THE DATE

　　Sandra returns from her visit to Jessie and finds out that Lisa has already left the house. She is happy for that is a clear win for her. Even if the plan they had didn't work the way they had wanted it, at least, it made Lisa leave and that was a success for her.

　　Now she can start working on getting Camilla out of the house as well so that Jessie can know she isn't just all mouth. She knows exactly what she is doing.

　　She goes straight to her room and opens her wardrobe to pick out her camera. She will have to start stalking Camilla to be able to get the evidence she needs to send her out of the house.

　　She then moved to her laptop and connects it together. When she is done she closes her laptop and safely keeps it away.

　　She then proceeds to pick up the camera and goes out of the house. She walks around the house to Camilla's room and locates the window that faces the garden.

　　Sandra raises her long dress and mounts the window seal swiftly like a cat. She didn't even have to change to be able to do that. She attached the camera to the top of the window, making sure it is positioned at the right angle.

　　Satisfied that it won't fall off, she jumps down and scurries to her room before anyone will see her.

　　The camera is a perfect ploy.

　　She would be able to find out everything about Camilla, without having to threaten anybody.

　　Sandra returns to her room and connects the camera to her laptop. She opens about six tabs showing different angles of Camilla's windows.

　　Sandra smiled. Now there is no way Camilla will leave the estate that Sandra will not know about it. If she ever jumps off then, Sandra is going to see everything and get the proof she needs to throw her out of the house. By then, not even Ethan will be able to save her from the issue she will bring up for her.

　　"Now, the game is on," she whispers with a wicked smirk on her face. She has made her move, it is now time for Camilla to make hers.

　　***

　　"Camilla, I want you to dress up tonight, I am taking you somewhere special," Ethan is saying to her.

　　Camilla is excited about going out with Ethan but her mind is divided. She had planned to visit her father that night but now she can't go anymore. She will have to change her plans for some other day, despite the fact that she has really missed her dad.

　　If she turns down Ethan, what excuse can she give him? That she is tired? She had already said that the last time. This time if she uses the same tactic, he will not believe her again.

　　"... I am not taking no for an answer Camilla. Go get ready, I'll be waiting..." Ethan insists on seeing the confusion on her face. She is so readable yet so difficult to tell what exactly is going on in her head but Ethan loves her still. Her entire being is so loveable.

　　Camilla smiled at him. But she is having an eternal battle with herself. She needs to see her father and Lisa. Since she left the house a day before, they had a little misunderstanding and Lisa hasn't even tried to call her yet. So she will have to settle that little feud when she goes to see her father.

　　Her father's payment will expire the next week, so she still has time to steal something and go pay for her father's treatment in good time. She can accept this outing. Besides, she needs some time out.

　　"Okay, I'll go with you!" She whispers.

　　Ethan pulls her right hand to his face and places a kiss on it. "You have two hours to get ready. I'll leave you to it." With that, Ethan leaves her room and Camilla falls onto her bed.

　　The game she is playing will surely affect her. Ethan is starting to like her too much and she can't deny the fact that she likes him too.

　　Maybe Lisa is right. She is getting too attached and it isn't good for her mental health. She will have to let go or play it out till the end, she thought with a smile.

　　"I am sorry dad, you will just have to hold on a bit," she whispers into the silent room.

　　She soon falls asleep until Mary's voice wakes her up.

　　"Hey, sleeping beauty!" Mary calls her.

　　Camilla flutters her eyes open as she stares at Mary. She wonders why Mary is waking her up.

　　"What is it?" Camilla asks wiping the back of her hand across her face.

　　Mary slaps a hand to her face, in frustration.

　　"Camilla, you have a date with Sir Ethan and he asked me to tell you to come down and you are still sleeping!" Mary shouts getting Camilla to understand the importance of what she is doing.

　　Camilla suddenly flies to her feet as Mary's words settle into her.

　　"Oh my God!" She exclaims.

　　Camilla didn't think she will sleep for this long. She thought she will just close her eyes and wake up in twenty minutes maximum and get ready for the date. She didn't think she will sleep for three hours.

　　She runs to the bathroom but soon returns to start going through her wardrobe like a crazed person.

　　"Oh my God!" She repeats seeing as she doesn't have any presentable dress to put on.

　　"Ma'am, what are you doing here go take a shower!" Mary cries out, raising her brows at her.

　　Camilla is confused.

　　"I can't take a shower. The date is ruined!" Camilla cries out.

　　"What do you mean. Pick a dress and go take a shower, Camilla. You are wasting time!"

　　"But I don't have a dress yet... I need to find something to wear!" Camilla says.

　　"Just go in there and let me worry about what you have to wear! Okay?" Mary insists.

　　Camilla flaps her eyes around not knowing what to do and Mary has to physically send her into the bathroom.

　　Camilla turns on the shower and stays under it. she allows the water to wash over her as fast as possible. When she is done, she runs out of the shower, almost slipping and losing her precious teeth.

　　Camilla steps out of the shower and meets Mary, presenting her with one of her short black dresses. She doesn't really wear the dress. She didn't even know the reason why she brought it to Ethan's place.

　　"Mary, I can't wear that!" She screeches in horror.

　　"Why can't you wear it? You have nothing to wear in there aside from this very cute dress. Put it on, we don't have time. You have already wasted ten good minutes in the shower."

　　Camilla's eyes almost fall out as she hears the time she has spent in the shower. She snatches the dress from Mary's hands without complaint and quickly puts it on.

　　Mary helps her pull her hair up while she fights with the ends of her bra staying hidden within the dress. When she is done, she shrieks out in panic again.

　　"Mary!" Camilla screams and Mary almost drops the pins in her hands.

　　"Did we forget something?" Mary asks as she pins the side of her hair. She almost made her prick the pins into her hair in shock.

　　"Yes, I don't have any shoes. I only have snickers and-"

　　Camilla's mouth falls as she sees the shoes Mary points at her.

　　"I had to go get that from my drawer when you were in the shower. I have never seen you with female shoes."

　　Camilla is blushing a deep pink shade as she runs to caress the red shoes in her hands. They are the most beautiful shoes, she has ever seen. She has stolen a few pairs herself but this has another meaning to her. She loves it at first glance.

　　"This is so cute!" She says hugging it to her chest.

　　Mary laughs, gazing at Camilla's expression. "Put them on now, we don't have much time left!" She reminds her.

　　Camilla quickly puts on the shoes and picks up her phone. Mary hands her a lip gloss and she is just about to apply it when a knock comes on the door and she shrieks, dropping the lip gloss to the floor.

　　"He is here!" Camilla squeals in excitement.

　　"I know, " Mary clicks her tongue. Camilla is acting like a sixteen years old in love.

　　Mary bends over and picks up the lip gloss. She applies it to Camilla's lips and shoves her gently to the door before she gives another panicked scream.

　　She opens the door and Ethan is typing away on his phone. The cool air of the room makes him look up at the open door. As his eyes land on her, he smiles.

　　"Waoh!" He whispers. Camilla bites her lip, licking away the lip gloss she had suffered so much to apply.

　　"You look amazing," Ethan says, offering her his hand.

　　She takes his hand and they start walking together. She is so shy, that she can't bring herself to utter a single word. People always say, Redheads are really sharp mouthed people but her case is different. She isn't sharp mouthed at all. Well, she isn't totally mute. She speaks when she has to, in other circumstances.

　　But any situation that involved Ethan always had her quiet and shy.

　　Ethan squeezes her hands gently as they walk to the car as if trying to remind her that he is still with her.

　　"Is it the shoes?" He suddenly asks her.

　　"Huh?" She squeaks starting down at the shoes.

　　Doesn't he like her shoes?

　　She doesn't find anything wrong with the shoes, so she looks back up at him. There is a frown on his face as he glares at her feet.

　　"You are not talking to me, because of these shoes, isn't it?" He asks.

　　A blush spreads on her face as her mouth curves into a smile.

　　"It's not that..." She stutters. "I just, don't know what to say, " she says hiding her shyness with her smile. She looks down at the shoes again, not knowing where else to look.

　　Geez!

　　She has to woman up! She has handled firmer people before now. Ethan is just too much for her to handle.

　　Ethan smiles too and raises her head so she is gazing into his eyes. "I know. But I find it cute teasing you about your pretty shoes. " He fights the urge to kiss her as his wolf wants nothing but to pull closer to Camilla.

　　Fighting it, he turns away, holding her hands once again.

　　"So you don't hate my shoes?" She asks him.

　　He smiles as they walk further out of the house to his car.

　　"Nope. I don't. I just find it strange."

　　He unlocks his car and takes a step forward to open the door for her.

　　"Strange?" She repeats.

　　"Yup." He extends his hand and she takes it, propping herself into the seat.

　　Ethan then turns around to his side of the car, "I have just— I have not seen you in it. That's why I asked. But they are cute and they look very good on you..."
