her answering machine. After all; her answering machine would show him the same range of consideration that he deserved; none. Inhaling a steady breath her thin fingers curled around the black cordless phone and held it up to her ear.
“What?” her voice was less than friendly.
“Rebecca? What’s wrong? You sound upset.”
Rebecca was forced to bite down on her lip to keep from yelling into the phone, Upset? Try pissed off, wolf man! “I’m fine. Why are you calling me?”
“You left rather abrupt last night. I wanted to make sure you were alright.”
“You’re the reason I left abrupt last night, Eric.”
“That’s why I called. I wanted to apologize for the kiss. I can’t think why I would behave like that much less with you. So I’m sorry.”
Much less with you… What was that suppose to mean? Was he ashamed that he’d lowered his lupine self to kiss a mere human, as though she were beneath him? Seething with rage, Rebecca felt her volcano of anger over flow and explode.
“You know what, Eric? I’ll see you on Monday, but until then why don’t you go jump off a cliff!” stabbing one of the top buttons she disconnected the call. After slamming the phone back on its stand, she walked not two feet away before it rang again.
Storming back, she jerked the phone to her ear. “What?!” her chest rose and fell as her anger slowly drained with her outburst. Silence for the other end met her rage filled words. “Well? Did you call to talk to the street walker?”
“Actually, I called to talk to my extremely attractive date for tonight.” The teasing voice of Damon floated through the earpiece, causing her to wince.
“Oh, Damon it’s you...”
He chuckled softly. “At your service, so what was that about a street walker?”
Laughing nervously, she began pacing the length of her small bedroom. “I thought you were someone else. Wait, how did you get my number?” She asked freezing in midstride.
“After Eric ordered me downstairs last night, I went through his cell phone for your number. By the way do you know what you’re listed under in his contacts? "MY CURSE",”
“Why did you call?” she asked, choosing to ignore his comment about Eric’s cell phone.
“Just to make sure you weren’t planning on backing out on our date.”
She had almost forgotten how she had agreed—well more like decreed that he could pick her up. When Eric had kissed her, she remembered feeling startled, confused and then desired; up until he had told her that she was inviting unwanted attention. Why shouldn’t she go out with Damon? She deserved happiness, even if for just for a while.
“Of course not, I’ll see you at eight.” Without any hindrance she agreed to meet him at the restaurant. Murmuring a quick goodbye, she hung up the phone, surprised that she was actually looking forward to tonight.
The excitement over her impending date quickly faded and was replaced with the icy feeling of fear, fear that had her heart squeezing tightly in her chest. How could she have forgotten? Damon was a close friend of Eric’s, did that mean he was a shifter too? In her mind she could see Damon teasing face turning cold as the form of a terrifying wolf over took his handsome features as he lunged for her exposed throat, her hand flew to her neck as her eyes widened in terror.
Shaking her head, she pushed the gore filled thoughts from her head. Chances were that she’d never see Damon again after tonight anyway, she wasn’t all that convinced that he wasn’t interested in her beyond pissing off Eric. The idea of Eric’s reaction to finding out that she and Damon would be together tonight was almost too much for her smiling face to take.
After witnessing the way he’d reacted when seeing Damon standing close to her, holding her hand tenderly, she knew Eric was attracted to her on some level. This is why she was not missing her date for nothing. Nothing would please her more than watching him twist with
