Chapter 20

Andrews chest rumbled just as another pound of thunder attacked, covering up his slip up. My heart clenched deep within me, as power surged through the room. My back stiffened, I knew what this was. My mother was looking through her seer pools, oh god, I was dead. "I really must go, I'm sorry for only meeting you all for such a short time." I smiled as I backed from the room, grabbing my bag before I scrambled from the room. "Emilia wait!" I turned at the door, my hands trembling in anticipation of what was going to happen once I got home. I gave Wesley a weak smile, a small blush creeping along his cheeks. "I uh, I was wondering, did you want to maybe go out? Like on a date?" I smiled as my wolf howled, nodding briefly as the storm loosened up outside. "Of course Wesley, just give me a heads up, okay?" He grinned as I opened the door, watching as he grabbed the keys form the hook next to it. "Let me drive you home." "Oh, I don't know if that's such a good idea, " I trailed off, watching his eyes fall a bit. "Okay, just this once." He gave me another huge grin as he led me to his Honda, using his hands to try to shield me from the rain. I smiled as he turned on the car and cranked the head, his hand resting on the gearshift. I sighed before making the move I knew he wanted to do himself, and grasped his hand in my own. I looked out the window as I intertwined my fingers with his, sparks running up my arm. I saw him grinning in the window, causing me to smirk to myself. The patter of the rain hit the car, my eyes watching the grey clouds follow us. I knew mother was bringing them to cover my screams tonight, my heart racing as I tried to not cringe. 'Andrew, I need you to listen to me and to listen good.' 'Okay?'
