Rescuing His Captive Mate: Saving The Future Luna

Today was my date with Artem. It had been three days since he asked me to go out with him and I was still totally clueless. I didn't know where we were going. I didn't know what to do. And I definitely didn't know what to wear.

When I called Chay (I was getting really good with using the phone over the last few days with the help of Chay and Bailey) and told her that I needed help she had rushed right over.

"I'm so proud of you." She squealed as she ran into my room without even knocking. She had set her course for me and ran right to my side, pulling me into her arms.

"Proud of me for being so stupid?" I wondered as I slammed my closet door shut.

"No, proud of you for acting like a real girl."

"Once again Chay, I have no idea what you're even talking about." I just rolled my eyes at her and went to flop on my bed.

I bounced gently twice before I settled onto the sheets and blankets. I was totally stupid when it can to all this stuff and I knew it. UGH! Why did I have to be this way?

"You're a real girl right now because any girl would be worrying about what to wear on their first date, let alone their first date with someone like my brother."

"What do you mean, someone like your brother?"

"I know that women consider my brother a catch. He's good looking, strong, has power and authority, is smart even though he acts stupid as hell most of the time, and not to mention he's one of the nicest people around."

"I-I knew some of that about him." I blushed as I thought about what it was I had thought of him.

"Really?" Chay wiggled her eyebrows and came to flop on my bed next to me, landing on her side with her hand propping up her head. "What is it you knew about him?"

"T-that he was nice. That he was strong. Th-that he w-was handsome." I think my face just caught on fire, literally. That is how hot it felt right then.

"You did, huh?" Chay looked playful now.

"Oh stop teasing me." I snapped at her as I grabbed a pillow. I really couldn't believe what I was doing, but I slapped her in the face with the pillow which caused her to scream slightly before she burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, I will stop." She was grinning now. "But I will find it all out eventually." That seemed like a really mischievous look in her eyes. "Come on, let's get your outfit picked out." She grabbed my hand then and pulled me off the bed and toward my closet.

Chay and I looked through everything she and Artem had bought me since I came here. There were the things that I got for my birthday too, which I really did like some of them.

"What about those?" I asked as I pointed toward the bags that I had yet to put away.

"YES!" Chay exclaimed as she clapped her hands together. "That will be perfect."

Chay ran to the bags, kneeling on the floor as she looked through them one by one. She was looking for something specific.

After several minutes she came back to where I stood and held up her pick. She had the red tank top I had really liked. Well it was mostly red, but it was also covered in a lot of black as part of the design that formed a few different roses in the pattern. Along the stems and petals there were shiny silver dots that had been added after the shirt was made, it helped to make the design pop a little more.

To go along with the shirt she had gotten the cute little dark blue jean skirt that had black trim around the edges and the pockets. She had also grabbed a pair of black slip on canvas shoes and some of the jewelry that they had gotten me.

By the time Chay was done with all that she wanted to add to me I had on a necklace and two bracelets. The set that Artem had picked out for me himself as well as a plain silver chain on my right wrist. 

Chay didn't do my hair and makeup today. Instead she was slowly instructing me on how to do it all myself. She was teaching me a simple braid right now. Or she said it was simple but it seemed pretty damn hard to me. I was on my third try now and I was just finally getting it to look the way it was supposed to. After my hair was done, she was going to help me with my makeup. But she promised to keep it simple.

I ended up with a rosy color on my lips, no blush, and just a little bit of eye makeup. We had used a medium gray color so that it would go with everything that I was wearing. I thought I looked completely different, but not in a bad way.

As I looked at myself I looked like what I would expect a normal girl would look like on a regular basis.

"If you just keep practicing and doing simple things you will look super cute, no actually really hot with just the stuff that you've done today."

"I look hot?" I turned my head and asked her with awe written on my face.

"Definitely. You will have another speechless Artem on your hands." Her smile made me giggle. I had actually liked getting that response from him the other day.

"I'm nervous." I took a deep breath before I looked at her. "Will it go alright?"

"The date?" Chay didn't look upset or worried at all. "Definitely. You will have fun. I know you will. And Artem will be there to take care of you."

"That's good." I blushed as I thought about tonight. I wonder if he will kiss me again?
