Wolf's Mate
After McBride left and I re-entered the pizzeria, I was ponced on by the group who were still in the high of celabration to have been revlied to hear that the place won't close down after McBride found out our secret. I was glad for them to happy like this, to no longer be scared for we had an officer of the law helping us just by simply believeing us and keeping our secret as what it is, a secret.
I never seen them like this after our mutral friends Aaron and Eric found out but I was still happy for them none the less. "Come on lass, let's celebrate by making signs to hold at your big game tomorrow!" Foxy cheered as he threw an arm around my shoulders and started to pull me along. "Technically Foxy, it's already to tomorrow making my game, today. So it's starts at about 6PM." I said as the others followed us. "6? That late? Will you be able to get enough sleep Rose?" Chica asked concerned. "Of course Chica. Don't worry. I won't have to be there until about a half hour before the game. I'll be sure to get enough sleep before then." I explained.
"So wolf what is your jersey number? We got to put something on the signs." Goldie asked as we re-entered the main room. "Guys, you don't have to do that. There well be plenty of people there in the stands holding up signs. Maybe even a few with my number. This is a big game for us this season because it's the first one. Besides it well be easier to spot all of you with out them." I said.
About a half hour later I'm sitting on the stage, hunched over, defeated as the crew was making pizza shaped/colored signs with my jersey number, 42, or simply my name on them. They, more like, Chica broke me down fast and hard by pulling off the hurt puppy dog looked that looked absolutely adorable on her that I just could not bring my lips to form around the one word that I wanted to fall off my tongue, no. I laughed breathlessly at small memory since it was cute when Chica started to cheer at me saying yes. 'I seriously can NOT say no to her. I'm either so under her thumb or straight up whiped. Or are both meaning the same? Either way thats what I am.' I thought as Chica held up her hand-made sign for all to see.
It was a regular regtangle shape sign but colored to be a pizza with a few pepperonis here and there. To the sign's right or my left when facing me was my first name colored brown like my hair and the R in my name had wolf ears and tail. To the other side was a large silver cross wearing a black hood, meaning that was my last name Hood-Cross. Lastly dead center of the sign was the number 42 in the rose red and bright green. My name sake colors.
I blushed at the sight of it for it was adorable yet amazing at how well done it was. "Why are guys making your signs in the shape or color of pizzas?" I asked finally as I look towards the others. "For one, you said others will be there with signs so to make it easier to spot us, we'll have different unique signs and two you work in a pizzeria so why not make the signs look like pizzas?" Freddy said with his signature laugh. I chuckled at his explaination and I had to admit it was unique and it would actully be more easier to spot them in the crowd.
The night continued with fun and games along with us playing with a home-made fressbee made of paper plates. We were playing monkey in the middle and well I know the gang got a kick out of me being in the middle most of the game and chasing after it a few times if it flew over my head. The night soon ended and I go to say bye to the gang at the door. I noticed that they acted a bit strange, as if they knew something I didn't which isn't a lie. They knew more about this place and it's past then I did but this knowing. This knowing they gave off seemed to lean more towards that of delight, a surprise maybe?
I mentally shrugged it off and didn't bother trying to pry the info out of them. I go to open the door to leave but before I could, Chica reached up and scratched my wolf ears, making me purr in delight. I felt my heart swell and warmth corse throu me as always when she does that. I had to admit I felt bold for what I did next. I leaned in gave her cheek a small quick lick before placing a kiss in the same spot. When I pulled away the guys looked shocked along with Chica who placed a hand on her cheek. I felt my face heat up and I rubbed the side and back of my neck about to explain my action. But I didn't get the chance to for Chica smiled and giggled, making any and all words die before they left my mouth.
She leaned up and gently kissed my cheek in return. When she leaned away I stood stunned, my face warm from the blush as I stare at her face. The playful gleam in her bright pink eyes, the cheerfulness of her toothy smile. I noticed a small hint of red on her cheeks and I thought that mabe was she blushing. I took in all the small details I could as she spoke,"You don't need to explain yourself Wolf. I get it before you could even say a word for I know you. We are best friends after all." It hurt me a little that she saw me as just a best friend while deep in my heart I wanted to be more to her.
But if I spoke my feelings and rejected then I would be glad to still be friends with her dispite the hurt. I smile though for she got me and that my litte crocks are just something I natually do now due to my mixed blood. 'God I love this woman so much. She is my life and that's why I'm willing to leave my current for her should that be the only choice.' I thought as I finally found the words to speak. "Yeah. You're right Chica. We are and I'm real happy with that fact. Well I better get going so that I could rest up for the game. I really look forward to seeing you all there." I said.
"And we are looking forward to seeing ya play Rose. This is a big day for all of us for it's your first football game of a season and it's are first ever game we are going to see a friend of our's be in." Freddy said as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "If we can't see you before the game then we wish you luck Rose. Break a leg." "Thanks Freddy, everyone." I said as we all came together in a group hug. I left after that, went home for some breakfest, some sleep and I hoped that the game well go well and we possably win or I at least impress Chica enough.
Time flew by till it was time to head to the school to get ready for the game. I grabbed my gear and checked to make sure I had everything as my parents left a head of me, saying they had something to do before they arrived to watch the game. I didn't pay much mind to it as I placed my gear in my car and left after locking the house up. As I arrived at the school parking lot, I had to drive slowly because of the large mass of people in the parking lot.
Everyone wither they were from the school we are playing against or from our's were all having a good time, cheer and laughing. I saw people holding signs for Lina, Dakota, Kacy, Luis, and a few others on the team. I even saw people wearing our team colors in cloth or paint form on their faces. Both pale baby blue and military green. As soon as I parked my car and got out I was swarmed by others from the school, wishing me luck in the game or just greeting me. I greeted them back and thanked them for the luck as I went to the locker room to get ready for the first game of the season.
