I take a seat on the couch, this really is harder than I thought, her words about that loser having feelings for her made me want to tear him to shreds, I startled her, but if she was scared and didn't want to show it, then she is really good at it because I didn't even smell her fear. Was she even scared ? I remember how she stuck her palm in my face and made me, the Alpha, shut my mouth, I huff a small laugh, her words, her attitude, it's as if she's teaching me a lesson to respect her. I smile , I actually like that, she's acting like a Luna.
A knock on the door cuts my thoughts and makes my smile vanish, "come in", the door opens slowly, whoever is behind it seems to see the mess I made and decides to be careful, good choice. "Alpha?", it's Beast, "Come in Beast", the door cracks open and Beast strodes in, covered in mud from head to toe , I glare at him "what the fuck happened to you? why are you covered in mud?" , Beast shakes his head ,"I had to cover my scent and my body heat", I narrow my eyes, "why?, Beast sighs "blood suckers, I found a den near our territory", my blood runs cold, "oh shit".
