Next Friday:

Kaden family was over for dinner. We all were laughing about something Joe did in the firehouse today with his buddy. Joe a firefighter/police men and is well liked in town. And since the firehouse and police station is pretty much in the same building, he can do both jobs.

I was waiting anxiously though since Logan coming over and he'll be here real soon. Of course I had to tell my mom and dad about him or they would have found out from one of there friends. My mom was excited, my dad, well he was being his usual protective daddy routine and wanted to meet him.

I was tapping my right hand fingers against the table, feeling nervous. This is the first time a boyfriend I have will come over for dinner and I was surprised Logan coolly answered 'yes'.

Kaden was next to me, making some jokes now and I would laugh a few times at his idiocy. But what I forgot to mention to him was that Logan was going to join us. Opps, he isn't going to like that.

I couldn't get the thought of what happened Saturday out of my head. Why'd he come up behind me like that? He made everything so awkward while we were watching the movie. Does this mean he likes me or something? Well, it must not be enough to ask me out I guess. Kaden type is long hair blonde hair with leggy legs. I have nice long legs, but his type is the tan skin. I'm lightly tan, still pale.

I just need to forget all about it since all this week he's been doing nothing but being my best friend again. Yes, he's followed me around again and spent a whole mess of time with me. But he hasn't tried to show his affections.

Another person who hasn't gotten to show his affections is Logan! And I'm getting pissed cause it's Kaden fault! All this week Logan tried to kiss me and even my cheek but Kaden will always barge randomly over and bother us. Well, not tonight.

When we went to school, people tease Kaden and I about the whole picture and photo thing for the next day days until a junior girl name Katie got her period while wearing white skinny jeans and didn't know about it until second period.

RING!

The doorbell ranged and both me and my mom smiled. My dad looked a little less excited. The Karsh family just looked confused.

"I'll get it!", I said as I walked out of the kitchen, fixing my jean skirt on the way. I opened the door when I made it and smiled at Logan, "Hey, I thought you were about to bug out.", I said.

He hugged me and chuckled, "What? Me? I wouldn't do that.",

I giggled and looked him up from head to toe. He had a long sleeve dark grey v-neck shirt and normal blue jeans with some black sneakers. Casual, yet hot.

I took his hand, but while we we're walking in the dinning room, I heard my mom, "Kaden, your bending your fork!",

"Huh?", Kaden confused voice said.

As we both walked into dinning room, everyone head snapped to us. My mom was next to Kaden, her hands on her hips.

"What's going on?", I asked.

My mom nervously chuckled, "Oh, nothing!", she said, taking Kaden fork from him. "Anyways," she said excitedly as she walked up to us with the fork still in her hand and she held up her other one to Logan, "You must be Logan! I'm Jesse mom.",

Logan shook her hand and gave her a smile, "Well, I was going come here with some cheesy line like 'you must be Jesse sister', but you must already know how beautiful you are.",

My mom cheeks pinked up, but she giggled, "Oh, what a charmer. You're so much more then welcome around here.",

My dad got up from his seat and grasp Logan hand tightly, but Logan didn't wince or anything but smile, "Hey," my dad only said.

Logan nodded once, "Sir. Any questions or anything? I'm sure a father would like to know what I do in my free time.",

I heard Kaden snort and I gave him a death glare, telling him to shut up or else.

My dad looked shocked for a second, then covered it and pursed his lips, "Well, yes. Are you in some kind of band or something?",

Logan shook his hand and grinned, "No. I play senior baseball and before you ask, I make A's, B's, and yes, C's in schools and yes, I know it's the beginning of the year, but my parents will kill me if I don't keep my grades up for Harvard.",

This time my dad kept his shock look on, "Harvard?", he said, clearly impressed.

Logan nodded and stuck his hands in his pocket, "Yes, I need to get scholar ship, but Principal Hanley and my teacher believe I will.",

My dad chuckled and looked at me, "Jesse, you have to keep this one. I like him.",

I smiled brightly, "I knew you would.",

"Well now that we're all here," my mom said. "Jesse, Claire, would you both help me serve?",

Claire happily got up, "Sure Sarah! Gotta feed my boys!", she chuckled as she patted Kaden and Joe on the top of they're heads before follow my mom in the kitchen.

"Do you like Spanish rice, chicken alfredo, and mix salad?", I asked Logan as he sat down.

He nodded, "Yes.",

"Okay," I said, following my mom and Claire into the kitcken to help put food on the plates.

My mom handed me a plate, "Your dad," she said and I took it into him and came back, "Logan," she said and it kept going until everyone had they're own plates with drinks.

I sat down, but I felt some awkward tension air next to Kaden who was staring at the table with his lips pressed together tightly. I ignored him though and went into talking with Logan who was laughing with my dad bout some guy thing.

Minutes passed and I was surprised to see how well things are going.

"Oh, you know what I heard from some of the workers," my dad said. "Apparently these so called wolves seem to make appearance only at night. None of the hunters ever heard them in the day light. Isn't that weird?",

My mom nodded, "Yeah, I heard that too. It's been like what? Two weeks and you would think they would have captured them already.",

Kaden lifted his head up, "Can't capture what doesn't want to be imprisoned.",

My mom, dad, Logan, and I eyebrow forward together in confused as we looked at him confused, "Huh?", we all said.

Kaden shrugged, "I saying, what if they don't want to be captured. Ever thought of that?",

"Kaden.", Joe said, giving him a warning look.

Kaden shrugged again, "I think these wolves mean no harm and just want to run around. I mean, it's not like they killed anyone. They didn't even kill any wild animals yet.",

"Wolves are dangerous,", my dad said. "What if someone did walk into the woods and these wolves attack him?",

"Whoever must have tempted them.", Kaden said. "Lets say Logan went into the woods", oh jeez, here we go. "And he just strolling around and comes in contact with one of them. The only way he can think of is to threw something hard at them or run, but you can't out run a wolf. So, it's either get killed and eaten or pee his pants.",

Logan breathed out his nose angrily, "And what is the point?", he asked threw his teeth.

Kaden smirked, "No point. You a goner, dude.",

Logan just gave him a stiff shut smile and just went back to eating.

Kaden the goner, I angrily thought.

I felt a hand go on my right thigh and I took in a sharp low intake of breath, but luckily everyone was talking loudly and laughing again. Who was on my right side was Kaden and I froze, looking down at my fork. His warm hand was just laying there on my thigh, doing nothing but that, laying there.

I was about to push his hand away when he lightly squeezed my thigh. I bit down on my lower lip, not sure if I should move his hand or not. No one could noticed since we were close up on the table and near each other.

Kaden hand was warm and strong as he rubbed against my skin and I swear, I heard him groan in the back of his throat. I bit down on my lower lip harder and my buttom lip pinched between my top and bit teeth. Only thing I could think to stop his hand without anyone noticing was to slid my to his hand entwined our fingers, stopping him.

Kaden held my hand tightly as he ate casually like he just wasn't feeling me up while I'm here, staring down at my plate like an idiot!

Just so people wouldn't ask what's wrong, I started to eat again, but with my left hand and I wasn't left handed. When I slipped my hand out of Kaden, his hand just went back to my thigh so I had to slip my hand back in his. I heard him lightly chuckle and I cursed his name in my head.

I continued eating with my left hand and I wasn't doing a good job, so I looked like an idiot.

After finishing eating and when I finally got the chance to got up, I took it! I grabbed mine and Logan plate and went into the kitchen so quickly, I swear, everyone looked at me like I was crazy. I just couldn't holding Kaden hand anymore like he wasn't just trying to feel me and make my hormones go crazy at the dinner table! Like really! What the hell?

"You okay, Jesse?", Claire asked behind me and came up to sink next to me with three plates stakes together.

"Oh, yeah.", I said quickly. It's not like I could tell her, her son was feeling me up at the dinner table. Oh, yeah, she'll flip. "Just...my legs were stiffening up and I had to stretch them.",

She nodded, "Oh, okay. So, how are and you Kaden doing?",

My head snapped to her and my cheeks heated up, "H-huh?",

She shrugged, "You two seem to get very close again like you to were when you were both little. Have any idea's why?", she asked.

"Um, no.", I said, shrugging. "He just says he wants to hang out a lot until he goes off to college.",

"Oh,", she said, nodding. "College. My boy and college. He grew up so fast.", she said and my mom came in.

-

I was sitting in Logan car so we have alone time before he has to leave.

"I hope my parents weren't so embarrassing.", I said, nervously chuckling. "They seem to like you. You should feel special, my dad doesn't like much boys. He only likes Kaden since we've been friends for nine years.",

"I do feel special.", he said, chuckling. "But I already knew he was going to like me. I'm a likable person.",

I chuckled with him, "Yeah, you do seem like that kind of person. I knew I'll like you when we met since you were so nice.",

"Eh, Jordan says it's a curse.", he said. "He thinks I'm to nice to girls.",

"I rather have you be nice then be a jerk.", I told him.

He nodded then leaned over to me. I smiled and leaned in to. When I was expecting Kaden to come ruin it, I was surprised and excited when the passenger door didn't fly open and Kaden didn't pull me out and threw me over his shoulder and walk me back to my house.

Logan lips finally met mine and I wrapped one hand around his neck. His lips were nice and soft. He kept it at a slow rate, something I seemed fine with. I felt happy at how normal it felt, though there was no--and yes, this is going to sound lame--spark.

But I liked how normal it felt and didn't feel pressure or anything. Logan ranked one of his hands threw my hair as he kissed me a little harder.

And even though Kaden made this night so terribly awkward, I had to a good time with Logan even though it was with my family and happy I finally got to kiss him.

(Kaden)

My hands grip my curtains roughly as I watched Logan and Jesse kiss, "Why can't I just tell her now?", I asked my dad who was behind me.

He sighed, "Cause she'll be scared, Kad.", he said. "She wont understand any of it.",

"But I'll help her.", I told him. "Mom got over it and she was terrified. I don't want to see her with him anymore.",

"I know, Kad. But the quicker the school year ends, the fast you'll be gone from Hayden and you both can go your separate ways. Remember, it's what you wanted before you turned.", he said.

I growled, "Well, what if I changed my mind?",

"Then you'll be getting Jesse into our mess of a world.", he said.

"Mom accepted what you were.", I said, feeling my blood boil up at him and how close Jesse and Logan were getting.

"But Jesse hardhead. The more you show your other side to her, the more she's going to wonder. She's still nagging at you for being gone for a whole week.", he said.

"I don't want no one else.", I hissed threw my teeth. Jesse finally got out the car with a smile on her face as she walked back over to her house and I watched her until she was inside. Without thinking, I said, "I'm going to tell her soon and I don't care what you say.",

My dad didn't say anything for a while before he sighed deeply, "Okay, Kaden. But this is on you and if you hurt her in any kind of way, remember, she wont forgive you after. I can't stop you, but make sure you think long and hard on how your going to do it.",

I turned around and nodded, "I will. I waited nine long years to understand why I felt so towards her and now that I understand, I'm going to take whats mine.",
