After a while we pulled up at the mall. it was huge just like I remembered it. I had come here with Stephanie a bunch of times but never really got anything serious. I put on my shades, I didn't want any one recognizing me. We got out of the car, with Mateo and the rest of the men trailing behind us.
People turned to stare, probably wondering if we were some kind of celebrity or something, I chose to ignore them and continued my journey into the mall. My eyes scanned the mail looking for a dress that would suit me, but didn't find anything. I was constantly being dragged by Samantha to different stores.
How could I have forgotten so quickly how She gets when shopping. My feet were aching and we still haven't found anything presentable to wear. We had been to a couple of stores and it was already 2pm in the afternoon, that was when we walked into a beautiful boutique. It was filled with a lot of beautiful dresses and fewer people, so the chances of getting recognized were slim.
Samantha and I searched and searched for a perfect dress for the two of us and I was about to give up and just go back home to the mansion, that was when I saw it.
The Dress.
It was a beautiful red dress that was definitely fitted. It was a red drop waist mermaid long strapless formal dress
"This is it". I say smiling at it.
“Why don't you try it on, let's see. " Samantha says pushing me off towards the dressing room.
I took off my clothes and put on the dress. I raised my head to stare at my reflection and was stunned. The dress was indeed beautiful, if possible, way too beautiful.
" Mani come out, I want to see how it looks." I could hear the excitement from Samantha's voice. I unlocked the door and stepped out, Samanthas jaw was dropped to the ground. " Oh my God, it's like the dress was made perfectly for you. You are going to give Sin a run for his money.” She said pulling me into a hug then pulled away to look at the dress. " You really look beautiful, Mani"
"Thank you" I say, my lips raised up in a smile. I walked back to the dressing room to take off the dress and change back into my own clothes. As I picked up the dress, I caught sight of the price tag and almost fainted.
It was freaking expensive.
I walked back out to put the dress back where found it and Samantha stared at me confused.
"why are you putting it back, that dress looks good on you not to be worn. " She asked.
"it's expensive Sam, I didn't expect it to be this expensive"
She grabbed my hand. " You do know, Sin doesn't mind right. Do you see how much money he makes? This is like a change to. him, so don't worry and take the dress. " I hate using Sin money because I know for a fact it's not mine. But at the end of the day, I had to get the dress.
“ Okay, but if he gets pissed at me, I am blaming it all on you. "I won't even mind looking good, so l took the dress to the cashier and bought it with his card.
" name"' the cashier asked.
"Violante' the minute I said his name, her hands trembled and she dropped the card on the floor.
" I'm sorry, I will get this done right away. " she says, swiping the card. It was obvious that she was afraid. She seemed so scared once l brought up Sin's name. How influential was Sin, that made people this scared of him.
I wondered.
After paying for it, Samantha was able to find a dress that suited her also and she paid for it. We walked out of the boutique in search of shoes and other necessities. We walked out of the mall and
Mateo took the shopping bags from me. We got and we drove right off, back to the mansion. Samantha and I spent the afternoon together, watching our favourite movie and complimenting the looks of the male lead. We ordered a pepperoni pizza along with some fries and chicken. I have been eating a lot lately. Maybe it was stress but anyway. We had a lot of fun.
