It's a regular Saturday morning Queenie and I are watching some random tv show chugging down on a bottle of orange juice like it's patron . Occasionally I'd glance over at her she would be scratching her navel " must you do that" I asked "do what?" She raised a brow " scratching your navel like you a grown man with a beer belly" Queenie let out a laugh " what do you want me to do let it itch" " why is your navel even itching" " I DONT KNOW ITS MY BODY HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO ANSWER THAT" Queenie threw her hands in the air , I leaned over to kiss her lips she gave in

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* both of us jump by the loud banging on the door "who is that" Queenie asked I lightly kissed her lips " probably some drunk asking fro money" I assured as soon as I went to kiss her again * Knock knock knock* " Andre it's me mommy" Queenie became alert, she pushed me off her " shit shit shit" she whispered to her self "Andre it is eluded to have your mother waiting out here" my mom said annoyed " I'm coming just getting dressed" I lied "Boy I used to wash your body during bath time" she spat .I looked at Queenie who rushed into the bedroom flopping on the bed pretending she's sleeping. I went to open the door mom stood eyebrows raised hands on hips tapping her foot... the same look she gave me when I was a child and I was in trouble

She slowly walked in eyeing the place. " hmmm" she said " take my coat and kiss your mother" she demanded I followed " Henry told me you are planning on leaving this dump." She said I chuckled " yeah I finally decided to splurge move somewhere better" mother looked at me " hmm really now are you sure it's not that girl your parading around that convinces you"

I blinked a few time " you mean twinkle , yeah she had a few choice words about it" " like what words" by her demeanor it felt like mom is giving me the third degree " I told him it felt like I was walking into a horror film" Queenie stood in the door way both mom and looked at her wearing one of my oversized hoodie and leggings

Mom put on a smile " hey baby look at you you are glowing" she lightly hugged her " how are you" " I'm great actually I just got over a cold I'm extremely tired" mom rubbed her shoulder " aww pour baby I'm glad your feeling better because we are going shopping" she announced

It was now Queenie and I looking at mom crazy " the winter banquet is a prestige event you must look your absolute best so I figured I take you shopping and I'm taking no for an answer so grab your purse let's go" before Queenie could answer mom grabbed her arm heading for the door . Queenie looked back at me it was too late they were gone

Here we are at this expensive ass dress boutique " pick out what ever dress you like twink" said ruby grabbing a glass of champagne. I let out a sigh looking around not at the dresses but the price tags " 25,000" or "500,000" I even went to the cheap section that was still expensive " have you found anything yet" asked ruby walking up " everything is expensive, I can't even afford the accessories" I protested " who said you were paying" asked ruby my eyes shot to her " no ruby you can't" " I can and I will here look at this dress, your what a size?"

Ruby grabbed a random dress holding it to me my body " I'm a medium small" I gave in " perfect go try this on" and I did

After trying dress after dress having to hold in my breath, pushing my boobs up we finally. Honestly had this situation not be the way it is Miss.Ruby is actually a nice woman. Then I thought about her not what's about to happen. As she paid for the dress and a few accessories I see some I that I knew  would be perfect for Andre.

" you go ahead I'll pay for these" I said ruby looked at what I had a smile formed into her face " nice choice" she said I pulled out my card  to pay for my item , when the lady gave me my receipt to sign I signed my name " Queenie? Why did you sign Queenie" ruby asked " uhhh" she looked me in the eye I let out a sigh tears welled in my eyes " my real name is Queenie I was just a little embarrassed about my name"
" grab your things we'll talk at lunch"
