Collin's POV

I sat fuming after hearing Shani's story about her conversation with Amun. While it made her feel uneasy it just pissed me off.

"What did you ever see in him?" I groused watching as she paced in front of me. She shrugged.

"I guess when he started showing interest in me my parents were so proud," she said smiling wistfully, "for the first time I had done something right. Part of me wanted to believe I loved him, to believe I was happy with him so that I didn't lose that with my parents." She gave a self-depreciating laugh. "Kind of pathetic isn't it?" I shook my head and tugged on her hand pulling her onto my lap. She sighed and buried her face in my neck.

"There's nothing wrong with wanting your parents' approval. And honestly they're idiots if they're not proud of you. You're beautiful and have more courage than anybody I know. Any parent should be proud to have you," I said threading my fingers through her hair.

She sniffed. "They're not idiots; they're just set in their ways. I've never really been one to follow tradition and that's really all they know," she said. Her whispered words against my neck sent chills down my spine and I could feel myself getting harder. I mentally rolled my eyes. You would be getting a boner when your girlfriend is pouring out her heart to you. She giggled.

"Collin, you're thinking with the wrong head," she said looking up at me and giving me a wicked little smile. I felt my cheeks heating up.

"I'm sorry babe, I really am listening. I can't control my baser instincts," I said with a wry smile. She nipped at my nose then kissed it.

"My wolf man," she said. I was about to lean in to kiss her when I heard a vibration and she jumped up. She reached to her pocket and grabbed her phone. I looked at the text from Carmen.

*Group date?!*

She looked at me questioningly. I shrugged. "Why not?"

She squealed. "I've never been on a group date before!"

"My poor baby, what have you done?" I asked caressing her hip. She stuck her tongue out at me and text Carmen back who quickly replied.

*YAY! Me, Bradykins, u, Colly-Col Micah and Liz *

"Whoa Micah and Liz?" I asked surprised. Shani giggled and text her back.

*Micah and Liz?!*

*lol yep! He needed back up. Liz wldnt go unless it was a group thingy*

*poor micah…this will b fun *

*rubs hands together, cue sinister music*

*haha*

"You guys are evil," I said shaking my head. She scoffed.

"You're one to talk. I've heard stories about you and Brady," she said raising an eyebrow. She's been hanging around Rachel too much.

I shrugged and gave her my innocent look, "I don't know what you're talking about."

She laughed. "I was regaled with stories today in between cartoon sessions. I know all about you setting the frogs free in biology." I laughed remembering that day. No one ever found out it was us and after that they only brought dead animals to the class.

"Wait a sec, cartoons?" I asked. She shrugged.

"I never really watched cartoons so the girls thought they'd help me relive a normal childhood." I caught the sad look and held her closer nuzzling her cheek.

"Don't worry, being around most of us you'll never have to grow up," I teased. She laughed and kissed me.

Ok so I did leave kind of a cliffhanger but I wanted you to look forward to meeting Micah and Liz. Don't worry all will be revealed in time...lol until next time my loves (which will not be another year and a half I promise!) Weiver!
