when fezco said he would make it up to sophia, he meant that. she was being spoiled like crazy which she didn't mind at all, even talking him out of buying her a new car by reassuring him that hers was working perfectly fine.
this morning he gave her two thousand in cash telling her to enjoy herself for the day which is exactly what she did as she currently browsed the mall alone.
"excuse me? do you guys have this dress in a size 6?" sophia raised up a short baby pink dress in front of the saleswoman who looked her up and down in distaste. "sorry, we only carry sizes one, three and five. you could try sears." she says sassily before walking away.
"what a fucking bitch."
"ugh, i know right." sophia says turning around to face whoever was speaking to her.
maddy was taken back at the sight of sophia. "just my luck. of course it's you."
"i'm definitely not happy to see you either perez."
"god. you're so annoying."
"yeah, whatever." sophia rolls her eyes putting the dress back on the rack and continuing to look around for the next fifteen minutes.
"what do you mean? the tag says it's 200." maddy says arguing with the store manager as she came out of the dressing room with a beautiful shiny gown on.
"yeah, well it's a mistake. the dress is 500 dollars."
"but- i can't afford that."
"then take the dress off. that's not my problem."
sophia watches the interaction seeing the lady walk away from a sulken looking maddy who had a sudden glossiness in her eyes. "it's not even that cute anyways." maddy quickly wipes the tears from her face and goes back into the dressing room to change.
the embarrassment came in waves as she walked out the store making her way to the food court to order a pretzel from auntie anne's.
maddy ripped a piece off from her cinnamon sugar pretzel and checked the time sighing at the fact she had to be at work in an hour. she loved babysitting theo but she didn't feel up for it today considering the fact that the reveal of cassie fucking nate was still fresh in her brain.
"hey."
maddy looks up meeting the eyes of sophia taking a seat across from her and placing her shopping bags close to her feet. "what the fuck do you want?"
"are you okay?" sophia asks cautiously. although she didn't like maddy she still had a heart and seeing her look so broken made her feel some type of way.
maddy drops her tough exterior slightly and shakes her head, "no. not really."
"do you, um, want to smoke some weed?" sophia took some of her pretzel and popped a piece in her mouth.
