Derek's P.O.V:
We rode to the edge of town and headed to the mall. I wasn't looking forward to going into a building filled with multiple people. I stared at the lush green growing forest around the town. I would rather be running around in that forest then spending time in a small cramped building. I looked at Chloe who was staring out to the forest, she was enjoying wind hiting her face.
I smiled at her before she turned to look at me. She smiled and I smiled back before we both looked back at the forest. I admired the forest as much as I could before it disappeared as we arrived at the mall parking lot. I turned back to the forest as Marcus parked the car.
Sighing, I climbed down from the truck with Simon, Damien and Chloe. Marcus and Tori got out before we all walked into the building. I wanted so badly to ditch but I didn't want to leave Chloe alone.
We walked inside and I began to smell other werewolfs around. No surprise there. We stopped next to a water fountian inside, Tori, Simon and Chloe looked around.
"What do you think?" Marcus asked as he and Damien grinned. Rolling my eyes as Tori began to talk none stop, I looked around. I didn't get what the point is, you've seen one mall you've seen them all. I was really bored and we've just arrived.
Chloe wrapped her arms around my arm, I turned to her and smile before she was dragged away from me by Tori who dragged her off to who knows where. Chloe looked at me with an sad smile and I just gave her a shrug. She smiled and giggled before she disappeared into a crowed with Tori.
"Ok, so... What now?" Simon said, as he turned to Damien and Marcus. Both looked at each other before they both gave Simon a grin. "Why don't we go to the arcade close to here, they have multiple games there."
I looked around as they began to walk away before Simon turned to me after noticing I wasn't following them. "Aren't you coming?" He asked as Damien and Marcus stopped in their tracks.
"Nah, I'll catch up later." I said before I walked away the opposite direction they were heading. I looked around the mall and I tried to avoid people as best as I could. Most of them had on either too much perfume or aftershave. I wished I could turn my sense of smell at time. I would rather be unable to smell anything instead of smelling such suffocating smells.
I looked around and spotted a Starbucks a few feet away. I hurried over to the shop, I would rather smell the different smells and spices of coffee then expensive perfume. I looked around the busy and full shop. The smell of the fresh coffee overpowered anything else. I looked around bored before I decided I could use a drink of coffee. I got into the line and waites for my turn. I looked at their selection of drinks before my eyes wondered to their selection of snacks. I was trying to wonder what to get, maybe I should get a brownie or a muffin?
It was finally my turn and I stood in front of the register. I turned to the register girl and she smiled at me. She batted her eyes at me and leaned a little closer. Great, not again...
"Welcome to Starbucks, what can I get you?" She said smiling. I looked away at the menu. Maybe I could get Chloe something. I turned to the girl who kept staring at me.
"Can I get a medium green tea frappuccino and a large chocolate frappuccino." I said, turning to her. She smiled and grabbed two cups before she pulled out a sharpie marker.
"Ok, and your name is ?" She asked, smiling at me. I could tell she wasn't thinking very much about doing her job.
"Derek.."
She smiled and wrote down my name on both cups before she smiled at me again and said:
"Would you like anything else Derek?"
I looked away from her to the pastry display. I eyed the brownies before I turned back to her. "I'll have two brownies as well." I said before I reached into my pocket for the money. I payed her a twenty before she told me how much. She grabbed the bill from my hand and our hands brushed against each other for a second. I looked at her, she smiled and giggled at me as she batted her eyes again.
I pulled my hand away before she handed me my change. I took my change before she grabbed the two brownies and handed me the small white paper bag. I took it and stood a side waiting for the rest of my order. I waited for about five minutes before my name was called. I walked over to the counter and grabbed the drinks. The girl from the register handed me my order and winked. I grabbed my order, but before I could walk away she whispered:
"I get off in ten minutes, would you like some company?"
I blinked and grabbed my order from her. "I have a girlfriend." I told her before I turned away and exit the shop. I wondered around the mall looking for Chloe for about ten minutes. I turned a corner and bumped into her. I spilled my drink all over my shirt.
Earlier...
Chloe's P.O.V:
Tori dragged me away from the guys as she ran to a random clothing store. We spend at least five minutes looking around for clothes for her. Well, she was looking around, I was just standing behind her, holding the clothes she liked and wanted to try on.
"How's this look?" Tori asked as she held up a short black strapless dress close to her body, trying to model it in front of me. Before I could give her my opinion, she turned away and modeled the dress in front of a full body length mirror.
"Hmm... I like it, but let's see how it really looks." She said before she walked up to me, she grabbed her clothes from my arms and carried them off to a changing room. I waited outside as I looked around. Most of these clothes I can only dream of pulling them off. I kept looking around before Tori called me.
I headed back to the dressing room just as she yanked the door back and modeled her clothes in front of me, one by one. After a few minutes, I was on the verge of losing it. I waited until she changed back into her normal clothes before I slowly backed away to the enterance of the store. I was about to make a break for it when I stopped in my tracks. I turned back to the changing rooms in the back. I didn't want to leave Tori alone. I was about to walk back when I heard:
"Go ahead, I've got this."
I turned around and came face to face with Liz. She smiled and held up a note pad and pen in her hands as she wrote down on it. She held the note to me and winked.
Go on and find your boyfriend~ :D
I read what she wrote before I gave her a smile and nod. I ran out out of the store and to the other west wing of the mall. I turned a corner just as I bumped into a thick hard wall of flesh. I looked up to see Derek before I felt something wet and cold on my pants. I looked down and saw it was a spilled frappuccino on the ground. Some of it was on my pants and on Derek's shirt.
"S-s-sorry... I-I-I wasn't looking were I-i-i w-was..." I tried to explain before he shook his head at me.
"It's ok, no harm no foul." He said as he tried to wipe some of the drink off his ruined shirt before he handed a green frappuccino to me. I took the drink from him and he reached into the small paper bag he hand and pulled out a few napkins and cleaned up his shirt. Once that was accomplished, he handed me a few napkins from the bag and I cleaned up my pants. They were still wet but we'll live.
"A-again, I-I-I'm r-really sorry. I-I can buy you another one." I said as we tossed the napkins into a trash can nearby.
"Don't worry about it, its fine." He said as he handed the paper bag to me after he pulled a bownie out of it. I took the bag and looked at him.
"Really, I want to. Come on." I said as I walked down the direction he came from. I heard him sigh before he followed me as I took a sip of my frappuccino and a small bit from my brownie. I looked down at them as we both headed to the Starbucks he came from. I walked inside and got in line as I ate my bownie. Derek always seems to find a new way to surprise me.
I finally made it to the front after finishing my bownie and I looked at the menu. The girl at the counter was yelling an order before she turned to me.
"Welcome to Starbucks, how can I-" she stopped half way when she looked at me.
"Is something wrong?" I asked confused. She didn't respond and I followed her gaze and noticed she was staring at my frappuccino cup. I looked at it and saw Derek's name writen on it. I looked up at her before she looked up at me and glared.
"U-u-uh... C-c-can I-I order?" I said but she didn't budge before someone called her to the back. Another girl took her place once she left and I ordered a new chocolate frappuccino for Derek. After getting the drink, I meet Derek out front. He sat at a table as he ate his brownie, which he cut in half and placed the other half on a napkin. I handed him his drink as he slided the other half to me. I swear, he spoiled me way too much.
