Thirty-Seven

I stood in front of the mirror and frowned, I never once had to try hard with Derek but this was our proper first date really, we had never had a date, it was usually sneaking around. I knew I didn't have to try being that he was already in love with me. If it wasn't for that I would be panicking a hundred times more than I already was. "Felicity," Freya yelled. "I can smell your anxiety from here."

"Stop smelling me then freak," I insulted back. I heard footsteps and smiled amused, how to get Freya out of her room, my bedroom door opened and she stepped in. "I'm freaking out."

"I can smell," she mused. "Why are you so panicked? I mean you are both basically married anyway." Freya flopped herself down on my bed I stared at her biting my lip. "I mean it's not like it's your first date." I stared at her. "Wait. Is it?"

"Yes," I mumbled. I sat on the bed and stared at her. "We never had a date, we snuck around, out the house, away from the town, we snuck around never really a proper date. I just I don't know what to expect."

"Lissa he's crazy about you," she smiled. "You could literally shoot the man a billion times and he would still come running knowing you were hurt or in trouble. He's completely dedicated to you."

"Really?" I asked biting my lip.

Freya smiled and brushed my hair behind my ear, "listen to me, your wise younger sister" she giggled. "The first time I saw you with him, you were at your bedroom window, he was outside waiting for you. He wanted you to jump but you were scared he wouldn't catch you, you jumped and he caught." I smiled as I remembered the memory. "The look on his face," she shook her head. "It makes me jealous that somebody doesn't look at me like that. It was pure love, admiration, fondness and slight obsession, I'll never forget that look and let me tell you he still looks at you like that every single day."

"You are good at pep talks Freya," I whispered I leant over and kissed her head. "You are the best sister and twin I could have asked for."

"Thanks," she smiled. "Just wear what is comfortable."

I hugged her, "listen you said you wanted someone to look at you like Derek does me, somebody does," I told her, she looked at me confused. "Scott. He loves you, he watches too, just you don't always see it. Do you love him?"

"I don't know," she admitted. "I mean I don't really know if what I feel is love."

"What's the first thing you think of when you wake up?"

"Scott."

"The last thing you think of before going to sleep?"

"Scott."

I laughed, "are you thinking about him right now?"

"Yes."

"Then little sister you have your answer, I think sometimes you are afraid, scared of what you feel, and it's okay because if your heart breaks it sucks." I nodded at her. "It's one of the most painful things in our world to give your heart to someone and they break it. But it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all."

"Enough talking," she said softly. "Let's get you ready for your date with Derek." I smiled and nodded. I wasn't going to bring it up to her again, I knew she had always struggled with her feelings, she was closed off when it came to them, and I was lucky that I was always honest about my feelings, but that could have been bad as well. She stood up and raided through my closet and she stopped 5 minutes later, "wow no wonder you are always in my wardrobe."

I stared at her unimpressed. "You have my clothes in your wardrobe."

She stared at me unapologetically. "How about we just get a joint wardrobe?" She asked grinning.

"What so you can steal the rest of my clothes?" She walked out my room but I could hear her muttering about it, I followed her and sat on her bed, as she went through her wardrobe I could see almost all of my clothes in her wardrobe, I kicked my leg out and booted her, she growled and I laughed, "most of my clothes are in there." She shrugged. "Maybe I should start putting a lock on my wardrobe and draws."

"Please don't," Freya pouted. I rolled my eyes, "please, I have no clothes, I destroy them in my werewolf faze if you haven't noticed I tend to run around naked a lot."

"I do notice Freya," I said rolling my eyes. I shook my head, "well maybe your werewolf and you should learn to keep clothes on your body. Or better yet just stay in control. Anyway you shouldn't even be shifting into a wolf anymore. I mean you can control your transitions. You can stay werewolf rather than going full wolf."

"I like my wolf though," Freya sighed.

"You make it sound like she's another person," I said. I pushed past my sister and began to search through her closet, I picked out a white top with stars on and a skirt, I stripped off my clothes and put the top and skirt on and I looked at my sister. "Good?"

"Sit down," she ordered. I did as she said and she brushed my hair and grabbed some clips and placed them in my hair, she began to pin it back. "This isn't hurting your head right?"

"No," I bit my lip. She nodded and then grabbed hair spray, "I don't want makeup."

"I wasn't planning to," she sighed. "You look better without it, I've told you a million times before that you don't need makeup you are beautiful without it."

"Then why do you plaster your face in that crap?" I asked turning to look at her. She shook her head, I turned around and flicked her, "we have the same face you know?" She laughed, "if you don't stop wearing makeup I will magically get rid of it."

"It's no fun now that you have powers," she frowned.

I laughed, "it evens out now," I smirked. "All those times you've used werewolf strength on me, bitch it's going to be payback time."

"Girls!" Mom yelled.

I ran downstairs and Freya ran after me I saw mom at the door and Derek was stood there, "you look beautiful Felicity," he said looking me up and down.

I blushed and bit my lip, I bent down and put my shoes on and walked over to him, we was just about to leave the house when I heard a voice, "wait," dad ordered. I turned to face him, "this is my baby's first date and I don't even get to do the over protective daddy thing?" He pouted. "I haven't even gotten to the point where he's much older than you either." I rolled my eyes. "Now Mr you hurt my daughter and I will hunt you down and kill her."

"Her?" Freya and I echoed.

"I mean you," he said sheepishly. "Get her back by 10."

"Nope," Derek said. I laughed. "I'll get her back by 12." Dad frowned, "if it's 10 then it ruins the whole date, now don't you want your daughter to have a magical first date?" Dad cocked his head to the side and frowned. "I mean we wouldn't want it to be a disappointment."

"No," he sighed. "Have her back by 12."

I leant up and kissed dad on his check, "bye mom, dad, Freya, I'll be home later," I told them. Derek grabbed my hand and we walked towards his car, as we reached it, he pressed me to the car.

"You look absolutely breathtaking," he whispered. He pressed his lips to mine and I kissed him back pressing my whole body to his. "Absolutely beautiful."

"Thank you," I smiled blushing.

He looked at me, "you blushed," he said stroking my cheek. "I don't think I've ever made you blush." I bit my lip.

"Hey can you teach me how you did that to my dad?" I asked curiously. He opened the door and I got in he shut it and walked around the other side and got in. "Like seriously Derek, I want to know how to twist my dad into doing what I want."

Derek began driving, "babe he already does," he shook his head. "All you and Freya have to do is bat your eye lashes and your dad drops at your feet." I shook my head. "He does, you just don't see it."

"If you say so," I shrugged.

"Babe, your dad shot me a lot," Derek said. "So did your mother. So the fact they agree to let you go on this date is something. Although they were against it for the magic, now it's just protective parenting." We puled into the car park and I frowned slightly, "we are going roller blading."

"What?" I asked.

"You heard."

"Derek I can barely stand on two feet when they are flat on the floor and you want to put me on wheels?" I asked raising an eyebrow. He nodded and I laughed, I got out the car and jumped onto his back, he grabbed the back of my legs and we began to walk. "I'm sure it was just so you could hold me against you huh?"

He laughed, "babe I don't need roller blading to get your body on mine," he smirked.

I pressed my lips to his ear and blew into it, "who says I would ever let you touch me," I whispered. His hands snaked to my bum and he pinched it, I squealed and he laughed, "I think we both know that I can't be without your touch." I kissed under his earlobe, he twisted me around so I was now facing him. I kissed him softly, "we best be having some us time soon, we haven't since" I trailed off.

"Since I took your innocence," he teased. I blushed which made him laugh, "don't worry we will have our time. Freya promised to cover for you." I grinned I loved my sister sometimes. "Now lets go I want us to have some fun."

I nodded, I placed my feet back on the floor and we went to rent the skates, "size?" The attendant asked.

"6 and 8," Derek answered. The attendant handed it to us and Derek paid I didn't bother arguing about money because I knew he wouldn't have any of it, so I didn't bother offering it. We sat down and put the skates on in an instant we were on the track rolling around I couldn't stop the smile that appeared on my face.

"I love seeing that smile on your face, reminds me of one of the first days I saw you," Derek said. "Your smile was so bright like the brightest I've seen it. You were laughing about something."

"I think you saw me before I saw you," I told him. He nodded, "well we are making up for it now." I laughed. "Come enough chatting let's race."

Roller blading was fun we had stayed there until closing, he then drove us through the drive thru at McDonalds and grabbed our normal order, he took us to his place as we walked through his door I went running over to his bed and sat down. I looked around his loft and grinned. "You finally replaced the chair!" I laughed.

"I did," he laughed. He sat on the bed and handed me the food and I began eating, "it was time. I didn't need a broken chair, saying that the only people that come here are you."

"Aww I feel special," I teased. I began eating once I had finished I tossed the trash to the side, I laid down and watched Derek eat. "Do you think Freya is closed off?"

"What?" He asked confused. I raised an eyebrow, "Freya is a nob."

I slapped his chest, "dude she's my sister," I sighed. "We was talking earlier, do you think she is closed off?"

"No, not really," he said. "Freya was hurt Felicity, whoever gave her that injection to turn her into a full wolf, it hurt her. Whoever did manage to inject her it was someone close to her, I bet she knows who too. She doesn't let people in Felicity, she's guarded. I would recognise that." Derek smiled. "But I also know Scott, and he is bringing her out of her shell. You know your sister because you feel everything that she does too. Just give her time turning wolf isn't easy."

"Have you ever turned full wolf?" I asked curiously.

"Yes," he nodded. "I'd rather not go into that." He put his rubbish on the floor and pressed his lips to mine, "now enough talking about that."

I straddled his legs and grinned, "let's put that mouth to good use."
