The Family Man

Chapter 10

Thanks For The Reads! Not edited

Ethan and I watched 'Red 2' he left after the movie was done but there was something different about him. I asked him if he wanted to stay the night since it was his house but he declined and left in a hurry. I prepared for bed and checked on Emily for the last time.

I was awoken by Emily's cries my very loud alarm clock. I cleaned and fed her; I searched through my bag for my phone and saw the Black card. You're supposed to buy a dress. I could ask Ethan if he wanted to keep Emily but then he might be traumatized from last week even though he didn't complain. I took a shower feeling a slight stinging sensation in my back. I looked in the mirror at my back it had Ethan's fingernails clawing down my back the marks were red but I didn't mind them. I dressed in a skirt and a loose fitting blouse not wanting anything to touch the marks.

I looked at the Black card in my hand and sighed. I had Emily in her stroller looking at the windows at stores looking for the perfect dress. I walked pass a couple more stores and stopped at the entrance of Gucci there was a dress that was to die for it was white with a deep cut but covered the breast with a mesh, the sides were meshed and a split at the thigh. I pushed Emily's stroller in the store and looked around and a few women were glaring at me.

"Uhm...Good evening I would like that dress please." I pointed and smiled at the dress.

"That dress is almost 2 thousand dollars." A woman that looked like a model said to me.

Two thousand for that, well it's not my money and he did say decent and it looks decent enough. I looked at the dress it was definitely beautiful and the back was meshed. "I want it." I smiled at her.

"I don't think you would be able to afford it, but there is a store a few blocks that would be in your budget." She looked at me scornfully.

I sighed and took my purse from out of the stroller. This woman is arrogant. "I said I would take this dress." I folded my arms.

"How would possibly pay for this dress? We do not accept coupons." She glared at me.

This woman was getting on my nerves. Take the Black Card out let's see her reaction. I slowly removed the card from my purse not letting them see it and I looked at her with a smirk. "This is how I'm going to pay." I held up the card between my index and middle finger, she gasped and her face pale.

"What size do you wear?" She asked pleasantly.

"Size 2." I smirked at her Never judge a book by its cover.

"What is the occasion?" She asked.

"An opening."

"Okay. Here is your dress do you want to try it on?"

"Yes."

She showed me a dressing room and I quickly tried on the dress it did fit perfectly but the back hurt but I could deal with that. I looked in the mirror it looked good to me and I know that if I asked the women outside they would say it looked good. I took off the dress and put on my clothes.

"How did it fit?"

"It fits perfectly. I'll take it." I gave her the card and sat in a sofa they had in the store. She walked over to the counter and made a call her eyes widened she looked at me and Emily. What's the matter?

"Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bakersfield wants to speak with you." She said to me. I walked over to the counter taking up the phone.

"Hi." I said.

"Hey so did you find a dress that you like?" He asked.

"Yes I had a little problem at first." I looked at the woman who looked suddenly nervous.
