Bad luck mutt

“A date?  I can’t say I’d be o+ppo+sed to+ the idea at so+me po+int.  We have lo+ts o+f time to+ kill, I’m sure.  That is o+f co+urse, in the event that so+meo+ne hasn’t snatched yo+u up already.”  Porrim poked inquisitively at a pillow then laid back on it.  She propped herself up on her elbows.  Lidded eyes met with his.

“I’m to+tally fine with it.  I’ll be go+o+d, I pro+mise,” she said with an added gesture. “Unless…”  A soft laugh was followed by a mischievous grin. Need she really say more?

“This has been some kind of day..” 

He muttered to himself, eyes locked with those of the woman who beckoned him towards her. Well, he dug his grave. He may as well lie in it. Though that was never really his concern. He simply hoped that this grave wouldn’t be meant for two. If anything did happen to her, he’d have to take responsibility for it from here on out. She was his responsibility, if misfortune should befall her because of him.

“Yo+u’re so+ cute, tho+ugh.  Yo+u really do+n’t have to+ leave,” she shrugged, “I should take the co+uch, if anything.  I’m simply a guest here.”

A gray hand rose between them following the path of a finger she placed squarely on his nose.  “I want us to+ be friends.  Quit being cryptic, o+ne o+f these days, o+kay? Thanks fo+r letting me stay tho+ugh.” Porrim leaned closer, it was naught more than an embrace at first. Then she planted a soft kiss on his cheek.  It was an amiable gesture, nothing more, she silently tried to convince herself.   Perhaps now she’d stepped in it.  Oh hell, she was having fun at least.

“Most people wouldn’t be that comfortable sharing a bed with someone like me. Especially without having even gone on a date yet.” 

She really was playing a dangerous game at this point. And common sense told him to put an end to it. It was the right thing to do, but he chose to ignore the voice that was practically screaming inside of his head. Was it because of her? It was like she was used to this kind of thing. As if every part of her was meant to put other at ease. Make them feel comfortable. Their conversation was engaging, when he hadn’t even desired any kind of conversation to begin with. It was so strange, yet he couldn’t say that he disliked the whole thing. 

The kiss that found his way to his cheek, however, put him in an entirely different state of mind. Comfort soon turned into awkwardness as the Lycan’s face turned a bright shade of red. The fact that it had come out of nowhere played the largest factor in flustering him. He struggled to regain his composure, momentarily avoiding eye contact with her. 

Of course she’d joked earlier that she was already dead, but that certainly didn’t spare her from more death, despite her front.  “Oh, there are definitely things I’m afraid o+f.  Even tho+ugh I’m a gho+st, I’m quite capable o+f dying a seco+nd time—do+uble death, it’s called.  The higher blo+o+dcastes are terrifying in their o+wn right—especially the purple blo+o+ds.  Then there’s this Lo+rd English guy who+ has it o+ut fo+r all o+f us and is especially mean to+ girls fo+r so+me reaso+n.”  Her words simmered down into an agitated murmur.

Though what followed put him in an awkward position nonetheless. It had gotten pretty late, he was aware of that. Though the fact that she’d grown weary enough to drift into slumber at a moment’s notice, and in his room at that, was something he was unprepared for. Once again that voice in the back of his mind cried out to him. Send her home. She’d be fine on her own. Don’t risk dragging her down with you. If he made up an excuse then surely she’d leave without any hard feelings between them, right?

.. Would he really just kick someone out of his apartment at this time of night? Damn it all, he hadn’t learned a thing.
