It was Saturday about 6pm, Mari and Lucy were out shopping, having a little girly day to themselves. So they decided to take a break and get something to eat. They sat down at a table and ordered their food.
"So is there anywhere else you want to go to?" Lucy asked
"Yeah, just a few more shops, and you?""
"I can't think of anything else I want or need but we'll go to the shops after we've eaten"
"Yep sure thing"
"And what will you be doing later?"
"I'm going round Sherlock's"
"Honestly you should live there, the amount of times you go round there" She smiled
"I don't go round too much"
"Sure you don't" She rolled her eyes.
"What about Jim? Do you meet up much?"
"Not really, we meet up every so often"
She looked over my shoulder "Speaking of the devil"
Lucy looked confused then turned round to see what she was talking about. It was Jim walking towards them. "Hello ladies"
"Why hello" Mari said
"Mind if I join you?"
"Yeah sure"
"So what are you doing here?" Lucy asked
"Just thought I'll come out for the day, you know do some shopping and such?"
"Get anything nice?" Mari was curious; the thought of Jim shopping was weird to her.
"Not much, just some clothes and other stuff"
"Oh cool"
Jim could see the bags they had "You got yourself some new clothes as well along with a little something for Sherlock, didn't you Mari?"
Lucy was sitting there eating her pizza, just listening to their conversation.
"How on earth did you know that?"
"I can clearly see men's clothing at the top of the bag"
"Hey, stop looking at my bags"
"Sorry" he smiled
Lucy saw Jim looking at her "Your awfully quiet Lucy"
"Yes well I wouldn't want to interrupt"
"I'm sure we don't mind"
"Actually I don't really know what to say, to be honest"
Mari thought to herself "When was the last time you two spent some time together?"
"Maybe a few weeks.."
Jim butted in
"Actually it was a month ago"
"Then how about you go to Lucy's" Mari looked at Jim
"Perfect ,I'll do that then"
"But what if I have stuff to do?" surprised Jim didn't even ask her if it was alright to come round
"I know you don't so it's alright for me to come round"
As soon as Jim stopped speaking Mari's phone went off. She got it from out her handbag and looked at it. "Sorry Lucy but his majesty need's me again" She said jokingly while picking up her bags.
"Another case?"
"Yep seems like it"
"Okay then, I'll talk to you tomorrow"
"Yep have fun you two"
And then she walked off. Jim looked at Lucy "You ready to go?"
"Yeah I guess"
They both picked up their bags and made their way to Lucy's car since Jim came in a cab and went to Lucy's house.
Lucy opened the door and walked in. "I'm just going to pop my stuff into the bedroom" she said walking towards it. Jim took his jacket off and placed his back on the floor. Walking over to the sofa he sat down waiting for Lucy to come back.
"So what do you want to do?" Lucy asked as she came back out of the bedroom and sat down next to him.
"How about I see you in some of those clothes you brought?"
"What like a fashion show?" She smiled
"Yes just like a fashion show"
"You can't be serious"
"Yes I can be when I want to"
"So are you actually being serious now?" She raised a eyebrow.
"No not really, I already know you'll look just fine in those clothes"
"Why thank you" She smiled
She got them some drinks and then sat down on the sofa to catch up on stuff that happened since the last time they met for about half an hour then Jim's phone started ringing, he took it out of his pocket and looked at it.
"Sorry to make this a quick visit but I need to head off"
"But you only got here a little while ago"
"Yes well when business calls, I've got to go"
"Okay then"
He got up and grabbed his coat then walked over to the window and opened it.
Lucy also got up and went to grab his bag of stuff for him.
"Well I guess I'll see you soon right?" Lucy then looked round and he was nowhere to be seen. She saw the window open and ran to it looking out.
"He didn't just jump out the window did he?" she said to herself
