Cheyenne’s P.O.V
The next day, my alarm went off as planned, and I quickly jumped out of bed and hurried to the bathroom. I did my business, took a shower, and dried off, going back into the bedroom to get dressed. I picked out my clothes the night before and pulled on my shorts and a spaghetti strap top, then slid my sandals on and did my hair. I went to the dresser to grab the plate to take down with me, but it was gone and in its place was a note and a lily. I picked the lily up and smelled it, then read the note.
“Geesh, this guy is reminding me of my freaking dad.” I said, rolling my eyes. I turned around and cleaned my room, made my bed, and left, heading downstairs to wait for Mercury. I walked into the kitchen, and he was already up, leaning against the counter and drinking a cup of coffee. When I saw him, I swear to god my heart skipped a beat. He looked so hot, but I quickly shook it off and smirked at him.
“Alright dad, let's go.” I said, but he looked at me like I was crazy.
“First off, i'm not your dad. Second, you're late coming down, so get your ass in the car.” Mercury said, proving my point.
“Okay, firstly, that was such a total dad thing to say, and if you don't want me to call you dad, then dont leave notes for me to read and do. Secondly, no, I'm not late, you said ten, and it's nine forty-five, asshole. So if you want to go, then let's head out.” I replied, and he snarled, he actually snarled. He walked past me and out the front door to the car with me following behind him. I got in the car, and we set off, all the time driving in silence to the mall. He turned on the radio, and the first song that came on was a country song called its five o’clock somewhere. I started to sing along to it, and pretty soon, we were pulling onto the parking lot of the mall.
“I think the mall is closed. What time does it normally open?” I asked, looking around, and he just chuckled.
“I own this mall, trust me in two hours. It's going to be slap full of people.” Mercury replied, still laughing. I rolled my eyes and thought great, just great. He grabbed my arm and pulled me along, but I jerked out of his grasp.
“I know how to walk, thank you. Stop rushing me. Damn.” I said, and he just sighed.
Mercury’s P.O.V
I closed my eyes and started counting to ten, trying my hardest to calm down, but she really wasn't making this easy.
“Fine, can we just get into the mall so we can get the shopping done.” I asked in my softest tone. She nodded her head and started to walk in front of me, giving me the perfect view of her ass. I watched her walk and I couldn't tear my eyes off her.
“Damn that ass.” I thought to myself, but quickly shook it off and walked to catch up to her. We got into the mall, and the first place we went to was a dress store, making Cheyenne roll her eyes. We walked into the shop, and I picked out ten dresses for her to try on before the store clerk came over to us.
“Hi, welcome to our boutique. Would you like to try on these dresses?” The store clerk asked, and Cheyenne nodded yes.
“Well, just follow me, and I'll take you to the fitting room.” The store clerk said, leading the way. I followed behind and picked up another ten dresses on the way for her to try on. I handed her the dresses and watched as she went in.
“I want to see you in each dress.” I said, as she closed the door.
“Ugh!” Cheyenne called out, but I wanted to see if they suited her or not.
Cheyenne’s P.O.V
I tried on all the dresses, and even though some were a little too sexy, I still like them. I had to show Mercury every dress, and finally, I was done, I came out of the fitting room, and Mercury nodded.
“We’re getting all of them.” Mercury said, turning to the clerk. The clerk nodded, rang them all up, and Mercury paid.
“Just send them to my house, you know the address.” Mercury said, and the clerk nodded. We walked out of the store and into the next one, which was a shoe store.
“Sit down there. What size are you?” Mercury asked as I took my seat.
“I'm a size eight in shoes and eight and half in heels.” I replied. He nodded and walked off. He came back with god knows how many pairs of heels, each of them matching the dresses we got. He made me try each pair on and walk around in them. Mercury left again and this time came back with sandals and regular shoes, making me do the same again. The clerk rang them up, and Mercury paid, saying the same thing as he said last time. Just send them to his house, and the clerk nodded. We left that store and went to the next, which was casual wear, jeans, shorts and shirts. He again did the same thing and picked out everything he wanted me to wear, making me try them on and show him. He paid for everything and told the clerk to send them to his house and then we left, going to the next shop. I swear this man has a fetish, clothes or something and everything has to match. I have a right mind to get odd socks, just to annoy him and see what he would do. We reached the next shop and I saw that it was Victoria’s Secret, this is where I drew the line and turned around to stop him.
“Look, you have decided on everything else. I can decide on my own bras and underwear, and this time, I'm not coming out to show you, so don't even try it. I know what I like.” I said, putting my hand on his chest and stopping him from going any further.
“Fine, but they better match. If they don't, then I'll be deciding on them.” Mercury said, smirking at me. I rolled my eyes and walked in the store twenty minutes later, and Mercury was paying for thirty sets of matching bras and panties. He told the clerk the same thing he had told all the others, just send them to my house. The next store we went to was the jewelry store, and when I looked up at the name, I was shocked, ‘Zales’. What the hell are we doing here?
“Why are we here?” I asked, confused.
“You need jewelry to go with the dress and other clothes. You're not wearing fake shit.” Mercury replied, and I was upset.
“My earrings and rings are not fake. They are sterling silver, and that's what I like.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
“Fine….” he said, grunting and grabbing my hand, pulling me into Zales. He picked out so much jewelry for me that I didn't know what to do, necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, and anklets. He paid and told them to send everything to the house.
“Don't worry, by the time we get back home, everything will be put up and put away. You will like what they did to your room.” Mercury said, and I was a little confused. What did he mean? Who are the ‘they’ he is talking about?
“Alright…” I replied, not sure what else to say. The next store was the purse store, and this time, he let me pick out what I wanted, as long as some of them matched. He paid, saying the same thing, and we left to go to the make-up store and then the hair cuttery. I sat in the chair and let the woman do her magic, but I almost fell asleep in the chair by the time she was done. I looked in the mirror, and my hair was now down to my shoulders, I loved it. Next was my nails, feet, and eyebrows. After everything was done, I felt like a new woman.
“Alright, we have a few more things to get. Let's get you a jewelry stand and a new dresser. You're going to need it.” Mercury said, looking me up and down. I think he liked my new look too, but he wouldn't say anything. I nodded in response, learning that there was no point in saying no because it wasn't an option, so I just went with it, and by the time we were done, I was tired and hungry. We left the mall and headed back to the car.
“What do you want to eat?” Mercury asked, after hearing my stomach rumbling.
“How about Zaxby’s? They have awesome grilled chicken sandwiches and fried mushrooms.” I replied, and he nodded.
“Alright, let’s go. I'm starving, besides by the time we get back home your furniture will be put together and set up.” Mercury said, and I nodded as we headed to the restaurant. We ordered grilled chicken sandwiches and fried mushrooms, got our food, and sat down, eating in silence. On the ride home it was quiet, but we were both tired and so we listened to the radio, sung along to our favourite songs and when we got back home Mercury followed me up to my room.
“I wanted to see your face when you opened your door.” Mercury said, grabbing the door handle and opening my bedroom door, and I was so shocked my mouth fell open. There was a brand new bed with a headboard, two new dressers and all my clothes had been hung up and put away. My jewelry had been put on the jewelry stand, my make-up was on a desk, which had been put up nicely, and I now had a full body mirror by my closet. I had a new wallpaper that was a light purple with a hint of hot pink, and for the floor, I had a nice carpet that matched the walls. I turned and looked around, and on my bed was a couple of teddy bears with a new blanket, sheets, and pillows.
“Thank you, this means so much to me.” I said softly and turned to face Mercury. He smiled and took my hand, leading me to the bathroom.
“I wasn't sure what kind of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash you liked, so I got a little of everything. I also got perfumes, body sprays, and things you need for oder, brushes, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. I guess I went a little overboard, but I don't ever want you to think you have to go without just because you are here. I know it's rough on you, but you will get used to it. When you're ready to come downstairs, just come down, and we will have dinner.” Mercury said, and with that, he walked out of my room, shutting the door behind him.
Mercury’s P.O.V
I stood there looking at her door and I was pleased that she liked everything, seeing her happy made me happy and it made it all worthwhile.
“Man, will you go in there and tell her how you feel, at least try and kiss her.” My wolf Asher begged in my head and then let out a huff.
“You must want me to get slapped again or be kicked in the balls.” I replied, shaking my head, and Asher just laughed at me.
“Maybe so, but at least you would have told her.” Asher said, and I laughed.
“No thanks, I like where my balls are and not in my throat.” I replied, and Asher just laughed. I walked away from her door and headed downstairs to talk to Trevor and Spike. As soon as I walked into my office, everyone tensed up.
“So, what did her dad say about the money? Does he want his daughter back?” I asked, and Spike nervously looked at Trevor and Cord.
“Boss, her dad said and I quote ‘Keep that b***h, she wasn't even ours we adopted her when she was a baby from an orphanage. Do what you want with her, I don’t give a f**k’.” Spike said, making me and my wolf Asher growl. How dare he talk about her like that! Who the f**k does he think he is?
“Tomorrow night we’ll go back to his house. We will take care of him, I am done with his disrespect.” I said and all three nodded. That's one thing that all three of them knew and that was never to disrespect the boss and especially my Luna or there would be consequences. We drank a few beers, while planning for tomorrow night and then Trevor, Cord and Spike left, as I sat at the table still fuming.
