"lia i'm headed to the market you coming?" wanda stood at the cracked door.
"uh, yes." The girl looked up from her book."well be ready by the time i finish my shower."
"Okay."
leaving the door wide open wanda walked back towards her room.
she finished the last bit of her chapter before putting the bookmark between the pages and standing.
walking towards her dresser grabbing underwear and a sports bra she made her way across the hall to the bathroom and started the shower.
after her cold shower, she dressed in a plain oversized grey sweater and blue ugg slippers before making her way downstairs pushing one of her curls behind her ear.
"you ready?" wanda asked walking down the stairs minutes later seeing aulia sitting at the bar playing with her fingers.
aulia nodded standing up walking behind wanda towards the door.
"you seem quiet.." wanda gave her a look unlocking the doors to her range rover.
"I'm okay." aulia assured putting a light smile on her face.
"have you decided what you want to do with life, ya know since your out of school."
aulia internally rolled her eyes, she dreaded this conversation being that what she did want to do with her life she knew her adoptive mother wouldn't approve of.
"uhm i have options." she shrugged beating around the bush.
"like?" wanda questioned stopping at the red light.
"aesthetician, tattoo artist or pediatric nurse." aulia looked out the window avoiding eye contact.
"tattoo artist?aesthetician?" wanda looked over at the girl crazily.
"it was just options." she shrugged trying to play it off.
"well i think you should scratch those off the list, those aren't guaranteed careers aulia."
"yeah." aulia trailed off wanting the conversation to end immediately.
they eventually made it to target making their way inside grabbing separate carts and going separate ways.
aulia made her towards the baby aisle grabbing every johnsons bedtime, vanilla oat, and sweet apple wash she could grab.
"nigga my son don't wear no damn pampers, we need these."
"pullups!? what's the fucking difference?"
aulia looked up and down the aisle seeing two boys by the diapers.
she never heard so many curse words in a sentence, it was surprising to hear eventually she came up with the idea that they probably weren't from here.
"they fa real niggas, unlike you."
aulia walked off the aisle going towards the grocery section picking up three boxes of fruity pebbles.
she eventually found wanda and trailed behind her while she continued to shop.
"we need anything else?" wanda asked aulia picking up Hawaiian rolls and placing them in the cart.
"no ma'am." aulia laid her head on the handle.
"aw thank you, young man i'm kinda short as you see." wanda laughed making aulia pop her head back up seeing the boys from earlier.
she and the boy made eye contact and held it for a second making her blush before he nodded towards wanda and walked off with his friend.
she turned her head to get another look seeing him already staring her down not turning to look away when she caught him.
"aulia come on."
she snapped out of her daze catching up with wanda.
