Dean and Julie made plans to meet their fathers back at the office at five. They'd then grab a quick dinner then go catch the Cubs game. The duo left their fathers and headed out to catch a cab. "Well, we have seven hours until we have to meet them back here. It's your city, what do you want to do?"
"You could help me get my mom off my back and go clothes shopping for school."
"Portman, did you just ask me to go shopping?" Julie asked, quite surprised.
"Yeah, I did!"
"You know me, I'm always up for shopping."
"Yeah, I noticed. You and Connie were always coming back to the dorms carrying bags."
"I had to get a whole bunch of stuff for my room. It's hard when everyone else still lives at home."
"I know, I live in the dorms too."
"At least you knew your roommate. I'm always stuck with some random girl."
"Your roommate last semester was weird. Did she freak out every time someone came over, or was it just me she didn't like?"
"She freaked out when Connie came over," she said while they stepped into the waiting cab, "she freaked out when I had anyone over."
"Where to?" the driver asked.
"Michigan Avenue," Portman replied.
"I managed to grab a single this year. It's the same size, but I won't have a roommate to worry about."
"That will be cool," Dean replied.
"So, what all do you need?" Julie asked.
"Jeans, shoes, some of everything. I was thinking Macy's?"
"Works for me," Julie answered.
"Macy's it is," the driver replied.
The cab stopped and Dean paid the guy. Julie stepped out, but before Portman could get out, the driver stopped him. "Hey buddy, I'd go along with your girlfriends choices it I were you. She seems to have great taste."
"Yeah, thanks," he said as he stepped out.
"What did he want?" Julie asked, motioning to the cab.
"He just told me that I should go along with your choice because you have great taste."
"Oh, okay, let's go," Julie said and headed off into the store.
"You know what we should do while you're here?" Portman asked.
"What?"
"We should go to Six Flags"
"That would be awesome. So, you want to go to the men's or women's section first?"
"Why don't you pick up what you need, I'll get what I need, then we can go to lunch?"
"Works for me"
