Chapter 10- The mall

Time was ticking by all too fast for my liking.

The benefit concert was approaching quickly. It was about a week away. I knew the song in side and out, I just needed to get the guts to sing in front of a crowd.

Clea and I spent time together nightly. After I got home from being with Hunny and he left my home, Clea and I would do something together. I found her less and less annoying and now sometimes looked forward to our time together.

Most of the time we would go for a ride in my Camaro or play Wii.

Minka was obviously happy we were getting along better. She always had dinner ready and rarely invaded my space. If she did I was sure to let her know. I was too fond of her yet.

And that brings me to Mitsukuni. Hunny and I were becoming closer, if that was possible. We were like a single entity, like Violet and Kauro. I was with him mostly. After school we would usually go to the diner. Sometimes he would come over to my home.

I sat on Hunny's lap in Music room 3. We were the only two in there. The others had gone home. The sun was setting and I knew Clea would be anxious to see me soon.

I would my arms around Hunny's neck and nuzzled in to the collar of his shirt. I breathed in deep, inhaling his sweet scent.

"Come on we gotta go." Hunny said trying to loosen my grip.

"No just a little longer." I protested.

"Clea will be expecting you soon."

"Your more fun." I pressed my lips to his, enabling him from another protest. He kissed me back, for a while. He broke away too soon.

"Come on, Im taking you home." He said, picking me up in his arms.

"Put me down!" I gasped as he stood.

"Nope!" He flipped me over his shoulder. He placed one hand on my back to keep me in place and rested the other hand on his hip.

"Oh my god!"

I pounded my fists on his back and protested. "Mitsukuni! Seriously out me down."

We were approaching a group of people.

"Mitsukuni, don't!" I said knowing what was coming next.

He chuckled a little.

He knew I wouldn't be able to resist playing along.

"You've been a very naughty girl, Royal." He said just loud enough for the people to hear.

Damn you Hunny.

"I-I'm sorry, Mitsukuni." I whimpered.

I let myself fall limply over his shoulder.

"You best be, Royal." He said sternly.

"Please don't."

"Sorry Royal, but you were naughty."

"Im sorry I wont do it again."

"Too bad."

"Please Mit-"

"Hmm"

"Master please don't the wax always leaves burns and the rope hurts my wrists."

This caused every single one of those people to look at us surprised. I looked down and suppressed a giggle.

We walked the rest of the way to his car in silence.

Once we got in we bursted with laughter.

"Did you see their faces?" I forced between laughs.

"ROYAL!" Clea screamed once I got out of Hunny's car.

She ran and jumped in to my arms.

"Hey, Clea." I turned so we could wave to Hunny as he drove away.

I turned back around and made my way to the door.

"Whats that on your neck."

Shit! A hickie.

"Oh nothing, I just… ugh… fell. So, what do you want to do tonight?"

"Go fast in your car."

I walked to my car and strapped her in and threw my bag in the back.

"Hey Clea, wanna go to the mall?"

"YES!" She screeched as I sat down.

I slammed my door shut and opened the glove compartment. My hand pulled out a pack of bubble gum.

"Want a piece?" I asked holding it up to Clea.

She nodded, I took a piece out and handed it to her. She crammed it in her mouth as fast as she could. I popped a piece in my mouth and started the car.

"We should see if Hunny will come wiff us." Clea chirped.

"It's with Clea, T H." I corrected. "And why?"

"I like Hunny and you're always in a better mood when he's around." She smiled, like she just won a spelling bee.

I took my phone out of my pocket and dialed his number. I pressed the speaker button. It rang twice.

"Royal?" Hunny answered.

"And Clea." I added.

"Hi Clea."

"Hi!" She screamed.

"Clea, yell one more time and we go home!" I yelled slamming on the breaks.

It's a good thing the road wasn't busy or we could have been in a major accident.

"Hunny wanna go to the mall wiff us?" Clea sang.

"WITH." I muttered.

"Sure Clea." He murmured. "I'll meet you there."

"Thanks Mitsukuni." I said.

"I'll meet you there. Love you." He responded.

"Love you too." I said and shut my phone.

"Clea did you eat dinner?" I asked.

"Nope!" She sang shaking her head.

"Great."

If we went to the mall we wouldn't be home in time for dinner. Which ment we would have to eat at the mall.

"That's just great."

When we reached the mall, I helped Clea out of her car seat and she climbed on to my shoulders.

"I'm not helping you stay in place." I warned.

She began kicking her legs that hung over my shoulders. It didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. The rhythm of her legs kind of relaxed me. I noticed Hunny waiting by the entrance. My pace quickened.

When we reached him I immediately took his hand.

"Hello Clea." Hunny said, ruffling her hair.

"Hi!" She yelled.

We walked inside and Clea pointed to the first store she saw.

"There! Lets go there!" She screeched. I looked at the store. The windows were filled with dresses upon dresses.

"Great idea, Clea. Royal needs a dress for the benefit concert." Hunny smiled.

"Oh no," I started. "I may have given in to you and signed up for the dumb thing but I am not wearing a dress!"

"Oh yes you are." He prompted and pushed me towards the store.

The racks were filled will hundreds of dresses.

Short dresses. Long dresses, ruffily dresses, elegant dresses, every kind of dress you could think of. One rack caught my eye.

"Wow." I whispered.

I walked over to the rack and gazed at one of the dresses. It was beautiful. It was pink with beads embroidered on it. I pulled it back to look at the next dress. This one was strapless and black. It hugged tight around the torso and fanned out like a tutu at the bottom.

"Oh. Pretty!" Clea yelled.

"I agree, Clea." Hunny added.

I pulled Clea off my shoulders and set her on the floor.

"I think I'll try it on." I said pulling the dress off the rack.

I walked over to the girl with the keys for the dressing rooms. She gladly opened a door for me and shut the door once I was inside. I slid out of my clothes and pulled the dress on. It looked good. Too good. I could never wear it in public, let alone in front of a huge crowd of people.

It hugged my body perfectly and showed off my legs. I sighed, I would put the dress back and find that looked a little more average on me.

"Did you put it on yet Royal?" Clea called.

"Yes!" I called back.

"Well come on then. Let us see." Hunny said.

"No."

"Why not?" He asked.

"I don't like it." I didn't like being the center of attention. That was one of Violets qualities.

"Royal if you done come out, I'll drag you out." I could tell he was serious.

"Fine." I sighed.

I stepped out of the dressing room. Hunny's mouth dropped and Clea chirped in his arms. She clasped her hands together and screamed, "Pretty!"

Hunny finally shut his mouth and smiled. "No not pretty."

Well that wasn't very nice to say. He could have at least been nice about it and said I think you would look better in that one over there.

"Not pretty at all. Beautiful, no, drop dead gorgeous."

Oh so that's what he ment.

My cheeks turned bright red and my heart started beating double time.

I refused to look at either one of them. My feet turned and I went back to change in to my clothes.
