So Complicated {Closed}

[Deleted]

It was almost dark, the sun beginning to set as the song 'I'll Be' by Edwin McCain flowed softly through the living room of the Riley residence where Johnny was twisting and twirling Nikita around. He pulled her close against him again as they danced slowly. Just two good friends having a good time together. Ava had already been put to bed earlier which left the two all alone to enjoy their time. Nikita laughed joyfully as Johnny spun her once more, the song slowly coming to an end.

As the music slowed, so did they. Gazing into each other's eyes where Johnny could feel his stomach turning in knots and doing all sorts of flips. It was like butterflies were in his stomach and he was having a hard time getting rid of them. She was so beautiful and her eyes. Just amazing. "Nikita..." He whispered softly, feeling his lips inching closer to hers until she broke the moment as she whispered back his name, reminding him it was a full moon soon.

He quickly snapped out of it with a deep sigh, pulling himself away from her with disappointment. Nonetheless, she was right. It was a full moon tonight and he should probably get her locked up in the basement before the sun was completely gone. "You're right... C'mon," He placed out a hand which she took as he lead her towards the basement door. Letting her go, he unlocked the door and opened it up.

Leaning up, the petite she-wolf kissed him softly on the cheek, bidding him 'goodnight' before disappearing down the stairs. With the door closed and bolted behind her, Johnny pressed his back against it and released another deep sigh, yanking off his hat and running his fingers through his short brown hair. Why did this have to be so complicated?

As Nikita walked down the dark stairway to the basement, she thought over in her mind that moment with Johnny where he almost kissed her again. She was so lonely and so was he. He really liked her and she hated to admit it, but she kind of liked him too. She sighed as she hit the bottom of the steps, walking over to the bed in the corner of the basement and sitting down. This situation was just so messy. There was no way they could be together. He was a married man who yes - was separated from his wife - and had a daughter who she didn't wish to bring into her twisted lifestyle. They needed someone more put together. A human. Not a werewolf. Not a monster.

She had wanted to let him kiss her so bad but couldn't let it happen in case it lead to anything further. That would be the worst mistake. Even if it was a one time thing, Johnny would be left with too many high hopes she didn't wish to raise. That was why she stopped him by reminding him of tonight's full moon. That had just been enough to damage the moment and snap them both back into reality. Good enough. That's just what they both needed.

Placing her face in her hands she let out a small scream before falling back onto the bed then rolling over to scream louder into the pillow which had been pretty tattered from previous nights of her being locked up and going crazy trying to escape. The basement was pretty well a big mess. And unfortunately, so was she.
