This chapter contains a lot of Dru and Graves…okay all just Dru and Graves.

I really tried to portrait Dru like she is in the book, but I might have went a little overboard on the lovesick girliness (yeah I just made up that word).

Anyways thanks again for the reviews and adds, they make me :)

Right and I don't own any part of the Strange Angels series... :(

Chapter 5

It's six am and I have yet to fall asleep

The reason being, a stupid half wulfen half human named Graves. After we got back to the room he went straight to bed not even bothering to say goodnight to me.

So now I'm laying here thinking of all the possible things that could have went wrong during the kiss. I mean he kissed me back right, so he must have some sort of feelings for me. What if I'm a terrible kisser and he was so grossed out he didn't what to talk to me again.

This is crazy. I'm Dru, I've been fighting things that go bump in the night almost my whole life. I am not some girl who gets worked up over a guy! Who does he think he is, ignoring. Enough is an enough.

With that thought I threw my blankets back and stormed over to Graves' room. I almost kicked the door down I was so furious.

"What's your problem," I demanded once I entered Graves' room. "Is there a reason you're not talking to me?"

Graves, who nearly jumped out of his skin when I first tore my way in, was now too busy rubbing the sleep from his eye to look at me.

"What are you talking about?" He mumbled.

"I'm talking about how after the kiss you haven't even looked at me once! What the hell Graves, did I do something wrong"

Graves almost shot out of bed when I said that.

"No!" He pretty much shouted "No, you did nothing wrong. You're perfect. It's just…god I don't know Dru."

My fury was slowly dissipating.

"Graves talk to me."

"Alright, the thing is that you don't have time for me-"

I cut him off quickly "What are you talking about! We share a freakin' room and you follow me around all day."

I was starting to get angry again.

"That's not what I'm mean," Graves nearly yelled

I could tell he was getting frustrated, so I decided it might be best to just listen and keep my mouth shut.

"What I'm trying to say is that you don't have time for me to cloud things up for you. You need to focus on your training and the whole saving the world from the boogey man. I can't take any of your attention away that. Right now it's the most important thing."

"Are you done?" I questioned lazily.

I thought it was going to something like he didn't have feelings for me. This I could handle.

Graves looked up at me, surprised that I wasn't taking this as seriously as him.

"Dru you-"He tried to example.

"Shut up, it's my turn to speak now." I state coolly sitting on the bed.

"I'm a big girl Graves. I have been dealing with this shit my whole life. I know you feel this need to protect me all the time, like it's your job to make my life easier. This though, this hiding what we have because it's not a good time, is not make my life easier. There may never be a right time Graves. We don't know if we'll make it through the night, so why wait for later when we have now."

I reached for his hand, slowly intertwining our fingers together.

"Because Graves when I'm with you I get to escape from all the darkness and just feel whole again."

I looked up at him, trying to read his reaction to my little speech.

I quickly got my answer though when he brought our interlocked hands to his mouth kissing the back of my and my knuckles.

"So you're saying we should live in the moment." He whispered, his lips grazing over my beat and broken knuckles with each word. Sending shivers down my spine.

All I could do was nod.

He brought our hands to rest back on the bed. "At this moment I think you should go back to bed. Augie is going to be whipping you all over the floor in a couple of hours at least you can be well rested.

"That's not what I'm feeling at this moment" I said shaking my head.

And with that I pretty much jumped on top on Graves.

"No, at this moment I just want to be with you." I breathed.

Bring my lips slowly down to his.

He responded to the kiss like it was just as natural as breathing.

I bit his lower lip begging for him to let me deepen the kiss. He granted my wish, letting our tongues dance with one another.

Graves slowly pulled back causing me to whimper at the lost of his lips

Instead, they were replaced on my neck where he left trail of kisses.

I gasped in surprise and pleasure when he bit my neck only to cover it in cool soft kisses after.

We continued to kiss and pet. Not going too far, knowing that we would both have a hard time stopping.

Later, when we both were out of breath, we just laid there wrapped in each other's arms.

"So that dip shit you were holding out for, does he know you like him?" Graves questioned, petting my hair slowly as I rest my head on his chest listening to the steady beat of his heart.

I knew he was smiling just by the sound of his voice.

"Oh, I think he knows." I replied, kissing him quickly on his neck, right on the little red hickey I left him. He's not the only one who could bite.

We both quickly fell asleep neither one of us looking forward to having to leave our little get away.

So that's chapter 5, a little steam between Dru and Graves. I know some of you were crossing your fingers for a lemon, but it's rated T. If you want me to make a one-shot off this chapter I might consider it or if you want to write one LET ME KNOW either way.
