Chapter 121: I WANT YOU TO STAY

Emma soughed in weak anger as she saw Derek step into the room. Although she was happy to see him, she knew that her discussion with Maya at the moment had been usurped, and for that she wasn't entirely too happy about seeing him. She didn't know when Maya and she might have the free time to discuss about the matter again.

"Did I interrupt something?" Derek asked, seeing the look of relief on his cousin's face, and the look of anger on his mate's face. What had gone down? He thought, staring at the duo sitting flatly on the bed. What had they been discussing? He wondered if he had been, at any point, a subject matter in one of their many discussions.

"Not really." Emma replied with a faux smile, when all she had actually wanted to say was that 'of course he had clearly disrupted something. He wasn't blind, or was he?'

"Oh, okay." Derek muttered, staring at his cousin in particular. At that moment, he wished that he could communicate with her through the mind link. His curiosity was going a peak higher as the time ticked by. 

"So, how did the meeting go?" Emma asked, wanting to make small talk, to divert Derek's attention from the tensed moment he had walked into. She knew that he must have noticed, and she didn't want him to talk Maya out of telling her the truth. He would stop the truth from going out to her, to protect her, as he had mentioned last night. 

"It went well." Derek replied, cutting eyes with his cousin. He knew he would have to give her the full gist of the conversation that had transpired between his father and he; unless she wouldn't let him rest, might as well threaten him with the promise he had made to her when she had managed to convince his little witch to come visiting again. She had made him to promise to always trust her, no matter the circumstances or situations that may arise in the future. He had agreed then, but only because of his little witch. He had been so desperate then. He hoped that he hadn't made the worst decision of his life.

"Alright then." Emma stated, before standing up. "I have to be going home. It's already late." She added, dusting of invisible particles from her crazy black denims.

"You can't." Derek blurted out instantly. "You can't go today, perhaps, tomorrow morning." He said, when he saw the taken-aback look on Emma's face at his blurted statement. It made him wonder whether she had already regained her memories back. He would have to ask his cousin later. He thought.

"Why?" Emma asked him, not finding the scenario funny. 

"It's already late." He muttered, while looking at Maya for help.

He knew he couldn't tell his little witch the main reason why he can't afford her leaving this night. 

His beta and his twin, Claire, were shifting tonight, perhaps have already shifted and had gone for a run around the region. He didn't want to risk having Emma hear their howls and cries. She was too sensitive and intuitive, and might begin to ask questions which he knew he would provide lies to her as answers. He didn't want that. He has already lied enough.

"Late? It's barely 8 o'clock." Emma stated, now standing at akimbo.

"Well…I just want you to stay." Derek said, moving closer to her, as he kept steady eye contact with her, steady heated lustful filled eye contact, which promised of untold passions which would be fulfilled if she stayed.

And so, Emma was lost. 

For more than a minute, she was lost; lost staring at the intense emotion in Derek's deep blue eyes, which had gotten darker, which spoke of love and lust, which got her insides humming in pleasure and eagerness. She was already won over. She wanted him.

"Ok...ay…" She muttered, interlocking her fingers together, swaying from one leg to the other, oblivious of the fact that her cheeks had gone totally bright red with blush.

Well, Maya did and whistled.

Lover birds. She mused, happy that the tensed moment was over, and that Emma was staying back for the night. 

"What?" She screamed, when she caught both Derek and Emma casting long glances at her.

"Nothing." 

"Nothing."

Emma and Derek said simultaneously, causing the three of them to burst out in laughter. Derek strategically, but subtly held Emma's hand in his, squeezing it reassuringly, even as they continued in a bout of laughter about the sameness of their earlier statements.

"I see you guys are enjoying yourselves." Melvina spoke, cutting into the bouts of laughter, as she walked into the room majestically with little Eva.

"…without me," Eva muttered after her, pouting her lips, which caused Emma, Derek and Maya to burst out into another round of laughter. An act that didn't sit well with little Eva.

"Mom! They are laughing at me!" She wailed, bursting out in fake tears which only moved Emma. The rest already knew of her silly but cute tactics.

"Oh, we are not…beautiful. We were just…uhm…laughing with you." Emma said, after having walked up the little trickster and squatting before her.

"But I wasn't laughing." Eva said, looking up as if she was in deep thoughts, when actually she was playing hard to please.

"Oh…well…" Emma stuttered, at lost on what to say, until Derek came to her rescue.

"Mom, is the dinner ready?" He asked, knowing that at the time when he had left the conference room after the meeting with his father, his mother had been dishing out the meal into plates.

"Yes. That's actually why I had come." Melvina said while smiling with a knowing look at her son. She had understood what had just gone down. Her son had saved his mate from the silly clutches of his cunny six years old sister.

"Let's go then.. Shall we?" Maya queried, casting furtive glances at the whole occupants of the room, before walking out of the room, of course, not without little Eva.
