This is even longer than the last one oh my god (not by much but still holy shit). Enjoy!
Issac was right about Penelope's mother, she was really nice. When they arrived downstairs they were greeted by a large breakfast, making the three boys drool. As they ate, her mother talked to them, making them feel as if they were at home. "Do you guys need me to take you anywhere? Drop you off at home, maybe take you to the mall?" Penelope groaned, her mother was the sweetest woman ever, sometimes too sweet. "Oh, no ma'am, we're fine. Stiles here drove his jeep over so we'll be fine." Issac shot her a smile, causing the older woman to giggle. "Oh that's right, silly me, I forgot." She leaned over to her daughter, whispering in her ear, "Oh, I like that one, he's a cutie." Penelope groaned again, playfully shoving her mom's shoulder. "Cougar." she mouthed, causing her mom to laugh. She then remembered that Issac and Scott were able to hear her mother's hushed whispers. She turned to them, to see Issac smiling with a pink tinge to his cheeks and Scott trying to hold in his laughter. She rolled her eyes again, focusing on her food as her mother chatted happily with them.
When they were done Penelope's mother gathered their dishes. "You boys go on and make yourself comfortable in the living room, Penelope and I will take care of the dishes." They shot her thank you's and exited the kitchen. Penelope's mother began washing the plates while Penelope wiped down the counter. "Mom you do realize we have a dishwasher now, right?" the younger Bonnaire asked. "Yeah, yeah I know, but this is relaxing." Penelope always wondered why her mother enjoyed housework. "Mom, cleaning is totally not relaxing, it is hella stressful." "Well if you weren't so lazy then it wouldn't be so 'hella stressful'." the older woman giggled as her daughter began to whine. "Stop being such a baby, pumpkin, you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of those handsome young men." she said in her native tongue. Penelope rolled her eyes. "Mom stop that, they're just my friends." "Oh come on," now her mother began to whine, "you have to be at least interested in one of them, I know you are." Penelope wasn't going to lie, they were indeed handsome, and one of them did catch her eye. "Well, that boy, the one with the curly hair? He's pretty cute. Actually, he came over the other day and helped me with my homework and we hung out and stuff." "Oh I know, I came home for my first lunch break and saw you two cuddled up on the floor, you guys looked adorable." Penelope's face turned bright red. Her mother began laughing, causing her daughter to hit her shoulder, completely embarrassed. "Mom it wasn't like that, you know how I get when I'm tired!" her mother rolled her eyes playfully as she finished the last dish. "Sure, sure, now go on, go play with your friends." her daughter huffed before turning on her heel, heading for the living room. She chuckled, her daughter sure got riled up easily.
When Penelope entered the living room she was surprised to see the boys huddled around the TV playing her video games. Well, if she really thought about it she shouldn't have been surprised, they were boys after all. Stiles turned to her, "Dude, how did you even get this? It doesn't come out until next month!" She simply chuckled at his bewildered expression. "It's nice having connections is all I can say." she took a seat on the floor next to Issac, laughing as Stiles mouth gaped open. He harumphed and turned back to the game, whining as he realized Scott had killed him. "Dude, no far, I told you to pause it!" She watched as the boys all took turns in killing each other mercilessly in the virtual world, soon becoming tired. She looked up at the TV box's clock to realize that they had literally wasted the entire day sitting in her living room. They seemed so happy, so relaxed, she couldn't tell them to leave. She could only imagine how much growing up they've had to due over the past year, it must've been nice for them to just spend the day being regular kids again. Eventually they too noticed the time, before deciding it was time to leave. "Yeah, get out of my house, you all reek." she said to them playfully as they walked out of her door. They all looked at themselves, taking whiffs of their clothing. She laughed as their faces turned sour. They waved goodbye before piling into Stiles' truck, speeding off down the street.
Issac couldn't stop thinking about her. About the way she smelled, her body heat radiating off of her and warming his skin, they way her nose would crinkle and how she would snort accidentally when she laughed too hard. He rested the side of his head on the window, watching as the trees flew by. He sighed through his nose; what was he going to do. He felt strongly for her, too strongly, but what he felt he didn't know. He knew he felt an irrational need to protect her at all costs. He wanted to bang his head against the window, he was growing frustrated with himself. Frustrated at how his heartbeat would quicken when she laid her hand on his shoulder, or would lean on him when she giggled or felt tired. He wondered if this is how Scott felt whenever Allison was near. He made a mental note to ask him about it later. As he thought about Penelope more, the events from the morning flooded back into his mind. He could feel his face, his whole body heat up as the image of her standing over him, her underwear and bra in clear view, clouded his thoughts. He remembered they way his heart thudded against his chest when he woke up that sight. He was glad that he hadn't awoken to morning wood, but he would have rather had that then wake up to Penelope half naked. He did enjoy what he saw, but he could barely control his hormones as he had stared. Stiles pulled up to Derek's loft, and with a quick exchange of goodbye's, Issac got out and made his way up to his home. He hadn't seen Derek's car outside, so he assumed he and Cora were out. And his assumption was correct when he was greeted by silence when he opened the loft door. He quickly ran to his room, throwing his stuff down and taking a quick shower. He got dressed, his stomach growling loudly, reminding him that he hadn't eaten since Penelope's mom made breakfast. He left the loft, going to a burger joint near it to grab a bite to eat. When he arrived back, he noticed Derek's car was now parked outside, which relieved Issac. He jogged up to the loft, cursing Derek for moving into a place without an elevator, and quickly unlocked the door. "Derek-" he began, before noticing said alpha did not look pleased. He didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he wasn't going to like the outcome.
The rest of the week flew by for Penelope, and she was glad that it did. She was upset when Issac told her that Derek had kicked him out, wanting to give the sourwolf a piece of her mind, but was relieved when he told her that he was going to stay with Scott. It was Friday after school, and she and the rest of the cross country team were piling onto the bus so that they could journey off to their first meet. She wondered why they had to travel so far for it, but shrugged it off; she always liked riding the bus to games at her old school, but then again they never had to travel for so long. She threw her stuff up on the overhead thingy (she never did find out what they were called) and sat down in a seat, sliding in to be next to the window. A girl whom she came to know as Stephanie sat beside her. The two girls smiled at one another, they had became friends over the week through practice, and they even found out that they shared quite a few classes together. They turned away from each other, both of them doing their own thing: Stephanie pulled out a book and started reading while Penelope placed her earphones over her ears, hoping that her music would help her sleep. She closed her eyes but opened them again when the bustling of the students became too much. She looked in front of her to see that Issac and Boyd had taken the seat in front of her. Issac turned to her, shooting her one of his dazzling smiles. She smiled back, feeling her face stretch into a bigger smile than usual. She had found herself spending more and more time with Issac, he usually went home with her (to protect as she had found out) and they would do homework and other stuff, or she would go to Scott's house with him. The two introduced her to Scott's mom, Melissa, and Penelope instantly took a liking to her. She also knew about all the werewolf stuff, and that had comforted her greatly. The two often talked to each other on the phone, and she found out that Melissa and her mother were actually friends since they worked the same shift. That made everything even better in Penelope's mind, the two households had even had dinner together. She smiled again as she sat back, closing her eyes, as she remembered the night.
Penelope was so excited, her mother and Melissa had both gotten an extra day off during the week and they decided that they should all gather for a dinner at the McCall's home. When she got home, Penelope immediately went to her bathroom to take a shower. She was all sweaty and gross from practice and she did not want to show up on their doorstep for Scott or Issac to see her looking like shit. She quickly dried her hair and walked back to her room. She threw herself into her closet, hoping to find the perfect outfit. She finally found something appropriate, feeling giddy all over. It was her favorite dress, a sunflower printed baby doll dress. She slipped in on, twirling in it. She was so worried about the dinner, it felt as if she were meeting her boyfriend's parents or something. She shook the feeling off, knowing it was ridiculous, she knew Melissa like her. She continued getting ready, putting on makeup and putting moisturizer in her hair, wanting her curls to be defined. As she was putting on jewelry, her mother called her down. She slipped on her white mary janes and skipped downstairs. She saw her mother packing the lumpia she made into a tote bag. Her mother turned to her, "Can you put this in the car? I have to go to the bathroom." "Sure. Hey, where's dad?" Her mother handed her the bag, a disastified frown on her face. "Still at 'work'." she made air quotes around the word. She turned, continuing her way to the bathroom. Penelope understood her mother's feelings. She was upset that her dad hadn't been home basically since they moved back. She was suspicious of him, knowing that work probably wasn't the only thing keeping him from home, but she knew not to tell her mother that, unless she wanted a very angry Asian woman yelling at her. Penelope placed the bag of food on the floor of her mother's hybrid suv, and slid into the passenger seat. She made sure not to move her foot too much as she put on her seat belt and waited for her mom. When her mother came out and strapped herself in, they were off.
When they arrived, Melissa greeted them at the door. "Oh girls, you looks beautiful!" she hugged them both, kissing them on their cheeks. "You do to Melissa." "Oh Paola, stop." but Penelope's mother wasn't lying, Melissa looked gorgeous. She seemed to be glowing. She wondered what caused the woman to be so happy. "Well come on in, oh, is that that lumpia thing you were talking about Paola, here, let me take that." She ushered them in, taking the bag from Penelope's hands. "The boys are upstairs Penelope, you can go hang out with them, I still have a bit of cooking to do, I'll call you guys down when I'm done." Penelope nodded, walking up the stairs to Scott's room. She smiled to herself as she heard the two women chatter happily. She opened the door to Scott's room, finding Scott still doing his homework. "Oh, hey Penelope." Scott said, looking up from his spot on the floor. "Hey Scott, where's Issac?" she asked, taking a seat next to him. "In the bathroom, I swear he's been in there for like an hour." "Well maybe he actually wants to be clean unlike you." she teased, causing him to glare playfully at her. "Whatever. Hey, want to help we with this?" He pointed to his unfinished work. She rolled her eyes, knowing the poor boy never did his work. "Fine, you're lucky I care about you passing." as they finished his homework, Issac walked into the room. They both looked up, and Penelope hoped that he didn't hear the sharp intake of breath that she took. He looked absolutely gorgeous. He wore a navy blue collared pullover over a mint green button up and khaki chinos. His boots looked as if they had been recently shined. Clean and well dressed, what else was this boy going to pull out of his ass to make himself more attractive. "Hi Penelope." he greeted, his pinks turning a bit pink. Hers did as well. "Hi Issac." She greeted back, smiling. Scott rolled his eyes, standing up. "Jesus man, you took so long! I thought you'd never get out." He grabbed the clothes that had been sitting on his bed. "You better hope my mom doesn't call us down while I'm in the shower, I already have to take a short shower, I don't want it cut too short." He walked out, grumbling about Issac acting like such a pretty boy. Issac sat next to Penelope, looking her over. "Well, don't you look nice." he said, causing her to smile widely. "You're not to bad yourself." she nudged his arm, causing him to laugh. "Guys, dinner's ready!" Melissa called from below. Penelope and Issac cackled as Scott let out a loud curse, angrily shouting Issac's name.
The dinner went well, much to Penelope's pleasure. Their mothers chatted away happily, and she did with her friends. What was even better was that Issac kept flirting with her, subtly, but she could still catch it. As they were saying their goodbyes, Issac caught her arm. She looked up at him, a confused smile on her face. He pulled her into him, enveloping her in a warm hug. She hugged him back, inhaling his scent. He was wearing cologne -was that Gucci she smelled?- and it mixed so well with his natural smell, creating the most intoxicating aroma. It was a long hug, one of those hugs where you kind of rock back and forth. A cough interrupted them and they both turned to Paola, who was giving them a knowing look. They both blushed, quickly said goodbye, and Penelope followed her mother to their car. She smiled the entire car ride home, not once reacting to her mother's attempts of embarrassing her.
Penelope hadn't realized she had fallen asleep until the sound of Coach's whistle startled her awake. She looked, seeing Stiles standing up talking to Coach, though he kept blowing his whistle at the poor boy. "Hey, what's going on?" she nudged Stephanie's shoulder. "We're in traffic and Jared's sick. We really need to go to a rest stop, man." The caramel-haired girl said, not looking up from her book. Penelope looked at Jared, the poor kid looked so pale and green, even a bit clamy, it was pretty gross. She looked at Issac at Boyd, surprised to see both boys on edge. She looked back to Scott, even more surprised to see his face contorted in pain. She wanted to get up and check on her friend, but the sound of Jared spewing his breakfast all over his seat took her attention away from that.
Do you think that Penelope and Boyd would get along? Maybe bond over the death of their bestfriend? Let me know in a review!
