Chapter 3: First Lesson
~Hunter's POV~
I felt Bree pull up at my house, so I closed my book and walked outside to greet her. I must say, she was looking really good today. It was unseasonably warm, which was a little strange, considering it had been cold earlier in the week. The temperature was in the mid- 80s, and Bree sure was dressed for the weather. She had on a red halter top that, well, halted about an inch above her bellybutton. She wore low-rise dark jean shorts that made me wonder if she had on any underwear. My thoughts were put to rest when I saw a hot pink band creep over the top of the shorts when she bent back into her car, Breezy.
Bree pulled her shorts back up and turned around. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "I didn't see you!" I smirked and stood aside to let her in. Bree gave me a luxurious smile and stepped into the house.
"I made some tea," I said unnecessarily. Bree had already smelled it. "I'll go get it. Sit down," I said, motioning toward the couch. "I'll be right back." I walked into the kitchen and leaned against the counter. I felt really hot and out of breath, even though I had the air conditioner on full blast. What the hell was going on with me? It's not like I'm attracted to Bree or anything. I mean, she's really good looking, but I've got Morgan. Did Bree put a spell on me? I laughed silently. Now there's a stupid thought. Or was it?
I brought the tea out of the kitchen and into the living room, only to find the room empty. I frowned and sensed Bree in… my room?? I hurried up the stairs and found her examining the very few books in my bookcase. I cleared my throat and Bree turned. "Hey," she said, smiling. "I heard you come up the stairs. Thought you wouldn't mind if I looked around. It's funny." She smiled again. "I've been here so many times, but I have never been upstairs." Bree looked around my room. "Looks like you didn't have much time to settle in or unpack." I looked around and felt heat rise to my cheeks. I had been so intent on investigating Cal and Selene that when I first arrived in Widow's Vale, I just threw my clothes into drawers and did the same with my books. I didn't arrange the books in the bookcases. Most of them were still in boxes. I hadn't put up any pictures or anything. Only lots of candles. Bree raised here eyebrows and sat down in my bed. "I think it's kinda cozy."
"What?!" I said in disbelief. "I don't like it at all. I need some type of interior decorator." Bree laughed.
"Yeah, I don't think much of it either. Just trying to make you feel good." Bree kept laughing, but I stopped. Was she flirting with me? "Are you okay?" she asked me, frowning slightly. I nodded.
"Let's get started, why don't we?" Bree got up and followed me down the stairs. We settled onto the couch. "Now I know you know about the Seven Clans, but we're gonna go a little more in depth. This is the stuff I did with Morgan a few months back. I'm teaching you in the same style I taught her."
"Sure, I'm in," Bree said. So for the next couple of hours, we studied the clans. Bree seemed to actually take an interest. This surprised me. When I learned this stuff, it bored the hell out of me. At the end of the lesson, I quizzed her, and she got every question right. Bree WAS serious about having some sort of career in Wicca. I always saw her as a little bit of a ditz, always checking out her hair, make-up, and clothes in the bathroom at school. Guess I underestimated her.
"So, Mr. Niall," Bree said at the end of the lesson, "what's up for next time?"
"Probably some work with herbs. They're important in the Wiccan world. Maybe you can even start an herb garden."
"Cool," she replied. "Guess I'll see you next time." Then she did something that left me utterly shocked and practically speechless. She kissed me. Yeah, it was on the cheek, but still. "Thank you so much for doing this." She leaned over and kissed me long and slowly on the cheek. I jerked back.
"Well, um, your welcome, uh… Bree." I caught me breath. "But you shouldn't do that again. Both of us have a boyfriend and girlfriend. It's not right."
Bree smiled. "Of course. Forgive me for that. It won't happen again." She raised her eyes to mine and smiled wickedly." Actually, I hope it will." Before I could react, she touched my cheek and walked out the door, leaving me feeling bewildered.
