Bk 2 Ch 25: Kimia
“So, another hike to your favorite spot?” Nate asked after he’d shifted back to his bipedal form. We’d just left therapy, and I’d vented some of my feelings about Kam and Rose. Apparently, I’m jealous they have a relationship that I crave. One that I’d thought I’d have with Simon before he was killed.
“Not today,” I bit my lower lip. Dr. Mayfeld did give me an assignment to list attributes I’d like in a partner, and attributes I’d like them to admire about me. “I have some thinking to do.”
Nate nodded with understanding. “So, are we going to continue to torture the happy couple?”
I grinned. “Hell, yes.” I’d gotten my parents on board Sunday before Kam and R

“I’m going to put you down, bitch!” I screamed at the screen as Jimmy and I were competing in Soul Calibur. He was playing his favorite character, and I had mine.He just laughed at me. “You’ll never escape my chain sword!” His character had a sword that would extend like a chain and whip the other characters. Bastard.“Your back is weak, and I am fast.” I maneuvered my character so that she could spin and hit his character’s back. It’s a cheap shot, but one guaranteed to bring victory if repeated.“Come on, Jimmy, kick her ass,” my stupid boyfriend cheered. I snorted. He knows I could whoop his ass at this game any day of the week, if he doesn’t cheat.

*Knock, knock.* I knocked on Kimi’s door frame, and leaned against it, staring at her. She was studying on her bed and hadn’t seen me stop at her room.“Hum?” she asked without looking up.I smiled and laid down next to her. “Rose cried today.”“Why?” That got her attention. She looked at me with concern.“Well, she wanted to make sure she wasn't pregnant, so we got a test.” I paused for effect.“Is she okay?” Kimi asked.“The test was negative, by the way. But I had to ask myself why she would think she might be when we&

“She can shift!” Rose burst into my room the Monday before I had therapy. It had been almost two weeks since Dr. Mayfeld had given me the assignment to figure out what I wanted in a guy. I’d put her off last week talking about Nate, and I probably gave her the wrong idea.I was trying to get my list ready for my session when Rose burst in. “Are you talking about Mal?”“Yes!” she groaned. “The brat keeps popping up in random places as different creepy animals. Last night, I tried to go to bed, but I couldn’t. There was a capuchin named Mallory in my bed.”I laughed at the imagery. “Sounds like she’s getting pretty good at it.”Rose flopped

I was doing my homework, and having a rare moment of peace from other people, when my phone sounded. I checked the number and smiled. “Uncle Micky! To what do I owe the pleasure?”“Hey, kid,” his voice came through the phone. “I wanted to know if you and your Ma are coming up for Thanksgiving.”“I don’t know,” I answered. “Ma hasn’t told me one way or the other. Is Aunt Lulu planning on making her usual spread? Or maybe you two are going to escape your kids and travel.”Uncle Micky chuckled. “Well travel when you take over the bar. I was just concerned because my brother’s parole hearing is next week, and if things go well, he’ll be out by Thanksgiving.”

Nate was worrying me. He was a distant zombie all day. When I’d asked him about it, he told me he’d had some bad news. Considering how well he handles my shit, I knew it had to be really bad for him to zone out. “Would you like to run with me after school?” I asked him.“Not a bad idea, Kimi-cup,” he agreed. We’d met at our usual shifting spot when school let out, and ditched our stuff with Kam and Rose. She grumbled the entire time we shifted. Mal being able to shift was a harsh blow to her. I flashed a smile at Nate, then rolled my eyes at Rose’s complaints.We raced to the cover of the woods, then played a bit to let off some steam. As a species, we tend to better handle stress in our wolf forms. Simpler life, exertion of energy, stuff like that. Nate was calme

“I hope so,” I groaned. Then a thought occurred to me. “She’s not going to smell your arousal on my hand, will she?”“Who?” Kimi asked with her eyes wide and innocent. “Rose? Of course not.” She was trying not to laugh, and I bent down to nip her lip.“I’m going to go get dressed. Then I’m going to drive to the nearest mall for some epic party ideas that don’t require alcohol.” I stood up and deliberately adjusted the blanket so she got a good view of my ass. “Think I should dust off the karaoke machine, Beyonce?” I left the room, and heard a pillow hit the door.I took a deep breath. Kimi has been pushing my control lately, and she only has to kiss me. Fuck! Her mother has

“Happy Birthday!” Rose screeched as she ran across our front yards to our car. I held out my arms expecting the big birthday hug that I get every year, but she breezed past me and threw herself onto Kam. Bitch.“Wow. Seventeen years of friendship and being the first to get your birthday hugs, and I’m reduced to second string.” Nope, I wasn’t bitter at all.She and Kam just laughed, and Rose came over to hug me. “I’m sorry, Kimi. Forgive me?”I shook my head. “Nope. I’m not going to forgive this.” Of course I was going to forgive her. She’s my best friend who’s in love with my brother.Rose just grinned. “I got you a prese

“Holy shit! You didn’t have to do this!” Kam said when we pulled into the hotel parking lot. I chuckled. They hadn’t even seen the best part yet. I had word that Ray and Rina were already inside one of the king suites, and that Sue’s flight gets here in about an hour.The hotel was located about ten minutes away from the airport, and we’d booked four rooms. I may have told Mr. and Mrs. Graycort that we only had one king sized room. I needed their help to make sure Kimi and Kam had their swimsuits.“Well,” I chuckled, “my cousins and I couldn’t stand the thought of you three celebrating your birthday in a boring way. You know, sitting at home, watching movies, doing the same thing we do every weekend.”
