Chapter 2

Two days later, the four of them are on a Derek hunt. They (And when I say they, I mean Scott) need his help for the full moon tomorrow, but they can't find him anywhere. Scott calls the Alpha's phone again, but to no avail.

"I think we should split up." Lydia says after about fifteen minutes of randomly roaming the woods, "At least that way we'd cover more ground."

Stiles nods in agreement.

"Stiles, you and I can go this way," she continues, "And you two can go that way." She gestures off behind her.

Erica nods, "Sure, okay."

They split up, calling out Derek's name at random intervals. Erica stumbles alongside Scott, whose steps never seem to falter on the uneven ground.

Scott can feel the tension between him and Erica, and he hates it. He doesn't want it to be awkward like this, which was one of the reasons he never told anyone his feelings for her. Clearly, the only thing to do about this was to talk about it.

"Okay, so they've obviously told you." Scott says, breaking the silence. The sudden sound of his voice scares Erica and she stumbles. Scott reaches out and catches her by the elbow. "You okay?"

"What? Oh yeah, grand. Fine. Yeah…told me what?" she stutters.

Scott sighs and stops walking so she stops beside him, trying not to grin. She knows exactly what he's talking about, but she thinks it would be better if she played dumb for a minute.

"There's no not-awkward way to say this, so I'm just gonna say it." He pauses for effect, "I like you, and I'm pretty sure you like me too, and everyone is just waiting for it to happen… waiting for us to happen."

Erica leans back a little from his intense gaze on her face, "I know." She says softly.

"Do you want it to happen?" Scott asks, an adorably shy smile on his face. Erica nods.

All of a sudden raindrops start to fall and Erica gasps in surprise. She glances upwards where huge grey storm clouds can be seen through the foliage.

"Seriously? This is just ridiculous now." Erica complains.

Scott grabs her hand and pulls her after him as he runs through the forest towards shelter.

The rain gets heavier and heavier and then through the haze, Erica spots the Hale's mansion. She laughs happily and they race to the door.

It's dark inside, but Scott pulls her towards him and sits her down on the stairs beside him without letting go of her hand for a second.

"Oh my God, I cannot believe that just happened!" Erica moans and she tries to get her wet hair off her face.

Much to her surprise, Scott brushes the rest of her hair behind her shoulder and kisses her softly on the lips. Erica freezes for a moment in complete shock.

"I'm sorry," Scott murmurs, backing off a little, "But one of us had to do it."

"What? No don't apologise!" Erica says quickly and she kisses him back, carefully at first, but soon enough they have their arms around each other.

Out of no-where someone coughs behind them. Scott pulls away quickly to see Derek standing in the doorway of the front room, watching them with a sly grin. "Looks like you two got very bored of looking for me."

Erica tries not to look embarrassed, "We're also kind of soaked, so if you have any towels or anything…" she hints.

Derek nods, "First room on your left, in the wardrobe."

Erica stands and Scott follows her. She takes out her phone to ring Lydia. "We're in Derek's, he's here too."

She hears Stiles mutter something irritably in the background. "We'll be there soon." Lydia promises and then hangs up.

Scott hands Erica a towel and she starts to dry her hair. As she does so, she asks innocently enough, "So are we like dating now?"

Scott freezes before glancing at her carefully with a careful smile, "If you'd like to."

Erica nods again and he smiles properly now. This time Erica doesn't even know how it happens, all of sudden she's in his arms and they're kissing again.

All too soon Scott pulls away. "Derek's threatening to kick us out into the rain if we don't behave." He smiles.

Erica laughs, "He's just jealous." She says, loud enough that Derek can hear. She hears him growl in reply along with a childish sounding, "I am not!"

Scott takes her hand and receives her attention once more.

"What are you doing tonight?" She asks pulling away to fold the towels and place them carefully on the window sill.

"I don't know…do you have any ideas?" Scott asks with a beautiful sexy smile.

"Oh, a couple." Erica teases lightly.
