***Abby’s Point of View***
It was almost time for Lizzy to come over and help me pack so I figured I should head home with all my purchases. I didn’t really mean to buy this much but the thought of Lizzy finding her mate before me was frustrating. I mean she didn’t even know that she was wolf let alone that she had a mate. Why couldn’t I find a mate? I was pretty enough and in hell of good shape. But all I could find were the one night stands. Don’t get me wrong those are nice every once in a while but it would be nice to have something steady.
I needed to get my head out of these depressing thoughts before she gets here so I went to take a relaxing bath with some candles and oils. Thinking that maybe a quick soak in the tub with some lavender would maybe help my mood and if nothing else my sore muscles. I worked them a little to hard earlier trying to forget everything.
I must’ve fallen asleep in the tub because next thing I knew I heard Lizzy banging on the door to come let her in. I hurriedly got out of the tub and wrapped myself up in a towel to go let her in.
“What were you doing? Sleeping”?
“Something like that. I was in the tub trying to relax actually”.
“Tough work out or tough day at work”?
“Workout. As usual I never know when to quit”.
Shaking her head at me she smiled and walked to my living room to have a seat. I went and got dressed so we could start our girls night and packing. When I returned though Lizzy wasn’t looking to good.
“What’s up girl? You don’t look so hot”?
“I don’t feel so hot either. I have been getting really bad headaches for the last few days. I can’t seem to shake them”.
“Maybe you should go get checked out”.
“Thought about it but I’m headed home this weekend to so maybe mom will have something to help”.
“You are going home to this weekend? You never told me that”!
“It was going to be a surprise for when you went home to. Having your best friend here and at home should make your stay a little easier and mine”.
“Lord only knows what your brothers have planned for you”.
“My thoughts exactly”.
We were both lost in our own thoughts after that. We drank some wine ate snacks and watched bad comedy movies until it got late and she needed to head home. We didn’t get any packing done which I knew we wouldn’t but it was nice to just spend some time with her. Although I did worry about her headaches but maybe it was just her wolf trying to come forward where she has found her mate.
***Lizzy’s Point of View***
It was nice to spend sometime with Abby before I left for the weekend and didn’t have time when we got home. It was kinda nice growing up together then deciding to live in the same city. We were never to far apart from each other.
I just couldn’t shake the feeling that she was keeping something from me though. It’s dumb I know but it wouldn’t be the first time we keep stuff from each other if we thought it was for the best. Maybe mom will have some insight to it when we get there Friday afternoon. That reminds me I need to tell Nick some of the details. I pick up the phone to call him but he was calling me. I couldn’t help but smile as I answered the phone.
“Well hello there handsome. What do I owe the pleasure of speaking with you”?
“Just needed to hear your voice and making sure you made it home alright”.
“Awww was the big bad wolf worried for me”? I said with a giggle.
“Maybe just a little bit. With your headaches and all”.
“Anyways I was gonna call you and let you know that I would like to leave Friday morning so we could get there in the afternoon”.
“Sound like a plan to me. I will pick you up around 7ish. Sound good”?
“Sounds good to me. See you on Friday”.
“Goodnight gorgeous. Sweet dreams”.
With that I hung up otherwise I didn’t think I would have had the strength to do so. I could have listened to his voice all night until I fell asleep. Something about him reminds me of home. When ever I am with him I feel completely safe and knowing that kinda scares me just a little bit. I really hope that what ever mom has to tell me will clear everything up.
***Nicks Point of View***
It was Friday morning and I got up a little early so I could make sure everything was ready to go for the road trip. I rented a small suv to hopefully help with some of Lizzy’s nerves about the conversation that awaited us. I made sure it had heated seats and an aux port so she could hook her phone right up to the car and play her favorite music. Now all I needed to do was grab my bag and make sure that I have everything that is going to be needed. Going through a mental checklist I take note of everything that I have and once I’m satisfied I grab my jacket and head for the door.
While grabbing for the keys my phone starts to ring.
“Hello”?
“Hey there dear. How are you doing? I’m told that you are going to meet her folks this weekend”.
“I’m fine mom and how did you find that out? I only told one other person where I was going that way he could take over for me”.
“You should know that boy can’t keep anything from me. All it took was his favorite dessert and he singing Dixie”.
“That trader. I will have to yell at him later for it”.
“Don’t be to hard on him. Let me know how this weekend goes hunny. I’m hoping for the best”.
“I will mom as I am hoping for the best as well. Talk to you soon love you”.
“Love you to son. Your dad will need to talk to you soon so don’t forget”.
“I won’t forget but I can’t give him the answer that he wants right now”
“I know dear. Just remember all good things take time. Have a good weekend dear”.
With that we hung and I turned off my phone. No one needed to remind me of how lucky I was that she was giving me another chance. I was very well aware of just how lucky I was when she invited me on this weekend get away to try and understand me and my world better. My only hope for this weekend was that she actually accepts me and my wolf.
With thoughts about this weekend aside I stop to fill up the car before I head over to Lizzy’s. It was a chilly morning but I didn’t mind one bit. It was nice to be heading out of the city and I couldn’t wait.
