Chapter 13: Spending the Night with JJ

(Ravine POV)

"Hey! You made it!" J.J. greeted me before the game starts.

"Of course, I wouldn't forget about you." I said.

"You have my jersey number." He said.

"I do."

Out of nowhere, J.J. pulled me into a warm embrace which caught me off guard but I embraced him back anyway. The warmth I felt gave me butterflies. I have never felt that before from anyone.

"I'll see you after the game, wish me luck." He whispered.

---

Fuck! It's neck in neck right now and whichever team scores the last point before the time expires is going to be the winner.

My eyes are glued to J.J. and to him only and what I saw is more than a player. He is a goddamn beast. His competitive nature just comes out naturally which is something you can tell from the way he runs, the way he supports his teammates and the way he keeps his head in the game.

His energy indicates how much passion he has. No wonder he has so many trophies.

I turned my attention towards the game. J.J. has the ball right now and the opposing team members are surrounding him in hopes of preventing his team from scoring.

"5…4…3"

He threw the ball to Marco and the latter successfully caught it and within the last second, he managed to shoot the ball through the ring, earning one point higher than the opposing team. His team won, they won!!

Everyone sitting on the bleachers stood up and cheered for his team. The coach handed them the trophy while they celebrate and beamed with happiness.

Frida and I couldn't help but join the enthusiastic crowd in cheering J.J.'s team on.

What a beast!

(J.J. POV)

Ravine and I are in pinkberry right now, enjoying our frozen yogurt, in celebration of my team's victory.

"You're a beast." He said.

"Thanks."

"Do you have a curfew? Because Frida might freak out again if you go home late." I asked.

"No! She's with Marco right now so I don't have to worry about her."

"Good."

We are both enjoying our scrumptious dessert when I felt the need to bring up something.

"Ravine?"

"Yeah?"

"I am going to be gone for a week." I said.

"Why?"

"Um…just some family stuff. As much as I don't want to skip school, it will be for the best. There are some family issues I need to resolve." I lied.

Technically, it's not really a lie because it is a family issue. It's a Vanderbilt pack issue but of course, I can't mention that to him because he's going to think I am crazy if I say I am a werewolf and I need to attend to pack meetings with a bunch of fellow werewolves.

"But you're going to have to tell him someday." My wolf said.

He's right. I have to tell him someday about me being a werewolf and I hope he still accepts me for who I am. If not, it will truly break my heart.

"It's okay, J.J. Don't worry about me. I'm glad you're prioritizing your family first over anything because that's how it should be. Your future wife will be so lucky." Ravine said.

Ha! He is my future wife.

"Will you be okay?" I asked.

"J.J., why are you so worked up about it? Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." Ravine laughed.

Of course, I am worked up, He's my mate and I can't stand not being with him. Damn pack meetings.

"I want to hang out with you as much as possible. How can I not be worked up?" I answered him.

"You're funny."

"You know what else is funny?" I asked before putting some whipped cream on his nose.

"J.J.!!" He whined. He retaliated by spraying whipped cream all over my jacket. He ran outside the shop but I wasn't going to let him off that easy. I took another whipped cream bottle from the counter and chased him down the street.

"I am going to get you, Ravine!"

"No, you can't!" He said.

I was running after him and of course, there is absolutely no way he can outrun a wolf. After a while, I finally caught him by his hoodie and pulled him back then I sprayed as many whipped cream as I can all over his head and face. It was hilarious.

He wiped the mess off his face and his hair. There are some left on his cheek and lips so I just wiped them off myself and ate it.

"Sweet!"

Then we heard some lady yelling from afar.

"Excuse me! You boys are going to have to pay for the yogurt and the whipped cream!!" She yelled. We couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, Karen!" I responded.

We walked back to the shop and I paid for all the expenses. Afterwards, we decided it's time to head home. Ravine got in the passenger seat while I went to the driver seat but there's no way I am going to let Ravine go tonight. I want my time to be filled with moments with him. He makes me the happiest wolf in the world.

"Ravine?"

"Yeah?"

"Let's spend the night in my house." I offered.

"What? J.J., Sister Blanche is going to be worried sick." He warned.

"Please. I want to be with you for tonight. Just text Frida you're spending the night with me."

And of course, Ravine couldn't resist my plea. Nobody can ever resist my charm. With that, I drove him to my house for the second time. This time, he will be staying overnight and sleeping next to me.

Ravine and I entered my house and it seems as if everybody's asleep already. I wrapped an arm around him as we walk together to my room.

"Relax!" I said.

As soon as we arrived inside my room, I locked the door and walked towards him.

"You should take a shower. You can wear my clothes over there in the cabinet. Just choose whichever you like."

"Okay."

He walked inside the bathroom and took a shower while I waited for him to finish. When he was done, he came out wearing a baggy shirt. I couldn't help but chuckle at his adorableness.

"It's too big, I think." He said.

"Nonsense, it looks good on you."

He smiled and sat beside me and we just stared at each other.

"I'm going to shower now." I said.

As fast as I can, I took a shower and dried myself. Afterwards, I put on some boxers before exiting the bathroom. I came out, only to find Ravine watching cartoons.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have!!"

"No, it's okay. Make yourself at home."

Ravine was looking away from me.

"Can you put a shirt on?" He suggested.

"Nope! I am more comfortable this way." I said.

I lied down on the bed while he sat far away from me.

"Come here, Ravine!"

"No thanks, I'm okay here."

His innocence is so pure. I think it attracted me to him even more.
