CHAPTER 34 (part 2)

"Watch your step, Grace!"

"No, no, Grace you have drink too much." took
away the shot glass away from her hand.

"Ouch! Conan! What are you doing? It hurts!"
Amber caressed her fresh beaten head.

"You deserve it, you punk!" She yelled then
walked further, dancing to the loud music.

"Claudia, Claudia, lets sit." Amber dragged her best friend from the inappropriate group of guys who had been surrounding her like she was meat.

"Olivia, watch her. Im getting Conan."

"Look at this so pretty!" Tara squealed at the
new arrival of a branded bag in her hands.

"You like it? Take it."

"No, no." She shook her head. "Ah, so pretty," she
mumbled to herself.

The elder only chuckled and secretly bought the
bag and let the saleswoman wrapped it nicely.

******

A loud clang at the alteration music made Amber  jerked her head to the source of the sound. She groaned when she saw Conan accidentally elbowed a bottle of Vodka and crashed it into pieces.

Amber quickly apologized and pay the damage. She hadn't sat for a minute when Claudia started dancing sexily with random guys. Amber once again had to pulled her off of that man before anything bad happened.

"Who doesn't love Chanel?"

"No one," Tara smiled at overly neat the young
man.

"Exactly, ma'am. This section is for our brand
new collection."

"Hey, just choose. Take whatever you like,
okay?"

*****

She threw herself at the big comfy couch. Her feet ached by walking around too much. A middle aged woman put a glass of orange juice and bow to her as she muttered thank you to her.

"We shop a lot," the kind eyes smiled at her. "Amber would be very happy."

"I know, right? She's going to say I have enough
supply for the rest of the year,"

They laughed.

"That girl is seriously though." The older Amber's  version shook her head. "When she was a med student, she always complaining if I asked her to accompany me shopping. She just stayed at her room and read or played games with her friends. She doesn't change at all. Good thing she's going to marry you."

"Well, I'm always down for shopping. Shopping
can be our date, mom. Which remind me, let me
pay next time. I have money too, you know."

"But I like to spoil my child!"

"But I also want to buy you some nice things."
Tara argued. "I'm happy to see you happy,
mom. So please?" She showed her best puppy dog eyes. "Pretty please?"

Mrs. Freeman chuckled. "All right, all right. How
can Amber say no to you? She's right. You have a
deadly beautiful eyes."

"Amber never say no to me, mom. She just
grumpily nagging me for shopping too long."

The two women were havinga good time when
Amber's dad walked into the house. He kissed his wife and gave Tara a warm hug. They chatted a bit before Tara excused herself to go home.

"Amber is going out to drink with her friends,
right? Why don't you stay the night?"

"Yes, dad, but I don't want her to go home and
I'm not there." Tara politely declined the idea.
