"How old are you?" Bailey asks and I only assume she's asking Tomas.
"Seventeen." He answers.
"You look about twenty."
"It's the wolf masculinity." He nods and they continue their small talk until I finally pull into my home garage. Well get out and into the elevator that takes us to our penthouse, Bailey and Tili both go upstairs but I lead Tomas to the kitchen.
I start to prepare dinner as my mom can't really do so, I basically make some roasted chicken with sweet potato's and a side of salad and Mac and cheese. I make enough for all of us and as Tili, Bailey and Tomas start to dig I grab a serving tray with two meals and bring it to my parents room.
I knock the door and hear a low growl and I take it as an invitation, I walk in seeing both my parents in wolf form cuddling on the bed. I take their food and put it on a near by counter before leaving with a smile.
Night finally falls while we all play a rough game of tag neither of us able to control our glowing eyes "You're it!" Tili starts running away form Tomas, Tomas turn in my direction and I start off running.
I go into the kitchen zoom off into our game room, I can hear Tomas behind me so I go to the pool table putting space between us. He leaps over the table taking me by surprise and I try running for safety but he grabs me "You're it!" He smiles and I push him away.
I go back into the living room finding Bailey and Tili, I smile at them and they both scatter, I take my pick following after Bailey. "Nadia!" I hear my dad call my name and I stop in my tracks "Yes dad!" I go in the direction.
"Get ready we're leaving." My father tells me from the top of the stairs.
"Okay," I nod "come on guys we need to stop." I tell them and they all come back into the living room. "Do you have a change of clothes?" I ask Tomas who's still in his uniform and he nods, I go upstairs and grab my bag of clothes.
I don't even know how tonight is going to go so I've already changed into sports shorts and a graphic shirt, I head out meeting Tomas back downstairs. We wait a while and then Bailey and Tili finally show back up.
"Got it!" I reach out to Tomas as I'm literally on his ass at this point, I push my legs a little further then leap for him taking us both down. We both roll away from each other but I get back on my feet and race towards the entrance and turn to see Bailey not far behind.
The woods become more and more clear as the trees tower over me the closer I get, I start to slow down a little knowing I'm close enough to have won and then Tomas just zooms past me. "Hey!" I shout running after him but he reaches the entrance before me.
"I won this time!" The turns with a grin on his face and I shake my head with a smile on mine.
"Who won! Who won!" Tili comes to us all energized with glowing gold eyes.
"We did!" Tomas raises a hand for her to high five and she does, Bailey comes around with our parents and then we all surrounded my mom simultaneously. She practically defenceless alone when she's pregnant so it became a reflex for us.
Tomas and linger at the back with dad and Tili beside her and Bailey at the front, with mom in the middle obviously. The smell of fire ligers in the air and I look over at Tomas thinking of the shirt I burnt followed us here but we quickly spot a fire.
