novelxo Chapter 8
Jayda's POV
Here I was, on my way to the mall with Nikki who is driving like a maniac.
I sigh, I have told her to slow down but she just waves me off.
I then remember I was going to invite Ellie to come to the mall with us and to come to the ceremony so I call her.
The phone rings and all I can think is 'please pick up'
I get the voice mail.
The fücking voicemail!!!!
I start thinking of possible scenarios of things that could have happened to her.
What if she had an accident? What if she is sick? What if she had an accident and died... No that can't be...
My eyes instantly fill with tears, I sniff quietly and Nikki's eyes snap to mine. When she sees the tears she gets a freaked out and pulls over.
"Woah, I am so sorry I didn't mean to scare you with my driving" she says frowning.
I shake my head. "It's not that, my friend hasn't answered the phone in 3 days and I think something happened to her" I say sniffling.
She gives me a blank look. "Are you seriously crying because of that? Maybe she is busy or her charger broke, you need to stop being so clingy Jayda. Give her a little space and she will call you soon" Nicole says simply.
I think about it, maybe I am being too clingy and thats why she isn't answering.
I sigh and nod.
She smiles and starts driving again.
When we get to the mall, Nikki drags me inside and we walk to the first store.
I start scanning through the racks of clothing, taking all everything that caught my eye.
I look for Nikki and see her doing somewhat the same thing. She has this creepy grin on her face and is taking every dress she sees.
After I have 5 dresses that I like, I go to the fitting room to try them on.
The first was a blue high low dress with a brown belt.
It looked okay but I didn't love it.
"Jayda!" Nikki yells.
"In the fitting room" I call out.
"Open the door I want to see you dresses" she says.
I open the door so I can come out of the fitting room and show her the dress but she has other ideas. As soon as I open the door she walks in, since the fitting rooms are quite big we still have space. she sits in the little bench as if it were a normal thing.
I just stare at her, making her roll her eyes at me.
"I don't like it, its too plain" she says motioning to the dress I was wearing.
I nod and was about to take the dress off when I remembered Nikki was sitting behind me. I turn around.
"I need to ummm change" I stutter.
"Then change, look we both have mates and We have the same things so just get changed so I can help you pick a dress" Nikki says shrugging.
I think about it and its true.
I strip out of the dress, and try the other ones.
None of them were what I wanted. They were either, too short, too boring, too formal, too casual or too slutty.
We have been to 7 stores and I still hadn't found a dress.
Nikki found her perfect dress, 2 stored ago. It was a soft pink dress with leather pumps and a leather clutch. She looked really good because her outfit was sweet but edgy, just like her. "C'mon Jayda! Its been 4 hours!" Nikki whines.
"Lets just go to this last store" I say giving her a puppy face.
She sighs "okay, but just that store after that we go eat"
I nod eagerly. And run towards the store.
I love shopping I guess you could call me a girly girl. I am the kind of girl you would see on Pinterest looking at awesome clothing ideas or reading lots of fashion magazines.
I start looking through the racks when I see a dress that I think is the one. I quickly grab it in my size and go try it on.
When I have the dress on I can't help but smile. Its perfect. Its a red skater dress with white polka dots all over it (like Minnie Mouse's dress). It has a strapless sweetheart neckline and I am just in love.
"Nikki!" I holler.
"What?" She says from somewhere around the store. I bet the humans are talking crap about us not having class.
"Come, look at the dress. I think rhis is the one" I say loudly.
I wait a few seconds until the fitting room's door burt open to see a grinning Nikki.
She sees the dress and her eyes light up.
"Oh, my. You look amazing! Wait a second. Let me look for some shoes and a clutch to go with that!" She says storming out of the room.
I wait a few minutes until Nikki comes back with some white high heels and a read clutch.
I put on the heels and hold the clutch looking at myself in the mirror.
I really do look good.
"All we have to do is your make up, and hair and your look will be complete" Nikki says with a smile.
"What should we eat?" I ask her.
She shrugs.
"How about we get take out for our mates? Surprise them while they are working and have a little date before the ceremony" I say with a grin.
"Oh my God, yes! That is a great idea! I can't wait to see Luke" she says with excitement in here voice.
"What should we get?" I ask her.
"Well, Luke's favorite is Thai food so that's what i am going to get him" she says and I instantly frown. I don't know what's Maddox favorite food. What kind of mate am I?
"Umm, what's Maddox favorite food?" I ask Nikki.
"Well he eats pretty much anything but his favorite is Italian" she says with a thoughtful expression.
I smile gratefully at her, we both agree to split up, buy the food and meet back in the car.
When I got to the car Nikki still wasn't there so I decide on calling Ellie again. I don't care if she thinks that I am being clingy. Not picking up was really out of character for Ellie. She was always glued to her phone.
I call her about 4 times and she doesn't pick up.
Nikki gets to the car and smiles. "What did you get?" She asks.
"Lots of pasta's, you?" I ask.
"Something that seemed really tasty, not sure what it is" she shrugs.
The drive home was quick.
Wow, I already call it home. Well I guess it is my home. Maddox did say that his mate was to live with him and I am his mate so....
Anyways, Nikki and I hugged each other and waved goodbye.
I opened the door that was luckily unlocked, then tip toed towards Maddox's office. I opened the door and couldn't believe what I saw.
Papers were scattered all over the floor, and an adorable Maddox was sleeping with his head on his desk, his breath came out even, and his face was calm.
I felt the need to 'awwwwn' because my mate looked so damn cute and innocent at the moment.
I slowly walked up to him because I didn't want him to wake up.
I was going to cares his sleeping face, my hand was almost touching his cheek when suddenly his had snapped up to grab my wrist in a tight hurtful grip.
His face was no longer the calm and innocent one but it had turned into a scowl. I hissed and tried to pry his fingers out of my wrist because his claws had elongated and were digging into my skin. I felt tears in my eyes because of the pain.
"Maddox, stop. Wake up please" I plead, the tears spilling.
Maddox opened his eyes, his face was confused and disoriented for a moment until he saw my tear stained face.
His eyes trailed down to his hand that was wrapped around my wrist. My hand was already bleeding because the Claws dug deeper every time he moved and I was pretty sure there was going to be a huge purple bruise until it healed.
As soon as he saw what he was doing he let go of my hand and looked at me with regret in his eyes.
"I-i am so sorry Jayda, I didn't mean to hurt you" he stutters.
I know, its okay" I say trying to smile but it ends up looking like a grimace since I am in pain.
He wraps his arms around me in a tight hug and starts rocking us back and forth "Baby, please forgive me. I didn't mean to. Don't leave me" He says, panic clear in his voice.
"Maddox, I would never leave you" I say softly.
He pulls away slightly. "I hurt you, l-i promise I will be a better mate to you, I've been a shitty mate to you but I will be better" he says kissing me fiercely. I kiss him back just as hard, we both show our need for each other in that kiss. When we finally pull away we are both breathing heavily.
"I brought food, so we could have an, umm date" I say blushing deep red.
He smiles widely "really?" He asks.
I nod shyly.
He smiles goofily but you can still see how guilty he looks of what he did in his eyes.
"A little birdie told me your favorite food is Italian" I say, his eyes instantly light up.
"I is" he says
"I am going to bring something ti drink" I say, standing up and quickly going to the bathroom to clean off the dry blood of my hand, it was already healing but it felt sore and it was an ugly purple color.
I sigh, then go to the kitchen to get some soda cans and some plastic cups with some ice.
When I go back, I see that Maddox had cleaned up all of the papers from the floor and desk and had also set up two plates served with pasta neatly on either side of his desk.
"Hey" I say softly as I approach him.
"Hey" he says looking down at me with love in his eyes.
"You know, I was suppose to take you on a date not the other way around" he says frowning.
I shrug "Its okay, we are having the date at your house so its like a date we both worked on" I say smiling.
"First of all this is your house. Whatever is I own is yours and if you ever need or want something, anything you just have to ask and I will give it. Also, I will be taking you on a date as soon as you get used to your role as Luna" he says with a charming smile.
I nod with a huge grin un my face.
We eat all of the food, laughing and getting to know each other better. After about 2 hours it was already 7 and time to get ready for the ceremony.
I take a quick shower, wrap a towel around myself and step out of the bathroom.
Maddox is getting ready in the guest room.00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
