Chapter 71: Chapter 71

"Wow! I hope you have a nice time there." I added as I looked from Mr. Simpsons to Jake.

"Yes, thank you. So I better get to bed because my flight is at 6:00 AM." Mr. Simpsons said as he stood up from his place on the couch.

"But it's still too early. It's not even 8pm yet." Jake protested as he glanced at the clock that was on the wall of the flat screen TV, but placed higher.

Mr. Simpsons and I also glanced at the clock before looking back at Jake who was now looking at us. His dad nodded, "Yeah, but I still have some work that I need to do in my study first."

"Oh, that seems more like you." He replied with a slight smirk.

His dad chuckled as he shook his head, "Yes, it is." He glanced at me then at Jake, "Good night, you two and behave well while I'm gone."

"Night!" I replied as I gave him a smile.

"Night, dad. You can count on us."

"I hope so." He replied as he turned around and started towards the stairs.

Jake turned to me with a flirty smile as he moved closer to me on the couch. "So what do you wanna do now, baby doll?"

"Not what you're thinking, bad ass bad boy. I'm tired from all the running and just wanna rest." I replied with a smile as I leaned my head against his shoulder.

He chuckled as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer as he rested his head on mine. "How do you know what I'm thinking about?"

"I know you, and it's obvious from the flirty look on your face that you wanna make out." I said, poking his shirt covered rock hard abs with my index finger.

Wow, I couldn't wait to feel them under my hands. But that would lead to us doing something more which I wasn't ready for. I sighed, too bad, 'cause his abs were really toned. I pulled my finger back without his notice of my internal struggle of touching his abs.

He chuckled again, "You're right, but I guess that can wait till tomorrow since you're exhausted."

"But I also wanna make out." I murmured as I looked up at him with my head still on his shoulder.

He was already looking at me and his lips quirked up in a small smile at my declaration. He replied in a low murmur, but his deep voice vibrated a bit, "Then what do we do now? Make out or not?"

My lips widened into a smile as I lifted my hand and cupped his face to pull him down to my lips as I lifted my head up. Our lips met and butterflies fluttered in my tummy. Things got heated pretty quickly, and Jake was suddenly on top of me on the couch as we made out. I pulled my head back as I looked at his heated hazel eyes.

We were both breathing heavily as we stared into each other's eyes. "Let's just cuddle for now. My wolf is getting too excited and thinks that we're going to mate."

His lips tugged upwards slightly, but his eyes remained heated as he said, "Mine too. He wants to take over so that we can finally mate, but I'm not giving him a chance since I know that you are not ready."

"That's so sweet of you." I said as he lifted himself from me and took my hand to pull me to him so that we were back to the position that we were in the first place.

"I can be as sweet as you want, baby doll." He said with a laugh.

"I know you can, and that's why I love you even more. But I think that we should try not to make out or get too close since our wolves are on the edge, especially since your dad's leaving us two alone in this house."

He let out a sigh, "We're going through this again?"

"Yes, you should understand that we need this precaution for the time being until we get more control of our wolves or at least your dad comes back."

He lifted his hand and ran it through my hair, "Fine, I can't say no to you anyway."

"Thanks, babe." I said as I lifted my head and pressed a kiss on his cheek.

"Anything for you, Max." He said as he watched me with his still heated eyes.

I stretched my lips into a large smile as I placed my head back on his shoulder and turned my gaze to the TV which was still showing the news channel. I saw him turn to it as well from the corner of my eyes. He continued running his hand through my hair as he asked, "So what do you wanna watch?"

"Anything horror."

"How about the Haunting Hour series by R. L Stine?"

"Oh, yes, I love his horror movies except the few where he shows the female lead is into girls since I can't relate to it 'cause I'm straight."

He chuckled in his deep voice, "Yeah, it's just like how they can't relate to us."

I chuckled too then added, "So let's start with the ice cream truck episode."

He stretched forward and picked up the remote from the center table as he replied, "I love that episode too 'cause the kid gets obsessed and then leads himself to danger 'cause he can't get enough of the ice cream."

He pressed the button for the recorded shows and a list of movies appeared on the screen. He started moving down the list as I laughed at his reply, "Yeah, that's so scary. Getting obsessed with food and dying because of it."

He finally reached the episode of the Haunting Hour then clicked on it. It started playing and we cuddled closer as we watched it.

"Max, baby, wake up." I heard Jake's entrancing voice say as I tried to sleep more.

"Baby doll." I heard his whisper inside my ear this time and that jolted me awake. I sat up and looked around as I blinked several times. Jake was on the couch beside me, changed into dark jeans and a dark shirt with his signature leather jacket.

I realised that it was morning and I've slept off on the couch while we were watching movies last night. The TV was now off and it looked to be around 6:00 AM. I looked at Jake, "Hey, what happened?"

"We slept off on the couch and dad woke us up before he left around almost an hour ago. I wanted to let you sleep more as I went to shower, but it's now time to get ready for school."

I raised my hand and rubbed it over my face, "Thanks for waking me up since class starts at 8:00 AM. I have just enough time to shower and eat."

He nodded with a smile touching his lips, "Speaking of which, I'll be making breakfast while you shower."
