Chapter 84 Dress Shopping With Maeve
Lana
Dress shopping with Maeve is surprisingly fun.
Finished
Lana’s never really cared to go shopping much. Funds were always too tight to splurge on non essential items so she never worried about it. But Maeve encourages her to try on everything. They laugh about the hideous dresses that she tries on for fun, they gush over the dresses that actually look good. Lana walks out. of the dressing room, expecting this to be another flop, but then Mačve surprises her by exclaiming, “Oh my god, you look hot p>
“Really?” Lana tilts her head to the side, her brown hair swaying as she does and looks in the mirror. This dress clings to her body in a way that would normally make her feel self conscious
But the rich plum color accents her hair and her skin tone nicely. The material is soft like velvet and it just looks rich, decadent, and… yeah, like Maeve said, hot.
It had a sweetheart neckline which accented her breasts perfectly, it clung down her body, and had a high -slit that went to her upper thigh. Maeve grins at her and says, “This is it p>
“I think I have to agree with you,” Lana says with a halfhearted smile and Maeve squeals with excitement and says, “Next, jewelry or shoes. Which do you want to do first p>
She shrugs in response, “Either is fine with me p>
Maeve rolls her eyes and shoos her off to get changed. The moment she steps out of the dressing room, Maeve has taken the dress from her hands and rushes to go pay for it.
She could argue, but she knows Maeve and Kade well enough at this point that there was no point in it.
The dress is gorgeous and as she glances at her phone and sees the text from Kade: I can’t wait to see you in your dress.
She finds that she can’t wait for him to see her too.
Once the dress is bought, Maeve takes Lana to store after store. She decided that gold as definitely Lana’s color and that it will go with the dress perfectly and found every accessory possible.
By the time they get back to the apartment it’s late and Lana notices that Kade’s bedroom is closed. She’s surprised by the disappointment that floods through her chest as she goes to her room, ready to collapse on her bed.
She’s on the verge of crashing into a deep sleep when an uncomfortable warmth sits against her chest. She frowns softly, but keeps her eyes closed. This is the necklace that she had when her parents found her.
The same necklace that Kade didn’t like her wearing out of the house since they don’t know what the emblem meant.
She wore it anyway tonight, but the metal feels uncomfortably warm against her skin. She changes her position, not wanting to go through the effort of taking it off right now. Once it’s not against her skin, she quickly goes off into dreamland.

Finished
When Lana wakes up in the morning, she instantly notices the warmth of the necklace against her skin again. She frowns as she takes it off, putting it in a safe place in the drawer of her dresser and she starts to get ready for the day.
She forgot to plug in her phone, she releases a small groan as she plugs it up and moves around her room finding clothes. The moment her phone turns on it dings. She rushes over and sees a text from Adam: Any chance you could come by the bar so we can talk?
Guilt floods through her on the way she left that job. Adam vouched for her and she lasted a single day before moving onto something different.
The opportunity with Maeve was one she couldn’t pass up. She just hopes Adam understands. She doesn’t want to burn a bridge with him.
Plus… he’s nice and cute and… maybe once this whole contract ends with Kade, she and Adam could get a chance to get to know one another.
She walks towards the kitchen and hears, “Good morning p>
She looks towards Maeve who is sitting up on the couch, looking intensely at a laptop. Lana nods, “Morning, I didn’t realize you stayed the night p>
Maeve looks up, wide eyed as she asks, “Is that a problem p>
She shakes her head no, “Of course not, I mean, you do own the place. I just didn’t know. Would you like some coffee? I was going to make some before I have to head out p>
“Yeah, coffee would be great…” Maeve’s voice trails off as she gets focused on her laptop and then her phone. Whatever is going on must be really important to have her so distracted.
Maeve’s voice still sounds distant and distracted as she asks, “Where are you… he-headed today p>
“I’m meeting with Adam at the bar,” she responds casually. Much to Lana’s surprise, Maeve doesn’t comment on it. It almost seems like a blessing in disguise that Maeve is so preoccupied this morning.
Lana pours her mug and Maeve jumps up, quickly gathering her things as she says hurriedly, “I’m so sorry I have to run! I’ll send you some more info today about the assistant stuff so that you can start tomorrow. See ya Lana p>
With that, Maeve leaves the steaming mug behind and rushes out the door.
Lana nods to herself, going through the motions of cleaning up and wondering if her future will look like Maeve’s present. Maeve is such a known healer and has made such a difference in their world and Lana aspires to do the same thing.
With a heavy breath, Lana heads to the bar by herself. The walk is long, but the weather is decent and she doesn’t mind having the time to herself to be able to breathe and reflect on life.
Only, she can’t do that.
Something is… off.

She Turns to look behind her. She doesn’t see anyone, but she could swear someone is watching her.
No, it must just be being around Kade so much now has her paranoid to be alone. It’s a perfectly normal day. There’s tons of people around and it won’t take her long to meet up with Adam.
The bar sign is in her sight when suddenly, Caleb appears before her.
She jumps back, trying to stop before she can run into him. He looks her up and down and says, “Quit the bar p>
“Excuse me?” She asks, her eyebrows raised as she crosses her arms over her chest.
He rolls his eyes with exasperation, “You heard me. No mate of mine is going to degrade herself by wearing low cut shirts and serving beer at a bar p>
“Well, good thing I’m not a mate of yours. Now, if you’ll excuse me p>
Caleb grabs her arm, pulling her towards him as he says through gritted teeth, “You’re mine until I say you’re not. Now quit this job p>
“Do we have a problem here?” Adam’s voice calls out of nowhere.
“Mind your business,” Caleb calls back while Lana yells, “Yes p>
Adam rushes over and looks at Caleb with his eyebrows furrowed as he says, “You’re the guy we had to kick out. Dude why can’t you just leave her alone? This is getting creepy p>
Slowly, others are starting to notice them. This whole thing is turning into a spectacle.
Red creeps up Caleb’s neck and Lana says in a low voice, “Let go, Caleb. You’re causing a scene and I’m sure you wouldn’t want harassment to get back to your father p>
A flash of anger crosses his face, but he lets her arm go as he says, “This is not over p>
Caleb stalks off and Adam shakes his head in dismay and asks, “Are you okay, Lana p>
She nods her head and with a small smile says, “Yeah. Thanks for the rescue though p>
His huge smile makes her heart beat faster and Adam puts his arm around her and leads her inside.
