Suddenly A Luna Chapter 8 Getting Ready for Dinner

Brenna's POV

A few hours later I am alone standing at the end of my bed with my hands on my hips. My room looks like a disaster. Clothes are everywhere. Needless to say my dresser is empty and all it's contents are thrown on my bed and floor. I am freaking out about the dinner with Jax and his parents tonight. I can't find a single outfit that screams "Meeting my werewolf alpha's parents". Maybe if I've done this before I would have a clue of what to wear.

Throwing my hands in the air I give up and decide to cancel on Jax. I just hope he is the understanding type.

Looking around hopelessly for my phone, I finally find it when I hear the jaws theme playing. I silently thank my best friend Addyson for calling. I answer but don't have time to speak as Addy squeals into the phone.

" B...WERE YOU EVER GOING TO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR NIGHT WITH MR. HOTTIE?"

Sighing into my phone I decide I might as well give her some details, obviously not mentioning the part where I turned into a huge furry dog.

*Ahem, who are you calling a dog? We are way more kickass then that*

Rolling my eyes at my wolf and sticking my tongue out. I have an idea. If I were a cartoon, there's no doubt a lightbulb would've appeared above my head.

Turning my attention back to Addy, I tell her about the dinner tonight. She gets so excited I can hear her jumping up and down.

"So he came back to your dingy apartment last night and now you're having a fashion emergency."

Leave it to Addy to sum up my impending doom in one sentence. Not waiting for my answer she continues excitedly saying she will be right over.

30 minutes later she is at my door and unlocking it with my spare key. I gave it to her in case I ever lock myself out. Which has happened more then once.

She let's herself in, her arms full of clothes, make up and I'm not sure what else. Grabbing my arm she pulls me back to my bedroom. Looking at my clothes everywhere, she moves some clothes on the bed to my small mahogany end table. Finally letting go of my arm she tells me to sit down, pointing to my bed".

I sit down, fidgeting with my hair, while she empties her arms, putting everything neatly on top of my dresser.

She turns around eyeing me up and down. She smiles and picks three dresses and holds them out to me.

"Well what are you waiting for girl go try them on already" she says making a shoo motion with her hands.

I reluctantly take them from her and go to my bathroom. What have I gotten myself into this time? Addy always goes overboard, prepared for anything. Shaking my head I strip off my clothes and try on the first dress.

It's a simple black spaghetti strap dress that comes down to my knees. I take it off and put on the next one. It is a vibrant blue that reminds me of Jax because it's the color of his eyes. I immediately know this is the dress I'll wear tonight. It has wider straps then the first dress, open slightly in the back, and stops a couple inches before my knees.

With a genuine smile on my face I go back to my room to show Addy. My smile however falters when I realize my room now looks like a beauty salon. How the H E double L did she even carry all of this up from her car on her own? Nevermind, it's Addyson she can accomplish anything especially when she is excited about it.

*If you ever bothered to pay attention to the scents around you, you'd know your best friend is the same as us* Kyra pipes in.

Breathing in the air around me, I realize my wolf is right.

*Of course I am. After all I am your better half, I pick up on things even if you don't.*

huh, that explains so much! Itleast I don't have to lie to her about me. That makes this so much easier. I hate lying, especially to her. She's always been here for me, no matter what and honestly Addy knows me better then I know myself.

An hour later Addyson has finished with my hair and makeup. I feel like a Barbie doll whenever she helps me get ready and yeah I

complain sometimes but I secretly love it!

Looking in the mirror on the wall, next to the dresser, I feel beautiful. My hair is in a simple updo with ringlets in the front. Inspecting my makeup It's subtle but also enough to make a lasting impression. She didn't go overboard with this and I am so glad she didn't. My eyeshadow is a mix of blue and green. Matching my eyes and My mate's. There is a light shimmer on my face and the blush is subtle, ending with just a clear lip gloss at my insistence. All the better to kiss my big bad wolf without lipstick smeared everywhere.

"Please tell me you like it B. You look great and not too over the top." Addy says to me.

"I love it. Thank you so much. I am just worried about if his parents will like me or not".

Hearing my bedroom door click behind me I turn to see Jax and my heart flutters. He

looks so handsome in black dress pants, blue button up and a black suit jacket. When our eyes meet he is looking at me smirking at me checking him out. Chuckling he walks to me and we embrace our arms going around each other. Our lips meet but the kiss is short and sweet.

"Don't mess up all my hard work you two" Addyson threatens, glaring at us.

We both laugh and step away but Jax Grabs my hand and holds tight.

"You look amazing. Are you ready to meet my mom and dad?" Jax asks.

At his words I suddenly feel even more nervous. My body becoming rigid with tension.

"Baby my parents will love you, I swear. You have no reason to be nervous. Let's go." he says as he pulls me toward the door.

I pray he is right.

The ride to his parents was a quiet one. I couldn't stop worrying. Wondering what his parents are like and if they'll hate me or love me. I kept my eyes glued to the window and tried not to hyperventilate. Jax must have noticed my nervousness because he kept reassuring me that everything would be okay. His big hand holding onto my smaller one for most of the drive.

"We're here my love" Jax says as he pulls into a long driveway surrounded by woods for miles on either side. I am in awe when we pull up to the grey brick house. Though it's more like a mansion with three floors, a six car garage and a wrap around porch.

Jax opens my door for me and we walk hand in hand to the door. There is a koi pond on the left and rose bushes planted along the walkway on the right. Three steps lead up to the porch. I'm so nervous I would've fallen if not for Jax holding my hand.

Before Jax can ring the doorbell, the door opens. Revealing a tall, ruggedly handsome man, with salt and pepper hair, who looks to be In his fifties. He pulls Jax in for a hug and smiles at me. Standing next to him is a beautiful Black haired woman, who is about the same height as me, 5 ft 2 inches or so. Jax looks just like his mother, other then his height, which he obviously gets from his father. I am taken aback when she pulls me in for a hug.

Jax rescues me with "Mom let her breathe". Letting me go, she ushers us in and chatters happily all the way to a stunning back patio. She leads us to a wooden table, with four Glasses, a bottle of white wine in a bucket of ice already in the center of it. I sit down next to Jax as his parents sit across from us.

Looking around I see an 8 seater hot tub, next to an in-ground pool with steps leading down in, the pool gets deeper the farther you go. I would love to go swimming with Jax in the pool. Stuck in my thoughts I barely realize anyone was speaking to me until Jax squeezes my thigh bringing me back to the present.
