Imprinting Is Like Getting Punching In The Face
It was moving time. My parents had found Chloe and me an apartment last week and had gotten it for us. I was surprised at how fast they got the apartment and that they were letting me go freely. They were supposed to beg me to stay with them for another year not kicks me out because I got my girlfriend knocked up.
"Come on Ian! Use those wolf muscles. You've got them for a reason!" Chloe teased me while she was sitting on the couch while and carried my dresser down the stairs. I gritted my teeth and made sure not to drop it on my foot again. Why did mom have to stuff everything into this dresser?
"Just because your pregnant is the only reason you're not helping us," I grunted before heaving the dresser out the front door. Danny and my dad were busy loading my truck up with my things next to Chloe's already loaded things. I put it down next to them and hurried back inside.
"Ian, I'm hungry," Chloe stated as soon as I reentered the house. I sighed. Chloe was starting her cravings now. I glanced at her now seeable stomach. She had a little bump now where the baby was growing inside her. "Stop looking at my stomach and get me a banana smoothie with chocolate chips in it, oh, and get me some cheese dip," she demanded.
I complied with her wishes immediately and started to fix her food up. "Oh, Ian! Scratch that, I want apple dumplings with whip cream on top and turkey bacon!" Chloe yelled from the living room. I sighed and finished up the smoothie that I had made and put it in the fridge for later then started on my new project.
"Ian, help me with this mirror!" my mom yelled at me from upstairs in my room. I sighed again and put down whip cream. I headed out of the kitchen but got intercepted by Chloe before I could get near the stairs.
"Where is my food?" she exclaimed, crossing her arms and glaring up at me. I grabbed a fistful of my hair and tried to restrain myself from banging my head against the wall.
"My mom needs my help. Can you please make it yourself? I've still got a lot of stuff to move to the apartment," I said, getting ready for her to freak out on me or something. I wasn't disappointed.
"Why can't Danny or your dad move the things? Are you implying that only women can cook in the kitchen? You are such a sexist pig!" Chloe screamed at me. As I coward up against the wall, I watched Chloe tear up before almost tackling me to the ground in a hug.
"Um, mom you'll have to get someone else to help!" I yelled up to my mom as I tried to comfort Chloe. Chloe had her arms wrapped around my neck and was crying onto my shoulder, blubbering nonsense about a pig or something.
"I love you, I love you so much," she chanted before reaching up and smothering me with kisses. I struggled with her for a moment trying to get back up before someone came in while Chloe was sexual assaulting me.
"Chloe, this isn't the time for this or the place. My parents are here and my best friend. Can't you wait until we get to the apartment?" I said desperately, listening to see if anyone was coming. I had to keep my head above water here or else we'd have to kick mom out of my room for the rest of the evening.
"No, not really," she mumbled before repositioning herself over me so she was straddling my waist as she kissed my neck. I groaned and grabbed the leg of one of the table stands. The hands off policy was much needed right now. I felt twitchy and hyperaware of everything going on to my body at the moment.
"IAN! CHLOE! Self control please!" my mother screeched when she came down the stairs two minutes after my twitchiness started. Chloe was lying under me and neither of us had a shirt on. My face heated up while Chloe tried to hide herself behind me.
"This is where all the trouble started. You have to excise control or the two of you will have a dozen little children running around," mom scolded as we put our shirts back on. Chloe gave her a sheepish grin before going into the kitchen to look for something to eat.
"In my defense, she attacked me. These mood swings are a killer by the way. How do you women deal with this stuff?" I said, hoping to distract her.
"I'm not sure; take it out on our husbands I guess. I remember when I was pregnant with you, I screamed at Paul for stealing the last cookie then locked him out of the house all night," mom exclaimed thoughtfully. I sniffed and turned away from her. Chloe has done that to me but she didn't let me back in until I bought her two more bags of cookies.
I sighed yet again and went back to work. The sooner we got all this moved, the sooner Chloe and I could be alone in our new home, with no one there, by ourselves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Isn't this the cutest little kitchen? You'll have plenty of room to move about and you've got a beautiful view of the forest!" mom gushed, running around our three room apartment. I glanced around and silently approved of the place. It was all new since it was built six months ago and very clean.
The kitchen and the living room were connected. A hallway led to the only bedroom and the only bathroom. The bedroom and the bathroom were across from each other. It was a good place to start out at.
"Well, load in the last of the things boys then we can eat," dad said before sitting down on the floor for his "relaxing time".
"Wait, you are eating here?" I exclaimed, glancing over at Chloe as she ventured back into our bedroom. She saw me looking at her and winked at me before continuing her exploring of the apartment. I swallowed and made a move to follow her.
"Oh, no you don't! We've got work to do," Danny stated, grabbing my arm and steering me away from the bedroom. I groaned and whined the whole time we unloaded my and Chloe's things. Danny looked like he was about to pull my head off by the time we finished.
"I'm sorry but I've got to get home. Dad wants me to help with dinner tonight," Danny said, excusing himself from dinner. I rolled my eyes at him and shuffled into the kitchen to eat with my parents. I sat beside Chloe and held her hand under the table.
Dinner passed by slowly and I didn't even enjoy the food for once. I could be enjoying Chloe's company right now alone but noooo. Mom wanted us to have a family moment. How inconsiderate can she be?
Finally my parents left. Chloe plopped down on the couch and gently patted her pooch stomach. I grinned at her and sat beside her. Chloe scooted closer to me and placed her hand on my thigh while her other hand stroked my stubble (mom didn't let me shave this morning).
"God, I love you so much," I exclaimed before leaning down to kiss her. Chloe immediately pressed up against me and grabbed the sides of my face. "Can we go to the bedroom now and test out the bed?" I panted, pulling away from her. She nodded eagerly. I picked her up and headed down the hallway.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I pulled into the school parking lot and ran around the truck to open the door for Chloe. She carefully got out then took my hand as we walked to a bench to relax before first period.
Chloe leaned her head against my broad shoulder and yawned before closing her eyes to rest a little. Her morning sickness had decided to kick in on the way to school and I had to pull over for her.
I glanced down at her left hand and smiled smugly. We had gone to the courthouse a few weeks ago but I had finally got her a wedding ring. It was small but had a charm of its own. I glanced down even farther at her noticeable stomach. She was going to have to buy new clothes soon.
The bell rang then and I forced Chloe up. I made sure she got to her class alright before going to my own. I didn't really see her until lunchtime. Danny had a seat saved for me when I arrived. We chatted about patrol last night before Chloe showed up, slamming her try down.
Danny and I glanced at each other and scooted farther away from her which luckily went unnoticed. Chloe muttered threats under her breath as we ate, hoping the threats weren't for us.
"Um, did something happen?" I finally asked. She huffed once more. Danny hurried and ran away just in case she blew up.
"Yes, those horrible sluts at that table over there called me a slut just because we've had sex. At least I don't sleep around with the whole football team and basketball team!" Chloe exclaimed loudly, glaring over at the "cool table".
I remember before I had joined the pack that I would have cut off my own finger just to get to sit next to Sarah McConi. I had thought she was the most beautiful creature but now I can see clearly how miserable she was and how every guy went after her if they wanted an easy lay.
"How horrible," I agreed, hoping she'd just let it go and not do anything crazy. I let her vent out her anger until lunch was over. I really don't think she was over it though. Chloe would glare at the wall when she thought I wasn't looking.
I reluctantly let her go back to her classes. I had a bad feeling that this wasn't the end of the slut rants and I'd have to be the one to endure them. There were no places to hide in a three bedroom apartment for a six foot five inches man.
While I was in seventh period I heard some kind of commotion in the hallway. I seemed like I was the only to hear it.
"Mrs. Scott, may I go to the bathroom?" I asked my teacher. She made a frustrated noise in the back of her throat but gave me a hall pass. I hurried out of the classroom and looked up and down the hallway.
Chloe and Sarah McConi were screaming their heads off at each other. I ran down to where they were and pushed Chloe behind me. Sarah glared up at me.
"What is going on?" I demanded, glancing over my shoulder at my wife. Her arms were crossed and her chin was stuck out stubbornly. I wasn't going to get anything out of her.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it, Ian," Sarah said, giving me a simpering smile that would have melted me if it wasn't for the whole werewolf thing instead it just made me nauseous.
"Hey! I told you to back off! Ian is my husband, alright?" Chloe exclaimed, coming out from behind me. I felt my ego grow a little. She was so claiming me!
Sarah sniffed and gave me one more look down before walking off to her class or the bathroom or whatever.
I turned to Chloe and grinned. "So you kind of like me, huh?" I said, crossing my arms and giving her a smug smile. Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Pssh, no, I'm totally in love you," she stated before grabbed my hand. I kissed her cheek and ruffled her hair a little. "Let's skip the rest of the day," she exclaimed before towing me out to the parking lot.
Jeez, I love her more than air….and food.
