They had decorated the gym to look like a tacky Hawaiian forest. They had fake greenery all over the walls, bright streamers, and exotic looking fake flowers. The tables that held the water and punch were lined with fake grass, a DJ was set up at one end with colored laser lights.
Nate had been a bit of an octopus during the date, but I sort of expected it. Kimia hadn’t seemed to need much help with Simon. He appeared to be enjoying spending time with Kimia. There was some chemistry there.
Nate pulled me onto the dance floor, and he was a pretty good dancer. “Having fun, beautiful?” he asked.
“Well, I’m not not having fun,” I teased him. I really don’t want to encourage them, especially after that kiss from Kamron last week. Th
Kimi helped Simon to his door. He looked very tired, but when he tried to kiss Kimi, she let him. She handed him off to his parents at the door, and came back smiling. “That looked like it went well,” I said.Kimi briefly smiled. “He told me that he had fun, and kissed me.” Her face got serious, “I had to tell his parents what happened with the punch. They were worried, and I don’t think Simon will remember kissing me.” Rose reached over to her and grabbed her hand.I took Amanda home next. This is always the worst part of a date with someone I’m not interested in. Either they wait for something I’m not going to give, or they stomp off in a huff. I think Amanda is the waiting kind. There’s hope in her eyes as I walked her to her door.
I never expected to enjoy living in a small town. Hell, there isn’t even a proper hospital here. Don’t get me wrong, I love Boston. I miss it like crazy. Uncle Micky was like a father to me once my own pop went to jail. Not to mention my cousins sure knew how to have fun. Still, after living in Aspen Falls for a month, I couldn’t go back full time. Rose and Kimi are right. Wolves weren’t meant to be cooped up.I followed Kimi’s brown wolf through her family’s trails toward my house. That bitch is a hottie. If I hadn’t set my sights on Rose that first day, I seriously would have considered casing her as a fuck buddy. Still might, if she wasn’t a virgin like her brother. I stayed behind her amazing ass as we ran, and just admired her. I’d never fucked as a wolf before, and I kind of wonder what it’d be like. I guess we’re both vi
Kamron and I waited for a while for Kimia to come back, but she was gone longer than expected. Kamron looked like he had fallen asleep on my lap, and my eyes began to droop as well. Eventually, I nudged him, and woke him up. “We should go inside.” He got up and went to the door.I let us in, and followed him up the stairs. His door was open, and I followed him in. I didn’t want to wait for Kimia alone. He must have noticed because he didn’t change his shape, just jumped onto his bed and gave me a look that was very inviting. I smiled at him, and laid down next to him. I tried to stay awake, I really did, but my eyes closed and my arm was curled around Kamron’s furry body.I woke up to the feel of fur next to me, and Kamron’s distinct smell was surrounding me. I didn’t open my eyes though. I r
I’ve been floating on cloud nine for days. That night I spent with Rose was the best night sleep I’d had in ages. I adored waking up wrapped in her arms, her nose snuggled into my fur. Okay, so I might be a little weird, but we can’t share my bed as humans, yet. I’d caught her alone at the bus stop after school on Tuesday, and my mind drifted to those moments we cuddled.I slid in next to her, and began playing with her hair. I don’t remember when I started doing that, but she has never stopped me. I smirked at her as she looked absorbed with what was on her phone. “What’s the story today?” I asked her.“It’s a rejection novel,” was her simple response.“Rejection?”
I couldn’t believe how nervous I was for Friday. I shouldn’t have been. I kept telling myself that Kamron was still Kamrom, and I had nothing to worry about. Kimia had spent almost all week with Simon either at her house or his. I was starting to miss her.I was sitting at my house Thursday night, playing some classic Nintendo, when my mother finally noticed that I was alone. “Where are the twins?”I shrugged. “Kimi’s with Simon, and it’s looking like they’re turning into a couple. I have no clue where Kam is. Probably at Jeremy’s.”“It’s odd to have you home without them,” she sat down on the couch behind me. I grunted at her. I didn’t want to talk too much about it. I’d been coming ho
“Mallory! Go home!” I shouted as I walked back into my house. Anything to split up the terrible two before I have to endure them for a whole week. Still, I knew I was grinning. The more I kiss Rose, the easier it gets to flirt with her.“Get bent, Kam! Why should I go home?” Mal looked at me from the top of the stairs. Mina was right behind her.“Because you need to pack. Your parents are kicking you out.” True enough. Okay, so I’m a jerk, but they put makeup on me against my will!Mina rolled her eyes at me. “Don’t lie, idiot.”“I’m not lying! I’m serious! I just saw Rose outside, and she told me to tell you to go home and pack!&rdq
The way Simon showed up to the date was a little weird. I couldn’t help but wonder which friend was in need of help. I’m glad he’s a good friend, though. I know that I would drop everything if Kimia needed me. Hell, I’d gone on a date with Nate for her. Still, Simon proved to be an excellent conversationalist. He was charming, funny, and very cute with Kimia.The movie was pretty good. I’m not really into Marvel, but I really didn’t want to see a horror movie. Our town theater is pretty old, and the seats haven’t been updated since the last century. The armrests are stationary, the floor is sticky, and the padding on the seat is pretty thin.“If you’re uncomfortable, my lap is available,” Kamron whispered into my ear about twenty minutes into the movie. I elbowed him,
The week Rose and Mal stayed with us was both heaven and hell. I got to wake up and have breakfast with Rose, spend the afternoons doing homework, gaming, and just hanging out. The hell was because I kept having to let her sleep with Kimi instead of having her curl up with me in my bed.Kimi and Simon started spending more time at our house than his. She didn’t seem to mind, but compared to the previous week, I wondered why he was choosing our house now when his house was perfectly fine last week. I also noticed that Rose wasn’t complaining.All this left me feeling discombobulated. I love my sister, and I want her to be happy, and I love Rose. I want Rose to have her best friend, but I wanted her more to myself this week. I didn’t want to monopolize her, just have more time to just be with her one on on
