Nova POV:
“So it’s your birthday tomorrow” I hear my brother mention, “I’m excited to celebrate with you.”
“Me too Luca, goddess 25. Where has time gone?” I joke.
“I can remind you of when you were an annoying little toddler if you really want me to?” He laughs.
“Please don’t” I chuckle back.
“Oh well I hope you’re ready for all your baby photos to be on display tomorrow” he muses quietly.
“You wouldn’t..” I panic.
“You know full well I would, so you’ll just have to see if that picture of you dressed as the hulk is going to be shown” he chuckles down the phone.
“Oh goddess what have I got myself in for” I moan looking to the ceiling.
“So what are your plans during the day?” He asks.
“Not much, I’m getting breakfast with Flo, Naomi and Alice, then they’re dragging me to the salon to get my hair done. I thought it was a relaxed BBQ but oh no, I forgot Alice had helped” I laugh. “What time are you getting here?”
“I’ll be coming for 2pm, I offered to help Jax with any setting up that may be needed. I’m staying for a couple of nights as well” he tells me.
“You are?” I ask excitedly.
“Jax insisted, I’m glad he did” he comments with approval in his tone.
“So what do you think of Jax?” I ask quietly.
Just then the door of the office swings open and Jaxs scent engulfs me making my eyes darken immediately as I look up into his mesmerising green eyes making my breath hitch.
“He’s great Nova, I’m glad you met him. He’s also fucking huge compared to you and I find that absolutely hilarious. He’ll be a great brother in law, plus an Alpha in the family like helloooo” he jokes.
“Cheers mate” Jax replies with a grin on his face.
“Oh…NOVA! You could have told me he was fucking listening to that answer” Luca shouts before calming down and replying nonchalantly, “hiya man what’s up.”
Giggling I try to control my breathing before replying, “he literally walked in as I finished the question, what was I supposed to say when you’re already singing his praises.”
Luca huffs down the phone before mumbling, “could have warned me. Now I can’t do the whole big brother act and tell him he has to look after you and treat you right. I’ve been looking forward to doing that officially.”
Jaxs eyebrows shoot up at that and he smirks before speaking, “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything. I’m intrigued to hear this speech of yours.”
“Ok guys that’s enough” I gasp as I continue to laugh. “You’ll get on great.”
“We know” they both reply making me burst into another bout of laughter, “goddess you’re more In sync with each other than me.”
Jaxs face heats up at that comments as he shakes his head in amusement. “Alright enough of the family bonding, see you tomorrow Luca” I giggle before hanging up.
I put down the phone whilst smirking at Jax, “so my brother approves” I shrug.
“Well of course he does” he replies full of Alpha confidence.
Rolling my eyes I laugh as I walk round and drop him a lingering kiss, feeling a sharp shock go through me I gasp as I pull back looking to Jax seeing his face looks as surprised as mine before breaking into a grin.
“Almost your birthday” he teases before pulling me in for a longer softer kiss.
“Is there anything you need help with for tomorrow?” I ask as we pull away from one another.
“I’m not going to ask you to plan your own party Nova” he replies rolling his eyes. “But no, it’s all under control. Or rather I should say Alice has it all under control.”
Gulping I look at him nervously, “should I be worried?”
“Maybe” he chuckles.
“So I won’t be here tonight love, I’ve got to go to my parents as I’ve got some family visiting. Mums offered me to stay the night so I’ll be back tomorrow at some point” he tells me.
“Oh” I reply trying to not let him see the disappointment in my eyes, shaking my head I continue, “yeah no of course. Say hi to them for me, are they coming tomorrow?”
“Definitely, they’ve been badgering to meet the new pack members but with everything going on I wanted you to have less to worry about” he explains.
“Thank you” I say shyly to him knowing I’ve had a lot of my mind.
“Anytime, come on I thought we could spend some time together before I have to go” he says pulling me up and out the room.
“What would you like to do?” I ask.
“I have a plan” he shrugs not giving anything away.
