Arranged.

I woke up still curled up into Tez's side, Lottie was also curled up into Tez's side as well. I couldn't help but to smile and carefully reach over to pet the small puppy. I looked up and saw Tez was awake. "I-I didn't wake you did I?" I stuttered.

"No, you didn't wake me up Ellie." He said, his voice was low and when the nickname he gave me came out it sent shivers all the way down my spine. "Are you cold?" Tez asked.

"What? N-No!" I said. "I mean––I just got a cold chill."

"No wonder," Tez mumbled hooking his finger though one of the holes in my jeans. "We better get you some more clothes. Some new ones. And I don't want to hear any "if, and's or but's". I'm buying you some, end of story."

Just when I was about to protest Tez got up and lifted me up out of bed bridal-style. I squeaked and wrapped my arms around his neck, hanging on for dear-life. He just chuckled and carried me out of his room and down the marble stairs to the entrance of the palace. "We'll need a ride to the mall, please," he said to the valet. The valet tipped his hat to the both of us and excused himself to find a driver willing to take us to the mall.

"Where are you going?" Nez asked coming out of the parlor.

"To the mall. Ellie needs some new clothes. Care to join us?" Tez said.

"What about school?"

"School can wait. It'll only take us about an hour, Nentel."

Nentel thought for a little bit, then nodded. "Alright."

The ride to the mall was short, I stayed nuzzled up against Tez's side as all three of us chatted about what kind of clothes I wanted, what stores we wanted to go to and of course we kept reminding each other that we had no longer than an hour and thirty minutes to complete our shopping so we could go to school.

After we went to Hot Topic, PacSun, Drop Dead Clothing Co., and other little stores Tez pulled me into a store that made me blush until I was as red as a tomato. It was an adult store. "Tez, what are we doing in here?" I asked trying not to look around.

"We still have thirty minutes to kill, and besides some of this stuff would look pretty hot on you." He winked, making me blush an even deeper red––if it was even humanly possible––and Nez smack his shoulder. Tez picked out an outfit off the rack and held it up to my chest.

"W-What's this for?" I asked seeing the outfit. He nodded to himself and put it over his arm and tucked a couple other things in his arm. One box I just happened to see had the word 'lube' on it. My eyes widened. "T-Tez?"

"We need something for the wedding night don't we?" Tez smiled deviously.

"Tezacacoatl!" Nez scolded. "Don't say that to him. You don't say that. It's not right. I mean how would you feel if you ripped from your family only to be told you're going to get married and have a dick shoved up your butt?"

Even though Nez was trying to defend my feelings, I couldn't help but to start laughing my head off and let Tez have his way and buy the things he wanted. But that didn't mean I'd let him use them on me. Wedding night or not. I am not dressing up as a kitty.

When I walked into the classroom everyone looked up, immediately looked down and avoided me like I had the plague. Except for one boy, Craig, who had the attention-span of a cat, which as some of you may or may not know, isn't that big. He was hyper and really funny, I didn't know why he didn't have any friends, until he told me he was gay.

"I'm sorry Craig," I said walking down the hall with him. "I'll be your friend."

We stopped at the end of the hall, next to the exit. Craig smiled real big and hugged me. "Thank you Elsie! I'll be your friend too."

"I'll decide that one." Tez said looking Craig up and down.

"Tez..." I mumbled. He held up one, long finger and got closer to Craig, looking at him with his eyelids narrowed. "Craig has been nice to me all day, Tez. You don't need to go all Sherlock Holmes."

Again, Tez held up one, long finger and continued to investigate Craig. "What are your intentions with my fiance?"

When he said 'my fiance' my heart started racing.

"I-I just want to be his friend, that's all." Craig stuttered.

"Hmm... I'll be watching you," he looked Craig up and down one more time before he spat his name like it burned his tongue. He then placed a kiss to my forehead and acted like none of that even happened while Craig and I just stood there in shock as Tez held me.
