Mates with two friends

It was 2 pm in Los Angeles and the sun was shining brightly all over the city.

At one of the best coffee shops in Los Angeles, there was a group of friends who came out to enjoy the beautiful view and taste of the coffee found at that coffee shop.

Meet Patricia, a 19th-year-old young lady with black fat eyes, brown curly hair, and with an average height of 6.3. And the owner of Patricia's fashion house.

Sonia is a 19th-year-old young lady with blue eyes like that of the ocean flow, black straight hair, and with an average height of 6.6. Owner of Cakes and Pastries by Sonia

And the last friend Camile, just like her name, is a very pretty lady with unique eye color and she is the youngest and the richest among the friends. She will be turning 18th soon, with Green eyes like that of the tropical rainforest, and with an average height of 6.5. And who will soon be working in her family company.

The most common thing about these three friends is that they both have good body shape which every guy goes gaga over just to have a long of it and lucky enough they are not in the entertainment industry because if they were in the entertainment industry they would have made other actresses feel uncomfortable with their body shape.

Camile next week, you will be turning 18th and a few days later there will be a party for us to find our mates. You know I am so happy about this year's mating party because I have a fate that I will find my mate this year Sonia said.

I will be praying for you to be successful in finding your mate this year sweetheart and he should be as lovely and caring as my mate Collins. Patricia said. Patricia, Camile, and Sonia have been childhood friends even though they are not of the same age, Patricia and Sonia both turned 18th last year and during the mating party, Patricia was successful in finding her mate while Sonia wasn't successful.

Girls, there was this handsome guy I met on my way out of the supermarket last week and truth be told that guy is smoothly handsome, and from the look of things he is wealthy too. Do you girls know that ever since I met that guy last week I have been having dreams about him being on my bed and that is making me pray for the gods to give him to me as my mate, so my dream will come true in the end. Camille said.

You and you're naughty though! Patricia said.

What can I do? If I can't do it in real life at least let me do it in my dreams. Camile said

Don't worry, there are just a few more days left and you will find your mate and naughty dreams of yours will come to the best. Patrica add

I pray my mate should be the same guy I met at the shop and truth be told if indeed my mate turns out to be him I will be very happy and I won't let him live no matter the reason. Because he will be mine alone and I won't share him with anyone.

You are already planning about not sharing him. What if he turns out not to be your mate?

That is why I said, I wish he will be my mate.

I am 19th already and if I don't find any mate this year then I will need to wait again for the next mating party according to my parents if I turn 20 without a mate I will end up single because no one will accept me again. If I were you Camile I would be very happy if I found my mate. No matter if he is the guy I met in the supermarket or not. Unlike me who could not find her mate at her 18th mating party.

Sonia said trying to change the topic because she knows if she doesn't change the topic Camile won't let it go.

You worry too much Sonia, I have told you to believe in yourself because I know this mating ball this time around is for you. Do you remember this song they taught us in school it goes like this;

"Many are called but few are chosen"

Yes, I do.

Then just have it in mind that you are among the few ladies who will be blessed with a mate this mating ball.

I hope and pray for that to be true and I can't wait for that day to come fast. Thank you girls so much I don't know what I would have done without you girls. Sonia said

You would have been in the desert. Camile jokes

You know there is no need for you to thank us because there is no THANK YOU in FRIENDSHIP. Patricia said

My mom and dad are planning to organize a party and according to them, I might be able to find my mate on that day itself so there will be no need for me to attend the mating party.

Wow, that is a great move and I must say your parents are very smart. Sonia said

So are we invited? Patricia asked

Of course, you both are invited and you both know you are always invited even without an invitation card.

Alright, girl, and don't worry we are going to rock and make sure the party goes smoothly we will also be praying for your parents' wish for you to find a mate to come to pass and one more thing don't forget to introduce him to us when you finally find him.

Thanks, girls.

No troubles. What are friends for?

It seems like we will need to sign a contract on the fact that if anyone among us says Thank you again the person must buy us something. What do you girls think? Patricia asked

I think that is a good idea but not now let's just say we are going to give a warning duration and if after that there is another thank you then we go for the agreement. Camile said

And I support Camille's idea with my full chest.

Okay, then and our duration will be after 5 times the mistake.

Good decision.

Patricia, how is the business going so far?

The business is going perfectly okay and yes before I forget please I need a storekeeper who can take care of my shop when I am not around because my mate just asked me to join him at his office.

Wow, it seems like Collins does not want you to be out of his side even for a moment. Sonia said

No, it is not like he wants us to grow our business together so our future children won't suffer in the future just like he did.

That is a good idea but I must say you are one lucky girl Patricia and I wish and hope you both stay together forever. Sonia said

Amen ooh and you know what that has been my prayer for a long time and now that you mention it I know it will come to pass.

Camile and I will help you find the storekeeper. Sonia said

As for me, my parents said I will work at our family Company after my birthday party and even if I find my mate I will still be working there.

That's good news Camile but don't you think you should start up something for yourself? Sonia asked

Well, I would have loved to but my parents told me not to start any business and rather work in the family business.

You are indeed lucky Camile as for me I need to take care of my family since my stepdad doesn't do anything to assist the family, and I am happy my baking business is doing perfectly well this time. Since I keep getting orders for Cakes and other pastries like meat pies. And the income is what I use to take care of my family.

You don't need to worry yourself because that business of yours is going to be a big shot soon. Patricia said

Thank God you brought up the topic of your business. I almost forgot the main reason why I asked us to come to this coffee shop.

Since it is my birthday, my mommy asks me to choose anyone who I want to bake me a birthday Cake and I told her about you and she asked to see you tomorrow so we can discuss the design of the cake and the amount of money to be paid for it.

Wow! That's good news, I promise to be at your place tomorrow morning with my cake design so you can choose from there.

Alright. We will be waiting for you.

Outside a large company which is popularly known as Oman Company was a luxurious vehicle which was owned by the CEO of Oman group of company a young man of about 23 years who was known as the G.O.A.T of the company. He is a handsome young man with gray eyes, black hair, and an average height of 6.8. Being a young guy he is already the owner of a large Company. Apart from being the owner of a big company, there is no other information about him such as his family, and marital status and that keeps many people and media platforms wondering who he is and which clan he is from. And it makes many ladies in Los Angeles go crazy over him but his cool and unfriendly appearance keeps them away from him.

His bodyguard stepped out of the car and opened the door for him to step out of the car. After he step out, he walked to the entrance of the company and the security guard helped him open the company door he walk inside the company and that alone brought a lot of eyes on him both from the female employees and the male employees but he didn't care as he continues walking to his private elevator and it was open he walks inside and pressed the third floor.

Getting to his office he was greeted by his secretary and he told her to call Michael to his office and he walked inside his office.

The moment he steps inside his office the secretary makes a call to Michael telling him his presence is needed at the boss's office.

The moment the call came to an end, Michael stopped everything he was doing and rushed to his boss's office.

How did the meeting with the foreign investors go? Michael asked the moment he step inside his boss's office

If not that you are my best friend I would have fired you at this moment. Haven't I been telling you to always knock on my office door and until you come in before you come in rather than just coming inside my office without knocking?

Sorry dude! I forgot. So tell me, how did the meeting go?

We got the contract.

I know we got the contract because no one doesn't want to work with the Oman company. And before I forget your Mom called me yesterday and today too. Michael said

And what did she say?

She and your siblings miss you so much and she would love it if you can visit them. Michael said

When she calls next time, just tell her I am busy at the moment and I will get back to her later.

Dude, why don't you try speaking to your mother or your siblings? It's been years and they all love and miss you.

It seems like you are tired of working in this Company you know I always have to fire letters with me anytime so I can just give you yours right now.

There is no need for that. I was just trying to help. And if you sack me right now my dad will just kill me by telling me I am a very foolish Beta for you and might send my younger brother.

Michael has been friends with his boss ever since they were children and unlike his friend, he found his mate when he turned 20 and he marked and slept with his mate when he was 21 years old and he had to live with his mate and follow his friend since he was also his Beta at their pack and he needs to keep his Alpha protected.

I just feel sorry for the girl that will be his mate because he has a heart of steel. How are we going to know the girl when he never attends the mating party? Michael said to himself and just nodded his head in pity for his friend.

Apart from that, any other news or information?

Yes, in about 3 weeks they will be organizing another mating party and this time around all the Alphas are invited because there will be a meeting concerning their various packs. Michael said

Why did they put the meeting on the same day as the mating party and the same venue too?

For that, I don't know, I even asked my dad but he didn't say anything and just said it was agreed by all the other Alphas for the meeting to be held at that venue and on the same date. Michael answered

Is that all?

I just received an email before you called me from A.J Wine Company inviting you to their daughter's 18th birthday party which is in 2 weeks.

Any more information?

No, that's all for now.

We will attend the birthday party because that will be a great opportunity for me to discuss with Mr. AJ my investment in his Wine Business.

Don't tell me you want to venture into wine companies too. Michael asked

Of course that will be more money inside my bank account.

You and money. "One of you will die, live ei friend". Michael said and nodded his head.

You can now go back to your work and should in case of any updates let me know.

Michael got up from his seat and walked to the door and he was about to open the door when he was stopped by his friend.

And before I forget I want to make you know when it comes to me and Money na money go die live me.

After hearing what his friend just told him he just nodded his head and walked out of his office.

It was 6 in the morning when Sonia got up from bed and went outside her room only to be greeted by the side of her mother crying. Rushing to her mother and she asked,

Mom, why are you crying this early in the morning?

Your dad slapped and sent me out of the room because he asked me to help him with some cash and I told him I don't have it. Sonia mother said

Alright, Mom, there is no need for you to cry. Just give me a minute and I will be back. Sonia said and left the sitting room back to her room and after some time she came out and walked to her mother.

Mom, this is 20,000 please keep it and you can give Dad some money when next he asks for it.

No dear you keep the money. I know you need the money more than I do so keep it. Sonia's mother said.

Mom, you don't need to bother yourself. I have some money in my account. Sonia said to her mother.

Thanks so much, dear, and I know it is not easy for you to be taking care of all the family problems. I feel sick and frustrated since I can't help you out with some of the household expenditure and the same goes for your stepfather who keeps doing nothing but adding to your burden. I feel like a bad mother to you ever since we were sent out of the pack after the death of your father and we moved here and I later married your stepfather. You have been the person who took good care of us and your siblings. That is why I keep praying every day for the gods to bless you with a good, kind and wealthy mate who will love you no matter your shot coming.

Mom, you are not a bad person. You are the best mom anyone can pray to have. Thanks so much, Mom for being my mom. There is no need for you to thank me. I was only doing my responsibility and that is for me to take care of you and my siblings no matter the situation. It is not a burden Mom.

Before I forget Mom I will be going to Camile's house today mom. Sonia

Why is that dear?

Camile's mom hired me to bake Camile's birthday cake, so I am going to their house so they can tell me the type of cake design they need.

Wow, that's good news. Am happy for you because I am positive that when they taste the cake they will start patronizing you.

Yes, Mom, that is why I am very happy. Sonia said

That Camile girl is a good friend and she knows how to help her friends out.

Yes Mom she is a kind girl and she doesn't look down on poor or average people. Mom let me go get ready now.

Alright dear, and I will just make breakfast while you go get change. Sonia mother said

After about 30 minutes Sonia came out of her room wearing a peach blouse, Jean trousers, and black leader slippers

Dear come sit down for breakfast. Alright, Mom. Sonia said and walked to the dining table so she could have her breakfast.

After finishing her breakfast Sonia got up from her seat and hugged her mother and then walked out of the house.

She took a taxi to Camile's house and after about 45 minutes she got to the gate of Camile's house. When the gateman saw that she was the person at the gate he opened the gate for her to enter inside and one of the bodyguards at the mansion took her inside the mansion.

The moment they got inside the mansion Sonia was greeted with Camile's voice.

Good morning Sonia!

Good morning Camile, how are you doing?

Good and you?

Great.

Are you way too early?

Well, when it comes to business I need to be early so the client wouldn't wait for long.

Ohh yeah, Mrs businesswoman. Camile said jokingly. By the way, we are about to have breakfast. You join us.

Thanks, Camile but I will pass on this one. I ate before coming here. Alright if that is what you want then let me go call my mother I will be right back. Camile said and left the sitting room

While Sonia sat down on one of the couches in the living room waiting for them.

A few minutes later there was the sound of heels on the floor. Sonia, are you here? Camile's mother said and Sonia stood up from her seat and greeted her.

Good morning aunty

Good morning dear and how are you doing?

I am doing great Aunty and you?

Better dear and how are your parents and siblings?

They are all doing great Aunty.

We will be having breakfast soon. Why don't you join us? Camile, why didn't you invite your friend for breakfast?

Mom I did but she refused to join us saying she had eaten already. Yes, Aunt, I had my breakfast at home before coming over to your place.

Alright dear, do you have the photos of the type of cake you can bake? Camile mom asked

Yes, Aunt I do and if you want to see it now I can then show you.

Then let's take a look at the design before we go eat. Camile came to join us. Let's look for the type of birthday cake you need. Camile's mom said and they all sat down on the large couch while Sonia took out the magazines with all the cake types and designed and handed them to the mother and daughter so they could choose what they wanted and the type of cake they needed.

After a long period of looking at the photos Camile and her mother, both concluded the type of cake they need.

Camile, we love this cake and its design but you will just need to change the color of the cake to peach and blue. Since the cake is a four-step cake you will need to use blue cream for the design and where these white lines are you are to use peach color. And then after that, you are to put my daughter's photo beside the cake and then with 18th little candles.

Alright, Aunty. Am I to add anything to the cake?

Yes please add happy birthday Camile on top of the cake. Camille said

0kay.

So how much will it cost to get the cake? Camille mom asked

Aunty based on the design of the Cake and the type of Cake since all that matters is the quality of the cake. The total cost is 300,000.

Alright dear just give me your account number let me send you the money so you can start working on the cake immediately

After giving her account details to Camille's mother within no second the money was sent to her account number. Checking her phone to see the amount which was sent to her made her completely shocked.

Aunt's total amount needed for the cake is 300,000 and not 500,000 for Aunty.

Is alright dear, I send that amount of money as my way of supporting your business and I know the money will help you a great deal so accept it.

Thanks so much, Aunty. I do appreciate it.

It is nothing dear. You and my daughter have been friends for a while now and I also see you as my daughter so let's just say I am doing my motherly duties.

Thanks so much, Aunty and I promise you won't regret hiring me to bake Camille Cake.

There is no need for you to be formal with me dear. By the way dear I will love it if you bake the cake at my house so it will be easy for you to transport the cake and when you are done you will just change your clothes here also.

Alright, Aunty that won't be a problem.

Madam, the breakfast is set on the dining table. The chef said

Alright, Mr. Samuel, we will be there soon. Also, please help call for my husband to come downstairs for breakfast.

Yes, madam.

Alright, Aunty let me live so you guys can have your breakfast.

Are you sure you don't want to join us for breakfast?

No aunt is perfectly fine. I will live now

Okay dear and please send my regards to your parents, especially your mother.

Yes Aunt I will inform her.

Alright Camile I will be going ahead

Okay. If you need my help in anything please do let me know.

I will. Sonia said and left the mansion.

Thank you for coming early. Camile's mother said the moment she saw Sonia.

Yes aunt I came early so I can check if everything about the cake is Okay and also assist with some of the work.

Thanks but you don't need to worry about that because the decoration team will be here any moment from now and talking about them am sure they are the ones outside. Camile's mother said excuse me, let me go welcome them and by the way, Camile and Patricia are upstairs.

Sonia walked to the kitchen to check if the cake was okay. When she got to the kitchen she was greeted by the presence of so many chefs from different parts of the country. She greeted them and went to the large fridge where she kept the cake and just as she had guessed the cake was beautifully placed inside the fridge and the light inside the fridge made it shine brightly. She closed the fridge and went out of the kitchen so she wouldn't be disturbed doing cooking and she walked upstairs to Camile and when she got beside Camille's room she overheard Her and Patricia arguing over what she could wear in the evening.

She opens the door and the two people who were arguing turn and look at her.

Thank God you came Sonia because I know only you can find me a good dress to put on for tonight. Camile said

Ahhhhh, you left Patricia who knows fashion and even has a fashion shop, and asks me to choose a dress to wear. You are not serious. Sonia said and sat on the bed.

Wehhhh Sonia, please help me out.

I can't because I am not good at fashion and you both know that. Sonia said

How can you ask her to choose a dress for you? Do you want her to tell you to put on black just as she chose a black gown yesterday at the supermarket among all the beautiful colors of the gowns found at the supermarket? Patricia asked

I love not just the design of the gown but the color which will make me look unique. Sonia defense her choice of gown

"Alright oh as you talk. Weti be my own for the gown and Mobi me dey wear the cloth". Patricia said

Alright, why don't we do this? any dress I choose if you think is good let me know and same goes for Patricia's choice of dresses and then we come to a conclusion on one. What do you think? Camile asked Sonia and she nodded her head affirmatively they showed their type of gown but she didn't accept any.

Sonia, will you just choose one from what we are both having so we will be able to conclude fast? Camile said. It's been over an hour now and you still don't like anything we have shown you. Patricia said angrily.

It's because I don't like any of the dresses you are showing me

Ohh really? You want her to put on your useless colors again right? Please even if you don't have money have a fashion taste. Patricia said angrily.

Patricia that's enough you are insulting her. Camile said. Sonia, why don't you try and choose your dress?

Sonia got down from the bed and walked to Camile's Closet and she took out a long forest green gown.

I think you should put on this gown because when you put on this gown it will make your color shine brightly and you will be unique with the gown. Yes I know I am not rich like both of you and I don't have a fashion sense like both of you but I do have my type of taste and I don't need people to appreciate me for it. Sonia said and handed the gown to Camile

Wow, Sonia thanks. I love the gown and I will put it on today and my makeup stylist will do our makeup. And don't you even refuse to make up because I won't accept it today? Camile said looking at Sonia

It was at 5 pm when the make-up stylist finished with both Sonia and Patricia's makeup and everyone in the room was shocked.

Wow Sonia you look good even though you choose a light makeover. Camille said

Thanks for the compliment.

Since Patricia was the first person to apply the makeup she had already put on her dress. She was putting on a red straight party gown which ended up on her knee.

After Sonia's make-up was over she walked to the bathroom to put on her dress. She wore a black straight gown that ended below her knee and it was a long cut at the left side of the gown the cut went up to her left tight showing her long legs and the hand of the gown was thin and the back of the black gown was naked showing her bare back. When she came out of the bathroom everyone was speechless because the gown fit beautifully on her body and her blue eyes made it look more attractive.

Wow, Sonia you look good it looks like you will take my limelight oh. Camile said jokingly. Ever since we were kids I know Sonia has some hidden talent especially when it comes to design or fashion taste but she will always hide it. That is why I will always ask her to help me choose whatever I need to wear even though Patricia knows Sonia's fashion tastes are always unique. That's why when she chose that black gown yesterday I didn't say anything and even when she chose my forest green gown.

We both know that there is no way I will take your limelight because you are always beautiful. Sonia said while Camile continued with her makeup.

Patricia, who was sitting on one of the couches, felt angry and disappointed. Ever since we were small I have always been known as the most beautiful girl after Camile and I have been second best since except for the mating party which made me the first to find her mate among the three of us and I was so happy and now this girl wants to come and take my place. I thought she didn't have a fashion sense but I have been proven wrong. Maybe she has been hiding it from us. But it seems like I am the only person who doesn't know that Sonia has a fashion sense because the way Camile kept insisting that Sonia choose a dress made me feel like she knows that the girl is good at fashion. Patricia said to herself while sitting down on the couch.

Wow, Miss, I must say your makeup looks beautiful on you. Camile makeup stylist said to Camile after she was done with her makeup

Camile looked at her face in the mirror and smiled and she said thanks and then walked to the bathroom to change.

A few minutes later she stepped out of the bathroom and just like always she was breathtaking.

She wore a floor-level forest green gown which had three slim cuts under her breast part of the gown and just like Sonia's gown, the back of her had a two-line-like multiplication sign right down to her waist. The design of the gown was very beautiful and she wore a diamond chain and earrings making her look breathtaking. Her green eyes made her look more beautiful.

Wow, Miss, you look good and I must say the person who chose this gown for you to wear has great fashion sense because the stylist made sure you don't only look beautiful but unique because most girls of your age would rather put on dresses with blue, red, white, and other colors but will never think of this color you are putting on and same goes for the black gown your friend is wearing. So I must say you both will be the unique people there. The stylist said

Thanks so much, Aunt.

What are you girls still doing here? The guests are already here and they are all waiting to see the birthday girl and you girls are still here. Camile's mother asked the moment she stepped inside Camille's room but when she saw her daughter she was at a loss.

Camile, is that you? Her mother asked

Of course, Mom is me. Who else do you think will be standing here?

Oh my God, my daughter looks very beautiful.

Thanks, Mom.

You girls should come downstairs to guess what they are waiting for. And I must say you girls are looking great, especially Sonia. I never knew you were this beautiful. Camile said to Sonia and Patricia.

Thanks, Aunt. They both answered together.

Mom, we will be there soon. Camile said and her mother left her room.

A few minutes later they all step outside the room and walk downstairs.
