Melting Ice

Chapter 31

Cato

I wake up the next morning with my beautiful girlfriend snuggled up next to me. I wrap my arms around her, to keep her warm and I love holding her. Minuets later, she turn over, doesn't say anything, just kisses me.

"I love you", she says sleepily.

"I love you more", I reply. One day, I am going to marry her. One day.

"Not possible", she says cuddling me tighter.

"Very possible", I say holding her tighter.

Luckily, we don't have any plans for this morning. I have to go and collect some information from where I'm studying but that's not until later. So I enjoy being with Clove in just our underwear and bra(I'm not wearing a bra). She sits up slightly before just laying on top of me, looking like a star fish. Having her body pressed up against mine makes me feel wonderful. Softly, I run my hands along her back and as far as I can reach on her legs. Clove props her self us so she is sitting on my underwear. I rub my hands on my hips and bum, slowly edging down her underwear. I stop for a second, panicked, then remember that Isabelle has Brianna overnight as we got back early morning. Then I continue until we are both naked.

"Hey um, are we trying for another baby?", I ask her not caring about killing the mood.

"Not yet", she says running her hands over my abs. So I get protection from the draw beside our bed, you never know when you will need it, and put it into place. Clove bites her lip impatiently until I'm ready. Then I get a grip on her hips and listen as she moans in pleasure.

By the time get out of bed, we are very hot and a bit sweaty.

"I have to go down to the train centre to meet the new students", Clove tells me once we are all cleaned up and the bed sheets are changed.

"When?", I ask wrapping my arms around her waist as she ties her ponytail.

"After you've collected your stuff, so you can stay if you want", Clove says.

"I have to get Brianna enrolled into preschool babe", I whine slightly, "Tell me all about when you get home".

I keep arm firmly wrapped around Clove until I have to let go.

"I'm gonna miss you, my head trainer. I can't believe you have come this far!", I tell her.

"Okay mum", she moans, "I will see you later", Clove balances on her toes to reach up and kiss me softly, "I love you". Clove slowly jogs in, looking behind her at me as I yell, "I love you to beautiful".

Instead of picking up Brianna straight away, I do a bit of shopping. Just a few bits for Clove as a congratulations type thing. I look through many shops until I decide on a graduation cupcake and a photo album which I will fill with Clato moments, we have plenty of those!

Isabelle and Jay live in a smaller house in the victors village, perfect for them really. I knock on the dark wooden door, which is then opened by Isabelle with Brianna on her hip.

"Daddy!", she squeals.

"Hey there my little princess!", I say taking her off Isabelle and into my arms, "Thanks so much Isabelle", I say.

"No problem. Oh, and family dinner at Fratellies tonight?", she asks. Fratellies is an amzing Italian restaurant in the town square.

"What time?".

"Six", Isabelle tells me. Good, Clove will love that.

"Great, I will see you there!".

It is amazing who Brianna looks like. Usually, it's either your mother or father you look alike but Brianna is a mix. Her hair is a soft light brown colour but in certain lights looks more blonde and the fact that she has no freckles comes from me but her deep blue/green eyes clearly come from Clove.

"Where are we going daddy?", asks Brianna holding onto my hand smiling.

"I have to get you enrolled into little school princess, so you need to be a good girl", I crouch down so I am at her level, "But I know that won't be a problem because your wonderful", Brianna smiles gently at this and them we continue to walk until we get to the preschool.

The receptionist instantly recognises me and stand up.

"Cato Hadley, it is an honer", she says smiling widely.

"Thank you. I'm here to find out when Brianna can be enrolled?".

"Let me get the head to come and speak with you. One second. Please, take a seat", she gestures to the purple couch. The couch is comfy, but also not comfy. At first it is, but then it's becomes the same as any couch. Brianna sits beside me twiddling her fingers round and round.

"Did you enjoy district 4?", I ask her.

"Yes, daddy. It was amazing", she says smiling at me.

A women, must be in her forties, walks in from a door which I only just notice.

"I'm Sandra, head of the pre school. You must be Brianna", she introduces, then crouches down to say the last part.

"It's very nice to meet you", says Brianna quietly then holds her hand out for Sandra to shake.

"I have never met such a bright young little girl", says Sandra, clearly shocked.

"We believe that she has develop very quickly", I tell her trying to sound sophisticated.

"She is indeed, Mr Hadley", agrees Sandra.

"Please, call me Cato", I say shaking her hand.

"Very well. Now, would you like a tour?", she suggests.

"That would be wonderful, thank you", I reply standing up.

"Thank you", Brianna adds. Before we leave, I quickly check to see if Brianna's face and hands are clean. Spotless. Not a single speck of dirt or dust on her polka dot dress.
