Love or hate?( A difficult choice)

Chapter 14

As soon as we stepped inside the mall Demona took my hand and started pulling me towards the dress stores on our right. "Okay let's start with some dresses". We started looking around but I found myself completely lost. God I really hated shopping and more than anything I hated trying all these dresses. After 10minutes of me just standing near the same rack I decided to give up. "Hey did you like something". Demona asked coming towards me with a pile of dresses hanging on both her hands.

"Ummm... I don't think I like anything much".

"Oh! Don't worry I found something for you" she turned around and two attendants were standing there, after handing over the whole pile to one of them she started removing some and giving it to the other girl to hold. She then took out a beautiful long blue dress with white and black stones in the front and stretched her arm towards me "try this on while I select a few more for you to try".

I stared at the dress for a moment before taking it from her hand and going towards the trial room. This is going to be a long day, huh. After that I tried almost fifty dresses and she did not like any some were boring, some were too loud, some did not suit my skin, some were wrongly cut and so on and so forth. I was really tired now but Demona was still all charged up "okay Ava try this one this is stunning."

This time there was a purple full length dress with black and red flower like broach made on it. It was really pretty. I went into the room and put the dress on and it did look nice on me, enhancing my curves. I came out and Demona instantly jumped up on her feet "wow you look gorgeous this is the dress, we are taking it I am so hapoy I could find you a dress."

I looked into the mirror and smiled it really did look good in me "thank yo, this is nice".

Demona beamed at me and pushed me into the trial room "okay now go change we need to go shoe shopping also. I want to make sure you look perfect at the dinner".

"Dinner? What dinner?" I asked confused I am not informed about any dinner I am supposedly a part of.

Demona gave me a sheepish smile "shit! I was not supposed to tell you it is a surprise Darmen is planning for you. Please don't tell him you already know or he is going to kill me". I nodded at her and went inside to change into my clothes.

"Surprise? I can never understand this man one moment he tells me I am his slave living at his mercy and the other he is planning a surprise dinner for me. God he is a mystery I will never be able to solve.

It took another hour for shoe shopping, when we came out of the shop Demona was all up to visit other stores but I was tired and hungry. I looked at Thomas who has been following us all this time, "I am hungry can we go eat something please".

"Sure, Demona can we go eat first everyone is starving then you can go for the makeover you are talking about." She nodded and we all went towards the food court. The three of us sat down while others stood around us, It was really uncomfortable with people staring us so I asked Thomas to tell them that they can join us. After that everyone sat down and one of the guys took our orders and went to get us our food.

"So did you girls finished shopping". Thomas asked to start a conversation.

"Oh for now we have but we are going to go for a hair cut and spa, I sure going to make her look different and gorgeous, Darmen will not be able to take his eyes off her". Thomas glanced at me for a second before turning back to Demona and giving her a nod.

Our food arrived and we all of us started eating. "So Ava where are you from, I just realised that I do not know much about you". Demona said looking at me.

"I lived two hours away towards the west zone of Cape Rio. I was studying literature there. I still have a year of classes left to get my PhD. And you already know about Amanda." I replied politely, the whole time Thomas was looking at me with a worried expression on his face. I am sure he does not want Demona knowing the real reason for my presence here. I don't think I can tell her, it will break her heart and I cannot do that to her even without Darren's warning. She loves her brother this will ruin it. I don't know why do I care so much but I do anyways.
