Chapter 59: The Mall Fun

Bianca kissed mama’s cheek and thanked her for all that she’d done so far for her. “If you’d like I’d love to get your shopping list and do the shopping while I’m out and after I drop off the girls I’ll come back before I have to get home and drop it off.” Mama gave her the list and Bianca made her way to the front door with mama right behind her. “Now be safe Bianca dear I will see you later and maybe we can chat a bit longer?” she asked. “I’ll see what I can do” and with that Bianca was out the door and back to the truck. Mama stood at the top of the steps and watched as Bianca drove down her driveway and back onto the country line rd. “That poor girl, if there was only something else, I could possibly do for her” Mama said as she strolled back inside and finished the rest of her breakfast.
Bianca rode in silence down the road with the girls talking amongst themselves and Nevaeh ever so often touching Bianca’s leg and watching her as she smiled and gave her a little wink. As they all sang and seemed to cheer up Bianca the more they got closer to the mall. “Nevaeh can you please look at the binder here and tell me what time the first appointment is at and where please?” she asked as she looked at Joy, Amanda, and Stephanie in her rearview mirror. The girls just looked back at her with a smile and a “what the fuck…” look on their faces. “None of that shit girls I just want have a good day with no drama for once please. I will be laying down some ground rules when we get to the mall and before we head in so just be ready” she warned. The girls laughed and replied “Yes mother we understand” Nevaeh laughed out loud and looked at the girls. “You guys are great and this is the best day I’ve had in a while thanks for letting me tag along.” Joy, Amanda, and Stephanie just looked at her with their eyebrows raised like “ummm like we have a choice, it’s Bianca’s day after all” and with that Nevaeh looked to Bianca. “Bianca the first appointment’s 11:15 at Niemen Marcus” she said. Bianca looked at the clock “Shit 8 minutes to get there” she put her foot to the peddle knowing she had 5 minutes to still get there and then to find a parking space.
3 minutes later Bianca was in the parking lot of the “Great Connecticut Mall”, as she drove up and down every isle she was hoping and praying that just one would be free. Just as Amanda yelled from the back “hey there is one right up next to handicapped someone just pulled out and I don’t see anyone coming so get your ass to the spot like I know you can BB.” Bianca almost jumped out of her skin with all yelling and excitement. She gunned so fast that she almost couldn’t stop, she turned the corner and right into the spot. Just in time to before some hungry ass was coming from the other end to take it. She put it park and put her head to the wheel. “Thank goodness, but now I only have 2 minutes to get to Neiman on time so lets’ hurry our asses and we’ll talk later about the rules” she said as she slammed the door and waited for the rest to get out.
Once all was out, she armed the truck and ran ahead of them to get inside to get to the middle floor and to the store before her ass was in trouble later. Exactly 2 minutes and 10 seconds later she was inside Neiman and gasping for breath, the woman coming towards her smiled. “You must be Bianca, and right on time” she said reaching her hand out to her. Bianca tried to catch her breath “Yes sorry it’s a mad house…. out there today sorry for being 30 seconds late”, “No problem it happens and I’m Mrs. Kosville I’ll be trying to help you find the dresses or dress you are looking for. I’ve already spoken to your father, and all this set up to be paid for when and if you decide to choose a dress from here. With that lets get started, go ahead take a look around let me know what you find and I’ll be back in a few minutes to help you out” she said before disappearing.
A few minutes later the rest of the gang arrived to find Bianca searching through some amazing dresses. Bianca looked around to face all the girls and noticed that Nevaeh was missing. “Jesus what did you girls do to Nevaeh? Where is she so help me god if you said something your asses are so in trouble and I really don’t have time for the drama” she warned. They all scowled at her and Stephanie was the brave one to speak up “We didn’t do anything we actually think she’s pretty awesome and well she’s totally got it bad for you”, “oh god damn it she does not she’s just my friend and who cares if she does just get over it and move on. I am trying to just get this dresses picked out so we can have some fun together before tonight” Bianca said cutting her off. Bianca stopped her thoughts from coming out even more and started looking through more dresses. When she came to the last and final rack and only 1 dress picked out to try on, she was dumb struck by the 3rd to last dress that was amazing, and it was made for an angel.
It was a long and fitted deep burgundy dress with Swarovski crystals sowed into the dress in all the right spots and a split just long enough on the side. She was in a day, dream when Mrs. Kosville had come a long side her and gasped. She saw the dress in Bianca’s hand and her holding it up to herself. “My goodness if that’s not the most amazing looking dress for your skin tone and figure, you must try it on” she demanded. Mrs. Kosville escorted her to the fitting rooms and hung up the two dresses for her and closed her inside the room with the dresses. Bianca sat down on the bench and looked at herself in the mirror and unable to believe that the shower from the morning and the foundation and makeup she had applied throughout the day had actually, did a very good job in hiding all the bruises on her face. “Without all this makeup I might as well be a damned monster geez this is just nuts” she thought to herself.
Bianca slowly began to undress and when she was completely undressed she heard a knock at the dressing room door. “Umm someone is in here right now” Bianca said. “oh I know hun it’s just me Mrs. Kosville wanted to make sure you didn’t need any help..” she said softly through the door. “Oh, no I’m fine sorry just taking my time don’t want to ruin the dresses…” she admitted giving a little laugh. Once all the cloths were off, she slowly took the first dress off the hanger. It was a deep midnight blue dress with what looked like to be glitter throughout it. It was also a very short dress more of a cocktail one which Marco had wanted one of the dresses to be. Joy, Stephanie, and Amanda where all waiting for Bianca to show off the dresses so after 5 minutes of no show they all started knocking on the door. “Come on out hot stuff lets’ see that amazing amazon body of yours” they begged with a soft. “My god give a girl a second please trying to stuff everything in their spots, if you don’t mind” Bianca said as she finally slowly opened the door and stepped out.
They were all standing there starring at her like a piece of meat on a platter, “You are so freaking hot in that, and if Ty don’t want to get up under that I don’t see you having a problem with anyone else wanting too” Joy said as the girls started busting out laughing. Bianca gave a little turn around for them to get a good look at everything and when she did she regretted when she knew that the zipper wasn’t all the way up. Her hair was now up in a bun so that her hair wouldn’t get stuck in the zipper. The girls made a “OMG” sound and Bianca turned back around. “Hey it’s nothing just forget what you saw I really don’t want to get into it because there’s nothing to say so shhh and just move on….” she begged.
Bianca headed back into the dressing room and slowly took off the dress, “Damn it I can’t believe I was stupid enough to forget to take down my hair so that it would cover up the exposed part of my back and the back of my legs” she chastised herself. She slowly hung the dress back on the hanger and slowly slipped on the other dress that had the zipper on the side instead of the back so she was able to do it all the way up. This time she let her hair down and made herself look presentable. She opened the door once more and even before she was completely out of the room all the girls including Mrs. Kosville were almost in tears. “This is so the dress for this evening and you’ll be turning heads all night” the girls said. “Okay good now to get back into my normal cloth so we can move to the next store would be great” she said as she headed back into the dressing room and slowly repeated the process.
