Chapter 66: Amira

As soon as we closed the outside door a tall and very fit lady walked swiftly towards us. She was beautiful with a dark complexion and dark eyes to match, high cheek bones, and long legs. Her hair was a silky black that hung past her shoulders and was extremely straight. Her hair looked as though it would never tangle and I wanted to reach out with envy and touch it.

As she came closer her brown eyes zoned in on Logan and then me and she smiled wide. "Logan, it's about time you came to visit me! I barely get to see you anymore kiddo!", she said happily while giving him a big hug and patting him on his head. Looking somewhat embarrassed Logan returned the hug genuinely and replied, "You're only two years older then me... give it a rest". Even though he sounded annoyed I could tell from the feeing in the room he felt very close to this individual. She smelled like another bear shifter for sure. My hackles began to rise slightly, but the familiarity between them seemed more familial.

She turned to me still smiling bright and gave me a big hug too. "You are so gorgeous girl! How could my little cousin find a girl like you?". She held onto both of my arms as she took in my features. She was very pretty up close. How do I answer her question though? Well, you see, I just walked in out of the woods.... actually maybe that was a good answer. Clearly she was a bear.

I was about to respond when Logan came up beside me clearing his throat so I did not have to answer her question after all and said, "Little Wolf this is my cousin Amira. Amira this is Little Wolf". He did not give me a title and that did not go unnoticed as Amira's eyes jumped between Logan and I before her grin somehow became even wider. "Oh, I see", she said jokingly, then continued, "I'm assuming she needs an outfit for tonight?". Logan nodded slightly to Amira. He then headed to some seats next to the changing room located towards the back of the building trying to seem uninterested. He even went as far as picking up a magazine and leisurely thumbing through the pages.

Amira was brimming with excitement. She jumped up and down slightly before pushing me towards an empty changing room. "Stay here! I'm going to go grab a few things for you to try on. This is going to be so much fun!", she said rapidly. She had not even finished the last sentence before she was running around the shop. She sure was in the right profession.

Logan hollered out to Amira as she worked, "Nothing too form fitting cousin. She needs to be able to move around freely". I heard Amira huff out a breath on the other side of a clothes rack before darting off to another one. When I looked to Logan he gave me a slight smile over the magazine. He must know from my clothing choices so far that I was more comfortable in something loose. Again with the sweetness.

Amira came back quickly with an arm full of dresses. She pushed me into a room and put all the clothes onto a wall hanger. "Alright, let's get started!".
