My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 136: First Crush

After a whole afternoon of swimming and stuff they walked home. On the way Caleb explained to Ashton everything that took place earlier that day. How Rexford was the main culprit behind the scenes.

Ashton was quite surprised and wondered if anyone was left trustworthy in this pack anymore. If the beta himself was so untrustworthy, who knows who else might betray them any other day. What’s surprising was that even after all that scheming he never got caught for it despite being connected to everyone with the pack link.

When they were entering through the main gate, they saw both the twins coming from somewhere as well. “Where have you been?” That’s the first thing Ashton asked the moment they noticed him.

Ariel opened her mouth to explain but Ava beat her to it, “We could ask you the same thing. It’s not even the rainy season and yet all your hair is wet”.

Ashton blinked surprised by the sudden question while Caleb suppressed a laugh. Turns out Ava was not in the mood for questioning. After taking a moment to recover Ashton spoke, “We went swimming. Now you”. He asked sternly.

“...” Ava remained quiet.

“We went to the park,” Ariel added.

.....

“That’s so far,” Ashton frowned. “Did you guys... walk there?”.

“Not the children’s park. The park nearby. We went for an evening walk” Ariel shrugged.

Ashton narrowed his brows at them but didn’t say anything apart from, “Alright” and left.

When Ava was certain that Ashton was completely out of their earshot, Ava pinched Ariel real hard. “Ouch! What the help Ava”! She shouted.

“Why did you tell him where we were?” Ava whisper shouted at her.

“What’s wrong with the park? And an evening walk? That was literally the perfect excuse”! Ariel retorted.

“Except we were at the park so that was not just some excuse.” Ava huffed.

“No, but we didn’t go for a walk. We went to play baseball” Ariel glared at her.

“Yeah, I doubt Ashton would mind us playing baseball”. Ava rolled her eyes.

“He probably won’t. But he might not react so well as to why we were playing baseball with unknown teenagers”. Ariel scoffed.

“What do you mean why”? Ava frowned. “I just love baseball” she shrugged.

“Yeah? You didn’t even know what home run is”. Ariel pointed out and scoffed.

“Which is why I went to learn. I found my new hobby” Ava declared proudly.

“Yeah your new hobby was the tall pitcher of the opposite team” Ariel smirked.

Ava’s eyes widened twice as big as its size. “What do you mean?” She asked hesitantly.

“We both know what I mean. You don’t think I noticed you staring at him before we went in?” Ariel gave her sister a smug smile.

Ava frowned before mumbling, “Whatever.” Ariel was quite amused by her sister’s reaction and as much as she wanted to enjoy teasing her sister about her first crush since they moved here she didn’t want to be too mean. She knew things would turn ugly if Ava got mad for real.

“Who was the pitcher?” A deep voice came from the back making the girls turn in a reflex. They saw a smirking Caleb leaning against the door enjoying the commotion in front of him.

“When did you get here?” Ava shrieked.

“Thanks to Ashton I can sneak in on people” Caleb suppressed a laugh. “I was there the whole time. You guys were so focused on Ashton’s footsteps that you didn’t even bother with me”. He smirked.

Both Ava and Ariel looked at each other with a tinge of worry before they looked at Caleb, “Please don’t tell Ashton” Ava begged.

“We love Ashton, but he can be a bit overprotective of us,” Ariel added.

“Yeah, tell me about it” Caleb snorted. “I have to deal with him almost on a daily basis.” Caleb groaned.

“Hey, we didn’t choose him. You did” Ava said smugly.

“He told me how he met you, I agree to disagree” Caleb smiled smugly.

“Whatever.” Ava rolled his eyes.

“So? What’s his name? The baseball prince?” Caleb asked.

“Ughhh” Ava cringed. “He is not any prince. Also... I don’t know his name”

“What”? Caleb sighed. “How can you not know his name?”

“I didn’t get to ask him!” Ava shouted that regretted it immediately.

“Okay, calm down girl” Caleb patted her.

“When you had a crush on Ashton, was it hard for you to talk to him?” Ava asked.

“Well...” Caleb thought for a moment. “My crush developed gradually, so... not so much. I mean, he talks so less talking was barely an issue. My major issue was confession”.

“Wait, so you confessed first?” Ariel, who was excited jumped.

“Uh-huh” Caleb nodded. He explained to the twins everything on how they met and how they got together. Of course it kept it rated PG because they were still quite young despite their rapid growth.

Once Caleb was done both the twins seemed to be smiling from ear to ear. “Look at you, being so bold. I wish it was this easy for me” Ava sighed.

“You wanna confess?” Caleb asked.

“Not really. But I would like to talk to him. Maybe find out his name. He is really good looking” Ava sighed.

Caleb chuckled, “How long have you known that pitcher?”

“A while now. I ran into him when he came to school to pick up his brother.” She shrugged. “He is in high school, I think. He looked like it.” Ava informed him. Caleb simply nodded at her.

“Actually he is in high school. Few guys told me in the field”, Ariel added. Ava looked at her sister and almost jumped to find out a detail about him.

“Did they tell you his name?” Caleb asked. Ariel shook her head slightly in response. “Wait, does he go to our high school?” Caleb asked.

“I guess, there aren’t many schools here,” Ariel shrugged.

“Alright then. I will help you guys find him. After all he’s Ava’s first crush” Caleb teased.

“He is not my gutsy crush.”Ava prompted. “But, he is my first crush here” Ava put her face in hands as embarrassment kicked in.

Special author’s note: If this chap seems a bit rushed, it’s because it was. Due to some mishap I had to replace this chapter and thus I had to write this fast. Hopefully this isn’t too boring or random.
