The Talk
(PPOV)
The silence was really starting to piss me off.
"I just ran into him, Paul." Sam said as if it was that simple with a side glance at John, how seem to tense up a bit.
"And…?" I asked wanting to hear the whole story. Sam just gave me an annoyed look while John just kind of clamed back up.
"Paul, I just ran into him." Sam firmly stated again and I just raised an eyebrow at him. I was not buying that answer. To me it was just a load of bull.
"Paul…" John softly said my name drawing my attention to him. "…I was out for my morning run and I kind of just ran into Sam on my way back home." John said to me with pleading eyes as he kept eye contact with me as he was telling me all of this while a light blush crossed his checks. Waiting to see my reaction to what he had just told me.
I quickly chanced a glance to Sam who nodded his head in agreement. I realized something during breakfast that John only talked to me! With Sam all he did was smile and nod, but he spoke to me! To say that it mattered to me would be an understatement. My imprint only really opened up to me, I couldn't help but smile at the thought and then there was all the freaky imprinting emotions that moved my mind down into a romantic level. Fuck me! Stupid imprinting bullshit!
"So John how did Sam know I was here?" I questioned him just because I knew he was shy to people and he maybe my imprint but I'm Paul Meraz! The jackass of the year!
"I was walking back to my place when I ran into John when I asked him if he had seen you around he simply told me that you are living with him." Sam answered sensing John's discomfort to speaking around a stranger. I could also tell Sam was a little hurt by the fact that John wasn't comfortable around him. What the fuck! Sam raised an eyebrow to the living together part of his statement. Great he's jumping to conclusions. Well he was jumping to some conclusions. I hope he's not thinking we did it. Leah would have a field day with this.
"John, why were you out this early in the morning?" I continued to question because I was curious to know. After all he was my imprint and I deserve to know this type of shit.
"John was out for a morning run and like he said before and I ran into him on my way back to my place." Sam replied as John gave him a grateful smile in return. Damnit Sam let my imprint speak!
"Thanks Sam." I fanned mock gratitude earning me a glare from my Alpha.
After we had our fill John went to start the dishes. Sam and I quickly said our goodbyes and we were out the door ready to begin patrol. I made sure that we walked a little ways from the house before we phased. No need for John to know our furry secret yet anyways.
I started to let my anger and rage burn through me as I shifted into my wolf form. As I was shifting I was hit with worst kind of pain. I guess this was my punishment for cheating on my imprint. Damnit, this shit hurts! I let my mind wondered to me fucking what's her face, that bitch was the reason my shifting hurt and what happened earlier with John. Hmm…John, shit he was so fucking delicious.
"You cheated on your imprint and molested him in his sleep!" Sam shouted in disbelief at me.
"Sam, I thought John had moved away and he liked me touching him!" I lamely defended myself. Shit I really fucked up!
After a few minutes into the patrol of Sam's silent treatment, Sam was finally going to start his interrogation.
"What was that about?" Sam questioned in a worried tone. I didn't feel like explaining so I just replayed my memories for Sam to see. Then I felt Sam shock and surprise that John figured all of it out without really trying to.
"I don't believe it! He thinks we are good for the tribe and not some gang!" Sam said excitedly, I just kind of stared at him in disbelief at what he had just said. That's all he says. My imprint just figured out our tribe's biggest secret and that's all he has to say about it.
"Wow Sam! I'm starting to wonder if you have a crush on my imprint." I growled out as I finished my joke but a part of me hated the idea of it.
He was mine.
Mine!
I may not like the fact that I imprinted on a guy but he was still mine and I'm a very selfish bastard! I may not want him in a romantic way on my own free will but that doesn't mean I like the idea of him being with anyone else in a romantic way. Like I said before I'm a selfish bastard just because I don't want him doesn't mean someone else can and I unfortunately have the imprint bond on my side so guess what bitches he's mine.
"Paul! Don't be stupid! It's just going to be easier when you tell him and I'll let the pack know to be careful around him. Last thing we need is one wrong word and he puts everything together." Sam clarified an annoyed tone to his voice.
"Don't you think it's a little too late for that? I mean he already figured everything out without even trying." I retorted to him in a semi irritated tone.
"I know that Paul but he did it jokingly meaning he doesn't think they're real." Sam retorted letting his anger lace his tone.
"Whatever." Was my oh so intelligent response.
"Are you going to tell him about us and the fact that you imprinted on him?" Sam asked but his tone was weird almost hopeful at the thought John would know about us.
"I'm not telling him shit! After all I'm going to be his fucking step-brother!" I harshly answered him unable to control my anger that the imprinting intensified at not being with him.
"Paul you cannot deny the imprinting it's to strong and what happened this morning I thought you would see that." Sam stated the obverse to me and it's not like I didn't feel the pull.
"I know Sam but remember an imprinter is whatever the imprintee wants them to be and since John is going to be my step-brother will only have brotherly feelings for each other." I stated with torn feelings. I'm happy as all get out at the fact I won't have to be his lover but then there is the pain of thinking like that and the pain of me not being able to please him in that way. Stupid fucked up imprinting emotions! As I remember the events that happened earlier this morning.
"Paul I don't think it will work like that." Sam stated in a calm voice trying to get me to see that imprinting was absolute and in a way it was. But I'm a fighter and I won't go down without a fight.
"Sam as long as I am close to John and he is happy then I satisfy the role of imprinter. After all aren't we whatever our imprint needs us to be?" I try and showed Sam my reasoning and I think he got my point because he was going to drop it. I think.
"Fine Paul, do whatever you think is best." Sam said in a defeated voice. Then I realized that we weren't heading to Emily's.
"Hey Sam aren't we going to Emily's?" I asked wondering why we were going to just start our patrol right off the bat.
"Why? We already ate and I mean you can't be hungry in just that short amount of time." Sam asked clearly confused.
"Never mind Sam, I just wanted to socialize with the pack before we got on our patrol." I stated with a bit of a whine.
"You wanted to socialize with the pack? You wanted Leah to make more gay jokes about you and the fact that your imprint will soon be your step-brother. You really want to be around for that Tinkerbell?" Sam questioned. Wait, Thinkerbell? God damnit not him to!
"Not you to Sam." This can't be fucking happening.
"Sorry Paul just trying to make a point here." Sam stated with a chuckle. He was fucking chuckling at Leah's nick name for me. Fuck!
"Well you made it! How did you meet up with John this morning?" I asked because it was never really explained before.
"Like I said before we ran into each other when I was heading back to my place." Sam stated but he didn't replay the memory for me and I was just a little bit pissed off because of the damn imprinting.
Then again it wasn't really the imprinting that was making me feel this way. Well maybe a little, but I'm actually starting to really care for John. I mean it's not to like the guy, he's just likeable. What really is a pain in the ass though is the fact I want to just be his friend and there is a part of me who wants to be his lover. Fuck me! I'm royally screwed!
Patrol ended quickly and that meant that I could go home to my imprint, fuck that sounded just so natural and I liked it. That's when I smelt it. Food! Coming from my new home, that could only mean one thing John was cooking lunch and by god I was just salivating already. What would happen when I had the food in front of me? I don't know but it will not end well and when you have a hungry werewolf with the promise of food it normally doesn't end well.
"What smells so good?" Fuck I forgot Sam was still with me! Now I'm going to have to share with him and fuck I hate to share with anyone! Well that's not true mom and John are the only people I'll ever share with and with that I sighed.
"I think that John is fixing or fixed lunch." I informed my Alpha and I could mentally picture his perking up at the information. Great I get to share my food with my Alpha and normally I'm okay with this but this is not any food we're talking about here! This is John's cooking and by god it's like a trip to heaven.
"Sam, do you want to come eat lunch with me at my place?" I asked knowing full well the answer.
"Yes!" Sam replied a medially as he quickened his pace to my house. I was starting to really freak out about my hard ass Alpha's behavior.
"Sam, are you feeling okay? You're acting really out of character." I asked.
"Paul, it's just that John's cooking is betters then Emily's! Please don't tell her!" Sam nervously rushed out and was begging at the end of his little confession. I know my imprints cooking is better than the leech lover's and Emily's, but I thought that it was just the effects of imprinting talking and to hear my Alpha actually admit it made me do a little fist pump. Then the evil thought came to me that I had information that my Alpha wants to keep secrete and I could hold it over his head for like a few days maybe. Oh the possibilities!
"Paul! You are not allowed to tell Emily I said that, that's an order!" Sam said in his Alpha tone. Damnit! There goes my source of entertainment for the next few days, fucker!
Once we got close to my new home we quickly phased back and walked the rest of the way there. There was no need to give John any clue to what we are just not yet anyway. I opened the back door of the house that lead to the kitchen with Sam following close behind me. I stopped dead in my tracks just in the doorway as my eyes took in what was happening in the kitchen.
"Holy fuck of a whore!" I said in a shout!
