Best Sleepover Ever

Chapter 6 - Renee's Reward

*a short car ride later*

They finally got to the mall and Renee can’t contain her excitement. She is literally bouncing in her seat. Nicole is surprised she hasn’t jumped out of the car before her mom could park. When they finally got parked Nicole put her hand on Renee’s shoulder as her mom got out.

Nicole looked over at her then leaned over to her ear and whispered, “Your mom told me to keep you in line and that’s exactly what I will do. Stay near me and don’t grab a bunch of shit you don’t need. That’s it, okay baby doll?”

She pouts, “But…”

Nicole looks at her and raises her eyebrow, wondering if Renee would really try to argue with what she said.

Renee sighed and nodded her head then
mumbled, “Fine…”

Nicole smiled at her and started to get out, but first said “And since you didn’t argue, we will go to Bath and Body Works first since it’s your favorite.”

Renee’s eyes got big as she got out of the car as quickly as possible and ran around to Nicole to hug her.

“Thank you! I promise I’ll be good!” Renee said while hugging her.

Nicole just looked down at her and sighed while patting her back. “You're welcome. Now let’s go and remember what I told you.”

Renee nodded happily as her mom led the way into the mall. They had been there multiple times, so they knew where every store was at inside.

Renee’s mom motioned towards somewhere in the mall and said, “I’m going to JC Penny’s. I assume you’re going to Bath and Body Works since she can’t stay still?”

Nicole just chuckled and nodded while Renee was getting antsy just standing there listening to them talk.

“We can meet in the food court at lunchtime. Sound good?” Renee’s mom asked.

Nicole nodded, but before she could say anything, Renee grabbed her hand and started walking away with her calling out to her mom, “Sounds good! Love you! See you then!”

Nicole laughed and tried to keep up with Renee as they made it in front of her favorite store. Renee took a big sniff at all of the wonderful smells and then went straight inside. Nicole followed behind her, just glancing around. She wasn’t a huge fan of the place, but it was tolerable. Nicole looked around to try and find her favorite smell and found it, so she wandered over there.

As she was looking, Renee ran up behind her with a basket full of lotions, body wash, and so much more. Nicole’s eyes widened as she looked in the basket then she looked up at Renee who was smiling from ear to ear.

Nicole crossed her arms over her chest and asked, “What was 1 of the 2 rules that I said?”

Renee’s face went from happy, to confused, to worried. Renee finally mumbled, “Don’t get things I don’t need…”

Nicole nodded, “Mhm and how much of that do you actually need?”

Renee shrugged her shoulders like a kid who just got caught stealing a cookie from the jar.

Nicole just sighed and said, “You can get 2 lotions, 2 body wash, and 2 hand sanitizers.”

Renee’s eyes lit back up and she nodded with a big smile on her face. She ran around the store contemplating what she would keep and what she would put back. She finally decided and then came back to Nicole with her basket looking a lot less full.

Nicole smiled at her and nodded in approval. “Much better. Let’s go check out.”

Renee led the way up to the counter and sat her stuff down. The cashier rang it all up and told her the price. Renee pulled out some cash to give her, but Nicole swerved in and gave the cashier enough money to cover half of the price. Renee looked at Nicole with wide eyes.
