Cookies

Amy’s pov

Today’s theme color was blue and silver, there were navy-blue and silver balloons and navy-blue tablecloths and napkins. There was a huge buffet that gammas were preparing for 2 days now. Auntie organized this party as she does for every party at our pack. It was full of well-dressed people chatting, dancing and eating. 

Going down the stairs I saw my brother talking to Katia. They seemed more interment, did I miss something?  Not that they were kissing or holding hands but they were standing close, smiling and staring to each other. They usually flirt but it’s something else, I know both of them very well and you can’t get this out of my mind. I’ll have to ask her later. 

Antony was standing alone at the bar looking me as I was going down the stairs. He was paying no attention to the girls around him and he was ignoring them when they went to flirt with him. I guess that his wolf was giving him hart time not liking any of them. 

It was obvious that neither him nor my brother had found their mates. Everyone was here and I was the only one late, so they probably wouldn’t find their mates tonight. Tell me a bad person but was I happy about that? Hell yeah! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want them to be miserable or something like that. But them not finding their mates tonight could mean that me and Katia be their mates. I know that’s an unlikely scenario but I the heart wants what it wants. 

''You look amazing" Peter complimented me. "You don't look so bad yourself" i stated. He was wearing a black tuxedo, grey shirt and a black bow tie with grey member states that suited him well. "Let's go dance" he proposed. 

Both of us liked dancing. I could fill Anton’s eyes at us, I don’t know why he doesn’t like Peter and it seems that he doesn’t like us hanging out together.  Don ask me why, I don’t know, Peter is a good guy and he is always good with good manners. He never did anything to annoy Anton. Maybe it’s not something personal and its only Anton’s usually temper. 

We enjoyed dancing until a slow dance song started and it was a little bit awkward for me but in few seconds, we were interrupted by Antony who announced at the crowd that it was time for the Cake. 

Antony never dresses up. He is always casual. I think even in his wedding he will show up with a polo t-shirt. But even casual dressed, many girls are staring at him and I am one of them. He is tall, muscular with wide shoulders and easy on the eye. No need for him to dress up, he prefers to be comfortable. 

Both boys made a wish that we don’t know about and blew out the candles at the same time. It was a tradition to blow out the candles at the same time. Auntie Andriana gave Anton a big box with homemade cookies and told him ‘’I know what you wished for’’ implying that he wished for cookies as when he was five. Every year he gives him cholate cookies at his birthday, it’s kind of a tradition.  The thing is that he doesn’t like cookies and he never eats them even though everyone thinks he does. 

So, every year when everyone goes to sleep, he brings the cookies at my room. He never liked cookies but I love them. He was such a sweet boy when we were little and I think now the only reason that he brings them to me is to not make his mother sad if she finds out that he doesn’t really likes them. 

I am pretty sure Auntie Knows it but she finds it cute. Last year she even asked what I thought about the cookies cause she made them with extra chocolate and I was shocked. I didn’t mention it to him in order to keep the tradition alive, that and I really loved getting cookies, especially by him. 

When the party ended, I went to my room, I had a shower and after that I changed to satin pajamas with t-shirt steps and a short shorts. About know Anton other years would have come to give me the cookies but this year I think he won’t show up.  He is not interested in hanging out with me so there’s a first time for everything and this year there would be the first time he doesn’t show up with cookies. I have to accept it.

I was asleep when I heard a knock on my door. ‘’Hey are you awake?’’ Andon almost whispered out of my door. ‘’Come in’’ I answered happily with cheer in my voice.  It was late and I had lost hope so I felt asleep. 

‘’That’s for you’’ he said giving me the box and siting on my bed. ‘’And here I thought that I wouldn’t get them this year’’. He didn’t answer me instead he was going to stand up and leave but I held his wrist.  

 ‘’Are you disappointed that you didn’t find your mate?’’ I asked. ‘’Kind of, she would had resolved many problems for me’’ he answered honestly but he was keeping something for me, what problems did he mean? The anger issues? And why he was mad all the time anyway? So, I asked ‘’do you mean the anger issues?’’  ‘’yeah mostly’’ he said keeping something from me again. Mates can relax you only with their presence but I know that was not what he meant. 

‘’in another note, what’s up with you and Peter?’’ he said masking his emotions but I could see that his eyes darkened. ‘’Are you jealous?’’ I teased only for him to get mad. ‘’No, I am not, I can never be jealous of someone who wants to get in your pants, cause I could never have a romantic interest in you’’. 

‘’Ok, goodnight’’ I said keeping my voice from cracking and trying not to show my emotions. As soon as he left I started crying. I cried and cried and cried until the morning came. That’s it, I had enough, if he would never be interested in me I had to move on. I know I am a slow learner but I got the message loud and clear, time to move on.
