My Wolf-man

Chapter 16 ~ The Beginning

So, apparently I'd slept for a day and a half. Oops. Aiden had to wake me up because we had to fly out that night and I probably would have missed the plane if he didn't.

And then I started to get all excited. I was finally moving. Away from my childhood, my home, the only place I'd really ever known, considering I hardly remembered my old home. And I was moving with my mate, and my best friend.

There's nothing more I could have wanted in my whole life.

Aiden left to pick up Lucy, seeing as though no one would pick her car up from the Airport when we got there, so it's easier if she came with us.

While he was gone, I went through my suitcase and grabbed the comfiest thing I saw for the plane. Aiden told me it was a long haul flight, like 11 hours or something, so I figured may as well make myself comfy while I was at it.

I ended up grabbing a pair of dark grey drawstring tracksuit pants that had a tight elastic-like end, with black pockets that had silver zippers on them. They looked chic and mega comfy at the same time. I found white NIKE singlet top with the black flower and stripes on it, and a black sports bra. I grabbed a pair of underwear too, and went into the bathroom to change.

I racked my fingers through my hair to smooth out all of the knots that had come up while sleeping, and tied it up into a loose ponytail. Some strands had come out to frame my face, but I couldn't be bothered to fix them. I finger-brushed my teeth because I didn't want to have smelly breath.

If the plane flight was 11 hours, I probably wouldn't get the chance to properly brush my teeth.

By the time I was done, I heard Aiden's arrival at the house, and I ran downstairs to greet them.

Lucy's excited state when she saw me made me giggle loudly, and we collided in a cheerful embrace. She handed me a medium-sized gift bag with a pretty pink ribbon attached to the top. I looked at her questioningly.

"It's an early-graduation/going away present, seeing as though you won't be graduating here," she explained. Tears welled up in my eyes. She was so sweet! I loved her!

"You didn't have to do that," I gushed through my tears. But I was really grateful. I gave her a massive hug.

"Open it, open it!" she squealed. I laughed, but pulled her hand until we were sitting down on the couch. I untied the ribbon, and looked inside to find a pair of thick winter slippers. They were white, with two small, white pom-poms hanging on strings from the top of the boot. I could see a thick layer of fur on the inside to keep my feet warm. HOLY!

"Oh my gosh Lucy! These look amazing!!" I exclaimed. "I'm going to wear them right now." Putting them on, it was like walking onto cloud 9 itself. I felt my eyes roll into the back of my head, which got a laugh from Lucy.

"These are the best things ever invented. What're they called?" I asked.

"Uggs," she replied.

Aiden walked back into the room and saw me modelling my new Uggs. He laughed, a twinkle forming in his eyes.

"Trying to outdo me in the gifts Lucy?" he said, amused.

"Of course not," she said, rolling her eyes. She paused, "Actually maybe," she added. I laughed, along with Aiden.

"I love them," I gushed, giving her another hug.

"You're welcome," she replied.

"Okay ladies, are we ready to go?" Aiden asked.

"Yes!" Lucy and I squealed at the same time.

"Sang, Lucy's stuff is already in my car. Go up and get your suit case and bring it down. I made sure that it was packed before I left. Did you zip it up when you went in there?" he asked me.

I nodded, making my way upstairs to get my suitcase. I found it lying open, but everything was still neatly packed inside. Oops so maybe I didn't shut it.

I grabbed the top of the suitcase, and struggled to flop/pull it closed. Jeepers it was heavy and I hadn't even picked it up off of the floor yet. I grabbed the zipper and zipped it all the way up.

"Aiden" I said through our bond.

"Yes, luna?" he responded.

"Can... you come help me? This thing is really heavy," I asked.

I heard him chuckle through our bond. "Of course."

His footsteps announced his presence. He came past me and picked it up. I could see the muscles in his arms bulge, making my knees week.

"Theres a handle here, see?" he pointed as he pulled up and a long protruding metal handle with two bars became visible. "And it has wheels at the bottom, so it's easy to move around. But I have to take it down the stairs first, so watch out," he said as he picked it up and began walking.

Together we climbed down the stairs, and he put the suitcase down. He gave it to me to roll to the car while he grabbed his stuff, and we walked out to the car to meet Lucy. She was leaning against the door, one earphone in her ear attached to her phone. Her head was bobbing to the song she was listening to.

She looked up when she saw us and smiled. She helped Aiden put the things in the back of the car, and we all piled in. I ended up sitting in the passenger side, and she sat in the back while Aiden drove, of course.

"What are you going to do with the car?" I asked. 

"I'll get someone to drive it back here," he replied. I was kind of confused, but I didn't press. I was too excited to ask questions.

We drove for a few minutes before Lucy pulled out her headphones.

"Oh my god you have to listen to this song!" she exclaimed, passing her phone so Aiden could plug it into the speakers in the car.

"What's it called?" I asked.

"Young and dumb by Raquel Castro," she replied.

A nice beat began playing on the speaker, and by the second chorus, I knew most of the words. Lucy and I began jamming it out in the car, singing along to the beat. Aiden must've thought we were crazy, but he didn't say anything. Just stared at us and laughed, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.

If this was the beginning of the holiday, I was loving it already.
