So you met him at the wolves convention? Marissa asked

Yes Rissa, for the one hundred time I met him at the wolves convention, Lauren answered heaving upwards

Marissa sighed, I'm not sure Lauren, he doesn't look like someone I can trust

Excuse me!!, who's asking you to trust him, think about it Rissa, this is someone that fought alongside his uncle during the wolves and vampires war, according to what he told me, he remembers vividly what happened during the time your mom was killed and why your powers got nutrilized,

Lauren moved closer to Marissa,held her shoulders, pressing it gently and continued

Sis, this could be the lead you've been looking for, you can finally find out how your mother died and prove to everyone that she wasn't a traitor, that she didn't lure those vampires into our camp which led to the death of many wolves,

Then why didn't he come up since all these years to say it out? Why now? And why does he say he needs to go out on a date with me first?, Marissa said

He has been hospitalised since then too, he just got out from a coma, Lauren said explaining, and as for the date part, I really don't know his reasons for that, but I really still think you should give him a try, he sounded convincing, like he really knows what happened

But how can go on a date with someone twelve years older than me, Marissa asked smirking

Really? That's your next line of worry? Trust me baby girl, you haven't met older men, he's still fucking young

Ahhhh, you sound like someone that has been seeing alot of 'old', Marissa said and then gasped, don't tell me you're into old men sis

What the fuck! Lauren exclaimed laughing, I know I can be crazy and does alot of unexpected stuffs but going out with old men is gross and unhealthy for my young blood

Hahahah, Marissa laughed, I thought as much,

But wait Rissa, since we are in the topic of guys and dating, have you seen any guy recently,

Oh yeah, I have actually, I have seen alot of guys, like the ones that comes for meeting at the office and also

Damn it Rissa, you know what I'm talking about

Marissa grinned at Lauren's frustration and said, Ok you know I haven't seen any guy because I'm still the old fashioned Marissa, so no guy will ask me out

Well, you're beautiful and bright, with a nice job, seriously Marissa I don't know why you are still single at twenty five years of age, soon to be twenty six and you have never been in a relationship, you're still a fucking virgin, Lauren said exclaiming

Lauren, you make it sound as if being a virgin is a crime, one is actually supposed to be a virgin till marriage, Marissa replied

Yeah sure, virgin till marriage is the goal, Lauren said sarcastically,' but it's old fashioned babe,

Remember? I told you I'm still the old fashioned Marissa, Marissa replied standing up and added' I need to get going

But why? Just sleep over tonight, Lauren said

No, I can't, nanny Tabitha will be expecting me home cause I didn't tell her I'm sleeping over anywhere and I need to wake early tomorrow cause of work

You and that work of yours, you know you can actually quit anytime you want right? Lauren asked

Yeah, but I need to stay close to the De La Cruz if I want to clear my mother's name, Marissa replied

I wish you finally gets it done so you can quit that job, and focus on your life, Lauren replied standing up to escort Marissa out

Yeah, I wish so too, Marissa said and sighed, "let's hope Mr "Wolves convention" really has something that will help out

His name is Erick , Lauren said

Whatever, Marissa muttered and smiled

Hey, I saw that, What's up? You have something to tell me, Lauren said catching up on the secret smile.

Nothing, Marissa said

But why did you smile? That smile means something to me, Lauren persisted

What ? Ain't I allowed to smile ? Marissa asked, laughing out loud.

Gosh, look at you bubbling, just tell me Rissa and stop the suspense

Well, there's this guy I met on my way back to the office after a meeting,

OMG! You met a guy?? Lauren screamed
