After the spa treatment, Raquel led us into a boutique that looked both upscale and expensive. I had expected more of a local vibe, but as my eyes roamed over the displays, everything screamed luxury.

“Shopping time!” Raquel burst out in a bright, musical tone, practically singing as she skipped ahead toward the entrance.

I shook my head, unable to hold back my laugh. “It is, and I’ll be paying,” I threw in casually.

Raquel scoffed. “Hell no! I initiated this, so I’m paying. Besides, if I max out, I’ll just call my man.”

I smirked and reached into my purse, pulling out a sleek black card. “I think there will be no need,” I held it up between my fingers. Gabriel asked us to splurge.

Raquel’s eyes widened as if I’d just pulled a diamond necklace out of my bag. “Holy shit.” She blinked, then leaned in, inspecting it like it might vanish. “That’s awesome! But hold up–no man gives a woman who isn’t his girlfriend or wife his card.” Her gaze fixed on mine, curious “So, little miss, there’s something you’re not telling

I huffed a laugh and tucked the card away. “Come on, Raquel, can we shop? That’s what we’re here to do,

isn’t it?”

Her expression turned smug. “Absolutely.” Then, as we stepped inside, she added under her breath, “But we’re not done talking about this.”

We were greeted by smiling sales ladies, and before I could escape further questioning, Raquel grabbed my wrist. “We have to use that card. Especially to get you all the nice things we can find.”

We moved between the racks, picking out dresses and shoes, and I pointed to several that would look great on Raquel. She tried them on, and as expected, they fit like a dream. Then, she held up a daring gown and wiggled her brows. “Your turn.”

I eyed the dress. It was sexy–tight, short, and barely–there. It was like something a seductress would wear. No matter how bold I had been in the past, this was on a different level.
