“Crescent stall” Nisha yells her eyes in awe as she looks at the name in the distance alluring, making our choice for us.
Stepping through the crowd we head through the glass doors.
The smell of the place is divine; it’s a clothes store and I’m guessing Nisha’s favorite as she runs into the store touching every piece she walks by.
“Good day ma’ anything you have in mind?” A girl in the store wearing a cap and t-shirt that states crescent asks.
“Not really I’ll check around” she smiles waving me in and that’s exactly what I do, I walk through the store and the clothes racks high so I couldn’t find Nisha hoping she stops daydreaming and returns soon.
I walk through the racks. The clothes looking beautiful and really expensive.
Seeing a beautiful green gown that calls to me one I’m sure will match my emerald necklace touching the fabric underneath my fingers, it’s soft and silky underneath my finger tips, about to remove the gown for closer inspection, I feel a tug at the other end.
Pushing the gown aside I see a red-haired lady’s hand on it.
She must also want the gown I let it go sure I’ll find something else.
“Hey” She calls out to me.
“Hey ” I smile pleasantly, peering at the gown in her hand.
“The gown won’t fit, I’m a small size but it would look perfect on you,” She says, placing the gown in my hand.
She had a nice small with high cheekbones and brown eyes scaring she reminds me of another version of myself that’s not thick.
“Thank you-.
“You really should tell me before leaving” A voice that makes my heart skip says.
His eyes trail from my leg up to my face, his eyes flaring in recognition.
“Hailey… He trails.
“Hey Dim. Dimitri” my voice catches in my throat.
“Hailey wow you” Stopping in his tracks he looks at the dark-haired lady.
“Ehmm this is Aella my girlfriend, Aella, Hailey ” he introduces.
“Oh, thank goddess” Nisha breathes entering the scene.
“I thought I lost you”
“Yeah umm ” I made an effort to talk but couldn’t find my voice.
“Hi” Aella waves.
“Hey I’m Nisha” she smiles politely motionless, looking at the three of us, the awkwardness of the situation stretching.
“Hi Nisha, Dimitri has spoken about you, Hailey nice to finally meet you ” Aella replies feeling the same awkwardness that is contagious and spreading even to Nisha.
“So we’ll leave you to it” Wrapping his hand around her waist possessively, they turn around and leave.
“Woah what was that about? ” Nisha says as I stare as they leave.
Why the hell do I still feel something for Dimitri? I should deny it, turn around, look at Nisha and say it’s nothing but I can’t bring myself to do it feeling a pang of jealousy.
“You okay?” Nisha asks, touching my shoulder.
“Yes it’s just me and Dimitri used to have a thing”
Nisha’s eyes twinkle as she hears this but she doesn’t press the matter.
Distracting me as we keep shopping for beautiful dresses then Nisha sees this beautiful dress that she wanted to try out.
When she feels it’s enough she leads me to a changing room where Dimitri is leaning outside and Nisha doesn’t see I ignore him entering the next room forcing myself to focus on the beautiful dresses and not the handsome hunk outside my door.
“That looks nice” Jumping I step far behind the wall as my chest hammers in my chest.To avoid an incomplete reading experience, visit Jobn’i’b.com. Unconsciously I had pulled the dress on the green one I and Aella had wanted.
“Dimitri you shouldn’t be here” I say pressing myself against the wall even though he’s at the foot of the dressing room his sweet scent fills the room making me weak in the knees the dark glow looks beautiful on him.
His t-shirt was tight on his huge muscles . I think I could count his abs on the rim.
“How have you been Hailey, it’s been a while, it seems you’re back with Jaden” he doesn’t meet my eyes.
“Coincidentally funny thing about faith” I say numbly.
“I don’t believe I’ll ever meet you again saying goodbye in Virginia so crazy how much can change in a short time”
He says stepping forward picking up the dress I had dropped and stretching his hand to me.
I take it his fingers graze on my knuckles, the sensation tingling at its tips he was closer now filling the small room.
“Yes, crazy your girlfriend seems… Not knowing what word to position her he looks at me amused.
“She’s nice” I finally found the word.
He blinks, his eyes darker and hooded.
“Yes she is nothing like you though “
in a way aside from the red hair and brown eyes.
‘The same rollercoaster ride is the same that got your mother killed’ Melissa’s warning replayed in my mind.
I take a deep breath and walk away from the wall we needed to seal this chapter.
I reach Dimitri and wrap my hands around his back resting my head on his chest.
He wraps his hand on my back and I relax into him.
Pulling back I hold his hand looking into his eyes.
“I’m glad we ended with the right ones” he looks a little dismayed and hurt but he smiles.
“I’m glad Hailey, tell Jaden he’s a lucky man and green is undoubtedly your color black not so much” he teases making me laugh.
“That’s the thing about time changes a person”
“I guess so see you around Hailey Stewarts”
“Goodbye Dimitri” With that said he walks away and I feel I and Dimitri’s love life has closed and a new friendship opens.
“Now you have to tell me what’s going on” Nisha says, stepping in just on cue.
I’m sure she had seen Dimitri leave.
“Handsome just left your changing room, Hailey, do you know who Jaden Perry is?” She jokes, her eyes dancing underneath her lashes.
“No, who’s that?” I reply by faking a pretense.
“Wear that gown back to the house I’m sure you’ll be reminded of.” she winks at me, I look at the mirror, and Dimitris’ right green is my color.
Then we proceed to wrap up our shopping. It was a bit late to do anything else so we decided to head back to the pack house.
