Chapter 13: Reject?... I love you, you idiot!!!

Since I've learnt about the whole werewolf thing and found my mate things were pretty good. For once in my life I genuinely had friends in high school. My friends didn't care if I had famous parents. Heck, it was after our friendship was well on its way that I told them and nothing between us change.

Celeste, Luke and I have become really close but not too close. Luke and Nick are best friend but I have no doubt Nick's possessiveness would lead to a dead Luke. Soccer was going great, no more sexist remarks except from our opponents but after getting their ass kicked they finally did something right. This was none other than shutting the hell up.

Now tonight is my birthday and I'm so happy I could finally share it with some genuine friends and my mate. We had so much fun together although I could see that Nick was really not into the dancing. The fact that he didn't complain about it and decided to stay by my side all night really made me happy.

He was perfect. The gossip I heard when I first came to school about him made me realize something. That is, I don't care. Many people do stuff from there past but if they are willing to change we should give them a chance to do so.

I mean I caught him kissing blondie when we first met. He was a player and I get it. After that one time with the kiss, I saw how he regretted it and I gave him a chance to prove that he could be an excellent mate. He hasn't failed me and I know he doesn't plan on ever doing it.

We did have problems. For instance, all his crazy ex's aka blondie. She is like ten ex-girlfriends in one. Not to mention his disturbing track record with women. We still have tiny problems but they aren't anything to blow up about.

Looking at him right now as he pulls me away from the party I just take my time to admire him. A month and three weeks and he has changed a lot. I love him and tonight I'm ready to tell him exactly that.

I've known for a month now how I felt, it's crazy to fall so quickly. I could hide it for a longer time but what is the point? Fate decided that we were perfect for each other already. So whether I tell him tonight, a week from now or a month from now I will feel the same as I do today.

We stopped on the patio that had a good view of the ocean and forest. The night was beautiful. Nick pulled me into his arms so that my back was pressed up against his hard chest. So much electricity running through me from contact and I knew he felt it too. His heart beat was a dead giveaway.

"The night is wonderful. Don't you think?" He mumbled a reply in my neck which I sure didn't understand and I knew from that, that he didn't give a crap about how wonderful the night really was.

Pulling away from his embrace earned me small whimper from him. It was so cute but I giggled at his reaction anyway. He was definitely not amused by me openly laughing at him and it made me laugh even harder.

"Stop laughing. There is nothing funny about it." So cute when he whined but nonetheless I tried my best to calm my laughter. When I was done an amused smile was left on my lips.

"I know it's my birthday but I have something to give you."

"You know it's not normal for the birthday girl to be giving out presents on her birthday right?"

"I think you'll like this one and I didn't want to wait." Curiosity was written all over his face and it made me smile. He looked so childlike.

"I Athena Morgan re-." I didn't get to tell him I really love him as he cuts me off. He didn't look happy. His expression was on the borderline of hurt and anger. I wonder what is up with that.
