Arranged - Katy Wong (fun books to read for adults TXT) 📗

bright, morning. I squinted at the window, which I could hardly see, because my head hurts everytime I move.

Beep, beep . . . beep, beep . . . beep, beep

I angled my eye so I could look around the room. The room had a lot more machine than last time.

My head spun again. I felt like I want to pull out all of the wires to stop the beep's. It was annoying and it was making my head spin more.

Than I heard footsteps coming and soft whispering outside in the hallway.

I angled my eyes to look at the door and it was 100% closed. I didn't know how I could hear all of the whispering, but

I just could. It just came to me like it was natural.

"- was weird. Honey, she was acting up 3 days ago. She started growing her long nails." a high pitched voice said and I knew it was Mrs. Cohen's voice.

"Did you locked the door and kept this room safe? You know other people can't see this, especially the nurses." another voice said, I knew it was Jason's.

"Yes, everything is under control, let's check on her." said Mrs. Cohen. The door clicked open and it review Mrs. Cohen and Jason.

Jason looked like he had never slept for ages. He got big bags under his eyes and his eyes looked dull and it looks like it wants to sleep. Mrs. Cohen on the other hand, looked like Miss Sunshine.

"Ahh, Vanessa, how's everything?" Mrs. Cohen said and sat beside to grab a cup of water for me. She pushed it to my lips and I drank thirstily. I pulled away when I was done and she put it down. She made the bed to a sitting pose.

I looked at down at my finger nails and knew that they were talking about me.

Did I acted up and my nails grew longer???? I thought and swallowed.

"Vanessa, what's wrong? Why are you looking at your nail like full of disgust? Your nails are beautiful." Mrs. Cohen asked and gently took my hand and patted it.

"Was I the one that you guys were talking about?" I asked. Mrs. Cohen stared at me for a moment.

"What do you mean, honey?" Mrs. Cohen asked and put a smile on her face. I could tell it is a fake smile.

"You were talking about me in the hallway, didn't you?" I asked.

Mrs. Cohen turned pale and said, "You heard everything?"

I nodded and asked, "I was the one acting up??? And I was the one growing long nails?"

" . . . Yes." Mrs. Cohen said, "Because right now you are a full werewolf. You have gone through the steps; acting up, growing longer nails, growing you canines and having silver eyes."

"Silver eyes?" I asked.

Mrs. Cohen nodded and she quickly rambled through her purse and grabbed a mirror. She showed me her mirror and I stared at my reflection. She wasn't lying, I do have silver eyes, but they quickly went away.

"And because of the result, you concussion is healed. It wasn't major, good thing we could save you just in time before anything serious happens." Mrs. Cohen said.

"Dad also said that you could be leaving soon. You could spend one more day in the hospital or you could leave in an hour, ones they did all of the extra check - up." Jason said and looked like he was about to yawn.

"Wait, before you do anything, here. Here, eat these medicines. I know your head still hurts right now. Just eat it and it would be fine." Mrs. Cohen said. I shoved the pill in my mouth; I would do anything to get rid of the pain. I threw a bucket of water in my mouth and I instantly felt better.

I deeply breath in and my mind clearly. I never felt so good in a long time.

"One question, how long was I in the hospital?"

"For about 1 month and a half." Mrs. Cohen said.

I was about to make a reaction, but instead I asked, "Can I leave today?"

I wanted to get away from all of the ping's and beep's.

"Sure, I would tell them to do your leaving check - up." Mrs. Cohen said.

"I'll do." Jason said and walked out of the room.

Mrs. Cohen giggled, "You don't know how much he wants you wake and snuggle next to up."

I blushed like the reddest tomatoes on Earth. I wanted to protest that we don't sleep together, when she interrupted me.

"Boy, you should see him. When we told him to go home, he couldn't stand to leave the building. What he did all day was drink coffee and staring at you."

I blushed even harder. This lady wouldn't stop making me blush.

"He hardly even slept, he only slept for -"

"Mom, the doctor is here for the check - up." Jason came back and I studied him for a while. His does look super tired. He looked like an old man this week.

The doctor did all of the check - up and in the next hour, we were in the limo.

I sat in the car, just thinking.

It's good to have someone always by your side when you don't know what's going on . . . . even if you don't love him

Was that selfish? I asked myself.

The next thing I knew, a head plopped on my shoulder. I looked down and saw Jason. I was about to shove his head off of my shoulder, When I though of everything he did for me. I decided to do something in return and I let him stay.
I studied him for a moment; since I have never seemed him sleep before.

I can see his blonde hair was a little out of place and my nose was so close to his hair that I could smell the fainted shampoo and the fainted hint of cologne from him. I blushed and being so close to him was making me dizzy. I wanted to look away, but my brain wouldn't follow. My eyes could see his golden eyelashes, so long and beautiful, from here. I could see them tangled up and I blushed even harder. His nose was perfectly straight and his tan skin was like a kiss from the sun. He was flawless even when he has bags under his eyes. His mouth was slightly opened and I could hear his heavy breaths. His fingertips slipped from his side and dropped onto my bare arm.

My chest muscle tightened and my breath quickened as I feel the tingling sensation from his skin.

When we pulled in front of the house, I shoved him lightly, but he wouldn't wake up so I slapped him. He immediately woke up and rubbed his eyes.

"We're there." I said, looking away and got out the car without waiting for him.

I ran inside the house and looked around.

"Is there anything I can get you Ms. Cohen?" one of the maiden asked.

"Ms. Cohen?" I asked. The maid nodded and I sighed.

"Do you want a meal?" The maid asked and I realized how hungry I would. I nodded and the maid quickly scurried away. I walked to the second floor - to my bedroom - and changed outfit. I went down the stairs to see if my meal is ready and it is. I dug into my food hungrily.

I LOVE FOOD!!! I said and smiled to myself.

When I finished eating, I eat the silver pill and I immediately felt sleepily. I went upstairs and changed into my PJ, when I saw Jason was already asleep on the couch. I threw myself on the bed and when I was warm, I fell asleep instantly.

~~

The next day, I woke up and the sun was in my face. I felt so must better from last night. I stretched and notice that Jason was not in the room. I shrugged and got out of bed. I got ready for the morning and headed for the breakfast table. Everyone is there, except for Jason.

"Where's Jason?" I asked and a breakfast plate was set in front of me.

"He said that he is doing something really important today." Mrs. Cohen said and grinned.

"Oh." I said and continued eating.

"Vanessa, I have some news for you." Mr. Cohen said, "I've seen your health result and it is very good so far. I was thinking that you don't have to take the medicine anymore. But you have any problem, come tell me immediately."

I nodded. When I finished breakfast, I was about to go upstairs when Mrs. Cohen stopped me.

"Vanessa, honey, don't you want to go outside instead of being stuck in the room?" Mrs. Cohen asked and pushed a strand of hair out of my eye.

I nodded, "Yes,"

"Well, let's get dressed and we could head into the city." Mrs. Cohen said and smiled.

I walked to the room and opened the door to the walk - in closet. I sighed.

How can I choose with so many clothes?

I walked over to a sundress and stare at it for a moment. I am usually not a type of girl who wears sundress, but today I felt like it. I grabbed it and thanks Sunny so much for having a matching shoe underneath the dress.

I quickly got dressed and headed down the stairs to the open front door. The maidens, quickly hand me a very cute umbrella. The limo was outside of the house, already waiting for me. The door man opened the door for me to get in and Mrs. Cohen followed in behind me. When we settled in the car, Mrs. Cohen started talking.

"How's everything going?" she asked.

I paused and started saying, "It'ssss, ummmmm -"

"Vanessa, honey, you don't need to lie in front of me. Just tell me how you feel and be honest. I know, we rushed everything and push you guys together, but just tell me how you really feel."

I leaned back on the leather seat and Mrs. Cohen patted my hand.

"I don't know. All I know is that I don't have any feels for me and I don't think I will ever have."

There was a awkward silence in the car and I could hear the car engine's hum.

"Well, honey, let's see what you really don't like about him. And be honest." Mrs. Cohen asked.

I paused and thought about that, what do I not like from him a lot?

"I don't know. I really don't know. It's just that I don't want to be in love with anyone right now." I said, "I want to be a single and not get married."

Mrs. Cohen nodded her head a little, can't tell if she is thinking or not.

"Honey, why don't you give him a little chance and see how it goes."

I nodded, but I know I don't really mean it. The car stopped in front of a restaurant. It was beautiful and it looks like a 5 star restaurant.

"This is Jason's favorite eating place." Mrs. Cohen said and beamed at me. The smell that was coming from the restaurant was making my mouth water a little.

We went inside and we instantly got a seat by the window.

"This is Jason's favorite table." Mrs. Cohen. I have to admit, I like this restaurant too. I grabbed a menu and look for something to eat. I ordered a number 7, even when I don't know what that is - 7 is my favorite number. Mrs. Cohen ordered a number 29 and a salad. The meal came in no time and I dug it. Damn it's good. I smiled on the inside.

"The full moon is coming up, Vanessa." Mrs. Cohen said.

I nodded and a few question popped up, "So, do we turn to a werewolf on the full moon?"

Mrs. Cohen nodded and grinned, "It will be fun, just watch. There will be a lot more other wolf and we could do anything on that day. We can hunt, wrestle and a lot more." My eyes widened and my eyebrow lifted.

"Like on the full moon, everyone would become furry??"

"Yeah."

"But I don't know how to turn to a wolf."

"Oh, you will, it is very easy." Mrs. Cohen makes
