Moonlight

Chapter 7

I opened the cherry blossom scented shampoo and lathered it into my hair before rinsing it and doing the same to the conditioner. I closed my eyes and sighed just thinking about the kiss made me aroused "this is bad" I said aloud turning off the shower. I quickly dried myself off before getting a pair of short denim shorts out and a plain dark blue shirt, I slipped on my comfy denim tomy's and walked over to my dresser and sat down, I blow dried my long brown hair and applied some make up. I grabbed my back pack and my cell, I walked out my room and down the short passage to the stairs and went down to the kitchen. "Morning dad" I greeted as I grabbed the orange juice out the fridge and poured me a glass "morning" said my father "I'm taking you to school are you ready?" he asked. I nodded, finishing the orange juice before putting the glass in the sink "ready" I said walking out to my father's BMW.

"Hey! Ella! Over here!" yelled Alison beckoning me towards her and Olivia. "Hay guys" I greeted "where's Jackson?" I asked Olivia "at a lacrosse meeting" pouted Olivia "who did you go home with yesterday? And can I take you home today or are you going with your 'friend'?" asked Alison curiously "oh, no you can take me home today thanks" I said looking around for something to distract Alison off the subject with. I smirked when I saw the perfect distracter "hey Scott!" I yelled "come here" Scott ran over towards us flustered "hey every one" greeted Scott "Alison just told me that her date for Friday night just let her down so how would you like to go with her instead?" I asked smirking as Alison chocked on her morning coffee "uh yeah I'd love to" said Scott with a huge stuiped grin on his face. I rolled my eyes "great, see you dorks later" I said with a smile before leaving for class "see you later" yelled Alison and Olivia in unison. I walked down the corridor in a little hurry as the bell rang 5 minutes ago thanking my lucky stars that my foot felt a hundred times better. "Hello" said a familiar voice behind me. My cheeks flushed as images of the last time we were together flashed through my mind. "What brings you here?" I asked turning around "you" he said smirking "well I'm really late for class, I have to go-" Derek cut me off with a kiss that set my insides alight "I really have to go" I said pushing my hands flat against his chest "okay, but let me take you home this afternoon" he whispered in my ear "you can't, Alison is already suspicious, let me meet you somewhere?" I asked "meet me outside tonight, outside your house" he said "I can't sneak out" I whispered indicating towards my foot "wait for me in your room, make sure your door is locked" he whispered in my ear again making my ear tingle.

The classes passed by in a blur and the next thing I knew I was walking towards Alison's car "hop in" said Alison opening the passenger door. "Thanks for the ride cuz" I said giving her an awkward hug before getting out the car and heading up the coble path way. I dropped the back pack by the entrance of my door before heading over to the French doors and opening them I sighed as the cool breeze swept over my hot face.

"Dessert was great, thanks dad. I think I'm gona turn in early tonight I have a long day tomorrow" I yelled as I made my way up the cherry wood stairs. I locked the door and quickly showered; I slipped into a comfy black sweater and brushed my wet hair out. There was a soft rustle outside before Derek walked through my balcony door looking as if he does this every day "you came" I said getting up from my dressing tables bench and slowly walked over to him "of course, I was the one who suggested it" aid Derek walking towards me slowly too. "if we get caught…" I whispered still walking slowly towards him "I can hear everything that's happening down stairs, we won't get caught" whispered Derek inches from my lips "good" I replied running my hands up his muscled chest before cupping his face and pulling him down towards me. Our lips met and we instantly gave into the familiar passionate rhythm. He picked me up and laid me on the bed gently "tell me about you" whispered Derek hoarsely between kissing my neck "well… what do you want to know?" I asked breathlessly "where is your mother?" asked Derek kissing butterfly kisses down my jaw but instantly stopped when he felt me stiffen "if you don't want to talk about it-""my mother died when I was 12" I said interrupting him "what happened?" he asked slowly "well, my father said she was attacked by a werewolf and died" I said remembering the day my father sat me in the kitchen and told me my mother had died from a werewolf attack, it was the main reason I trained so hard to be a hunter. "I'm sorry about your mother" said Derek looking me straight in the eyes "why are you sorry?" I whispered "because not all were wolves are mindless beasts" he said lying on his side next to me "you don't need to defend yourself, I know you're not like the others, otherwise you wouldn't be on my bed right now" I said smirking, Derek chuckled. "it's your turn to tell me about you" I said "well I'm the alpha of a werewolf pack and my name's Derek Hale, I hate cats and I live at the Hale residence up in the forest" said Derek "what's your favourite colour?" I asked "blue" he said laying back with his hands behind his head "what's your favourite food?" I asked feeling a little silly for asking him these cliché questions, but I really wanted to know everything about him "steak, what's yours?" asked Derek "sushi" I replied Derek wrinkled his nose "steak is way better" said Derek in a matter of fact tone. I laughed. "Derek?" I asked after a few minutes of silence "what's wrong?" he asked getting up onto his elbows "I need you to be honest with me, can you do that?" I asked seriously "yes, what's wrong?" he asked "I need to know why you're in my room right now, I really do want to believe that we have some 'special' connection but let's face the facts, I'm from a family of hunters and you're not just a normal werewolf but a freaking Alpha and that leads me to think that you have some hidden agenda." Derek chuckled "you wouldn't believe me if I told you so let me show you. Derek took off his shirt and cut a small gash across his chest "drink and you will see everything" said Derek gently. I slowly leaned in towards him and licked his blood running down his hard abs. I saw pictures of when Derek first saw me in the forest from his point of view till now and I could feel his emotions-so many emotions! It made me want to cry in joy as I felt these emotions pulsate through my being I was brought back to reality by Derek's soft hot lips on mine. It took me a few seconds to notice I was crying "why?" was all I managed to croak. Derek looked away, I thought he wasn't going to answer me but he looked back at me and whispered "I don't know."

I love reviews! And don't worry everything will be explained in later chapters.
