"Come on, Cynthia, I really don't want to be here. You know I hate shopping," she said leaning on the rackets.

"Oh, Lils, please, here, try this on. You'll look really cute in it," she said holding up a coffee brown dress. "Maybe Bruce will invite you to the party on Saturday. So, now you have something to wear."

Lily rolled her eyes and snatched the dress from her hands. "Where's the dressing room?"

Cynthia smiled. "Right over there," she said pointing at the back of store.

"Thanks," she mumbled.


Bruce walked around the mall and stopped a jewelry store and saw a beautiful pearl necklace. I'm sure Lily would look beautiful in this. He smiled and went into the store.

"May I help you sir?" asked the jeweler.

"Yes, I would like to buy that pearl necklace on the window," he said pulling out his credit card.

"Of course, sir."

"Can you put a bow on the box?"

"Of course, sir," he said putting a string with bow around the jewelry box. "Here you are, sir."

"Thank you," Bruce said, leaving the store.


"How does it look on you, Lils?"

"OK, but I don't know if brown is my color."

"Let me see."

Lily opened the door and found a shocked Cynthia. "Lils, you look stunning. You are absolutely wrong. Brown is definitely your color."

Lily smiled. "Yeah?"

"Absolutely, take it off, so we can buy."

"K," she said.

Lily and Cynthia were in the counter paying their dresses when they heard a scowl behind them.

"Look, Didi, it's the lard and her bodyguard."

"Listen, my Bruce is going to be mine and there's nothing you can do about it, lard," said Diana getting in her face.

"Really, why don't you ask your Bruce who he was with last night?" Lily said defending herself for the first time, pushing her back.

"Why you little…."

"Diana!" said a voice behind them. Lily, along with the other three, was shocked to see Bruce in the store.

"Uh, Bruce, baby, how are you?" said Diana going to him trying to kiss his cheek, but he pulled away. "What's wrong you usually like the kisses that I give you, especially the ones that I give you at night," she said seductively, smirking at Lily.

Lily just rolled her eyes and grabbed her shopping bag, leaving the store with Cynthia behind her.

Bruce tried to call after her, but she was already gone.

"Let her leave, Bruce. Oh, is that present for me?!" she said taking the box out of his hands. She gasped when she opened it seeing the pearl necklace. "It's beautiful!"

Bruce growled and took the box from her hands. "It's not for you it's for, Lily. Please, Diana stay away from me and especially stay away from her," he snapped getting out of the store and going after Lily.

"Lils, wait," Cynthia said, holding her arm. "Don't listen to that slut. She's just trying to make your life miserable."

"Beautiful!" Lily turned to see Bruce running after her. "Beautiful, I'm sorry for what Diana said back there."

"It's alright; we should get going come on Cynthia."

"No, wait, I'd like to give you this." Lily gave him a questionable look and opened the box.

"Bruce, you shouldn't have," she exhaled.

"I thought of you when I saw it."

"It's lovely."

"I thought you should wear for the party I'm having on Saturday," he said giving her two tickets.

"Bruce, I don't know what to say."

"Say yes and be my date."

Lily looked at Cynthia, who was almost jumping in excitement. "Alright," she whispered.

"Good, be there or I'll have a search party for you," he teased.

Lily giggled. "We'll be there."

Bruce smiled. He couldn't help but think how sweet the girl was. "I'll see then, Beautiful," he said kissing her hand.

Lily watched him go like a sick puppy dog. Cynthia squealed in excitement, "See I told you he'll invite, Beautiful," she imitated in Bruce's deep voice. Lily laughed as Cynthia pulled her to a shoe store, chattering about new shoes.


"God Lori, that fat bitch is going to get what she deserves," she said pacing up and down their apartment floor.

"Don't worry, Didi, she will. Mario and I, have a plan to humiliate that lard," she laughed.

Diana smiled and sat next to Lorena. "Tell me."

"You'll see at the party. I heard Bruce Wayne invited the lard to the party. I promise you Didi, she will pay dearly."

"You better hope so," Diana said.
