Chapter57
“She is funny, like a mother hen!” I said with a smile.

“That she is.” He smiled at me, and with that the tension between us was gone. We giggled a bit, like teenagers again and started a light conversation. Time seemed to fly, our milkshakes gone, but we didn’t care. We talked about everything – our childhood, our dreams, our work, music, movies, everything. Nick turned out to be a very interesting guy and I hoped he found me interesting well, we had similar likes and dislikes, views on life, even though we were from two completely different worlds. I realised, that I finally felt happy.
After a couple of hours, when the diner was finally closing, we decided to head home. I felt a bit disappointed that our date had to come to an end, but then I remembered, that we did live together, so that doesn’t mean that I won’t see him again until the next date. If one would be. But I hoped there would be another one. We were mates after all, there should be another one, and another, and another, right?…
Don’t panic, Emily, he is not going anywhere… My inner voice said. I really hoped he wouldn’t. I liked him, I really did. He was great. Attentive, polite, gentle, clever, funny, strong… He made me feel safe, important and, well, just on top of the world.
We arrived home a little after 9pm. The light in the house were turned on and there were a couple of cars parked in the driveway. Nick helped me get out of the car again and slowly we walked to the house. He was walking on my bad side, so that I wouldn’t need to use my cane, and I found that I was more comfortable in using him as my support system, than a pease of wood. Maybe it was just
because I liked his touch
He stopped suddenly right before the front door and turned to look at me.
“Emily…” he said quietly and with an intense look in his eyes. What was that? I couldn’t understand, but I suddenly felt all hot and bothered. Like there was a pool of butterflies deep in my belly. Was he… Noooo, it couldn’t be. But maybe?… Nooo… No way… It did look like he wanted to… kiss me? Oh god, if he did… Than that, that would be my first kiss… Well, apart from that sloppy one in my, what grade it was, fifth? Please, please, dear universe, I want that kiss, now!
As if he read the truth in my eyes, his head slowly lowered to my level. His eyes turned a couple of shades darker, and I was sure mine did as well. His lips were parted slightly, a light breath fanned
my nose.
“Can I?…” he asked in a gentle whisper.
“Yes…” I exhaled and not a second later it happened. My first kiss ever. How ironic, I was already heavily pregnant, with a baby girl on the way, with a degree in my pocket, but here and now I was sharing my first kiss with a man that suddenly stole not only my breath, but my heart as well. I was
doomed.

The kiss was so gentle and light, that my heart weeped a bit. But It felt magical. His sift lips were warm and soft, but the fire the kiss help was scalding. Now the butterflies were having a WW3 in my belly, my body was on fire while his lips gently moved against mine. Each second passed with the kiss evolving onto something more, it was as if he was transferring some of his feelings to me and they were taking roots deep in my soul. I felt passion, fire, want, need and to contrast it all hope. It brought happy tears to my eyes, but I didn’t care, I responded to the kiss with all I had. It was enchanting, like something took over my lips and they moved on their own accord. All the insecure thoughts of mine vanished into thin air. Even if it was my first kiss and I had no idea what to do with my lips, it didn’t matter, it was perfect.
I don’t know ow long we stood on the front porch kissing, but at some point it all calmed down and our lips parted. Nick’s forehead was pressed to mine, our eyes still closed, breathing hard. I discovered that my hands were gripping his t–shirt so hard, that it wrinkled, and his hands were gently cupping my cheeks, thumbs wiping my happy tears away. And then he opened his eyes, so did I. The look we shared was so intimate and so… connected. Was that the mate bond? I don’t know, but if it was, I didn’t mind, it was wonderful. The best first kiss ever. And my baby seemed in total agreement with me, not kicking, but gliding inside my belly like a gold fish in a small tank. Remind me not to tell anyone I compared my baby to a gold fish. I sure hope she has more brain power than
those creatures…
“Thank you” I whispered quietly.
“For what?” he asked a bit confused.
“For the perfect first kiss…” I answered him shyly with a tinge of red on my cheeks.
He laughed a bit and kissed my nose.
“That was my first as well.” He finally said with a huge grin on his face. My eyes bulged at that.
“No way!” I said in disbelief.
“Emily, I’m a werewolf, we wait for our mate in everything, even in innocent kisses” he responded. with a gentle smile.
“Oh…” was all I said. How could I forget about that?
He laughed again and touched my nose with his in a cat kiss. We stood there for a little while longer, but my pregnant bladder decided to break up the party.
“I need to go to the ladies room…” I said disappointed. Nick’s eyes filled with worry instantly.
“Of course!”
But we didn’t manage to get anywhere from our spot, because the door suddenly opened and we were met with a grimly looking doc Evans.
“Sorry to break your moment, kids, but we have a problem….”
