One Week Later
"Max, how are we going to do this?" Angel asked as we pulled into the mall parking lot. We had gotten a huge house. Not including the attic and basement, it was two stories. I will not say the location, because, hello? In hiding?
"What do you mean sweetie?" I asked quietly. Yeah. Ella and me had started feeling sick now.
"Like, are we all going together, or are we going to split into groups?" Oh.
"It doesn't matter," I said quickly. Ella smiled.
"All I know is I'm with Max no matter what," she said happily. Fang nodded.
"Me too." I smiled and got out of the SUV.
Iggy and Fang's competition was already getting worse. They almost got into a real fight yesterday. It was getting bad.
"So, what do you guys think?" I asked, addressing everyone else. Mom smiled.
"I can take the younger ones, and you four can go," she suggested. I nodded.
"Okay. Is that okay with everyone?" They all nodded. "Good."
"Meet back here at six," she ordered. I nodded. Fang grabbed my hand and we walked inside.
"So, tell me, have you two thought of any names?" Ella asked. We were all starving. We had stopped and gotten a snack. I put a French fry in my mouth.
"Well, for a girl, I was thinking Maxine," Iggy teased. I rolled my eyes.
"For a boy, I was thinking Leroy," Fang said before laughing. What was it with that boy and the name Leroy?
"Well, you two are about to be put to a real test," I warned. They looked confused.
"Helping two girls shop!" Ella squealed. We both stood up, and they looked at each other.
"Bag boys," they said in unison. We nodded.
"Someone's got to do it," I reminded them. They reluctantly stood up. We threw all of our stuff away.
"We should make sure to buy some stuff for later," Ella pointed out. I thought.
"Damn it! I forgot we're going to be fat," I whined. Fang grabbed my hand.
"Well you'll live," he said, not very nicely. I frowned.
"Thanks. You're so sweet," I said sarcastically. He smiled.
"I try." I rolled my eyes, and pulled my hand free so I could cross my arms.
"Mom said it's a school with no uniforms," Ella said enthusiastically.
"That just means more we have to buy," I said, turning to the guys. "Which means…"
"More bags to carry," Ella finished. They both let out a groan. We slapped high fives.
"Today is going to be fun," I said to myself, and everyone with me. Ella nodded. Fang and Iggy just stared at me.
"Oh my gosh," Ella said in her girly-girl tone. I looked at her. She leaned over to whisper the rest in my ear. "We'll have to go…uh…" I nodded. I got what she meant.
"We'll send them off somewhere else," I said after giving it some thought. They both stared at us.
"Nothing," Ella said smirking. We both nodded. They shook their heads.
"Women are so confusing," Iggy muttered. Fang nodded.
"And stupid," he teased. We gasped and turned to face him. I got right in his face.
"What was that?" I asked, pressing my foot on his toe. He smirked.
"Are you going to kick my ass?" I rolled my eyes and backed off.
"Maybe. I was thinking about it." He smirked.
"Or you could do that other thing instead," he suggested. I shook my head.
"Nah." He frowned, and we pulled them into the first store. American Eagle.
"People are staring at us," Fang hissed. I rolled my eyes.
"Get over it," I said, half-listening. Ella was showing me this really cute pair of shorts. They were white, and they were short. Not short, short, but my kind of short.
"Like them? For you?" she asked hopefully. I nodded.
"Yeah." She smiled and Fang just stared at us.
"You know, you two would be great at finding ways to torture men," he said shaking his head. We both grinned evilly.
"That could be arranged," I said, giving Fang an I-know-something-you-don't look.
"What?" he asked raising an eyebrow. I shrugged, and we paid for everything we had gotten. When we got out of the store, Fang and Iggy held out their arms.
"We've trained them so well," Ella observed. I nodded.
"Probably because they know we can kick their asses," I pointed out. She nodded.
"Probably. And they also know since this is all their fault we're pregnant in the first place," she added. I nodded and we walked off, leaving them behind just staring at us.
"My fault?" Fang asked walking in front of us. I nodded. "You were the one that told me to in the first place!" I rolled my eyes.
"Fang, it's a joke." He narrowed his eyes at me, but then smiled.
"You just made me think of something," he said in a tone that told me what he was thinking of. I rolled my eyes and kept walking.
"Where now?" Ella asked. I pointed to Body Central. She grinned and nodded.
"Let's go," she said excitedly.
"Okay, we've been to New York and Co., Body Central, American Eagle, Abercrombie, Aeropostale, Belk's, Parisians, JC Penny's, Hollister, and just about every store that has clothes!" Iggy exclaimed. "Can we please just take a break?" Ella looked at me and I nodded. Time.
"Well, you guys
can. We're going to go to…"
"KB Toys," she lied. I
looked at her, and the warily nodded. They just stared at us.
"It's never too early to start looking for baby toys," I added enthusiastically. "You two just go rest, and we'll meet you in the food court." They stared at us for a second and then nodded.
"Dude, let's take these to the SUV. Find Val and get the keys," I heard Fang say as they were walking off.
"KB Toys?" I asked. She shrugged.
"It was the first thing that came to mind," she said innocently. Uh…
"Okay." I rolled my eyes, and we walked into…dare I say, Victoria's Secret.
"Oh, after we go here, Pink has awesome clothes," Ella said sweetly. I nodded.
"Okay," I muttered. This was going to be awkward…especially since the cashier was a guy. I took a deep breath, and reluctantly looked around.
"Let's hurry and get rid of these bags before we run into the guys," Ella hissed as we were walking into pink.
"I wish we had gotten some from them," I said sadly. She nodded.
"Let's just get some stuff here, and move all the stuff to the pink bags," she suggested. I nodded.
"Good idea."
They had a lot of cute sweats that went to a little lower than my
knees. As strange as this sounds, there wasn't much that was pink.
I mean, yeah there was some, but not as much as I thought. I actually
bought a pair of read sweats with pink written on the leg in white
letters, and a pair of blue sweat with pink written on the leg in
green.
"Now shove it all in there, and let's go find them," I said quickly. She nodded.
We ran off to where there was no one around, and we transferred the items into the one bag. It said Pink, so they wouldn't get suspicious. We threw away the other one, and we walked to find them.
Someone slammed into
me.
"You bast—"
"I'm so sorry," a guy with blonde hair said. He looked up and glared at his friend.
"It's okay I guess," I said quickly. "Come on Linds, we have to go." She looked at me for a second and then nodded.
"Okay."
"Hey, what's your name?" he asked, giving me a smile. I sighed.
"Allison. I'm new here," I said quickly. He nodded.
"Well Allison, I'm Jake. Nice to meet you. Sorry about how we met. Where are you going to go to school?" I shrugged.
"I'm not sure. Like I said, I'm new." Fang walked up.
"M…Allison," he said blankly. I looked up at him and nodded.
"Yes?" Ella pulled on my arm.
"We have to go," she said sweetly. I nodded.
"Who the hell was that?" Iggy asked curiously.
"Some guy named Jake. I don't know. He slammed into me and wouldn't quit asking me questions." Fang smirked.
"I guess I saved you then, huh?" I nodded, and put my arm in his.
"Yes you did."
"Now we only have shoe shopping left," Ella reminded me. "But getting them something else to wear is kind of more important." I nodded.
"Come on you two. Let's go."
"How does this look?" Ella asked pulling Iggy to where I could see him. I nodded.
"It looks good," I admired. She smiled. "How about this?" Fang crossed his arms.
"One good way to tell when a guy really loves a girl: he lets her treat him like a Barbie doll!" I smiled and kissed his cheek.
"I'm sorry." He smiled.
"It's okay now." Ella put a hat on Iggy's head and moved it around.
"Does this totally ruin everything?" she asked taking a step back. I nodded.
"How do girls see this kind of stuff?" Iggy asked looking at Fang. He just shrugged.
"I have no clue." I was giving Fang this skater type look, with a lot of black. I let him choose the color. Why that boy loves so much black, I will never know. It does look really good on him though.
"Fang, come here,"
I said gesturing for him to come over to where the hats were. I
picked up a solid black toboggan. I put it on his head, and fixed his
bangs underneath it. That looked hot!
"That looks really
good!" Ella squealed. I smiled.
"Thanks. Now that hat works," I told her. She smiled.
"I know." Fang was staring at me.
"I love you," he whispered as I was taking off his hat. I smiled.
"I love you too." He smiled, and I grabbed his hand.
"Now, that's like outfit number seven hundred and four," I said sarcastically. "Do you think you're done?" He nodded.
"Yes. Even though it's not really that many, I have enough for two weeks without doing any laundry." I nodded.
"Okay." He smiled, and I grabbed all of the outfits. He pulled his shirt off before I got out, and he tilted my head up. He kissed me gently. When he pulled back, I smiled. I kissed him quickly, and I walked out. There were still some in there, but he would get those.
"Allison, come here," Ella said quickly. I looked over at her, and she was in the hat section. "How do you think this would look on him?" I grinned.
"Where is your Barbie doll?" I teased. She sighed.
"Changing into his old clothes. He said he was finished too. I mean he has about as many as Fang. To think, we only had to go to one store for them." I nodded, and Fang came out of the dressing rooms.
"I am not going shopping for a very, very long time," he said as he walked up to us. I smiled.
"Why? This is fun!" he rolled his eyes.
"Whatever." Iggy walked out.
"It feels good to be in my own clothes!" Ella smirked.
"Well, just so you know, those will be your clothes soon." Iggy frowned.
"Damn. We're too in love for our own good," he said looking at Fang. He looked up at me, and our eyes met. He had told me that before…he was too in love with me for his own good. I smiled.
"Yes we are. Hopelessly in love," Fang said quietly, not looking away from me.
"Come on. Let's pay for all of this, and get out of here!" I nodded, and looked at the hats. There was a solid black baseball hat type thing, but no writing. Solid black. I got closer and I realized it had black wings stitched on the side.
"Fang, come here!" He turned and looked at me.
"What?" he asked, walking beside me.
"This hat." He looked at it and grinned. I put it on backwards, and I smiled. He could so pull of a gangster look too. I smiled and he rolled his eyes. He looked in the mirror and smiled.
"If you like it…" I nodded, and he sighed. "Okay." I smiled and I grabbed all of the clothes we had for him. When the lady saw us, she just stared.
"Uh…we had to leave all our old stuff behind," Ella explained. She smiled and nodded.
After about ten minutes of ringing stuff up, she was done. Thank God no one else was in here. I looked at my phone. It was six o'clock. I grabbed some of the tons of bags we had from just them, and I walked towards the door.
"We have to hurry," I muttered. Fang looked at his phone and nodded.
"Yeah."
Mom was waiting on us once we got there. We managed to put all of the bags in the back of the SUV, and then all of us. Trust me, there were a lot.
"So, did everyone have fun?"
