Falling For My Cruel Mate novel Chapter 33

"You should try them on, so that we can really see what they look like!" I said suddenly and shooed her away into the bathroom so she can try the dress on. The dress was pretty but I'm not sure I liked the shade of blue.

For the next hour and a half we tried on all the dress at least twice. I was torn between a cute flowy white dress and more fitted red one. Cipher was pushing me towards the red one of course, but I reminded her that I was not the one looking for a mate tonight. She still practically yanked the white dress away and put it back on the rack with a roll of her eyes. Cipher did not joke when it came to getting dressed up.

It was almost one in the afternoon and I hadn't had lunch. My stomach sounded like an angry bear and I was craving Oreos. "Why can't we just have Oreo's for lunch?" I ask as Cipher and I ran down to the kitchen.

"Because that's not a well balanced meal you goof." She giggled and she pulled open the fridge and began to dig through it. I sighed heavily and leaned against the counter.

"How about a salad?" Cipher says as she plucked some lettuce out of the fridge. I simply shrug my shoulders.

"I'm just going to drown it in ranch dressing."

She gave me yet another eye roll as she began to prepare the salad while I made sure that there was actually ranch dressing in the fridge. Ugh, I could really go for some pepperoni pizza with this dressing.

"Hey ladies," Samuel greeted as he entered the room a big smile on his face. Sam was usually a happy person but I don't think I've ever seen him this happy before. Cipher and I greeted him back in unison.

He sat down at the island and began to type away at his large phone. I took the seat next to him and placed my ranch dressing in front of me and waited patiently for Cipher to finish preparing the salad.

"Why can't we just have pizza?" I ask placing my chin in the palm of my hand.

"Ooo, that sounds so good." Sam says as he lifts his gaze up from his phone. I couldn't help but laugh.

"No. You're gunna eat whatever I make you and today that's a salad." Cipher whipped around and gave us both a stern look.

"You're like the cruel nanny, that I never hired." Ajax entered the room smoothly and made his way over to the fridge. He was in a pair of pleated pants with his white dress shirt pushed up to his elbows. I had squeeze my legs shut to prevent the tingling sensation that came along with looking at such a sexy man.

Cipher and Samuel started talking about their excitement and went on and on about what they imagined their mate to be like. A sad smile graced my face, I was happy for them of course! I was also a bit envious.

As it got later in the day Cipher demanded that I go and shower so that we could start getting ready for the party. I turned the light on in my bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, I decided that I wasn't going to wear much make up tonight. Not because I thought I looked cute but because I was lazy and already mated.

I pulled my hair up into a high bun before stripping myself of the clothes I was wearing and hopped into the shower. I scrubbed my body and face clean before shaving.

I patted myself dry before practically bathing in lotion. I was a stickler when it came to moisturizing. I feel like a lot of people just don't understand the importance of it.

Cipher barged into the bathroom in her bra and panties with her hair pulled into a bun like mine. "What do you think of this set? Is it too much?" She asked.

I raise a quizzical eyebrow at her. "Well, why does it matter it's not like anyone's gunna see it right?" She flushed a bright red and it was the first time I had ever seen Cipher blush.
