Chapter 9: Pamper and Gamble

POV: Catalina:

My wolf was on edge. She swears we smelled our mate. I didn’t want to say anything to Amelia or Eddie. They have spent years telling me how I don’t have a smell, so what if our mate can’t smell us? What if he thinks I’m some crazy she-wolf trying to lie? The doubts made me worry and made me stop from going down there sniffing like crazy into the air for him. Also, there have been times that I woke up smelling that smell, so it’s possible I imagined it. “No, you’re just scared that you’ll jump his bones when we see him.” Artemis said in my head. “Shut up Artemis, you’re just a horn-ball.” I was so unexperienced that the only kiss I have ever had was stolen from me by Eddie. The thought of my mate being so close made me a little mad again at Eddie for robbing my first kiss.

“I’m going to shower and nap. I suggest you do the same.” Amelia interrupted my thoughts. I shook my head and headed to my room. Each room had its own bathroom. I can only imagine how expensive these rooms are a night. I got under the hot shower thinking of that smell and I already felt a wet sensation between my thighs. If his smell has me like that, I can only imagine how his touch will leave me. “Hot and horny,” Artemis joked in my head. I wasn’t going to respond to her nonsense even though I knew she was right. I got out of the shower, lotioned up and put comfy shorts and a tank top on. There was a knock on the door, and Eddie yelled, “Safe to come in?” “Safe.” He walked in and kept staring at my legs. He then coughed and said, “Here I wanted to give you this credit card incase you wanted anything. Also, any in hotel services will be charged to my card.” “Eddie, I can’t take this.” He pushed it into my hands, letting his hands linger on mine for a bit. “Who knows you might be my luna one day, get use to being pampered.” I felt a little sad because Artemis swears our mate is here. So I pulled my hands away. “I’ll take it, but I will pay you back,” I said, for the sake of not arguing. I had no plans to use it. It was a black and gold card that had Eddie’s name on it. I sighed and put it in my wallet. And threw myself onto the bed and wrapped myself in the blankets. I fell asleep thinking of Sandalwood.

“Wake up Kitty cat, you’re late for school. You’re going to get detention,” Amelia whispered while shaking me. “Five more minutes, Amelia.” “Wakey Wakey eggs and bacy.” She then ripped the blankets off me and said, “I’m so glad you aren’t sleep naked. Wake up.”

I got up slowly but surely. Amelia then got serious. “Let’s go get pampered. I think today will be special. And we need a full work-up. Waxes, hair, nails, toes, facials, and massages.” She had a look on her face that I couldn’t understand, but I knew if Amelia wanted to talk about it she would. “We’ll go shopping and get super niced up for dinner,” she stated. “That sounds great although a drive thru would suffice for me too.” I joked. She rolled her eyes and chuckled. Let’s go. We don’t have to get dressed up since we’ll be naked for our services. “With robes, right?” I asked nervously. Suddenly, the thought of anyone seeing me naked that wasn’t my mate made me uncomfortable. “Of course, kitty cat.” Amelia answered and pulled me towards the door. “Can I put on some shoes at least?” I joked. She laughed and said Oh and handed me my flip-flops.

We got to the spa, and it was just as amazing as the rest of the hotel. Amelia walked up to the spa receptionist, “Yes, we need a full work up. Everything from hair down to our toes. And full body massages. The best of your services.” The receptionist smiled and said right away. We unfortunately started with waxes. Amelia made them wax me everywhere that hair COULD grow except my head. Safe to say the first time I was waxed, and it was a full body, I was hurting. Luckily, that was the only painful part. We got facials while getting manicures and pedicures. I picked sparkly red paint with black designs. Amelia chose light pink with red hearts.

“I needed this. Running a hospital can be so stressful. Not to mention being a built-in babysitter for you and Eddie.” Amelia sighed. I flipped her the bird and replied, “If anyone is a built-in babysitter, it’s me, because you and Eddie bicker nonstop.” She laughed. “Amelia, who’s going to run the hospital if you find your mate and must leave? It’s obviously someone not from the pack or else you’d have ten babies already.” “I’ve been having a feeling that I was going to find him soon, so I’ve been training someone to take over. She’s not as good as me, but she’s great too. Kitty cat, I have to tell you something. I smelled my mate last night before we got to the elevator. However, I didn’t want the first-time meeting with me with airplane clothes and hair.”

A sadness entered my heart; I don’t want Amelia to leave me, but I’m happy for her to find her mate. “SO, what’s your plan now?” I asked as I drank some cucumber water.

“First, I’m going to get SUPER hot. Then I’m going to use my connections to find out who checked in after us, then I’m going to seduce him because, like you said, I need to catch up on my ten babies,” she answered, laughing. This made me spit out my water. Normal people would think she’s joking, but Amelia has always been open about wanting an army of kids. Aside from Eddie and adoptively me, she had no other siblings. “As long as one or two will be named Catalina. Wait you can do, like Nemo’s dad suggested to the mom. Half name Amelia jr; the other half Catalina jr.” I joked with Amelia. “Hmm, and why again, am I only having girls?” she asked. “Fine, Catalino is a good name too.” I spoke. Next was our hair. We both got it trimmed and styled. They asked if we wanted highlights or something but we both decided against it. Our Spa Day ended with an amazing full-body massage. Amelia said a female only to massage her and I said, “For me as well, please.” The massage was amazing. I only about dozed off a million times. I will make this a regular thing. We got out and Amelia declared it was shopping time. Our goal is to find something for Amelia to look amazing in, which wouldn’t be hard because Amelia looks amazing in everything. The problem is she’s shopping for her mate, so it will be an hours-long event.

We walked into a high-end boutique. I looked at the dresses, and they were a couple grand couple. Goddess, this is crazy. But I would not say anything to ruin Amelia’s day, so I stayed silent. After she tried on a couple of dresses, she found a light pink cocktail dress that fitted her like a glove. It was sparkly and had a corset-like top. The silk bottom part of the dress ended right to her mid-thighs. It was breathtaking. She had matching heels on. “Wow Amelia, if I was your mate, you would be mated already.” I said, wiggling my eyebrows. She turned red. Did I embarrass Amelia? This never happens. “Your turn, Kitty cat.” She said with her face still as red as a tomato. “We’re here for you, Amelia.” “Well, you got to be hot for our girls dinner too.” She said as she picked out about twenty dresses for me. She made me buy them all too, but what we settled on for dinner was a red dress that had a plunging a line top that had little jewels and a silk unsymmetrical bottom. I matched it with heels that laced up my lower legs. “Hot mama.” Amelia yelled. We checked out our multiple dresses and shoes. “One more stop for this shopping trip,” she said as we walked into a lingerie shop. Amelia had one thing on her mind and she was obviously going to look good doing it. She picked out about 20 different sets. As she was making sure they fit. I strolled around the store and decided, “What the hell.” And got a few sets myself.

“Hmm, going to give up the goodie basket, are we Kitty cat?” Amelia teased. “Uhh no, just in case.” I answered quickly. She demanded I show her what I picked up, and as I was holding them up, Eddie happened to walk into the store. “Amelia, I was calling and calling, and you weren’t ans----.” He looked at the lingerie set in my hands, and his eyes filled with lust. I turned red and handed them to the cashier so quickly. Eddie cleared his throat and continued, “Next time answer your phones I thought something had happened to you.” “Sorry big brother, we were busy. Why didn’t you mind link me? I’m not a million miles away.” “Well, I did. I think your wolf put up a wall.” Amelia smirked. She knew her wolf knew what was going to be happening. “Anyway, big brother join us for dinner?” “No, I have dinner with my fellow alphas to attend. So, I’ll see you two there. I’ll just be at another table.” Eddie walked out, and Amelia threw her arm around my shoulder, "Let's go change and go gamble a bit before dinner."
