Hidden Wolf

15 Oops

I don't know how I did it but I survived the marathon shopping trip. We managed to fill the entire back of the SUV, I don't think I've bought that many clothes in my life. I may not have bought the green dress but I did cave and get a nice little sundress.

Home stretch as we walk to the vehicle for the last time. My cell rings cutting our conversation off.

"Hey?" I ask.

"You and Sara didn't kill each other after all?" Chris asks skeptically.

"No, it was actually not as bad as I expected," I admit.

"Ok who are you and what have you done with my mate?" He asks with a chuckle that sends a flutter in my stomach.

"Laugh it up now, you may cry when you see your credit card statement," I chirp.

"I'm not worried," he replies calmly and amused. "Are you guys still in town?"

"Yeah? What's up?"

"Dinner with Alpha Eric and his group?" Chris asks.

"Sure, nothing too crazy right?"

"No, casual, just change into something you got today, Xavier will pick you up in 20 minutes." He says.

"Claire will come with but Sara needs to give Jude a hand," Chris says to Sara's dismay.

"Ok, we'll be as quick as possible."

"See you soon baby," he says before hanging up.

Changing in a restroom wasn't high on my list of to do's but you do what you have to. Sara took the bag that now had my clothes I was wearing before passing me the bag with the new ones. She had passed me nice strappy sandals and taken my runners also.

"Um Sara? This is the wrong bag." Silence. "Sara, not funny," I growl.

"She huffed it, what's wrong?" Claire asked.

"She gave me the wrong bag, this is the sundress," I complain.

"Well she's long gone, you'll just have to wear it."

I slip on the sun dress, it hangs to my knees and works very well with the sandals but I feel half naked. I wasn't prepared to wear a dress tonight.

"You look great, stop fussing, let me fix up your hair and make up," she says smiling.

After a little tweaking she has me looking presentable. She twisted my hair up in a half up mostly down do, leaving the waves cascading down my back while the sides were pinned up.

"Xav's here, let's go," she says smiling.

We get to the car as Xavier's chatting over the truck's bluetooth. Thankfully he came in Jace's truck, the back seat is super spacious as I climbed in.

"Yup the ladies just got here, we'll be there in ten minutes go ahead and get the table." I catch him looking at me in the rearview as he raises a brow. "Make sure you have a camera when we get there, you'll see what I mean..."

"Whatever man, Eric has the private lounge, we'll wait for you in the bar," Jace says before hanging up.

"This is stupid, I'm gonna kill Sara," I grumble feeling incredibly self conscious.

"Relax, you look good," Xavier says. "Just caught me off guard, I've never seen you not in pants."

"Sara swapped the bags and took off," Claire explained.

"Got it, wait till I'm around before you break her nose again, ok?" Xavier says with a chuckle. I just grumble and lean back in the seat, just what I need something else to be self conscious about.
