Chapter 12: Just in case
-"Do I really need all these shoes, Kitty?" I asked her as I looked at the pile in front of me, consisting of what seemed to me to be over a hundred pairs of shoes.
-"You can never have too many shoes Amelia," she told me as she tried yet another red peep toe pump.
-"Sure, but how much is this really gonna cost? I mean, come on, I can't drive the school into ruins because of a pair of shoes!"
-"Relax Ames, it's no biggy. Like, there's plenty of money."
-"I'm trusting you on this one Kit," I said and laughed as a guy from the staff came over to us.
-"Do you need any help?" he asked politely and smiled dazzlingly at me, Kitty was bizzy with gathering her shoes.
-"Um, could you help me with these?" I asked him and pointed to the boxes of shoes. He nodded and smiled again at me as he carried them to the cash register.
I pulled out my black credit card for the second time that day, a lot more confident then the first. I had to have Kitty go first, just to make sure I wasn't getting punked.
Once again we made a deal with the staff at Steve Madden that we would come back and get it later, when we weren't walking.
After our shoe-shopping, we went to a huge mall-like building with clothes from brands like Miu Miu, Emilio Pucci, Burberry, All Saints, Stella McCartney, Chanel and Marchesa. After a few hours there, we finally hit Alexander McQueen. Ever since I'd seen all the beautiful creations at N.Y.V. I'd fallen in love with his work. I felt my eyes widen as I took in the sight in front of me.
I walked slowly into the shop, taking it all in. The first things my eyes fell upon were a pair of leather fingerless gloves and a black leather tote, which I immediately decided I wasn't leaving the store without.
The guy at the counter at Alexander McQueen quickly became one of my favorite people in the world. Christian was gay and loved it, and so did I. He had impeccable taste, and he knew mine the second he saw the items I'd fallen in love with.
-"That looks so good on you, Amelia!" he said and grinned at me. I took a swirl just for the heck of it, and almost tripped in the heels I'd been given. Apart from the black booties, I was also wearing a black dress with red roses on it.
-"All good fashionistas have a gay friend, so now you can consider yourself a fashionista in training. You would have been an official fashionista, hadn't it been for the fact that this is apparently your first shopping trip, like, ever," Christian exclaimed after two hours inside the fabulous shop. Kitty had been busy with something, leaving me in Christians putty hands. He handed me a piece of paper with his phone number, so that I could call him in any fashion or boyfriend crisis. I'd told him about Caleb, so he winked at me when he mentioned boyfriend, and I couldn't help but giggle.
-"I'll call you later, Chris!" I yelled at him as Kitty and I walked through the door with ten bags each on our hands. We didn't get all the bags from Alex McQueen, some were from All saints, Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs among others. There where still a few items that we didn't bring with us that waited in it's respective store for us to come back later and pick up.
-"All I need now is a phone and the books for school," I told Kitty as we strolled down towards the closest bookstore.
-"Yeah, like, you totally need a phone!" she answered and steered me into the bookstore. I looked at my list and then around the shop a few times, before sighing and heading to the elderly woman behind the register.
-"Umm, excuse me madam? Can you help me with finding these books? I need them for school," I told her, my voice almost sounding desperate. I really wanted to get home and unpack.
Well, that was a lie. I wanted to get back so I could see Caleb again.
