Chapter 21:

Walking from Sherman's house, Sophia had finally managed to make her way to the diner. Standing outside, Sophia stood against the side of the wall to catch her breath and compose herself before heading in. Sophia's mind was clouded with thoughts of Sydney, her parents relationship, the black wolf, Sophia being the white wolf, everything was hitting Sophia at once, all she could think about was how she was going to handle this all. Even more so, how were her father and she going to handle Sydney in their lives. This allowed Sophia to remember Sherman's words, and she too agreed that no one can know about Sydney, at least not yet, and especially no one should know before her father. Closing her eyes and taking in one last of fresh air, Sophia slowly exhaled the wind from her mouth and headed into the diner.

As soon as Sophia walked into the diner, she immediately made eye contact with Luke and both grew wide smiles as soon as both saw each other. Luke, Sean, and Randy were at the pool tables, with several other pack members, including Presley. As soon as both the girls made contact, Presley quickly, looked away, but not without an angry look on her face going unnoticed by several people, however, she still turned and walked over to a corner with a couple other pack members and engaged in their own personal conversation.

Sophia quickly walked up to Luke and wrapped her arms around his neck, while she cupped her face into the crook of his neck and shoulder and just hugged him tight and let out a sigh. Luke not at all surprised by her contact, however, he could tell this was no ordinary hug, and gave both Sean and Randy a concerned glance. With both arms wrapped around Sophia, one of Luke's hands started to caress her back, "hey, babe…you okay?"

Pulling away from his neck, but not his arms, Sophia had a smile on her face, "yeah. I just missed you."

"Oh." Luke knew she missed him, however, he also knew that she was not telling him everything. This past week, Luke had been getting strange vibes that Sophia was not telling him everything, however, he was trying to understand where she was coming from and most importantly he did not want to evade her thoughts, he knew for sure that was a way to piss her off. Sitting on the bar stool seat at one of the tables, Luke pulled Sophia into him, while she stood in-between his legs while he took a seat. "So your dad say anything this morning?"

With one arm wrapped around his neck and leaning into him Sophia replied, "no. I don't think my dad really wants to talk about you and me. But we'll see, because tonight…" giving him a pouting look, "I am sorry but I am staying in."

"What? I thought we was gonna go on a run tonight?"

"I'm sorry. But my dad is starting to forget what I look like and vice versa. Furthermore, Luke, I want to continue to date you, if my dad starts to see I am spending all my time with you and taking away from his father-daughter time, that will give him just another excuse to hate you…"

"He already hates me Sophia! I wanted…"

Both Sophia and Luke's light argument was interrupted by Presley coming up next to them, "hey Sophia."

Sophia looked at Luke with "what the hell" look, and looked back at Presley, "hey Presley…what do you want?"

"Nothing just seeing what you have been up to?"

A small wicked grin came across Sophia's face, after she looked back at Luke, who now shared a similar grin, she looked back at Presley, "Presley, obviously you took what I said to you last time we met in consideration…because if you hadn't you wouldn't be as nice to me as you are right now." Sophia could see Presley's light smile slowly turn to a cold look. "With that said, you don't have to acknowledge me, and I shouldn't have to acknowledge you. A simple nod of existence I think pretty many sums up are past history and I think it will suffice as our future. You and me don't have to bond, or have girl talk now, because I am with Luke or because I have flipped. We didn't like each other before, we don't have to pretend now." Presley continued to glare at Sophia. "But do keep in mind, that if you give me any shit, like I said before I will not hesitate to kick your ass." With a smile on her face, "okay…I'll see you later."

Still with a cold look on her face, "agreed." Now looking at Randy as if he was her prey she licked her lips, "you wanna go for a run?"

Randy slowly crept up beside Presley and wrapped one arm around her waist, "see you fellas later", and winked Sean, Luke, and Sophia who was still trapped in Luke's legs, goodbye and guided Presley out the door.

Turning in between Luke's legs so she was looking directly at him, "that's a match made in hell."

Luke gave her a small grin and light tone, "Sophia…I just wanna spend time with you."

Sophia looked at Luke with sad eyes, for she too wanted to spend time with him and knew that's all Luke wanted, "I know."

Both looked at each other and sent mental "I'm sorry's" across each other's minds for the little argument that they had. Luke standing from his seat, "well what time do you have to be back?"

Looking down at her watch, "not for a little bit…why?"

"Because there is something at my house I need to give you."

"You got me a gift?"

A smile growing on Luke's face and tapping Sean's fist with his as a normal person's wave goodbye, "later man", Luke and Sophia was out the door hand in hand.

Walking into Luke's room, Sophia was amazed as to how clean and neat it was. The walls were painted a dark, forest, green. The walls had several pieces of art, however, there were a couple posters intertwined, which helped to accentuate Luke's taste. The king size bed which was made and had about 12 pillows, and matching dresser, which had various pictures of his family and pack members on it, and night stands were all of a dark oak wood. While the two armchairs which each had a couple shirts dangling over the side of them were light brown, with his computer desk having various cd's scattered around it and Hope Chest at the end of his bed, in a light oak. Luke allowed Sophia to go into his room first, and when she was in he closed the door behind them and locked it, without Sophia noticing, she was too intrigued in Luke's room. This was the first time she had been in there.

Turning around to face Luke, "I am amazed that your room is so clean. I always pictured…" before Sophia could finish her sentence Luke had already placed his lips onto hers, making Sophia forget what she was talking about. Sophia wrapped her hands around his neck and brought Luke closer to her deepen the kiss.

Luke pulled away from Sophia just far enough as to when they were talking each other could feel one another's breath on the other's face, "we have maids."

"Oh." Pulling him into another kiss, and slightly pulling away, and under her breath, "where is everyone?"

"Won't be home for hours", Luke knew by Sophia's smile that was her sign of approval.

Sophia shoved Luke up against the wall while kissing him. Luke lifted her up against him with her legs around his waist, causing Sophia to release a whimper of excitement. Sophia reached her hand down between their bodies, both of them shuddering by the sound of the zipper. Luke not only looked shocked but also after Sophia reached into his jeans grabbing at him he let out his own moan of arousal. Luke turned them around and pushed Sophia up against the wall. She reached one arm up and grabed the wall behind her to steady herself, while gasping and panting.

After discarding their clothes and making their way to the bed, Sophiawas straddling Luke, kissing his chest and licking it all, as her mouth came down on his lips again, Luke couldn't help but get even more aroused when Sophia let out a growl of excitement allowing Luke to release one of his own. Turning her so hewas on top, Luke slowly moved her legs apart. As Luke made slow thrusts within Sophia, she held on to his back. But as Luke's thrusts quickened, and the moans and growls erupted, Sophia dug her nails and raked at his back,all thewhile Luke thrusted deeper and deeper, and Sophia digging deeper and deeper. With each move he thrusts inside her harder and harder, moans of pleasure escaped her mouth, while growls of approval escaped Luke's. Just as Luke could feel Sophia climax, and with one last thrust within her, with the sound of moans released from Sophia and Luke, Luke could slowly, feel blood trickle down his back.

Slowly Sydney walked up the porch steps. She had been waiting for this day for ten years. Now that this day had arrived part of her wished that she had another ten years. At first slowly, Sydney reached for the doorbell, then pulled back and turned and began to walk away. She thought about all what Sherman had said and all what Sherman told Sophia. She thought about how much her known presence was going to affect so many people, she had to see him…but it could ruin everyone's lives.

Slowly she turned around and reached her hand up to knock and pulled her hand back and held it against her chest. Sydney you have to do this you cannot hide anymore! She thought to herself. Closing her eyes, and taking in a deep breath, she released her hand from her chest and reached and pushed the doorbell.

After taking in one more last deep breath, slowly the door swung open, "what can I do for you?" He had already gotten out the statement before, he realized who he was looking at.

A small smile crept over Sydney's face, however quickly dissolved after she saw his…the shock and pain that came with it, but she knew she had to do this, "hey."

He just stood there jaw dropped, "oh my god."

Tears began to fill Sydney's eyes, "long time, no see, uh…Billy?"

REMINDER: Again "Billy" was actually "Buddy" in the series. I just changed the name because I did not like it in the series. He was Tyler's friend that helped burn down the house that John was in when the show aired.
