Sophia
"I over heard him and your mom talking in his office and apparently she's alive and well. They had a baby that died before I was born and she left my dad three years later after the miscarriage happened, only to find out that she was pregnant with me. After I was born she brought me back here to him and left." Luke growls when I tell him this and it sends a shiver down my spine. "Sophia, this is why I hate humans. They're unfaithful in marriages, fickle bastards and they can't even care enough for their children. Fuck her, she's a waste of space. She left you Sophia and your dad is a fucking dick for not telling you. " Shaking my head I look down at my hands and choke on a sob, "I'm not wanted by anyone, maybe I'm the waste of space, this is my life and it sucks." Luke grabs my shoulders turning me to face him, "That's a lie. Your dad may be a liar, but he loves you. You have Sarah who is your best friend, I swear I can't tell you how much she talks about you to the other packs members, all good things. Its fucking annoying having to hear Sophia this and Sophia that."
Luke
Sophia smiles at that making me smile in return, "And you have me, your friend." I lift her chin to meet my eyes, she's looking at me like I am lying to her. I did tell her that I have enough friends, but damn does she need someone real on her team. I can't fucking just let her believe that she's nothing even though I am partially responsible for making her feel that way. Truthfully, she's not terrible to be around. "Yes Sophia, I am your friend. There's something about your half-breed ass that I can't shake and it has nothing to do with my mom." Sophia smiles making my heart skip a beat, "Fine we're friends, now can we go? I'm in wet clothes." I shake my head at her crazy ass, "You're the one who ran out in the rain Soph."
Sophia
After changing into black leggings, a white long sleeve shirt and my gray UGG boots I join Luke in the living room. "So what do you want to do?" He asks me looking at my chest."Nice bra." I look down and see purple,I of course blush, "Shit, I'll be back." Luke grabs my wrist before I can turn away from him. "I like it." He mentions while once again looking down at my chest. Of course he likes it, he's a sexed crazed teen who just so happens to be wolf. "Leave it on, its just us hanging out." Trying not to blush again, I avoid making eye contact with him."Umm, ok so what are we going to do?" He bites his bottom lip then shakes his head as if he has an idea, but then he clears his throat. "Let's go watch a movie."
I'm laughing at him now."Have you ever sat down and just watched a movie with a girl?" I put my hands on my hip and tap my foot waiting for an answer, Luke grins, "There's always a first time for everything." With a playful scoff at Luke,I grab his hand leading him up to my room. "What are you doing?" He asks now that we're at the stairs case, "The weather knocked out the satellite, so its Netflix, Hulu or Amazon on the flat screen in my room." Walking inside my room I turn the TV on going to the apps, "Here, find us something that we both might enjoy, I didn't finish my food earlier so I'm going to get snacks." Luke stops me just as I get to the top of the stairs, "Anything for me?" "Beef jerk... y?" Luke smirks at me like a devil, "I've got your beef." With that I leave him with my TV hoping to not walk back in on Girls Gone Wild or some other kind of porn show.
Luke
I pick a comedy for us to watch keeping in mind that Sophia is a girl, I end up choosing a Adam Sandler movie, I mean can you go wrong with his type of comedy? Sophia raises an eye brow but doesn't question it, halfway through Happy Gilmore, Sophia's head falls against my left shoulder. I raise my arm up and let her get more comfortable against me, then I lay my arm over her and continue to watch the movie. Looking down at her fast asleep and snuggling into me breathing in my scent, a smile comes to my face for some odd ass reason. Its weird, just watching TV with a girl can be fun after all.
Sophia
Waking up I notice that I'm alone in the bed, the TV had been turned off and the room is dark. Looking at my phone on the nightstand the times reads that its eight pm, I turn the lamp on and see that the left over snack wrappers and empty drink cans are gone. Luke must've cleaned them up before he left. I go downstairs to get a bottle of water and I run into dad. "Oh, you're home." I don't even try to hide the dry tone in my voice, I am still pissed that my mom isn't dead and that he never told me.
He smiles at me and I don't return one, "Can we talk?" I shrug, "What about? How mom isn't dead? How the two of you were pregnant with another child before I came along? How you were so afraid that I may lose my connection to a 'dead woman' when I flip?" My dad clears his throat, "You know about Marie?" Crossing my arms over my chest I nod, "Yeah, I do. I overheard you and Mrs. Cates talking at the station, I bolted before you realized I was there." He looks uncomfortable, good. "Sweetheart, I am so sorry, but your mom and I we just, we didn't work. She was a traveler who breezed into town when we were teenagers and at first I only wanted a fling with her." This doesn't sound like my dad at all, not the uptight man who raised me. No, Matt Donner is a fair and loving man who protects everyone he cares about. He's always been on my ass about not getting involved with guys like Luke, or Luke himself because they're not one woman kind of guys. Huh, I guess it takes one to know one. "Maybe we should sit down."
So here I am following him to the kitchen table taking a seat across from him wondering where the hell this conversation is going to go. "Soph, your mom and me were just two kids having fun, but when she got pregnant the first time I fell in love with her and asked her to marry me. She lost the baby, but I still wanted her as my wife." I lick my dry lips and nod for him to continue, he sighs and I wait. "We were married for a while and then you came into the picture three years later." I look away from him afraid of showing him any emotion whatsoever. "What happened?" "Marie wasn't content on staying in one place, she knew I couldn't leave and she didn't want to stay so she took off to Seattle. Then she found out she was pregnant with you, you were born at the Seattle Women's Hospital at 4:22 in the morning. Five pounds, four ounces and nineteen inches long.
I already know this thanks to my birth certificate, but apparently having pull here in Wolf Lake it says that I was born at Wolf Lake General. "A week later she brought you to Wolf Lake and left again and here I was in the house with a crying baby who's name was Peony. " I scrunch my face and give him a funny look, "Yeah I didn't like it either obviously." "So how is it that you changed my name and my birth certificate?" He laughs shaking his head, "Your mom ran away from the hospital the day after you were born, she never said why she did it. Technically you were unnamed when she brought you to me, but she had been calling you Peony." Right, well I'm glad that he didn't keep that horrible name. I mean if you're going to name a kid after a flower you should pick Daisy, Rose or Violet. Not fucking Peony, thank God he didn't keep it. "So I called Sherman, Vivian, Willard and Sarah's parents. They came over to help me, Luke had been born a month before you and Sarah was a week ahead of you, so Lila and Pete gave me some baby clothes that were Sarah's." Its nice to know that even though my dad gave up everything for my bitch mother, his friends were still there for him. "Vivian sat up with me all night helping me come up with a name for you. You and Luke were laying in the crib that V bought for us while we set up your room and came up with every name we could that would suit you."
I laugh at that, me and Luke were in a crib together? That's so hard to believe. "Well, at least Sophia Alexandria Lynette Donner is better than Peony. Anyway, I'm guessing that my birth certificate shows that my mother had me here since she didn't file for one or really name me when she gave me to you." Dad just nods his head and I let out a breath, this is so frustrating, confusing and exhausting. Normal will never begin with me I see. Dad looks down at the table and stares at his hands for a second, when he looks back at me there are tears in his eyes. "I received divorce papers in the mail when you were about a month old, her rights to have zero custody to you were in there as well. No parental rights, no visitations. She wanted to be free of it all, the return address was to a P.O. Box in Raleigh, North Carolina. She covered her tracks pretty well." I stay silent for a minute with tears in my eyes, "Did she say why she didn't want me?" Clearing his throat he reaches across the table to hold my hand, but I can't let him. No matter what he still lied to me, to protect me yes I get that, but it still hurts."She told me that her mother wasn't much of one and that's why she had left home at 16. Marie didn't think she had it in her to be a mother either, but said that she loved you very much and knew that you would be better off with me. After the miscarriage, she closed herself off and didn't want anymore children. She saw your pregnancy through thankfully and gave me the best part of myself. Seeing how my genetics have taken over, its probably a good thing she did." I feel like I'm going to puke. "I need air." I make my way to the front door but, he reaches for my hand, "This is a note she wrote to you, I know now that you should've read it a long time ago." He places an envelope in my free hand and let's me go.
I go to my room and change my clothes, its still raining outside, but not too hard. I trade my leggings for jeans, put on a pair of Converse, then I slide into my black swede jacket and make my way outside. I need to walk off this information. The rain and wind are cold against my face, the night air. February is a bitch when this weather hits and I'm shocked that there isn't snow on the ground yet. As I walk towards town I look up at the sky, dark and cloudy.. that's exactly how I feel right now. My life is always getting worse by the second it seems. I keep stopping under every street light to look at the perfect cursive handwriting that my fake name is written in. I try to bring myself to open it but I can't. Finally I tuck the letter into her the pocket on my jacket and I keep walking until I walk inside the diner. Sarah's sitting at the bar doing homework when she sees me enter, I know that she knows something is wrong. "Sophia, what happened?" Sarah asks concern laces her voice and I feel a tear slide down my cold cheek. "It's just been a shit day is all." I say to Sarah with a shrug. Sarah hugs me and I try to fight the choking noises I'm making into my friend's shoulder, how pathetic am I? I can't even keep my tears at bay, I'm so fucking weak. "You can tell me anything Soph, you know that right? We can leave and go to my house and talk if you want to." My best friend is the sweetest person I know and she's the person I need to talk to right now.
Luke
After I left Sophia's house I ended up coming to the Rendezvous with Sean and Randy. I had ended up staying almost another two hours at her house because I couldn't bring myself to move her, she was sleeping so soundly against my chest. I watched another movie and then I made my exit careful not to wake her up. The guys kept asking questions about Sophia and I kept dodging them, I don't know what to say to them about her. They wouldn't understand our new friendship after I've spent all this time being an ass to the girl. They wouldn't get Sophia at all and honestly I don't either, she's so different from the females I hang around, but its refreshing not having a girl fall to her knees and kiss the ground I walk on. Or fall to her knees to get me off. Usually I don't go back and fourth arguing with a girl either, but Sophia is a challenging little bitch and I love to see her ass when she's all revved up.
No these two wouldn't get her and I hanging out at all and there's really not much to tell anyway. They just know that she's y charge and I'm leaving it at that, she and I have only been around one another a few times and the majority of that she was pissed or crying.
A crowd clears out and that's when I see her wrapped in her best friend's arms. Putting the pool stick on the table I walk over to the two girls and pull them apart, and when I look into Sophia's broken eyes, I know that she must have talked with her dad. This had been the second time today that I've seen her tears and it bothers me, I don't understand why she gets to me in ways that no one else has before. "Come with me."
Sophia
I can't look him in the eyes too embarrassed to have him see me like this once again. I can only imagine what he thinks of cry baby Sophia. Luke puts his hand on my lower back ushering her to the door, God the feel of his warm hand on me sends chills all over my body, but in a good way. We walk over to his car and he leans against the hood and pulls me between his legs so that we're face to face. Keeping his hands on my waist he asks me, "What's going on?" I look down at our torsos and shake my head. "Nothing you need to worry about, like I told Sarah its just been a shit day and things are taking a toll on me."
"Sophia don't try to bullshit me, what the hell is going on?" Luke growls at me, I try to step away, but he pulls me back to him.
Luke
Closing her eyes, Sophia pulls an envelope from the pocket on her jacket and looks me in the eyes. "I'm just being a sensitive baby Luke, it shouldn't matter but for some reason is does." Her voice is tired and she shakes while handing me the envelope. I hold it up to the light and see the name Peony written on the front, "What's this?" Sophia coughs, "A letter my mother wrote me after I was born. She had been calling me Peony before she gave me up. Anyway, my dad gave it to me after I told him that I heard him and your mom talking about her. I learned a lot about my birth and the weeks after she gave me to my dad.. things I should've already known." Damn right she should've known, Matt's a damn pussy for not telling this girl about her bitch mother, he may have done it for a good reason, but looking at her now.. seeing her this upset, I don't see what good it did.
"Luke, I can't bring myself to read it. I want to, I just can't." Looking down at the broken girl in front of me, seeing the hurt in her eyes that I've come to notice are honey brown with a hint of green in them, I find myself wanting to hold her and take away her pain. God, I hate how she's making me feel, I don't want to be this way. I hate it. Days ago she was nothing to me and now, now I'm friends with her.
Call me a dick, but I hate that I want to comfort her and yet, I do it anyway. "Come here." Sophia leans into my embrace, she relaxes once her face is buried into my hard chest. She seems content breathing in my scent. I have to control my stirring cock, she has no idea what's she's doing. Keeping my thoughts straight, I lift her chin and stare at her. "Fuck her. She doesn't deserve your tears Sophia. She's a dumb ass bitch who couldn't hack it as a mom and that's not your fucking fault." Sighing I ask her, "What do you want to do with it? We can torch it if you want." Sophia lets out a small giggle,"I want to see what she wrote, but not now. Not with every other thing I have going on." I nod understandingly, she may want to torch it after she reads it though. "Do you want me to take you home?" She shakes her head no, but doesn't respond. Fuck, why does it feel right to have her here with me. It feels right to be the one to hold and comfort her, but it also scares me horribly. I've never felt this way, so I let her go. "We could play pool if you don't want to go." Sophia laughs dryly now and I raise my eyebrows for her to elaborate, "No offense, but I don't like your girls and they don't like me... soooo I am going to pass. Maybe Sarah will keep me company."
I just need to know if she'll be fine without me around. Sophia runs her fingers through her brown hair, it's wavy as it tumbles down her back. Damn I can't believe how I never saw how beautiful she really is, fuck I need to stop. Or get laid. This is freaking me out. "You're sure?" Waving me off she smirks, "You need to get back inside before they start trying to think for themselves." I chuckle and she smiles, "Alright, but you're sure you don't want me to take you home?"
Sophia
I would love the extra alone time with him, but it would only be for a few minutes in his car, so I have to decline. That terrifies and excites me, but I can't be at home right now. "No, thanks though. I just need to put some space between me and my dad at the moment, truthfully I wish we had a cabin I could sneak off to for a while. I don't feel like being in my home surrounded by fake 'truths' and all of these secrets that he's kept." Luke smiles and brushes a strand of hair from my face, "Do you want me to hold onto this? Just in case you get the urge to get rid of it and then feel guilty later?" He holds the letter up for me to see and I nod, its like he knows exactly what I might have done. Weird. "Yes, I may be tempted to get rid of it, but then I'll never know what was written, so that's probably best. Thank you Luke, I really appreciate it."
"I'll make sure nothing happens to it Soph." He does his signature Luke Cates panting dropping smile and before I realize what I am doing, I kiss his cheek. "Thanks." I whisper into his ear, Luke turns his head and his lips land on mine.
Luke
I pull her to closer to me kissing her hard, Sophia gasps and I slide my tongue inside her mouth. She kisses me back moaning, I growl in my throat and push my hard on into her pelvis never breaking the kiss. I seriously can't believe that this kiss feels too good to stop, too right. She tastes so fucking good.
Sophia
My mind and body are in overdrive, I hold onto Luke as our tongues dance and twirl, he sucks on my bottom lip and I almost come undone. The feel of his hard on against me has me throbbing with need. How can a kiss be this damn good? Fuck he tastes so good, I keeping kissing him back never wanting this moment to end. I can't believe this is really happening to me!
Luke
When the thought of bending Sophia over my car and taking her right here in the parking lot passes through my mind I decide its time to break away from her. While we were kissing my hands had made their way to her perfect ass, still holding onto her there I smirk, she's flushed and her eyes are dilated. "Now you won't have your mom on your mind." Giving her a wink. I withdraw my hands and walk back into the diner putting the envelope in my jacket.
I shouldn't have done that, but it felt so right. She tasted like sinful desire and I wanted to drink her. I've had my fare share of kissing and making out, but that was the hottest kiss I've ever had. What the fuck is wrong with me?
Sophia
I touch my tingling lips and smile, Luke and I just kissed! What the hell just happened between us? I can't think straight!
Sarah
When Luke walks back inside the diner I smell Sophia all over him, I go outside and smell Luke all on Sophia as well. She looks shocked and a happier than when I saw her minutes ago. "My house, girl talk." Sophia smiles with a nod and we walk towards my house. Luke and Sophia? This should be interesting!
Sophia and Luke kissed! Luke is starting to have some kind of feelings for Sophia and he's not liking it even though he does things like kissing her, hmm... What will come of that? Please read and review! I love when ya'll let me know what you think about the chapters! Also, how soon are ya'll wanting Sophia to flip and should it be with Luke or should she do it alone like a bad ass? I'm interested in seeing what ya'll think!
