Truly Sincere [Part 1]

"get up! We're going shopping" Alex stood there in her sun dress and I was laying down on the bed with the mask on my face wearing bathrobe

"No we're relaxing here, come on hop in" I said munching on strawberries

"We have a lot of baby shopping to do" Alex said annoyingly when I didn't move an inch from bed

"As my maid of honor, it's your duty to go on shopping with me" Alex sat down next to me as she tapped the mask on my face and sniffed her finger tips "it smells yummy"

"Strawberry and milk goat" I said

"Please" Alex pleaded with her grey puppy eyes and I flared at her

"Fine, I'll wash my face and get dressed up" I got up from bed and Alex squealed playfully clapping her hands

"Just tell me when you're tired, Harry would kill me" Alex said after buying a hat only which I'm sure she won't wear at her wedding and baby won't even fit in that for next eighteen years, we entered third shop

"I'm fine, just feed me afterwards okay" I laughed and she giggled disappearing into the forever twenty one section, I sighed as I followed her, I walked pass by the cute tops while touching them silently telling myself I won't be able to fit in those ever again

"Look at this one" Alex squealed as holding a tank top with the shredded shoulders which said kill me softly

"You aren't gonna wear this on your wedding, are you?" I laughed

"But I'm getting this, it's cute" Alex said in a fetch accent and I almost scrunched my nose, she disappeared into another aisle and I stood there like a goof, I walked into another aisle and looked for some decent clothing and found none

"Jasmin!" A feminine voice called my name and I had to turn around, a young girl standing there wearing denims her hair in bun and liner on fleek

"Yes" I said, squinting my eyes analyzing her profile

"I'm Hala, I knew you wouldn't recognize me" she threw her arms at me and I hugged her back

"Of course I didn't recognize you, you're all grown up" I smiled at her silently thinking to myself that I grew up in the right time, I can't even imagine this amount of makeup on my face in my teenage years

"It's been so long" she said, of course it is, since I broke up with your brother, our families almost went apart, but my mother couldn't stay away from her cousin or their kids, I had to rebel against everyone, I'm surprised that she's glad to see me

"Yeah it is, how's aunt Amber?" I asked the only  conversation I can keep on going that moment

"She's fine, actually she's really happy, Ray got out of the prison, just six months ago" she said and her dark eyes looked at me, the way Rayyan's do

"Oh! Okay" I dropped the shirt from my hand which I nervously held at the mention of her brother's name

"Oh let me.." she quickly jumped forward to pick the shirt up and she looked at my belly "you're pregnant, congratulations" her face wore off instantly but she managed to keep a smile, what an actress

"Thank you" I smiled as she hung the shirt back in stand

"Let's go bitch" two teenage girls same of her age called her from behind and I raised my eyebrows in judgement, pregnancy hormones really makes you want to babysit everyone and teach them basic manners

"It was nice seeing you Jasmin, I gotta go now" she gave a last hug before leaving

"Hey! Let's check out" Alex came holding lots of unnecessary stuff, she didn't aim to get those before, but that's how Alex's shopping goes
