Chapter 34 - ".. BE MY GIRLFRIEND." : A KISS SCENE

It felt like soft rain on a summer evening. It felt like an explosion of the best flavors in the universe all at once mingling together and creating the best taste and sensation Emma had ever felt. She was lost, totally lost in it.

When Derek's lips had mashed against hers, as if trying to flatten and destroy her mouth, as if trying to state his claim on her, to let her know that she was his alone; she had been taken aback. For a second she couldn't breath, her mind was blank until she felt those twingles again.

They assailed her body like a rushing water that had broken over a dam. She had been bereft of her senses until then. And when they had attacked her, she had welcomed them this time around with open arms.

She had hungrily pushed back, her mouth open, tongue pushing past his clenched teeth to the moist space within. The bristles of his beard scratched against her soft cheeks as she gripped his head firmly, as if to keep him from escaping; his hair band loosening in the process, releasing his long rich hair.

She worked her mouth against his, their tongues battling back and forth like wrestlers, each trying to pin the other; until her phone rang.

Rrrriiingggg!!!

The phone rang, causing the couple to jerk apart.

Emma, unsure of herself and slightly nervous, bit her swollen lips hard while trying to bring out the damn phone. 'Of all the time huh' she muttered, to the amusement of Derek.

It seems he wasn't the only one who thought the kiss mind blowing and terrific. He thought, smiling as he heard her muttering. He also knew that his wolf wasn't satisfied yet, as he could feel the stirring in his loins again as he saw her biting her lips, trying to bring out the phone that had interrupted their love scene.

"Hello.." Emma said sharply into the phone, after digging it out finally from her small purse in her bag. She had put it in there to prevent it from being stolen in the worker's room.

"Emma..Are you done with your shift?" The voice on the other side said.

Taking in a deep breath, Emma sighed. It was Clem; and she had forgotten to save his number again. She would do that after this call. She thought.

"Hey, Clem.." She said into the phone.

"I'm done with..."

A loud mushed bang in the car prevented Emma from saying further. She looked, and beheld Derek hitting the steering wheel, his face ashen with anger.

"Derek.." She called, forgetting for a moment that she was still on call. "I..uh.. what.."

"What happened with Derek?" Clem asked over the phone, interrupting her stutter and at the same time, alerting her that she was still on call.

"Clem, I will ..." Emma was saying, before her phone was snatched roughly out of her hands.

She watched as Derek cut the phone call, and put the phone back into his shirt's pocket.

"I was just about to tell him that I would call him later." She said, trying to placate the fuming hottie in front of her.

" Don't pick his calls again." Derek said, thinking it was time to let his beta in on the truth, before he snapped his jaw.

"He's my friend. I can't stop picking his calls." Emma said defiantly. " Stop behaving like a caveman, it's not like we're dating." She mentioned, her voice going a notch lower on the dating clause.

Derek snapped his head back at her. 'What's wrong with this human; I just told her I loved her.' He thought in confusion. What else does she needs to understand that he wants her.

"I just told you earlier that I love you." He said, finally voicing out his thoughts; also taking note of the blush that had tainted her cheeks at the love phrase.

"What else do you need? A bunch of flowers?" He asked, staring at her intently; sorely interested in her reply. He had never done this before.

"I..well.. you haven't asked me out officially." Emma said in a rush, ducking her head beside the car's window in shyness. 'That's so rash. You couldn't have waited for him to figure it out? Huh Emma!" She thought as she cursed herself inwardly.

The silence in the car didn't help her cause to. 'Why wasn't he saying anything?' she thought.

Lifting up her head, she casted a glance towards Derek; he was still staring at her. "Was I too fast?" She thought, bitting her lip. Perhaps he wanted to go slower.

"It's okay if you don't want to.." She finally whispered, not expecting what was coming in the next second. Another kiss.

But this time, feathery and soft, but still sensual. And for the second time, her senses were numbed.

"I want to." He said, cupping her cheeks with his palms.

"I've always wanted to, since you tripped me two days ago." He said, smiling as he stared intently into her forest green eyes.

Emma was flustered as she looked into Derek's eyes, her heart beat was increasing again as the seconds ticked by. She finally lowered her head shyly, not being able to bear his strong gaze again.

"Emma.." Derek called, using his thumbs to brush her cheek lightly, lifting up her face with his palms.

"Be my girlfriend." He said, biting his tongue from saying mate. His wolf wasn't helping matters with its incessant urges to claim and mark his little witch.

"When will you tell her about us?" Maru said happily.

"I don't know, but not now." Derek linked back. He wouldn't want to spoil this moment with sentences on who he really was. He would tell her some other time. He dreaded it though; she might flee after finding out what he was. The thought left him pained.

Emma was speechless. Of course it was what she wanted, but she was still wordless.

"Emma.." Derek called out, pinching his little witch a bit in her cheek, to which she responded with a jerk.

"You haven't said anything." He stated.

"Well..you didn't ask me anything." She replied, smirking now. Her nervousness gone. "You only made a statement." She said.

Derek chuckled heartily, as he dropped a light kiss on her forehead. His little witch wasn't shy again.

With inhuman strength, he carried her from her seat and dropped her on his laps, as his back was already protesting in slight pain at the bent position he had been in all these while.

He chuckled again, as he saw her blush, and duck again. 'Shy again?' He thought, amused at the beautiful sight in front of him.

"Miss Emma, my little witch.. would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?" He asked in a playful tone, gripping her by the bosom, closer to him.

Fireworks.. No, explosions..Emma thought, as she tried describing what she was feeling, on the laps of Derek. She wanted him. She wanted him with an intensity that scared her.

"Yes, I will.." She finally replied.
