The Luna Of The Lake

Shopping Spree

Amber drags me into the bra section first. “What size do you wear” I don’t know the answer to that. I’ve worn the same bra for the last 9 years.

“I’m not sure”

“Okay not a problem” Rocket says and she waves over a very tall slim woman. “My friend here needs to be sized for everything.”

“Hi ladies, my name is Leslie. I’ll get you sized and then you can try on a few options” she begins measuring me all over. “Okay, you are a size 38 DD bra, a size medium in panties, size small to medium in shirts and a size 7 in jeans. Would you like to try on a few bras now or would you rather pick them as you go?”

“I’d like to pick them as I go, thank you so very much” I say. Amber pulls me over to the push up bras and hands me a purple one with black lace. She then takes me over to the strapless ones and hands me a skin tone one. Panties are next, and she grabs one that matches the push up bra.

“What is that” I say looking at what she’s holding up. “There’s nothing to it” I say laughing.

“A thong. Men go crazy for these.” Rocket says smiling. Next thing I know, I have two bras, more panties than I can count and a few different types of lingerie. We walk over to the cash register and Leslie is there to scan our items.

“Did you ladies find everything you needed today” she asks scanning each item.

“We did thank you again” I say.

“Alright that will be $247.93” she says “will that be cash or card?” My jaw hits the floor. I can’t believe I wasn’t paying attention to the prices.

“Card” Amber says. She looks over at me “don’t worry Jaz, Damien won’t even notice you spent anything. He’s loaded” she says laughing as she swipes his card. I can’t help but feel bad though. Leslie bags up everything and I thank her again before we leave. When we exit the store, Damien is no where to be seen. I start to panic thinking he left me. Just as tears start swelling up, I feel hands on my waist.

“So what did you get Darling” Damien asks and I spin around hugging him tight.

“You will find out later. Right now, we have to get her some regular clothing and maybe even a dress or two” Rocket says to him and she starts off to a*****e called Jackson’s.

“I thought you left me” I say into his chest.

“Why on Earth would you think that my love”

“Because you were gone and you’re so handsome and I’m just plain and you’re rich and I’ve never bought anything more than food and we’re completely different and” he kisses me

“Darling, I’m not worried about any of that. You’re my Mate and I love you. You’re not plain. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.” The tears start to swell again.

“Come on Jaz! I found the perfect dress for you!” Amber yells from the entry to the store.

“Let’s go my love” Damien says, grabbing my hand. As we walk into the store, Amber comes running up holding a long silver dress with purple beads tracing around the plunged back. It looks almost exactly like the one my mother was wearing in the photo I have. The only difference being this dress is fishtail cut and much longer.

“Where in the world would I wear this” I say

“Your Luna Ceremony silly” she says then stops looking at Damien.

“Yes, that would be the perfect dress” he says, a finger on his chin. “I think you should get it”

“Luna Ceremony” I ask. “You want me to be”

“Of course I do my love, and the ceremony is set for a week from today.” He says with a smile. “That is, if you’ll have me.” If I’ll have him? Who could reject this perfect man?

“Say yes. Please say yes. After the ceremony you will shift and I’ll finally get to meet his Wolf”

Shut it Lisabeth I planned on saying yes.

“Good”

“I’d love to be your Luna” I say beaming.

“It’s settled then, you’re getting the dress” Rocket says from beside me. I can’t believe this is actually happening to me. After we get the dress, we stop at five more stores. By the time we leave, we’re carrying out 23 different bags. “Damien, it’s about time for lunch” she says.

“Oh wow it is” he exclaims, looking at his watch. “After we get these bags in the Impala, where would you ladies like to go?” I don’t know the answer but Rocket and Amber do. They look each other in the eye and back at him.

“Chinese” they say in unison.

“Chinese it is then” Damien laughs. We load up the bags and start driving. When we arrive, we are seated in a booth on the back wall. The waitress starts flirting with Damien, acting like us girls do not exist. It hurts and angers me seeing another woman flirting with my Mate.

“Aye lady, I’ll take a water with lemon, my sister will take an iced sweet tea and his fiancé would like hot tea” Rocket says interrupting the waitresses flirting. The waitress rolls her eyes subtlety when Rocket says fiancé. She walks away and Damien laughs.

“Were you getting jealous my love” he asks me. I look down and we all start laughing. Damien and I get up and he fills my plate with a bunch of different foods I’ve never seen before. We all eat while Rocket and Amber tell me embarrassing stories about a young Damien. I realize they’ve known each other for their whole lives. But if that’s so, how old is Damien?

“Remember the time you thought you could breathe underwater and Adrian had to give you cpr” Rocket says laughing at Damien. “That was the best day of my life” he rolls his eyes laughing with her.

“I can breathe underwater” I say. They stop laughing and look at me like I’m crazy. “It’s because of my mom” I clarify and they understand.

“That could come in handy someday” Amber says.

“Uhm Damien” I start.

“Yes my love”

“I don’t mean this in a bad way at all, but how old are you” I say twisting my hair. He knows I’m 18 but I have no clue as to how old he is.

“I’m 28, I’ll be 29 next month” He says. I freeze. 11 years older than me. How has no one freaked out yet? “Don’t worry Darling, it’s perfectly normal in our kind.” He reassured me. We finish eating and head back to our home. It’s a quiet drive with nothing but the music and my quiet singing.
