Chapter 10 - A Date?
"Oh, this is so cute!" Keely exclaimed as she grabbed what seemed like everything that was on sale off of the rack.
"Keel, are you gonna buy everything?" Phil asked.
Keely shrugged. "Maybe." Phil smiled and rolled his eyes. "Um, ok... Phil, I'm gonna try this stuff on and I want you to tell me what you think about the outfits, okay?"
"Okay," he said. He loved watching her be a model... it was like she was HIS model to keep.
About three minutes later Keely came out in a black t-shirt, a jean skirt that went past her knees, black flip-flops, and a silver scarf around her neck with a black beret hat. Phil thought she looked gorgeous.
"Wow... perfect, Keel! You look great!"
"Thanks." She smiled and went into the room to change into another outfit. This time she had on another black t-shirt, but it said 'LOST IN MUSIC' in pink writing across the middle with guitars, drums, and microphones scattered all over it. Phil couldn't help but notice her jeans. They seemed like they fit perfectly. She was wearing pink Ug Boots with the fur rolled up so you couldn't see it, which matched with her shirt. Phil's jaw dropped. 'God, she's sexy,' he thought.
"Oh, I love that one, Keel," he said, staring at her. She spun around, smiled, and went back into the room and changed into one more outfit.
A plain red t-shirt, a jean skirt that went past her knees, a turqouise scarf with sequins all on it, and a rainbow bracelet with turquoise which tied in with her scarf, and black sequined flip-flops. Phil liked all three of them, so she decided to buy all three outfits.
Next they went to the arcade to play some games. Keely was hoping that Phil would win her a stuffed animal... that was always a sign that a boy liked you.
"Oh, look, Phil! Look at that adorable stuffed monkey!" she said. It was average size. It was brown with cream-colored 'skin.' Phil walked up to the cashier and asked him, "How many tickets is that brown monkey?" "That one is..." he scanned the shelf. "That one is one-hundred tickets." Keely's jaw dropped.
"Don't worry, I'll get it for you, Keel. I promise." Keely smiled and followed him around to all of the ticket-awarding games.
Sure enough, he got enough tickets and got Keely the stuffed monkey. As he handed it to her she said, "Oh, Phil! Thank you!" and kissed him on the cheek. It was pretty close to his lips this time.
"Hey, I promised, didn't I?" They both grinned at each other and Keely proudly tucked the monkey in one of her many thousands of shopping bags. Then they headed to the food court to get something to eat.
"Keel, what do you wanna eat?" he asked her as they looked around at all of the choices. They had Sbarro (pizza), Chick-fil-A, Quizno's Sub, Mandarin Express (which was Chinese food), and Rochester Hots and Burgers.
"Geez, um... too hard to choose. What are you getting?" she asked.
"Sbarro. I could go for some pizza right now."
"Um... I guess I'll get that, too."
"Okay." Keely smiled and walked to the line with Phil to get her food.
They talked about Christmas while they ate. "Phil, what do you want for Christmas?" Keely asked.
"You," he mumbled. Luckily Keely didm't hear him.
"Huh?" she asked, her eyes growing wide. 'Did he say what I think he said?' she thought.
"I said... goo! You know that gooey stuff you stick to things? Yeah. That." Keely looked at him uncertainly.
"Okay..." she said as she shook her head quicky and looked around the mall. "Wow, this mall is big, huh? I can't get over it!"
"Oh, this is nothing compared to the mall in 2121," Phil whispered. "Some of them are..." but he was cut off by the one and only Owen approaching their table.
"Welly welly well, lookie here. Hey Keel, whatcha doin?" he asked.
"I'm on a..." she looked at Phil uneasily. "I'm... I'm on a date, Owen." Phil smiled at Keely and she smiled back.
"Oh," he said. "Well, I guess I'll see ya later then"
"Okay," Phil said, waving goodbye as he left the table.
As they both got up to throw their trash away, not one of them mentioned anything about Keely's claim about being on a date.
