When life gives you lemons

Pizza hut and Gifts

Some minutes later we arrived at the mall. Pulling into the parking lot, lose control by Missy Elliot started to play on the radio. We sung along as Mya searched for a parking spot.

"Love weave!"

"Sew it in."

"Say it again!"

"Sew it in."

"Make that money, throw it in."

"Booty bouncing gone head...."we loved this song because our mom would play it all the time picking us up from school. And with this song playing the ride home was always fun.

After a while we managed to find a parking spot. It wasn't close to the entrance doors, because there was so many people here today. We made our way into the building, I was excited. I loved this mall so much, it had so many shops to choose from and so many fun things to do here. And Mya was with me which made this mall trip even better. I loved spending time with my twin, and now was the perfect time to do so. We had so much time to catch up on.

"So, what first?" I asked looking around at the multiple stores that surrounded us. "Well, I wasn't to grab something to eat and drink first, so we won't be tired walking around the mall." She insisted. I nod my head in agreement. "Where should we go?" I question walking up to the mall map to search for places to eat."hmmm, how about here?" She'd selected a Coney island on the second floor. It was the perfect choice because I'd been craving some Coney fries for a while now.

After we made our way to the Coney island we'd seen that the line was super long so decided to choose somewhere else to eat. I felt a little bummed, I'd really had my taste buds on eating chili cheese fries but we were hungry and didn't feel like waiting. We then went to the closest food outlet which was Pizza hut. It was okay, I didn't care for their pizza much but I did enjoy their bread sticks so that's what I chose to eat. As for Mya, shed gotten a slice of pizza along with some bread sticks as well. When we received our food, we took a seat at a table by the window far from others to chat privately.

"So mya," I began to speak."anyone interesting in your life?" I ask wiggling my eyebrows, curiously. She laughed shaking her head."I'm serious my, I know someone is interested. I just know it." I insisted. Amya is beautiful, she had an amazing smile that was contagious to anyone, along with deep dimples that I found adorable. As well as the body of a super model with deeply defined curves. Her eyes shined bright, and he should was just as beautiful, if not even more. She was definitely an eye catcher. All around she was the best person anyone could ask for.

She rolled her eyes playfully. "Well, there is this one guy...." She trailed off looking down at her food. I stayed silent waiting for her to continue. "His name is Dante, we'd been talking for a while now, it been a year and some months." she turned a shade darker, indicating that she was blushing. I was surprised, not because she was talking to someone, but because she was blushing. I'd never seen her blush before, it was funny. Someone had my sis in it deep. "Shut up! Seriously!!??"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I never knew about my's love life much after I left. Last time I'd seen her romantically involved with someone was in high school. I thought her and her ex, Jordan would be highschool sweethearts. They started dating in tenth grade and  were so cute together. But unfortunately he'd cheated on her and broken her heart after she told him she wanted to wait to have sex until she was ready, but he couldn't wait. Hed left her for the bitch he cheated on her with the day before they graduated.

Mya was devastated and didn't even show up to our graduation ceremony. So mom and I went to the school with her the next day to pick up her certificate. The whole situation made her depression worse and she'd almost taken her life. Mir and I had cought her trying to overdose on pills and had mom rush her to the hospital. Thankfully, we'd made it in time and got her the help she needed before it was too late. After that she told me that she couldn't see herself dating again. And I understood completely. Im just happy that she took a chance in love again, because I didn't want her to be alone for the rest of her life and deep down I know she didn't either.

I smiled. "I'm so proud of you my, you've over come alot. I hope he makes you happy." I couldn't help the tiny feeling of sadness overcome me. "Although I'm kinda sad I didn't know this sooner." I said, a small frown apparent on my face, I wish she would have told me about him. But im a little disappointed in myself as well. I wish I'd been more involved, just because we were miles away didnt give myswlf an excuse not the check on my family and see how their lives were going. "I know but I just didn't want to tell any of you about him untill I was sure about him. Your the only one who knows of him now." I nodded. I understood exactly what she meant. With everything that happened with Jordan, she didn't want it to happen again with Dante. She'd brought Jordan home to meet the whole family, which turned out great. He's convinced us the they were gonna be together forever. He even said that he could see himself having a family with her someday. But it was all lies, he'd just used her because of our family's name and money.

She was just taking precautions and I couldn't blame her for it. I understand and respect her decisions. "So have you told him how you feel about having sex?" I asked as I munched on my bread. She swallowed her food before answering. "Yeah," she paused. "And?" I asked waiting for her answer. "He said that he understands and respects what I want. And that he doesn't want me to ever feel bad or any type of way for him waiting on me." She was smiling brightly. I could tell she was truly happy with dante. And I was happy that she was happy. "I'm so happy for you my, so when will I meet him." I asked knowing the answer already. She'd hesitated before answering. "Honestly, I don't know Mira. I'd love for you to meet him eventually but we're taking things slow, feeling each other out before we introduce family". And with that she'd finished her food. "Okay, but don't wait too long I want to see if he looks a good as he sounds." I joked finishing my food as well. "Trust me, he is". She winked. I laughed.

"Okay well you ready to shop boo?" I ask getting out of my seat to throw our trash away. "Hell yes, let's go!"

We left the food court satisfied with our meals. Amya pulled out her card and smiled  almost wickedly.

"Let the fun begin."

Amya and I went around the mall going store to store picking out clothes and accessories that we wanted.  We'd already bout some thing from Gucci, Pink, and Victoria Secret. Our next stop was foot locker. I open the door and was greeted my an employee and the smell of fresh shoes, a smell my siblings and i loved.

We browsed the shop looking for foot wear we wanted. I'd been searching for a while trying to find something that would catch my eye but, I couldn't find anything I wanted in here. I wasn't much of a sneaker person, I enjoyed heels and flats more, but Mya and Mir loved them. Thinking of him I found two pairs of shoes I know my brother would like and went to the check out where Mya had already finished purchasing her items. I waited for the cashier to scan the shoes, then paid for them before leaving.

I couldn't wait to see his reaction to my gifts for him. I'd made a mental note to purchase a gift for Mya as well, although It would be challenging. I didn't want her to see what i was going to get her, so I had to be sneaky.

As we strolled around the mall, we'd passed  a pet shop, then it hit me. My had always said how she wanted a pet, preferably a puppy. She loved all types of animals. I remember how she told out mom she wanted a puppy,one year, but she couldn't afford it then. I smiled happily know what I was gonna give her as a gift. As much as I wanted to get the pup now I couldn't because she would see it. So I had no choice but to come back tomorrow.
