"Thank you for shopping at Michele." I smiled handing the customer her shopping bag.
She flashed me a smile before she walked out just then my phone rang.
I got up and picked it up from the counter, Bruno 💕. I quickly answered before I got a handful again.
"Hey baby." I said. "I like the sound of that." He responded, I could already feel him smirking. "You free tonight?" He asked. My eyes widened... I wasn't free, but this was Bruno. I bit my lip in deep thought, I already said yes to my date with Kenny. "No. I'm not, family problems." I lied. "Damn! Again?" He groaned, I could tell he was getting pissed. "I'm sorry..." I grimaced fiddling with the documents in front of me. "Man... I guess I'll just have to go on my own then." I frowned, I didn't mean to let him down. But I promised Kenny first.
"Bruno?" I said as the line went silent.
I pulled my phone away and groaned, my phone shut off. I just knew that I was gonna get an earful. I sat my phone down and in came Dina all bubbly and shit, her attitude made me pull my face in confusion.
"What has you all happy?" I chuckled watching her place her bag down on the counter.
"A little birdie told me- okay I'm lying, mom told me you have a boyfriend." She grinned making me frown.
"Oh my god." I shook my head sucking my teeth. "He's not my boyfriend-"
"Ah huh! So there is a man!"
"Agh!" I groaned slouching as I turned around.
"At least she told me. When were you even gonna tell me about this dude? Mom said he's cute." She squealed.
"Can you two mind y'all business." I groaned.
"No!" She confidently shook her head, "that dress is cute." She pointed, "you have a size 4 in that?"
"You fit into a size 4?" I raised my eyebrows looking at her.
She stared at me sucking her teeth, "gimme the size 4." She scolded.
I shrugged looking through the sizes before handing her the size 4. She took it from me and walked towards the fitting rooms. I took out the size 6 just in case and placed it down on the counter. A couple minutes passed and she finally came out. The look on her face I knew all too well, I smacked my lips and held the size 6 up to her. She came over and snatched the dress from me.
"Y'all sizes are too damn small." She scolded tossing the size 4 onto the counter before she turned back around and walking into the fitting rooms again.
I giggled once she was out of my sight. ______________________
