Chapter Fifteen

With a happy chirp, Peanut bounced off his perch and onto Jami’s hand, wings fluttering as he chatted excitedly. Jami carried him to the sofa where Akira was sitting, stroking under his chin before easing down carefully and holding him out to Akira's cupped palms. Peanut cocked his head and let out a little shriek.

Akira winced and withdrew her hands. "Maybe he's not comfortable with me yet."

Jami rolled her eyes and wrapped her fingers around Akira's wrist. "Don't be silly. He just likes the sound of his own voice."

Peanut whistled softly as he hopped into Akira's palm. When Akira smiled and cooed to him he made a sound like he was cooing back.

"Oh, he's precious." Akira used her fingertip to pet him. "You're so lucky! Most guys give their girlfriends flowers and chocolate, but you got a bird!"

"I know! But Sebastian isn't most guys. He's . . . ." Jami bit her bottom lip and hugged herself. Damn she missed him. Friday couldn't come soon enough. And he had a game on Saturday which meant they wouldn't be able to spend much time together—unless she went to the game. "Hey, what would you think of coming with me on Saturday to watch the Cobras play?"

Eyes wide and bright with excitement, Akira almost jumped off the sofa, but held still when Peanut fluffed up his feathers and scolded her with irate chirps. "I'd love to!" Then she frowned. "But it's the playoffs. The forum's probably sold out."

"I can get us into one of the boxes." Jami pressed her lips together in thought. If she called her dad, she could get them into the pressbox, but that would mean talking to him. Which she wasn't ready to do just yet. Being all sweet after what he'd said, only to get what she wanted, so wasn't her style. Fortunately, he wasn't the only option. "Give me a minute, I gotta make a phone call. You okay with him or should I put him back in his cage?"

"I'm fine as long as he won't try to fly away."

"He won't, he's a little suck up." Jami grinned. "As long as you're willing to hold him, he won't go anywhere."

Leaving Akira with Peanut, Jami took her cell to her bedroom and pushed the door almost closed. Not that she was worried about Akira listening in, but she had a feeling her friend wouldn't approve of what she was about to do.

What's the point of having contacts if you don't use them?

Not that she made a habit of using people. In this case, it was payback and she refused to feel guilty about it.

Ford answered on the first ring. "Jami. This is a pleasant surprise."

"Isn't it though?" Jami smirked and plunked down on her bed. "How you doing?"

"Not bad. I'm a little disappointed in you though."

Her brow shot up. "Excuse me?"

"Why weren't you at the Ice Girl practice today? You do know the finalists will be putting on shows in groups during the playoffs, don't you? I was hoping to see if you're really as good as they say, but you didn't show.
