"Mom.. I'm going out" i said and walked out before she could say anything. I walked down the porch steps and to my car in the drive way. When i got in it was steamy hot. I started the engine and turned on the AC. And headed off towards the mall area. When i got there... i walked in the mall and headed over to Victoria Secrets for their huge sale. I picked up a few things in there and headed off to American Eagle who were also having a big sale, i basically spent half of the money i had in there. I walked back out to my car and put the things in my trunk and sat in the car for a minute. Until i heard my phone go off.

"Hello?" i answered

"Hey... Rach?"

"Yeah, whose this?"

"Hey.. It's Randy what are you doing?"

Randy? Are you serious? "Um... just getting ready to leave the mall, what are you doing?"

"I was just getting into the mall, haha"

"That's too funny"

"Come back inside will you? Let's talk"

Talk? What about his girlfriend? Uh no. but once again curiosity got the best of me, and i agreed to meet him in the food court. I walked in the food court and noticed him immediately. He was wearing a pair of blue fitted jeans and a black button up shirt. It looked like he was on the phone, but he still signaled for me to come sit where he was at. I sat across from him as he rolled his eyes to whoever was on the phone. I laughed silently.

"Listen hun... I'm sick of this shit too , so just forget about it.– what do you mean you don't understand - - yeah that's what it means - bye"

"Sorry" he said to me.

"It's ok... girlfriend?"

"yep... ex girlfriend now"

"Oh... I'm sorry?"

"No no, it's alright this has been coming for a while, I'm relieved actually."

"Oh... well do you want to do any thing special? I've already spent most of my money, so go cheap on me" i said and laughed

"Of course you did... want to just go eat? I'm starving"

"Yeah I'm hungry too... let's go"

We walked out to his car, which was a very nice Mercedes and drove to Apple Bee's. We ordered our foods and made small talk until the food came. We talked about everything, from the clothes that i bought today to me and him driving together to Connecticut. Yes we decided that we were going to drive down together. How exciting right? Try nerve racking. I'm scared to death to drive with him all alone, I'm just going to fall even more. After we finished lunch, we had decided on going to watch a movie at the mall to kill time before i had to get back home. We saw Click. It was a pretty funny movie, and throughout the whole movie he just stared at me whenever he had the chance.

When i got in the car, i looked at my phone and saw that i had a few missed calls, all coming from my mother, and one from Dave. What could Dave want? I listened to the voice mail that he left and it basically said hey want to hang out. Nope...i wasn't going to get involved with that. I drove off towards home, and got home to be surprised with the whole family in the living room.

"W-what are you guys doing?"

"Well... we've been planning on the party because you're not going to be home for very long... and Randy got you distracted so we could get everyone here." my mother told me as she looked at Randy who was standing with his father and smiled at him, he replied with a smile back and then locked eyes with me and smiled. I blushed a little bit. I walked around and greeted all of my family. My aunts, and my uncles, my grandparents and all of my cousins, and of course my brother and his children, my nieces. I made my way over to the Ortons. I hugged Bob and Jen and then looked at Randy. He motioned towards my room so we could talk.
