Lacy put the cover-ups in the changing room.
“What enthusiastic mates you have, Chasity?” Giggled Lacy. “I don’t envy you. I thought I had my hands full with two.”
“You have twin mates?” Asked Chasity curiously.
“Yeah,” said Lacy.
“They let you work here?” Asked Felix.
Good grief, Felix. Lacy laughed.
“They don’t like that I do but this is my mother’s store and I like helping out when she wants a day off so I spin it like that. I say ‘You want your mother-in-law to like you, don’t you?’” Countered Lacy.
Felix shook his head.
Don’t argue with the sales clerk about your chauvinism. Focus on the shopping! I grumbled.
You’re just the same as me! Admit it! You don’t want Chasity working either! He retorted.
I want her focused on school, I said defensively.
“These!” Said Calix triumphantly, handing over a monstrously large pile to Lacy.
“What the f**k, Calix?” Said Felix, raising his eyebrows.
I spotted a hot-dog patterned bikini in that pile as well as a sequin bikini and a pattern where cats and dogs were literally falling along with the rain but nestled in upside down umbrellas as they sailed downwards.
“Oh! Cute! The raining cats and dogs pattern is a big seller! Girls love it!” Said Lacy.
“It’s cute,” said Chasity, actually smiling.
Calix grinned. “And that one is technically a tankini so you can cover a bit more. I want you to feel comfortable,” said Calix.
“Awww,” cooed Lacy.
“Ugh,” groaned Felix.
I pinched Felix’s arm. He swatted me away.
“She should feel comfortable in bikinis. They look great on her!” Said Felix pointedly.
“I will get bikinis and tankinis and coverups,” announced Chasity, settling the dispute.
Chasity then bashfully modelled all of our picks. She must have tried on thirty suits and she looked so f**king gorgeous in every single one. I was partial to the itty bitty ones. My wolf roared in approval of those. She actually did pick a few of the skimpy swim suits along a few of the more modest suits. There were about a dozen suits that she really did like. She and Lacy started matching them with coverups. I was happy she was finally letting us spoil her a little more instead of trying to refuse everything we wanted to buy for her. She was back in the dress she had come in. I k**sed the top of her head and she looked up and gave me a chaste little k**s that left my l*ps tingling.
Calix
Chasity looked adorable in every single swimsuit especially the ones I had picked. I understood her style way better than my brothers, just saying. She liked cutesy prints and floral stuff. She also liked to be able to throw a jacket over something when her shyness got the better over her. I helped her pick beach clothes to cover her bikinis when she needed to. I often went shopping with Mom. I did not actually know a lot about fashion but I knew how to notice what girls liked. Mom, for instance, liked sleek looking clothes. She wore plain white, plain black. She wore those heels that were scarily thin like they would snap at any moment. She dressed like a retired supermodel that was mentoring girls on a show or something. Mom never dressed down and comfort was not important to her. Comfort was really important to Chasity, probably because she had been made to feel uncomfortable way too often. She had been our unofficial housekeeper so that would have been impossible to do in heels and a tight white dress or something like what Mom would wear. I wanted to help Chasity take her love for comfortable clothes and marry it with the fact that she was our Luna now. She needed to look the part. The Luna was the role model for all the girls in the pack. She needed to feel confident in her clothes and she would not feel that way if she found them too revealing.
“I need a cover-up for each bikini. I hope you guys don’t mind. I don’t want to overspend,” she said sheepishly.
“You don’t need cover-ups,” grumbled Felix. “That’s what towels and blankets are for. That and wiping you off. You’re gonna be all w*t…and sticky.”
“Felix!” Snapped Alex.
“What Felix means is that we would love to get you matching coverups for each suit but we know you’re gorgeous with or without them,” I explained.
“Baby, I’d buy you the whole store if you wanted it,” said Felix with a wink.
Chasity smiled. She looked extremely guilty when the salesclerk told us our total.
“Relax, Chasity,” I said soothingly.
I stroked her curls out of her face. Mom had designer purses that cost someone’s mortgage. I knew Chasity would never spend money to that extent but I did not want her to see shopping as stressful.
“It’s ok to treat yourself,” said Alex reassuringly, grasping her chin and tilting her face upwards to that their eyes met. “You literally had no swimsuits before today.”
“I had the one I came with,” she joked.
“Your muppet swimsuit?” I recalled.
“Yeah,” she giggled.
“I doubt that still fits,” said Felix.
Chasity frowned.
“Not like that!” Said Felix quickly. “I mean…because you were like nine when you would have worn that,” he explained.
“Yeah,” mumbled Chasity, but I knew she had taken that as an insult even though Felix had meant it practically.
“Hey,” I snarled playfully, bumping my nose against hers.
“What?” She whined, swatting me away.
I grabbed her and pulled her into a bear hug.
“You haven’t bought a swimsuit in a decade! It was this or skinny-dipping! Speak now or forever hold your peace!” I said, gesturing towards the pile of suits and coverups on the counter.
“Ok, ok,” said Chasity.
The cashier swiped Alex’s card and put the items in three shopping bags. We each held one.
“At least let me carry them?” Said Chasity.
“What kind of douchebag would I look like with my woman loaded up and me walking with my two arms free and swinging,” grumbled Felix.
Chasity folded her arms. She looked down as we left the store.
“Thanks guys,” she said. “I really appreciate it. I know I wasn’t that fun in the store. Thanks for being patient,” she said. “I really am grateful,” she said, looking up at us.
“You were plenty fun in the store,” said Felix with a wink.
“You’re welcome, Luna,” said Alex.
“Don’t sweat it, Chasity,” I said.
Chasity scrunched up her little face but she exhaled and then smiled.
“Come on, Bikini Babe Chasity!” Said Felix, steering her towards the food court.
Alex
I was anxious to get some food in Chasity. Her eating habits were quite poor because of her heavy workload in the past. She was accustomed to skipping meals so she did not get hungry at regular intervals or at least she did not notice her own hunger until she was ravenous. Then, she would eat a lot and feel a bit uncomfortably stuffed. It was a bad pattern and I was determined to break it by supervising her eating of three meals a day on weekends and two on weekdays cause I could not show up to lunch in Winter Moon High cafeteria like a lunatic and spy on my mate so I couldn’t count on the weekdays being three.
“Who do you eat lunch with at school?” I asked curiously as we sat at a booth in a restaurant in the mall.
Chasity was bet**en Felix and me while Calix was sitting opposite us. I did not want to ask if she ate lunch so I tried asking an indirect question. Chasity perked up immediately. She was actually really enjoying the lasagna in front of her.
“I eat with Mina and Tina,” she said, grinning.
“Sounds like a Pop group from the eighties,” said Felix.
“They’re the most popular girls in school,” said Chasity with some nascent pride.
