Chapter 34 - Chapter 34: A Second Life

"Really, Vee? This is where you decide to take me?"

"Yeah. What did you expect? For me to book out the Diamond Walk so you can try on watches?"

I jolt back. "Jesus, woman. Talk about a wet dream."

Vuyi playfully rolls her eyes, pulling my hand to follow her in. "Come on, fancy pants. You said I could pick anywhere to take you shopping as long as you get to do the same."

I stop in my tracks, right outside the charity shop, eyeing the building. "But here? Sweetheart, we can upgrade a bit, don't you think? I'd even do Mr Price over this."

Her brows furrow in disgust. "Ag, don't talk about Mr Price that way, like it'd be a chore to go. You should be thanking Mr Price for existing."

Rosie sits perfectly at my side, both of us equally as hesitant to step through the doors.

"Please, Zee." Vuyi's pale honey-brown eyes are wide and pleading. "This is where I want to shop."

Let's be honest, I'd climb into a skip for this girl, but giving her shit is one of my favourite pastimes.

"Rosie, please tell Vuyi that she's going to owe me a very long, very naked shower after this."

Vuyi rolls her eyes once again. "Rosie, please tell your dad that he sounds like a pretentious arsehole right now."

"Vee . . ." I narrow my eyes. "Rosie can't speak."

Her eyes close in frustration. "You're the most annoying man I've ever met."

Chuckling lightly, I bend down, pressing my lips to her scowling ones.
