Lost In His Arm's

Chapter8

Silvia’s POV

“ When was it announced? I wasn’t informed,” I questioned Ella with a look of confusion.

“ I just got to know some minutes ago, that was why I rushed down here, Have you seen Patrick today? Didn’t he inform you prior till now?” She inquired and took her seat on my small couch.

“ He just left here a few minutes ago and he never made mention of it. I am still shocked by your revelation. I noticed that he was acting strange when he came here,” I revealed to her, she is my only friend and there was no point hiding anything from her.

“ It must have skipped his mind or he probably wasn’t also informed,” Ella assumed, siding with Patrick.

“ Oh! That is by the way. Do you have any idea why the mating ceremony wants to be held in such a hurry?” I asked putting away all the clothes scattered on the floor.

“ I also have no idea. In Fact I was dumbfounded when I heard the News, They used to inform us a month before the occasion but they didn’t this time around,”

“ I don’t know what changed but that doesn’t matter anyway,” I concluded.

“ So do you have what to wear? You are mating with Patrick this year right?” She reminded me and I gushed at the thought of mating with my love.

“ I don’t really have something so presentable to wear, I thought I was going to get a pretty cloth before the day but who knew they were going to hurry it like this,” I could feel a headache coming with this sudden arrangement.

“ Don’t worry you have me here, nothing should bother you again. I will style you up to the extent that he will feel like swallowing you that day,” I blushed at what she just said and she teased me further.

“ Have you guys done it yet?,” I covered my face and hit her playfully.

“ Stop it,” we both bursted into uncontrollable laughter.

“ So tell me, was he good? How strong is he,” she shamelessly asked and I just shook my head in disappointment.

“ You are so ridiculous, can you ever stop being a p*****t?” I was astonished by her thoughts.

“ I was just kidding, you don’t have to abuse me,” she surrendered and got back to a serious state.

“ I will come and pick you tomorrow morning, we will get some nice clothes and accessories for you,”

“ Get ready before I arrive. Okay?” She is fond of acting strictly, especially when she is serious.

“ Alright, you can be rest assured. What time should I be expecting you?” I asked her.

“ As early as possible, you know that we have only tomorrow left, right? We will try to get everything done by tomorrow,” she stood up from where she sat down and emphasize.

“ No problem. Tomorrow it is then,” we made our way out and I escorted her to a safe distance before I made my way back to my hut.

I settled down on my couch and pondered on what could have prompted Patrick to act the way he did.

‘ Perhaps you are overthinking things,’ a strange voice spoke in my head and I agreed with her.

I took a cold cup of water to calm my nerves and clear my head. It didn’t take long before I dozed off on the couch that I sat down on.

Next day,

The ray of sunlight seeped through the Cotton and hit my face. I used my hand to block the ray and my brain immediately sent a message to me.

I opened my eyes warily and realized that I slept off on the couch. My head clicked and I immediately jumped out of the couch.

‘ Ella will be here soon and she mustn’t meet me like this. She will nag at me,’ I pondered and rushed to my single space wardrobe.

I hurriedly skimmed through it and picked an old looking jacket and trouser. “ This should do the job,” I spoke out to no one in particular.

I rushed to the toilet which is also my bathroom that was demarcated with wood outside the hut. I took my bath quickly and made my way back into the house.

I was still drying my body when a knock came on the door. I need no soothsayer to tell me that the person was Ella. I managed to dry my body ignoring her screams outside.

I wore my clothes then went to open the door for her. “ I have been knocking since, Why didn’t you open the door for me on time?” She questioned with anger visibly written in her face.

“ I was busy,” I replied nonchalantly, she is such a narcissist.

“ Busy doing what? Is this what you are wearing out?” She raised her eyebrow at me.

“ Yeah, what is wrong with it?” I asked, checking out the outfit again.

“ Can’t you just dress more appropriately, a dress will do at least,” she sighed with a look of worry.

“ I am a fighter and this is what I am supposed to wear Incase anything comes up,” I tried to convince her.

“ And are you going there to fight? I wonder how Patrick fell in love with you,” she mumbled the last statement but I still managed to hear her.

“ That’s your own opinion, We have many things to do. Let us go,” I stood firm on my decision and we made our way out of my home.

“ Our first location is to get you a pretty, stunning dress that will make you resemble a Disney princess or a Barbie,” she gushed and I laughed at her facial expression.

We walked a few distance and came to the front of an exquisite looking building.

“ Here we are!” Ella screamed excitedly while I just stared at her display. We entered and everywhere was busy in preparation for tomorrow then an omega attendant reached out to us.

“ Hello ma’am, you are welcome. What will you like us to help you with?” She asked with a professional smile.

“ We need a ball gown,” Ella told her and she guided us to the section.

“ Look who we have here,” a voice that I never wanted to hear spoke behind me.
