Collins Everyone was complimenting the food. I had to agree.. we did a pretty good job. Especially cooking such a huge meal for our first time. We ate and ate until I felt like I might explode. About that time Jenny brought out the two pies she and I had made. As full as I was…. the delicious smells of caramel, chocolate and pecan wafted through the air and straight to my heart. I loved desserts. And my favorite dessert…. pie. My favorite pie of all time? Caramel chocolate pecan pie. Damn that shit was good. So good.. in fact, we made two of those bitches. “Jenny maybe you ought to skip dessert don’t you have a competition coming up?” Her mother said. Jenny froze and the color drained from her face. “Nette.” Dr. Dave admonished his wife. She said it jokingly. But I could tell it bothered Jenny. It embarrassed her.. hell it even embarrassed me. “Oh I was joking Jenny… you have an amazing figure of course you should have a piece of pie.” Annette said. Even with that ‘a

Alan We had finished training for the day and I was beat. We had the day off tomorrow for once, and Emily invited me over to help her and the kids set up the Christmas tree. I agreed immediately. So tonight I was looking forward to a hot shower and some good food .. maybe a little tv and then bed. I was finally sleeping a little better so there was that … When I got back to the pack house I got the food from the chefs in the kitchen and brought it up to my room instead of eating downstairs with everyone else. I didn’t feel like talking or bullshitting. I crammed the food in like I hadn’t eaten in days instead of hours. Then I took the best shower of my life… even though it was like every other shower I’d ever had. I sat down at the small table in my room to look over some beta paperwork and turned on the tv. I found some movie that I’d seen before and left it on as background noise.. then I poured myself a glass of whiskey. Ahh. Relaxation. Was there anything better? I wasn’t g

Collins The day after the insane Thanksgiving dinner… true to her word…Jenny and I went shopping. I had decided that .. just for today I was going to put everything that had happened out of my head and enjoy Christmas shopping and tree decorating. We had stayed at Jenny’s parents for a little while longer after the car ride. But soon after we got back River said he had to go. He did promise everyone he would come back soon though. And he even hugged me goodbye .. whispering he would tell me the story ‘next time’ he saw me. But who knew when that would be. I couldn’t wait to tell someone .. and I knew Breck had questions. But he was just as baffled by what River had told me as I was. He had never heard of it happening either. It was like blasphemy to wolves. He told me he’d always been taught that bitten wolves didn’t have the same powers as normal weres did. That they came out ‘wrong’ somehow. I didn’t know how true that was.. I didn’t think to ask River if he could do everyth

Collins The last few days had been busy. I still hadn’t heard from Alan.. Emily did text me and say she was sorry she missed my call. But I didn’t feel like going in to everything right then as it was the middle of class. So I told her it was fine and I’d talk to her later. Every day I found myself looking more and more forward to dance practice and class to be over with so I could return to our christmasy room and cozy up with a blanket and a book. I always loved reading. And I had tons of my favorite books at home. But for some reason I had decided not to bring any to school. I guess I knew I wouldn’t have much time. But now with Christmas coming up and our room decked out in lights and the fireplace.. it truly looked just like the great room in Harry Potter now.. all I wanted to do was read and watch movies with Jenny. Breck met me outside class just like he always did. We decided on our next time to meet at the park and go run… it was our thing now. Jenny was more and more sus

Collins The holidays were getting closer and the days were going by too quickly. It was my favorite time of year and I wanted to relish in it. Alan and I were still texting. Things were getting better between us… and I was happy about it. I loved our intervals of messaging each other. They were always light and fun and put a smile on my face. No matter how cheeky he was being. Like this morning for instance. ~~~~~~~~~Alan:Sup girl Me:Sup Alan:Hey Colly …Me:Did you just give me a nickname Alan:Seems that way.
