*Shopping Trip*
((Thoughts)) A/N
"So, what did you think of my dad?"
I look at the retreating back of the blitzball captain and smile softly while shaking my head. "He is a piece of work…" I trail off and look at Jecht, still smiling.
He laughs. "Yea, you could say that."
"Well, I like him. I appreciate all that you two are doing for me."
He looks at his watch. "It's no trouble, but if you want to get to the mall before Zanarkand night life traffic hits we better get going."
"Shopping….? Oh yea, I remember your dad gave you the credit card. Well lets go then." I turn and start walking, then stop, realizing I have no idea where we are going. "Uh, why don't you lead."
"Sure." He throws his arm around my shoulder, chuckling, causing me to blush fiercely. We walk down the paved road, neon lights flashing by on either side of us. At the end of the block we turn left and enter a large building through sliding doors.
"Where are we?" Having never seen anything like this place I am thoroughly amazed by the sheer size of it, and the number of people it can hold.
Jecht looks at me skeptically. "You must have a serious case of amnesia….we are at the mall."
I nod as if I know what he is talking about as we walk along. I turn my head this way and that, wishing I had about eight more pairs of eyes. We enter a store, the marble tiles on the floor transitioning from white to a deep maroon and ebony. There are racks of clothes everywhere.
"Ok, pick out a couple of outfits you like, then we can go get something to eat." Jecht says, smiling at the enthralled look upon my face.
"But there is so many outfits to chose from, I don't know where to start…" I trail off, still looking around.
"How about this, I will pick out a few outfits for you, and you can choose a few for yourself."
I nod. "Ok, it's a deal." I turn my back and walk through the store. I stop at a rack and pick up a long white skirt that has red roses embroidered in one corner of it. I also pick up a red shirt with sleeves that come to my knees to go with it. I pick up four more outfits and go to the changing room to try them on.
I exit the dressing rooms about fifteen minutes later, having decided to keep the rose skirt and matching top, along with a pair of yellow capris that have a trim of blue beads, a baby blue tank top, and a navy blue sun-dress patterned with silver stars. I discard a pair of green pants, which were too long, a gold tank top, and a bright purple dress.
"Yuna!" I whirl around hearing my name called and see Jecht holding a black and red bag. He walks over to me. "Find anything you like?"
"Yea, I did." I hold up the stack of clothes in my arms. "What's in the bag?"
"It's a surprise." He takes the stack of clothes from my arms and walks over to the counter and pays for them. The clerk puts the outfits I selected in a silver bag and Jecht walks back over to me. "Ok, now that you've got clothes I suppose that you, being a girl, will also want matching shoes and jewelry, am I right?"
I giggle and nod. "Entirely right."
We exit the store we are in and walk down the row, the iridescent store lights glowing brightly. We stop and go into a shoe store. An attendant comes over to help me with shoes and I take my bag from Jecht and show the attendant my outfits, and she helps me pick shoes that match.
I end up buying a pair of silver sandals that have a slight heel to go with my sun-dress, a pair of blue flip-flops to go with my capris, and red slide-on shoes that look like a tennis shoe without a back to go with my rose skirt. I pick up the three boxes in my arms and turn around, looking for Jecht, who is standing at the counter already. I walk over there and hand him the three pairs of shoes I wanted to buy and he purchases them for me. I notice the clerk slide another box into the bag with my shoes, but I think nothing of it.
Now laden with another bag we exit the shoe store and go into the jewelry store right across from it. Instead of buying a set of jewelry for every outfit I buy a simple pair of silver drop earrings with crystals on them, and a matching bracelet and necklace.
"Now that all of our shopping is done, how about we go out and do something?" Asks Jecht.
I smile lightly. "Are you asking me on a date?"
He smirks. "Maybe."
"Well in any case I'd love to go do something."
"All right, I have just the thing, but you might want to change out of that blitz uniform first." He picks up the red and black bag and pulls a large shoe box out from the bag from the shoe store. "Here, a little something I got you, go put it on."
I take the bag and the shoes and go to the nearest store and use their dressing room. The clothes Jecht picked out for me are something I never would have bought for myself. I open the bag and pull out a leather mini-skirt and a black tank top with a rose just under the neckline. I pull on the skirt, then the top, which leaves a fair amount of stomach showing. Then I open the box and find a small bag in there as well and I open it and pull on the matching spiked necklace and bracelet it contains. Finally I pull on black platform boots that have spikes running up the front.
I walk out of the store and a whistle meets my ears. "Nice."
"You really think so?" I turn to Jecht and ask him, smiling. "I never would have picked these out for myself, but I think I like the look."
"Well I know I like them." He chuckles. "So you ready to go?"
"Yea, where we going?"
"Downtown to Club Youkai."
