Chapter 65: Talia and Jephthah 4

Talia’s eyes widened and she scrambled further away, hiding her entire body behind the tree on hearing footsteps sounding close to where she sat.

"You idiot. I’m naked!"

Jephthah face redenned as he profusely blushed.

"I know that, I just wanted to get closer to you."

"Say whatever you want to say and leave."

He sighed and Talia sensed his nervousness. What was he nervous about? Hurting her again?

"I...know I’ve hurt you." He began and almost snapped before Talia said arrogantly

"You didn’t hurt me." She denied, pretending to sound nonchalant.

He ignored her and continued,

"I didn’t realize how wrong it was leaving you alone on the dance floor like that...it was Angel who told me I had done wrong..."

"You wouldn’t have known if she hadn’t told you?" Talia suddenly got up and Jephthah swiftly backed her as she stood behind him, completely bare with a furious look on her face.

"... Everytime...all these time, all these years you do this. You do this over and over again and the first time you’re apologizing is because someone actually tells you what exactly you did wrong?"

Jephthah didn’t say a word and figured out she had much more to say. He wanted to turn to her and tell her how hard it was just staying so close to her, talking to her. How his heart spiraled out of control just inhaling the scent of her. How crazy he was about her. Won’t she just think he was ridiculous.

"I was five when we first met...do you remember? My late dad, Beta Max along with his Alpha, the former Alpha visited your pack for the two moon festival?"

How could he forget? It was the first time he had come to like any one and it happened to be her.

The kids were left to get along and play for a little time while the party venue was being set up.

Little Royce and John had enticed Jephthah and Talia to leave the confines of John’s room to steal some sweet cakes kept in the kitchen, yet to be taken out to the venue.

You could only imagine how hard their hearts pounded and how they giggled and laughed as they ran out of the kitchen being chased by one of the Omegas, a cake in each of their hands.

Jephthah who was reluctant about the whole idea of stealing in the first place fell behind while others ran ahead of him, ignorant of him being left behind.

He stumbled and fell, his cake rolling on the ground. Just when the mad Omega was gaining in on him, he saw a small chubby hand stretched out infront of him and he trailed the hand up to see her.

Talia.

She was a chubby kid then. Adorable chubby cheeks, huge, round eyes and long hair that grazed her waist line. She had a cake In the other hand and the other hand she held out for him was stained with icing but he took it anyway and the two ran ahead to catch up with John and Royce, their short legs moving quickly.

When John and Royce and Talia were talking about random stuffs while eating their stolen loot, Jephthah just sat there in the corner, looking so vunerable and petty especially since he had no cake to gnaw on.

He suddenly looked up on inhaling the familiar scent of honey and blueberries. It was Talia and she was smiling at him as she held out a piece of her cake.

"Here. We can share my cake." Her eyes were huge! And she talked slowly and carefully as if afraid to set off the ticking bomb that sat on its own.

Jephthah, red in the face took it and meekly munched on it. He stiffened when she sat beside him. He thought she would turn back to talk with others.

He began fiddling with the cake as she ate hers cheerfully, swinging her chubby legs.

"Is your daddy the nice man with long brown hair?" She innocently asked, still swinging her legs.

Jephthah just nodded.

She frowned and got down.

He thought she was going back to join the others, probably not interested in him like the other kids that usually visited from other packs. But he leaned back when her face was suddenly so close to his, her huge eyes scrutinizing his closely.

He felt his forehead break a sweat as he leaned back.

"Don’t you talk?"

"I talk." He meekly stuttered and she pursed her small cherry colored lips.

"Then you don’t talk much like your brother. This is the first time you’ve ever said anything to me," she kept talking and for the first time, he didn’t feel irritated hearing someone talk so much to him. He stared at her like she was some precious jewel while she rambled on about many things. "I’m Talia. What’s your name?" She suddenly asked after talking for some time.

He blinked and realized after some seconds that she had asked him a question

"Jephthah."

"John and Jephthah," she said out loud, thoughtfully. "Are you two twins?"

He nodded again.

"You two are so different! Hey! C-Can we be friends?"

He blinked again.

"You want to be friends with me?" He was dumbfounded and in disbelief.

She nodded vigorously and he just thought it was dream.

People usually made friends with John and never reconsidered him but she was the first person to actually want to be his friend.

"Oh...okay." He stammered, seeing the huge pleading look In her eyes.

"Yay!" She jumped on him and he almost fell back as she strangled him in the tightest hug he had ever been held in and for some reason, he felt comfort.

"What should we do as friends now." She leaned back and asked.

He scratched his head and gave her a lost look.

"Let’s grab some more cakes from the kitchen!"

"Huh?"

He was suddenly pulled and he found himself following her from behind with her hand around his. It barely covered up his and he ended up, holding hers back.

She looked back at him with a smile and he smiled back before looking down coyly.

They ended up taking an entire tray and ran off to his room to split it instead. They ate so much sugar, the two ended up sleeping against each other on the bed and was later found by the adults. It was such a cute scene, no one was willing to wake them up.

John snuck his Dad’s phone out and took pictures of them and didn’t stop teasing Jephthah about it for weeks.
