Yay! Took awhile but I finally got the chapter written!
"H-hey." Massie stammered. She mentally could have kicked herself. She is BOCD's alpha and nothing, as in nuh-thing will ever change that. Derrick gave a nod as Kendra stepped in.
"Hey Derrick, come on in." Kendra smiled and flashed her laser-whitened teeth. "Massie, show Derrick up to your room. And Derrick, sorry if it gets a little noisy around here. We're remodeling a bit." She added.
"Sure." Massie dashed up the stairs, which didn't go so well considering she never runs a bit. It looked more like a clumsy stride.
Derrick, being the soccer captain, beat Massie up the stairs. I hate you, Massie thought. She brushed her hair out of her face and turned the knob to her all white room. This is the first time a male, other than her father, had ever seen her bedroom. Now her room was no longer a male-virgin and it had to lose it to the one person Massie couldn't care less about. Except for maybe Todd.
Massie's room had been slightly rearranged to make enough room for Derrick to stay in. She motioned toward the already set up mattress on the floor. Derrick tossed a grass-stained sports bag on the comforter.
Massie normally knew how to fix an awkward situation but right now, the brunette alpha felt at a loss of words. "Um…" she started, but Derrick had pulled a soccer ball out of his bag and slammed the door on his way out. Massie felt bristled, the way a porcupine does.
In exactly 42 minutes, Massie was in the Range Rover with Claire. "Take us to the mall," she barked at Isaac. After all, what would be more distracting than taking Kuh-laire on a shopping spree? Claire could use the fashion advice. Plus, after all the directing and outfit rating, Massie would be more worn out than her favorite pair of Doc Martens.
After they got out of the car, the two girls headed toward the entrance. Massie was too worn out to change from the previous outfit of about 2 hours ago. All she had done to prepare for this trip was slather on a little more gloss. Claire was wearing an all-Abercrombie outfit. Massie decided it was much better than the Gap. Besides, it wasn't like Claire could afford much better. Abercrombie was a start.
"8.9," Massie muttered.
"Huh?" Claire crinkled her eyebrows the way she did when she was confused.
"Blue V-neck looks good but dips too low so good job on pairing it with a cute cami. Abercrombie skirt matches nicely and flip-flops add a nice touch to the outfit. I'm not a big fan of Abercrombie, but it's an improvement from Gap." Massie replied.
"Oh." Claire nervously looked down at her nails and pulled them toward her teeth but thought better of ruining her new manicure and clasped them together.
"Ok," Massie said as soon as they entered through the entrance. "First stop should be Juicy. Is it okay with you?"
"Um…sure." Claire had no clue about shopping. After Massie had taken her under her wing, Claire was starting to learn a little bit about Westchester fashion, but every time she caught on to the new trend, it had moved on again. Not that she could afford for even a quarter of the prices.
Massie dragged Claire into the colorful store and studied her for a minute. "Go try these on. Try each outfit on and we'll rate you." Massie grabbed an assortment of outfits that Claire would look good in for sure.
Soon after, Claire emerged in an ice blue tube top, a black miniskirt, and a pair of purple heels. "Gorgeous. Except try jeans instead of the miniskirt." Claire quickly ducked back into the dressing room. "Good. This is a 9.5 outfit. But the miniskirt works too." Massie tapped a nail against her well glossed lips. "Let's get the miniskirt. We can stop by Guess? later. They have better jeans. Next outfit."
Soon, both Claire and Massie both had their arms piled high with new purchases. Massie paid for Claire's outfits today. Anything was better than Gap or Macy's. Claire even had bought 5 pairs of shoes that were thankfully nawt sneakers.
Massie had cleared her head and was ready to go home and face the music.
Well, good? Bad? Too short? I wanna hear it.
