3074 Words
The next morning I made my way downstairs to the kitchen where Bridget and Vicky were bickering with each other while Rose stood off to the side looking on with wide eyes. “You know what? I give up” Vicky said throwing her hands up in the air and turning to dump her empty bowl into the sink. “Am I missing something?” I asked heading over to the fridge in search of some orange juice. Travis was perched up on the counter munching on his cereal and snickering at the arguing girls. “Bridget wants to go dress shopping” Vicky muttered, more like grouched, turning to lean back against the counter with her arms crossed over her chest “And you know how much I hate shopping” It was true Vicky hated nothing more in the world than shopping especially with Bridget who was as picky as they come. “But Rachel still needs a dress for the party tomorrow and she has to look perfect for-.” Bridget was saying but Vicky cut her off with a look. “For Tristan?” she asked and I froze in the middle of pouring myself some juice. Rose flinched for some reason but it was barely noticeable. “News flash Bridget it’s all an act, Rachel’s leaving us after the engagement to be with Hayden remember?” Vicky pointed out getting Rose to relax. Setting the juice carton down I turned to look at both Vicky and Bridget. “She’s leaving-.” Bridget muttered lowly then cleared her throat looking at Vicky with sad eyes. “But I’m still going to make it seem perfect even if it’s all fake” Vicky gave Bridget’s puppy dog face one look then nodded giving a long sigh in defeat and shot a playful glare at the mother to be. “Okay fine we’ll go dress shopping” Bridget grinned hopping up and down in place while clapping her hands together in excitement “Yay! You’re the best V!” Vicky grumbled, pushing off the counter to start towards the kitchen door. She paused in the doorway then glanced back at all of us . “Damn right I am” then she disappeared out the door only waiting long enough to call back “I’m going to get dressed!” I breathed a laugh and shook my head as I took a swing of my orange juice. Bridget was grinning widely like she’d won the lottery. “Shopping spree!” she chimed then rushed out the kitchen probably to go get ready for the mall. Travis crunched down on a mouthful of cereal then looked at me. “Is it always like that?” he asked blinking at me. Finishing off my juice, I set the empty glass in the sink. “Wait until they have to pick out a movie to rent, talk about the Note Book versus Godzilla” I muttered thinking of that time it took us an entire hour just so that Bridget could flash her puppy dog look and end up winning the 56 minute dispute with the Note Book. “I swear if I have to see the Note Book one more time I’m going to shoot myself” I uttered more to myself than anyone else but Travis heard and cleared his throat hopping down from the counter. “Who wouldn’t?” he asked popping his empty bowl into the sink then stretched out his sore muscles “Well I guess it’s time to head out, I’ve got training with my brother so I’ll see you whenever” I nodded while setting the juice carton back into the fridge “See you then” I mumbled as Travis left heading out the kitchen door to the backyard and into the forest towards the clearing. Rose was still standing off in the corner with a shy look about her. I turned looking straight at her trying to find something to say. “So…you want to go shopping?” she instantly perked up at that and nodded with a wide grin plastered across her petite face hiding behind big square glasses. “Well then let’s go get dressed before Sugar and Spice start bickering again” I insisted reffering to both Bridget and Vicky while heading out the door with Rose hurrying after. “Those two are like total opposites” Rose said, her worn grey slippers dragging across the wooden flooring while her oversized T-Shirt hung off one of her shoulders. “Tell me about it” I muttered rolling my eyes when I heard the two in Bridget’s room still going at it. Kyle was already at training which meant they had the space to yank each other’s throats out. Nothing good can ever come from that. ----------------------------- “My feet are killing me” Vicky complained as we walked through the mall. We hadn’t been there for more than five minutes and she was already complaining. “Hay no complaining, you’re the one that gave into the famous 'Bridget look” I muttered knowing all too well that when it came to Bridget’s puppy dog face Vicky was as weak as they come. I bumped my shoulder into Vicky’s when she only grunted in reply with her arms crossed over her chest. “Oh my gosh Camille La Vie” Bridget freaked rushing for the dress shop looking like a little kid on Christmas morning. Rose and I shared a glance while Vicky groaned. “Well let’s go dress shopping” I said hooking my arm into Rose’s then dragged her towards the store. Vicky grumbled but followed with her arms crossed over her chest. When I got to the door Bridget was in front of me in a flash. “Go try these on” she ordered shoving an entire store full of dresses into my arms and pushing me in the direction of the changing room. I stumbled and was about to protest when “Now” I really didn’t stand a chance against Bridget. Nodding I turned and slipped into the dressing room with my closet in hand. After a two hour long debate on which of the two final dresses I should ware, the red or black, Bridget decided on the black then stuck pore Rose into one of the stalls. “Here” was the only thing Bridget said as she loaded Rose with her own runway show of dresses. Vicky was the first to find a dress, she was always, seeing as the only thing she wanted was to get out of the shop. She chose a pretty dark blue and navy dress with a low V cut and flared out at the waist. “Common doll let’s see it” Bridget called when Rose never came out of the stall. We heard some rustling then Rose’s tiny voice. “I look like a clown” she said and Bridget looked at me with a gaze that spoke a million words. Rose was afraid to show her figure and it made sense since she only ever wore pants. “No you don’t now come out and show us that pretty self of yours” I called with Vicky only grouching in agreement. There was a moment of silence then we heard the stall door click and Rose peaked out. “I look terrible” she mumbled hiding her face behind a ray of chestnut curls and trying to shrink back into the stall when Bridget grabbed her arm and yanked her out to stand in front of the full-length mirror "There now don't you just look stunning?" Bridget asked hands resting on Rose's shoulders to keep her in place forcing her to look at herself. Rose wore a dark red strapless dress that hugged her figure and flared out just above mid-thigh, like a mermaid dress except short. She looked great showing leg for the first time since I met her. "Oh my gosh Rose, you look amazing" I chimed happily and Bridget grinned squeezing her shoulders before playing with her hair. “Just some makeup and a bit of hair work and the boys will be falling all over you” Bridget muttered while Rose just stared at herself in the mirror. Her petite frame made her look more feminine than ever in the dress. “Wow” Rose breathed shocked and clearly stunned as she blinked at herself. I went over to place a gentle hand on her shoulder while Bridget still tried to find the right hair style for the party. “Wow is right you’re rocking that dress right Vicky?” I asked and the strawberry blonde haired girl nodded still grumbling to herself “Yeah whatever” I heard her b***h so I rolled my eyes and waved her off turning back to Rose who looked up at me. “I never knew I could look this good” she said and I smiled at her faintly. She was small but had tanned skin and that wine glass shape with curvy hips and a small but visible chest. “Just wait until we’re done with you, you’re going to look like a runway model for Victoria’s Secret” Bridget assured grinning then dropped Rose’s hair back to fall in loose waves around her bare shoulders. Rose suddenly squealed and pulled me into the tightest hug. “Thank you, thank you, thank you” she chanted then moved on to Bridget who giggled and squealed along with her. Vicky was taken by surprise when Rose hugged her only standing frozen in the middle of it all. “Thank you guys so much, you’re the best” Bridget and I exchanged looks then waved the girl off. “Don’t mention it” Bridget said while I shot the brunette a warm hearted smile asking “What’re friends for?” Rose looked so excited it was as if she was going to burst at any moment but she didn’t and Bridget had to shove her back into the changing room to get her out of the dress so we could pay for it. After that Bridget was the only one that needed a dress and one in particular caught my eye. It was a dark purple dress with thin straps and went down to knee length. It was flowy and looked light. I went to grab it while Bridget was fussing over a pink dress she had on. “How about this?” I asked holding the dress in her size up for her to see. Bridget looked at it with a frown probably thinking why on earth would I choose a dress like that for her but then her eyes softened when she realised what I was getting at. “Y-Yeah okay” she stuttered taking the dress then disappeared into a stall. Bridget was pregnant, she was going to be a mom and so she needed to dress like one in dresses not too short or too tight for that matter. “It’s going to take her some getting used to huh?” Vicky asked from beside me with her arms crossed over her chest. Rose sat on one of the seats looking at us with furrowed brows. I nodded. “Yeah it’s going to take us all some getting used to” I said when Bridget came out of the stall dressed in the purple cocktail dress. It made her look mature and responsible. “What do you think?” she asked spreading her arms out to her sides and doing a little twirl. The dress fit her perfectly in a way that still made her look young and carefree but sophisticated. “You look perfect” I replied with a sincere smile and Vicky for the first time since we got to the mall actually grinned “Like a certified mommy” Bridget shot Vicky a playful glare while I giggled and Rose sat silent not shore what she was missing. “Wait until your baby daddy gets a load of you in that dress” I teased and this time it was Vicky’s turn to laugh. Bridget narrowed her eyes onto us but was smiling faintly. Her hand went to her stomach for a split second then dropped. “Alright then let’s get me out of this dress so that we can go pay” Bridget announced heading back into the stall while Vicky groaned in approval. “Finally, let’s go get something to eat, I’m starving” the strawberry blonde haired girl was already halfway to the register when Bridget came out of the stall dressed in her casual attire with her purse and the purple dress in hand. We followed Vicky to the register to pay. “I second that” Rose said pointing at Vicky who was already thinking about what she was going to order at the dinner. ------------------------------ We were heading towards the dinner after nearly three hours of shopping when I accidentally knocked into someone inside the place. “I’m so sorry I didn’t-.” I trailed when I noticed a guy with jet black hair and puppy brown eyes. He was tall and dressed in a pair of dark jeans, a tight fitted black V neck shirt with the sleeves pulled up and vans. “Luna, ah here let me-.” he breathed with wide eyes then bent down to scoop up my dropped bags, handing to me with an apologetic look. I took my bags from him with furrowed eyebrows. “Um thanks” I muttered glancing over his shoulder to where Vicky, Bridget and Rose were ordering by the counter. The guy awkwardly scratched at the back of his neck then held his hand out to me. “No problem, the name’s Brett by the way” Brett introduced as I glimpsed down at his hand then took it with a tender smile. “Rachel” I said shaking his hand once then let go to tuck a stray strand of hair behind my ear. Brett glanced to the side and following his gaze I noticed a guy with dark brown hair and the same puppy brown eyes leaning up against one of the dinner tables clearly waiting for Brett. “I know who you are, Luna” I froze hearing him call me 'Luna' for the second time. I’d never seen him around the pack so I had no idea what he was getting at but everyone knew my mom was still Luna until my father stepped down then Nicole would become Luna. “I’m not-.” I started to deny but he cut me off “You’re Alpha Caine’s next in line Luna, right?” I opened my mouth to speak but closed it again. Alpha Caine, the Alpha of the Tyrant pack, my father’s enemy pack, Brett was a part of that pack. “I-.” again I was cut short when the other guy came stalking up with his hands stuffed into the pockets of his black leather jacket. “Brett!” he called catching Brett’s attention as well as Vicky, Bridget and Rose's who turned to look at what all the commotion was about. “Beau” Brett acknowledge with a nod in Beau’s direction. The second guy, Beau who looked more built than Brett turned to me with a respectable look in his eye bowing his head in submission. “Luna” he greeted shooting a look towards Brett before he turned back to me. “Sorry about my brother, we’ll leave you be” with that he started stalking off in the direction of the dinner’s exit pausing only to call back to his brother “You coming little bro?” Brett looked at me then nodded about to head off when he stopped long enough to say with a bow of his head. “It was nice meeting you, Luna” he turned to leave but I grabbed hold of his arm stopping him dead in his tracks. “Rachel, call me Rachel” Brett smiled at me nodding before I let go of his arm and allowed him to disappear out the door after his older brother. Vicky came rushing over as soon as they were gone with Bridget and Rose trailing behind. “Who were the hotties?” she asked suddenly very interested in the mall. I gave her a shrug still staring at the dinner exit while Rose carried the trey with our food. “I don’t know” I said shooting a glance at Vicky before I turned and headed towards a nearby table to sit down with Rose. Bridget and Vicky exchanged looks like they were thinking the same thing then followed. “So since you were too hung up on hottie one and hottie two I got you a sandwich and a coffee, enjoy” Bridget announced pushing the sandwich across the table towards me along with the coffee. I was staring at the dinner door deep in thought when a hand suddenly waves in front of my face. “Um hello earth to Rachel, come in Rachel” Vicky said trying to catch my attention and bring it back to reality. I snapped out of it blinking and shook my head from side to side trying to clear it. “Yeah sorry, thanks” I thanked picking up my cup and taking a sip of coffee while my eyes flickered to the doors again. Rose noticed but she didn’t say anything instead she just stayed quite as Bridget and Vicky argued on which one of the unknown guys was the hottest.
