FAN - VOTE - COMMENT!!! XX

Autumn has settled it's self in as the tree's became bare and the air was cool. Jeremy slipped on his overly expensive leather jacket over his suit as he was leaving for work. Elizabella and Jeremy's relationship has only grown stronger as the weeks passed. Jeremy was coming to terms with the seriousness of it and he knew that one of these days that he'd slip up and tell her that he loved her. He has almost slipped up several times during sex but he made sure to quickly distract her so she never noticed.

He walked into the main office and was greeted by Hannah. "Mr. Gage." She said sweetly. He nodded with a smile of his own. "It's quite chilly out today." She commented while looking out the window. "Yes, it is." He added even though the cold didn't bother him much. As a werewolf shifter he naturally had a higher body temperature than a normal human. Jeremy made his way into his office and got started with his work pile. He had made a point to show his father ever since his last incident that he was not that type of person and would not repeat his mistake.

Jeremy had plans with Elizabella that night to come meet his friends. He has been putting it off for as long he possibly could but he could tell she was starting to get the idea that he was embarrassed of her or something of that nature. She couldn't be more wrong. He just was uncomfortable being with them with her present. Jeremy has a history that his friends are very much aware of. He doesn't want them to mention anything that Elizabella may disapprove of. He knew Marcus and Kat would be pleasant but he worried about Zachery and Jimmie.

He wasn't even concerned about Shelly, they have become close over the weeks and he has grown to appreciate her friendship. She is always helpful when Jeremy goes to her for relationship advice as he was to embarrassed to go to Zachery or anyone else for that matter.

Jeremy's phone buzzed in his pocket and quickly pulled it out as he got up from his desk.  

-Hey, does Liz like pizza? Or should I have Kat cook us up something?- Marcus texted.

Jeremy quickly replied letting him know that Elizabella would be more than happy to eat pizza. In fact it was one of her favorite things to eat. Jeremy has learned this about her as she has been spending more time with him at his flat.

Jeremy entered the break room and started to pour himself a cup of coffee. He realized that the coffee seemed a little off. It was most likely old. He dumped out the liquid from his cup and then started up a fresh batch. Jeremy was waiting patiently for his coffee when Zachery walked in. "Hey mate." Zachery chirped while looking through the box of doughnuts that was laid out on the counter. "What's up?" Jeremy asked as he poured himself another cup. "I finally got a minute to get away from my office. Your father has been working me to the bone today." He whined.

Jeremy chuckled as he sipped his coffee. He felt the hot liquid run down his throat and it soothed him. Jeremy could sympathize with Zachery. "That's my father for you." He said while taking a seat. Zachery grumbled under his breath. "So...you know I'm bringing Elizabella over tonight?" Jeremy questioned casually.

Zachery looked over at him in shock. "For real? Awesome! I've been wondering when you were going to finally bring her around. She had texted me the other day asking if you maybe were ashamed of her or your relationship." He said while chuckling. Jeremy's eyebrows furrowed. "She texted you?" He questioned.

He nodded like it wasn't a big deal. "Well....what did you tell her? Why would she ask you?" He started his interrogation and Zachery rolled his eyes. "Mate, turn down the jealousy. It's not a good look for you. We all know she's yours and besides she probably didn't feel comfortable coming to you about that so she asked a friend who happens to be your best mate." He stated like it was already obvious. "So what did you say?" He demanded. "I told her you were just nervous about us breaking your balls in front of her." He said causally while shrugging.
