I came awake with a start and looked at my watch. Damn, looks like we'd both fallen asleep. She was still tucked up on my lap, her head on my chest. I felt her forehead and it was cool to my touch, no fever. I kissed her awake. "Wake up baby, they're almost here." I teased her lips with mine running my tongue across hers, enfolding her closer to me. There was a lighter feeling in the air now. I never knew, or gave much thought to how or when I would deal with that side of her past but now that it had come and gone I was glad that it was over with. I still needed to get to the bottom of that bullshit he’d spewed at me though but for now it was enough that he knew his part in her life was over. “Come on baby girl wake up.”
"Huh?" She stretched awake like a cat before settling against me again, her hand clasped in mine over my heart. “What time is it?” she curled up like a kitten making me smile. I told her the time and that my family should be here soon and she all but jumped off my lap. “Where are you going?” I pulled her back.
"Shoot, I can't meet your family looking like this." She started primping and preening, as I dodged her elbows. I rolled my eyes at her drama because as was typical she looked good as fuck. Jeans and a twin set, which I’d bought her because it matched those kick ass eyes of hers. I'd even found her Uggs that matched on line when I went on a mad shopping spree for her a week ago. She hated Uggs, said they were ugly and made her short frame look dumpy. I say they are warm and comfy and since she was prone to being sick she'd wear them.
She now owned three pairs with more on the way. She always grumble when I buy her shit, but that was my job, fuck that. "You look fine babe, stop stressing."
"I would've been prepared to meet your family appropriately dressed at some other time if you hadn't turned into Rowdy Roddy Piper. What are your parents going to think of me, getting you involved in something like this?" She folded her arms with a pout, if I tried to kiss that pout right now she'd chew me out no doubt, better try to calm her the hell down first.
"Is that what you're worried about? kill that noise babe, my folks know the deal." She gave me the bitch brow. Whatever. "I need to find out how Robert is doing..." She tried climbing off my lap again but I grabbed her.
"No, you don't."
"But Talon..."
"No...you...fucking...don't, you have nothing more to do with that asshole, done, don't even call that motherfucker's name again." She pushed her lips out, I could almost see the steam coming out of her ears. Whatever, she'd fuck around and get that fucktard killed.
"You don't get it do you, I don't want him to even exist for you anymore."
"Talon you're being ridiculous."
"Fuck if I care, we're not talking about him anymore, he's not a part of our lives." Did she really not get what the hell was going on here? then again I didn't even know what was going on myself. I have to wait 'til dad arrives to find out what the fuck turned me into Wolverine.
I heard hurried footsteps outside the door and loud voices; looks like the cavalry had arrived. Even though the circumstances were fucked I found myself being excited that my family was finally going to get to meet my girl for the first time. I felt almost like a proud husband about to show off his new bride, total sap. Skye on the other hand was nervous as shit, I don’t see why, they were going to love her I had no doubts.
