Nightbound Oneshots [more coming soon]

Jacqueline's return

"Uh, rook... What the hell are you doing?", Nik was confused as he discovered his girlfriend running back and forth. One moment Alexis was in the kitchen baking something, then cleaning the livingroom and now she decided to sit on the dining table to craft something. It was early in the morning and he never saw her that hyper than ever.

"Nik, change your clothes now!!!"

"What's wrong with my every day outfit, rook?"

"You look like a nighthunter."

"But I am a nighthunter."

"Not today. Now hurry!! Wear a decent suit.", she commanded him without meeting his eyes as she was focused on what seemed like creating a beautiful card.

"Could you tell me what the hell is going on? Why're you so..."

"Nik, my mother is coming today!!"

"What?!!!"

"I said that my mom's comin..."

"The hell with that!! I heard you already, but why??! Weren't we both just recently in Wyoming and celebrated with her Christmas?", Nik panicked and also began to ran back and forth, not knowing what to do.

Yes, you heard correctly. Alex's mother, Jacqueline Fontaine was back in New Orleans and ready to meet her daughter to reunite with her again. She just texted her that she just landed with her private jet and might be on her way to them soon. Last Christmas, Alex and Nik visited the wealthy business woman and accountant in Wyoming to spend some time together, reunite and let Alex introduce Nik Ryder as her boyfriend which was a wish from her mother. That time Nik may have revealed himself as a nighthunter as Jacqueline Fontaine herself revealed that she's aware about the supernatural side of the world, but meeting her now all of a sudden and unprepared? Will Nik still be able to hold the good impression he once made to Alex's mother?

"But rook, why suddenly all of this? Did something happen?", Nik got worried and watched how she ran towards to check the oven and then returned back to him.

"Nothing. She just texted today, missed me and wanted to spend some time with me like in the good old days. Because tomorrow's Mother's Day. Now please stop talking, I have an apple pie in the oven and I need to concentrate on the card I'm crafting for her. Everything needs to be perfect.", she looked a bit stressed and in a hurry without meeting his eyes.

"Can I help you with something?"

"Yeah, go and buy some flowers for my mother."

"Aren't the card and the pie enough? I think your mother will be just pleased to see you again and..."

"Nik, the flowers!!! Now!!! And then change into some nice clothes when you're back. Hurry!!!", she yelled and he did as she wished him to. Afterall, his girlfriend's mother is coming today and Alex knew her better than him, so he trusted her with the choices. Better try to impress the guest while listening to her orders because wanted the best for themselves and Jacqueline.

After a little while, Nik finally returned back with a bouquet of fresh roses and showed them to Alex. The girl was suddenly preparing a chocolate cake.

"Uhh, what happened to the apple pie?"

"Got burned. We're having a chocolate cake for dessert instead. But Nik, why did you bought red roses?"

"Because they're your favorite flowers, so I assumed your mom would love..."

"But she loves a cactus."

"A cactus? The one which stings when you touch it? But that's not even a flower? How should I know?!!!"

"Fiiiiine, chocolate cake and roses instead. They're okay too.", his girlfriend agreed while cleaning their livingroom now.
