Chapter 23
An Actual Hug
Bex's P.O.V.
Eleven-years-old. I was eleven-years-old at last. Being eleven meant you had more power than when you were ten. You could be trusted me. I could trusted more.
For and elevnth birthday treat, Duncan took me shopping. Shopping? Duncan? I know. But, it was mom's idea. She wanted to go baby shopping with Bridgette that day. Obviously the babies were already more important than me. So, Duncan got to take me shopping for a new outfit for the premiere of 'Destiny'. He was gonna pay for it, too.
At the mall Duncan took me straight to this really, really, really expensive shop. It was super fancy and posh. I could instantly tell it was where all the snobby rich people came to shop for their casual clothes. I, on the hand, needed a dress for a simple world-wide premiere.
"Monsieur Duncan." I woman's voice called out. The old woman from behind the desk had spotted us and was making our way towards us. She waddling some sort of penguin walk. I had to hide my laughter with my hand. "My, my, you do not need another tuxedo, no?" He accent was proper French.
"No, no." Duncan pulled me forwrad and rested his hands on my shoulders. "My little girl needs a dress."
"Your little girl?" The woman seemed shocked. "La fin du monde est proche. Duncan Evers has a little girl." I didn't know what she said, but I don't think I want to know.
"Very funny, mon chere." The only thing I could think of was, 'Since when does Duncan speak French?'
"Come along little girl." I didn't like this woman. She was old and had an ugly face that was plastered in make-up. I mean, not even Heather wore that much on her face.
Duncan gave me a push forward and I reluctantly followed the woman to the back of the store. Everything was so elegant looking. UGH! I was gonna be made into a barbie doll, I could just see it coming.
"Sit, I'll be right back." I took a seat on a stool and I could see Duncan trying on different pairs of sunglasses in front on the mirror. "Here!" The woman thrust about ten black dresses into my arms and gave me a shove into the changing room.
I took a look through all of them. Ew. All of the dresses were black with sparkles or glitter or sequins and all I wanted to do was burn them.
"Hurry up little girl." I heard the woman say.
"Excuse me, miss." I said, trying to be nice. "I don't like these dresses, or any dresses for that matter." I poked my head around the curtain and the oldie looked like she was going burst.
"Little girl, the only clothes in this shop that are not dresses are the men's suits. So, I suggest you hush up and try on the dresses I have given you!" Then I was ready to burst. I slapped my self across the cheek and screamed out in pain.
"DADDY!" I cried, running to Duncan. I jumped inot his armas and he scooped me up onto his hip.
"Beck, what's wrong?" He asked.
"That lady hit me." I sniffled. My acting skills were just too good to tell they were fake. "I told her I didn't like the dress and she hit me."
"I did no such thing!" The woman yelled out, stomping her way over to me and Duncan. "I would never hit a child." Lucky for me my cheek was starting to burn red by then.
"Yeah, it looks like it." Duncan spat at her. He dropped me on the floor and led me out of the store. I turned around and stuck my tongue out at her, making sure Duncan didn't see me doing it. I loved getting my own way.
I told Duncan I didn't want to wear a dress and he understood. He told me I only had to tell him and we would have gone and gotten me some rocking clothes instead of a dress that made me wanna puke.
So, Duncan took me to this awesome shop. Yet again, an expensive one. He was all for flaunting his cash about. He bought me a wickedly cool white t-shirt that was covered in multi-colored stars. I got a jean jacket and a bunch of pins to attach to it. Duncan then bought me a pair of plain black skinny jeans, even though I told him a had about three pair already, he said he wanted to spoil me for my birthday. It was to make up for all the birthdays he'd missed out on. And, hey, I wasn't complaining. To finish off my outfit he got me custom made high-tops. They were rainbow ones to match my starry t-shirt.
Then, for an extra special treat, Duncan took me to this guy. I never realized how pervy that sounded until I said it aloud. Anyway, this guy specializes getting DVD's, CD's and games before they release in the shop. So, Duncan, knowing how much I loved my PS3 and Xbox, got me the new Call of Duty. It had only just been through testing that day. I was amazed. It wasn't gonna be on shelves for another six months!
I gave Duncan a hug. An actual hug. It was the first real hug I'd given him. He was a shocked as I was. All I could do was thank him over and over again.
Just before we got back to car, mom called us. She needed the two of us to go to the walmart to pick her up some medication stuff the doctor told her was good for the pain she was having.
I hated going to walmart. Well, shopping in general was, and still is, super boring. I've always hated it. I'm not a normal girl, I get it.
So, Duncan and I drove over to walmart. He sped off towards the isle where all the medication and junk was. I walked around a bit, trying to decided how to have fun.
I was having a hard time thinking of a prank because I could see no people around. In the end I decided to give up and go find Duncan. When I found him he was in a little pharmacy section of the store, trying to remember what mom had asked him for. Lucky for me there was a young couple also in that isle. I instantly knew how to have some fun.
The guy, who only looked about eighteen, was pushing a shopping cart around, looking as bored as me. His girlfriend was searching the shelves for something. I pretended to be looking at whatever was in front of me, but I was waiting for the boy to push the cart close enough.
The plan worked well for me because the girl even called her boyfriend over to her, leaving the cart unattended. I quickly brushed the whole shelf of condoms into the cart and walked over to Duncan. He had finally remembered what mom had asked for. As we were walking out the door I could hear the girl screaming, "AND DID YOU FUCKING THINK WE WERE GOING TO BE DOING TONIGHT?"
"Babe-"
"NO!" I looked over my shoulder to see the girl storming her way towards the exit and her boyfriend trailing after her, apologizing. The only thing I could do was laugh. Man, it felt good to prank people.
