I sank to the floor with a great big sigh. Oh, goddess, I'm tired. And I don't want to think about him. I lay for a few minutes and when my heart resumed to its normal beating. I rose from the floor and picked up my bag.
I had survived my first day with him. I was eating snacks and reading books. It helps me to relax my mind. Then my phone vibrates, I saw there was msg with an unknown number, so I was thinking of opening the text or not when it vibrates again, and in the text, there was written { save my number- Caliban}
When I opened it there was a message
~Caliban~
{ I'm taking you out tomorrow, so be ready. I will pick you up at 7}
No, no it's not happening ...
I was thinking the next two days will be free of Caliban. But I think not now. Thoughts of having two days of freedom from him began fading away like clouds
I wanted to tell him there was no way in hell I was going out with him tomorrow night. But instead. I just text back ...
~Celeste~
{ok}
~Caliban~
{Are you sure?}
I wanted to text, if I say no then what! I wanted to shout at him!
I need to cool down. And saw the brighter side of it. After all, it is my first date and with an extremely hot guy, even he scared me sometimes.
~Celeste~
{ yeah }
I answered.
~Caliban~
{Ok, bye kitten}
Text ended...
Why did he have to call me that when he said that, Olivia's story automatically come to my mind, it's like history repeating itself. I'm going to die and how?
Eaten by the wolf...
I think it's painful. No-no-no stops thinking these things he will not going to kill me.
R-R-right,
I told to myself. Date with the hottest guy excites me but at the same time, he is the scariest guy. And I heard that curiosity kill the cat.
Ahhhhh...
Stop thinking those things, Celeste ....be calm, nothing is going to happen. I said to myself.
In the morning
Last night was horrible. I didn't sleep, the whole night I was thinking about my date. What should I wear? I have sweaters, hoodies, jeggings, and more sweaters and more hoodies. Why I didn't hear mom when she said to buy me dresses, why I always ignore her.
I called Olivia...
On phone.
~Olivia~
{You are what?}
I pulled the phone away from my ear. Even from distance, I could hear her.
~Celeste~
{I said we are going on a date...}
~Olivia~
{Who?}
~Celeste~
{Me and Caliban!}
And silence….. then she said...
~Olivia~
{I'm coming over, text your address.}
I sighed and texted her my addresses.
This might be a bad idea, I don't know, and threw my body onto the sofa. I rubbed my ideas and yawned. and started doing house chores.
One hour later, the doorbell rang, I rose from the sofa and opened the door. And I regret instantly.
She was standing outside wearing a crop top paired with a skirt. Sunglasses on her eyes. Paper bags and a purse are hanging under her arm and the shoulder bag looks like it was going to burst anytime. I'm going on date, not on war... Why does she bring so many things? It was a bad idea! I know that...
~Olivia~
"Looked at you, you didn't even take shower yet, you are far from being prepared and your date is a few hours away."
~Celeste~
"It was nine hours away, not a few hours..."
~Olivia~
"Do you call me for help or not?"
~Celeste~
"Yeah..."
~Olivia~
"Go and take shower, I did not think you are this hopeless."
I grumbled as I jumped in the shower. she is bossy and hella annoying. I stepped out of the shower, put lotion on my body, and wear a bathrobe. When I got out of the bathroom. I stopped in my track. My room looks like some hurricane came and go. clothes that I am sure were not mine, were everywhere and makeup lined on the bed. And there she is standing.
~Celeste~
"I'm rethinking my decision to call you."
~Olivia~
"Don't be dramatic, come here and help me find a dress for you."
And finally, after so much argument we came to one dress. Which showed less skin, the dress was short but not too short. And it takes three hours and I didn't think that it takes too much time but if we didn't argue, then it will take less time.
~Olivia~
"What are you thinking, it's time for the next step, sit here?"
Pointing to the chair.
~Celeste~
"Are you sure, you did not turn me into a clown or worst a ghost!"
~Olivia~
"Do I look like a ghost?"
She snapped.
~Celeste~
"I don't know..."
I chuckle and she gives me a devilish smirk. And I rolled my eyes.
~Celeste~
"Maybe a little mascara, lip gloss, eyeliner, and done!"
~Olivia~
"If you have already figured out everything by yourself then, why am I here?"
She said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes
~Olivia~
"Relax Celeste..."
I didn't say something and relaxed in my seat as she began to curl my hair. I closed my eyes and after maybe 20 or 25 minutes I opened my eyes. She was done with my hair. And start applying makeup. I don't know it has so many steps… Prime your face, Apply foundation, Use a concealer, bronzer, And your blush, eye makeup, lip color, and lastly she sprays something I don't know what is that. She turned my chair and say
~Olivia~
"Ta-da!"
I stared at myself in disbelief. Okay, I had to admit, she had done a pretty good job. I almost looked hot.
The makeover enhanced my eyes and made them bigger than they ever had before and my lips were light pink with a gentle shine.
~Celeste~
"Olivia, you are great!"
~Olivia~
"I know...You are pretty. I was just messing with you when I said that you are not pretty."
She hugged me and we both stared at my reflection in the mirror.
~Olivia~
"I feel excited for you, even when I shouldn't!"
~Celeste~
"Why?"
~Olivia~
"I mean, you might not come back alive, right?"
~Celeste~
"Thanks for your motivation!"
I rolled my eyes.
~Olivia~
"I think you have to leave a letter for your parents in the case, you know!"
~Celeste~
"SHUT UP! OLIVIA"
~Olivia~
"Ok, ok. By the way, where are your parents?"
~Celeste~
"They are on a business trip."
~Olivia~
"Both?"
~Celeste~
"yeah."
~Olivia~
"Awwww.. poor kitten..."
Celeste
"SHUT UP! I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU SAY THAT WORD ONE MORE TIME. I SWEAR!!!"
~Olivia~
"hmm..."
She rolled her eyes. I want to punch her but settled for a glare instead.
I'm looking in the mirror, I think it is a little tight and too short for my liking so I try to pull it lower. She slapped my hands away.
~Olivia~
"Stop it. It's not tight and neither short. It shows your curve."
I ignored her. And tried to walk on the heels.
~Celeste~
"You know, I think maybe snickers are better than the heel."
~Olivia~
"I know that but you are not going to wear sneakers, so stop your mind wandering. And you are not going to fall."
I walked to the full-length mirror again and stared at myself worriedly. It isn't me. Clothes, makeup, jewelry, heels, But I liked it. Because I wondered what Caliban think. He liked it or not?
~Celeste~
"Do you think, he likes it?"
~Olivia~
"Of course, you look like a princess."
~Celeste~
"I'm not…."
~Olivia~
"Hey, it's ok… you gonna be fine. You know we heard so many rumors about him. But he never misbehave with you, was he?"
~Celeste~
"No…. but you know, he is Alpha. I'm human. There is no future…"
