Olivia
When I woke up, the sun had just risen and the birds were waking up for the day. I looked to my left and noticed Olivia sound asleep. I slipped my way out of the tent, making sure not to wake anyone as I zipped the tent back up. I put my shoes on and walked back into the house, sliding the door shut behind me before going upstairs to my room. Since it was barely 7 am, I just took a quick shower and laid down to wait for the other girls to wake up as well.
Tahny
I woke up to being the only one left in the tent yet light laughter could be heard from within the house. I got up and stretched, my back popping from having stayed thee whole night on the hard ground. My head was pounding from all the alcohol that was drunk last night, small glares of light appearing in my vision as I walked to the backdoor of the house. I slid the door open and walked to the kitchen, plopping myself down on the stool beside the tabletop. "Morning sleeping beauty, guessing you feel like shit huh?" Macy said as she slid a cold bottle of water over to me. I grumbled a response and happily took it, taking small sips from it as I looked at the rest of them. "What time is it?" I asked before standing up and going to the fridge for something to eat.
Hopefully it won't come up in less than an hour
I thought while grabbing a little cart of strawberry yogurt. "Almost 2:30, you was sleep all damn day cause you decided to drink all that wine. You know that stuff comes up and bites you in the ass when you wake up." I laughed at that but held my head as a slight throbbing pain showed up. I went back to my stool and sat down before slowly eating the yogurt. "Here, you gonna need it." Olivia said as she slid me two pills. I took them without question and downed some of the water I was given earlier.
About the time the pounding in my head went away, the girls were already out and doing some sight seeing activities. We were scheduled to leave in about two weeks so Yasmine and Macy said they wanted to have those kind of memories for themselves. Olivia knew when they left, I was still going to be feeling like shit so she told me to stay here and just chill until I got rid of it.
"Now what am I gonna do all day?" I said while walking back down to the kitchen. I took another shower and got dressed into some black shorts and a lime green sports bra. It was already damn near a hundred degrees when I walked outside to the driver, who was already parked with the cars AC blasting.
"Is there a clothing store near here?" I asked as I sat in the back and buckled my seatbelt. Before answering he just started driving so I shrugged and let him do his job. During most of the ride, I stayed on my phone so I didn't have to make conversation, seems like he didn't want conversation either so it was a nice silence as he drove me to the store. It was nearly 45 minutes later before we made it to a store that was as big as a mall. "It's a new store that a woman opened not that long ago. She made it for women strictly and it's been the biggest hit as a tourist attraction. I thought you'd like to go since you were alone today. Should we go somewhere else?" His eyes stared at me through the rear view mirror as I nodded.
"This is good, thanks. I'll call when I'm finished." He nodded as I got out and walked into the store, my mouth dropping a bit at how huge this single store was. "Nice isn't it?" I jump gently at how close the voice was, feeling my face mean mug before pursing my lips. I turn to see a slightly taller woman with bantu knots in her hair, her simple dress making her legs look longer than they actually are. "It is." I simply say before she started to walk.
"Come on, I'll show you how this works." I guess I gave her a weird look because she laughed and stuck her hand out to me. "I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself, I'm Tory Gonstiva, the owner of this place." I let out a slight hum before smiling and sticking out my hand to her. "I'm Tahny, I didn't think the owner of a popular store would just be walking around helping customers like this." She shook my hand before she started to walk towards an escalator, stepping on as we went up. "The fact you're not the first American to say that is concerning to me, do the owners never help in America?" I snorted at her question, "As the owner of my own place, of course I help and do work but at other establishments, they just pay folks to do their work so they don't have to."
"Sounds like lazy pigs to me." Her thick accent causing those words to sound way more insulting than they actually are. As we got to the top of the escalator, she explained her "system" with this store. "While I was shopping one evening I was criticized for how I looked in clothes by male workers who suggested them to me. That same day, I was sexually harassed by a male worker who walked into my changing room and attempted to grab and use me. That day I went home and sketched out the building I wanted and how I wanted it before handing it to some contractors and saying to build it. I guess they thought I was joking so they laughed while looking at the sketch. They told me what was a woman going to do with a big place like this and how would a woman get such money fo build it. So I sued them for $15 Million and used that money to have my place built."
I looked at her with wide eyes as she said the last part, bursting out laughing at how nonchalant she was about the situation. "You're a badass Tory." I said as I continued to laugh, placing my hand over my mouth. "Anyway, unlike normal big places, our store is divided by brand and not by other stores. I hope that makes sense. As where malls would have multiple stores, I will just have multiples brands all within this building." I nodded in understanding, looking around as I saw the separation between brands along the walls. "Ms. Gonstiva, they need you on the first floor." A woman in a security outfit says as she walks up to her. Tory nodded and looked back at me. "Then I'll see you as you leave the store, have a nice day!" I smiled and waved softly as she walked away.
As she went down the escalator, I looked around, trying to see which place I wanted to go first. As I was deciding, I got a call from Macy. I put my AirPods in before answering the FaceTime call, holding my phone as I walked into the store named 'Prada'.
"Where you at?" She asked as I looked down at the phone. I could see Olivia and Yasmine leaning over to see the screen, causing me to wave at them. "I'm at a store that seems to be downtown. It's honestly a bad ass store!" I started to explain how the store was set up and why it was built in the first place. "Anyways, what y'all doin? Have you seen something amazing yet?"
"Girl everything here is amazing. The waterfalls, the animals, it's so beautiful. Here look." Macy said as she flipped the camera to the other side, pointing it to a waterfall with multiple kinds of birds flying around. "Oh that is beautiful~" I said while taking a few screenshots of the view. We talked for a while, as I showed them the purses and things I was thinking of buying while they showed me the pretty views and things they were seeing.
"I'm gonna call y'all when I leave and go back to the house alright? Stay safe and send me pictures babes!" I said as all the girls got into view, waving and saying goodbye. "Alright, buy me something!~" Olivia said as I hung up, laughing gently at her words.
