Bring it on, Nasty!!

Chapter 21

A little trouble here ,

A little trouble there,

I ain't an angel ,

But a devil sure is fun to play !!

Ambrose

" See you guys soon " Reema waved us away as she gave Shiki a kiss and hopped into the car with Tess , Zuri and Alicia.

The girls were hitting all ' girly' places today . Spa , Saloon ,blah , blah , Blah !!

"Gearing up for the upcoming dance " As Tess put it .

She an Ali just had till sun down to hang out with the pack.

Tess , Because her mom was as usual reluctant to let her hang out with us though she is weirdly scared of her own daughter

Some Mother ,she is .....

Ali , Had the dead line because her Grandma as usual was overprotective of her .

Somebody should hand both the girls noble prize or something , It's beyond my understanding how they put up with that .

But they promised to be with us for costume shopping .

Until , Then it was us ' Guys time '

One we fully planned to take advantage of .

It started with Arcade games ( The girls would have called us childish but , Trust me , there is nothing childish when you are standing in front of the machine with your buddies )

It's a freakin war !!

" I win again " I say looking triumphantly at both my friends

" Whatever , Dude " Shiki shrugs but Brandon insists for a rematch

" You are a sour looser , Aren't you ? "

Which is as true as much as the fact is he lost to me Again .

Man ! I love these games !!

We head off to a movie theater to watch some action filled , Testosterone packed movie . All fights and bombs and good old guns , You name it.

Then we find ourselves hanging out at a sports bar .

Cheering our lungs out with the crowd each time the home team scores a goal and swearing with the same intensity each time they don't

Sports bars run on the 'C' language : Cheer or Cuss

There might be occasional fist bumps too.

I was immersed in the game onscreen when Shiki elbowed me in the side

" That girl there...." He said discreetly jerking his head in the direction " She has been checking you out ever since we walked in "

" I know " I say nonchalantly moving my eyes back on the game

" You do ? "

I nod

He gives me a confused look " Then why aren't you making any moves ? She is really hot "

Don't get it wrong, Shiki isn't the kind of guy who looks at other girls when he already has a mate .

When we wolves mate ,We mate for life.

Mating is a deep unbreakable bond of commitment , Love and respect for each other

Shiki pointed out that Fact about the girl's physical appearance for my advantage. In case I had missed that fact.

I didn't . There was no lying she was hot

And apparently she had a bold personality too , She didn't seem to be the kind to wait around till the guy approaches her .

She walked over to us with the kind of walk that only girls who know they are really Good looking have.

There was a smile on her face and a shine in her eyes

" You guys need something ? " She asks cheerfully as she twirls a lock of her hair around her finger .The way she made no attempts to hide that she was eyeing me made it clear her courtesies were limited only to me.

Shiki shot me a mischievous and encouraging wink.

Brandon had both of his thumbs up.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at both of them .

Looking at the girl . I though ' Why not ?'

She obviously was interested in me then what was wrong if I flirt with her.

And she was in this spots bar because she liked the game . We already do have the common base for starting our talk.

I unleashed my smile at her , The kind that always got me out of trouble and others into trouble

I hear her suck in a sharp breath

Wolf senses , Remember ?

She was totally charmed

" Hi " I began. But suddenly , my brain started pointing out that this girl doesn't have forest green eyes , Nor did her sharp straight nose has a cute pert and neither were her thin , lipstick red lips full or the the kind of soft looking that always drew my attention towards themselves more than the number of times I would be comfortable admitting .

I close my eyes against the unexpected onslaught but Maira's face flashes behind my eyes and just as quickly my eyes fly open .

" Yes..No...Err.. No..I mean no .. no thanks..We are fine " I stutter and stammer like and i***t speaking English for the first time

" Please leave " I say finally with a sigh

The girl frowns at me and then walks away indignantly with a huff

Shiki and Brandon both look at me with an identical , One eye brow raised look

"What the hell was that ?" She questions

Brabdon shakes his head " You are loosing your touch in the female department "

I say then nothing .

What could I say ?

Even I don't know what is happening to me .

We sit in the bar until the game ends and as if cue the cell phones start ringing.

The girls are back .

The costume hunting starts.

The girl's look positively giddy with excitement while there mates look pretty horrified.

I don't blame them.

The way the girl's inside the store are harassing their boyfriends (From yelling to emotional blackmail, Whatever works !) to make them wear the type of costumes that have the potential of featuring in nightmares. My male friends have everything to dread about.

" No ,Babe , please " Shiki looks at Reema pleadingly " I'm not dressing up like the blue people in Avatar movie "

" They are called Na'vi " Reema corrects him

" I don't care what they are called Babe ,Please . I don't want to look all blue ! "

After a Long decision ,reasonably sane costumes are finalised.

Brandon would dress up as Batman , Tess as cat women .Shiki ( Much to his relief ) Didn't have to be blue ,he was Dracula with cape and fangs and everything , Reema ,his victim in a plain while dress with the perfect shade of blood splattered all over it.

Brandon laughing feels the need to point out to Shiki that he is dressed as a blood sucking freak .

" At least , I don't have to wear my underwear outside " Shiki retorts immediately replacing Brandon's laughter with a scowl

However no one dares to say anything to Raze who is dressed up as Flintstones.

Yup ! Flintstones ! Who in that awful orange frock type thing with black spots all over it looks grave enough to pound anyone into the shop's floor with his bare fists if they so much as even smile at him. Murderous Flintstones !

After a little more of looking here and there my eyes land on the pirate costume on the statue,more importantly the female pirate costume draws my eyes towards itself .

It has those fluffy white sleeves that begins at a little lower level on the shoulders and a bright coloured skirt that has wild patters over it and an inverted v slit.

That's it !! This is the costume !

From the bandanna type thing on the head to the ankle length boots , It's bright and wild

And Man ! That skirt will show off her amazing legs.

' Princess be ready to be a pirate with me for a night ! '
