Mated To The Devil

Chapter 18: Lovebug

Natasha's POV

"Oh My Gosh!" Elyse's eyes widened the moment I opened the bathroom door and revealed myself.

She held both my arms and twirled me around while looking at me intently.

"You are stunning," she mutters. "You are so beautiful."

I can't help but smile genuinely at her words.

It's just so overwhelming, and she makes me feel so beautiful.

I really didn't put much attention to how I looked in the past years because I was too busy obeying the orders of my father and trying to make him proud. I really didn't have much time for myself.

And right now, doing things that a woman my age should do is overwhelming.

I didn't realize how boring my life was in cargo pants and a shirt; busy training all day and doing work.

It's nice that I get to experience things like this right now and all things to Elyse, Valerian Fenrir's sister.

The bright side of all this that is happening to me-- everything with Valerian-- is that I get to have a person like Elyse in my life even though I know it's just temporary.

I will always be thankful for the experience and all.

"Hey, you okay?" Elyse snapped her fingers in front of me snapping me back to reality. "What's the matter? You don't like the dress? Your makeup? The way you look?"

Gosh, I didn't know I already spaced out in front of her.

I cleared my throat and quickly shook my head. "No, no, it's fine. I like it. I just have to make myself get used to wearing something this revealing though," I said as I let out a low chuckle.

"It's not that revealing and I swear it's really good on you. Seems like you do work out a lot because you have a body of a goddess."

I was so flattered by what she said but it's not because of work out though because I don't work out. It's because of all the training.

The physical training every day for years shaped my body.

It's crazy how I only appreciate my body just these times, especially my waist and hips. I didn't know I have that in me.

"It's not that revealing, Natasha. So don't worry. The dress perfectly hugged your body. Gosh, your curves are killer. You look so hot." Elyse giggled.

I chuckled. "Really?"

"Really! I really don't understand why you hide it. If you have it, flaunt it!"

Elyse and I both laughed at what she said.

This girl is really crazy and I can't deny that she makes my stay here a little tolerable.

"Hey, where are we going?!" I asked when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and dragged me.

"Somewhere-- oh I forgot." She halted. "What am I thinking, you don't have shoes!"

Elyse went to the corner again and dig through all the paper bags looking for shoes.

She pulled out a color red ankle strap heels.

Oh thank goodness, I always wear boots with heels before. I surely can walk in them.

I don't want Elyse to think of me as a complete weirdo if learns that I can't even walk in heels. I know she's already weirded out by my styles. But, honestly, I'm not even offended or anything. Elyse is such a fashionable woman and it's like, that is her personality already and I get it. Really. We live in a world and generation where people set so many standards to women even in their clothing and she's trying to fit it-- and she really fitted in.
