"Ana?" Pammy called me
"Yes ma'am" I answered
"How do I look on this?" She comes out with a red gown that stops on her knee.
"Wow. You look pretty" I coo. "Who is going out today" I smirked
"You mean, who am I going out with today"
"Ouuuuuu.... you're going out huh? Thought you were testing it for someone" I laughed.
"Idiot. Wrap this cloth. I'm buying it" she said, removing it
"With your salary?"
"No. With yours" she frowned. "Jessica said I can pick it anyway just for the date. She's paying"
"How come I'm the only one not aware of this so called date stuff" I frowned
"You were sick bitch. I wanted you to get better''
"Well, look at me now. Don't I look better?" This girl is something else
"Cally"
"He's here? What happened to him" I looked around
"It's Cally. He's my...."
"Date! Oh fuck! I'm such a good matchmaker" I yelled
"You didn't do shit" she blushed
"Fierce Pammy is blushing! You have it bad for him" I licked my lips
"Ew! Get away" she pushed me
"Get going. I'll fill in for you" I smiled widely
"Thanks hun" she hugged me
"Show him what you gat lady! I need good news" I yelled and she raised her middle finger.
I arranged my desk for few minutes, serve coffee to Mr collins and Jessica. We talked about her date and damn it was romantic. It went well. I went back to my desk to resume work
I keep working for an hour or so and finally the places gets less crowdy. I sit to rest but then I hear a familiar voice. A voice I recognize well. Voice that taunted me for years now.
"Hey lady, I need to pay for this with my credit card" a male voice said.
"Daddy I want ice cream please" a girl cries out. "Pretty please. Nanny won't let me have ice creams cos I finished a plate in two days." The girl pouts
"Fine. Go wait in the car" he sighed, looking very stressed already.
"Thanks dad. I love you" she pecked him and ran back to the car, I guess.
"Sorry miss for keeping you. You know how kids are when they want something from their parents" He chuckled.
When did he become responsible.
"I wouldn't know cos I never grew up with my family, Mr Kyle."
Yessss! My dad
"Excuse me? How do you...."
I raised my face up... "Nice to meet you again Sir. Can I have the credit card?" I hold back my urge to punch him and my urge to cry.
He fucking has a beautiful daughter and a happy family. And mind you...he looks much older now.
"Stesia darling. I've missed you. Your mum kept haunting me in my sleeps. I've been empty. Daddy is a changed..."
"Sorry sir. Your card please. I don't think I'm your daughter. I'm an orphan." I said.
"Please darling, don't treat me this way. Can we just talk?" He tried to touch me and I shift back.
"Card please. Dont touch me, I'm useless remember?" I laughed and take the card from him.
I feel like someone is looking at me but when I look around, I don't see anybody at all.
Can today get any worse?
"Here Sir...you have a lovely scarless daughter anyway." I smiled with my teary eyes
"Here is my card" he drops it and I don't touch it.
I see someone in a hoodie pass. I only see his eyes. When did we start getting weird people in this boutique.
I sit back down and tried to close my eye but a voice interrupts me again
"Ana!!!!" Dave yelled
Oh my little one
"My love" I let him come in to hug me. "Who did you come with?"
"Them" he groaned and points at Chris and Taylor.
"Hey bitch!" Taylor says
"Welcome" I smile sweetly and she frowned
"So you didn't die" Chris mumbled.
"Cos I serve a living God" I smiled sweetly.
"I'll pick my brother up when I'm done shopping with my girlfriend" Chris smiled.
"Sure. More cash for me." I smiled back. "Sweetheart I've missed you. How have u been?"
"I missed you too. Chris don't stay at home often. He doesn't even eat. I just got back for holiday few days ago. Mum and dad went on business trip" he explained
"Ohhh. Here, have my phone" I smiled and give it to him. "When I'm done with my exam, I'll come pick you up to stay with me." I smiled and ruffled his hair
"How do you cope with reading and work" he asked
"My dear, I'm trying." I smiled
Damn! I'm good at smiling. I deserve an award.
After one hour of selling and all that, my shift was finally over and it was another set.
"Hey Tris" He pecked me and I smiled
"Hey anny" he said to me while I hold Dave by his hand
"Where is your brother" I face palmed myself. I mean, you want me to take the kid home? Who shops for more than an hour.
"Any problem?" Chris finally shows up
"Hope you bought the boutique too" I bid dave goodbye and take my phone back from him. I gave him to use play game or anything.
"Love you" He said and I smiled
"Love you too"
"Let's go anny" Tristan holds my waist and I see Chris frowned and washes it off immediately
"Goodbye" I said to Dave once more
Tristan and I leave the boutique. He drops me off at my apartment and we discuss about our partnership on the trip shit and he goes home. I sit to think about my dad...I bring out the card and look at it before throwing it in my trouser.
I honestly don't know how I feel about seeing him. Why will he come back now? Oh look he got himself a lovely daughter. A beautiful offspring from a wicked mother. I cry bitterly. I don't cry because I'm weak, I cry because I've been struggling to survive right from birth. I cry myself to sleep.

The mother freaking dad that abandoned his child
Did he grow three heads now? 😕
Anyway, did Ana notice someone on hoodie?? Wow wow
