What A Life(Book 3 of My Life Flipped)

Thanksgiving (Knight style)

It had been a month or so since the near death experience happened. I was mostly better and Thanksgiving was that night. We had decided to spend it with EJ's family since the closet relatives were in LA and they didn't want to come up here. Well I guess we couldn't talk since we weren't planning on going down to LA. EJ said his closets family was like in the east coast or London or something like that. Our compromise was they hold thanksgiving and my family would hold Christmas.

     It was pouring snow outside. "Great," I muttered to myself. I took my hair, which was now just below my waist and pulled half of it up leaving the rest to tumble in curls. I was wearing a light blue sweater dress, with black, really warm legging type things. I wore blue earrings in the shape of a heart and a necklace to match it. I paired it with black, swede boots.

     "Katerina, hurry up," my mother called from down the hall. I finished with the mascara and grabbing my jacket and phone ran into, then out my door. I made it down the stairs and my dad asked, "Thud?" I laughed, blushing, and then replied, "Me and door." He nodded and my mom opened the door welcoming the cold air. I shuddered and picked up Arabella so she didn't have to walk through the snow. My father had picked up Nickolas and we were off to get into my dad's Mercedes.

     I helped Arabella and Nickolas get strapped into their car seats and then quickly jumped in the car slamming the door. "Ready?" my dad asked. "Si Senor," I replied. "Spanish, nice," he commented. I laughed smiling and my dad took off through the snow. The drive was slow and the car was not four wheel drive and when we were about half way their the car huffed then stopped. "Told you we should of taken my Jeep," I said. He gruffed and got out of the car.

     "Pushing time," my dad announced with a fake smile. "What about mom?" I asked. He shook his head and we put our hands to the car and started pushing. Surprisingly, it was moving! We were like a few minutes or so away from EJ's driveway when my phone buzzed. Leaning against the car, I pulled my phone out of my boot and answered it.

     "H-Hello," I said. "Katerina, where are you?" EJ's voice said through the phone. "Freezing my butt off trying t-to p-push my d-dad's s-stupid car," I replied. "Where are you?" he asked. "Not far from y-your h-house." He didn't respond but a couple minutes later EJ, Chase, Anthony, and Mr. Knight were outside helping us lug it the rest of the way up. I sprinted for EJ's house, running yet again into the door, then opening it throwing myself inside its warmth.

     "Warmth," I tried to say quietly. "Katerina, come here hon," said Mrs. Knight by a fire. I sprinted for it, putting my hands right in front of it. "Why so cold?" she asked. "My dad and I pushed his car up here. it isn't four wheel drive," I said, soaking in the warmth of the fire. "Oh dear, where is your father?" she asked, just as he stepped through the door. "Oh, oh come here," Mrs. knight called to my father.

     He shook his head no, and went to sit on the couch, where Arabella and Nickolas were having a difficult time getting on. EJ came down next to me and wrapped his arms around me. "Warm?" he whispered into my ear. "Extremely," I replied, leaning into him. "Dinner will be in thirty minutes," Mrs. Knight said, leaving the room, my mom following her. I could feel the cold of something his EJ and I turned to see EJ's older brother Chase with another snowball in hand.

    I moved as EJ stood and ran at his older brother, tackling him outside into the snow. I got up and Kristy, Olivia, and I watched as Chase, EJ, and Anthony had a snowball fight. "Boys never grow up do they?" asked Kristy, the youngest of both of us. Olivia laughed and said, "Not even in college." I smiled, shaking my head. A snowball came towards us and we all ducked. Instead, Mrs. Knight was hit in the stomach.

     I cupped my hand to my mouth, trying to muffle my laughter. "Excuse me, ladies," Mrs. Knight said, stepping past us. "BOYS," she yelled. Their snowballs fell and their expressions were of pure terror. I started walking innocently away and as did Kristy and Olivia. We went up to Olivia's room, though she was in college, she got to keep her room. I sat down on her bed. "Those boys are in for it," Olivia said, smirking. I laughed.

     "What would their punishment be?" asked Kristy. Olivia shrugged and said, "Probably just a stern talking to. Mom is a little to nice on people in general." Olivia was re-doing her pink lipstick. I got up and said, "I am going to go to the bathroom." I headed into the bathroom to find out that my period was happening. I kicked the vanity and then checked under the sink. I thanked go that their were girls that lived in the house, I had found a package of pads. I grabbed one and placed it on my underware.

     I smiled and I heard a knock on the door. I jumped and then EJ's voice said, "Time to eat, little dove." I quickly came out of the bathroom and EJ stood there, I kissed him. He took my hand and together we walked down the stairs to his dining room.

Food, was the first though that had crossed my head. EJ had told me to starve myself because his family cooked tons of food. I sat down in between EJ and Arabella. All along the table was food, various sorts, turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes, so much food, some I didn't know the name of or have ever seen in my lifetime. I dug right in and as did everyone else. I swear if the Knight's had waiters they would be serving the food.

     At my end of the table Anthony and EJ had started a mini food fight between themselves. I had to muffle my laughter so Mrs. Knight did not assume anything. I had an awesome time and after dinner, pumpkin pie, cheesecake, and something that looked like pumpkin pudding was brought out. I tried everything and the pudding was pumpkin. I could honestly say I was stuffed!

     I literally had EJ carry me to a couch, he could carry me though. EJ sat down next to me and I shifted my position so that my head was on EJ's lap. Anthony came into the living room with whip cream covering his face, I laughed, my legs spasming out. Chase came running out, whip cream in hand. "No," I screamed. It didn't stop him from spraying EJ and I with whip cream. Mrs. Knight came into the room and said, "Chase Adam Knight, just because you are legally an adult does not give you the right to spray people with whip cream!"

     I would swear that Chase was tempted to spray his mom, but he resisted the urge. I went upstairs with EJ and we cleaned ourselves off. I kissed the whip cream off his lips and he chuckled. He tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear and kissed my forehead. 

     We walked down the stairs and in my head I claimed this to be the best Thanksgiving of my life. EJ was with me, which made everything complete. The night went on and when we got home (let's just say a car going down hill is a fun sled) I could not wipe the smile off my face. Tragedies happen, but love shall push you through them all.
