Kept Mate (COMPLETED)

Ch. 18 - Excited

Here is me, making it up to you.

Second update of the day 😊

Enjoy my lovelies...

-----------------------------

It's getting late.

After cleaning, I took a shower.

I heard soft knocks. I finished taking a shower right away and wrapped myself.

Zed's scent is evident in the air.

I opened the door.

He clears his throat. I noticed a box in his arms. It's pretty big so he carried it using both his hands.

He pushed the box towards me gently.

"This is yours. It's for the ball."

I shook my head. "What for? And besides I'm not invited."

"The invitation is in the box. Actually, the gown, purse and the heels are inside it too. I'll send someone to do your hair and makeup. You can't be recognized easily if we'll work well with your makeup."

"There's no reason for me to attend. Thanks tho."

He shook his head. "I'm not here to ask you, Collins. I'm here to tell you."

"I don't want to attend. I don't see a reason to."

"It's the least of my concerns, Pink. Now be a good puppy and start fixing yourself."

I snatched the box at him, hissing. "You broke me by offering me to be kept right in my face! It's impossible to fix me. Send Lucifer himself. I want him to make me wickedly gorgeous then maybe you'll change your mind."

I pushed the door close.

I bet he didn't see that coming.

Take that!

-------------------------------------

"And it's done. You're gorgeous. Perfect." She tapped the side of my face, grinning.

I muttered a simple thank you to my make up artist.

"Make sure to nail your mate tonight." She smiled.

I fake a smile. If only she knew.

I mentally sighed. Now isn't the right time to suffer from self pity.

'You really are pretty.' Pearly smiles at me.

'Thank you.'

I turn my attention back to my make up artist.

I learned that her name is Diana. She's nice and pretty. She came from the previous pack that Zed stayed.

I looked at myself in the mirror. The make up is not heavily applied. Thank goodness.

My hair is curled to perfection, Finishing it will a floral hair dress. My  skin tone gown just fitted nicely, showing all my curves and all. It's beauty is enhanced with floral patterns and diamond studs. My heels are of the same color, beaded with little sparkling gems.

I looked at myself once again.

Diana is right. I really am gorgeous.

I blushed. I'm not used seeing myself presentable, let alone be pretty.

This feeling is just so overwhelming. I owe this to Zed.

After bidding goodbyes, I headed to the social hall, feeling excited.
