So there's this problem with my review thing and I'm not getting all of them so I didn't think that you guys wanted this chapter so it came out late. I'm sorry to those of you that reviewed.
"I want each of you on a side and only move when I tell you to. I'm sure you know the rules so I'm not going to blather on about them," Christian said, smiling at Kaylee and me.
"We've got it and I'm sure Simon and Derek have played Twister before. I mean if not it's a relatively simple game, I'm sure they'll catch on," Kaylee said.
He nodded and we got into the game. I'm not going to bore you with all the details so let's just say I was bent over Kaylee's stomach with Simon's face right next to mine. Derek was the most awkward of us all and he was right over me with his mouth about seven inches above my neck.
"Right foot yellow," Christian said with a laugh.
He knew how Kaylee and I played so this time I moved and she did, accidentally knocking Simon's hand out from underneath him and making him lose his balance and fall. But the funny thing was he took her down with him. This never happened; Kaylee and I were always the last ones standing.
"Oh my God, Kaylee don't fall!" I said overdramatically. "I can't play this game without you helping me out."
"Oh my Gosh, it's actually even now. There's no way that you can cheat without her help, maybe Derek can actually beat you," Riley said with a laugh as Simon and Kaylee sat down.
"Shut up, stupidass," I said, trying to keep my balance as I moved my foot to yellow.
We made some more moves until this time I was on top of Derek and I could feel his breath on my neck again. I felt goosebumps forming all over my body, but I couldn't let him know that. I turned my face away and looked at Kaylee.
"Left hand green," Christian said and the room got silent.
There was only one that was in either of our reach so that meant we were going to have to share it. Now I don't know if you've ever tried to share a circle on a small Twister board with a guy the size of Derek but it's pretty hard. Almost every part of us was touching right now and I had to hold my breath to keep from reacting badly.
I looked up and lost myself in his big green eyes. They were the exact color of grass after it rained, bright and shiny. He didn't break my gaze as we just looked at each other, trying to get the other to break first but neither would.
"You guys! Move to freakin' left hand red!" Matt shouted at us.
I know I was blushing when we moved and got a little bit of distance between us but I could still feel his body pressed against mine. The next move made us just close again except this time he lost his footing and took me down with him.
We fell and he was completely on top of me and I couldn't fight the blush that rose to my cheeks. You'd think I would've pushed him off but I waited for him to move, he just locked eyes with me and slowly rolled off.
I stood up and ran upstairs to my room before any of them could see me start crying. There were just so many emotions swirling through my head it was hard to breathe. I needed to focus in or I was going to do something that I regretted. Like, ya know, raise the dead.
"Hey it's me, can I come it?" I heard Kaylee ask quietly from outside my door. "Oh and it's Matt too. He wouldn't let me go alone."
I couldn't help but smile; I loved my best friends so much. They could always make me feel better about anything.
"Hey babe, what's wrong? Riley said it was because you lost, but I don't think that's it," Kaylee said, sitting beside me and taking my hands in hers.
"No, I love Liam you know that, he knows that, everyone knows that. Then Derek comes in and all of these feelings that I had for him just come barreling back at me and I wasn't prepared for them to hit," I said, crying a little bit harder.
"Oh Chloe, I know how you feel, trust me. It was like that with Michael and I before we broke up, I loved him but I didn't stand a chance when he had feelings for someone else, especially when he loved the other person," Matt said, squeezing my knee.
I nodded and felt my heart hit my knees when there was another knock at my door and I knew it was Liam. I didn't want to talk to him about my still existent feelings for Derek, I knew that would be and insanely awkward conversation.
"I'll get it," Matt said standing up and walking over to the door.
I was wrong, outside it stood Chase. He was the last person I expected to see standing there and I'm pretty sure Matt and Kaylee felt the same way judging by the looks on their faces.
"Liam and Derek are outside and they're getting ready to tear into one another. Christian is trying to calm them down with Riley but I don't think two vampires are going to be able to resolve this problem as well as you could, Chloe," Chase said. That was something that I loved about him, he always got to the point when he talked.
"Oh no, I should've thought about the Were thing and all of their hyper senses, I bet they sensed my every feeling during the game," I said standing up and running down the stairs.
Once I burst out the door I caught sight of a sleek black pelt and knew that Liam had already shifted. When I looked over at Derek I saw that he was fighting his shift, but it was coming on strong. I didn't think twice before I threw myself in the middle of their fight.
"You guys are being stupid, this isn't going to prove anything to me," I shouted above the wind that I knew Chase was trying to control but failing.
"What makes you think this is about you, Chloe?" Derek asked with so much venom in his voice I couldn't hold back my whimper.
That broke Liam he sunk down on his haunches and got ready to pounce on Derek. I screamed at him, "You idiot if you fight him then you can kiss our relationship goodbye. I'm not going to be with someone who doesn't fucking trust me!"
That was something huge, I never used that word. Like ever, even when I was super pissed that word never left my lips. It was just some kind of unspoken vow I made to myself.
Liam must have realized it because he completely froze and looked up at me. I saw him in those dark brown orbs and ran my fingers over his jaw before turning back around to Derek.
"What's your problem with me?" I said quietly but I knew he heard me.
"You're my damn mate, that's my problem."
I hope I get my review thing straightened out.
Review and hopefully I'll get it :)
