Chapter 15
"See you later!" The wolves shouted when they left the loft.
They were alone.
"So…" Derek began, after a minute of silence. "Are you hungry? Do you wanna eat something? Drink something?" He asked.
"Derek, maybe I should – maybe I should go? I – It's kind of-"
"Weird? Yup, it is." He admitted. He felt weird. He felt said and guilty and kind of happy because Anna had said she wouldn't leave town. She had said she wouldn't leave because of him.
"It shouldn't be…" She whispered and he raised an eyebrow.
"We've known each other for so long –"
"I know! But we haven't seen each other for so long and I thought you were dead and you… you changed." He said.
"You, too." She whispered and he raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, you have, Derek. You have grown up – you are more serious today. You had changed before you left, before the fire when you had… when she had died." She went on. "You had been so angry all the time…"
"I killed her, Anna. And then my new girlfriend killed my family by burning down our home." He glared at her.
"Derek …-"
"No, Anna. It is my fault they are dead." He looked down but she grabbed his face with both of her hands. He didn't stop her.
"Derek, look at me." She whispered. "It is not your fault. You are such a great person. Caring, loving, humble and honest. You didn't want all of this to happen. It just did…"
"No, Anna. I killed Paige."
"You released her… The bite killed her."
"Doesn't change the fact that she's gone." He whispered, still looking at Anna's green eyes.
She wasn't sure what to say. The look on his face nearly killed her. He was full of pain – sadness, anger and self-hatred.
"But you are still here, Derek. You are alive and not living the life you could live…You deserve to be happy. You have friends, you have a great pack. You are still here." Her voice broke. "You are here – with me."
She didn't expect him to react. She wanted him to be happy. She wanted him to live but she wasn't sure if he wanted that as well. She didn't know why she had said that even though she had meant it.
She let go of his face but he kept staring at her.
"Sorry…" She mumbled, blushing.
When he saw it, he just couldn't resist.
He leaned over and touched her cheek with his right hand, pulling her closer.
"Me, too."
Than his lips touched hers. Carefully at first. They were soft, even softer than he had imagined them to be. Her heart stopped for a second and just when he wanted to lean back, let go, she kissed him back. Passionately. Their eyes were closed, their bodies pressed against each other, still sitting at the table. Derek's hand grabbed her waist, his foot pushed the table away and he pulled her closer. She sat down on his lap, her hands around his neck.
Her mind was blank – his as well. They got lost in the moment.
Derek pulled Anna's body closer; grabbed her waist and hold her neck with the other hand. Their lips were still touching each other – their mouths opened to give their tongues space to play. Anna's head was spinning. Derek – his lips which were so soft and demanding – his strong, muscular chest which was pressing against her – his scent which was taking her breath.
His hands slid down her small figure, grabbing her butt to lift her up. He carried her to the couch – not letting go of her lips. Her hands were still around his neck, her fingers in his dark, messy hair.
He lay her down on the couch, carefully holding her. His arms resting next to her small, curvy body, he leaned over her. She pulled him closer when she grabbed the black shirt at his chest. He leaned in more and more, nearly laying on her. His lips wandered to her neck and down to her collarbone.
Anna rested her head on a pillow, moaning quietly when Derek's tongue played with her neck.
Derek wanted to kiss his way further down when his throat caught fire. He had forgotten the necklace which was resting right between her boobs. He pressed his eyes together, trying to suppress the pain.
Anna opened her eyes, letting loose of Derek. He sat up immediately, coughing.
"I'm sorry…" She whispered, putting the necklace under her shirt.
"No, it's –" He coughed again. "It's okay…" Anna's pulse calmed down from the intense kiss but started racing again when she realized what had just happened. She sat up, fixing her hair and her shirt. Derek felt better immediately when he was out of the necklace's reach. He grabbed Anna's hand. He wanted to kiss her again. His head was spinning – he was happy. He wanted this girl so much. It wasn't about the sex – it was just about holding her, touching her skin. Being with her.
"I – I need to go. It is late and –"
"And you have no car…" He ended her sentence, grinning.
"I can run." She refused to look at him and got up.
"Anna…" Derek wanted to hold her back.
"No, Derek. That – that was –"
"Great?" He ended her sentence again, still grinning.
"Wrong." She said instead.
"No it wasn't…" He said, saddened by her words.
Of course it wasn't – Anna wanted to continue! She wanted him so bad right now. He was still sitting on the couch, looking at her with his brown puppy eyes. The smile on his face was making her knees weaker than she could have ever imagined. His lips – his soft, red lips. She had to stare at them – how they formed this sexy smirk. He noticed her look and how she stared at his mouth.
"Don't leave." He whispered.
"Derek – I can't. I won't take the necklace of…" She said.
"I know – and I won't kiss you again if you don't want to. But don't leave. Stay."
"It's not a good idea, Derek. I have to go…" She could see the disappointment in his eyes. She could feel his heart ache – hers as well.
She had to go – she had to leave. This wasn't leading anywhere. Did she want him? Badly! But she couldn't. They were friends – they were family. He was an alpha and sleeping with an alpha? Bad idea! Especially when you are under the influence of wolfsbane.
"Anna –"
"Derek. We… we can't do this. I can't… This is –"
"A bad idea?" He sighed.
"Yes."
"I'll drive you home." Her heart broke when she saw the look on his face.
They hadn't said a word since they had left the loft.
They were sitting in Derek's car. They both didn't know what to say – what to think.
They had kissed.
They had made out.
They were friends.
They were family.
That was just so fucked up.
"I'm sorry. You know… lost it a bit I guess…" Derek mumbled while driving Anna to the nursing home.
"It is okay, Derek. Let's forget it…" She said, staring out of the window into the dark night.
"Yeah… "They both went silent again for a while.
"So, ehm – will you keep an eye on Peter?" Anna asked Derek.
"Sure… But we will have to keep an eye on you, too." He answered. Anna bit her lip nervously.
Derek noticed it and added quickly: "Will send Stiles and Isaac now and then to look after you."
Anna nodded. Her inner voice screamed that she wanted Derek to look after her. Every minute of the day and of the night. She sighed heavily.
"Are we okay?" Derek asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Sure." She whispered but he knew she was lying.
"You're lying, Anna." He mumbled.
"Derek – I – it is just – I don't know –"
"Don't think… tell me what you feel…" He whispered, looking at her while driving.
"What do you want me to tell you? That I liked the kiss? That I want to kiss you again? That it makes me crazy when you look at me that way?" She glared at him.
"Does it?" He smiled.
"You are an idiot…" She mumbled.
They had reached the nursing home and Derek stopped the car.
"Am I?" He kept looking at her.
"You are." She stated.
"So… you still wanna kiss me again?" His smirk was killing her...
Soo... that just happenend... what do you guys think? Liked it?
Do you want them to be together? REVIEW!
