7. Bras Are Overrated
Leah's Point of View
Bella is still blushing something awful when they reach the shopping mall. She and Emily have spent the last two hours informing Bella of anything and everything concerning the imprint bond, mating, sex, menstruation, pregnancy and by the time they've run out of things to say, the pipsqueak looks simultaneously amazed and horrified. Leah just hopes it's put her off sex for a while. None of them need a pair of teenaged parents in the pack on top of everything else.
"So what are we doing here?" Bella queries, gaze on the mall. She doesn't look pleased to be there.
Leah doesn't blame her - shopping stinks. She shares a glance with Emily though and turns back to her youngest pack sister.
"We're buying you bras, Bella. Don't know if you noticed, but you've popped at least a cup size since the imprint."
Bella, blushing red all over again, glances down at her chest as if to make sure what Leah has said is true. She pulls her top taught over her developing breasts, examines herself and releases the shirt again, sighing her defeat. She can't argue the obvious.
They make their way into the mall and towards Target where the ladies underwear section isn't hard to find. There are a group of teenaged boys ogling the bras on racks but it's easy to scare them away with her 'Bitch, I own you' glare that never fails to scare the pups into submission.
As expected, they scatter.
Later, they're in the change room and Bella's trying on different sized bras while Leah flicks through a magazine and while Emily waits.
"These are so uncomfortable," Bella sighs, exiting the change room with her arms crossed over her chest, "Why do I have to wear them?"
"The plight of women everywhere, pipsqueak," Leah answers blandly, "And you have to wear them because the world says so. No one wants to see your headlights on display - except Brady, of course. Now let's see the goods."
Bella huffs to herself, grumbles that bras are so overrated but drops her arms to show Leah. Leah nods her approval, sends her back into the change room and thanks God this round of bra shopping will soon be over. There will be more to come, certainly, but hopefully that's at least a few months away.
