“What was that” I asked once Darrel was gone and Ran sat back down on the island stool. “What was what” he asked looking at me rather curiously. “How come you about nearly had a seizure watching Darrel hug me” I said and that seemed to surprise him. “You saw that” he said rather quieter, his handsome eyes looking down. “Well” I asked after a bit and he let out a sigh.
“Werewolves can be known for their devotion more then anything but occasionally some werewolves have been known to cheat” he said looking at me to see if I laughed but I remained quiet. “Darrel once was one of those type who would separate partners from each other” Ran said still rather quiet. “Oh” I said softly trying to get my thoughts together.
“So you don’t think that possibly Darrel has changed” I said looking back at Ran who looked at me. “Maybe” he said thinking about what I said. “He seems happy with Beauty” I said and Ran snorted. “He can change quickly” my guy said with sick humor. “Yeah but he’s eyes don’t lie” I said and he raised his eyebrow. “He wasn’t lying about his feelings for Beauty, he really truly cares about her and you can see it in his eyes” I said, both of us quiet for a minute. “Maybe, it’s just I don’t like others touching you” he said smiling widely at me and I smiled back.
I smiled brightly and then slowly made my way over into the living room. Ran followed plopping down on the couch as I went over to the movie shelves we had made. I scanned through searching for one we might like to watch together.
“War of the Worlds” I asked looking over at Ran who was turning the TV on. “Nope seen it a million times” he said softly flipping through the channels. “How about Blood and Chocolate” I asked and I saw a smile cross his face. “Sounds great to me” he said and I put the tape in.
I moved over to the couch and sat down. It wasn’t long before Ran had his head on my lap, stretched completely out on the couch. I moved my fingers to his hair and started brushing, feeling the softness of his blonde hair. His eyes would occasionally flicker to my face with pure happiness and then back to watching the movie. I traced lines on his forehead with my good hand making sure I kept my bad hand out of the way. Our eye both reflected the movie screen as it flipped through the chapters of the movie.
At intense scenes occasionally my hand would stop moving and I could see Ran’s eyes intensify at certain parts as well. It was unbelievable how they changed, not in color but you could tell. It was like someone who was purely happy one moment with brightness in their eyes, then the next moment the expression changing to pure kill mode and the eyes looked really fierce. He would look at me occasionally just to make sure I was okay and that I was enjoying the movie. It was a habit of ours to always make sure we knew where the other one was. It was different now, I was hanging on the couch with my werewolf boyfriend. Everything seeming to be normal but just under the surface a creature of the night was waiting.
Soon the movie was over and I was left with a sleeping Ran. His chest rising and falling softly in his sleepy state. I turned the TV over and started looking through the channels. I stopped when I reached some Discovery show about werewolves. I would laugh quietly when people wondered if they existed or not. I then switched to some Animal Planet show and that is where it remained until dawn.
As the sun started to rise my eyelid began to sink. I let out a moan as my sore wrist helped move me, I slipping out from under Ran and laid down beside him. He was awake momentarily enough to grab my waist, holding me safely on the couch and against him. I could feel his breathing on my neck and I smiled. His sound was my music without it, it was too quiet. I closed my eyes softly and slowly drifted to sleep in the arms of a werewolf.
I moved slowly and then I looked at the TV which was still playing on the screen. I then look at a small digital clock on the dark wooden coffee table in front of us, it read 11:00. I moved a bit and looked at it deeper, it was only AM. Then I remembered the town thing and struggle to get out of Ran’s grasps. It was of no use, he was so strong it was like trying to break steal chains with only your hands. It wasn’t going to work!
“Ran, get up we have to go into town in like a couple of hours or any minute, let me up” I said struggling again he still didn’t let go. “Ran” I screamed and instantly I fell off the couch, letting out a cry in pain, mumbling. “What” he said finally coming awake and I looked at him sitting on the floor. “Never mind” I said flipping my hair back into place and rubbing my back which I was sure was going to be sore. “Get up, did you forget we have to go into town tonight” I said and he let out a grumble.
I narrowed my eyes and glared at the, going-back-to-sleep Ran. I shook my head and went to the freezer, grabbing some ice. I smiled and slipped some under his shirt. In that instant he shot up off the couch, knocking the coffee table over and let out a loud roar. It was frightening, terribly but I remained calm on the outside. I put my hands on my hips and glared at him as he turned around.
“We have to go and you have to take a shower, so march it, now” I said firmly though my insides were shaking badly. “Fine” he said walking past me and stomping like a little kid. He wasn’t mad, not in the least bit but I was sure revenge was coming.
I went into our bedroom and put on my clothes I was going to wear. A nice khaki skirt and a beautiful white top. The top was long sleeved outlined in dark blue and split down the front, a little down my chest. I left it open and just tied the strings loosely. I slipped on my nice khaki colored knee high heel boots. I looked myself in the mirror and smiled. My blonde hair descending around my shoulders nicely.
I heard the bathroom door open and a very handsome man walked out, my Ran. He was dressed in a light blue sweater that brought the tan out of his flawless skin. His muscles looked wonderful showing through the fabric. He wore a nice pair of jeans and a nice pair of black boots. His hair was wet and looked amazing against his seeming to be more electric blue then ever. He had a grin on his perfect lips and his jaw was loose. His hands were holding onto his towel and he walked into the room, placing his towel in the basket.
In that second his cologne washed over me and my knees threatened to give out right then. I held onto the dresser for support and that’s when the daydreamer Ran came back to me, taking in my appearance.
“My, my I have the most gorgeous girl ever” he said softly coming to place a kiss on my forehead. “Thanks and you look handsome as well” I said accepting his kiss by closing my eyes momentarily. “You ready to go, I know Darrel will be here any minute” Ran said walking toward the kitchen but stopped looking back at me. “What’s wrong” he asked seeing my arm on the dresser. “Nothing” I said softly and I was thanking everyone who had made werewolves, that he couldn’t read my mind.
Oh the things he would see and hear, things that would make anyone blush.
