True Feelings #3
I explained, “I remember hanging out with Lisa, and I know we had some good times. I know she’s my ex.
More importantly I know she’s a bitch. I don’t remember fighting with you guys over her.
Why would I? She’s not my mate. Thank the goddess because I think she hates me and I’m pretty sure I loathe her. No, I do loathe Lisa a lot. She sucks.”
Mom shrieked, “You don’t remember arguing with us over her?! CHASE DANIELS!” Dad asked, “Son, did you hit your head?” I answered, “No, and you guys are being weird about a girl who means absolutely nothing to this family. Lisa’s not mine and I’m not with her.”
Uncle Cameron said, “I’ll be damned.” Grandpa Frank chuckled, “It’s like Alpha swagger on crack.
” What? Dad pressed, “Are you sure you didn’t hit your head, son?
” Channing took over, “He didn’t. It does feel odd, the instinct to protect Lisa is gone.
Keaton sees her how he did before I came to him. ”
Dad questioned, “How would that be?” Channing answered, “He feels how he did before, and right after, he saved Lisa. Keaton didn’t really care either way about her other than he has Alpha blood. That’s how he feels now. It’s as if the past means nothing.” He let me take back over.
My wolf was right, I didn’t much care for Lisa.
I don’t think it could be overstated that she clearly didn’t like me either.
Alexandria blinked rapidly with a stupefied expression on her face.
Grandpa said, “Well, damn. If I knew we just had to get him a new girlfriend I’d have had Haley set him up with a Fairy. ”
Mom snorted, “You did try to have Haley set him up with a Fairy.” Grandpa replied slyly, “Which you can all apologize for interfering with. We could’ve had normal Keaton back years ago. It’s not like I was breaking him and Lisa up. I simply pointed Haley in his direction.”
I laughed, “I thought you stayed out of relationships.” Grandpa smiled, “I merely told Haley she should be on the lookout for a nice girl for you. Who could’ve predicted she’d find a Fairy and have a date set up? Fairies. What can you do? Nothing. That’s what Frank can do.” I snorted.
Keith said, “Ok, let’s just go to sleep to ponder this very strange turn of events.” I snorted, “It’s not strange.” Everyone exchanged looks like they though it was. My twin kissed May and inclined his head to the stairs. I flashed up them with him.
Keith asked, “What the hell happened last night, little brother? Did someone hit your reset button?” I snorted, “No. I thoroughly ravished sexy Deadpool. I’m pretty it was the sight of Katie with weapons. They were fake but damn those swords looked good in her hands.” Keith blinked at me rapidly.
I continued, “Then we just couldn’t get enough of each other today and didn’t manage to make it to school. We did get Allison and Arden though, which is the important piece. That reminds me, I need to talk to Clara.” Keith looked at me like I was crazy. What was his deal?
I linked Clara, “Where are you?” Clara snorted, “Hearing interesting stories, that’s where Clara is.
Are you ok?” I replied, “I’m fine. Can you look into Supernatural’s that get a Supernatural pet?
” Clara replied, “Umm are we saying your mate who doesn’t know she’s a Supernatural has a Supernatural pet?
!” I answered, “Yup. Said pet won’t tell Channing what Katie is.
” Clara replied, “Goodie. Sounds fun. I’ll look into that. ” I chuckled, “Thanks.”
My Beta replied, “Sure. Are we not talking about this one hundred eighty degree turn you’ve done, reverting to thirteen year old Keaton, on Lisa?” I asked, “Why is everyone being weird about that? I think everyone could agree Lisa hates me.”
Clara snorted, “Because I’ve been wondering what the hell happened to the Keaton who found Lisa annoying. That girl constantly tried to be around us. You included her because you’re you, but you didn’t spend much time with her.”
“Then Lisa got attacked by rogues, and you significantly changed your tune about her. Then we had Lisa’s mouthpiece after you ate that lunch with her that she prepared to thank you for saving her. Which I still don’t think she prepared when you factor in that she can’t cook!”
I sighed, “I mean the meal was a nice gesture, but Lisa’s just not my cup of tea.” Clara shrieked, “WHAT?!” I rubbed my head, “That hurt my ears and head, Clara.” Keith asked me, “Did you really just tell Clara that Lisa isn't your cup of tea?”
I asked, “Why is everyone playing telephone about this?” Keith answered, “Because it’s weird. I’m not mad about it in any way, shape or form though. It’s like Katie gave you part of your brain or personality back.” I snorted.
Keith held his hands up, “Hey, I’m personally on board with whatever juju Katie’s vagina holds. Or maybe it’s just getting your Alpha swagger on that we never knew you didn’t have because of that bitch.” I didn’t know why I listened to Lisa about anything honestly.
I told him, “Lisa’s pretty mean. Our whole relationship was odd; there were good times though. There were just more bad times. The girl needs help.” Keith snorted, “Ok. Yes, to all those words. I can’t believe we are having this conversation without you ripping me a new one.”
Emmett walked in. Keith said, “Later.” He flashed out.
Emmett studied me. I commented, “Am I everyone’s science project tonight?
” Emmett casually asked, “Did you know that when you started dating Lisa every so often mom had Haley check for charms, and Katie Cambridge check for spells? On you, around your things, and your room?”
Preston popped in. I jumped, “Dude!” Preston chuckled, “You’ve been busy lately.” I agreed, “I have.” My friend gave me a hug then announced, “There are no charms in play. I’m sensing fantastic sex. Keaton got his Alpha mojo, you all need to calm down.” No joke.
Preston paused then added, “Even if the new girl had wiped Keaton’s memories of Lisa altogether would that be a bad thing? I think we should have Isabella bake this girl a cake.” Isabella yelled, “I ALREADY AM! I WAS ASKING HER FAVORITE FLAVOR!”
Preston snorted, “Immy just whispered to Isabella that Katie has a blank slate. Your girlfriend, I believe that is what we are calling her.” My friend looked at Emmett who nodded.
Channing snorted, “Bernard has a lot to say about how he knows mate is our mate. I am busy not confirming. Bernard is most amused we are evading with him.” He would be.
Preston snorted, “Right. Well, Keaton your girlfriend hasn’t had much cake before. Immy made her have her first slice when they met. When do we meet this girlfriend?” I asked, “Do you have to say girlfriend with that tone?”
Preston smiled, “I really do. My disbelief that is what we call her is on display. Tell me about this woman. Other than the fact she has a magical who-ha, I already heard that part. My mom told your mom, and I quote ‘who the fuck cares if he gives no shits about Lishriekra.’ My mom doesn’t consider this a problem. ”
“She’s quite happy. It reinforces mom’s thoughts that Lishriekra did something to you.
Which your mom questions, because it wasn’t a spell or charm.
It’s been a whole tangent. My mom sees no problem with your girlfriends sexual powers of bringing out your Alpha blood.
She even got my dad to agree and remind your dad that Alpha swagger and mojo are separate but powerful things. ”
I said, “Is there any chance everyone will stop talking about my sex life?” Preston shrugged, “It’s normal in my family.
You know I’ve seen most everyone in my family have sex.
Except Alexander and the younger ones. To be fair to my big brother, he just started having sex.
Your abrupt, strange about face on Lishriekra is odd but not unwelcome. ”
I snorted, “Is that what Aunt Haley calls her?” Preston answered, “Yes and no. Your ex has many nicknames given by my mother, but that’s one of them.
Now that you are back to you about all things, Lisa, I see no harm in telling you that particular one.
He’s fine, Emmett. Back to telling me about this woman. ”
I said, “Katie’s smart, pretty, funny, has a brother I’m going to find and punch in the face for giving her abandonment issues. I’m siccing our moms at her mom once that woman makes her appearance. Katie has an ex-boyfriend I’m going to rip apart into tiny little pieces.”
“We might keep your dad’s condom company in business since my girlfriend believes we need to use them. Your dad could’ve mentioned SIZES to the rest of us that had no fucking clue what size we needed.”
Emmett busted up laughing. Preston admitted, “I did know that since I fucked a Witch. I should’ve called with that tip, that’s my bad.” That had gone poorly and Merida was eventually killed for being a psycho. Channing snorted, “Oden’s mate definitely took that Witch to him.” Or had someone do it.
I continued, “Please do call with tips like that. Moving on, Katie has a really good voice, and she’s very sweet. She let Arden and Allison paint murals on her walls, and she knows how to fight rogues. She knows nothing about Supernatural stuff, but she’s intrigued by it.”
“Sadly, her mom and I’ll just bet ex-boyfriend, who wants me to torture him for decades, called Katie a nerd and a freak for liking books and anything Supernatural. So, now my girlfriend tries to pretend she’s not super into it. She’s drawn to it though.”
Preston grinned saying, “How fun. Oh look, Corbin’s here.” Corbin stepped out of the shadows to observe me. Corbin declared, “No spells.” I growled, “EMMETT, COME ON! Katie didn’t do anything to me!” Channing forced a shift. Corbin raised an eyebrow. Why did they keep doing that?
Emmett cautiously said, “Shift back, Keaton.” Channing huffed at him. Lightning took over, “Little brother, shift back.” Preston asked, “Must we still say girlfriend?” Corbin snorted at my friend. I shifted back and Preston snapped clothes on me.
