'I well.....you must understand
I...' God the man is physically sweating under Liams stare. 'Miss
Alexis, please accept my deepest apologizes.' He whispers to me
nearly crying. Jeez who the hell is Liam.
    'It's okay, I guess.' I mutter
embarrassed for him, the two ladies still in shock.
    'Please follow me and I will
personally assist you, if you would like?' He looks so desperate to
redeem himself, how can refuse.
    'That would be nice Henry. We
need everything and anything Miss Alexis desires, am I understood?'
Harold nods before he even finishes.

    Two whole hours later and more
money than I could ever imagine we finally leave the store, hand in
hand as Harold loads the car. I couldn't believe how nice I look in
my cream, chunky knit sweater, black skinny jeans with matching
knee high black boots that came with matching handbag. Like I need
a handbag, I have nothing to put in it yet apparently I needed a
lot of them. I am so pleased though I can't stop smiling.
    'Hair and makeup or Lunch next?'
He questions smiling down at me.
    'No more Liam, you have spent
more on me that anyone in my entire life. I am grateful don't get
me wrong but I feel like I am taking advantage, like your Mother is
right about me.' Like a whore I wanted to add but thought better of
it after last time.
    'Lexi baby I can more than
afford it.'
    'Just because you can doesn't
make it right.' I cut him off, standing my ground.
    'What isn't right is you
standing here in the street arguing with me...' He argues back.
'When all I want to do is make you smile.'
    'You don't have to spend money
to make me smile.' I fire back, a little insulted he would think
that.
    'Is it so wrong that I want to?'
He mumbles sadly. 'Did you not just call me your boyfriend in
there?' Shit, he even hear that too. I don't answer, I don't know
how to answer. Is he mad I called him that in front of people?
    'Is this not what boyfriends
do?' I am shocked and I am positive my face shows it.
    'You don't mind I called you
that to them?' I tilt my head to the side trying to suss him
out.
    'I would mind more if you
didn't.' He laughs 'Now girlfriend don't argue with your man.' He
kisses me quickly on the lips and I can't help but giggle at his
playful attitude and the fact he called me his girlfriend. I love
this mood he is in so I go along with it happily. Who wouldn't?
    It has been a wonderful day, I
can't believe how different I look. My once dirty blonde hair is
now light honey coloured, cut nice around my shoulders with soft
layers and a neat side fringe. I got make up that covers my bruises
and more that highlights my cheek bones. My lashes are long and
black fanning my eyes that are twinkling brightly, my lips look
full and soft pink. I am wearing a soft dusty pink cocktail dress
that reaches just above my knees and shows a little teaser of
cleavage. I have on matching heels that have a 4 inch heel and silk
ribbons that lace up around my calves.
    I feel like a movie star yet
deep inside the broken girl I truly am hides in fear of the dinner
I am dress up this nice for. Liam's Mother already hates me, like
what I am wearing is going to change that. I shake my head,
lowering it in disappointment, soft curls bouncing in my face. Its
now or never.
    'Lexi are you ready babe?' Liam
shouts nearing the bedroom. He stops at the doorway, his jaw
hanging down.
    'Wow........you look just wow.'
He clears his throat.
    'So do you.' I reply nervously
and god does he. He is wearing a slate grey suit that matches his
eyes with a black shirt and tie, I have seen him in a shirt before
but it still takes my breath away.
    'Ready to leave?' He asks and I
can only nod, to busy drooling over him.
    Bring it on, I think to
myself.
