Nicolas Brown & Worrick Imagines

With ears to see and eyes to hear vol 16: Collide

Bonjour! There has been a change of plans I decided to break up the chapter. I just needed room and a separation of a chapter in order to write more comfortably. I hope the ending flows the next volume is in the works. Shout out to all of the readers that commented and participated in my readers note!

I appreciate the encouragement!

The sun's gentle rays danced through clear glass spewing out spouts of rainbow colors through the colorful diamond shaped patterns in the window.

You were amazed at the pretty display of light in the comfy boutique withdrawn from the hum of conversation between ladies about fabrics and sizes.

The light show from the window was a welcome distraction given the strange turn of events this morning.

You felt a tap on your shoulder, and your eyes dashed to the perpetrator.

Loretta stone cold face is trained on you. She slowly raised her hands to show you a dress her features melting into childlike joy. You were amazed that clothes could change Loretta's bitter mood so quickly.

'If only I knew all it took to get Loretta to like me is some retail therapy. I would've taken her shopping ages ago. I had no idea she'd let me go shopping with Alex anyways. She hates me."

Your eyes wandered back to the window thinking about her strange invitation. Earlier today after practicing with the band this morning for two hours everything was normal Loretta shooting disapproving glares at your playing skills with her arms crossed. She would pause the song and point at you saying you started to early or came in too late.

The rehearsal came to an end and the band packed up to go home. Alex came over and volunteered to give you a push to rest your hands from playing for hours.

'I could use a break my fingers cramp up from overuse, so wheeling myself home is going to be a pain.'

You sized her up to see if she regressed to her obsessive caretaker behaviour.

You squinched your eyes at her unsuspecting blue one's and said.

"Is this my sister Alex talking or crazy mom Alex talking?"

Alex smirked at your ridiculous accusation and raised her hands in defeat. "Fine Y/N suit yourself."

"Hey, Alex you know I'm just joking  sis."

She sighs at your dramatics and comes back for you pushing you to the door. Then Loretta yelled out of nowhere running after you two.

"Wait!" You both shared a look of bewilderment you mouthed to Alex 'what does she want.' She replies with a shrug of her shoulders mouthing 'I don't know. Let's see what she says.'

You took a deep breath preparing yourself for her backhanded insults.

Loretta clasp a hand on Alex shoulder and spoke to her as if you didn't exist per usual.

"I was wondering if you'd like to come shopping with Gal, Marco and I. They are in a terrible need of new suits for tonight. I also need our lead singer to wear a brand new beautiful dress for her performance."

She tells her nudging Alex in her brown arm playfully. She smiled gracefully at first but then it subsided to a stressful lip bite pinching her fingertips nervously she replies.

"I appreciate the invitation. I'd love to come but my expenses." She tells her with a whisper.

Loretta clicks her tongue and wagged her finger at her attempt to back out.
