The Bet (The Badboy's Claim Series #1) ✔️

TWENTY-ONE

"How should I dress?"

"Like a sexy little Kitten." He smiled and I nodded, feeling my face getting hotter. I guess that translated for formal. I walked inside my house as Jaxon drove away. I was going on a date with Jaxon.

"Oh my goodness!" I gasped and check the time on my phone to see it was only 2:34 PM. I had 6 hours to get ready. I rushed upstairs but, hearing my Mother's voice stops me in my tracks before I walked into my room. "Whoa. Hello to you too."

"Hey Mom!"

She raised her eyebrow. "Why are you so happy?"

"Happy?" I asked, genuinely confused about what she meant.

As if she realized something, she smirked. "Nevermind. Go do what you need to do."

"Okay?" I eyed her suspiciously as she walked back into her bedroom. She can be as mischievous as Audrey. Maybe even more. I shook it off, heading back to my room. I needed to take a shower, do my hair, do my makeup, and find an outfit!

I decided to take a quick shower, putting on my lotion before looking for an outfit. I didn't know what to wear. I wanted to call Audrey but, something told me she was busy right now. My closet was unorganized from the last time Jaxon had taken me out on a date. It was hard to find anything in this mess.

There was a knock at my door and I turned to see my Mom, poking her head in. "As I thought, you don't have an outfit to wear."

I frowned. "How'd you know I was going somewhere?"

"Oh please, you never ran into the house that excited and I saw Jaxon's car pull off." She smiled, walking towards my bed, settling a dress down on it before pointing at my chair. "It's time for me to get your all dolled up. Now sit."

"I can handle it-"

"Sit." I sighed, obeying her orders.

This was going to take a while...

After a while of my Mom cussing at me to stay still and many complaints from me, she was finished with straightening hair and doing my makeup to my face. I put on the backless nude dress that also dipped low in the front. The dress stopped right before my knees. It hugged my body perfectly and I was satisfied with my look. I had to hand it to my Mom, she was great with style.

I asked my Mom why she would give me a dress like this but, she simply smirked. I swear, I gotta keep my Mother and Audrey separated.

"What is Dad going to say when he sees me in this?" I asked as she passed me a set of nude heels.

She waved her hand in dismissal. "Don't worry about him. He's not going to do anything."

"Want a bet?" We both looked over at the door and saw my Dad glaring at the dress I was wearing. My Mom put her hand on her hip. "Marcus, let our daughter go out looking hot for once."

He blinked. "No."

My Mom raised an eyebrow and they seemed like they were communicating through their eyes. Dad seemed to have lost the argument because he sighed in defeat. "Fine. I'll allow it."

"Thank you, baby." My Mom kissed my Dad but, my Dad pulled her into another and I gagged making them both glare at me. "Don't be hating, Kimora."

I opened my mouth to retort but, the doorbell rung cutting me off. My Dad was the first one to go to the door and I rolled my eyes. He was too overprotective sometimes but, I guess I understand since I am the only daughter he has. I put on my heels and grabbed the black clutch my Mom also lent to me, shoving my phone and house keys inside.
