A/N: I'm so, so, so sorry for not updating in so long! I have been so busy with exams and a death in the family that I just haven't had time to write anything. I finally had a chance to write a new (half) chapter, sorry it took so long and I'm sorry it's short but I wanted to get something up so it was this or a long chapter that would have taken forever. I hope you enjoy this chapter and can hopefully remember what was happening in the last chapter! Please Review!
Disclaimer: I do not own blood and chocolate, nor do I own any of the charectersA week went by and the phone kept ringing but she didn't speak, not even a word. She didn't need to speak though, I knew who it was, it was still definitely my mother. I had thought about asking my dad to get a new number on our phone but he would ask questions and I couldn't tell him the truth, I wouldn't do that to him. It didn't matter how many times I screamed into the phone telling her to stop calling, or how many times I didn't answer, or how many times I simply hung up, she kept calling.
It was a Saturday morning and the phone had rung once again. Ebony was there so I decided I had better answer before she did.
"Hello?" No answer; surprise, surprise.
I slammed the phone down and sat down at the kitchen bench in a huff.
"Who was it?" asked Ebony, looking at me slightly alarmed
"No one" I said flatly, trying to end the conversation before it actually began.
"Then why did you slam the phone down?" She asked
"Did I?" I did my best to look innocent and uninterested
Before she could say anything the door swung open and the five came crashing in, along with Calix. I growled slightly under my breath at Calix, I knew he noticed when he looked at me through his dark lashes and grinned. Oh how he annoyed me.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded.
"They invited me" he said, nodding towards what was left of the five who were now raiding the fridge.
I glared at him for a moment before striding up the stairs and into my room to get ready. Today we were going shopping for our prom clothes. I didn't have a date yet, a couple of meat boys had asked me but I hadn't been interested in any of them they what Ebony called jocks. I still didn't know who I wanted to go with if anyone. Ebony was going with Gregory, Flynn was taking a human girl with large…"assets", Ulf was going with a girl in our history class, and I had no idea who Willem or Calix were taking.
Half an hour later we were at the mall trying to decide what shop to go to first.
"Can't we just go into the first one we see and go home?" Gregory was already over our shopping spree.
"No we cannot! You have to come into every shop that Shay and I go into and tell us which dress's you like after we try them on." Ebony's statement got quite a few groans and choice words from the pups but they soon realised she meant business. "Let's try Valderes first."
We entered the fancy looking shop and started flicking through the expensive dresses. I didn't find a thing that I liked but that didn't stop Ebony from piling dresses into two fitting rooms for us to try on. The boys sat in waiting chairs while we tried on our dresses. Most of the dresses Ebony had chosen for me were tiny. I came out of the fitting room with the first dress on. It was blood red, low cut at the front and back, and short as it could get without completely exposing my bum.
"It's hot!" Ebony exclaimed emerging from her own fitting room.
I also received some rather unsavoury comments from the boys, whose eyes were almost popping out of their heads.
"I don't think I want to go to my formal looking like a black book hooker." I said, looking at myself in the mirror, "Besides, look how much it is! You know, for the amount of material in the dress you're really not getting your money's worth."
Ebony rolled her eyes at my comment and spun around, "Well what about mine?" Ebony asked
"It's…erm…interesting." I said trying to be diplomatic.
"That means its crap!" Ebony threw her arms up and walked back into her fitting room.
The rest of the dresses we tried on in that shop were much the same. They were too revealing, even for Ebony and mine standards and we were used to running around naked under the full moon. We made our way to Adorn, my favourite shop for dresses. I looked through the dresses, pulling out ones that I liked, while keeping an eye on the 5 at the same time. The 5 were getting restless already I could tell.
Finn and Gregory were slapping at each other, Calix was telling Ulf dirty jokes and William…was walking towards me
"Try this one" Willem said, holding up a black, slinky dress.
"Wow, it's amazing" I said, admiring the cuts and feel of the dress.
When I tried it on it looked beautiful. It had little straps that tied at the back, the back of the dress was extremely low cut but tastefully so, the front was a little revealing but still left room for imagination, the material hugged me in all the right places and fell loosely around my ankles. I came out of the dressing room to see what Ebony thought.
"You look stunning!" she said, twirling me around.
"You really do" said Calix, looking directly at the revealing parts of the dress. I was surprised to see Willem shoot him a dark look.
I shot back into the fitting rooms and got changed back into my normal clothes before buying the dress. Seven shops later Ebony had her dress and we both had our perfect pairs of shoes to match our dresses.
"Can we go home yet?" Ulf sounded like a whining child
We made our way to the car park and finally home.
The next day I was surprised to answer the door to Willem.
"Oh, uh, I didn't know you were coming over" I said, slightly confused
"I know. I just, uh, wanted to ask you something. Can I come in?" He seemed uneasy, fidgeting with the sleave of his jacket.
"Sure, come in" I said, wanting to at least cut the silence.
We went into the kitchen and looked at each other awkwardly. I kind of knew what was coming but I was still slightly lost for words when he asked.
"I was kind of wondering if maybe you might want to go to prom with me." Willem said it so fast it was hard to keep track of exactly what he was saying.
"Oh, well that's really sweet Willem" I looked at his hopeful face and completely melted "Of course I'll go with you" I blurted out. Shit, I thought. I had not meant to say yes, I had been planning on going with some hopeless meatboy so that I could avoid any "baggage" that would come with asking one of the pack. Instead, here I was, telling Willem that I would go to the dance with him. There was no way I was taking it back though, I wouldn't do that to someone, least of all Willem.
"Great, I'll pick you up 7?"
"Sure" I answered still slightly dazed.
Once Willem was gone I told Ebony exactly what had happened.
Ebony looked at me amused, "Well Calix won't be happy about that" She said after I had finished telling her.
"What is that supposed to mean? What has he got to do with anything?" Her response was nothing of what I had guessed it would be.
"I just mean he has had his eye on you, that's all" she tried to look innocent but I wasn't buying it for a second.
"He has not! You know I can't stand him, he's such an arrogant tosser."
"Sure"
"I'm serious!"
"So am I"
I walked off in a huff (something I was making a bit of a habit of lately) and went to my room.
My phone rang and I answered, ready to yell at the awaiting silence…only this time there was no silence, this time she spoke.
A/N Thanks for taking the time to read this, again I'm sorry it took so long. I'll try and get the next half of this chapter up soon.
