31 Surprise (1/2)
He easily pulls me into his lap as we deepen the kiss. ”Well, it seems that I'm interrupting something.” My mother says from behind us, making me practically fly off his lap. I would have fallen on my ass if Xander hadn't grabbed me in time.
I quickly slap his hands away and awkwardly stand up like a teenager being caught kissing her boyfriend. My mother arches a solid black eyebrow at me and gives me a knowing smirk when she looks Xander over.
Xander clears his throat and stands up but you can tell he's slightly confused until I say ”Mom! You're here... Why didn't you knock?” Her smirk grows as she says ”I didn't think my daughter would be up so early and with... company. Wait, what happened to you?”
She quickly walks over reaching for my chest but I quickly grab her hand and awkwardly smile at Xander as I say ”It's late, I mean early. I will uh... talk to you later.” He looks like he wants to introduce himself but I give him a pointed look.
He grits his teeth and politely leaves my mother and I alone in the kitchen. She narrows her eyes on me before slapping my hand away and reaching for the healing wound on my chest. She pokes at it, causing me to flinch before she says a little spell to help with healing.
”It will heal. My powers we screwed up a little but they're back now. Would you like some coffee?” I ask trying to pull away. She grabs the front of my shirt and says ”Tell me why the injury has demon energy all over it.”
I sigh and say ”Sit down while I make coffee and I will tell you everything.” She sits at the table and places a small bag on the chair next to her as I start making coffee. ”I got a call a little past midnight, saying that there was an emergency at the local police station.”
As I wait for the coffee I continue ”I wasn't clear on what it was but I couldn't just ignore it so I went over to help. Unfortunately, it was a demonic possession and... I had a witch accidentally hit me with a spell that messes with magic before that. Things got a little intense but in the end, it all worked out and the demon was killed.”
My mother continues to watch me with a frown as I pour coffee into the two cups. She leans back into the chair and says ”I feel like there's a lot more to the story...” I place a cup in front of her and take a seat across from her as I say ”There is but it's a long story and I'm tired. Did you enjoy your trip this time?”
She ignores my question and asks ”And the Alpha that you were just making out with? Who's he and where does he fit into all of this?” I was really hoping she wouldn't ask... I sigh and say ”He saved me at the last moment... we've run into each other a few times before that and kinda got to know each other.”
She stops with the cup next to her lips and slowly turns her head to look at me as she says ”Be careful my child, he's an Alpha male and one that seems clearly interested in you. Make sure he doesn't find out what you are.”
