Chapter 91
I was in the dressing room and heard the chitter chatter of the customers outside. The store was packed and the sales reps were running around like crazy tending to everyone but I just grabbed my dress and skipped right in to try it.
Standing in front of the mirror in the dress, I couldn’t help but be in awe of how I looked in it. I played with my hair in different styles to see which would go best.
A bun? Or maybe a braid if I make it a little thicker? Nah too much. The dress was enough on its own, the hair needed to be simple, not in the way, and just perfectly messy.
The dress showed a lot of cleavage and fell just below my butt, covering everything up but showing enough to make it sizzling.
Watching myself right now, I would call the outfit hot.
Someone knocked on the wall and I gasped, my heart jumped up in my throat and I fell against the wall.
“Yes?” My voice trembled like I’d seen a ghost.
“I saw which dress you took and just thought you might want to try it with these shoes,” the sales rep said when she stuck her head inside.
She eyed me with caution at first, seeing as I was pressed up against the wall, but then she smiled and I could tell she was waiting for me to grab the shoes so she could hurry away.
“Thank you,” I grabbed them and she disappeared.
Holy shit.
My heart was racing and my hands started shaking.
I sat down on the stool and caught my breath, wondering what the hell my problem was.
The fear was that Darian would find me here but why? Maybe he’d see the dress and know what I was planning on doing but I could fabricate a lie and get myself out of it.
I was just jumpy as hell today.
Every day for that matter.
My body responded as if I was on the run, on constant high alert, and prepared for any threat.
It was exhausting.
“Fuck it,” I said and wiped my face with the shirt I had on.
I fiddled with the shoes for a good minute before I got them on. The golden strap fell in layers around my ankle and the heels were high, the same height as the ones I cursed during the Ball but something about these heels made me excited to wear them.
Maybe it was the way the gold looked liquid on my feet or how the straps were seamlessly wrapped around my ankles and laid flawlessly against my skin which looked bronzer with the gold colors. I let my hand follow the smoothness of my skin as I stood slowly and arched my back.
The dress sparkled under the light of the lamp, the golden fabric and the glitter that made it look like hundreds of tiny diamonds that shimmered.
My brah pushed up my breasts perfectly and lifted them enough to see the plumpness but leave the rest to the imagination.
Never in my life had I ever considered myself ‘hot’, but standing here right now dressed in this particular piece I envied myself- it was the weirdest feeling.
Darian should’ve chosen his cards differently because all bets are off tonight.

Chapter 91
I don’t want to think. I don’t want to care. Nora and I will go out wherever she wants to take me and we will live like there isn’t a problem in the world- whatever that entails, only time will tell.
I took the dress and the shoes and put them on the desk for the cashier to ring up.
She grabbed a bag and put the shoes in a box.
“That’ll be two hundred and thirty-nine please,”
The machine beeped after it took my money and I bit my tongue to keep myself from laughing, but I just spent all the money I had on a little dress and a pair of shoes.
