She looked at the rows of dresses, she felt the soft fabric,ah the love of being in a shopping mall.Only a true shopaholic would know it.
She chose the red dress which would be perfect for Lizzy’s wedding and the black dress for cocktail dinner.then she moved to the lingerie section and picked up the latest from Victoria Secret-what a delight.
She went to the changing room to try them on and after 10 minutes walked out of the shop-an expression of delight masked by a poker face.
She reached home and spread the loot on her bed.
The bedroom was overflowing with clothes,accessories,handbags,shoes,cosmetics from Gucci to Prada.
Money can buy everything and she had plenty of it,but the obsessive urge to walk out of a shop with a dress stolen gave her such a high.She had promised her family she won’t do it but promises can be broken sometimes,isn’t it?

This gave me goosebumps. My bestie was a Kleptomaniac and THIS is exactly what she used to do!
I had to distance myself from her because of this.
What a fabulous take on the prompt.
Thank you for writing for #FridayFotoFiction
