Mia
“ You know you have a problem with your timing?” I asked, rubbing the sleep off of my eyes as I sat up on the bed . It was a hectic night yesterday at the restaurant and I am still tired from all the work.
“ Don't blame me. You are just lazy, now come on get that butt of yours out of the bed,” Emma said, pulling the covers off of me.
“ Emma,” I yelled at her but she only laughed in response.
“ Can you blame me?” She asked, turning around with a pout.
“ Of course not,” I replied.
I knew there was no chance to miss the ball with her. With a sigh, I swung my feets from the bed before getting off. My dad and Emma prepared everything for us there in advance.
I don't know what kind of people are going to such a remote location. I mean who in their right state of mind throws a grand ball in the middle of the forest?
The night my father got the invitation, I laughed about the location but regretted it later when told me it was his hometown and my mother was from there.
My mother had died in an accident and I never got the chance to meet her. Emma told me my dad shifted here for me to get a better education.
Although Emma lives here with her boyfriend she too belongs from the same place as my father. That's why I decided to go there with them to see the place as curiosity got the best of me.
“ Justine will be here in three hours,” she announced, making me roll my eyes at her.
“ Of course he will,” I said, rolling my eyes again at her. I mean who lets their 18 year old daughter live with their boyfriends?
“ Stop with that,” she slapped my arm lightly as I chuckled. I do have a boyfriend too but I never went far from holding hands because I never felt like it. Although he doesn't like that, he still respects my decisions.
I headed straight to the bathroom grabbing my bathrobe. After I was done with my morning routine I quickly went for a shower. As we still have time, I took my time. After drying myself I applied body butter, before I went to the sink.
“ Come out,” Emma yelled from the room. I always wonder how she could tell that I am done? Brushing my thoughts away, I went out into the room.
“ We need to blow your hair,” she said as he came to me,and making me sit on the chair in front of my vanity.
“ Do whatever you want,” I said, letting her do her job. I love the way she does her makeup and hair, it's always beautiful and perfect. Though she doesn't need any makeup at all because of her flawless skin. I must praise her parents though, they are both stunning in looks and figure. Emma inherited her mother's beauty and her father's green eyes.
“ Done,” she said, making me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see my reflection into the mirror and I was mesmerized by her work.
“ Wow, Emma,” I said, smiling at her as she stood behind me.
“ You are welcome,” she said, with a wide smile on her face.
“ Wear the dress while I do my makeup,” she said, pointing at the bags on the bed.
“ And please will you do me a favour this time?”
“ What?” I asked.
“ Don't wear your shabby underwear. Wear the one I bought. Who knows you might end up getting your ma….. soulmate tonight,” she said with a wink.
“ And you know I have a boyfriend,” I said, looking back at her with a displeased look. She always talks about the things I don't know and as soon as I ask about them she always changes the topic like a mate. And what the hell is mate?
“ I don't like him,” she said, rolling her eyes as she turned her back to me to look at the mirror. She despised Max with all her might and she doesn't hide it at all.
“ I know you don't like him but at least he is being faithful to me,” I said lowering my voice but she heard it anyway.
“ You are naive, Mia. Time will tell what kind of a person he is and by that time I don't want to see you broken by some as*h*le,” she said as she continued her makeup.
“ Justin said Max is also going there with us,” she added, making me smile. I went to the edge of the bed and took the bags that had my underwear and my dress. My eyes went wide when I took out the lingerie I am going to wear. It's a thong.
I didn't want to upset her so I decided to wear it. Then I went for the dress. I took the black dress out of the bag and admired it for a moment. It was a black dress covered in a swarovski. Gorgeous would be understatement for it. It also has a thigh high slit going on, on the left side of the dress giving it a hot hot look.
“ Will you stop staring at it?” Emma said with annoyance. I turned around only to see she was ready and looking absolutely breathtaking in her maroon dress which was complimenting her fair skin well.
“ Wow,” I breathed out.
“ Now wear it or are you planning to go there looking like this,” she said looking at me from head to toe. My cheeks heated up in embarrassment as I forgot I was standing there wearing a thong. I quickly pulled on the dress and she helped me zip it up. The back of the dress also has a deep cut all the way down to my hips.
“ Stunning,” she said, looking at me. But I felt embarrassed as I have never worn anything like this in my life.
“ There is always the first time,” she said, as if she read my mind.
“ Do you think it is okay to wear this?” I asked turning around to look at my back in the mirror again.
“ Urgh, zip it. You are not going to take this gorgeous dress off of your body. I am warning you,” she said, pretending to be mad.
“ Of course not. I love how it fits my curves perfectly,” I said.
“ I don't know how dad would react,” I added.
“ He is going to love it because he was the one who chose this one after I recommended it to him for you.”
“ Where is he?” I asked, when I he realised he didn't come in here rushing us to get ready ahead of time.
“ He left an hour ago. He said he has something important to talk to the umm mayor,” she replied.
“ Oh.”
“ Come, they are here,” she said, urging me.
“ Huh?”
“ He texted me,” she added quickly.
Nodding my head at her, I took my purse and my phone before stepping out of the room. We walked to the front door before swinging it open. And the boys were there waiting for us in front of the black SUV in black tuxedos.
“ Wow, you both are looking stunning,” Justin said as soon as he turned around.
“ Thank you,” I said as I couldn't help but blush at his compliment. Justin hung up the phone before attending to his girlfriend.
“ Babe,” he said, pulling her to his chest before kissing her like his life depends on it. I won't lie, sometimes I do feel jealous of their bond. Is rare to have this but at the same time I pray that they always stay like this. On the other hand Max was looking at me, narrowing his brows, like he is displeased.
“ Hey,” I said, breaking his thoughts.
“ Hey, you are looking good,” he said. But I felt like he wasn't sincere.
“ Thanks.”
“ You are looking good too,” I said.
“ Hmmm,” he hummed in response.
“ Shall we?” Justin asked with a huge smile on his face.
“ Yes,” I said, walking up to his car. Justin quickly made his way to the backseat of the car before pulling the door open for me. This man just melts my heart and I never felt like he was taking anything. I got into the car after thanking him and saw Max walking around the car before he got into the car.
After Justin made sure his girlfriend was in the car with a seat belt, he walked around to the driver side of the car before getting in.
“ I am so excited,” Emma said as Justin started the engine. I looked out of the window as I felt peace as we headed toward my hometown. Emma and Justin were chatting on their own and Max was busy on his phone, I also didn't try to make any conversation as well.
Just as I lost in my thoughts, I jerked up when I felt Max's hand on my thigh.
“ Max!!!”
“ What? You are my girlfriend,” he said, as if he didn't do anything.
“ I have told you before,” I said, looking at him with accusing eyes.
“ yeah yeah. You wanna wait until marriage,” he mocked.
“ Why haven't you worn anything like this to our date?” He asked, raising his voice slightly. From the corner of my eyes I saw Emma and Justin both were looking at me from the mirror.
“ I never felt like it,” I said looking at him. At this point his behaviour made me think of what Emma said. He wasn't like this before, everything has changed since he went on that trip.
“ Suddenly you are feeling like wearing revealing clothes to an unknown place,” he snapped.
“ Hey, watch it man,” Justin snapped back at him.
“ First of all it isn't any unknown place. It is her hometown and secondly she has every right to wear whatever she wants,"Justin said through gritted teeth, looking at him I could tell he was angry.
“ Sure,” Max said, dropping the argument because he knew Justin too well to be argued with. He will not only put him in his place but he can beat the s**t out of him.
Now I truly regret coming here with him. Emma was right. I should talk to him about ending this relationship because if this continues I may slip into depression.
“ We are here,” Emma declared, making me look out of the window. It was astonishing to even look at it. Who could have ever imagined that there would be a huge Mansion at such a remote location…… I stopped my wandering thoughts before it could wander far away when I took in my surroundings.
It is nothing like a remote place; it looks like a city.
“ Wow,” I said looking at the huge Mansion.
“ Please,” someone said. I looked at my side only to see the door was already opened by a I don't know he looked like some kind of commando, with huge built dark skin and well built. I blushed before taking his hand and getting out of the car.
“ What do you think now?” Emma asked to come to my side.
“ Beautiful and amazing,” I replied.
“ I told you,”
“ Come on, let's get inside,” she said. I could tell. I looked at the people and noticed that they are all handsome, well built and tall. It's weird but pleasing to the eyes.
“ Max went with Justin,” Emma said.
“ I thought maybe you wanted to know!”
“ I really don't,” I said, turning my head to look at her.
“ The ball will start at 5 pm. Until then do you want to take a rest?” She asked.
“ Sure,” I said.
“ Come. I want to show you my room,” she said, dragging me upstairs with him.
“ Mia?” I heard my dad's voice from behind, making me turn around.
“ Dad,”
“ You are looking stunning, baby girl,” he said, now he is getting emotional.
“ Are you done with your business?” I asked.
“ Almost,” he replied.
“ Why don't you go upstairs and take a rest until Alpha comes,” he said.
“ Alpha?” I was confused, is it some kind of code word?
“ The Mayor,” Emma said.
“ Oh,”
“ Come,”
We both went upstairs and were about to enter the hallway when I bumped into someone.
“ Ouch,”
