Chapter 0332

“Thank you for today, I didn’t realize how much I needed to get that out. Mike and Robbie lived it

with me so none of us ever talk about it and no one else has ever asked before.” He balls up the

wrapper from his sandwich and looks out over the lawn towards the building, but I don’t think he

sees anything really.

“It’s not a problem really. I do have to go though. I work all weekend and since I skipped class today,

I want to make sure I am caught up on everything.” I stand and he follows.

He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into his chest slowly, being extra cautious, but I let

him. I wrap my arms under his and rest my cheek on his chest. He leans into my hair and inhales,

then kisses the top of my head.

“You make it really difficult to move slowly, you know that?!” He chuckles into my hair and I smile.

“Sorry, occupational hazard of being the baby.”

“You are definitely not a baby, but I think you are definitely worth the wait.” He kisses the top of my

head again and then lets me go. “Do you want me to walk you home? I feel like Mr. Overprotective

does not need another reason to kill me.”

I laugh, loud, this time. We have been kind of serious all day. It feels good to lighten the mood.

“So far he has no real reason to do anything to you. You have been a perfect gentleman. I’m sure

even you would agree that hand holding, a hug and a kiss on the top of the head is not m*rder

worthy.”

“That means nothing. I am in your personal space and talking to you. Trust me, that is reason

enough.”

“I’m good. Mina’s class is right over there.” I point to a building. “And she should be getting done

soon. I’ll catch a ride with her, we have plans with my uncle tonight.”

“Oh f*ck! I forgot about him. He’s a big guy too. I bet he’s a warrior, isn’t he? Is he going to kill me

for talking to you? I don't need some crazy guy coming for me in my sleep.”

I’m laughing again, I think he might really be afraid of Nickolas. “Dramatic much? He knows about

you. He also knows I have been with you all day.” Tyler’s eyes go wide. “What?”

“And he’s just okay with you skipping class to hang out with a guy who definitely is trying to date you

even though there is a seven year age difference and you are still a minor?”

“First, he’s not the hover type.”

“I hover alright. I’m just not amateur enough to be seen doing it.” Nickolas chimes in.

“Second, he trusts me to make good choices. I’m not one to be pressured into things.”

I trust you, this clown I don’t trust at all. He may be acting like a gentleman now, but I can guarantee

with the amount of fidgeting he has done all day, his thoughts are far from respectable. He’s just

lucky you are a deadly weapon. I can’t wait until he finds that out. I want to be there when he sees

you beat the sh*t out of somebody for the first time” Now both Nickolas and Osiston are cackling in

my head…Like two old ladies.

“Speak of the devil, I need to get going.” I tap my head and smile as Tyler looks around nervous. “I’ll

talk to you later Tyler.” I turn and walk toward the building.

Once I get around the corner, Nickolas is by my side instantly.

“What are we going to do about the Shadow Pack? If his information is right, Elder Bastian has

been playing Alpha Reggie.”

“We’re working on it, Midge. Good job today. Let’s get home though, never know who’s following

you.” He winks at me and I giggle.
