Chapter Seven
Who knew there were so many different types and brands of tea! How was he meant to choose one, when there was a dozen on the shelf all saying the same thing, just in a different way and packaged so appealingly? And since he wasn’t a tea fan, he hadn’t a clue what most meant when the packaging went on and on about aroma and taste.
In the end, he’d closed his eyes and just grabbed one off the shelf. He didn’t care what the hell it was, Tripp was going to drink the swill just to make up for the mental anguish caused to Edward trying to guess what the man liked. Part of him didn’t understand why suddenly he was so determined to get the shifter something he liked. Edward wasn’t cruel, he wasn’t mean usually, but he didn’t go out of his way to pick out a drink he knew someone would want. Sure, he’d buy someone a drink, he just wouldn’t spend forty-three and a half minutes mulling and worrying over which drink.
And now he was behind schedule. He needed to check his student account to see if the accreditations had been sent through yet. He also needed to shave, shower, and eat something. If he didn’t, by the time dinner arrived he’d be starving, and when he was starving, Edward got angry, frustrated and snappish. Something to do with low blood sugar and a bad attitude, his therapist, Sebastian Sanchez had growled at him when Edward went off the other day after missing lunch.
Still annoyed about the tea—why the hell did they make it so frigging hard to choose—he opened his apartment door and hurried inside. Closing the door, he turned and stopped.
“Who the hell are you?” Shocked, he stared at the man sitting on his sofa.
“Excuse me for taking the liberty of letting myself in.”
“The liberty? You can’t just walk in and make yourself comfortable! Get out!” Edward yelled, seeing red.
“I realize this is unorthodox—”
“And you’re still here! Don’t talk, just get out!” Edward jerked the door open and waved a hand motioning the criminal out. “I’m calling my boyfriend. He’s the captain of Milson City police—”
“That’s why I’m here. David Proctor spoke to me regarding your sudden change of mind.”
“Oh, my Lord, you’re still here and talking!” Edward yelled and then snarled at his phone. Why didn’t he have Tripp’s number?
“Mr. Nelson, I am from Humans Against Paranormals—”
“Why don’t you understand ‘get out’?” Edward ranted. “And I’ll be suing Proctor. That was private information between a client and lawyer.”
“Look, you don’t appear to be aware of just how dangerous these creatures are. They have gifts that can change a human’s perspective and make them do things they don’t want to do.”
“How are you still here? I’m calling the police,” Edward said loudly as he punched 911 into his phone, though didn’t connect the call. He wasn’t afraid of this radical extremist. Edward worked out and took self-defense courses. “Why do you think I
