Anywho.... Here is chapter eight :) 

~ Say You'll Be There

Tristen P.O.V.

"How did you know where I went?" Payton asked me as soon as I slid into the booth she was eating her sundae at which was all the way in the back. 

“Followed your scent until I got here," I told her smiling while showing my pearly white teeth. She nodded before turning her attention back to her untouched sundae that was melting already at a rapid speed. Just looking at it and you could tell that she hasn't even touched it but now it looked more like soup then a sundae.

"Why did you come here in the first place?" she asked. “I just saw you an hour ago. Why would you want to see now?" She said looking down at the chocolate mess in a bowl. Her hair was pushed back in a ponytail and her grey eyes were sparkling with happiness. 

She's so weird. How can someone be both happy and sad at the same time? Clearly she's mad about something but the corner of her lips is threatening to pull up into a smile no matter how much she tried not to. 

“If I knew any better I would've took that was an insult but I know you love me too much to insult me like that" I told her. She blushed! I never knew she was capable of such a thing but hey, lots of thing surprises me and I'm happy I'm the person that made her smile or even better, made her cheeks turn red. 

"Shut up" she said looking up at me but then looking away to pick at the sundae again.

"Shut don't go up, it goes sideways."

"Tristen," she warned. I would of token her seriously if there wasn't a fully blown out smile on her face. Now her smile matched her glowing grey eyes and I couldn't help but to feel victorious, both me and my wolf.

“What?" I asked her and she just shook her head and out of nowhere she pulled out a pack of gummy bears from under the table. Opening the pack she stopped in her tracks when she saw me starring at her in amusement. “What?" she asked me again.

I shook my head and started laughing at her. "I'm a horrible person that's what." She looked confused so I explained it to her. “I’m your personal trainer and I'm just sitting in an ice cream parlor with you, watching you eat a sundae with gummy bears sprinkled on top of it. Now tell me how wrong that sounds."

She shrugged her shoulders as she popped an orange gummy bear in her mouth. " I think it sounds great!" She cheered now picking up a yellow gummy bear to throw at my head. I was lucky enough for it to miss my head by just an inch. “You’re the coolest personal trainer that a girl could ever have."

"Don't forget cute," I commented.

"And over confident" she added

“Yeah you could say that." A comfortable silence fell between us. I noticed that every time she came along a green gummy bear she'll push it to the side of the napkin before continue on eating her gummy bears, repeating the same process every time she came along another green gummy bear. 

Since she isn't eating the green ones, why waste them? Leaning over I took a few green gummy bears off the napkin and stuffed them in my mouth just so that Payton could stare at me as if I committed a crime. 

" There's a reason why I wasn't eatting the green ones, you know?" She said slapping my hand away when I reached for more. “And you’re still trying to eat them!" She exclaimed. “You know you’re basically committing murder. I can't wait to tell Rocco what you’re doing, and to think he actually liked you."

Rocco? Rocco, the three foot tall gummy bear? That explains why she's not eating the green ones. I smirk knowing that what I was about to say was going to bother her, "You’re the one to talk. Your eating his cousins," She rolled her eyes at me before throwing a handful of gummy bears at my chest and consequently none of them were green. 

"Gesh Payton, I never thought you would fell so strongly to gummy bears that you would throw them at me." She just smiled before getting up and walking over to the trash can to throw the wrapper and her melted sundae away. 

"You’re walking me home," she said smiling at me before taking the lead and walking to the exit of the ice cream parlor. 

As soon as we were outside I decided to ask her what happened back at the pack house. I wasn't at the pack meeting but when I finally got to the pack house she wasn't there, so I asked Lewis where she was and he told me how she stormed out the pack house after her father demanded for her to go do something with this girl named Brianna. 

The thing is that Brianna don't seem capable of doing the things that people claim that she has done, but if I had to believe either her or Payton I would choose Payton every time. Looks can be deceiving.

For the record the sweet innocent teenage girl persona that she goes around with isn't fooling me. But from what I heard from Lewis, it sure got both the Alphas and Beta fooled but not the female Beta. The female Beta, Payton’s' mom isn't fooled easily and that's one thing that I like about her. It's a good thing that Payton has her mothers' better judgment in people.

“So what's this thing about Brianna that I heard about? You two got into another fight?" I asked her. She wasn't fazed at the fact that I brought up Brianna. If you ask me, I think she was preparing for me to say something about her and the situation.

She looked back at me before just shrugging it off, “It wasn't really a fight. Basically she made me look... stupid. Instead of coming up to me and calling me a fat cow, she asked me to hang out with her. After I rudely told her no, she still tried being nice. But this nice thing that she got going is just an act! Then she wants to come up to me at the pack meeting and ask me to go to a dumb sleepover. Out of all people she wants to ask me to go to one of her sleepovers." 

I could see where Payton was coming from. She didn't trust Brianna because.... well because she was Brianna, her worst enemy, the girl that repeatedly teased her and taunted her. The girl that was like the personal flee under her skin. Just thinking about some of the things that Brianna did and said to her made my wolf mad. I could feel my eyes darkening and a growl building up in my chest and slipping between my lips. 

Payton looked back at me shocked. We've stopped walking now as she just stared at me. "Are you ok?" She asked. 

"Fine" I answered her through my teeth. I don't know if it was just all up in my head but my voice was husky and deep. She took a step closer to me before taking my clenched fist in her hands and effortlessly entwining her fingers with mines. 

Almost instantly a calming feeling came over me and all of a sudden I wanted to purr. “I’ll be ok, all I have to do is go to her sleepover and then I'll hopefully be done with her for good," she told me smiling up at me with our eyes locked. 

"What!" 

She laughed at me a shook her head back and forth making her curly brown hair rock from side to side in it's ponytail, " Yeah that's the same thing I said when daddy insisted that I go. When I tried refusing to go, he basically gave me the choice of being grounded and still going to Brianna’s' sleepover but it's ok because before I go to her house I'm going to be with you for the whole morning and most of the afternoon."

I looked at her funny but I couldn't say no to her. It's getting harder and harder for me to tell her no now in these days, but I'm not complaining at all about it. "You know I can't say no to you" I told her and she quickly nodded. She let go of my hands before walking away, having me jogging after her to catch up.

We came to a stop in front of her house and I watched as she walked halfway to her front door and then turned around saying, "You’re not going to leave me home all alone, right?" she asked biting her lips. She looked up and then pointed at the setting sun “It’s going to get dark soon, how about you stay with me, just until someone comes home" she suggested. 

I looked at her before shaking my head. "Nah, I don't think your father would approve of me home alone with daddy’s' little girl." For a second her face dropped into a frown before a smile appear back on her face as she ran up to me and grabbed my arm pulling me through her moms garden and to the back door before sliding it open and pushing it closed behind her. 

"I really don't care what my dad thinks right now. He shouldn't have a problem with this, I mean it's not like I haven't been alone with you before," she said. "Now let's go check on Rocco." 

For the next two hours we were in the living room watching T.V.. Around seven everyone started coming home and even Shane, the guy that had a thing for Coral, joined the four of us. By the four of us I meant myself, Payton of course, Lewis and Coral but it was Shane’s idea to watch a movie, so that's what we did. 

We watched a romantic movie, which Payton and Coral were all for but both me and Lewis were against. Shane of course choose to watch a romantic movie being on the girls side but I knew why he did it, but I won't burst his bubble. He likes Coral....a lot. And when you like someone that much you knew exactly what they meant to each other. They were mates. 

Mates...that was such a funny word with many definitions. But every time I thought of that word it would make the wolf within me howl and come to life. 

Eventually it was time for me to leave. I said bye to the Adas family and Payton walked me to the door. “I'm looking forwards to being with you all day tomorrow" she said softly leaning against the door frame in her pajamas. 

"I thought Brianna’s' sleepover was on Saturday" I asked. 

“Yeah it is, but if we're going to be with each other most of the day Saturday why not Friday too?" she asked looking up at me with big eyes. Like I said earlier, I couldn't say no to this girl.

“Fine" I said before taking a step closer to her and leaning down so that I was looking at her in the eyes. 

"If you feel like they're planning to do anything funny at that sleepover all you have to do is call me and I'll be there" I said with honesty in my voice. I know Payton is a strong girl and she can protect and look after herself but just the thought of her being with someone she disliked so much gave me the idea that they would try doing something to her...and I don't want her getting hurt the least bit.

She had this dazed look in her gray eyes before slowly nodding, “I will Tristen" she said so softly that if a pen were to fallen on the floor at that moment, I wouldn't be able to hear her over the sound of the pen hitting the floor. 

But with me being so close to her, I heard it. I smiled down at her and I wasn't sure how to say bye to her. I was planning on just saying goodnight and then speeding off in my car but that didn't feel like the right thing to do anymore. 

We're friends, so should I hug her? Pat her on the back? Thanks God she made the first move by wrapping her arms around my neck for a hug. I hugged her back, wrapping my arms around her curvy waist and taking a weft of her sweet strawberry vanilla scent. God what was this girl doing to me! 

Before I could breathe in her scent again, she pulled away and that's when I caught a glimpse of her father standing in the hallway watching us. "Night Tristen" she said making me snap my eyes away from her father. 

"Goodnight Payton," I told her before saying,” Remember just call me and..."

"You'll be there, I know. Thanks," Payton said softly getting that dazed look in her eyes again.

"Pinky promise?" I asked sticking out my pinky for her to hook her own pinky onto mine.

"Pinky promise" she said, laughing at my gesture. I smiled down at her before taking a step back from her noticing how close we were to each other. "Night."

"Goodnight Payton, Mr. Adas," I said looking behind her at her father. Turning around I walked out to my car and she didn't close the front door until my car was moving. 

She's seriously doing something to me, but I don't know what it is. But I'm going to find out sooner or later.

Preferably sooner then later though.
