Ranae

      Looking through the clothes rack in Charlotte Rousse  for some dresses that would look right for the shoes I got I held up a Hacci Knit Sweater dress that was red which is my favorite color and really cute.

"uh don't even think about it. that is showing to much skin and you know how your dad is about that" My mother said looking up at me and back at the shirt she was holding.

Rolling my eyes and sighing I pretended to hang it back up and look for something else. Soon as she walked away to look at some expensive purses in another store in this mall, I grabbed the dress back and hid it under the rest of the clothes I was going to get for school.

My dad is very overprotective of me and my other siblings. My dad also use to be a really big kingpin here in Chicago and other places so that explains his reasons I guess. Before he stopped it was just my mother and him and I guess they thought they were like bonnie and Clyde, hell more than bonnie and Clyde.

But  when my dad found out she was pregnant with my big brother they settle down and called it quits. So that's where the money came from. We don't know the full story of their lives before us, they keep that private. But now my dad owns clubs here, Atlanta and New York. While my mother is a fashion designer, a popular one.

But anyways my dad doesn't like any of his daughters showing to much skin. My little sister and me are his little princesses and don't want us to be taken advantage of  by any of these lil niggas he would say. I can understand cause my little sister is only 13 but I'm finna be 18 soon I should be able to wear what I like. There is only four of us. My big brother 3 years older than me. I'm the second oldest then there's my lister and little brother.

"Are you ready? look at this beautiful purse baby, isn't it gorgeous?" my mom said came back holding it up smiling looking at it.

"A very expensive purse" I mumbled getting ready to walking to the register to pay.

she looked at me and furrowed her eyebrows holding the purse back down.

"Excuse me, Miss tomboy its not even that expensive." she said looking at it again. "just a couple hundred, no biggie" she said chuckling walking to the register.

Following behind her I shook my head at how she says a couple hundreds when it cost a little over a thousand for that purse . And FYI not a tomboy just don't like certain girly things.

"Really mom? you know how dad is about spending too much money on unnecessary things" I said mocking her voice from earlier while putting the stuff on the counter. "And don't you have like a million others already?" I asked.

pulling out my wallet from my bag I waited for the clerk to ring my stuff and tell me the price.

"will that be all?" the clerk said putting my things in the bag.

she was a pretty girl, looks about, my age or a little older. she was a brown sugar complexion with really curly natural hair and brown eyes.

I nodded my head pulling out a couple of hundred dollar bills. I put my wallet back in my bag. this isn't my first time shopping here so I know the prices well.

"okay your total is $210.35" the girl said.

I handed her the three hundred I took out and grabbed my bag off the counter, thanking her before walking away with my mom behind me to head out the store.

"Ranae, you didn't get your change. what are you doing?" my mom asked behind me.

"I know" was all I said before  putting my headphones in my ear. But before I knew it one ear bud was yanked out my right ear. My head flew to the right so hard with so much annoyance I'm fore sure it was gonna break cause I hate when people take my headphones out my ear.
