|Chapter 2|

"Let me help you..."

Greenville Mall |4:36pm|

"No."

"Eww."

"Nope."

"Ooo. Now this I like. What you think Ty?"

"Yeah it's cute." I said as I watched Heaven go through the racks of clothing.

"Hey, I'm not just shopping by myself. Come and pick something out for yourself. Don't just stand there."

I was totally out of my element. I mean I'm not used to buying new things for myself, I've just gotten usedt to wearing the same thing.

"Ok." I nodded searching through the racks as well

Small. No.

Medium. No.

Extra Small. Nooo.

Heaven must have noticed my discomfort because she came next to me.

"Follow me Tyra, there's nothing here for you." she said dragging me away. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little salty.

"What's your size girl?"

"Uhmm. Huh?"

"Don't play me Tyra. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Your beautiful, and there's nothing wrong with a little junk in the trunk." we giggled

"But on a real note, your really beautiful. I just feel like your letting your insecurities hold you back, and I don't like that at all. Now one more time...What's your size?"

"I wear extra large in shirts and a 18 or 20 in pants, it depends."

She was absolutely right. I was letting my insecurities hold me back from living my life. I'm so tired.Tired of worrying about everyone else's opinion, Worrying about my body, my self image. I'm tired. It's time for a new me.

"Tyra?" she snapped her fingers in my face.

"Oh sorry I was thinking."

"Okay? anyway what do you think of these?"

She held up four different shirts.

"Yeah this is really cute Heav. Imma go and try them on. Thanks girl."

"Ooo someone's breaking out of there shell, let me find out." We laughed

After 2 hours of trying things on I was tired, but Heav insisted that I try on one last dress. It's was a black maxi dress that was casual but could still be dressed up.

"Heaven what do yo-

"Damn-

He cleared his throat.

"I mean uh- uh Heaven stepped out and asked me to keep an eye on you." Markell said

I nodded and turned around to look in the mirror. He came up behind me, but not to close.

"You look really gorgeous in this dress ma."

"If you don't buy it, then I will." He smirked

"Thanks." I blushed

I can't even lie I looked good in this dress. It hugged all my curves, fit like a glove. I felt pretty.

"I'm gonna go change." I looked at him and he nodded.

Once I came out with all my cloths, I saw Heaven talking to this brown chocolate dude with a couple tats here and there. He was cute but he wasn't Markell.

"Hey Ty this is Trevor or Trey. Trey this is Tyra." Heaven said

"Wassup" he nodded

"Hey."

"So me and trey are gonna step out for a minuet, you ok with Kell?"

"Yeah she good with me nigga gone." He showed them away

I laughed and hugged Heaven then made my way to the front desk.

"Thanks for shopping with us. Your total will be $185.69."

I reached for my card only to see her passing me the recite. I looked at Markell

"I don't need you buying stuff for me, I have my own."

"I'm not gonna let you spent ya money when you with me point blank."

I simply grabbed my bag and walked off.

"Hey can I at least get a thank you?" He smiled

I couldn't hold back the smile tugging on my lips and thanked him.

"So how'd you get that money, since you didn't get use your card?"

"Different story for a different day babygirl, and no I'm not a drug dealer." he shook his head while I giggled

"But uh you hungry?" I nodded

We made our way to the food court eating in silence.

"Where'd you come from Ms. Tyra?"

"I'm from Brooklyn."

"Cool, so you ready to tell me your story now?"

"Different story for a different day babyboy." I mocked him

"So you got jokes huh." we laughed

"Yep"

"You got a pretty smile you know that?"

"Thank you, again"

"You welcome, again." He said in a high pitched girly voice

"Eww no Markell never do that again!"

"Whatever girl" he said in the same voice

"Stop." I strait faced him

"Ok, ok why you gotta be so rude!"

"Do not do my song!"

"I do what I wanna do." he said

"Whatever boy."

After we ate Markell and I walked around the mall talking and just getting to know each other. He's so different. He's funny but can still get serious. He's down to earth and even humble sometimes but he still doesn't take shit from no one. We flirt with each other here and there but nothing to serious. We were headed out the mall and his phone started to ring

"Hello?"

"...."

"I'm busy doing something."
He side eyed me cause I know what he really ment. Crazy ass.

"...."

"Aight." he hung up but I couldn't help bit notice a females picture pop up on his phone. A small wave a jealousy passed through me.

"Imma have to drop you off ok?"

"Yeah that's fine."

We made our way back to the group home and he gave me a big bear hug. I just melted.

"I'll see you later aight."

"Yeah."

And he was gone.
