After lunch, Kam and I quickly headed to Home Ec. Apparently, my bad habits of walking and talking to slow us down didn't get lost during the move. At my old school, I would always be late to 1st and 5th period due to my short legs and blabbermouth; I see it hasn't changed. Right after we passed the door frame I had that feeling again. The feeling like I would lose control. All because I caught a whiff of Daymien's sent.

"Easy girl," Kam said as she grabbed my arms to keep me at bay, " You will be next to him soon. No one will take him away, but if you don't calm down right now I can't let you into this class."

How dare she not let me near him? I heard a growl erupt from my chest, and knew my wolf felt the same way. I looked up into Kam's eyes and saw the same fear that was there the last time I lost control with Daymien. As much as I wanted to be near him, I knew I had to calm down before I did something I regret. When Kam saw I had gotten somewhat in control of my powers, she helped me walk to my seat. Each step it got harder and harder to control the urge to jump into his arms and kiss the crap out of him.

Our eyes locked and I almost ran into his arm, but thanks to Kam I still couldn't. I'm guessing he had the same feeling because his friend, Tommy I believe it is, was holding him back too. I finally reach my seat next to him and we were both released.

"We need to see each other more often or you really need some strong cologne," I said to him through gritted teeth when I saw him.

"I'll take that as a yes for the date I would like to ask you on for tomorrow," he said. He also sounded strained but his smile made my insides burst with joy.

"Please take yourself out of each other's misery and touch. It'll help with the pull," Tommy said.

"And by touch, he means to hold hands nothing more," Kam clarified with a glint in her eye.

Mrs. S hushed us and began the lesson. I tried to focus I promise you I did but.....his hands were so soft. I needed to get a grip or I would totally fail this class. The teacher finally stopped talking and said we could work in our groups.

"What kind of food do you like?" Daymien asked.

"First off its food I love food period point-blank. Second, I can't go," I replied.

"WHAT!" He half screamed. "Why not?"

"We are training this week, remember. I can't blow that off,"

"Of course, you can. Jay, you've been under way too much stress lately. You're not God, you can't handle all this at once, and even He took a break. Please, you need a break and we haven't been able to be alone at all. I need you," he pleaded.

I knew he was right, but it didn't feel right to do this to my mom. I needed to fix this, and I didn't want to take breaks, even for him.

'Oh did I forget to tell you practice is canceled? Go on the date. Tonight,' I heard Mr. C say in my head.

I shot him a glare through our link. "What about tonight?"

Daymien grabbed me and kissed me. His lips were so soft and perfectly fit on mine. He smelled like a tropical rain forest. Just as I deepened the kiss we were pried off each other.

"You could've just said yes,"

School was let out but due to my whole kissing scene the teacher stopped me to talk about PDA and I missed the bus. Thankfully Kam stayed with me so I had someone to walk with.

"Kam, we passed your house five minutes ago why are you still here?" I asked

"To see your sexy brother of course. You're not the only one who's allowed to get lip action."

I gagged. I don't understand what part of my brother she found cute. I know we came from the same place so we look similar but he's not "to die for".

We finally reach my house and I stopped at my room door.

"What is it? I'm trying to be a good friend and help you before I go find your brother, so please be a good friend and hurry!" Kam whined.

"I have a date with nothing to wear," I stated phased and mentally reprimanding myself for not going to the mall.

"OH MY GOSH! You could've said that instead of standing there!" With that, Kam rushed me into my room.

The next thirty minutes went by in a blur. Kam stripped me, through me into the shower, did my makeup, and dressed me while I just stood there slightly violated and amazed. I've never seen anyone get ready that fast, much less get someone ready that fast. When she was finished she put me in front of the mirror and I was amazed.

"Oh my....what did you do to me?" I said in utter amazement.

"I got you dressed of course. Close your mouth you'll catch flies," she said very pleased with her handy work.

"Where did you get this dress?!"

"It was in your closet. I fixed the wretched thing. Before it met me it looked like one of those 'old lady training to look sexy' gowns. Don't worry, if you want to make a scarf or something, the rest of the material is on your you bed. You are welcome. I will be leaving to your brother now, your not the only one with a date," she said moving her eyebrows suggestively as she walked out the room.

When I saw the rest of the fabric I realized this was my 8th-grade dance dress. I thought it was sexy before, now I don't know what to think about it. I gawked in the mirror for another five minutes until I heard my phone vibrate saying I had a text.

Daymien: "hey I'll be there in 10min. You live on 55th, right?"

Me: "yup the first peach house you see. Can't wait!"

I heard a car pull up in my driveway and butterflies in my stomach. Tonight will be special.

Hey guys! I have a few questions to see how you feel about the book so far:

1. Who's your favorite character?

2. How do you feel about Jay's reaction to everything?

3. Do you want to know more about Kam and Don's  relationship?

Thank you!
