The lovely & talented Jamie Kay Huntt is now my co-author! So we will be transferring my story to the account: ScreamQueensOfZombies (we might change the name later I'll keep you updated). I will still post chapters here but they will first be posted on that account. Anyway, sorry this took so long but I have finals the next 3 wks in a row. Which is why I'm hoping to upload 2 chapters today (this chapter & chapter 8). Please review! Thanks!
DEREK POV
I went into the kitchen to see Chloe sitting at the kitchen table talking to Tori & Simon. I came up beside Chloe and took her glass of water she had sitting in front of her, knowing she wouldn't mind if I took a few sips.
Tori saw this and, as usual, had to comment. "Eww Chloe he's drinking your water & probably getting his wolf-germs all in it." Tori said. I rolled my eyes, knowing she was just teasing, and then I thought of a response sure to shut her up.
"I just had my tongue halfway down her throat. I don't think she minds if I get my 'wolf-germs' in her water." I said playfully. Chloe laughed at this and blushed a little.
Tori couldn't think of a snappy response so she just glared at me. Simon laughed. "Chloe, want to go outside before it gets dark?" I asked Chloe taking the seat beside her.
"No! Chloe wants to spend time with Simon & me before we leave. She's going to miss us too you know." Tori said. Chloe stopped us before we got into a fight. "
Tori, I will miss you guys but I'll miss Derek too. I promise to spend a little time with you both before you leave but for now, Derek wins." She said.
"That's not fair. Wolf-boy always wins with you. I'll always be second." Tori whined.
"Actually your farther down than that. She's my mate so I get number one slot. Then I'm also her boyfriend, which occupies number two. Then when we get engaged I'll take slot
number 3 as her fiancée then we'll get married and I'll take slot number four as her husband. Then when we have kids I'll be number 5 as the father of her children. So you'll always be six or seven." I said.
Tori just stuck her tongue out at me, knowing I was just teasing. I knew even though Tori can be a royal bitch at times Chloe did consider her to be like a sister.
I grabbed Chloe's hand, interlacing our fingers and led her outside. I sat down on the hammock and pulled her into my lap then gently laid back.
"You know I WILL have to spend some time with Tori & Simon later." Chloe said. I interlaced our fingers together and kissed her ring, now on her left hand.
"I know lovely-love But I wanted to spend some time with you before the agony of leaving you for three days." I told her.
"I know we won't be like this since your fine with me hanging out with Simon & Tori but I had this best friend in like 7th grade and I we were really close. But then she started dating this high schooler and completely forgot about me and her other friends. It hurt me a lot to lose my best friend to a guy. And, like I said before, I know that won't happen with us but still please promise me it won't." she said, sounding upset. I hated when she was upset.
"I promise you that will never ever happen to us Chloe. I know we need to balance our relationship & our families & friends. That's why I didn't keep begging you to come on this trip with us." I reassured her.
She smiled and my heart melted. "Thank you baby. I love you." Chloe said. I kissed her on the nose and said, "I love you too. More than you can imagine." Suddenly I thought about what dad told me earlier about mating season and figured I had to tell Chloe, she had a right to know.
"Chloe, you know how we were in the kitchen and I was kissing you and I had my hands under your shirt?" I asked and she nodded blushing. "
Well when I went to talk to my dad he told it's mating season for werewolves. So my hormones are way higher than normal making me want you closer to me, and also want you like physically." I said blushing. I
continued on trying to make it seem like I didn't just want her for her body. "That sounds bad. I don't want you for your body. I love you and you know that. But the wolf in me wants to physically connect with you to I guess you could say make our love stronger and make sure you stay with me." I said and looked at her face.
It was a mixture of emotions. "So when we kiss if I start to go to far and your not ready for us to move beyond 2nd base just tell me and I'll stop." I finished.
"Der, I love you and I'm completely ready to move beyond 2nd base if you are. I don't mind." She smiled and me. I thought of something I read in a book that make my heart sink.
"I just want to warn you though maybe we shouldn't do it cause werewolves tend to 'bond' while in intercourse making the female more ready to have pups and we're not ready for that yet. Then there's no point in a condom." I told her sadly.
"Der it's ok I take birth control pills remember? I didn't originally plan on using them for birth control but they're helpful now." She said with a laugh. "
So we'll do it then? Cause we love each other?" I asked her, needing clarification. "Yes when we get alone time & the times right." Chloe said smiling. I leaned in and kissed her deeply. Breaking away I asked her a question.
"Lovely-love can I take that stuffed bear your mom got you when you were little on the trip with me to have something to cuddle with since you wont be there?"
Werewolves had this thing that when they mated they cuddled with their mate while sleeping unless the wolf would find it very difficult to sleep. That was one of the reasons I had always slept in Chloe's bed even before she moved into my room.
She considered this for a moment before nodding. "Please keep it safe. You know how much it means to me. But that means I get to keep you sweatshirt while your gone." She said with a grin on her face.
I laughed. She always wore my sweatshirt, even though it was summer. Necromancers were cold by nature. She knew I loved to see it on her too so it was silly she even asked.
"Of course you can keep my sweatshirt silly. And don't worry your bear will be in perfect condition when you come down." I told her. It was a huge deal that she was letting me bring her bear.
She never let anyone near it since it meant so much to her. Her aunt had saved it when Chloe went to the Lyle House and kept it with her even through the Edison's Group capture.
She gave it back to Chloe once we settled in the house and Chloe was ecstatic to have it back. I placed kisses along her neck and she shivered in delight. "I'll miss you." I told her and placed a kiss on the sensitive part of her neck.
"I'll miss you too Der but I think this trip will be good for us." She said. "Well I guess I gotta go pack. You can spend time with Tori & Simon now. I won't keep you any longer." I said with a sigh.
I got off the hammock and helped Chloe to her feet. She went on her tiptoes for a kiss and I gladly met her halfway. We go inside and Tori has her laptop up and is looking up things to do in Florida.
"Chloe did you know Siesta Key beach was rated one of the top 5 beaches in America?" she said. "No I didn't that's so cool. What else did you find out?" Chloe asked and sat on the couch in between Simon, who was sketching, and Tori. I went upstairs to start packing.
CHLOE POV
Derek & I went inside and Tori started telling me about Siesta Key beach. I went over to the couch and sat between Tori & Simon, leaving Derek to go pack.
Tori was rambling on and on about what "amazing' malls they had there as I clicked through the website she was on to find out more.
"Look Simon there's a comic museum! It says features sketches from the most popular comics of all times." I told him. "Awesome! Let me see!" Simon said taking the laptop from me.
So for an hour I sat and talked to Tori & Simon about Florida. Then I went up to see how Derek was doing packing. I went upstairs and into mine & Derek's room to find him angrily trying to close the zipper on the suitcase.
I looked and saw that he had just shoved clothes in not even bothering to fold them nicely. I laughed, typical boy. At my laugh Derek turned to look at me with a hopeful expression.
"Chloe will you please help me shut this stupid suitcase?" he asked me. "Here let me help. First, you need to fold the clothes nicely so they fit." I told him as I walked over to the suitcase.
I unzipped it and showed him how to fold the clothes nicely. "Here you go hand me the clothes and I'll fold them and put them in for you." I told him.
After we were almost finished he said, "I can get it from here thanks babes." Derek said. I was confused. All that was left was a few pairs of boxers, why couldn't I fold them? Looking up I saw Derek blushing a little.
Oh, he was embarrassed to have his girlfriend folding his boxers for him. I laughed. "Der, I've been with you every time you've changed. It's not like I haven't seen your boxers before."
I took them from his hands and folded them, placing them in the suitcase. He sat on the bed and looked up at me. "Chloe won't you please come with us tomorrow? We can spend time with our families down in Florida." Derek said to me.
God, he didn't know how much I wanted to go with them but Aunt Lauren said she wanted some alone time with me so I had to be strong. "I want to baby but Aunt Lauren wants to spend some time with me and we probably couldn't get tickets now." I told him going over to him and pushing his hair out of his eyes.
DEREK POV
Chloe came over to me and pushed my hair out of my eyes for me then sat next to me on the bed. Suddenly she straightened up.
"I have an idea, I'll call Aunt Lauren and see if she can get off work the rest of the week. Then tomorrow you guys go down and Aunt Lauren & I will come spend time together then
we'll come down the day after that. That way I get to spend time with my aunt and I don't have to be away from you that long." She said excitedly. "That's a great idea!" I told her. I was ecstatic now.
I didn't want to leave Chloe for three days. If anyone else but her had told me to go I would have refused. 'Let me go call dad and see about tickets and everything" I told her.
I went to call dad and she went to call her aunt. After making the arrangements Chloe & I went to tell Simon & Tori about the change of plans. Dad, Simon, Tori & I would leave at 6
tomorrow morning, spend the day at the beach as a family then Chloe would come down the next morning. Lauren was busy at the hospital so she was going to take tomorrow off, spend it with Chloe then take the next week off and join us in Florida.
This was great. Chloe was coming down a whole 2 days earlier and we got to spend another whole week in Florida.
Once we told Simon & Tori the new plans we all settled down on the couch to watch a movie that was on tv. Chloe fell asleep on my lap halfway through so I said goodnight to Simon & Tori and carried Chloe to bed.
She woke up as we got in the room. "I'm gonna go change and brush my teeth." She said sleepily. Once we both changed & brushed our teeth we climbed into bed and she cuddled into me. I gave her and quick kiss and said, "Good night Chloe. I love you."
So what do you think of Derek calling Chloe lovely-love? I read the Vampire Diaries and that's what Stefan calls Elena and I love that so I wanted Derek to call Chloe that. Reviews are great please!
