Title: How Love Works

Chapter 14: Girls Day Out

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that day Paul and Amy were having breakfast in the hotel café. It was around 10:45 a.m. Paul and Amy sat in a booth by a window. They had the day off, and what way better, then to spend the day with your girlfriend/boyfriend.

"So, what did you do when I was out with Steph last night?" Amy asked sipping her orange juice.

"Nothing, um…I hung out with….uh…Shawn…yeah I hung out with Shawn." Paul said, while thinking of Steph at the mention of her name. "What did you two do?"

"We went and did some catching up. It seemed like we haven't talked in years." Amy stirred her drink. "I learned some many new things about her."

"Sounds like you two had fun." Paul said.

"Yeah, I wonder if she'll break up with Randy tonight." Amy said aloud as she covered her mouth for letting that slip out.

"What do you mean?" Paul asked wanting all the details, Randy was, well, he didn't know if they were still friends, but he really wanted to know.

"Well, she said she didn't have any feelings other then friendship towards Randy anymore." Amy spoke as the waitress came with their food.

Paul and Amy waited until the waitress left to start eating. They ate in silence for a couple of minutes. Paul looked out the window when he took a drink of his orange juice. He saw Stephanie and Trish walking on the sidewalk across the street. He smiled. He loved seeing Steph smile. They were acting as if they were still young teenagers. They were running around and just having a good time. He wondered why Steph was really going break up with Randy. After thinking about Stephanie for a little while longer he started another conversation with Amy.

~*~*~

"O.k. what are we going to do now?" Steph ran.

"We are going to hide out in the mall." Trish also ran.

They had ran into the story across the street from the hotel they were staying at. They walked around like normal people would. They found an aisle that was empty. Seeing that it was early there wasn't that many people at the story. Both girls looked around before doing what they dared each other. They each knocked all the stuffed animals off of the shelf. As they were doing that the store manager was checking the aisles. The manager came across Trish and Steph and yelled at them. That's when Trish and Steph ran out of the store and to the mall.

"We made it." Trish said breathless.

"Did you see the look on his face? He was so pissed off." Stephanie laughed.

"Yeah, so we are at the mall. What do you want to do?" Trish asked.

"I got an idea. Why don't we go buy the same outfit and then go get our pictures done together?" Stephanie offered.

"Great idea. When we look at the picture we will remember the great girls day out we had." Trish laughed as they headed to the first store.

"We could get wallet sizes to give all our friends and family." Stephanie said as they walked into the store Guess.

"Are you going to give one to Randy?" Trish asked as they started going through some clothes.

"It depends. If he still wants to be friends then yeah I will." Stephanie answered.

Stephanie now couldn't keep Randy off her mind. Thanks to Trish, now she has to think about Randy and how she'll be hurting him. The whole point of this day was to be just to girls going out, not thinking about guys. And look what happens. Randy gets into her mind. She had told Trish yesterday about her issue with Randy. She told her that she was going to break up with him. Of course she couldn't tell Trish the whole truth about breaking up with Randy. It would just lead Trish to ask more questions. Steph lost her thought when Trish came up to her.

"Hey girl, how about this shirt?" Trish held up black baby tee with pink trimming were the shirt was sown together.

"That's cute, but kind of plain. Don't you think?" Steph put her to cents in.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. Hey, wait a minute." Trish thought of an idea. "We could buy this shirt and go to that make your own design place."

"That is a pretty good idea." Steph smiled. "How about these pants?" Steph held up a pair of matching pants. Black with pink trimming.

"Awesome. Let's go buy them." Trish walked over to the cashier.

Steph's mind was free of Randy finally. They bought their outfits and went over to Your Designs.

"How may I help you two ladies?" The sales clerk asked walking up to the two.

"We would like to design our shirts." Stephanie said as she pulled her shirt out.

"And our pants." Trish pulled out the matching pants.

"O.k. well right this way." The sales clerk said.

The sales clerk led Steph and Trish to the back of the store. They walked behind a curtain and say a couple tables and every art supply you could think of in there.

"Feel free to sit any where you want and use any art supplies you need." He said. "If you need any help that is Tiffany. Just ask her." He finished and walked out.

There were already a couple of people in there making designs on their clothes. Trish and Steph chose a table and sat down. They began to design.

"So what are we going to put on our shirts?" Trish asked as she grabbed some pink and black art supplies.

"I was thinking we could put 'best friends' on the front." Steph thought.

"I like it, and underneath 'best friends' we could put 'forever'" Trish said as she sat next to Steph.

"I like it. Let's do that." Steph said as she grabbed a pink art supply.

After the girls were done, their shirts and pants looked great. They wrote best friends forever in sparkling pink in the middle of the shirt. They had cut the shirt into a v-neck and put pink jewels on the v part of the shirt and the rim. They put pink jewels on the parts where the pockets were.

They went and paid the sales clerk and left. Next they went to a shoe store to get matching pairs of shoes. It was like a miracle. They found these black shoes that had pink as the trimming of the shoes, the laces were also pink. So of course they got those. They paid for them and left.

"Now, I think we should get our pictures done." Stephanie said, she felt like she was a teen again.

"Nope, not yet." Trish smiled looking at the store in front of her.

"What do you mean not yet, we look alike." Stephanie held up the bag of clothes.

"Our hair, nails, and our make-up." Trish dragged Stephanie to the beauty salon.

"Trish, when I said we should be alike I didn't mean actually everything be the same for the picture." Stephanie laughed.

"I know, but it would be fun to be pampered." Trish said.

"Trish, someone does our hair, nails, and make-up everyday for the shows." Stephanie said.

"I know, but they do it quick, and we don't get to relax. If we get pampered here we can relax." Trish all out begged.

"O.k. we'll get pampered, then we get our pictures done." Stephanie said as she set her bag down in the women's locker room that Trish had got her in minutes ago.

"Deal." Trish smiled.

After an hour and a half, they were done being pampered. They both got their hair, nails, and make-up done the same. Their hair was straightened out, and then curled in different places. Their nails were painted black with a pink rose in the middle of each finger. There make-up was almost the same. They had to use what colors looked best on them. They paid the people, then left to get the pictures done.

"We would like the pink tigers background." Trish told the front counter lady.

"Alright, that will be $14.65 please." The lady counted.

Stephanie and Trish paid. Each paying half the price. They waited till their number was called. After a couple of minutes it was their turn.

Stephanie and Trish walked into the room. They took four poses. Which all turned out cute. Now was the time to choose the best looking one.

"I like this one." Stephanie pointed.

To the one where they were both sitting on the floor with Stephanie's left leg laying straight and her right leg bent. So her legs made a four that was lying down. Her right hand reaching over her legs placed in front of her. Her left hand was placed on her side so she could balance herself. Trish in the same pose but opposite directions.

"Yeah, I like that one too, but I also like this one." Trish said.

She pointed to the one they were both leaning against a table sided by side with their arms folded. Their heads lying on each others.

The other two pose they really didn't like. So they tossed them out right away.

"Why don't we get both?" Trish said.

"Sure, it is only a dollar extra." Steph said with a smile.

They both decided to get both poses. After they get the wallet size pictures they leave the place. They both were thirsty after doing all the shopping and running around to each store. So they got a milkshake and sat down.

"I had fun today." Stephanie sipped her milkshake.

"So did I." Trish smiled, she was glad to see her friend in better sprits.

From what Stephanie told her she knew that Steph didn't want to go out with Randy anymore. What Trish knew, that Steph didn't know was that, she knew Stephanie was only telling her part truth. She knew Stephanie only liked Randy as a friend, and she also knew Steph was in love with Paul. Trish was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Stephanie yell.

"WHAT THE FUCK."

Trish looked over to where Stephanie was looking. She was so shocked at what she saw. She didn't know what to say.
