Enchanted Betrayal

Chapter Six.

It was only as I was getting out of the shower that I realised he'd said he was going to be picking me and the shirt up later. Why would he be picking me up?

As I made my way to my closet to pick what I was wearing for the day I heard the front door open and close. I pulled out skinny jeans and a v-neck. As I was getting dressed, Beth stumbles in looking like she got dragged through a hedge backwards. Her make up and clothes looked very dishevelled. Although her hair still looked immaculate.

"Nice night was it?" I asked her.

"Mmmm, it was wonderful," she replies breathily. "We went to his cabin and we got to know each other a bit more." Eyebrows wiggling.

"I bet you did you saucy minx. Whats it like having a Mate?"

"It's the best thing ever. We're perfectly matched for each other. He's kind, considerate and we didn't claim each other until midnight. It was so romantic, we just couldn't help ourselves, his smell is so intoxicating and oh my Goddess that man has moves."

"Are you seeing him again today?"

"We're going on a double date later but I'm not sure who with. Matt said he'll let me know nearer the time what we're doing and who the double date is with."

"I think I might know who it's with."

"Who?"

"Grab a shower while I make us some food and coffee and then we'll talk."

Beth knew this was going to be a juicy conversation so she practically ran into the bathroom for a shower.

In the time it took me to make two cheese toasties with side salads and two coffees'. Beth had showered, got dressed, and was sat at the table waiting patiently. Talk about a speedy shower.

"So what happened to you last night?" She asked me.

"Well, for starters I had quite a bit to drink and dance, then The Octopus tried to get handsy with me."

"Eww, that guy is such a creep. How so many she-wolves have ended up in his bed I have no idea."

"Right? Anyway I was rescued by... wait for it, Jacob Knight. He brought me back here and according to him, I wouldn't let go of him, I stripped butt naked in front of him and apparently I was desperate to get him into bed, so he 'compromised' with me, if I put his shirt on, he'll sleep next to me."

"That was nice of him, but what was he after? He's normally a complete and utter asshole towards you, so why the sudden change?"

"Get this, apparently he's my Mate. He's known about it for the last year and hasn't had the courage to tell me because of his past behaviour. I don't know if I should believe him or not? He sounded sincere enough but he's also a very good liar."

"Woah," Beths' eyes were the size of saucers. "Will you accept him?"

"I don't know. He said he was picking me and his shirt up tonight and he's going to prove to me that he's changed. This is what makes me think we'll be double dating with you guys tonight."

"It's possible he's changed. Everyone has to grow up at some point."

I was thinking about what Beth was saying when her eyes glazed over indicating she was being mind linked.

"So I know where we're going tonight, there's a party again at the camp fire but first we're going out for a meal." She said excitedly.

"Hmm, sounds like a nice night. Time to plan an outfit to blow their minds with." I said thoughtfully.

"And then blow something else later."

"Beth, that's disgusting."

"Don't knock it til you try it girl."

We decided to start doing our hair and make up early so all we had to do later was get dressed.

Later in the day, I'm starting to get really nervous, it's like a group of butterflies have been let loose in my stomach and they won't calm down.

Beth decided on a sexy black jumpsuit with red heels, thick winged eyeliner, and red lipstick to match. On anyone else it would make them look like they were a hooker but on Beth, it made her look mature and made her pixie cut stand out a bit more.

I was still debating on what to wear when there was a knock on the door and then muffled voices.

Ok girl, you've got this. It's no big deal. I am pacing our shared bedroom floor when Beth knocks and pokes her head round the corner. She notices that I'm freaking out and enters the room and closes the door.

"Breathe with me Rox," she places her hands on my shoulders and starts taking big, deep breaths. After about a minute or so, I've calmed down.

"Spill, what's the problem?"

"I don't know what to wear. I was going to wear this lovely halter neck with some jean shorts and gladiator sandals but, then I thought what if it's not party ready enough? So then I thought about wearing a light blue halter neck dress, but isn't that going to be too slutty for my first date with Jacob?"

"Are you finished panicking now?" She says with a giggle. "Sounds like you think it's a big deal."

"It's not, I just want to look nice."

"I would go for the dress, it'll hug you where you need it to and make him want to devour you."

"But that's not what I want.... atleast I don't think it is."

"Well, you need to decide on what you do want and fast. He's only in the other room and he's most likely heard everything that was just said."

There was a very well timed laugh from the other room which sent shivers down my spine. The laugh is what helped me make my decision. I want to look sexy and irresistable to him. If he really is my Mate then I'm going to need his help in the future.
