Chpt.27

"Thanks for taking me shopping, Ariana. You have no idea how it is shopping by yourself." Livy smiled, looking up at Indira, who she knew as Ariana.

"It's no problem. I think it's lucky that you and your father were on a mission here while I was as well." Indira smiled. The two were in a mall in Paris, and Jason and Livy happened to run into Indira earlier. Sure, Indira and Jason might have arranged for their "coincidental" meeting, but Livy didn't know that. Jason was pleased that Livy would be spending some mother daughter time with Indira, however he was concerned when Indira would actually tell Livy the truth. How long did she plan to not tell her own daughter that she was alive?

Jason bit back the words, and promised to never be the one to tell Livy who Ariana really was. That conversation was completely up to Indira.

"Oh, this one would look beautiful on you." Indira grinned, holding up a purple dress that dipped down in the front to reveal ample cleavage.

Livy chuckled, but averted her eyes from the dress.

"I think I'm missing an accessory to go with that." she half-laughed.

"Boobs don't make a dress, Bajita."

"Heh. They sure help." Livy chuckled, but then froze. "Wait… what did you just call me?"

"Huh?" Indira questioned.

"Just now? Did you just… call me Bajita?"

"Yes, I heard your father call you that and thought it was a fitting nick name." Indira informed cooly.

"It means short one." Livy giggled. "How does that fit me, I'm taller than you."

"Only by a few inches." Indira debated, and Livy just rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. You're so weird." Livy then looked at a blue dress. "What do you think of this one?"

"It's cute, but it hardly shows off your chest. You do know that you are going to need this dress to attract some rich people. Rich play boys love them some tits." Indira smirked and Livy just rolled her eyes.

"Well, I just so happen to not be particularly endowed in that area. However, I do have a wonderful ass, which this dress looks like it will hug very nicely." Livy debated. Indira chuckled.

"That you do." Indira remembered when she was young and the gang would make teasing jokes about her big butt. That was something Livy had inherited from her.

Livy tried on the blue dress but it didn't fit her right.

"I hate dress shopping." She grumbled.

"Don't you worry, Bajita. We will find you the perfect dress that will have every man at this party drooling over you."

"Yeah, but who knew that finding a slutty yet classy dress would be so hard. I need to be pretty enough to be kidnapped." Livy sighed and Indira smirked at her.

"You could wear whatever you want and be drop dead gorgeous."

"Aww, you're too kind, Ariana." Livy rolled her eyes with a smirk. Indira laughed, but then her eye was snagged by red fabric. She turned around to see a red dress very similar to the type of dress the gang had bought her when she was young.

"Hey, Livy, how about you try on this?" Livy looked at it and smiled a bit.

"Nice find, Ariana." Livy smiled, happy that the dress didn't have a low v-neck like the others but it would definitely show off her hips.

Livy tried it on and smiled at how she looked.

"I think this one's a keeper." Livy smiled and Indira grinned.

"Happy I could be of help. Now, since you have some time before your mission, let's get some food. I know a little café that has the best Croque Monsieur." Indira grinned, and Livy paid for the dress, then followed the woman.

At the café the two ate and talked. Even though Livy didn't make much of it, just a fun day spent with a good friend, Indira had different feelings. She loved that day, and she wished that she could have more days like it.

Indira was able to spend time with her daughter, and that is something she always cherishes when she has the time.
