Chapter 10

Bella POV

I woke up the next morning feeling very refreshed. Also Demetri was still there holding me planting kisses along my neck. Tilting my head to the side to give him better access he chuckled.

"You do realize your baring your neck to a vampire right." He ask me and I shrugged.

"What can I say? I like to live on the edge." I told him and he laughed.

"Come pet. You need to have breakfast and get ready before your shopping trip today." He told me and I nodded before reluctantly leaving the comfy bed and heading to get ready while Demetri went and got my breakfast. When he returned he sat with me on the balcony overlooking the city as I ate.

"You'll be following us around too right?" I ask and he nodded. Figures.

"Yep. No way am I leaving your care to anyone. Not even people I may trust." He said and I nodded.

"Plus Felix will be with me. He doesn't like Heidi leaving without him either." He said and I nodded. At least it wasn't just me that had a protective mate.

Soon a loud knock on the door had me jumping out of my skin and Demetri growled as he snatched open the door.

"Damn it. You scared the shit out of her with that fucking obnoxious ass knock." He hissed to Felix who was on the other side smirking at me. Idiot.

"Sorry peaches. Didn't mean to scare you." He told me and I rolled my eyes.

"The girls are ready." He told us and Demetri nodded.

"Come Tesoro." He told me holding out his hand. Taking it they led me to the entrance of the castle where Jane and Heidi were waiting.

"Have fun." Demetri told me kissing my cheek. Nodding I followed the girls outside.

"So where too Bella." Heidi ask and I shrugged.

"Not sure. I don't really know much about the shopping in this area." I told them and they nodded.

"Well just take you to some of our favorite places." Jane said and I nodded smiling. I may not have really cared for shopping before but I really just wanted this girl time to get to know Jane and Heidi and what better way than doing something they enjoyed.

"Oh Bella you should try this one." Heidi told me an hour later. We had made our way to a lingerie shop that had me blushing non freaking stop, especially since I knew Demetri and Felix were nearby somewhere and that made me even more embarrassed. When I saw what they were holding I about died.

"There's no way in hell I can pull something like that off." I told them and I knew I had turned permanently red. They were holding up something that looked to be made for a play boy model or some shit.

It was a hot red teddy with matching thong panties garters and socking. Hell no.

"Oh come one B. Don't be a pussy. You're going to want to seduce your man when you're ready, so why not give him something special. Besides I happen to know his favorite color is red." Heidi pointed out. Ugh damn her.

"Were not leaving until you try it on." Jane said putting her hands on her hips.

"Fine." I huffed snatching it away from Heidi and stomping to the dressing room. Mortified I slowly worked on trying it on. It took a minute to figure it out but when I finally had it all in place I had to admit it actually look pretty good on me and it would be nice to surprise Demetri on the night I was ready to be changed. I wanted to make sure he stayed interested in me even though he had said mates are for life I still couldn't believe he wanted me like that. But this outfit gave me some confidence.

"Alright I admit I like it so I'll get it." I told them through the door.

"Good, well grab you a whole stock of under things for you to have even after your change. You'll end up ripping most of them anyways while you're adjusting to your strength. Hurry up." Heidi said back and I rolled my eyes. Impatient vampires.

After we paid for everything we stopped at a few more stores getting everything from clothes, shoes to hand bags. More capes were ordered for me for once I was changed and we even got a few things at the jewelry store. The amount of money we were spending was crazy but the girls said it was normal for them to go shopping once a month and spend this amount of money so I didn't feel so bad. I wanted to fit in with them so I knew I'd have to adjust on my thinking when it came to money and shopping.

"We should stop so Bella can eat." Jane said after we left the Jewelry store. Nodding my stomach growled at the thought of food we headed to a small café across the street.

"You guys don't have to go in with me. Why don't you go to the next store you wanted to head to. I'll grab something to go and meet you there." I said. They thought for a moment and nodded. They took one look at the small over crowed café and realized it would probably be best they didn't temp themselves too much.

"We'll be just right down there. A Block away. Ok." Heidi said and I nodded before heading inside and waiting in line.

The line was freaking long as hell and I was glad we had all of our things sent to the castle after each store we left so we didn't have to carry anything. One good thing about this town was every store seemed to have delivery boys that could take your things anywhere you wanted when you spent so much money. That way you didn't have to carry anything. It was nice.

"Hey. Do you recommend anything good on the menu?" I heard someone ask. Turning there was a blonde man with green eyes, muscular build standing behind me. I hadn't even heard him standing there I was so lost in thought.

"Nope. My first time here. Sorry" I told him. He gave me a once over and smiled.

"That's ok. Mine too. I'm Jack by the way." He said grabbing my hand and kissing it. Pulling it back quickly I nodded.

"Bella." I replied and turned back around hoping he'd catch the hint but apparently I was wrong. Man I wish the girls had come in with me now. He kept making small talk the whole time we stood in line and I was starting to get annoyed. I mean how many one word answers do I have to give before he realizes I don't want to talk to him.

"Want to sit and eat together?" he ask after we got our food and was walking to the station to get condiments.

"No sorry. I'm meeting my boyfriend at the shop down the road. Sorry." I said before walking off quickly leaving him behind. Breathing a sigh of relief I started walking down the street slowly, window shopping as I went. I really wasn't paying attention and I wish I was because suddenly I felt a hand come around my mouth while another grabbed me and drug me into the darken alley away from the crowd on the street. Slamming me face first into the wall I heard the blonde man's voice in my ear.

"I don't like being ignored bitch." He hissed and I groaned. Fuck I was in trouble and he was a dead man once Demetri finds out about this. When his hand came around to grab my breast roughly I knew I'd love seeing my mate drain his perverted ass for daring to touch me like this. Asshole.
