Everleigh:

The day went on without any major incidents and I hadn't seen Ash since our heated moment this morning. I don't really know how tonight is going to turn out, I'm super nervous.

I decided to snuggle up with Rose in front of one of her favourite movies also known as 101 Dalmatians. She had already fallen asleep when Annie came right in front of the tv blocking my view.

"What do you think you are doing?" she gave me a pointed look placing her hands on her hips and tapping her foot.

"What do you think you are doing?" I argued back still confused about what exactly she is doing here. She huffed air before continuing.

"You are supposed to be getting ready for your dinner date with the Alpha tonight." I raised an eyebrow at her.

How does she know that?

"I know because he wouldn't shut up about it when he was talking with the guys. And it was bound to happen at some point in time."

Did I say that out loud?

"You did." She gave me an amused look.

By that point, I was up from the sofa with Rose in my arms walking up the stairs with Annie following me up to her room to lay her down.

Once I was done putting her down for the afternoon nap that she had missed because she was out at the park with Paul and Louis.

I closed the door behind her and turned around to face her.

"And you are bugging me because..." I crossed my arms over my chest waiting for her answer.

"I'm here to get your ready silly! And we better hurry it's already coming up to five o'clock" she exclaimed out of joy. I slapped her arm playfully to tell her to quiet down since we were still in front of Rose's room.

"Ow!" I gave her the shush sign and dragged her to mine and Asher's room to let her continue her explanation.

She shut the door behind her and went straight to my closer looking and pulling clothes out. I was just standing there in utter shock. I was not expecting her to help me out. I never really had any other best friend other than Victoria and she did love bags, clothes and stuff but I was never her model. Nor did I ever need to dress up for a guy because my father, brother and Sergei never let a guy approach me even when we were in meetings.

"Ummm, Annie. What exactly am I going to do while you destroy my closet?" I walked up to her and she came out with undergarments in her hand.

"You Mrs future Mortimer and Lunar of the Reign are going to have a shower and do all the necessities such as shaving and so on. " She placed the lacy underwear in my hands and pushed me into the suite before I could protest.

Deciding to put my faith in her clothing style knowing that she did have a good taste in clothes since the time we went shopping and she bought all the store for clothes for me whilst I was just taking the bare minimum. I took twenty mins to do my shower with a hair wash and all. I slipped on the red lacy bra and pantie and walked out of the bathroom with a towel on my head.

"Wow, you are one sexy mama! I mean look at that body! Guuurrrlll! No wonder the boss want to tap that. I sure would! Tell me your secret to the perfect body!" she was fanning herself to add more dramatic effects. I blushed a bit at her comments and put on a silk robe that was hung by the bathroom door feeling uncomfortable with her intense gaze.

"Nice Mark by the way." She winked making me blush furiously.

She finally snapped out of it and walked me to the chair that she had placed in front of the dresser where was laid different beauty products. She sat me down and started her magic. She took a good hour maybe more to finish with my face and hair and I just wanted something discreet. She did a warm toned eye with a deep red lipstick and a small wing liner to accentuate my and I quote " sexy devil cat eyes".

This girl has a very colourful vocabulary when it comes to describing me. I didn't remember her being that enthusiastic when I first hung out with her. I like her like this even if she has gone batshit crazy for just one dinner.

She chucked me a red dress and told me to put in on and I did. I came out of the closet and walked to the mirror to see the finished result. And damn did I look good. I don't remember the last time I was this dolled up.

The dress was red with a deep neckline that revealed a lot of cleavage that gave my boobs a good look but led me to take off my bra since we could see it. I didn't mind much though. It was a very form fitting dress that stopped just my knee. My hair was in loose curls and I had a pair of black high heels on.

I turned around to face a very happy Annie and I gave her back that smile.

"You look really beautiful Everleigh." She stood up and took my hands in hers looking deep into my eyes smiling.

"Thank you so much, Annie, I look really good all thanks to you." I took her in my arms and gave her a big hug and she gave it back.

"Look at the time it's seven! Gosh, time flies when you are having fun! Let's get that pretty little ass of yours downstairs." I nodded and we both headed towards the door and down the stairs.

Sometimes I wonder how Ray can contain her energy...

At the bottom of them was waiting for a very handsome looking Ash who was in a black button up shirt with black dress pants and a matching vest, no tie and smart shoes. His hair was done in a nice quiff and he had his dazzling smile with those dimples.

I walked up to him and gave him a peck on the lips.

"You look gorgeous angel." We both gazed into each other's eyes and I was about to compliment him back when Annie interrupted.

"Thank you I know! She's my masterpiece!" She added more drama whipping a fake tear at the corner of her eye. Ash and I both rolled our eyes at her behaviour but I still let out a small giggle when I saw the look on her face.

"Well, you guys better be off then! Go on lovebirds enjoy your night! Don't worry about Rose everything will be al.." Carter got cut off by a loud cry coming from upstairs.

Both Asher and I pushed our way through and went up to Rose's room to see what the matter was. We pushed the door open to find a very upset Rose and a very distressed Paul trying to calm her down.

"What happened?" Both of them looked at me and that stopped Rose's yelling and a sigh of relief came from Paul.

She ran up to me screaming 'mummy mummy' as a picked her in my arms placing her on my hip giving a murderous look at Paul for making my baby cry.

"Hey don't look at me like that. She was asking for you and when I told her you were going out she started screaming murder! She has a good set of pipes there! " He ran his hand through his hair lightly pacing around the room.

"Maybe we should stay here, for Rose, it's best so that she doesn't get to upset." Ash placed his arms around my body from behind looking at Rose in my arms.

"I'm sorry what did you just say?" I turned in his arms placing Rose on the floor and she immediately wrapped her arms around my leg.

" Well... I thought with Rose in this state you wouldn't want to go and I completely get it if you don't want to go. We can do this another time." He smiled sweetly at me and I'm touched that he is taking my possible feelings in consideration for this but I want to go out.

" It's really sweet that you let me chose but I want to go out. I did not go through that torture with Annie and shoving my butt in this dress for no one to see it. " I placed my hands on his chest waiting for in response.

"What about Rose? she will be upset," He asked with a little worry in his voice.

I smiled and bent down to Rose's level with as much grace as I could considering the tight dress that I am wearing.

"Baby girl, mummy and daddy are going out together to eat but we will be back later and you will see us again in the morning but for now you have to go to bed and listen to mummy and be a good girl for your uncles." I caressed her hair and she till had teary eyes and a pouty lip.

"But Rose wants to go with you mummy." She sniffed and I do feel bad for wanting to leave.

"Ok baby, but we did this before. Why do you want mummy to stay tonight?" I questioned her whipping the few tears that had left her eyes.

I don't like seeing our pup cry. My wolf thinned feeling our pup's sadness.

She took a deep breath and swung her arms around my neck.

" Because I scwared."I rubbed her back picking her up with me.

" Scared of what princess." Ash was to question stepping closer to us placing his hand on her back and the other on my waist.

"That mommy and daddy won't come back to me" she let out her tears again. We did a group hug with Rose in my arms and me in Asher's.

I knew he could feel my sadness because Rose was sad. It was all affecting us.

" You know baby that won't happen. We will always come back." I tried reassuring her. I looked into Ash's eyes and he gave me the same look.

"We will stay," We said in sync. She nodded her head in my neck and did the grabby arms to her daddy and he took her.

"Um, guys I don't mean to interrupt your little family moment but I think you can still have your night out." Ray came from behind us.

"How? I don't want to leave Rose anymore. I thought I did but I changed my mind." I was quick to add.

" Don't worry I've got an idea! just give me fifteen minutes." he left running down the steps leaving a very confused me and Asher.
