"Almost done." I said to myself. I'm almost done with my paper for the FLOA club. There were many people I wanted to pick to write this paper about. After careful consideration I decided to pick Stacey Abrams. She has done a lot for the world with the me too movement and all. This is going to be the best paper yet.
Suddenly, as I'm on the last paragraph of my essay I hear the doorbell ring. Wonder who that could be? We hardly ever have people over here unless it's Lyra or my grandpa's friends.
"Who must that be at the door huh?" I said whispering to the wolf. I pet him on the head and tugged, gently, at his ears. I head out my bedroom and jog down the stairs. Once I open the door I'm shocked my who I see, It's Myers. First of all how did he get my address, and what is he doing here? Not that I'm objecting or anything just it's kind of weird.
"Um hey Myers what are you doing here?" I asked him with a shocked expression on my face.
"Lyra said you forgot your jacket at school so I decided to bring it over." He said pulling my jacket from his back.
"Wow thank you. You didn't have to come all this way." I said taking the jacket from his hands and holding it close to me.
"No It was nothing really. I was actually going to be in this area." He said looking around the neighborhood.
"That's interesting because only thing around here are houses and a mini mart." I told him with a smirk on my face.
"I just really like the infrastructure of these houses. I mean when was this house built like 1926 or something." He presses his hands on the house and start analyzing it.
I put my hand over my mouth trying to hold in my laughter. "More like the late 50's, nice try though." I told him.
"Well got to give me props for trying."
"Yeah thanks for bringing me my jacket and trying to guess when this house was made. Hey since you came all this way want to come in?" I gesture my hand for him to come on in.
"Sure thanks." He passes me and enters in the house. "What a lovely home you have."
"Thank you."
"Hey Quinn who was that at the door?" I hear my grandfather say from the living room. What the hell is he doing here I thought he was with this friends.
"It was my friend, Myers. Myer meet my Grandfather Milo Worthingshire." Myers holds out this hand for my Grandfather to shake. He looks at me then Myers hesitantly shaking his hand.
"Hello Myers nice to meet you, you are a boy." My Grandfather said to him with a surprising tone.
"Yes Grandfather he is a boy good observation." I say to him giving him the eye.
"Nice to meet you Myers." He says to him with a smile on his face. He then turns to me and pulls me over to the side. "One moment Myers."
"Who is this boy?"
"He's a friend from school, be chill. He means no harm." He looks at me then Myers and back to me.
"He can't go up to your mom I don't want any great-grandchildren. He can hang with you in the backyard." I nod my head to him.
"Fine, now go." I said ushering him along.
"You too have a good time, don't trying anything boy god is always watching." My Grandfather said pointing his finger at Myers.
I roll my eyes to him and focus my attention on Myers.
"We can go out to the porch outside." I pointed to the backyard.
"Cool. First can I use the bathroom?"
"Sure, upstairs door at the end of the hall." I told him.
"Thanks." He walks away from me and heads upstairs.
Myer's P.O.V.-
I head up the stairs to the "bathroom." In actuality I just want to see if that wolf is up here. I go through every room until I see that their is one more room I haven't checked. I open up the door to see a flower bed set and lot's of pictures on the wall, this must be her room. I shut the door very quietly so they don't suspect I'm not in the bathroom. Cute room for a cute girl, I look around her room trying to find any indication of her being involved with him, her mate. From the looks of it there is nothing. In my peripheral I find a notebook on her bed, looking at it I see it title, "FLOA essay." Boring.
I turn around to see her chest drawer open. Peaking inside I see a bright pink underwear and a purple bra. Looking deep into the drawer I find a thong, somebodies freaky. Maybe she's not a prude after all.
I walk towards her window to see something furry under her bed. Leaning down I see the wolf that was in her car. I snatch it up by the neck and bring it close to my face.
"Listen I know it's you Katana Khan. Me, the princess and the King know that you and your father are still alive. We have no Idea how, but we will see to it that it's permanent." She winces under my hand, trying to free herself. "You can't protect her you know, she is bound to the power. We will kill everyone until she is ours." I throw her back on the ground and walk to the door, before I leave I turn back around. "You better get out of town or else." I walk back downstairs to see Quinn waiting for me outside on her porch with cookies on a plate. Time to play my part.
Quinneth's P.O.V.-
"Hey took you an awful long time." I tell him.
"Sorry. I drunk a lot of water today and haven't had time to make it to the bathroom." He says with an embarrassing look on his face.
"Oh well that happens. Come sit down I made cookies." I say patting the seat next to me.
"They look delicious." He sits down next to me then grabs a cookie. I wait until he bites it to get his reaction. "These are really good Quinn I have to take some home." He takes another and devourers it quickly.
"Thank you I tried really hard on them, wanted them to come out perfectly."
"Well they did, good job. So, how was your day today?" He finishes up his second cookie and gives me his undivided attention.
"It was alright I guess. No work today so I just came on home and worked on my FLOA essay." I picked up a cookie and started to eat it.
"FLOA? What does that stand for Fattest Lobster Over America or something." I laughed so hard at his comment I spit out some of my cookie.
"No it doesn't mean that." I wiped my mouth of cookie crumbs and continued on, "It stands for Future Leaders of America. It's a program for kids they think show potential of leadership and have good grades."
"So your a future leader and are a smarty pants." He says joking with me.
"According to them, yes."
"So, you want to be like the president or something?" He says. I give him a smirk and roll my eyes at him.
"Not exactly I just want to like own a company or be a bosses boss." I tell him.
"Why have all that pressure?" He said looking at me curiously.
"I like pressure, it makes me work harder and be better." I look down at my lap.
"Pressure can be good sometimes." He moves the cookies to the side and scooches closer to me. "Pressure pushes us." He ends up so close to me I can feel his breath on my lips. "Pressure makes us confess to things we never thought would come out." He brings his finger up to my face and wipes the cookie crumbs off the corner of my lip. I shiver at his touch. He leans in closer to me his lips almost touch mine until..
*Knock Knock*
"Hey Myers shouldn't you be getting home." I move away from Myers when I see my Grandfather in the window. God this is so embarrassing, he ruined the moment now he is never going to want to come over here again.
"Yeah I should. Bye Quinn see you tomorrow." He gets up from the porch and heads to the front door. I sit there on the porch with a bummed out look on my face. I give my grandpa the evil eye, letting him know I'm angry.
"So close." I say whispering to myself.
