Chapter Bonding

Kieran held Umbrie in his arms smirking at her tired state. Of course she would be tired, he did a lot of hot sessions today and he went hard. He's never done that with her so angrily before. He kissed her hair, she breathed deeply then looked at him.

"You just tried to ruin me completely Kieran." She complained tiredly.

Though it was hardcore, she loved every bit of it. She never seems to get tired of him since they started.

"I know, I'm sorry. You made me really mad, you should stop talking to that guy. He has to leave you alone, I don't want him around you. I don't like him." He replied, stroking her hair gently.

"He's just my friend. We really have nothing going on and that's how it's going to be. You shouldn't be jealous of him." Umbrie told him. Though he's making demands that seems controlling, she thinks he's right still. He has every right to ask other men to stay away from her.

Kieran sighed, "Listen to me once and let's not argue about this. I don't want to see him around you again. Let's get some rest before we continue..."

Umbrie's eyes widened, "Continue?"

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle this time." He smirked evilly.

Umbrie texted Daphne on the phone to meet up somewhere for dinner. She wanted to make the move on Daphne for her brother. She thought it would be easier since Daphne is also into her brother. Kieran dropped her off after she told him her plan.

Umbrie met Daphne already waiting at their favourite noodle shop. She rushed in, expecting a handful of complain from Daphne.

"Daphne I'm so sorry I..."

"Oh you're here. I just got here too. I thought I would keep you waiting." Daphne said with a smile.

Umbrie sighed in relief, guess they were both late after all.

"Let's order something to eat first and talk after dinner. I'm so hungry." Umbrie rubbed her stomach gently.

After they had dinner while discussing in between, they finally had the chance to talk.

"Umm... I don't think you have talked about the reason why you asked me to dinner yet." Daphne said eagerly.

"Yes. It's about my brother..."

"Your brother?" Daphne asked surprised and confused.

"He told me he likes you. You know, I didn't think he would be interested in you but he likes you." Umbrie blurted out.

Daphne's mouth flew open, "Your brother likes me?" Umbrie nodded, Daphne almost jumped. "Wow. I didn't know he was feeling the same way as me."

"That means you will accept to go on a date with him then." Umbrie stated, feeling her work was easier than expected.

"Yes I will but then, why all of a sudden? Doesn't he have a girlfriend?" Daphne suddenly thought.

Umbrie rolled her eyes as usual, "I don't see her. The only thing that matters is that he wants you to go on a date with him. Besides, my brother is not the type to do these things unless he really likes you."

Daphne smiled again, "I'm impressed. Going on a date with your brother is really great. I mean, I'm so into him. He's totally hot. I hope I don't mess things up."

"My brother is not that scary. You won't mess things up." Umbrie assures her.

Daphne suddenly remembered something, "Tell me, what happened yesterday? You suddenly disappeared with your boyfriend and came back a while later looking tired."

Umbrie choked on her drink. She looked at Daphne who's waiting for her to explain what happened.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I visited the toilet. I don't know about you though, you seem to be having dirty thoughts." Umbrie said innocently.

"You also left school too early today. You didn't even wait for me to come around and you left with your boyfriend. Tell me, what did you do with your boyfriend?" Daphne insisted, giving her funny looks.

"There's no way I'm going to tell you what I did with my boyfriend. Why do you keep asking? Aren't you a virgin anymore?"

Daphne laughed, "I am, but are you?"

Umbrie choked on her drink again. "Stop asking me that."

"Ooh... You're blushing hard, it's true then. Your boyfriend must be really good at everything." Daphne teased.

"I can't believe you're still a virgin. You have more dirty thoughts than me. How do you do that?"

Umbrie could not believe her friend would be pure with a dirty mind at the same time. Daphne hasn't really had time to hook up with guys so she hardly dated. Not because she wasn't pretty, but her father played a huge role in almost ruining her life.

"I'm leaving now. My boyfriend is waiting outside for me. You should start going home too, you have a date tomorrow. My brother will pick you up tomorrow so don't bother doing anything other than looking good."

Daphne quickly stood up with Umbrie, "You should drop me off at least. You made me come out tonight."

Umbrie nodded in agreement, "Alright them, let's go."

They went to the car where Kieran was seated waiting for Umbrie. He started the car and dropped Daphne off before dropping Umbrie. Once the car pulled up in front of Umbrie's house, he kissed her lips.

"Let's go on a shopping date tomorrow. That's what I wanted to do with you today but fate had other plans." He suggested.

"You mean, you had other plans." She corrected him, "Yeah let's go. I would love to see my boyfriend take me out on a good date."

"Can we do this without arguing?" He asked with pleading eyes.

He was tired of arguing with her all the time. What's the use of arguing if they're going to end up eating each other?

"I'm not the one who initiates it you know. I also want to work on our relationship, without fighting and arguing everytime. We should stop that too." Umbrie agreed seriously.

"Then you promise we'll have a good date tomorrow?"

She nodded, "I promise. You also have to promise not to annoy me."

"I won't do that too..." He stopped talking when he saw Jared waiting outside with his arms crossed. "I think you need to go, your brother seems to be eager to see you."

"Yeah, I know what this is about. Good night. Make sure you call me." She ordered him.

He raised his hands in mock surrender, "Yes ma'am."

"Good boy." She teased him, then got out of the car.

She waved at him with a smile on her face, then watched him leave. She turned to go in, her smile faded when she saw her brother.

"You don't smile much with me these days, yet you do so with that ugly potato." He said crossing his arms on his chest.

Umbrie let out a scoff, frowning at his words.

"You won't stop now, will you? I guess I'll have to cancel whatever plans I've made with Daphne till you're ready. Maybe she'll be married with kids by then."

She made to walk inside, he pulled her hand.

"You already told her about it?" He asked curiously.

"You don't seem to be interested in that. Why are you asking me?" She replied, pretending not to care.

"Don't be silly Umbrie, tell me everything. What did you tell her? What did she say?"

"The truth." Umbrie shrugged.

Jared's thought went far on the truth. He wanted to be the one to break the news to Daphne himself that he is a werewolf.

"What exactly did you say to her?"

"Well... I told her you liked her and you're into her a lot. So I arranged a date for tomorrow..."

"Wow..." He said relieved, "that was fast. I thought you already told her that we are werewolves."

This made Umbrie laugh, "Didn't we agree that you would be telling her? I am not scaring my best friend by confusing her now. She's yours, you should be able to do that by yourself. At least she can understand, if the mate bond is there."

"I guess..." He scratched the back of his head. "Thanks."

Umbrie gasped dramatically, "What? You're thanking me? Wow. Don't tell me you're shy now. Where's the tough Jared I know as my brother?"

He frowned, "I'm going inside, you won't stop being annoying."

"Now that's my brother." Umbrie laughed following him inside.

She went into her room waiting for a phone call from Kieran. She's starting to miss him a lot even though they just separated a few minutes ago. She paced up and down the room, until she finally heard her phone ring. She rushed to pick it up.

"Wow, didn't know you missed me that much already." Kieran said from the other end.

"Don't feel yourself too much, I'm just picking up because I was right next to it..." She pouted laying on the bed.

"Really? Are you sure about that? You picked up immediately I called." He teasingly said.

"Whatever. I'm not going to argue with you tonight. Are you home yet?"

"Yes, I'm about to take a shower. Do you wanna join me?"

That made her cringe, "Stop flirting with me over the phone."

Kieran laughed, Umbrie still has a lot to learn that just being a girlfriend.

"Do you wanna come or not?" He asked again like she's close to him.

"No I don't. Besides, I'm not even close to you. I won't come if I was, I've already had enough today. I don't want to become a werewolf ending up on a wheelchair." She rejected.

"You know you can't run from that right? We're going to be married one day and you have the rest of eternity with me. You know what that means..." His voice sounded mischievous.

"Stop! You're really making me cringe..." She finally admitted, "It's kinda hard to resist you like this..."

"So you're finally admitting that I'm hot and I drive you crazy?" His voice sounded seductive.

"Goodnight Kieran." She quickly hung up before she's in a state she can't control.

But he texted her, she replied almost immediately again. They continued texting and making fun of each other. Umbrie giggled loudly at a point that her parents came to check on her, she had to pretend she was asleep. Then she continued after they left, she was quiet this time around so she won't wake anyone up.
