We left for the mall shortly after Stephanie and Mia got to our house. When I first saw Mia she gave off this weird vibe I just couldn't shake off. She kept staring at Emilio the entire time we were in the car. It was a very creepy feeling for me.
I'm sure Emilio could feel it too. Once we got out of the car I was relieved. "So I've never been to this Mall before." Stephanie blushes and I smile. "I haven't been for half a month, but I could show you where all the good things are," I tell her.

I need to get to know Stephanie. Make sure she's right for my father. "That would be great." We walk into the large mall and the fresh breeze hits my face. I've always loved the smell of the mall. All the people walking around and having a good time.

You can come here and it will just make you happy. I point to the first shop on my left. My favorite clothes shop. "We can go in there. They have amazing shirts." I tell her and she nods. "I might just buy the whole store."

"Emilio and I will leave you girls to it. We're going to go check out the shoe store." My father tells me.

I wave to them as they start walking off. Stephanie, Mia, and I walk into the store. "This is amazing." Stephanie squeals over a jumpsuit. I didn't know she's into these kinds of things. It's very colorful and something a college student would wear. It's also very exposing.

"They could do better," Mia says to Stephanie as she eyes the clothes in disdain. She walks over towards the purses while I pick up a see-through shirt. Stephanie walks over to me with a smile. "So you and Emilio." She winks and I blush.

"Yeah, he's my good friend." I nervously laugh. "Good friend hmm." She hums and moves over to the clothes rack next to me. "You wouldn't bring a guy home with you just because he's a good friend Delilah."

Is she catching on to us? I don't know if her finding out will be good or not. I mean she could possibly tell my father.

"My mother recommended it," I say as if I didn't have a choice. "Mm, that explains the way you look at him." She says.

"And how do I look at him," I ask curiously.

"Like you want to kiss him." She smiles. "It also explains the condom in the trash the night you first got here."

Oh shit! I forgot it was in the trash. We were in such a rush I wasn't thinking about it at all. I look away to hide my face. She caught me. Damn does my father know?

"Don't worry. I got rid of the trash bag before your father saw it." I let out a sigh. That was close.

"Y-yes Emilio and I are seeing each other," I say and she smiles wider and squeals.

"I'm glad. You two are so cute together, but why hide it from your father?" She asks.

"My father isn't going to take it lightly. I have a mate and me being with Emilio is going to enrage him."

She thinks for a second and then frowns. "Yeah, he did tell me the story about your mom." She says and then regret fills her face. "Sorry."

"It's fine. I'm glad my father is moving on." My mother not so much. How could she be happy after taking that happiness from both of us?

Mia walks over to us with a bunch of clothes in her hand. "Try these on." She hands them to Stephanie and gives me a pair of clothing. We both nod and head to the dressing room.

I look down at the clothes in my hand and Mia has style. "Dressing room for 2 please," I tell the worker. She takes some keys from her drawer and motions for us to follow.

"I usually let Mia pick out my outfits when I go shopping with her. She's a fashion designer." Stephanie says.

"Wow, that's a cool line of work. I might need to go shopping with her daily." We both laugh before I walk into my dressing room.
