Only For Her

I'm Trying to Save You From Yourself

It's now the middle of June and I've grown really close to Luke. Chase, Bryce, and I are getting there but I've grown closer to Luke. He's been helping me try and keep my mind clear of negative thoughts because it might send me over the edge again.

I've found out that Tess and Dawson are expecting their first child together and I was really happy for them. Dawson almost cried the night she told him at dinner. She had bought a box of chocolates and I helped her write "You're going to be a daddy" on them. He kissed her and hugged her close the moment he opened the box and read the words. They were married legally only a couple of days after she told him. I had announced them a bonded pair the day after they were married, despite the death glares I received from Marcus. Alastair was delighted, saying that the pack needed a new beginning to forget the terrible things that have been plaguing the pack for months on end.

Today, Tess wanted to go to the baby store and look for the baby, even though she wasn't due for another two months. I felt happy for her. She was going to be pregnant three months instead of nine, like humans. It would be quicker for her. She was showing already and they had gone about a week ago to see what gender it was.
Instead they found out they're expecting twin girls. Dawson was content with two daughters. Tess had wanted a boy and girl but she didn't care what they were, she was happy to bring new life into this world.

"Hayden, hurry up! I'm pregnant and walking faster than you!" Tess calls and I roll my eyes and speed walk to her. She is looking at clothes for the babies and I sneak my phone out, feeling it vibrating.

Hey Hayden, was wondering if you wanted to go out for dinner? It's okay if you don't want to, I understand. But if you do, txt me back.

I smile, and Tess looks down at my phone. "Ooo. My girl's goin' on a date." She grins and I blush. "Should I go? I mean I don't want that to affect anything." I ramble and she laughs. "Go. Have fun for once." She says and I look down at my phone.
I'd love to go with you Luke. Just tell me when so I could get ready.
The moment I send it, I get a new one.
Tonight 6 o'clock.
That's perfect. I'll see you then.
I'll see you then, love.
I hand the phone to an eager Tess and she reads the messages. She squeals when she finishes, making people around us stare. "Come on! It's gonna take a while to get you ready." She says and pulls me out the door.

Once we get home, she pushes me upstairs to my room. "Go shower. I'll get everything ready." She says and I follow her commands. I shower and use my new French Lavender & Honey body wash I got my Bath and Body Works. I step out and dry off then put on my matching black lace bra and panties. "Okay, you're wearing this for tonight." She holds up a nice black dress and I nod with a smile. She blow dries my hair first then combs it out. I pull on the dress and she sits me in a chair. She straightens my hair and I notice that it's losing its pale silvery white color and turning into a warm honey brown. I swear this hair change thing isn't helping. "Wow, I like this color better than the silver one. Made you seem cold." She says as she applies my makeup. I raise my eyebrows in acknowledgement and she pulls back. "Done." She smiles and I look in the mirror. She had put little makeup on my eyes and nude lipstick.
"It's time already." She says and I check my phone. It was almost 5:50. I hug Tess and go downstairs. Luke was waiting by the door dressed in black dress pants, a dark blue shirt, and a black coat. He smiles, and I shyly smile back. "You look amazing." He says and twirls me around. I blush darkly and look down. "You don't look that bad yourself." I reply and he grins cheekily. "We should get going." He says and loops my arm in his. We walk out to Dad's small garage and I flip the switch on. The lights flicker on and his eyes widen at the arrange of cars. "Choose a car." I say.
Costin had a thing for collecting cars and he always made sure my car was also taken good care of. He had a wide variety, from Corvettes to Maseratis.
Luke grabs the keys for the sleek matte black Maserati Dad brought home from a trip to Italy.
"Come on!" I giggle as Luke stays staring at the steering wheel. "You can fawn over it later, right now it's about us." I say without thinking. He looks at me and I blush, then look down. He lifts my head up, forcing me to look into his hazel eyes. He starts leaning forward and I slowly lean towards him. His elbow hits the stereo and Lets Get It On by Marvin Gaye starts blaring. He blushes scarlet and we sit back in our seats.
