The Wolf Who Saved Me

“What are we going to do here?” I asked while following Reule.

But he did not answer. I just followed him and thought that maybe he would go shopping for himself. But we stop in a shop that sells women’s shoes. We went inside, and I still followed him going around all the women’s shoes. Then, he stopped when he saw a black and nude stiletto.

“Try this on,” Reule instructed.

“What!?” I asked as I was surprised.

“I said try these on.”

I took both shoes and sat on the nearby couch. I removed my sneakers and tried the black one first.

“Hmm.. I was correct about my estimate on your size. Can you stand and walk?”

I did. And I looked in the mirror beside the shoe rack.

“It looks good on you. Try the other one.”

I did and again looked in the mirror. They were both beautiful.

“I liked this one more, but we will buy both.”

I was shocked and said, “You are going to buy me shoes? Is that why we are here?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

“My eyes are irritated looking at you wearing those torn and dirty sneakers. Come on, let’s check the sneakers, sandals, and slipper section.”

I was silent because I felt ashamed. Aside from my family, he was the first person to buy me things. And I can’t seem to understand why. Reule selected the other footwear. They were all beautiful on my feet. And when we reached the counter to pay for it, I pulled his hand when the cashier mentioned the bill.

“What?”

“It’s too much. Let’s return the rest,” I whispered.

“No!” He answered and paid for all of it. I pulled his hand when we were out of the shop.

“What is it again!?”

“Hmm.. thank you!” He looked at me and smiled.

“Your welcome! Now, let’s go to the clothing section.”

“You will buy me clothes, too?”

“Yes. Is there a problem with that?”

“But you have bought me some already.”

“Technically, it was Nana Lolita who bought it, and I don’t like them.”

I could not say anything but just followed him. He had chosen five pairs of jeans, two jackets, five skirts, five blouses, and ten dresses.

“This is a lot. You don’t have to buy all of these.”

“Shut up and try them on.”

I did, and they were all looking great, especially the dress. Reule like them because they emphasize my curves, I think. I am slim but proud to say that I have curves. If I was not used to running and doing pilates, I might be fat right now.

“Those are the clothes that you should be wearing.”

“But I am just inside the house. Why should I be wearing these? Will I be going out?”

“Maybe.”

“Ha? Where?”

“Stop asking questions, and let’s go to another section. The section that I have been waiting for.”

“Where?”

“Lingerie,” he said with a smile.

I suddenly felt disgusted and yelled, “Don’t even think about it!”

“What? I can’t even look at you to check if it fits you?”

“No!” “After buying all these, I can’t even peep?”

“No! You can take all of them back if you still insist.”

Reule laughed and said, “Jeez, I was just joking. Now, let’s go there. You still need some more of it.”

He told me to pick ten pairs and three-night dresses. I just checked the size and the design. I did not bother trying to fit them.

Reule looked and asked, “You are not going to try them on?”

“I know my size, so there is no need,” I reasoned because I don’t want him to get an idea of peeping while I am at the fitting room.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, let’s go to the cashier then.”

As we stepped out of the shop, we met Lila, who was about to go inside.

“Reule!” Lila exhilarated.

“Hello, Lila!” Reule responded with a smile.

“I did not expect to see you here, especially in this shop.”

“I was buying clothes.”

“For whom?”

Reule turned his head, looked at me, and said,” For her.”

Lila’s smile disappeared when she saw me. Then, she said, “Oh, I see. Are you leaving now?”

“Yes. I am hungry. I wanted to have lunch now.”

“Can you please wait for me? I just need to buy some bras,” she said and pulled Reule’s hand.

“Are you going to take a long time?”

“No. I will buy maybe four; then we can go.”

“Then, go ahead, and we will wait for you here outside.”

“Come with me, Reule, please! I wanted you to check if it fits me well. Maybe I would even buy some underwear, too.”

I didn’t want to hear them flirting with each other, so I said, “You can go with her, Reule. I will wait for you here.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go, Lila. You have to be fast. I am starving, and I still need to buy a phone after.”

“Sure!”

I sat on a bench that was just across the shop. And after 30 minutes of waiting, the two came out. Lila was holding Reule’s hand, happy. I wondered if they did buy something or they only had sex inside the fitting room. I can’t help but think that way because they seemed to be lusting with each other all the time. Reule removed Lila’s hand when he saw me outside, irritated. Lila was surprised by what he did, but he continued to walk towards me.

“Were we gone for too long?” Reule asked.

“No. It was fine,” I answered.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Come on, Reule. It was only for 30 minutes for sure she would not mind,” Lila said, annoyed.

“I don’t like to make people wait because I hate waiting, too.”

“No, it was okay. I don’t mind.”

“Alright! Let’s go and have some lunch. Are you coming, Lila?”

“Honestly, I already have lunch, and Chelsea is coming to meet me here.”

“So, why did you ask me to go with you and buy something when you are meeting someone?”

Reule’s tone surprised me. I did not expect him to be angry.

“Reule, I did not know that I would see you here. And, of course, I wanted to be with you.”

“I will have lunch now, Lila. I don’t want to be with you since you have eaten already. Let’s go, Wren!”

“Reule, can I tag along while I wait for Chelsea?”

“No! Wait for her here.”

Reule dragged me, and we left Lila looking like she wanted to kill me.
