Cynthia knew what she had to do. Instead of telling Andi she left the room and grabbed Apollo. “We’re going to go ahead and leave. Sorry it seems you maybe beyond help for your first date Andi. See you in class tomorrow.”
Andi looked at their retreating backs with her mouth opened in an O. Could she really be beyond help because of her clothing selection? Apollo just knew exactly what Cynthia was thinking. It was better to give a false truth than an outright lie. She had something up her sleeve.
Cleo joined the two sisters. Seeing Andi with her mouth open she lightly touched her chin to close her mouth. Teasing her older sister with a smile she spoke, “You mustn’t leave your mouth open unless you want flies to make a home in there.”
The audible sound of Andi swallowing and wetting her mouth was funny to the two of them. Yet, Andi had her thoughts on what she could do to make Jace look at her as something more than the Queen Bitch on campus. Only one idea woul
Once Cynthia was inside her house. She called an emergency sorority meeting. She was president of their house. Others seemed to think she was wishy-washy but in fact she was the most considerate and kind president on Greek row. The ladies in this house were all open minded and in some aspect free spirits. They all had different majors but they all wanted what’s was best for womankind.“Ladies, I need your help. It’s a bit of an emergency.”The members all joined her in the dining hall. It was where they did their discussions for the week. Each lady took their perspective seat and looked to Cynthia as they waited for her to speak.“Sisters, I need your help. It’s my cousin Andi.”They other girls turned to each other and gasp. They never spoke a word to her but they all knew the rumors surrounding her. One member spoke up since the others weren’t sure what Andi could have done. “Is this because of the rumors she is going out with Jace?”“Oh good. You heard
Both Cleo and Lakeisha looked at each other, Andi was in no shape to look into anyone’s future. Sensing what her sisters were going to say to her she decided to cut them off. “Like I said before. I’ll be fine. It won’t take me long.” She got ready, avoiding looking at herself in the mirror. She didn’t want to see how ghastly she looked. It was still cool enough to wear a hoodie in the morning. Andi didn’t put on a shirt just her hoodie and black leggings. Her boots were by the front door. Cleo and Lakiesha had gone back to bed. She knocked on both of their doors. “I’m leaving. Be back soon.” Andi opened the door and locked it. She hurried over to Greek row. Cynthia’s sorority was one she liked visiting. They were forward thinking women. She had hoped that the none of their futures would be bleak. It was nearly eight am when she got there. Just as she was about to knock on the door. Cynthia opened it. She clapped her hands together. It was weird to see her so early in
Andi begrudgingly woke up at the insistence of Cynthia. She waved her hand hoping to smack her for doing this. “I’m up. I’m up.” She sat up in the bed, sleep still in her eyes. She rubbed her hand over her face and blinked several times. It was when she looked around the room to see where the girl was that she noticed the clothing on the bed. “What’s this? Are you going out?” Cynthia smiled at her then grabbed her hands pulling her up. “No, but you are.” Once Andi was standing Cynthia placed her hands together and pleaded for forgiveness. “Don’t kill me but I knew you wanted to look amazing for your first date and the sisters and I thought we would help you look less RAWR…” She moved her hands in a cat like motion. “And more MMM.” She placed her hand by her chin. “Are you mad?” Andi couldn’t think long enough. “Yes, but I appreciate the gesture. I just wished you had told me because I had planned on going shopping today.” She sighed out of frustration. “Ah damn it. I
Jace waited for her to leave before he got up out of the bed. He didn’t want her to see him in his boxer shorts. That was the only way he could sleep. His body ran hot even before he made the change. He grabbed his phone and tried to call her. He mumbled to himself. “I could have just sent this in a text.” He tilted his head scratching near his ear. The call went to voicemail leaving him to send her a message. He wasn’t sure what she could have been doing but it was important that they talked. Jace sent her a message hoping she would call him soon. [Hey need 2 tlk asap] He pulled on his pajama bottoms. Right when he grabbed for a shirt, his senses heightened. The smell of bacon wafted into his room. Corrine may have been annoying to every possible extent but she truly did know him. With his shirt in his hand, he left out of his room. There she was standing in his kitchen next to the stove, an apron tied around her waist. If he were remotely attracted to her, he would have sn
“I see. That’s a shame but I understand. We had already started getting her beyond perfect for you. In case you were wondering.”He thought about what she could possibly be wearing that would make her perfect for him. “Can I talk to her?”“Sure but she cant hold the phone. Would you be fine if we put it on speaker? I mean every girl in here will be able to hear you.”Just then he heard a small argument on the other end of the line. He wasn’t sure what was going on over there but then he heard her voice, her voice that made him want to be with her. “Hey! Ignore her. She’s just annoying.”He could feel his heartbeat racing in his chest. “You shouldn’t be mean to family.”“So, haven’t you heard? I’m a fortune teller? A gypsy? A shaman.”He chuckled earing her call herself a fortune teller. He had heard the rumors but chose to ignore them.
He knew what she was going to say before she even said the words. “Mom, if Corrine wanted me to join her, she wouldn’t have left me behind.”She raised her left eyebrow and folded her arms over her chest. “Jace, we will talk about this after the wedding.”“Yeah, mom afterwards.” He already had his plan to be gone before that even happened.She grabbed him by the arm and made him escort her inside. The two of them walked in the doors to see the rest of their pack standing around waiting for the ceremony to get underway. When they see their Luna coming in, with the future alpha they all greeted them with a smile. Jace tried to shy away from them. But one member clapped him on the back and grabbed his hand in a handshake. Ileana spoke in the soft tone she always did. “The ceremony will be starting we should shed our human façade now and be the wolves we are meant to be.”Jace kissed her on the chee
Jace had stayed long enough to see his sister get married. The guy wasn’t bad per say but not someone he would have wanted her to be with. The reception was underway with everyone dancing. Corrine stood off to the side watching as the others enjoyed themselves. Jace watched her, watching others and realized he should try to make amends.He walked over to her and bumped into her shoulder. “You still mad at me?”She tried to ignore him but he wouldn’t allow that to happen. He kept nudging her until she as angry enough to snap at him, “Stop you dummy.”“I got you to say something to me so who’s the dummy now?”“Still you.”He turned to face her and held out his hand. “Would you like to dance?”Corrine looked down at his hand then to his face. She sighed; she really couldn’t resist him. “Fine but you really should think about what you’re doing to me.&
Andi rolled her eyes at how Cynthia contradicted herself. Jace held his arm out for her to grasp. She was hesitant to loop her arm in his, instead she opted to walk next to him. Jace couldn’t help but to tease her. “You too good to hold my arm?”“No, I never gave you the impression that I liked you the way the other girls do.”He nodded his head and gave her a winning smile. “You say that now but I’ll make you so in love with me that you will want to touch me every chance that you get.”She raised her left eyebrow at him wondering where he got all that confidence from. “You certainly have a big head. Shouldn’t you focus your attention on the many women that want you already?”“If I wanted them, I would be out on a date with them and not you.”She turned away from him trying to hide the smile creeping onto her face. “I could have sworn I told you before flattery will
