Here.” She hands me a folded square of paper. I unfold it and read.
*Ryann,
Since you will be attending my sister’s engagement party and will be assisting me with the matter we previously discussed, it is only right that I provide you with the appropriate attire for the occasion. As such, I hope that while you are shopping with Megan today you will choose a dress for yourself which I will pay for. (Megan has my credit card)
Bellamy
I am gaping at the note, totally confused. What the actual hell is this? Is Bellamy just super generous all of a sudden? Or maybe he is trying to bribe me to cooperate more or something. Either way, it is completely unacceptable. He might be my fate but that doesn’t mean I’m comfortable going around spending his money. Particularly since we aren’t actually together yet. I drop the note and turn to Megan, about to voice my objections when she hands me a phone. My phone which she apparently took from my bag while I was reading.
“I added my brother’s number. I figure you’re planning to call him now right?” she grins at me as I roll my eyes but nod. I flick through my contacts and find his name. I hit the call button and wait. It rings only a few times before he answers.
“Alpha Kane speaking.” he says formally.
“You can’t just buy me a dress.” I state firmly, not bothering to say who is calling or anything. It should be obvious, well unless he often offers to buy random women dresses which I suppose is technically possible. But it doesn’t seem likely.
“Good morning Ryann.” he responds, keeping his tone pleasant.
“You can’t just buy me a dress.” I repeat stubbornly.
“Of course I can, I gave Megan my credit card. What’s the problem?” I roll my eyes.

“I mean that I won’t accept it. There is no reason why you should pay for a dress for me so I
can’t accept it. It feels like you’re trying to bribe me or something.”
“Ryann.” He responds, his tome serious.
“I am not trying to bribe you into cooperating with me. You wouldn’t even need a dress if it weren’t for my sister and me so it is only right that I provide it for you. Benides that, I want
