Chapter 5

Lydia woke up to the sound of her phone buzzing. The sun was shining through her red curtains, illuminating her room brightly. She winced at the light, and rubbed her eyes. She could feel the phone still vibrating some where in the bed. Her hands searched blindly through the thick covers, and just when she was about to give up, her hands came in contact with the metal object. Although it had stopped ringing, Lydia held the phone close to her face. She had four missed calls, and three text messages. They were all from Stiles. She had a weird feeling building in her stomach, and just as she was about to call Stiles back, her mother opened her bed room door and entered the room.

"Good morning sunshine." Natalie said as she walked over to Lydia's window. She pulled the curtains open and exposed more sunlight into the room.

Lydia let out a frustrated sigh; she was not a morning person and hated being barged in on. She sat up in bed and tucked her blond locks behind her ears. Her mothers short brown hair was pulled up into tight rollers. She was wearing her pink robe and Lydia couldn't help but laugh at the sight of her. "You have fun last night?" Lydia ask her, her voice laced with innuendo. Her mother blushed and sat down on the bed beside her. "I had dinner with an old friend, ended up drinking too much wine with dinner and had to sleep at his house." Natalie Martin said smiling coyly.

Lydia rolled her eyes and removed herself from the covers. She planted her feet onto the cool wooden floor and stood up to stretch her arms. She walked into her bathroom in an attempt to escape her mother. Lydia began brushing her teeth and rolled her eyes again when she saw her mother leaning against the door frame. Her eyes narrowed at Lydia, "Are you okay honey?" she ask.

Lydia rinsed her mouth out, and removed the left over tooth paste and water from her lips with a towel. Even though she was not okay, Lydia gave her mother a reassuring smile, "I'm fine mom." Within seconds she was unclothed and safely in the shower, away from the concerned eyes of her mother. Lydia waited for her mother to leave and began washing her hair.

A few minuets later, Lydia heard the door bell ring downstairs. She stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her body. She walked into her bedroom and was shocked to see Stiles standing there. He immediately turned around and shifted uneasy. His held his hands up in defense, "You're mother let me in, I'm sorry." Lydia stood there frozen, her fingers desperately holding the towel in place. "You should wait down stairs Stiles, I'll be down in a minuet. " The boy shook his head in agreement and walked out of the room.

Lydia hurried over to her closet and began searching for something, anything, to wear. She grabbed a navy blue dress and slid it over her head. She brushed her long hair and pulled it back into a messy bun. She looked in the mirror and applied some makeup. After a few minuets, Lydia grabbed her purse and walked down stairs to join Stiles.

She was almost to the last step when she saw him sitting on her couch. His hands were folded across his chest. She stopped and took a moment to look him over. She couldn't believe that she had never noticed him before. He was wearing a black and white tee-shirt, dark washed jeans, and converse. His brown hair was messy, the tips sticking up in different directions. He saw her and smiled, that cute smirk that she loved. She smiled back at him and took a seat next to him on the couch. She couldn't stay mad at him, not even for a day.

She didn't have time to speak, he immediately stood up, "I'm sorry that I yelled at you last night. You didn't deserve that. You should be with someone who worships you, who will protect you. A guy who would risk his life for you." He began pacing back and forth in front of her, "I may not be the strongest person and you might only think of me as some loser friend but, if you just give me a chance to prove this to you..." He stopped talking to look at her.

"Stiles, here." She reached for his hand and led him to sit beside her. She crossed her legs and cleared her mind. "I cannot sit here and tell you that I do not have feelings for you."

His eyes perked up and he smiled widely at her. He leaned closer his lips dipped down to kiss her. She put her hand against his chest to stop him. "We need to take things slow. " She had always rushed right into relationships, and she wanted this time to be different. She put her hand around his neck and let her fingers run through his thick short hair. He leaned back into her touch and closed his eyes. "Can I ask you a question Stiles?"

He opened an eye to look at her. "Anything Lydia." He would have given her the world if she had asked for it. He was still in shock that she had feelings for him, and was curious at what the blond had to ask him.

"Do you remember being with me in the Eichen House basement?"
