The Boy Next Door

TBND (Chap 4)

"Ummm mom, I-I don't think I can," I said nervously.

"Why not, sweetie? What's the matter?" she asked, looking worried.

I suddenly felt bad. I know it's silly but...she just looked so happy a minute ago and now I got her all worried.

"Oh, nothing's wrong! Because I can never say no to my mommy, I'll join you. Let's get bakin'!" I said, a smile on my face.

She gave me a look that said she knew something was wrong but she let is pass, grinning back.

She grabbed my arm gently, dragging me into our large kitchen.

I stood by the island and listened to her telling me about the business trip while taking out ingredients.

I took a moment to admire her. I had gotten most of my looks from her.

The same light brown hair, same petite build, same full pink lips. The only difference between us was that she looked older and she had dark brown eyes while I had my dad's emerald eyes.

Anyway, I took out the utensils we'd need and we baked BrOwNiEs!

We decided to bake double as we both knew that we'd want some later tonight.
By the time we were finished with the firat batch, we were covered from head to toe in flour and we were just talking and laughing the whole time.

"Wow, it's so tidy in here!" Dad said sarcastically, chuckling.

He stepped over a plastic bowl on the floor and headed towards the fridge, getting himself a can of Sprite.

"I'm just gonna leave you guys at it, I need to catch up on some TV," he said walking out.

"The second batch is almost ready, how about you go upstairs and clean up so we can go deliver these?" Mom suggested, kissing me on the cheek and gently shoving me towards the door.

"Sure sure, Mom. Go ahead, chase me out of your kitchen!" I said laughing.

I ran upstairs and into my room. I took a quick, 5 minute shower and put on some tight boyfriend jeans, a tie-died tank top, my beanie and purple Converse.

After putting on the locket I got from Matt, I went downstairs and saw that the kitchen was now spotless.

We could easily afford a maid or helper but my parents- they are really independent.

I sat on the counter and went onto Wattpad, reading a bit and then went through Twitter.

I heard someone walking down the stairs and when I looked up, I saw Mom.

She was dressed in a sundress and had on a beautiful necklace. She looked beautiful- casual yet elegant.

"You look beautiful Mom." I said grinning at her.

"Thanks, sweetie. You too hey. Now, we've got some sweet treats to deliver! Leggo."

I just looked at her, shocked. Did she realy just say that? Okaayy.

As we headed out the door, with me holding the large transparent container of brownies, I couldn't help feeling extremely nervous.

I could just die of embarrasment. How am i gonna face him?

I then realised we were by the front door when I saw Mom knocking on the door.

A minute later, a beautiful woman who looked to be Mom's age, opened the door. "Jessica?" asked my Mom, looking shocked but happy.

But...isn't that our Luna's name? Jessica Wiliamsen?

No way...my mate is the future Alpha?? How cliché....

"Lauren! How are you doing?" Luna asked, smiling at Mom.

"This must be your daughter, Jassette?" she continued, turning to me.

"Yes, Luna, that's me," I said smiling sweetly.

"Oh, please, call me Jessica!" she suddenly enveloped me in a hug. "It is so nice to meet you. Where are my manners, come on in ladies.

" She moved to the side letting us in. The house was so much bigger from the inside!

"Um, Lu- Jessica, these are for you. A welcome gift from us. If I may ask, why aren't you living in the pack house anymore?" I said, after handing her the container thingy.

"Oh John has let more people into the pack and the pack house was getting crowded so we decided to move here." She said, grinning at me.

"I see we have guests?" I turned to where the voice was coming from and saw that it was Alpha Wiliamsen or John as I just came to know.

He smiled and walked towards us, hugging my mom and I.

"Welcome to our humble abode," he said, quoting The Lion King. Lol, I have such a cool Alpha.

I was about to answer when I smelt a familiar, amazing smell. I looked up the stairs and I met eyes with Mr Handsome.
