Chapter 86: Birthday wishes.
"Oh come on. I thought you would tell each other things.." Ava said disappointedly.
"Okay. I'm very angry with you now." Cali shouted and got up. Quickly, I caught her arm before she could move an inch. "I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you about it. You know I would do that if I had the chance. There were things lurking over, so many troubles, thoughts or even Stefan himself would make you forget all."I explained..
She turned, smiled and sat back down beside me. I knew she wouldn't be angry with me for a long time. "So we found out that Stefan was my foster mother's son. It was like the moon goddess was shipping us into siblings rather than the actual soulmates." I joked.
"I know right?. What if..the moon goddess asks you to reject Stefan as a mate and so you two can become siblings.?" Cali asked, making Ava laugh. She's so unbelievable.
"Are you kidding me?I would disown my mom." I responded and the both of them burst out laughing harder than I thought. "It's not funny. I'm gonna do that if the situation presents itself that way."
"Not when he fucked you." Cali added into her laugh. "Ooh. He already went down the lane." Ava sang teasingly.
"Oh please, don't tell me Edward hasn't." I said.
She scoffed, "No. He hasn't." She stated.
She sobered up and relaxed on the couch, "Why?. Are you okay?." I asked carefully.
She shook her head, "I'm fine. Perfectly fine, it isn't Ed but me. I don't know but I feel scared to do it. I heard it hurts like hell. But shit, I haven't braced up." She told us.
"Girl. It isn't painful, mine wasn't." I said.
"Don't mind her. Her mate's a witch, a powerful one. She didn't feel anything because he healed her before she got to know about it, but werewolves don't have powers, they only have supernatural strength but they can't stop your pain when you bleed."
"Oh, don't get her scared." I hit her. "No, it's better I tell the truth. But during bleeding, he could make it pleasurable, he would bite you, and that electriculating sparks coming afterwards would make you forget about the pain."
"You seem to know about them well." Ava said. I almost said the same too. "The kid who broke my hymen was a werewolf."
Huh!.
"Are you trying to say that Aaron didn't..." Ava pulsed and looked at me.
"Yes. I dated a guy who was in highschool. He was in senior year, he actually raped me." She summarized not wanting to go through the details. I held onto her shoulder, comforting her.
"That's enough. I'm going to get some sleep now." I told them and stood up.
I baded them goodnight and walked into the room. I put on the light and stood surprised to see Stefan looking at me. I checked my wrist watch. It was 3:21am in the morning and he hadn't slept.
"Why are you awake?." I asked, then walked further. I took off my wrist watch. "I was waiting for you." I turned.
"Why?." I asked and started pulling down my gown.
"Because I felt your sadness. One minute you're happy and the next your heart is aching. Why?." He asked.
Our bond is too strong, he could feel my pain, my emotions and myself.
And for the reason why I was sad was because Cali told me she was raped in highschool. It wouldn't feel right if I told Stefan about it.
"I know." He said. I slipped into my pajamas and looked at him. "You know what?."
"I know she was raped."
"Wait, do you read my thoughts?." I questioned. He snakes his hand around my waist and pushes me down on the bed. He kissed my forehead and clung me to himself.
"I can. And you can too."
I shut up my head, "Really?." I asked. "Sure.." He responded. I listened.
I hit him, "Owl. What was that for?." He winced.. "The only damn thing running through your mind is sex. You're so naughty." I scolded. He began laughing..
"Since I thought about it, why don't I do it?.* He asked and playfully started opening my pajamas button. I pushed him away and started hitting him with a pillow.
"Okay. I'm sorry, ouch!. It's painful." He cried..I started laughing at the look on his face.
I layed back down beside him and wrapped my hand to his side. "Nellie. I have something to tell you."
"What is it?." I asked. "Till morrow.." He winked and closed his eyes. What the fuck!. You can't leave me like this." He brought out his tongue and I hit him.
"Ouch!!. It hurts.."
~Next morning ~
I opened my eyes slowly, I winced at the sudden brightness and blinked twice before opening my eyes fully.
I searched the room for my mate since his scent didn't hit me as usual, so I got off the blanket. I looked at my watch and I gasped when I saw the time. It was 1:02 pm. Shit!!. I promised Ava that I was going to help her set things for christmas. And why didn't Stefan wake me?.
Then the door burst open and everyone came throbbing in. They all carried gift boxes, balloons with them. I was surprised. I wondered what was happening. When my eyes landed on Stefan walking in, everyone screamed, "Happy birthday.."
Oh my god!. It was my birthday..how the heck did I forget my special day?. "Wow...I'm really grateful.." I appreciated with a smile pasted on my lips. Then Stefan came forward and sat beside me.
"Happy birthday, my love. You deserve the very best out of life because you are the very best thing that has ever happened to me. Happy birthday to the angel that lights up my life. I am so grateful that I was able to find my way to you, and I can love and hold you for the rest of my life." He said and handed me a box.
I smiled and opened it, it was an expensive gold necklace worth more than a million dollars. I gasped as I looked at the gold chain shining at my face.
I hugged him, "Thank you, Stefan." He stroked my hair and kissed my forehead. He then removed the gold chain that had a love pendant and a shining crystal on top, then put it around my neck.
