A content smile paints my face when I feel arms wrap around my waist.

" Now this is a perfect morning for me." He says in my ear, his breath brushing against my ear.

" A perfect morning huh?" I ask, looking at him through the mirror.

" You're the first person I woke up to this morning, it's good enough for me."

My face warms up when last night comes into mind. My eyes drop to my feet and I bite on my bottom lip, holding back from saying something until I figure out a way to word things properly. I don't want to sound weird.

" Muffin?"

" Hmm?" I answer, not budging.

" I have something I want to tell you."

That calls for my attention. My eyes rise to the mirror and I look at him expectantly.

This doesn't satisfy him and so, he tilts my head in a way our eyes meet.

" Now I've got your attention." He mumbles, eyes fleeting down to my lips briefly before he looks into my eyes again.

And I thought he had something on his mind.

" What have you been thinking about?"

    " Casey?!" I continue walking, ignoring him.He doesn't stop following me as I head for the stairs." Casey-wait!" He grabs a hold of my arm, stopping me on the first step.I quickly pull back and say, " finish that call and then take me home." " W-what? No." He shakes his head, looking a little panicked. " Casey listen to me-------"" I don't want to be where I am not wanted Ethan!" I cry out, my emotions getting the best of me.Tears won't stop falling and it makes me feel more upset. I feel like a cry baby too which does t help how I feel." What are you talking about? Ofcourse you're wanted, I want you. Baby come on, I want you here. That's the whole reason I even suggested we spend time together this weekend, I want(he lets out a breath), Casey, I'm here because of you and no one else." I'm already shaking my head, " I don't believe you." He stumbles back, being startled by my response." How can you not believe that I----" " No, I can't believe I've given you so much room,

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   21: Strange, very strange.

    IN THE LAND OF THE BLACK SHADOW PACK....She had looked at him with different eyes than the ones he had gotten used to.He'd started to ease into her welcoming and familiar gaze, but not this. Again, she became guarded. He could feel the non-existing wall building on top of the one that had already been there. That clearly bothered him and he couldn't deny it.Thankfully, none of those around him that noticed, mentioned anything. It hung dry in the air.When he'd introduced her as a friend to his father, he'd realised after some time that he meant it. In the beginning, it had come as a surprise to both of them but it didn't feel out of place. Time had been short, he hadn't known her for long and yet, being around her felt like he was meant to be in her presence. The heir of the Black Shadow Pack, who had faced some of the worst experiences known in their world, was bothered so much by the way a new comer in town had looked at him. It should have not lingered in mind and marinate itse

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   20: You've got me.

    ' Am I just unlucky?' " Casey?" I flinch in surprise when a hand makes contact with my shoulder.The many thoughts that had crowded my head, have now ceased.I look up behind me and meet Ethan's concerned eyes. " Call your mom back baby. I'll walk out officer James." He says, with my phone in hand.Mom called and I didn't even hear it? Where is my head right now?" Okay." I take it and start scrolling through it." Hey?" I look at him again. " Would you like me to take you home instead? Maybe you want us to call off------" I shake my head no, " I want to stay here with you." Despite the turnout from tonight, my weekend plans with Ethan remain the same." Okay," he kisses my forehead. " I'll be right back." He says against my skin." Hmm." I nod, watching him leave until he disappears from view.I take a moment to prepare myself, for the call I'm about to make.When I'm ready, I press the call button. On the third ring, she answers.The conversation with my mother is not long. From

  • GRIPPED UPON SECRET.   19: You can trust me.

    "I can't believe you wanted to take her to your place," A male voice says in amazement.Whoever that might be, sounds familiar to me."Saving her life, that's all I thought about. Location was the last thing on my mind." Another person responds, male and again familiar.Two people are present in the room with me, possibly on either side of me. Their voices come from each side, confirming what I'm thinking.There is back and forth forty talk happening. I can't open my eyes at this very moment but my ears catch on to the words shared between the two people." It would have upset him." ".....""You, taking charge like that, knowing that it concerns...." "I know....' Silence. ' And I wouldn't have blamed him."" But you would have gone ahead with it anyway, wouldn't you?" " ......"" As your friend, I need to tell you when to take a step back." I hear a warning in there. " And you're telling me now?" " I am." A moment of silence passes as I come to the realisation of who, is in the

    "Is there a problem here?" Ethan! His voice breaks through the iced tension that we are all captured in. "Not at all." The answer comes from the guy who had troubled me. I see the veins visible on the guy's neck, his posture much more tense as he glares down at Ethan's necklace. It's different, unfamiliar to me. " We were only passing by." A cold shiver runs through my spine when he passes a look my way for a moment. I want to go to Ethan but I decide to remain in place. I feel like I shouldn't, not right now. I let out a sigh of relief when the green eyed stranger with his friends, walk past. I feel Alan's hand gently push me more behind him, when that guy attempts to walk a little too close to me. We all stand in place, not moving for some time until they have gone. With the coast clear, I step out from behind Alan and turn to Ethan. His eyes are already on me. An unreadable emotion passes through his eyes, his face all serious as he stands there watching. Something tw
