Jack POV
(1 week later)

"Okay what store next?" I ask. We are at the mall and I wanted to buy her some stuff even though I know that she can but it herself.

"Ooh Claire's." she said speed walking over there.

"Are you actually going to get something out of here and me not walking with freaking two bags with only a necklace and a ring?" I ask. She hasn't gotten much but we've been to about 10 stores now.

"I just like window shopping." she says shrugging, "But, I will more the definitely get something out of here. I loooooove Claire's." she says putting up two hand in a heart shape.

We walk in and she shoots straight to the back.

"Hi, can I help you with anything sir?" the lady behind the counter asks.

"Oh no thank you,  my girlfriend probably knows this whole place already." I chuckle.

"Okay well just come back up when your ready." she smiles then starts reading a magazine.

I walk back towards Lilah and she is looking at the cute head band rack.

"I want this one. No this one...or this one. Jaaack which one?" she asks trying to decide.

"Get them all." he says putting them into the little bucket they give you when you first walk in.

"OOOOh look at the ear cuffs." she says almost in a daze. She is so adorable.

"Jack can I get all of these?" she asks with about 6 ear cuffs in her hands. I just shrug my shoulders and she puts them in the bucket.

"OOh I am going to get a phone case. I love the phones cases they have here." she says walking over to the big rack of phone cases.

"Ohh I am going to get this one." she says. What a case.

We walk up to the line

We walk up to the line.

"Hi how..." the lady behind the counter then gets a discusted face when she sees Lilah, "what do you want negro?" 

I cover my mouth with my hands.

Lilah POV

Did this bit...let it go Elsa, let it go.

"Yess umm...I would like to purchase these items." I say smiling.

"I'm sorry but I don't think you can afford this stuff." she says popping her gum.

"I can afford it other wise I wouldn't have put it in the basket." I say through clenched teeth still smiling.

"I'm sorry."

"Man forget that I got apple pay." I say.

I take out my phone but before I can get to the app this hoe pulls the scanner away.

"Negro listen,  I can't help you."  she says placing the scanner back.

"Unlike I helped you?" I ask. I about to bring back the past.

"How did you ever help me?" she asks.

"Oh did I not feed you, did I not clothe you? Last time I checked, my ancestors were the ones that planted all the food that they barely got to eat themselves. My ancestors were the ones that planted the cotton that  you used ,and still use, for your clothes.  Without us, there would be no you." I say.

I quickly scan my phone then throw the bucket on the floor.

"I hope you have a nice day." I say waving and smiling to the lady. She just gives me the middle finger then finishes reading her magazine.

"I'm so sorry Lilah." Jack says hugging my from behind.

"Your fine." I say patting her head.

"That was...I'm sorry."

"Don't worry. Her words don't faze me. Especially the way she was looking." I say shaking my head.

He let's out a slight laugh.

"Com'on let's go eat." I say.

"On me."  Jack says.

"Okay  whatever floats your boat." I say shrugging.
