Colton POV
"I, CAN'T, TALK TO HER!!"
(What is wrong with me!?)
This is the first time I can't have a proper conversation with a female.
(It shouldn't be that hard. Just lift up your head, smile, and just say "Hi" or "Good morning" when I see her in the mornings.)
I lie here on my bed, looking up at my ceiling with my arm across my eyes.
'You are stupid. What kind of Alpha are you?!' Lucien yells.
"What? Are you serious right now? Do you even remember the little fiasco you created yesterday at school in the lunchroom?" I ask him in a low tone.
Lucien doesn't say anything.
"Cause I remember you asking me for full control, and saying to me, and I quote "stop being a p***y and talk to the girl, I could talk to her without any problems." So I gave you full control as you wanted, and what happened next, hu?" I ask.
No answer.
"Oh, you don't remember now? Cause I remember, you, us, getting up from our lunch table and going in the direction of May's table but then, you f*****g panicked and diverted us, sitting right next to Amanda and f*****g putting your arm around her... why, why in the world did you do that?!"
No answer.
"Do you know all the damage control I had to do yesterday? Amanda and Bianca got into a fight in the middle of P.E. because of what you did."
No answer.
I sigh heavily.
All week I sit next to her, and I can't manage to say a single hello or even give her a smile.
Even tonight when I left their house, I had the chance to properly say a goodbye to her and I f****d it up. I said goodbye to Matt and just turned around without even glancing at her and walked off.
I start thinking about tonight and how she likes horror movies? She wasn't even flinching but I was jumping all over the place, especially when Megan would squeal. That girl almost gave me a heart attack.
Then I remember May’s laugh, it's like music to my ears and her wolf, even in wolf form she's beautiful. Fur as black as night, making her amber eyes look even brighter. I couldn't stop staring.
Lucien asked for control when we were at the river but I didn't give it to him, he was too eager and I felt that he was going to do something stupid and scare her. I mean, it doesn't take a scientist to know the girl is already scared of me.
I start to doze off and end up falling asleep thinking about her.
The next day, I arrive at school. I can see Matt and Megan together walking inside hand in hand.
I get out and groan when I see Amanda leaning on a wall near the school entrance. I cringe internally and curse at Lucien. She gives me a big eager smile and all I can do is nod at her and keep walking.
I head to the classroom and see May already in her seat wearing a purple crop top with an unzipped black jacket, tight jeans with skater shoes, and her hair down. I almost purr like a f*****g cat when I see her. I take a seat behind her.
I can smell her from here, she smells like strawberries. All Lucien wants to do is rub himself all over her. I feel like I'm in a trance. Without thinking I tap her shoulder.
'What the f**k did I just do!?' I say to Lucien in a panic quickly removing my hand.
But it's too late. She turns around looking startled. I just stare with nothing in my head. Her eyes are wide, waiting for me to say something.
She usually lowers her eyes, but this time she's too stunned that she is looking right into my eyes. And here I am, speechless with a big fat blank inside my head.
'You stupid i***t!' Lucien yells at me. 'Say something, ANYTHING!'
"Horror!" I spit out.
She blinks a few times. "What?" She asks confused.
"I, ah, ...you like, horror movies?" I ask looking dumb as hell.
"......." She just nods.
"Cool." I say sounding not cool at all.
She blinks a few more times and then turns around.
'Smooth.' Lucien says sarcastically.
'Hey, at least I tried.' I say to him.
'Yea but it was pathetic'
'How about you come out and do better.' I say to him feeling irritated.
He doesn't respond.
'That's what I thought.' I say satisfied.
The rest of the day goes by without me making a fool out of myself.
I'm sitting in my last class, chem, and an idea pops into my head.
(It's perfect.) If I can manage to say a word to her.
I'm biting my pencil and bouncing my legs up and down looking at the clock. We have five minutes left. Once the class is over, she bolts out like she always does.
I take a deep breath. (Ok, here I go.)
I'm sitting next to her, so I lean over a bit.
"Hey do you understand anything from today's math problem in the first period because I don't understand anything and I was thinking that maybe you could help me with it?" I say to her without a single pause or even breathing in between my words.
Lucien sighs. 'This is painful to watch.'
She looks at me like a deer caught in the headlights.
'Should I repeat it again?' I ask Lucien
'NO!' He quickly yells.
Finally, I see her nodding her head.
"Yea?" She says, or is that more like a question?
"Okay cool, I'll come by tomorrow." I say and she turns back to class looking a little pail.
'I'm pretty sure she doesn't understand what just happened.' Lucien says
'Does it matter? We have a study date... though I don't think she knows that.' I say to Lucien.
Class is finally over and like always, she bolts out.
I'm driving home proud that I finally managed to somehow talk to her, even if I made a fool of myself. I'm excited about the study date tomorrow.
(Hopefully, Matt won't be there so that I can have her all to myself.)
'Pfh! And what the hell are you gonna do? Not talk to her, not look at her?' Lucien says trying to make fun of me.
'Shut up! It's called baby steps.' I tell him.
'Whatever.' He says.
Now my brain is working overtime thinking on a way to get her to come to the lake today. I turned eighteenth a week and a half ago but my mom wants to celebrate my birthday today. She wants to have a BBQ at the cabin lake with close family and friends.
I agreed, as long as I get to have a house party tomorrow night at one of our vacant houses, since we can't do it in the packhouse.
I get home and go to the kitchen. I see my mom talking to another pack member. I look at her and I sigh, I don't see any other way. She's the one that planed the whole BBQ thing. Hopefully, she won't ask too many questions.
I take a deep breath and walk towards her. She looks at me smiling and I give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey sweetheart, how was school?" She asks.
"It was fine." I say.
"You want to talk to me about something, don't you?" She asks. She knows me too well.
"Yea, it's just, I was thinking that maybe you could ask... or rather convince Matt to bring his sister today to the lake." I say looking down.
My mom stares at me confused and I panic.
"It's just that she doesn't like to get out and I thought since she's part of the pack she needs to mingle a bit more and you know since I'm gonna be the Alpha I feel it's my responsibility and-"
My mom puts a hand up and stops me from ranting.
'You did it again.' Lucien says.
's**t!'
I look at her and her eyebrows are bunched up.
"What is this abo-" She stops before finishing and an eyebrow lifts.
Then she gasps with her hand on her mouth.
(f**k!... She definitely knows.)
All I can do is stare at her with probably the stupidest expression ever.
She looks at me and composes herself, smoothing the wrinkles of her clothes with a blank expression on her face, and then breaths in.
"Don't you worry your pretty little head, sweetheart. She'll definitely be there." She says with an innocent smile.
I'm actually a little worried about the way she said that now.
'Mom can be scary sometimes.' Lucien says with both of us getting chills.
--------------------
I don't know how my mother got her here, but she did. May got here with Matt half an hour ago. But I'm starting to think that making May come to the BBQ was a bad idea. She looks pissed.
I'm getting ready to go for a swim with Matt. Jason, Brandon, and my dad are already swimming. Jason's dad is manning the grill while our moms have May surrounded, trying to make conversation. I can see May is trying to be polite but she doesn't look happy.
Matt and I catch up to Brandon in the water and they start talking about Megan. I look at May and I can see she has a bathing suit underneath her clothes. She has short pants and I can see the red bathing suit through her white tank top.
(Will she take her clothes off later?) I ask myself. Lucien perks up at the thought.
My mind was about to start to wander off when I see another car park near the cabin. It's Jackson and his mate. Matt and May's mom.
Matt sighs. "My parents are here." He says not looking very happy.
"You don't sound happy." I say.
He sighs again. "My mom and my sister don't get along."
"Actually, is more like my mom... " He starts to say but doesn't finish.
"Never mind." He says and Brandon sneers.
I give him a warning look and he quickly looks away.
I look back at May and she's already away from the crowd sitting on the edge of the dock with her feet in the water.
Now I feel bad for making her come, she probably feels uncomfortable. Jackson approaches her, gives her a hug, and starts talking with her.
I decide to do a few laps and then Brandon and I end up competing. Of course, I win and I'm about to rub it in his face but I stop when I notice Jason talking with May. He has a grin that goes from ear to ear and giving her these seductive flirtatious looks. And she's eating it all up! She's giggling at whatever the hell he's saying to her.
I am pissed. I'm starting to see red. Goddess help me because I'm about to do something stupid. I start swimming towards them but then I see Megan going towards May so I stop. She must have gotten here when we were swimming. She sits next to May, and Matt and Jason swim off. I start to relax a little, but I'm still pissed.
My mouth drops from what I see and all my anger disappears instantly. I see the girls take their clothes off. May, in a red bikini. My mouth goes dry. I close my eyes and bite my lower lip trying to think of something else, but It's no use, I already have a hard-on.
(s**t!)
She gets in the water with Megan and they start swimming.
With the image of her in my head, I start fantasizing, getting her out of the water, pinning her against a tree, me ripping her bathing suit off, touching every single part of her body, and tasting her. Every single inch of her. My face between her legs licking her and sucking on her. Drinking all her juices and making her reach an o****m until she screams my name in ecstasy. Now that would be the best birthday gift ever.
(Goddess I need to have her!)
"FOOD'S ALMOST READY!!" Jason's dad yells.
(s**t! That was a bad idea. I can't get out of the water like this.)
Everybody starts swimming to the edge. I breathe in and I start to think.
I scrunch my face and can't believe what I'm about to do. I sigh heavily and start to think of the old lunch lady. Yep, the lunch lady in all her naked glory, not that I have ever seen her naked, but I can just imagine it.
I gag.
"Oh goddess, I'm about to throw up." I manage to hold it in.
"Yep, that did the trick." I sight
I get out of the water and look down just to make sure, my pants are completely flat.
I sigh again. It's incredible what this girl can do to me within seconds.
'Yea that lunch lady has a gift.' Lucien says knowing fully well that I was referring to May.
I gag and hold my stomach.
"Mother f-" I breathe in.
'I'd punch you in the face if I could.' I say and he laughs.
Throughout the rest of the evening, Lucien kept making me remember the lunch lady. I ended up throwing up at the end.
Happy birthday to me!
