Alonzo smiled and said, “Okay, sister, I’ll buy you some new clothes.”
He wasn’t short on money; during the holidays, the elders had given him plenty of red envelopes. He saved some for his mom and managed the rest himself. Whenever he wanted to buy something, he used his own money and kept track of his expenses.
Elora bent down and gently pinched Alonzo’s cheek, smiling. “If you study hard and listen to me, that will make me happy. I’m just teasing—you don’t need to buy me clothes. I have more than enough.”
Her closet was filled with clothes, many of which she hadn’t even worn yet. She usually wore business suits during the week and reserved casual clothes for the weekends. Her mom and aunts enjoyed making her new outfits, even though she didn’t need more. They believed that a girl should always dress beautifully.
The same went for jewelry. Elora only wore it for special occasions, but her mom loved jewelry and always bought pieces for herself and her daughters when she went out. Elora had so much jewelry that she could probably open her own store.
“Sister, I’m studying really hard,” Alonzo said. “You work so hard and take care of Angelo and me. I should buy you a new dress. You can’t say no.”
Angelo chimed in, “Sister, we’ll both buy you new clothes together. You can wear them for the New Year!”
Elora smiled, touched by their thoughtfulness, and lovingly patted their faces. “Since you two are being so sweet, I’ll accept. But don’t forget, you also have other sisters—your second, third, and more. You can’t just spoil me. If you’re giving gifts, you need to buy two sets of clothes for each sister.”
The brothers fell silent, realizing they hadn’t considered that.
They quickly calculated their finances, wondering if they had enough to buy two new outfits for each sister. Their sisters preferred expensive designer clothes, and they realized they couldn’t purchase less costly items for the other sisters while splurging on Elora; that wouldn’t be fair. It was going to cost a lot.
“What’s wrong? Having second thoughts about spending all that money?” Elora teased. “It’s easy to talk big until you have to spend the cash!”
Alonzo replied, “No way. When our sisters are on break, we’ll all go shopping together, and I’ll buy clothes for everyone—ready-made, not custom.”
Custom clothes were pricier, and their sisters typically shopped at top designers. Alonzo knew that buying off-the-rack from well-known brands would still make his sisters happy without breaking the bank.
“As soon as they find something they like, Angelo and I will buy it that same day!” Alonzo added proudly.
Angelo agreed, “Yeah, we’ve got it covered.”
It had been a long time since they had shopped with their sisters. The older sisters usually went out without them, claiming the boys were too young and too much trouble. But now that they were older and cried less often, it was time to go out with their sisters again, right?
