Friday evening, the 3 Ruiz siblings ventured into the mall together as each of them needed something different. Bailey had just gotten out of one of her dental exams, and needed a little retail relaxation. Her younger sister Natalie tagged along as she often did, as she was practically a clone of Bailey, and their youngest brother Zach ran out onto the driveway as she pulled out, saying that he needed to get a new bag to hold his tools in.
As they stepped into the mall, Zach split from his sisters, as he knew how long they could take to shop, much like their mother. He was more like their father, as he would stop and shop for what he wanted and nothing else.
“Meet us at this bench by the exit whenever you’re done, or just text me” Bailey instructed Zach as he walked away, with a thumbs up given as he continued to walk away from the two of them .
“So where do you wanna go Nat?” Bailey said as she turned to her sister, who was busy texting something on her phone.
Natalie looked around, “Well this mall doesn’t have too much, but there was a sale at SubOutfitters that I wanted to check out”. With no other heading, the two of them set off for the store.
The two of them browsed and picked up an assortment of items from the clothing racks, chatting on and on about what was going on in their lives. They went on until they reached their favorite subject: boy drama, a reoccurring topic in their household.
In Bailey’s own experience, she’d constantly get new followers on social media from random men that would message her about how they lusted for her, or whatever. She was aware of how cute she appeared in her face, but knew her body was where it was at. She had a modest cup size, nothing like her mother’s enormous tits, but enough to show off just a teeny bit. Her real breadwinner was her butt, as it was very similar in size and appearance to her mother’s. It was very full, and wobbled side to side as she walked. Pair with it, came a pair of thick thighs that pulled everything together. Bailey often struggled to find clothing that didn't fit too tight, but usually she didn’t have such luck. Nonetheless, she often wore what she could fit into, cheeked up for the world to see.
The pair of them found a few cute things here and there, and decided to seek out a dressing room to try everything on.They stepped into a large vacant room together, to give opinions of the clothes they picked out.
“I really do like this top. If it looks this good on me, maybe it’ll look decent on you” Natalie teased her older sister.
“Yeah, maybe if you grow some tits you won’t have to shop in the pre-teen section” Bailey retorted.
Natalie returned a stank eye, and then checked herself out in the mirror.
Meanwhile, Bailey was struggling to put on the workout leggings, as she could not get them over her ass. “Uh Nat, a little help?” She pleaded, which caused Natalie to get behind her sister. “On three you jump, okay?” Natalie said, “1….2…..3!”. Bailey jumped and Natalie pulled the leggings over her older sister’s backside.
“Thanks kid” Bailey said, as she turned to face the mirror. To no surprise, her butt looked absolutely great in them, as it stuck out like it normally did. “No problem Bails” Natalie said, smacking her sister’s large rear.
“I wish I would’ve gotten some booty like you and mom” Natalie complained, “Im all skin and bones back here”.
Bailey laughed, “Girl if I could give you some, I would! It aint easy being so bottom-heavy. You’re lucky that you can wear whatever you want and still look fine". She ruffled her little sisters hair, “Plus you still got time as you get older, I used to fit into those jeans, and now look at me!” Bailey exclaimed.
Natalie smiled at her sister’s encouragement, and the two finished up in the dressing room. They purchased their things, and headed back toward the parking garage.
As they neared the exit, Natalie caught eye of one of her friends in a nearby clothing store.
“OMG! It’s Jessica! I haven’t seen her in ages! Im gonna go say hi!” She exclaimed, hurrying to the store.
“Don’t be too long, I’ll be right out here waiting for you.” Bailey called out to her sister.
Natalie was close enough to their meet-up bench near the exit, so Bailey walked over there and sat down. She whipped out her phone and browsed through it. As she scrolled, however, she seen something glowing above her phone screen. She looked up and seen that it was a sign for a store that she hadn’t seen before in the mall, or even when they walked in earlier. She read it out loud:
"Realm Gifts & Novelties? Did they just open? Never heard of them” she pondered.
As she looked through the windows of the store from afar, Bailey had a bit of an odd feeling inside. She couldn't explain it, but she felt that something was drawing her to the store, almost pulling her. She had this feeling towards a few stores, but not ones like this. She closed her phone, got up, grabbed her bag, and walked into the store.
The store was surprisingly dark, despite how well-lit the rest of the mall was. Bailey figured it to the store's theme, which she attributed it to portraying a gothic type look. Behind an ancient looking counter, stood a middle-aged Korean woman, with pale skin and kind eyes. She smiled at Bailey, and welcomed her into the store.
"Hello there miss, what brings you in to my Realm today?" the woman said.
“I was sitting at the bench out there waiting for my siblings, when I just had to come in here and look around”, Bailey answered, as her eyes continued to wander the shelves.
"Just so you know, everything here is up for sale. If you find it, just ask me"
Bailey thanked the woman, and started to look around. The stores inventory had all sorts of international items that Bailey had never heard of before, but most of them had came with English translations so she could tell what she was looking at. She was curious to see if there were any incense burners, so that she could burn them to relax when studying, or even just to burn in her room. She was a sucker for ancient relaxation techniques.
While searching, she came across a small box that appeared to carry small jewelry. Curious to what may be inside, she opened it, and to her surprise, were two of the most fascinating rings that she had ever seen. They looked like black wedding bands, but on the band were black crystals that shone even in the dark. These were definitely up Bailey’s alley, as she was into crystals and all that mumbo jumbo. The glow really jumped out to her and she instinctively reached out and grabbed the box. She looked, and looked all over the shelf, but couldn't find a price tag. Still determined to get the rings, she took it over to the worker at the counter.
"Hi! I was wondering how much these two crystal rings are?”, Bailey asked.
The lady looked down at the rings and smiled. “Was there no tag? Odd." she said as she opened the box, and stared at the rings.
"No, I searched high and low but couldn't find them. Do you think somebody took it off?”
"Possibly" the woman sighed, "Oh well. I said that everything was for sell, and that includes this! Take it!" the woman said, sliding the box over towards Bailey. Those of the Rings of Gyohwan! Very special in our culture. They are said to bring loved ones together like never before imagined, understanding life through their eyes."
The explanation seemed heartfelt for Bailey. Her and her family were very close, and getting one of them a gift like this that brought their culture together with another would surely be appreciated. All that mattered was deciding who got to wear the other ring.
“And you’re 100% that I don’t have to pay?”
“Im sure Mrs. Ruiz. Now go! Be with your loved ones” the woman said.
Bailey smiled at the woman, grabbed the box and turned to walk out of the store. She decided to put it into the bag she already had so that her siblings wouldn’t bombard her with questions about it. She couldn’t help but think about how the woman knew her last name, but as often as she thought about the odd instance, the memory would dissipate in her mind. She shrugged it off, and thought that she was just hearing things. As she continued to walk away from the store, it soon faded away, like a mirage that was never truly there.
She looked toward the bench and seen that her siblings weren’t there, but when see looked through the see through doors of the parking lot, she could see the two of them walking to her car.
As Bailey caught up with them, she startled them by putting her hands on their shoulders and yelling “BOO!”. They both jumped and turned around.
“It’s about time! It felt like we waited for hours!” Zach complained as he kept walking.
“Sorry, there was a new store I had to check out!”
The three of them then got into the car and ventured home.
At Home
Bailey parked n front of their house. Her siblings got out of the car, and made their way inside. Now that she was alone, she pulled the small box out of the bag, and opened it. Who was she going to give the other ring to? Each of them deserved it, but she had to make a decision.
“I wish there had been more of these” she sighed, thinking about who should get half of her latest find.
Bailey sighed, "Fine, I'll just give it to:"
