"what about this one?" i asked, stepping out of the dressing room.

reggie slowly eyed my dress up and down before his eyes met mine again. he squinted his eyes at me and shook his head.

"what's wrong with it?" i bit the inside of my cheek.

"that shit showing too much." he said.

"reggie i'm trying to change my wardrobe around and you're not helping." i frowned. "i don't wanna look like a grandmother."

"you tryna be grown and ian fuckin' wit' it." he said.

i looked at him like he was stupid, "i'm gonna be 20 this year."

"ion give a fuck how old you turning. go take that shit off." he mugged me.

"i'm buying this dress. i think it brings out my figure." i looked down at the dress before looking back at him.

"getcho ass beat za'nova." he stood up and grabbed my hand, leading me back into the dressing room. "take this shit off while i find you sum' else to wear."

"mmcht," i smacked my lips, "i feel bad for jori when she gets older."

"jori know not to play wimme. get to strippin'." he said before leaving out, making sure to close the door behind him.

"i'm so tired of this." i mumbled to myself while taking the dress off. "a whole year of him thinking he's my father. i'm done tolerating it. i'm a grown woman. i won't be treated like a toddler. i will make my own decisions. i will wear what i wanna wear-"

"put this shit on." reggie came in and sat some clothes on the bench.

"okay." i bit the inside of my cheek and grabbed the clothes.

i slipped them on over my undergarments before standing in the mirror and looking over my attire. "i actually like this."

"yea cause i got taste." reggie rolled his eyes as he stood against the wall and watched me through the mirror.

"anyways." i pulled the shirt back over my head and took the pants back off, "i'm still getting the dress."

"we gon' see if it make it out this mall." he chuckled as i began putting my original clothes back on.

"you see how thick i'm getting? look at my nicki minaj curves." i turned around to face him.

"girl sit yo' lil ass down." he laughed at me, grabbing the new clothes and throwing them over his shoulder.

i rolled my eyes and followed him out the dressing room. "i'm hungry."

"lemme go buy this shít then we can go to the food court." he told me, walking away from me.

i knew he was gonna let me get the dress.

after he came back with the clothes in bags we walked out of the store and began walking towards the food court. i grabbed the bags from him and went to find a table while he ordered food.
