I put my phone in and zipped it up. I walked downstairs and saw my dad and Max laughing their asses off. Since when did dad warm up to him? I shook my head at their behavior.
Max looked up when he noticed me descending the stairs and his eyes swarmed over my body, taking in my appearance. He smirked as if he was satisfied. I felt self-conscious again but I can't help myself from blushing at the look on his face.
What the hell Shelly? Compose yours
I looked around but he was nowhere in sight. What the hell? Where the hell is he? Just then, I saw a small stool in front of the cash register."Hello, would you mind if I borrow this stool for a while?" I asked the woman sitting behind the cash register, kindly. The woman seems like in her mid fifties and had grey hair. She seems petite and she was dressed in a blue faded dress."Of course, dear", she answered and smiled warmly at me. She had a gravelly like voice. If I comp
I shrugged off the foreign feeling and headed towards the racks in the back of the library, leaving Max to choose his materials for school.I got a basket off the nearby racks to keep all the things that I would buy in it.After spending a while walking around the shelves looking for some stuffs, my feet started to hurt. I glanced at Max who was busy in choosing between a red pen and a blue pen. I bit my lower lip to stop the smile which was fighting its way to make an appear
"Why are you here?" Max's chest rumbled as he talked and I felt another flutter in my heart. I sniffed him lightly and he smelled like aftershave. It was so good and nice. How can he be so handsome, hot and sexy? It becomes even more difficult to avoid him. I smiled in his chest. I still couldn't digest the fact that I might be falling for him."Oh, it's a free country and I don't think that I should be taking your permission to come here." the stranger replied, his voice bringing a chill down my spine again.
I heave out a sigh. Well, since Max abandoned me, I think this is the only way home.I began walking around. Even if my feet are hurting, a girl needs to finish her shopping spree, right? I smiled when I stopped in front of a boutique with cute outfits seen hanging through the window from outside."Wow, back-to-school sale!" my smile widen even more when I saw this. My father may have given me his credit card but I wouldn't dare finish his money in one go. We may also be rich
"Shelly", Alex whined like a girl for the eleventh time or maybe a lot more.I turned around and grinned sheepishly at him.He came out of the store that we currently shopped in, with bags filled with clothes hanging on his arms while he looked at me with raised eyebrows and pouting like a five year old.
We walked in the coffee shop and I smiled in delight when I smelled the chocolate and coffee smell. I am really addicted to chocolate and coffee. Alex was grinning while he raised an eyebrow at me."What?" I asked and made a pointed face at him."Nothing, I just came to know that my little sister liked smelling coffee shops", he mocked me and nudged my side amusedly.
I kept all my shopping bags on my bed and ran back downstairs. I smiled in content when I saw my parents watching the television.I huffed a sigh of relief when I sat down on the floor, curled up by the foot of the sofa with my eyes glued to the only source of light in the living room.
I walked in my room and sat on the edge of my bed, glancing around. Oh god! I have yet to unpack these shopping bags. I grabbed my i-phone and put some music while I got to work.After half an hour, I had everything set for tomorrow. I smiled in content and closed my closet. Just then my favorite song by Taylor Swift started playing and I sang along. I knew the lyrics by heart.You'reonthephonewithyourgirlfriend
