Livianaâs POV
I looked at my closet as I bit on my lower l*p.
What am I even supposed to wear?
The last time I was on a âdateâ wasnât even a date. It was rather a payment.
Now, Iâm actually going on a dateâ¦.with Luan.
Flashbackâ¦.
âYouâre forgiven, my loveâ Luan said and I smiled.
âIn one conditionâ he suddenly continued and I looked at him confused.
âWhat is it?â I asked nervously.
âGo on a date with meâ he said hopeful. I gulped.
âA date?â I repeated. He nodded.
âYes, a dateâ he confirmed.
My heart skipped a beat.
âOkayâ I said and he smiled before hugging me again.
Iâm screwed.
End of Flashbackâ¦
I g*****d as I put my forehead on my closet in frustration.
âLivi?â Theresa came in my room.
âHi, Theresa. Is anything wrong?â I asked her. She shook her head.
âNo but I heard you were going out on a date. I wanted to ask if you needed anythingâ she said and my brows furrowed.
âEl already told you, didnât he?â I said and she nodded with a chuckle.
âYou know how he isâ she just shrugged as I frowned.
âSo, do you need anything?â she asked.
I looked at Theresa hesitantly and nodded.
âI donât have anything decent to whereâ I said and she nodded.
âGood thing you have meâ she said and went out again then came in with a dress on her hand and a huge pink pouch.
âIâve been waiting for this momentâ she said with an excited squeal.
I looked at her baffled but she only chuckled.
âGo on and take a seat so I can glam you up for the special once in a lifetime occasion in your teenage lifeâ she told me and I did as I was told.
âThatâs a little bit over the top, donât you think?â I said chuckling and she shook her head.
âWith you? No, itâs not. Itâs absolutely rare and I must take advantage of it at all costsâ she said and we both laughed knowing it was a fact.
Iâve already showered and dried my hair so Theresa started curling my hair with the curling iron from her pink pouch.
âIt took your mate long enough to ask you on a formal dateâ Theresa stated as she curled my hair.
âWell, I never was the one who fancied those things now, was I?â I said.
âThatâs trueâ she chuckled.
âI know itâs a sensitive topic but have you guys talked about both your mating process yet?â she asked carefully.
âWeâve agreed long ago that I canâtâ¦we canât be mated as long as Iâm running the pack and heâs next in line. It will complicate things too much for the both of usâ I explained and she simply nodded not pushing the topic anymore.
âOh. Did you dye your hair?â Theresa suddenly asked and my brows furrowed confused.
âLookâ she said and showed me the silver strand of hair.
âOh that. Yeahâ I said trying to be casual about it. Although I know that I didnât really âdyeâ my hair.
âThatâs cute. Youâd look absolutely stunning with silver hairâ she said and I smiled as I remembered my mother.
If I dyed my hair silver, weâd look like twins.
âYou think so?â I asked her and she nodded.
âI know soâ she said and smiled at me as she finished curling my hair.
âNow, letâs proceed to the next stepâ Theresa stated as she took out makeup from her pink pouch.
âDo I need to wear makeup too?â I asked with a frown. Theresa nodded vigorously.
âOf course! Youâre absolutely beautiful, Liviana and all Iâm doing is bringing out the best in you with a little more colorâ she said and winked.
I sighed and nodded in agreement.
I let Theresa do her thing and didnât complain while she did my makeup.
I wasnât one to get all fixed up for anything. I preferred the natural plain look.
But I guess I can let this day be an exemption.
It was my first date with my mate after all.
After a while, Theresa stepped back as she stared at me and smiled in satisfaction.
âNow, time for the dressâ she said and took the dress that she brought.
She didnât want me to look at myself just yet because she wanted it to bean absolute surprise.
Theresa made me wear a white ruched puff sleeve button-loop midi dress then I wore my white sandals since I refused to wear anything with heels on a date.
In fact, I didnât think wearing a dress was a good idea either.
Who knows if the date Luan planned on was a hike or something?
I wouldnât know since he of course, refused to tell me when I asked so I can dress appropriately.
Finally, I finished and Theresa took a step back as she examined my whole look.
I saw her eyes water as she covered her mouth with her hand and looked at me in the eyes.
âDo I look that awful?â I asked and shw slightly chuckled then shook her head.
âYou look absolutely gorgeous, Livianaâ she said and hugged me then held me by my shoulder to turn me to look at the mirror.
My jaw almost dropped to the floor when I saw myself.
âWowâ was all I can say at my reflection.
âIâll take it that you liked the lookâ Theresa chuckled and I looked at her with a thankful smile and hugged her.
âThank youâ I whispered and she cupped my face as she looked at me.
âYouâre always welcome, Liviana. Alwaysâ she said as a tear fell from her eye but she quickly wiped it away.
I smiled.
âAlpha, Prince Luan is hereâ my guard mind linked me.
âOkay. Let him inâ I replied.
âYes, Alphaâ he replied and we cut the link.
âIs your mate already here?â Theresa asked and I nodded.
I took my purse with some of my necessities and then Theresa and I both got down together.
Everyoneâs head turned to us when we got down.
And by everyone, I mean my uncle, Dante, El, Edmond and Ellie.
Their mouths gaped open as they stared at me and I felt a little uncomfortable and anxious with their sudden reaction.
âLivi!â Ellie squealed as she ran to me and I caught her in my arms.
âYou look like a princess, Livi!â Ellie said excitedly and I gave her a k**s on the cheek.
âDo I?â I said and she giggled as she nodded.
Dante approached us as he gave me a smile.
âYou look beautiful, Livianaâ Dante complimented and planted a k**s on the top of my head.
âYouâre not going to ask me where Iâm off to?â I asked as I raised a brow at him.
âEl already told meâ he said with a shrug.
âNo, I didnât! You forced me to tell you! I only told my momâ El said defensively as I glared at him.
Dante chuckled and looked at me again.
âJust be careful. And I swear if Grey does anything out of line, Iâll beat him up into a pulpâ he warned and I chuckled.
Oh please.
Heâs always trying to threaten Luan but nothing so extreme ever happens because I either stop them on time or Luan just doesnât do anything that can get him into trouble with my uncle.
âGive her a break, Dante. Livi can decide what she wants to do on her first dateâ Edmond butt in and he looked at me.
âYou really look beautiful, Livi. We mean itâ he said and I smiled.
âThank youâ I said.
âLuan is definitely going to swoon over youâ El said and I chuckled.
I hope so.
Then, there was a knock on the door.
âIâll get itâ I said and gave Ellie to Theresa.
âEnjoy your date, Liviâ Theresa said and I smiled and nodded before waving all of them goodbye.
I opened the door and there stood Luan with his white button down shirt and khaki pants with his hair fixed neatly and a bouquet on his hand.
âH-hiâ he stuttered as he looked at me. I smiled and blushed.
Why the hell am I blushing already?
âHeyâ I managed to say and he gave me the flowers shyly.
âYou look breathtaking, Livianaâ he complimented and I flushed red.
Out of all the compliments today, Luanâs was my absolute favorite.
âThank you. You look really nice tooâ I said as our faces both turned into a shade of red.
I really hope this first date goes well.
