MY P.O.V
~~~
What. Just. Happened?
I was standing there in a daze. A lot as running through my mind and I could hardly understand most of it. That look in her eyes. The flash of red. Carly was the cold red eyes.
HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THAT?!
You're just that stupid.
Well, gee, thanks. That makes me feel good about myself.
I know.
I rolled my eyes and then remembered Amby was in that forest alone with Carly. I ran to her. Her paw was bleeding a lot and she had a deep gash in her muzzle.
WAIT A SECOND! MUZZLE?!
I rubbed my eyes and then looked more closely at Amby.
HOLY CRAPPLES! AMBY'S A WOLF?!
I really don't fit in here.
I pushed that thought aside. I would deal with it later, right now Amby's hurt and I'm gonna help her get better.
I racked my brain for something that could be useful. I then remembered that I still had that bag with all the stuff in it.
I rummaged through it and finally found what I was looking for. I pulled out a shirt and then ripped a part off it. I then took Amby's paw and wrapped the cloth around it. Ryan was mending to her muzzle, trying to stop the bleeding. I ripped off more of the shirt and handed it to him.
"Put pressure on the wound and keep it there until we get back to Kage and Jazzy." I told him. He nodded and did what I said.
Suddenly, we disappeared and reappeared at home.
Whoa. How did that happen?
"It wasn't me." Aidan said.
"Or me." Ryan said.
"Then..." They looked at me with a look.
"What?" I asked. They just kept staring at me, then looking at each other, then staring at me again. It was rather irritating if you ask me.
"Jess!" Kage and Jazzy yelled. They both hugged me and I told them what had happened to Amby. They immediately started tending to Amby. After all her cuts were cleaned and the bug gash on her muzzle was stitched up, Jazzy took her upstairs to change into her human form again.
They both came back downstairs and Amby looked back to normal. It didn't even look like she was hurt. I, on the other hand, felt like shit.
Again.
For the last couple of days, I haven't gotten much sleep. Two hours at the most.
I dragged my feet up to my room and took a shower. I scrubbed my body until it was red, after a while, that perfume got really strong. I finished up my shower in about 45 minutes. I wrapped my bath robe around my body and blow dried my hair quickly then I walked out of my bathroom and went to change.
I changed into a pair of dark blue basket ball shorts and I rummaged through the bag of clothes that I had packed before I left and put clothes and other things away, while I looked for my favorite black tank top.
"Ugh. Where is it?" I muttered to myself.
"First the skirt and now this. Wow. Looks like I'm getting more and more lucky today." I heard somebody say from behind me.
I turned around quickly and saw Aidan looking down at me.
~~~
AIDAN'S P.O.V
~~~
I figured I should talk to Jess so I thought of what I would say in my head.
Ugh. I'm never gonna think of anything. I'll just say whatever comes to mind first... Yea, that should work.
I walked up to her room, took a deep breath, let it out and walked in.
I never did think of the possibilities that I might walk into. Okay, so maybe I did and maybe I was hoping that I would walk in on her- Whoa.
I saw her looking through a bag, putting stuff away occasionally but get this, she was just wearing dark blue basket ball shorts and her black bra.
It really is my lucky day.
"Ugh. Where is it?" I heard her mutter to herself.
Before I knew what I was doing, I was behind her.
"First the skirt and now this. Wow. Looks like I'm getting more and more lucky today." I heard myself say.
Did I really just say that?
She turned around, quickly and looked up at me. I saw a pink tint on her cheeks and she looked down.
I crouched down in front of her and lifted her face up with my finger. She looked at me curiously.
I leaned towards her and settled my lips on hers.
~~~
RYAN'S P.O.V
~~~
"Yes, Ryan. For the last time, I'm okay." Amby said for the fifth time. I couldn't help but feel guilty. I mean, all I did was stand there and watch. I really wanted to do something, I wanted to protect her and when I saw Carly hurt Amby I was furious.
I wanted nothing but to rip out Carly's throat and help Amby but I couldn't. Amby had to fight for herself, sure I knew she could. I've seen her fight before. She was great at it, possibly better then me but I couldn't just stand there.
"Are you positively sure?" I asked for the sixth time. I knew she was getting irritated by me asking this over and over again but I had to keep making sure. I couldn't lose her and even though all her wounds were healed, I was still worried.
She silenced my constant asking with a kiss and I immediately kissed back.
But, really. Who wouldn't?
~~~
MY P.O.V
~~~
Aidan had my arms pinned up to the wall I was pressed up against me. The kiss got more fierce by every second that passed. I pulled away for a breather and he attacked my neck with his lips.
My head dipped back and I held back the moan that was building up in my throat while he kept kissing my soft spot.
Soon, his kisses got lower and lower.
Wait. No. I'm not ready. Make him stop.
You know you want this. Don't stop him.
I let out a little whimper when he got too low but he ignored it and continued kissing me.
Suddenly, my phone started belting out the lyrics to 'Money Honey' by 'Lady Gaga'. I was thankful that Jack picked now to call. I knew that this was only his ring tune because he picked it out himself.
I took this as an excuse to pull away from Aidan, so I struggled out of his grip, grabbed my phone and ran for the bathroom.
'SEXY BEAST' flashed on my phone's screen. Jack was the one who put in his number and name and he also did a lot to my phone, including borrowing it for a day trying to hook-up with my friends. He was way too full of himself.
"You have no idea how happy I am that you picked now to call." I said, when I answered the phone. "Not that I hate when you call usually, it's just that... Something almost happened." I finished.
"What happened?" He asked, concerned.
Jack was usually there for me. Like a big brother. So I told him everything that happened in the last two days up until now.
"YOU RAN AWAY?!" He yelled.
I sighed.
Leave it to him to forget that I almost did it when I wasn't ready.
~~~
AIDAN'S P.O.V
~~~
I can't believe I didn't stop. She whimpered, I heard it, and I ignored it?! How much more stupid can I get?! I should've listened to her, but no. You decide to fight back and win causing me to almost force her!
Since when did a little whimper stop you. Besides, we all know you wouldn't have minded forcing her.
Yes, I would have!
Sure, you would.
