Almost Kisses

Violet

He opened the door of his hotel room, letting me inside.

Once again I rubbed my now puffy eyes...I can't believe I broke down like that. It's not the strong Violet I built myself to be.

"This is neat..."

Xander through his jacket on his bed before pouring himself a drink... " do you want something?"

I shook my head , disagreeing...I don't drink.

"I stayed on the same side when I first moved here...it has an excellent view of the academy."

He smirked taking a sip of his drink, " hence I booked it."

I sat down awkwardly on the side of his bed...there was no other seating and my feet were getting sleepy.

"Tell me about home."

He raised a eyebrow, " what do you want to know?"

"Everything..."

"Well I haven't seen your parents...so I can't exactly talk about them, Alpha Jace has made Sean pack warrior after a war broke out and people were protecting Emma as a Luna instead of letting her fight like a warrior,"

I rolled my eyes ....of course ever knew that would happen.

"Alana and Dave had a baby boy, Elliot, he is just like his dad-can't stand up to Alana, shockingly Brie and Dylan are not pregnant....and your sister is getting married this weekend."

I chocked on air.... " what?"

"She sent you the email...she told me so."

I looked down twiddling my thumbs, " I haven't checked my old email forever."

"Well now that you know you can come."

I shook my head at Xander, giving him a small smile, " I can't, I am leaving tomorrow on my first cas-"

"Yes I forgot you have a different life now, one without us."

Us...like he used to be part of it.

I cleared my throat hoping to metaphorically clear the awkwardness, "so you like Taylor Swift hey?"

He kept quiet....after a while I though he just didn't want to answer.

"No."

Finally something

"But you knew the lyrics tonight...before it came on."

"Brie grew up listening to Taylor...so it got stuck somewhere up there perhaps."

I smirked...I got you know big-bad Alpha, " that's actually quite funny considering that song came out, quite recently...Brie is a grown women living miles away now."

"I take it right back, you talk way to much."

"I know," I smiled, " I need to use you bathroom, mind leaving this song on, it helps me to .

...release." I walked to my phone putting on the most catchy Taylor song I know from this new set.

Before turning and walking to the bathroom grabbing Xander's phone.

Thank goodness it was an IPhone so I just slid it towards the left and it opened the video settings.

Well this isn't going well.

Xander successfully did not react to the song....just went I was about to cancel the video ...the best thing in the world started.

(Look what you just made me do)

Xander slowly started humming then he spoke to the words of lady swift himself, "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now

Why?

Oh, 'cause she's dead!"

His voice was the opposite of hers.

Then he went into the chorus.

A series of look what you made me do flowed delicately through his mouth, if he wasn't an alpha he should become a singer.

I slowly sent the video to a few of his contacts....the alpha should really put a lock on his phone...then again ...how would anybody come so close to an alpha to get access to his phone.

You did

I quickly sent the video to his beta...sister and me before heading out of the bathroom and turning the song of.

"Mmh...yes Mr Bloom...tell me... what did i make you do." With that I hold up my phone and play he recording of Xander singing.

He eyed the phone then his eyes considerably widens .

He looked at me with such shock that I couldn't help myself from laughing so hard.

"You are giggles so hilarious."

"Violet stop laughing."

I just could not.. a man, a Alpha known for his superiority and his quite yet deadly persona singing along to Taylor Swift like some fourteen year old was comedy to me.

I carried on laughing.

"That's it."

In o wicked speed.. Xander races over pulling my phone out of my hand before grabbing my sides.

"You want to laugh so bad, here I'll give you a reason to."

With that he launched a tickle attack just below my ribs.

I swear I saw a hint of a smile before I collapsed onto the bed behind me.

My legs couldn't hold myself up with all these giggles.

Xander followed me into the the bed. Straddling me while he didn't stop the movement of his fingers .

I could take it anymore. I could feels tears running down my cheeks...this is a tickle overload.

"Xander stop." I laughed, " I'm sorry...I'll delete my video."

Xander stopped tickling me but didn't move from his position just over my face. "And you won't ever talk about this again."

I smiled , " I promise Partner."

I swear his lips twitched.

I stared into his eyes, perfect green swirls with just the right amount of brown causing it to look less fake and more homey.

Slowly Xander bent down.. more close to my lips. I could practically smell his mint breath and strong cologne. He was close enough, I could just sit up slightly and I'll be kissing him. I just needed to do it.

His hands moved from below my ribs to my waist holding it firmly in place.

He bent lower, his cold tip of his strong nose barely touched my inner cheek, when the door slammed open.

Xander growled at the intruder but made no moves to get up.

"Sorry Zee, I just needed to know if this was true," he held up his phone and the video I sent him started to play.

"You sent it to me Beta as well?"

I looked up into his eyes and nodded. I couldn't move , he was still too close.

"Who else d— "

Xander was cut off from his phone ringing and the caller ID calling out Brie."

Before Xander could get off me to grab his phone, his beta beat him to it.

"Xander's phone."

Xander growled lowly, " my sister to?"

"Yup Brie, he was dancing and singing to Taytay

You wanna speak to him?

Actually..." Shane turned and looked at me.

"He is a bit busy with a female companion.

Yea Dylan , she is good looking.

Blonde almost brown hair, nice eyes and very fit. Yea she seems familiar,

Alright I'll talk to you soon"

Shane turned and walked back out the door with Xander's phone .

Xander turns to look at me, " I'm pretty sure they gonna guess it is you..."

I shook my head, " it could be Viola...then Reese will kill you."

Xander smirked, " I am an alpha partner," he slowly slid his thumb across the side of my face down until it traced my bottom lip, " I can rip Reese in two."

I didn't know how to react to that...and thankfully I didn't need to cause my phone rang and Nicks caller ID flashed across the screen.

I quickly got off the bed and walked to wards it placing it delicately under-my ear.

"Frostbite."

I answered soon followed by Nick and Cierra.

"Girls , there has been a change of plans, security cameras at the airport has picked up that Zain Carver was in..."

The color drained from my face.

He was gone home.

"Your going home Violet." Nick stated like it was a happy thing.

I held a breath.

If only it was.
