Obsession: The Lycan King's Human Mate

It was twenty-three minutes past seven. The time when Xavier would come to her house and they walk to the bus stop together. It was their daily routine. He would pick her up and they would walk together to the bus stop. She would often lay her head on his shoulder throughout the entire ride.

She could hear the clatter of dishes, her father was washing the dishes from their breakfast and she was watching the clock hand tick.

Tick.

Tick.

It reached 6.

Tick tick.

It's reached 8.

Tick and tick and tick. It seems to move at an amazingly well speed that it didn't in maths period.

Twenty four.

It was Seven twenty-four am. One minute till he came to get her.

The one who saw her naked. And he whistled. 

God. God. God. God. She closed her eyes forcefully and grimaced. Why did it have to happen?! 

Why can't she falls sick or hurt herself this once? When she needs it the most?

She still remembered what had happened. As she bent, he whistled and she turned. She turned and he practically saw everything till she dropped down and crawled away.

Crap.

Shit.

Fuck.

Why couldn't she die?!?!?

The bell rang and her heart stilled. 

She turned to the clock again. It was seven twenty-five. He was right on time. He was always on time. But why today? He could let her die in mortification!

"Bye kid," Jason said as he heard the bell making her jump. She had forgotten about him. 

"Y—yeah," shakily she nodded back. "Bye." Picking up her bag, she walked to the door and stood in front of it. She didn't open it, she didn't have the courage to.

To be honest, she had to face him anyway. If she made an excuse here then he would see her at school.

Weren't they in a relationship? They were going they physical at one point.

Taking in a deep breath, she opened the door. What's the worse that could happen after last night?

"Hi!" She greeted him with a smile on her face. Forget about last night. Nothing happened, she chanted in her mind. Act as nothing happened and that's the key. 

"Hello, you ready to go?" He asked with his smile. Had he decided that too?

Nodding, she closed the door and walked with him. He had not hugged her today which she didn't like but also, after what had happened last night she was happy that he didn't. She liked her own space. 

They silently walked to the bus stop like they daily did. Sitting on the benches, they waited for the bus to arrive.

"Hey," he bumped her shoulder with his making her smile. "I wanted to talk."

Adeline closed her eyes.

Why? Why? Why? Why,? She chanted in her mind. The morning had been perfect and awkward and she was a file with that. 

"Adeline, hey," he turned her face towards him by holding her chin delicately. 

"Please don't ignore me." He pleaded and his eyes seemed sincere. 

"I'm not ignoring you. I'm just ignoring what happened last night." She admitted and looked away, finding it too much to look into his eyes. The embarrassment she felt was too much. 

He huffed and shook his head. "And we can't do that,"

"Why not?" She scoffed at him and glaring at him. "We can just forget it."

She looked like a mere kitten to his mighty Lycan self. "That's wrong Adeline. We can move on but we can't forget." He rubbed her arm to offer some comfort. "Maybe one day we can laugh about it but for now, we must address the elephant in the room."

"Do we have to?" She groaned and stomped her foot on the pavement.

"Yes. I saw you naked and if I could go back and change things then I would. I am sorry." He rubbed her shoulders to provide her with some comfort. 

"It's not your fault. I shouldn't have been naked anyways." She admitted looking guilty. She should have been more careful because instead of him it could have been anyone else too. "But, the hell you whistled for?" she hit him for that. A punch on the arm with all the strength she had. 

"Hey, I am a guy in the end." He defended raising his hands in surrender. "Would it help if I got naked?" He smirked at her making her blush and look away. The suggestive look in his eyes didn't help at all. 

"Shut up!" She whined and turned away. Where was the bus!?

They looked as the bus arrived and stood up. He held out his hand for her and she took it with a small shy smile on her lips making him smile as well. They had moved past it.

It happened.

And it might be forgotten one day and hopefully be laughed at too.

"So I guess you are sitting with your friends at lunch?" He asked looking at her with a blank face. His beast wanted to be with her but watching from afar would work too. 

"Yeah. It's the weekend anyway and I'll tell you about this." She informed him, leaning in to kiss his cheek. "Don't worry. From Monday we'll stick to the plan."

"I am not happy with it but I got a kiss." He grumbled making her laugh a bit. Leaning again towards him she kissed him on the lips.

********

It was maths again.

And now the stupid clock was not ticking unlike it did in the morning. 

And Xavier was not here to play with her hair. All in all, she was irritated. She wanted to be next to him. She craved his touch on her. 

"hey," Elizabeth whispered. She was sitting behind Adeline. "What's Popping?"

"Don't mind me just watching," Adeline whispered the line back.

A snort came from Elizabeth's mouth and she quickly placed her hand over it.

"Miss Jackson," The teacher called, "something funny?" She titled her head and if possible, she would have shot a laser from her eyes. 

"No ma'am," Elizabeth denied. "I just find the answer way simpler than I thought. Like how you derived the value of X from the equation an— "

"Don't make noises in class. If not you, the others are studying." She glared down at Elizabeth, the latter nodded and looked down at her notebook. 

Liar came to Adeline's mind. No one was awake, to begin with. They were all heavily asleep and if not, then they were about to. Everyone's head was on the verge of falling. No offence, but the teacher did not even try to make the subject interesting. 

The bell rang after some time and it was a free period as the teacher was on a leave. She went to the library just to enjoy some peace.

Taking out Jane Eyre, she began to read it again. These moments were silent and no one in the library ever came to talk. The others made out at the very back. 

"Hey," she heard. 

Turning her head to the side she saw Pairs. The creepy Paris. Adeline wanted to get up and leave but she knew that it would be rude. 

So, not wanting to be rude she nodded back and started reading again. But that was not enough for Paris. She had taken that as an opportunity and took her bag, got up and placed it on Adeline's table and sat next to her.

Adeline didn't react. Weird as hell it was that now she was staring at her, she ignored and continued to read her book.

"What are your plans?" Paris asked her still staring. Her stare never wavered and Adeline wanted to desperately leave. 

That was a normal question so she chose to answer. "Ivy League and I have two to three courses chosen out but I'm not sure yet." She revealed finding nothing out of the blue for this question. 

"That's very good," Paris nodded smiling and for a small second, she seemed normal.

"Thanks yo—"

"Too bad that you won't be getting out of here for that." She said in a sickly, tape recorder voice. 

"Excuse me?" She turned to Paris wide-eyed at the strange remark. What did that mean? 

"Ivy League is out of the picture, darling. You might just end up with kids at home or if you are determined enough then you might make it to community college." She giggled with a snort. "What a pity that would be." She shook her head, her taunts didn't stop. 

"What's wrong with you!" Adeline angrily whispered. "Are you even aware of what you are saying to begin with?"

"You need to think about what I am saying," in the same angry tone of Adeline, Paris whispered back. "I talk about the guy you are dating. That's a trap, Adeline. Leave and be free or you will be trapped forever." Looking in her eyes as she said so, Paris picked up her nag and walked out of the library while Adeline sat with a book in her hand and watched her walk away.
