✓ | Melted Ice - Nolan Patrick

2.8

— December 25th —

It only took me half an hour to loosely curl my hair and apply a bit of makeup. I put on a pair of white flats and grabbed my crutches going into Nolan's room. He was laying down on his bed with his phone in front of his face.

"Let's go, I wanna meet your family," I said and Nolan looked up.

"Well shit, I may just want to keep you here for myself." He said and I felt my cheeks redden but stuck my hand out for him to take. He got up and we went downstairs where a mass of people were.

We went into the back room at the far end of the house. Most of the kids were in there meanwhile the parents were in the kitchen and living room.

"Nolie!" A little girl exclaimed and ran towards Nolan, latching onto his leg.

"Hey there little one," He said and ruffled her hair. She looked up at him with a smile, her two front teeth missing. If I didn't know better I would think she's his sister, they looked that much alike.

"Who's that?" She asked once she saw me. I smiled down at her. Nolan sat down on the floor and I carefully did so as well.

"Millie, this is my girlfriend Lila. Lils this is Millie, my youngest cousin. She's four." Nolan said and Millie smiled at me as she climbed onto Nolan's lap.

"Nolan you have a girlfriend? How did you get one that hot?" One of the boys said as his eyes were still glued to the TV.

I smirked at Nolan who rolled his eyes. Someone wasn't a huge fan of his cousin. "Lils that's Daniel. Then that's Kieran, Sam, Henry and Noah." He pointed to each one as he said their name.

None of the boys answered as they were too engrossed in their game. They were playing NHL which wasn't that big of a surprise coming that the Patricks were an insanely huge hockey family.

"Nolie," Millie began and looked up at Nolan with puppy dog eyes. "Can we play princesses?" He looked over at me, his eyes pleading for me to get him out of this situation. As if I'd do that?

"Yeah Nolie, can we play princesses?" I asked and he glared at me. He set Millie on her feet and got up, sticking his hand out for me to take.

"He's playing princesses? Yup, he's whipped."

"Shut up, Dan. When you have a girlfriend that hot you listen to her."

I let out an extremely unattractive laugh as Nolan led Millie and I to the basement. He opened the door and instantly girl's voices were heard. Nolan groaned but nonetheless helped me downstairs where a couple of girls sat.

"Nol, no boys allowed!" One of the younger girls shouted when she saw Nolan. "Wait, who's that?"

"I'm Lila," I said with a smile. Millie grabbed my hand and tried to pull me towards one of the separate rooms.

"My girlfriend," Nolan said and quickly introduced me to everyone. Once that was through Millie took both of our hands and pulled us into the room that clearly was Maddie and Aimee's old playroom.

"Okay, so I'm the little princess! ..And you're my mommy, and you're my daddy!" Millie said with a bright smile. I looked over at Nolan and he chuckled.

"Lils, can you come here?"

Aimee shouted from the other room and I carefully got up. "One second," I said and crutched out of the room and to where the girls were.

"Because Nolan sucks at introducing people, guys this is his girlfriend Lila," Maddie said and I smiled. I couldn't help but notice one of the girls had crutches besides her.

"Fellow crip, I see," I joked as I gestured towards her. She laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, I tore my ACL playing hockey. What about you?" She asked. "I'm Jess, by the way."

"I completely tore a ligament in half so I needed surgery. But I'll be cleared in a few weeks," I said and Maddie piped up.

"And then she'll be playing on Uncle James team!" She exclaimed and I nodded with a small smile. It was still a bit of a tough subject.

A few minutes later I went back to the room where Millie and Nolan were in. They were talking so I stayed outside of the room.

"Nolie, are you going to marry her?"

"It's too early to tell. She's leaving soon, but not for good. But I would like to."

"Good. She's very pretty. She should be the princess."

"I think so too."

Before I could go into the room Carrie yelled down the steps for us to come up for dinner. Millie and Nolan came out of the room and Nolan smiled at me, his arm going around my waist. We waited until everyone else had gone up so I could take my time going upstairs. However I stepped with my left leg a little too hard and cried out in pain.

"What happened?" Nolan asked frantically and I shook my head quickly. I was fine.

"Im fine."

(little rant)
im getting fed up with all of the people saying nico is better than nolan. okay yes it may be true for right now. however wasn't nolan portrayed as the number one draft pick for quite a while? the kid is only nineteen. the kid had surgery a few months ago. and i'm pretty sure he missed an entire season? i only started following up on nico and nolan when the draft rolled around so forgive me if im wrong.
