Chereads / Blood & Chocolate / Chapter 19 - Cuffs

Chapter 19 - Cuffs

"We're getting nowhere with this' ' Laura exhaled. I'm defeated after another tiring night patrol in the woods with a whole team, and yet nothing. 

"We're just missing something-" 

"I don't want to hear one more word about werewolves again from you!" Laura shouted at Faye, making the poor officer squirm in fear. Faye nods, intertwining her hands together behind her back. 

"I'm leaving early today" Standing up from her seat Laura informs Faye giving her one more cautious look before exiting the office. 

Faye stood there racking her brain harder than she had ever done. The wounds on the victims clearly shows that that cannot be done by an ordinary wolf, or even anything ordinary. 

So what could It be except supernatural creatures?

Diana 

Trying my hardest to pay attention to the professor Zayn wasn't helping by the way his fingers were buried in my scalp from where he sat behind me gently scratching. 

"Hmm" I let out a small quiet moan when he scratched harder. 

"I can hear you" I heard Cole say from behind me right next to Justin. I roll my eyes, smiling gently. Zayn and I haven't really had a good talk about yesterday, we haven't had the chance to, we've been having lectures and practicals back to back since today. 

"Do you want to hang out after class?" Kai whispers to me trying not to be seen by the professor. I give her a small nod and a smile as her eyes trails to Zayn's fingers in my afro, she shakes her head with a smirk. 

"So that brings me to the end of today's class, don't forget to get the female mosquitoes next week for the practical" I choke on my saliva on hearing what just came out of the professors mouth. Since when did we start having weird practicals? Female mosquitoes?! "Have a good day" And with that he exits the room. 

Kai scoffs shoving her MacBook into its bag "Female mosquito? He just wants money" I nod, also putting my MacBook into my bag. Most professors do that,they ask for things they know we cannot get, then ask for money in replacement. 

"Hey" I flinch when Zayn whispers into my ear, I had no idea he was even that close. 

"Hi there boyfriend" I smile widely, tipping my toes and placing a kiss on his waiting lips. 

"Do you want to get out of here?" He asks tilting his head to the side making his hair cast across his eyes but he immediately shakes it off. 

"Sorry I have plans with Kai" I pout earning a scoff from him. I give him a warning look. "Zayn be nice" I warn. 

"Ugh fine! Hey Kai I see you have plans with Diana" You could tell it was all forced conversation but hey it was a start. 

"Yes" Kai blankly says, making me nod in approval. She doesn't seem as scared as she used to be. Impressive.

"Well bring her back to me in one piece" Zayn with a low voice making Kai nod giving him a confused look. 

"I'll see you later" He nods, pulling me closer by my neck and connecting his lips with mine. "I love you" He whispers, his lips still on mine. 

"And I love you" I reply, peeling myself away from his hard grip with a chuckle.

"It's been so long since we went on a date right?" Kai said as we walked into the amusement park. It was her idea to go to an amusement park and I didn't object. 

"Right!" I with a bashful smile. Since Zayn and I started dating I've been so overwhelmed and occupied by everything that I began to spend less time with my best friend. 

"Do you want to go for a ride?" She asks, pointing at the ferris wheel up ahead. Honestly I wasn't in any mood for any ride. I just wanted to play games and talk with my bestie, catch up with things I've been missing in her life. 

"Nah let's just play some games" I suggest while she nods, taking my hand and begins walking towards a zombie shooting game. 

"So tell me, about the girl you're seeing" I smirk, earning a groan from her. Unable to hold my laughter I burst out laughing and got some strange looks from people passing by. 

"We're not seeing each other, turns out she had a fight with her girlfriend and wanted to make her jealous" 

"Nah that's messed up" People still do that? I don't believe in using someone else to make your partner jealous on purpose, especially when it's then that your partner decides that he or she wants you back. If your partner won't come back to you unless he or she feels threatened then I don't see what they are doing in that relationship. That's what I believe. 

"I know right? I told her that it was cool though, luckily nothing happened between us before I found out" Kai explains as we were given the rules of the game which we already know by heart considering how many times we've been here. 

"FIRE!" I yell positioning my stance and shooting off the many zombies on the screen with a head and chest shot. 

"So what's new with you and Zayn" I hear Kai ask about the sound effects of the game. 

"I told him I love him" I smile remembering our moment yesterday. I'm glad I went to his house yesterday knowing I shouldn't have. What I was expecting never happened because Zayn cares about me, he fought his urge to mark me and fuck my brains out. It must have been hard considering It was a full moon. 

"Really?!" She exclaims looking away from the screen briefly and focusing back on the game. 

"Yea" I bit my bottom lip trying to hide my smile. 

After the last few rounds we finally stop playing the zombie games and move on to some other kind of activities like shooting pool.

After so many other games we sat down on a nearby bench drinking cold drinks.

"Ahh that was nice" I say, taking a huge gulp. 

"it was-"

"Yea it's nice seeing you again Diana '' Looking up at the person wearing a timberland standing in front of us. 

Josh.

I roll my eyes already plotting ways in my head to murder him.

"I see your jaw healed pretty early" I say with a hard scowl crossing my face.

He lets out a small laugh walking closer to us. "Yes luckily, I must say your boyfriend is one strong ass man" He lowered his eyes at me as I stood up from the bench not liking how he was looking down at me.

"The punch wasn't as strong as I thought it was if you're out of the hospital this early" Josh takes a step closer trying to intimidate me with his height but too bad for him I have a much taller boyfriend so I'm used to the height. "Are you stalking me? how are you even here?" 

"I didn't see yo dad's name at the gate" He replies with an annoyed tone making me scoff. "Anyways tell your boyfriend to watch his back" Josh threatens, making me chuckle. 

"OH no you don't wanna go there" Kai says stepping in. "Josh you don't wanna go there" 

"What are you? his baby mama?" Josh says looking amused. I glare at him rolling my eyes. He doesn't deserve my time or strength. He's just a worthless piece of shit.

"Let's get out of here Kai" I take Kai's hand, pulling her with me towards the exit. Wherever that guy goes there is always a bad aura looming around. 

Walking into the house I saw dad in the kitchen making dinner, I walked up to him hugging him from behind. "Hey dad" I greeted him, leaning my head on his shoulder and wrapping both arms around him tightly as if to never let go. He chuckled softly as the smell of freshly made lasagna filled my senses. 

"Hey Ana, how was today?" He asks.

"Good at first until Josh came along" I say, making dad turn around to face me. 

"That boy bugs you still?" He asks, raising his voice. Dad doesn't normally raise his voice unless it's something that really pisses him off. He's never been a fan of Josh even when we were both together and hearing how he broke my heart made dad hate him for real. 

"Zayn shifted his jaw so he came to cry about it to me" I say laughing and taking a peek at the piping hot lasagna making my mouth water. 

"Zayn huh?" I roll my eyes at the teasing tone on his voice. 

"Yea Zayn, my boyfriend" I say, placing my hands on my hips daring him to tease me one more time. 

"Sounds like Zandaya " 

"Dad!" I slap his shoulder shaking my head as he takes the tray from the counter to the living room.

"So tell me about Zendaya before your mum comes down. '' I looked around the house in confusion. I didn't think mum would be home this early.

"Mum is home?" I ask sitting next to him on the couch. 

"Yea, she came home exhausted" Dad sadly smiles. "You know your mum cares alot about you right?" He adds turning to face me. I nod with a tight smile. Of course I know mum cares about me but sometimes it can be overwhelming. 

"Don't take whatever she says to heart, okay" I nod. 

"So tell me about your Zendaya while we wait for this to cool off a little. Dad says, blowing on the food. 

"Zayn he's really different" Dad looks at me with a teasing look. "No really... he's different, he makes me happy and I him, he's really sweet although I might not show it to other people, and we really love each other" Bending my head to rest on my left shoulder I confess earning a soft smile from dad. 

"I'm really happy for you honey, and I'd love to meet him someday" 

"You will, soon" Mum walks into the room looking like she was just waking up from a nap. Her hair sticking to every direction. 

"You're just in time, we better start eating this before it gets cold '' Dad says, scooting over for mum to sit next to him and between the both of us. 

"Hi mum" Dad nudges her, making her release a soft breath when she doesn't respond immediately. 

"Diana...I want to apologize for the other day, I know I was being unreasonable and selfish but I do mean well for you" I nod understanding that mum means well for me, she's just worried like every other mother would be. 

"I know" I reply with a voice barely there nodding. She chuckles, outstretching her hands and pulling me in for a hug. 

"So when are we meeting the lucky guy?" She asks as we pull away from each other. 

"His name is Zendaya " 

"Dad!" 

"What? Diana, are you dating a guy that has cock as his last name?" Oh God! I slap my hand across my forehead glaring at dad who sat there proudly laughing at the whole situation. 

"It's Zayn! Jesus Christ!" I exclaim taking out my phone when I feel it vibrate in my pocket. 

Zayn's picture spread across my screen and mum and dad squished me between them trying to get a look at my phone. I swat them away taking the call only for them to return to my face like flies. 

"Hey" I whisper slightly, pushing dad aside only for him to glue himself back to me. 

"Angel, I'm currently in a sex store and I wanted to ask if you're into cuffs" Freaking out I immediately ended the call as dad and mum stared at me with open mouths. I pull myself out of the couch clearing my throat and scratching a spot on my neck with a chuckle. 

"Dempapi and cuffs I see" Mum says, her eyes literally twitching. 

"Yea I'll be in my room" I started running up the stairs leading to the hallway to my room.

"Diana Ruby James!"
