down.
About that time Dorothy came around the corner carrying two cold
bottles of water. “I’m sorry, the cafeteria downstairs was already closed so I
brought you these,” Dorothy said taking a knee in front of Anthony, causing him
to look over at Sky and shrug his shoulders.
“Dorothy, why are you on your knee?” Sky asked, looking down at her.
“Because,” she paused looking up at Anthony, and continued when he
nodded. “He is my King, the leader of our clan.”
“And what type of clan would that be?” Sky asked with a smirk,
re-crossing her arms.
“The best of course. Werewolf.”
Anthony placed his hand on
top of Dorothy’s head, then reached down and took the bottles of water,
excusing her with just his eyes. When he turned back around he could tell by
the look on Sky’s face that things were finally starting to sink in. He walked
over and put the water on the counter, then took Sky by the shoulders, looking
her directly in the eyes.
“My people are all over the city, yet it’s very easy to not know
about us. We’ve been very careful for thousands of years and only a few of my
kind have been sighted for what they really are.”
“Is your world like what the movies make it out to be?” she asked,
putting her hand on his waist.
“In part yes, and in others, no. Would you mind if we finished this conversation after dinner at
your place?” he asked, caressing her upper arms.
“That’s fine, but I’m still not sure that I believe all this mumbo
jumbo werewolf business.”
“May
I give you a ride home?”
“Sure, but it will be a while, I have to close up.”
Anthony waited out in his limo while Sky finished up. She and Dorothy
passed each other a few times, smiling at one another. Sky was seeing her in a
whole new light. When they closed up they were walking side by side laughing
about something. Anthony watched from the backseat of his shiny black vehicle
amused by the two women. Dorothy stepped up and opened Sky’s door then closed
it once she was inside.
“I see you and Dorothy have become friends,” Anthony said, pulling
her closer to his side.
“I had no idea she was so cool.”
“What were you two laughing about when you came out?”
“The only reason that I’m going to tell you this is because I know
you’ll just ask her. She told me that you must be good for me, because I looked
super-hot today,” she paused turning her head to see if he was looking at her
and he was. “Then I told her...that she was just reading the thoughts that I
was having about you, ‘cause you looked so damn good in those jeans and it just
made me look more appealing.”
“You told her that I look fine in these,” he said turning his whole
body in the seat. “What sort of things were you thinking?”
“I’m not going to tell you, that’s not how it works.”
“I see. So, I have to get you to show me what you thought of in
regards as to how I look in these jeans?” he asked, wiggling his eye brows at
her.
“Would you stop?” she replied pushing him on the leg. “I have no
intention of showing you anything of the sort.”
He leaned his head back and let out a full belly laugh, causing her
to join in whether she wanted to or not. They continued to joke and play all
the way to her apartment. His playful nature had her blushing most of the way.
Chapter
Four
The driver pulled over in front of her apartment complex and opened
the door and the two of them stepped out. Once they got to her apartment, she
fumbled with the keys trying to get the right key in the lock. Anthony could
tell she was nervous, so he gently took her hand in his and slid the keys from
her, placing the first one he chose in the lock, opening the door.
“Lucky try,” he said, holding the door open for her.
The first thing she did when she walked in was pet Doc, who was
asleep in his favorite spot on the back of the chair.
The one thing that was different about this afternoon was
