I'm trying to quickly get it all updated… Probably not the best idea, but… Whatever! I've kept everyone waiting long enough!
-(Kittey's POV)-
Lily and I had been asleep for only four hours when the door bell rang.
"Ugh!" I groaned and pulled myself up from the couch, trying to untangle myself from the soft and warm blanket.
Stomping toward the door, I noticed that Lily was delicately curled up, facing the back of the chair. It was unbelievable that she could shift into a dangerous panther.
"Icee!" I squealed with joy. It felt like it had been forever since I'd seen her. Like since that first day when I met Cody…the love of my life…the sweet, sweet relief from all of my pain… My soulmate.
"Hey, Kittey!" She walked in and gave me a big hug. Lacey (A/N: for those that don't quite remember: Icee is Lacey's nickname.) was looking super cute today. She was wearing a light blue, V-neck shirt that looked amazing with her tan complexion, very dark blue skinny jeans that TOTALLY crought out her curves and it all ended with her mid-shin high, tan boots that added about 2 ½ inches to her height. Lacey, who had been walking into the living room, turned and gave me a questioning look.
Oh! Lily, I thought.
"She's… Cody's sister," I said, almost apologetically.
"Cody?" she whispered, not actually knowing his name.
Figuring I should explain it to her, I motioned for her to follow me to my room upstairs. I was sure Lily would be able to hear us if she woke up.
Once in my room, I took my swivel chair while Icee sat on my cluttered bed.
"Okay… Who the hell is Cody?" Icee asked impatiently.
I took a very deep breath, then slowly let it out. "Cody…is the guy that was watching me in the cafeteria." All the while, Icee's eyes were getting wider.
"Holly…! You're friggen' kidding!" Icee was practically screaming now, so I motioned for her to shut the heck up. She covered her mouth, squealed and started jumping up and down. "Are you guys dating?" she squeaked out.
My cheeks went pink and Icee squealed even more. "Look, I love you and all… But you need to shut…the…hell…up!" I said to her in a low voice, very sure that Lily was awake by now. And confirming it when I heard her stretching downstairs on the couch.
"Tell me!" she demanded. "Are… You… Two… Dating?"
Sighing, I looked away, thinking of how to answer her demand. "Honestly…" All of a sudden, I felt something. Some sort of tugging coming from my middle. I automatically knew that it was the soulmate thing…as if Cody was telling me to say yes. *Icee was currently glaring at me.* I felt my face brighten with a smile as I said, "Yes. We are dating." The tugging became unbearable, almost like it was pulling me somewhere.
"C'mon! I wanna go meet his sister! You can learn ANYTHING about a guy…through his sister! Haha!" Icee was now in an amazing mood, eager to meet Lily.
"Ok. Just a couple things: her name is Lily…and she and Cody are twins, alright?"
"Really? Ummm… Ok. Let's go!" She started leading the way downstairs, but suddenly, I felt like I really needed to be down there.
As I came around the corner, Lily was just pulling away from someone…and had a fancy bag in her hand, with something in French written on it.
"Thank you sooo MUCH, Cody. I know how it killed you to be aw-"
"Cody!" I squealed, interrupting Lily. I ran to Cody, who was still standing in the doorway, jumped and latched myself to him. Lily looked on very happily, Cody chuckled and hugged me to him and Icee…well, Icee just looked flat out shocked, standing at the foot of the stairs.
"I missed you," I whispered softly into Cody's ear. "Sooo much!"
"I missed you, too," he whispered back, his deep, yet sweet voice making me smile. He then kissed me softly on the cheek.
I was still clinging tightly to Cody. Pretty much forgetting about everyone and everything, just living in this blissfully sweet moment with my soulmate. Until Icee cleared her throat, clearly wanting to be introduced to my boyfriend and his twin sister.
I sighed softly in Cody's ear and started to pull away, causing him to chuckle…again. Turning toward Icee with a smirk on my face, I said, "Cody and Lily Nahtepa, this is my closest, bestest, childhood friend, Lacey Mendez. Lacey, Cody and his twin sister, Lily."
"You can call me Icee," she said delicately , while smiling sweetly. "So," Icee said, turning towards me with a serious look on her face, "what are we going to call Lily, Kittey?"
"Kittey?" Cody looked slightly amused, but truly was curious.
"It's my childhood nickname," I said shyly.
"It's cute," he said, winking at me.
"Ahem. Back to business…please." Icee muttered the last part, causing the rest of us to laugh.
"Alright. Lily… What on Earth can we do with that?" I was staring at Icee as we both pondered over her name. "Lil? How many people call you Lil?"
Lily smiled and Cody just sighed and wandered over to the couch. "Like, my whole family does. Everyone thinks they are the first ones to come up with it." She rolled her eyes. "Kinda hate it."
"Hmm…" Icee looked very thoughtful…which only I knew could be totally and completely dangerous. "What kinds of foods do you like?" Cody and Lily burst out laughing, thinking it was a joke. I knew Icee was being serious, but I did crack a smile for their benefit.
"She's being totally serious. We're trying to find a nickname for you, Lily."
"Oh. Ok, then," Lily said, all business now. "I love sweets! Anything with chocolate… German chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, Belgium chocolate, chocolate chip cookies…"
"Cooki! That's it! Cooki! We're gonna call you Cooki!" Icee was jumping up and down with excitement.
"'Cooki.' I like it," Lily…I mean Cooki said. (A/N: If you didn't figure it out 'Cooki' is the same pronunciation as 'cookie,' so…)
Thanks for reading! I hope you really liked it! R&R! I need to finish writing the next chapter so I will get right on that! ;)
Ur Kittey
