Irresistible (a Zayn Malik Fan Fiction)

Chapter 2. Challenge

*FLASHBACK~Age: 6*

My mom decided to take me shopping for clothes.

She had just earned alot of money from her three jobs and she's been busy with bills and trying to keep up with saving money for herself and I. She never had time for me since daddy left. Most of my days consist of going to school and after school, I care for myself. I feed for myself, help out with cleaning around the house, and right after that, I start my homework while my mom is still out.

For someone as young as me, I feel so..grown up for my age.

Most kids would just come home with loving parents already waiting for them by the door and ask them how their day went.

Most kids would play in their free time and not do any chores. Most kids..would just be kids and have fun while they're young.

But I'm not one of those kids unfortunately.

"Look 'Nessa! Try on these", my mom said as she handed me two pairs of shirts. I grabbed them from her and examined her choice of clothing for me. One was pink with flowers on it while the other one was a cute, ruffly blouse. I smiled at her as she held my hand and took me to the changing rooms.

"Don't leave me while I'm changing mommy!", I said to her as I entered a stall for me to change. I closed the door and hung my two shirts up where the wall had a hook on it.

"Mommy will be close by where the racks are baby", I heard her say.

I looked down and saw her shadows of her feet leave the changing rooms. I knew how to change for myself so I didn't really need her help in anything.

I took off my baby pink shirt while I tried on the pink with flowers shirt on. I looked at myself in the mirror and couldn't help, but giggle. I had a thing for pink and baby colors. I always thought my pale skin looked beautiful with the soft colors.

Before I could change in to the white blouse, I decided to show my mom the shirt I had on and see what she thinks of it.

I exited the stall with my belongings left behind and searched for my mom.

"Mommy???", I called out her name.

But nothing.

"MOMMY?", I called out again. 

Nothing again.

I decided to leave the changing room and look around the store for my mom.

As I was about to exit the changing room, I heard a familiar giggle. I looked everywhere and then saw my mother...

She was with a man.

She was..laughing? and talking to him?

Not that I can't say anything about the man since he's around my mom's age, but he was good looking. Black hair and had colored eyes..green ones I suppose.

I widened my eyes and hid behind one of the racks that was close by to me as I watched my mother talk to this stranger. She was smiling and looked happy. Nobody has ever made my mom this way unlike me..

No guy.

Nada.

But I couldn't help but think that she's cheating on dad with him. I was angry at this man for flirting with my mom..and for my mom to flirt back with him.
