Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 88

We smile happily as we look at the complete set up.

"You think she'll like it?" We ask Adrian as he finishes with the lights. He walks over to us and looks at everything as well.

"She'll love it man. Now come on, you have to get ready." We nod our head and make our way home. We immediately head up to the shower and clean ourselves up. Once done we head to our closet and pick out something to wear. We decide on a black shirt with jeans and black converse shoes.

After we're done we head downstairs and see mom waiting for us. She starts to gush on about how we look before we send her up to fetch Izzy. We hear some chatting upstairs then we see Mom and Callie coming down. We take in a deep breath as we hear Izzy approaching.

As she turns the corner our mouth goes dry and we're awe struck in that moment. As she decends down the stairs we can't help but stare at her. She's so beautiful. Her hair is down, in a wavy sort of way and she's wearing a beautiful blue dress. We can't help the giant smile that crosses our face.

"You look amazing." We say as we hold our hand out for her. She takes it and blushes at the comment, giving us a small thank you. We suddenly see a flash and look over at mom.

"What? It's my Baby's first date. I need to capture the moment." We roll our eyes but ignore her and look down at Izzy.

"This is your first date?" We slightly blush and nod our head, highly embarrassed. She smiles and kiss our cheeck. We smile and lead her outside and walk down the pathway we made. As we walk we can't help but wonder if she likes this so far. We walk on the trail of flower petals towards the clearing.

As we approach our destination we hear her breath hitch as she sees the place. We look around as well examining the picnic we set up with the screen already on, with one movie set to play. We look down at her but can't make out what her response to this is.

"I-If you don't like it we could go somewhere else?" We suggest when she doesn't say anything. Though we're suddenly tackled to the ground and we feel a pair of lips on ours. We smile into the kiss, knowing that she likes it. She pulls back and smiles down at us.

Speaking of growing up it's Callie's birthday tomorrow. She's so excited to finally shift, hating that she always had to run in human form with the pack. It's not like she was the only one, she just didn't like it. She's also excited that she might meet her mate tonight. That's if he's here. Some people never find their mates, though that's very rare.

Mom and Dad decided to plan her party for tonight so when midnight hits it'll be her birthday. She was all for it.

So here we are, setting up for our baby sister's sixteenth birthday. Even though we weren't there for most of her life, we made her a promise that we'd make it up to her. That earned us a huge hug and a few tears. It warmed our heart to know that she wanted us as her brother.

We look over at the dance floor, seeing Adrian setting it up, along with Toby and Toby's mate. We've noticed that lately, Adrian's been really skittish and uncomfortable. We've tried to talk to him about it but he either changed the topic or told us to drop it. How can he expect us to drop it when he's our best friend? We want to help him, but he can't seem to understand that.
