Chapter 52

I just nodded and walked away. So Ethan really was trying to make it up to me. So everything I thought he did wrong since I came has been…not true? What did that even mean? No, I’m with Xavier and that’s that. Read full story at.net
“shit” I said remembering I had to head to the garage, just perfect. I walked in the living room to get my keys and saw jason pacing with a phone to his ear, his wound was almost healed now that thelycotine was out of him and he was walking normally now.
“god damn it” he said taking it away and dialing again “Answer me”
“who are you calling?” I asked walking towards him, placing my hands on his stiff shoulders. he looked tired, real tired and depressed “Jase, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing” he said and smiled weakly “Go to work your going to be late”
“Are you sure? Jase what are you not telling me?” I was sure he was hiding something, I knew Xavier.
Xavier shook his head “nothing now go” he placed a kiss to my cheek “We’ll talk later”
I sighed knowing this wasn’t going to get me anywhere, if Xavier didn’t want to tell me something, he wouldn’t until he felt comfortable too, that’s just who he was.
“Alright” I said smiling “I’ll see you later” I grabbed my keys and headed out.
When I got to the garage Ethan was talking to Dean, when he saw me he smiled and I smiled back and headed for the car.
I was working on the mustang when suddenly I was rolled out from under the car and helped up
“Okay Dean so we’re going now” Ethan yelled to Dean, taking my hand and dragging me behind him to his car
“Where the heck are we going?” I said trying to pull my hand away from his “Ethan come on answer me”
“Parts” he said “Did you forget we need parts there’s a shop almost an hour away I told Dean we’d get the parts today”
I sighed “okay lead the way” I said heading to my bike but Ethan grabbed my arm
“You do know a car fits two people right?” he said “Come on your bike will still be here when you get back Dean will watch over it” he smiled at me and I reluctantly nodded, he did have a point
We got in his car and he started to drive, Ethan glanced at me and chuckled
“What?” I asked
“You have something on your face” he said and I reached to my cheek, sure enough a black smudge was there, that usually happened when I worked on cars. I wiped the smudge and saw Ethan looking at me, his face thoughtful “But god help me it only makes you look more beautiful”
I didn’t answer him and turned to look out my window, Ethan tried opening a conversation but I only answered with yes or no, or the occasional shrug. I could tell he was irritated but I couldn’t help it, I didn’t want him to call me beautiful, not now at least. I closed my eyes as words echoed themselves in my head.
“Like I’d have some fat ugly loser as a mate. In your dreams Lily, look I’ve been nice to you and ignored your stupid crush all this time because your Keith’s sister but pretending to be my mate now that’s a new low for you”
I clenched my teeth at the memory and took deep breaths with my eyes closed. No, I wasn’t beautiful for him then and I don’t want to be now, not like this.
“We’re here” Ethan said and I opened my eyes and looked at him; he looked sad, irritated and confused. I sighed, nodding before opening the door and heading to the store.
Ethan walked next to me wordlessly, afraid of saying something wrong I guess, and gave the list of parts to the employer who nodded and told us to wait. I sighed and started walking around the store just looking.
“hello” I heard a voice say and turned to see a guy standing behind me, he was human and was obviously checking me out with a smirk on his arrogant face. But I wasn’t in the mood.
“goodbye” I retorted turning around to leave.
“Hey, hey why don’t we get to know each other” he asked grabbing my arm and coming closer to me
“Why don’t you take your filthy hands off her before I break them” Ethan’s voice was cold, calm and scary. He stood beside me and eyed the guy’s hand on my arm, I immediately shrugged it off.
“you the boyfriend?” he asked
“yes”
“No” I answered at the same time and the guy eyed us with a smirk
“I think she’s fair play” he said checking me out again,I glared at him
“and I think you’re an arrogant prick who’s about to die in…I donno about” I checked my watch “Five seconds”
the guy smirked “I like you” he said and I heard Ethan growl and nudged him to get him back to his senses
“two seconds left” I said and the guy waited walking closer to me “Don’t say I didn’t warn you” I said about to punch him but Ethan beat me, sending a punch right to his face that made him fly to the other side of the room.
Ethan took deep breaths and I saw his eyes turn to their usual color.I looked at the guy who was on the floor still unconscious with items from the shelf he hit around him.
“What the hell happened?” the employer asked looking at the guy on the floor with a box in his hand
“he deserved it” he said handing him some money “This should cover the parts and the damage” and with that he took the box with one hand and my hand in the other before getting out.
