It's been an hour since the jet landed and none of the guys talked at all except Finley on the jet. What is wrong with them? Don't they know that they should talk so not to seem rude?
Emily, Lucy, Grace and I have been hanging out in my room and we've been figuring out where to put all their things.
"You know that Max guy is kinda cute." Grace says smiling like a crazy person.
"Oh my gosh!" I squeal. "Grace you are so falling for him!"
"Whatever, tease me all you want but we all know you have a thing for William. We aren't blind. We saw you looking at him when we were on the jet. Oh, and by the way, if you didn't notice, he was totally checking you out too!" Grace retaliates.
She's not wrong though. I did sneak glances at William and I don't know why but I just feel really drawn to him. I can not let these girls know it though. They will hold it against me the whole while they're here. I really hope they let this topic go.
"Okay, what do you want to do now?" Lucy asks as she puts her last piece of clothing in my gigantic closet.
"We could go to the beach but I suggest that we eat lunch here first." I stand up and walk toward my door.
"Wait, did you guys bring bathing suits?" I ask to make sure.
"Chloe, we aren't going to come to Cali and now bring bathing suits!" Emily points out. I'll hand it to her, it was a pretty stupid question.
We all walk out of my room and into the kitchen where Finley, William, and Max are. Why did they have to be in here? Whatever, I do share a house now so I guess I'll have to get use to this.
"So," I start awkwardly. "Do you three want something to eat?"
"You can cook?" Finley asks in surprise.
"Yes dip shit, I can cook. I had to do it a lot before we moved here. So yes or no to the food?" I snap.
"Sure why not, what are we having?" Finley asks.
"Well I was thinking spaghetti." I say, saying the word 'spaghetti' in a thick Italian accent.
"Oh my gosh, you will love her spaghetti! She makes the best!" Emily yells.
"Holy shit Emily calm it!" I say laughing.
"Sorry Chloe, you know how I am." She laughs with me.
"Hell yeah I do. I've only spent the past 16 years with ya!" I joke.
I make my way over to the cupboards and pull out a pan and a pot. I grab the ingredients to crest me home made spaghetti sauce and the spaghetti noodles.
I feel as if I'm on display because everyone is staring at me right now. I let the water boil and break the stiff spaghetti noodles in half and drop them in the boiling water. I stir the sauce and make sure it doesn't burn.
The noodles finally finish boiling and I remove everything from the heat. I pour the noodles into a strainer and let all the water drip out. Everyone is still looking right at me and no one has said a word even my friends. What is wrong with them?
I put the spaghetti into 7 bowls and add sauce on the top. I slide three bowls down the bar where the boys are sitting and carry the other four bowls over to the table where my friends currently are.
"Wow." I hear Finley say as I place the four bowls on the table. "This is actually really good food."
"You didn't think I could do it?" I say with a laugh.
"Kinda. I mean my moms 38 and cant cook worth a lick and your 16 and wow." He actually sounds impressed.
"Yeah Chloe, this is super good." William says with a smile and I can't help but smile back.
"You should cook more often!" Finley yells with his mouth full of food.
"Ha, yeah right! I'm not going to become your personal chief Finely." I spout.
"Whatever. What are you guys planning on doing today?" Finley asks.
"We're planning on going to the beach." Grace says.
I hear several low growl type noises come from by the table. What is it with these people? Dogs?
I roll my eyes and quickly finish up my food. I put my dishes in the sink and walk back into m bedroom followed by my friends.
"Do they do that often?" Lucy asks. "I mean like that growl type thing?"
"No, thats the first I've heard it happen." I lie.
"Yeah that was weird lets just go to the beach okay?" Emily says throwing on her suit.
I grab my pink bikini and quickly throw it on. I look at myself in the mirror and turn so I can see my back.
"What the fuck it on my back!" I yell in a panic.
"I didn't know you got tattoo!" Grace says looking over at me in surprise.
"That's because I didn't. Holy, my dad's going to shit if he see's this." I shout panicking.
The mark on my back is small but noticeable against my pale skin and honest to god I have no idea how it got there but it's there and my dad's going to shit!
I hear a loud bang come from outside the room. I motion for my friends to be quiet so I can listen.
"God damn it Finley, you don't get it! I will be pushed over the edge if she doesn't know. I know she feels something she just doesn't know what to make of it. I'm Alpha Finley not you. You are only Beta, you can't tell me what I can and can't do! She deserves to know the truth!" William's voice booms across the house. Is he talking about me?
Holy shit what if he is...
"She's my fucking step sister Will! It's not that I don't trust you it's that she knows nothing about our kind and she knows nothing about what will happen. She may feel something but because she's human and not werewolf she doesn't feel as much of a pull as you do!" Wait, did he just say werewolf?
"Max, I know you feel the same way as me. Besides, we all know you couldn't stop looking at Chloe's friend Grace and we all know what that means." William yells.
"So what! I have no idea if we imprinted or not. We didn't touch which means we probably haven't but you and Chloe did! We know that you two imprinted and we can't just tell her or she'll freak out!" Oh it's a little too late for that I mean don't they know sound travels fast?
"Wait, werewolves are real?" Grace whispers.
"I don't know...I mean it sounds like it." I whisper back.
For some reason I feel okay with all of this. I mean it's a lot to soak in but I kinda get it.
"So when do you want me to finally tell her? I mean how long do you want me to wait? I don't know if my wolf can take it! Finley's already had to drag me out twice." Williams voice booms.
I give my friends a signal that tells them I'm going to go out. I'm going to confront them on this but how? Lets just see how going out there goes.
"You guys know sound travels fast and loud especially when your yelling right?" Emily asks.
All three of them turn their heads as if surprised by us being here.
"Something you want to tell me?" I ask looking at William.
"Well, this is a you two thing. I'm out." Finley says about to jump off the chair.
"Finley..." I warn. As if afraid of me he jumps back onto the chair.
"Did you guys hear that all?" Max asks. "We thought you shut the door."
"Loud voices plus small walls equals loud voices. The door was shut but all of you have such loud voices that, well, they're hard to miss." Lucy explains and I just bust a gut laughing just seeing the red faces of the three guys sitting in front of us.
"Once again, would you like to tell me anything?" I ask with more force.
William sighs. "Do you want to hear the long version or the short version?"
"I've got time, give it to me straight."
