Chapter 321: 321. Measurements

Mauve eyes widened as she took in the sight in front of her. The vampire had her hand on her waist as she stood waiting and she looked like she had been waiting a while.

As Mauve opened the door, she shuffled on her feet but didn’t move forward. She stood with fabrics all around her, staring at the door as Mauve walked in.

"Yasmin," she called out, shock and confusion written all over her face. "What’s all these?"

She picked up her dress as she skipped forward, stopped a few feet away and looked down, staring at it close up just to be sure her eyes weren’t deceiving her.

"The Primus asked me to bring this to you and to take your measurements." Yasmin said with a soft expression.

"Jael," she brought her hand to her chest as she looked around. "Isn’t this a little too much?" There were more fabrics than she could count.

"He said if there is any you don’t like, I could take them away. Also I need you to pick your preferred fabrics so that I can start on that immediately."

"I should pick?" Mauve asked, still looking down.

With a horrified expression on her face, she looked up at Yasmin, "There is no way I can possibly pick. They all look so good. He didn’t even hint at it, I know he said he was going to get me dressed but this is a little too much."

"Well, if you won’t pick, does that mean I can start with any one?"

Mauve blinked, she wasn’t going to get any help from the vampire, she looked like she just wanted to do her job and be out of here.

"Where is Mill?" Mauve asked, turning around to look at the door even though no one was coming.

"I don’t know."

"Can I go get her?" She needed someone who would share her excitement. Did she know about this?

"She should be here soon, she set this up so I am sure she is on her way." Yasmin responded.

"Can we wait for her before I decide?"

"Anything you want but since you want to wait, I would take your measurements while we wait."

"Yes, that’s fine." Mauve responded, nodding her head.

"Come closer," Yasmin ordered.

Mauve nodded and took a couple steps closer, going over the fabrics and stopping by the bedside. She looked at them.

There were different colors, a few had similar colors but they were either lighter or darker shades.

There were a couple with flowery patterns and she thought she liked them the most. She was still overwhelmed and found what she was looking at a bit unbelievable.

No one has ever done anything like this for her. It was too extravagant. There were too many and they were all high quality fabrics. She was certain they must have cost a ton.

She barely went anywhere, there was no need to get her these many fabrics. She blinked as her eyes watered a little. This was about to be made just for her.

"Lift your hands," Yasmin said, pulling her from her thoughts.

"Oh yes," she said and lifted her head so she could stand properly and Yasmin could take her proper measurements.

Mauve closed her eyes briefly, feeling Yasmin run the tape all around her body. She looked at the vampire’s face and it was all scrunched up as she concentrated on what she was doing.

"All done," she said and pulled away.

"Thank you," Mauve said with a small smile.

"You can bring your hands down."

"Oh yeah, of course," she replied, laughing awkwardly. She bent one of her elbows and rubbed on it with her other hand.

"Do you think you could pick, even if it is just one?" Yasmin asked.

"I-I..." Mauve paused as she stared at the fabrics. Dread slowly filled her, there was no way she could pick.

Suddenly her eyes rested on a pretty fabric. It was a livid color and for some reason it called to her. "That one," she pointed at it without hesitation.

"This?" Yasmin asked, picking it up.

"Yes," Mauve said.

"It’s a good choice, the color would also enhance your appearance. It would really look good on you." Yasmin said while staring at the cloth and then back and Mauve.

Mauve mouth fell open at Yasmin compliments, she didn’t expect the vampire to say anything good about her choice.

Yasmin, however, looked oblivious to her reaction. "Do you want to pick one more? All these are going to be turned into dresses anyway but at least this way, I know what I will work on first."

"Any of the flowery materials, I like how they look."

"Okay," Yasmin. "I guess my work is done here. Someone should be here to take the rest of the fabrics," she said.

She picked one of the fabrics with flower patterns. It looked more like she picked the one closest to her than making a choice.

"I will start on these two, let me know if you change your mind or decide on the next fabric."

"Of course, thank you so much." Mauve almost squealed, her excitement seeping out her skin.

Yasmin walked to the door without looking back and just before she could reach the door, it opened in her face.

"Miss Mill," she said, bowing her head immediately.

"Yasmin," Mill frowned. "You’re leaving already."

She nodded, "I took her measurements and she picked out two materials. I will start on this right away."

"That’s good, you may leave."

"Thank you so much," Yasmin hurriedly said and walked out the door. Mauve thought she acted like a different person in Mill’s presence.

"Mauve," Mill said as she walked further into the room. "What do you think?"

"Mill!" She squealed. "Did you know about this?"

"Why didn’t you tell me or give me a hint? This is too much. I couldn’t possibly wear all these."

"I am sure we will find a way. Besides, there was no way I could ruin the Primus’ surprise."
