Okay, so here is Chapter 9! Its super short, but I thought we needed some more fluff before an angsty chapter, soo yeahh, anywho, enjoy! :D

Over the next couple weeks, I became more and more fond of Dalton. I hung out with Blaine a lot, and today I was going to the mall with him, Nick, Kurt, and some of Kurt's friends from Lima.

Nick and I just got out of the car at the mall when we spotted Blaine, Kurt, and six girls.

"Hey!" Kurt waved.

We walked over, smiling. Kurt introduced me to all the girls.

"This is Quinn, Mercedes, Brittany, Satan-*cough* I mean Santana" Everyone chuckled "Rachel, and Tina."

I introduced myself to everyone, seeing as Nick had already met them before.

We walked in the mall, and headed towards Charlotte Russe first. Each girl walked out with a couple bags, and me, being the gentleman, offered to carry a couple.

"Do you need any help?" I asked Brittany before taking a couple bags, seeing as how she was struggling.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed cheerfully, "I think they were trying to attack me!"

I laughed. "Damn Duval" Santana said to Nick "Do you know where I can get one of those?" She asked, directing her question to me.

"Santana!" Kurt screeched "Behavior!"

"Whatever Hummel, I was just kidding" he eyed her suspiciously "Don't worry Sterling, I'm a lesbian"

I smiled at her, slightly. Nick just wrapped his arm around me, protectively, muttering something along the lines of "never stopped her before"

I heard that and snorted with laughter.

Nick smiled at me knowingly, while everyone just stared amusingly.

"Is that like a dolphin thing?" Brittany asked, eyeing me. That caused me to double over in laughter, along with the rest of our group, excluding Brittany, who just stood there with a quizzical, yet confused look on her face.

Soon enough she started laughing as well, even though she had no clue as to why we were laughing so hard we were crying.

Overall, we were all having a blast.

We spent the whole day in and out of stores, each couple holding hands, or with Brittany and Santana, locked pinkies, and sharing kisses when no one else was looking. Everyone without their other half, just cooed and 'awed' at our 'adorableness'.

Though no one suspected it, I was still terrified. I haven't been anywhere like this since the attack, and it scared the hell out of me. I didn't want anyone to worry, so I flashed a smile when needed and played along.

I started loosening up a bit after a couple hours and just came to the conclusion that I was being paranoid. Although, I still had a weird feeling that someone was watching us. That thought quickly flew to the back of my mind as Nick lent in for another kiss. His kisses seem to always have that effect on me. And I couldn't enjoy that more.

As Nick pulled away, I mumbled a "no way" before grabbing the back of his neck, and pulling us towards the dressing room with our lips never leaving each other's, ignoring the whistles and catcalls from our friends.

The door clicked as I turned the lock and turned back towards my boyfriend, seeing something I could only portray as lust in his eyes. Our lips crashed together and Nick gave a swipe of his tongue across my lower lip and I allowed entrance willingly. At first the kiss was passionate, but soon turned to desperate and needy as lips, tongue, and teeth clashed together. I sat down on the bench as Nick straddled me and then started kissing roughly down my neck, and as I was about to moan, his lips left my skin just for a second and I had to hold back a whine. I leaned forwards again just as-

"Duval! Sterling! Put your clothes back on! We're goin' to the 'stix!"

I groaned but stood up and fixed my hair before opening my door.

"Thanks a lot Satan" I grumbled

Everyone just laughed as I grabbed Nick's hand once again and we headed out the mall headed towards Breadstix.

Today really was awesome.

But of course, whenever something good happens in my life, there's always something, or better yet, someone, to fuck it up.

"Well hello there, Jeffrey" he said with a sneer, "Long time, no see"

Cliffhanger! I'm sorry! I promise to update soon!
