I tried on each dress, having Jay judge each dress and item I had. He had me walk up and down the hallway with each dress, posing and strutting. After around 30 minutes of debating back and fourth we decided on the silver dress, I kept it on but switched out the jewelry.

Straightening my hair and fixing the scarf I chose. Hiding away the small bruises on my neck, I sighed rubbing my arm. I heard a light knock on the door and I looked back, Jay walked in holding a long white and gray fur coat

" To match"

He bowed and I laughed grabbing it, lifting it up and looking at it. My nerves throbbed when I heard a door slam, I clenched the jacket in my arms looking at Jay. He sighed

" Elli is back..."

" Where'd he go?"

" To his brother's house.."

" O- Oh"

My body tensed. I quickly put the fur robe on and rushed over to the heels, looking back at Jay picking up a shoe from each pair

" O- Uh... W- Which one did we choose again?"

" The silver ones with the red bottoms, Ms. White"

" Oh! Right!"

I quickly sat down and began wrapping the straps up my legs. The door opened and I jumped seeing Elli standing there, fixing the collar on his shirt. He looked down at me and froze, stepping back with a smirk on his face

" Look at you, you actually look like you have money... Ms. Fawn"

" Hey!-

" C'mon. We're running late"

" Wha- I didn't even finish my makeup"

" You look fine.."

I stood up after I fixed my heel. I sighed standing an inch taller than Elli. I smiled, seeing his face. Putting my hands on my hips, turning to the side

" Do I look rich enough?"

" Yes.. Now let's go"

I sighed, looking back at Jay. Quickly rushing to him, giving him a hug. Stepping back, I looked at him smiling.

" Thank you"

" No problem Ms. White"

" It's Liz..."

He nodded at me, Elli grabbed ahold of my arm softly. Steadily pulling me, I turned towards him smiling softly

" Alright, let's go.."

We walked into the restaurant, the smell of champagne and flowers lingered through my nose. The bruises on my neck made me paranoid but I felt at ease with Elli

I looked back at Elli and he nudged me forward, I began walking slowly. Looking at the ground, now feeling uncomfortable and out of place.

" Keep your head up, it shows confidence. Keep your back straight, shows dominance... Also, we date when in public and around family"

I looked over at Elli and he cracked a smile at me, my stomach and chest flipped. I smiled back, after he looked forwards I continued to stare at his side profile

His broken nose and small facial scars made him look all more intimidating. But when he smiled he was a different person, his light brown skin glowed in the dim light and his dark curly hair bounced slightly as he walked
