Chapter 9-
I had been stuck on bed rest for weeks until the anesthetic wore off and I still could not go back to school. It had been a month and a half and I was just sitting at home. Christmas was right around the corner and my mom had been decorating the house. All I had been doing is texting Dimitri 24/7 and Taylor here and there. But I enjoyed talking to Dimitri...mostly because he is my mate.
But, my father had been busy with work and I had been sitting in my bedroom one night as I watched a movie on my laptop I heard a knock on my window. I got up and looked out to find Dimitri peering in. I shook my head and rolled my eyes.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I opened my window and let him in.
"Oh someone's not happy to see me." He smiled.
"Sorry. Being stuck inside for a month and a half can turn you into a bitch." I apologized.
"It's alright. I just came to say my birthday is coming up and I know what I am doing for it."
"Oh yea...January first right?" Fuck that's soon...Taylor's word's then replayed through my head.
"Once his birthday hits he will be more dominant and possessive...becareful."
"Court? Are you alright?" He asked as I broke out of my trance.
"Yea just thinking. So what were you going to do for your birthday party? Get a bouncy castle? Party hats?" I teased.
"No I was going to come here and watch movie's with you. But seeing how much of a tease you are. I don't know if I will." He smirked.
"Awww...that's so nice, even on your birthday you're a good kid." I laughed squeezing him in a tight hug. Ignoring the annoying sparks.
"I am a nice kid aren't I?" He smirked.
"You're ruining the moment." I said squeezing him harder making him growl.
"Easy girl. I have a game tomorrow."
"Aww...I haven't even come to see you play...and I haven't been on the ice in so long." I pouted crossing my legs sitting next to him.
"You'll be back soon, Court. Just give it time." He said laying back on my bed.
"So did they give you a time update?"
"I'm not coming back any time before christmas. That's for sure." I sighed rolling my eyes.
"Yea but just think when you come back you will be all better. Would you rather go back now and hurt someone?"
"You're right..." I sighed.
"Of course I am." He smirked.
"So what do you want for your birthday?" I asked.
"Nothing. I'm not one for gifts."
"Nothing? That's no fun." I said.
"Make me cookies." He said.
"Cookies? Assorted?"
"That would be nice." He smiled.
"Alright I can do cookies. Any other requests?"
"Just a big special hug." He said all innocently.
"How about I give you a big special kick in the teeth?" I teased.
"See there's that violence." He tsk-ed jokingly. I sighed and crawled back on my bed and laid down beside him. I played with the string on his hoodie as he picked at my hair.
"I miss socializing."
"You're socializing right now."
"Yea but you can only come once in a blue moon. You can't come everyday."
"Don't worry, Court when you come back I will talk to you 24/7 even if you tell me to stop I will still talk to you."
"Thanks." I laughed. We talked for another hour, before he had to go.
"Alright I got to get going since I have a game tomorrow." He said getting up from my bed. I walked him to my...window. That sounds weird. And he opened and put one foot out.
"So you comin' up on your birthday?" I asked.
"Don't worry it's not far away." He smiled.
"Trust me when you're living like me. It is."
"Don't think about it as much. Take up a new hobbie."
"Yea I'll get right on that." I said rolling my eyes.
"You're so negative."
"Because I'm bo-" I said but he stepped back out of my window and kissed me softly. I froze. It's like my body exploded. Tingles shot everywhere and I stopped myself from just grabbing him.
Self control, Courtland...It's just a small kiss with the hottest guy in your school who also happens to be your mate.
No biggie right?
Just as it started getting more intimate he stopped and pulled away.
"Someone's coming. I'll see you later." He whispered pressing one last small kiss to my lips and hopping out and shutting the window. Just then my door opened and I spun.
"What are you doing?" My dad asked suspiciously.
"What are you doing?" I asked back.
"I asked you first."
"I'm...standing." I said crossing my arms.
"Stubborn like your mother." He sighed. Suddenly a low and dangerous growl came and my dad went pale. I laughed, that was mom.
"Face it dad...Nick was right. You're whipped." I laughed.
"I know I am I just don't admit that to your brothers. Mom made cookie's and wants to know if you want any."
"Yes!" I loved mom's chocolate chip cookies. They were delicious. I skipped right past him and down the stairs and the delicious chocolate aroma hit me like a tidal wave.
"Good job mom." I said.
