----------------------
I lived in a constant state of worry when Mikko came around. He knew about my date with JJ, but he wasn't saying anything about it to me anymore.
I was thankful that he hasn't gone off on a rant about his child being in me, or whatever, but his silence did have me worried. It was never good when Mikko was silent.
Nikki was excited enough for the both of us. I was finally going on a real date. It was the first time in almost two years. I was nervous, excited, and worried as the time got closer and closer.
My dad was watching the triplets when Nikki finally made her way over.
We didn't really say much as I got ready. Nikki smiled a lot, but stayed quiet. I knew it was because Mikko was home. Nikki didn't want Mikko's attention just as much as I didn't.
But at a quarter to five, we heard his deliberately loud footsteps come towards my room. I was pretty much ready to go; I just needed to change clothes.
Mikko stopped at the doorway and looked at me. The situation felt more like I was waiting for my dad to tell at me instead of the father of my children.
"Where is he taking you?" he managed to ask without any anger in his voice, which was surprising. He didn't sound happy about it, but he wasn't stopping me. His eyes had flecks of gold that told me that he was fighting his wolf.
"He didn't say," Nikki chimed in happily. I knew it was salt in Mikko's wounded pride, and so did she.
Mikko slowly looked over to Nikki. Every move he made was deliberate. I'd even believe that the momentary glow in his eyes when he looked at Nikki was deliberate. "I wasn't asking you." His temper seeped into his words, but he quickly gained control over his emotions before he looked at me again, waiting for my answer.
"He didn't say." My cloned answer didn't do anything to ease the tension I saw in him.
"When is he coming?"
I knew what time it was, but I took the opportunity to look away from Mikko and look at my phone. "In fifteen," I replied. I really needed to start wearing my watch again. I used to always have it on when I was working.
When I looked back up at him, he just stared. It was unnerving, but eventually he snapped out of it and started blinking regularly again. "This is what you want then?"
I nodded once. There was a part of me that felt guilty for going on a date with JJ, especially after I had rejected Mikko's offer not even four nights ago.
But I pushed those feelings aside when I remembered everything that he had put me through. I had given Mikko plenty of chances. He wasn't getting anymore.
"This is what I want." And it was. I wanted the chance to be happy, and I was going to go for it.
