Birthday Bash

Chapter 3: Birthday Bash

" Mom do I really have to wear this?!" I said to my mom for the hundredth time in the last 2 hours. Of course she responds with the usual, " it wouldn’t kill you to wear a dress every now and then". I mentally scoff and roll my eyes, mainly because doing so out loud will get me a quick smack to the back of my head. " You know mom we really don't have to do all this, my birthday is not a big deal and dad has the meeting with the Alphas too". " I know you don’t like big parties and crowds of people, but your father and I think it would be good to reinforce alliances with everything going on and what better way to do that with a birthday bash?!" The excitement on her face at the idea of this birthday bash she has planned for me, makes me decide to just suck it up and deal with it. She leaves my room after hanging my custom gown on the back of my door. My party is supposed to start at 7pm, but mom insists I start getting ready hours before hand. I don't understand how women take so long to get ready. I can shower and shave in like 20 minutes then throw my hair up clothes on and out the door in less than 45 minutes and that's when I'm trying to dress up. Shaking my head I wonder around my room trying to figure out what I want to do to pass the time until I have to get ready.

Suddenly there is a knock on my door. Brett walks in like he owns the place, at least he knocks before he just walks in. We have a very close relationship, we are best friends and tell each other everything. "So are you excited about the possibility of meeting your mate tonight?" " Not really, mainly because I don't want to deal with someone who is going to go all alpha male on me and think he's going to take my Alpha position from me" I stated. " I would actually pay to see that conversation go down with your mate! You better let me know ahead of time so I can make popcorn!" Brett said as he was bent over laughing hysterically. "I hope your not making fun of me Brett Anthony Matthews, I would hate to send you looking for your mate with two black eyes and missing a few teeth" I said while c*****g my eyebrow. " Oh no, that's not why I was laughing. I am laughing because I can picture you beating up your mate for thinking he was going to be the man in your relationship" he laughs out. I just shake my head at him and push him towards the hallway. "Just get out of my room before I make good on my threat", "Actually I came here for a reason. Your mom said that the girls will be here shortly to help you start getting ready" I rolled my eyes and huffed. Brett started laughing again at my reaction and I picked up the closest item to me to throw at him, which happened to be one of my boots. I threw it as hard as I could as he ran off, but my aim is just too good because it nails him right in the back of the head and he goes sprawling on his face on the floor. I humph in triumph walk back into my room and close the door. Serves him right the pain in the a*s. I think I'll go over all the information we have for the Alpha meeting while I can.

I look at the clock as I hear a knock on my door. I didn't even realize I've been pouring through this paperwork for the past 6 hours. I'm so dreading this I think to myself as three omegas walk around getting everything they'll need together. My mom suddenly walks into my room" Do you think we can get through this without having to restrain you?" she laughs out. "I might not like wearing dresses and getting all dolled up, but I don't think I'm that bad" mom looks up at the omegas in the room and they all bust out laughing. "Yes darling you are that bad and we have seriously thought about restraining you to make it easier on us, which is why I am here to help get you ready" she laughed out. "Why are there papers all over?" she says. "Well I figured I'd use my time going over everything for the Alpha meeting tomorrow while I had a chance" she just rolls her eyes and makes me get in the shower as she starts picking everything up and organizing it. After my shower my mom makes me sit in my vanity chair as they starts drying my hair and applying my makeup. I'm grateful that my mother and the omegas know me well enough to know I prefer very minimal makeup. My golden brown hair is half up with curls cascading down my back. My eyeshadow is a rose color with gold highlights kind of like the colors of my dress, which make my dark blue eyes stand out. My lips have a thin line of rose colored lip liner with a very light pink gloss on top. I don't look bad I think to myself as I look in the mirror admiring my hair and makeup. "Time for your dress and shoes" mom says while holding up my dress bag. Mom and the omegas help me into my dress and shoes and then lead me to the mirror. Mom has my eyes covered so I can't see the finished product until she's ready. Finally I'm in front of my full length mirror and mom removes her hands. I take in a deep breath as I look at myself. I may not like dressing up but I can say I look pretty good when I do. Mom claps her hands and says" Well now that you are done I can get ready. Thank the moon goddess that I already had my hair put in curlers and makeup done before coming to get you ready or we would have to be fashionably late. Do not do anything to mess up your hair, makeup or dress because if you do there will be consequences!" she says as she heads to her room to get ready. As she opens the door I catch a delicious smell lingering in the hallway. It smells like chocolate and coffee with a hint of something else I can't figure out. Damn that smells amazing I hope they are serving whatever that is at the party tonight.
