Chapter 31 "Birthday mindtricks"
CPOV (Cammi's POV)
It was around eight o'clock in the morning when we went knocking at Nattie's house. All of us girls had gotten Natalie presents, balloons, and such since today is her 18th birthday.
Megan asked, "You don't think she'll get mad do you?"
"Why would she get mad? It's just us girls. Besides, today's her birthday!"
Steph talked, "I wouldn't be so sure Cammi. Remember the last time we went to pick her up back in Cali? She got grumpy."
We kept talking until we heard Nattie.
"For the love of god…somebody better be dying."
When she opened the door we all started singing happy birthday to her. "Happy birthday Natalie!"
She was shocked to see us, and then started laughing. "Oh my god…"
"Oh girl just shoosh and let us in. We got you presents and cupcakes!"
Natalie was still in her jammies, but we could care less. "You girls shouldn't have. I'm a mess right now."
Megan started laughing. "Girly pipe down, just go upstairs and get ready, cause after we're done with these cupcakes we're going to Seattle!"
"Seattle?"
"Well yea you dumdum, we're gonna make your birthday an all girls day. So go get yourself all nice and pretty."
After Vero practically kicked Natalie to her room, we started getting plates and such out of the cabinets, and we got the cupcakes out too.
When Nattie came back downstairs she was dressed in a pink and black corset top, blue skinny jeans, and black wedges from Journeys.
"Girl you look amazing! I wouldn't be surprised if Jake tries to rip your clothes off tonight."
She just started laughing, "That sounds like Jacob…a lot."
We all started whistling until she spoke again. "So what's today's plan?"
"Well it's your birthday, so you decide."
She grabbed a pink frosted cupcake. "Well…oh god this is delicious. Who made them?"
"We all made our own batch of cupcakes, that way no one would start fussing."
"This is so good. Oh, back to what I was gonna say, I could use the girl time. We could catch up on one another."
"Amen to that Natalie."
With that Nattie got her purse and car keys, we all got in her Escalade, and off to Seattle we went.
MPOV (Megan's POV)
When we got to Seattle, after Natalie driving like a maniac basically, we pulled up to Seattle International Mall. After walking in we saw all of our favorite stores; Prada, Gucci, Armani, Sephora, LV, and any other that you could possibly think about.
"Alright, where to birthday girl?"
"Definitely Sephora; I haven't been in there in so long. Come on, I can trick the girls to give us freebies."
Oh my god I love my girl right now. I mean, sure we all have money with us, but why spend it when we can get freebies?
We all walked into Sephora, and a snotty bitch of a woman came up to us.
"Good afternoon ladies. What would you like to see?"
Nattie just smiled at her, before closing her eyes only to open them to now silver ones. When the snotty worker saw them, she just started acting super nice. I don't know what Nattie did to the woman, but whatever it was it worked, because she started smiling at us.
"Come on back to our new exclusive lounge, and I will get you what you want."
Sheer brilliant! The woman took us back to the lounge, and I must say that it is swanky as hell! She got us glasses of champagne, and then left for a few.
"What did you do to the woman Nattie? She went from bitch to nice in a second."
Nattie took a sip of her champagne. "Oh you know…just had to tighten a few bolts in her brain."
When the lady came back she brought some of her other workers with her. Each of the girls had bags for each of us, filled with one of everything. You name it and it was in the bag; every line of skin care, perfume, makeup, brushes; pretty much everything that they had in stock.
The girls helping the woman were so confused, seeing us getting so much and not taking out cash.
One of them talked. "Um…how are you all going to pay for this?"
Turn around lady got harsh. "They are important clients Sandra. I'd watch your questions if I were you."
She turned to look at us. "Would you like us to help you ladies carry these to your car? Surely you don't want to walk around the mall with these bags all day long."
Nattie talked. "We'd appreciate it."
Right then they called in for some help, and a few minutes later some hunks of juicy men came in, all nice and built, but they don't measure to my Chaske. They took our bags and walked us out the store, where they followed us out to Nattie's Escalade.
After they loaded up the bags, we walked back into the mall before Nattie gave each a tip before heading off. When we walked up to Sephora, the woman's face changed. She kept looking around like she'd lost her damn mind.
We all started laughing.
"Nattie that was brilliant!"
She started walking up to Chanel. "Anyone up for more of the same…mind tricks?"
SPOV (Stephy's POV)
My god I love Nattie. I'd forgotten just how much fun she can be. We went from store to store, trying not to laugh whenever the workers would get hypnotized by Nattie's eyes. They'd all start the same, with a bitchy attitude, thinking that we're just broke girls, but Nattie fixed them all.
After just looking at her silver eyes, they'd get all nice and whatnot. They pampered us, like in every store. Ones brought us champagne, while other gave us Cristal.
We went to all the stores we loved back in California, and it was amazing!
We didn't just get freebies for us, but also for our men. We all got our guys the same from most of the stores; shirts, jeans, dress shirts and pants, shoes, accessories; you name it we got it for them.
"I can't remember the last time I had so much fun shopping."
"I know right sis? I mean, yeah it's free…but at least we got it all."
We were passing by Cartier when I spotted something that I loved for Seth.
"Oh look at that."
The girls all stopped around me, window shopping with me. I had my eyes on a silver, limited edition watch, with diamonds encrusted all around the edge. It didn't look feminine, because of the manly details. I just know that Seth will love it.
"I wanna get that for Seth. He treats me like a princess…but I never buy him anything."
Nattie piped in. "Why don't we all go in? I'd like to get Jake something too."
Emily got embarrassed. "I don't have the money to buy Sam anything. I'd rather stay out here if you all don't mind."
Leah was the same. "I'll stay out here with her."
"Oh no, it'll be my treat. If it makes you any better, you can pay me back however you want. It's my birthday, and I want to treat you all, especially you two girls. You're the first girlfriends I made when I moved here. So please…let me just do this one thing."
"I don't know Nattie…it just feels wrong, letting you get us these things."
"Oh come on Emily, if it makes you feel any better…I'll get you a cookie from Starbucks. It's not harmful what I'm doing. They're not going to go out of business because of what I'm doing."
After a few seconds Leah and Emily started smiling.
"Well…when you put it like that…I'm calling a watch when I see it. Not buts or ifs. Capiche?"
"Sure sure Leah. Now come on, because I think Steph is gonna go crazy if she doesn't get the watch for Seth."
We all walked into Cartier, where a nice pair of gentlemen greeted us. Nattie asked them, or better yet hypnotized them into closing down the store.
They treated us to more champagne and started bringing out the watches that we had liked for our men. All of our watches were wrapped carefully and placed into the Cartier bags. That was when I got an idea.
"Um…Nattie?"
She looked up from a set she was looking at. "What is it Stephy?"
What this right…or wrong? "You think…we could take some jewels with us?"
All the girls started discussing via our mindlink.
"I don't know…I mean what if we get caught by security or something?"
"That's not likely Leah. None of the store owners know what has hit them…if you all want I can do it. I don't mind…I find it kinda exciting."
"I say why the hell not? Next time we come we can pay for our things, so why not enjoy what Nattie is doing now?"
That settled it. Nattie hypnotized the owners to give us precious sets of jewelry; necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, and watches.
I have to say…I enjoyed Cartier.
EPOV (Emily's POV)
I know that it shouldn't bother me to be here with the rest of the girls, but seeing how Natalie plays with the store owners to give us freebies just didn't feel right.
We all walked into Carolina Herrera, and I fell in love with the store. That was when I saw the most beautiful dress ever. It was a simple white dress, but the neck was similar to a halter, encrusted jewels all around the neck.
"Oooo I love this dress."
The girls saw the dress and loved it as well. But then I saw the price tag.
"I can't take this."
Natalie came up to me and snatched it off the rack.
"It's your size. Go try it on."
"But I don't have the money Natalie."
"Just do it."
So I took the dress and went to try it on. When I turned to look in the mirror I was amazed. The dress hung to my every curve, bringing them out even more.
"Come on out Emily! I wanna see!"
In all my years that I've known my cousin Leah, this is the first time that I have heard her so excited about shopping.
I walked out of the changing room. All of the girls gasped.
"Oh my god Emily you look gorgeous!"
"Cousin you look smoking! Now the only problem is keeping Sam from ripping up the dress."
I sighed, thinking of how Sam would like the dress on me.
"Oh no Emily. You are not getting sad. Change and I'll get you the dress."
I went back and changed back to my old clothes. I brought the dress back out and Natalie snatched it off of me.
"I'm paying for this…and this too."
She took the dress that Leah had gotten. We started complaining, but Natalie refused to listen.
"Think of it like this, we're all family. What's mine is yours…I see you two as my sisters, just like I see the rest of the girls. Now please, let me get you two these dresses. I have too much money for just me and Jake. I want to share it with you girls too."
God why even bother? I loved my dress, as did Leah, so we didn't argue. Natalie bought the dresses for us, and handed us back our bags.
We walked out the boutique and into the hallways.
"Alright…I don't know about you all…but I think we better drop off THESE bags, then come back to do some real shopping."
We took our bags back to the Escalade, which was now full, but still had space. When we got back to the mall we started discussing stores.
"Which store now Nattie?"
"Hmm…Old Navy! I could use some jeans, plus they have everything half off. I wanna do regular shopping now. What do you all say?"
So off we were to Old Navy, where I can finally get stuff I can pay for.
LPOV (Leah's POV)
All of this time, spending time with the girls, has really been fun, which was something I thought I'd never say.
I have to say…Nattie's hypnotizing gift comes in handy. She got us all free stuff, but unlike my cousin Emily, I didn't find it a bad thing.
I mean, come on! How many times am I going to go shopping in Chanel or Gucci? Not often, so why not enjoy it?
We went to Old Navy, where they had just the clothes that I like; all lay back style. I got killer jeans, cute shirts, and even some stuff for Spencer.
From there we went to Sears, JC Penney, and Charlotte Russe. When we got there I knew that they'd wanna play dress up with me, since I like to lay low.
They started getting me these dress up corsets…which I must say are not that bad. We all got to the shoes department, and man I found the perfect heels! Pitch black heels, probably five inches tall, with platform and everything.
"Oh I like these…but they'll make me look like a giant."
Cammi said, "Honey you know how crazy men go when their girl has on killer shoes? Trust me…Spencer will love them."
So I took the heels, a couple pairs of corset tops, and some jewelry and paid for it all.
Up next, Victoria's Secret.
We all started looking at all their pretty bras and panties, deciding which to take. All that you head in the store was this, "oh how cute is this!"
God we are so girly girls. We all got a ton of undergarments, as well as perfumes from then. We all paid our stuff, and walked out to hear our stomachs grumbling.
NPOV (Natalie's POV)
When we got out of Victoria's Secret well all headed to the food court. We got either Taco Bell, Chinese, or McDonald's.
After we all sat down and started digging into our food, the girl chat started.
"So…why not start off with the birthday girl?"
Oh god why me? I started blushing when Veronica called out on me, and Cammi started laughing.
"Oh come on Nattie, you know the guys have seen it all because of the pack mind. So…how is it with Jake?"
I started daydreaming of just this morning…of us in the shower…I don't know how long I was like that until the girls started laughing.
"Just look at her, you know they have a good time."
"Oh fine…it's amazing…not to mention how many times."
Megz got interested. "Oooo…just how many times?"
I started laughing. "Too many…seven sometimes."
All the girls started, then Kim started talking.
"Oh thank god it's just not me…I thought Jared was a freak, but you got me out of that doubt Nattie."
Leah knew why that was. "Babe it's because our men are wolves…not that I mind, especially when they mark you."
All of us immediately went to where our marks where and when we all saw each other looking at them, we all started laughing.
"Who knew the guys were so much alike?"
From there we just started talking of what really drives us crazy, which pretty much comes down to the fact that the guys are a bunch of pigs when it comes to eating, but they make up for it in the bedroom.
Around six we all decided it was time to head back home. I had had one heck of a day with my girls. Wonder what the guys will think when we start unloading our…purchases' of the day.
Author's note:
Ok this came to me at the last minute, since I wanted all the wolf girls to get together and just have girl time. I have always dreamt of having mindpowers, so that way I can trick people, and if that includes getting free stuff, hey why the hell not? I'm game.
