Chapter Thirty One

(Christmas Day Part Two)

Emilie turned to the side and admire herself in the mirror. She had changed into a knee-length black skirt, a red Gucci blouse she didn’t know was in her closet, and black Chanel heels.

She turned and walked across the room and got out from under the bed she was hiding from Alicia. Emilie held the box under her arm and walked into Amia’s room. The little girl was jumping all over the room dressed in a Mrs. Claus costume that her mother matched with black combat boots and a pair of black shades.

“You look so pretty, Amia.”

Alicia cleared her throat from the side of her. “Only Amia looks pretty?”

Emilie turned to the side, her mouth gaping, “Wow.” her eyes wandered over Alicia’s frame. They dressed the younger woman in a knee-length silk dress and red Chanel heels that strapped up her thighs. Her long blonde hair down her back in curls, she pinned in on the right side to show off her cheekbones and full lips of red lipstick. “Wow,” Emilie mumbled.
