Big Bad Wolfie

Chapter 72: 71 - Keep It PG

I didn't actually read it on a fortune cookie, but I thought it would make it seem legit. Or at the very least

offer some comedic relief.

"Now let's go, you know how your mom gets when you're in the woods after dark."

He scoffed at me, "I'm a big kid now. A man. She can't tell me what to do."

I snorted, "Debatable."

"She can't," he defended.

"I meant the man part," I smirked.

Am I doing this just to get a rise out of him? Yes. Is it childish? Yes.

Am I gonna keep doing it?

Yes.

"Oh that's low. Very low."

I giggled as we started leaving the cave. "Well, can you blame me? I haven't seen any evidence." I

playfully turned my chin up.

Any evidence other than his rock hard and beautifully sculpted abs, pecs, and biceps that activate my

salivary glands on an alarming level.

Well, and that one time I kneed him in the —

"Oh you want evidence," Wolfie grabbed my hand and pulled me into him, derailing my train of thought.

"Yes," I said without thinking.

Wait we're in the middle of the woods.

Excitement filled his and his wolf's eyes on a terrifying but equally delicious level, and I knew I had to

make some clarifications.

"Some, good, wholesome, PG 13 evidence," I clarified painfully.

Wolfie pouted, but then wrapped his arms around my waist tighter and looked around, "I don't see any

thirteen year olds," he said smoothly.

I swallowed, I don't either.

We're in the middle of the woods though, and I have standards, I reminded myself.

D@mmit.

"Yeah well," I glanced around me carefully, "you never know who might be listening."

"Listening? What? You're worried about how loud I'll make you scream?"

I slapped his chest, "Jason!"

He laughed loudly and it gave me chills.

Is this even still PG 13?

Because if not. . .

"Alright Maria, you're right," he smiled beautifully as he calmed down. "Let's go home," he said as he

laced our fingers together.

Something about the moment made butterflies explode in my stomach.

Jason's POV

'When do I get to come out?'

Soon.

'Grrrr.'

Oh, c'mon, you can't tell me you weren't enjoying yourself.

'Oh yeah, talking about our dead brother, it was a blast.'

I sighed in my head. She's trying to help us heal, Malaki.

'I'm not mad at her, I'm mad at you.'

Well, stop being mad, because we're on a date with the most perfect girl and you're waisting it being

upset.

'Well, maybe I wouldn't be upset if you'd let me at least look at her with my own eyes!'

I think your eyes put her on edge, Ki.

'Why would you think that?'

I frowned deeply.

Yeah, I wonder, I responded sarcastically.

'She's a big girl, she can handle it.'

Because "she can handle it" isn't a good excuse to put it on her shoulders.

'Since when did you become Mister wise @ss, huh?'

Since I stopped listening to you.

He scoffed, clearly pissed at my dismissal.

Listen, I'll let you out when she wants to see you.

'When will that be?'

With the way you acted when you were out, probably not any time soon.

"So, how's Malaki?" Maria looked up at me as we walked farther from the cave.

'Ha!'

I rolled my eyes at him.

"He's good, just cranky."

'Well don't tell her that, @sshole!'

It's true!

'Grrrr'

"Oh, he's angry?" She questioned innocently.

'Please don't say yes!'

"No, not angry, just upset he didn't get to see you much."

Ki sighed in my head at my response.

She looked down, "Oh. Sorry," she glanced up quickly.

'She's sorry?' Ki questioned softly. 'See! She does wanna see me!'

"You wanna see him?" I decided to ask. For his sake.

She looked up at me with those beautiful forest eyes. The longer the night's gone on, the less

defensive and analytical they've become.

Dare I say, they're almost doe like.

I love them.

It makes me feel like I'm gaining her trust.

"Is he under control?"

'Listen to her. I've made her think I'm some wild animal.'

You are a wild animal.

'Fine! But I'm not a wild animal that doesn't love her!'

Awwww.

'Shut it!'

"Yes, he doesn't wanna hurt you. . . He never did," I tell her.

Well, except for that one time —

He roared inside me.

"What are you two going back and forth about?" She chuckled.

I sighed, "He doesn't think I'm representing him well."

"You just finished defending him."

"Not in my head I didn't," I shook my head.

She giggled.

". . . Well then, let him represent himself," she spoke a little hesitantly.

"Are you sure you want that?"

Her eyebrows rose. "I don't know, am I?"

"He just wants to see you, really," I tried to reassure her.

She paused a second. "Well, will you let him to the forefront for a bit?"

Ki jumped and spun around in my head at the request.

My eyebrows raised in slight surprise, but I nodded quickly. "Sure, yeah."

He may be an @ss hat, but so am I, and I got a second chance. I'm excited Maria is giving him one

too.

It wasn't long until Malaki went plowing toward the forefront. "Hi!" He rushed to get out in his deeper,

more gravely version of my voice.

Maria snorted. "Hey, Malaki."

"Sorry about biting you that one time," he blurted.

Smooth.

Maria just stared at him.

"And scratching you that other time."

Sure, get the apologies out of the way now.

"And Jason being a f*cking idiot."

Hey! What the f*ck, man! And keep it PG 13!

'It is, that's why I put the *.'

Maria shook off her light shock and laughed awkwardly. "Thanks for the apology."

'She didn't say she forgave me.'

Well then earn it.

There was silence for a bit.

"I was so excited to talk to you, but now I have no idea what to say," He said honestly.

Yeah, I bet now talking about the weather doesn't seem too stupid, huh?

"Just. . . Tell me about yourself," she shrugged.

Why does everything she says make me fall in love even more?

I'll never understand how I couldn't see this before.

"Well. . . I like hunting, and running, and eating, and f*cking, and eating, and did I mention f*cking? And

—"

"Yeah you did," Maria cut him off. "Anything else, like. . . Other than that?"

You better say something good. Something tells me she wasn't too fond of that answer.

"I also like playing in water."

'Oh no, that was dumb!'

She giggled, "Really?"

He stopped his panicking and I stopped planning the mocking I was gonna do.

"Yeah, it's kinda something a pup would like though, isn't it?" He acted embarrassed for her attention.

Oh you sly dog.

"Oh c'mon, no it's not," she nudged him playfully in the side.

Now he's all happy he got her to touch him.

"Are you sure?" He gave her puppy dog eyes.

Malaki!

'What? Don't get mad at me just because you didn't think of it!'

You're right, I got in with her by being the real me.

'Yeah well, you didn't bite the girl in a fit of rage, so I'd say I'm at a disadvantage!'

"Yeah, I'm sure," Maria took the bait. "And besides, I like the water too."

'Oh goddess, her in a swimsuit.'

Focus!

"Can I carry you?"

What the f*ck?

"Um, what?" Maria questioned. Also, surprised by the randomness.

"You're hurt," he pointed to her stomach and leg. One of which is already practically healed.

"No, that's okay, I —"

"Yes," Ki insisted, cutting her off

"No," She disagreed.

"Please," he changed his tactics.

She's gonna say no.

She sighed, "Why do you want to so bad?"

There was a slight pause.

"I just wanna take care of you, Maria."

She sighed again, but louder and more annoyed.

Told you so.

"Fine," she relented and my eyes went wide.

I asked her that five times and she said no!

'Haha.'

Malaki smiled brightly and switched into his wolf form.

He is way too excited to show it off for his own good.
