Welcome back for chapter four. We're still in John's point of view, just to keep things clear. Hope you all enjoy.

PN: Singyourheartout, John will try really hard to have fewer boners but if he really wants to I can't stop him. ; )

Recap: John and Kelly were at the gym when some guy tried to pick Kelly up. She let him have it, and it certainly impressed John. After Kelly showered, she invited John to go shopping with her.

Love Like Woe

Kelly and I left the hotel in her rental car, which was a nice looking Infiniti, and she headed towards the mall. The fact that she was driving a nice looking Infiniti had me wondering exactly did she does for a living. Asking her at this point seemed kind of rude to me so I would just have to deal with the burning question just a little while longer. She parked in the massive parking lot and we headed inside after she locked the car. I followed Kelly around the mall as she went from store to store, obviously looking for something but unable to find it. "Is there something you're looking for, Kelly?" She turned around and I almost ran into her if I wasn't paying attention.

"It's one of those 'I know it when I see it' type of things."

"Oh." I continued to follow Kelly until she walked into Victoria's Secret. "Whoa! I'll wait out here."

"Are you sure, John?" I nodded furiously. "Suit yourself. I shouldn't be long."

"I'll be here." While Kelly was in Victoria's Secret, I walked towards a t-shirt kiosk in front of the store and started to browse. I found three shirts I liked, paid for them and continued to wait for Kelly. Five minutes later, she came out with a pretty big bag in her hand. "Looks like you did some serious shopping." She smiled.

"Looks like you found something you liked too, John."

"It's been my experience that you you can never have too many t-shirts." Kelly laughed and motioned for me to follow her.

"Hungry, John?"

"Yeah, actually." Kelly flashed a smile at me and I swallowed hard.

"Great, I know a great place here in the food court." She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the food court. It wasn't mobbed, which was weird, but I wasn't complaining. Kelly led me to this Mexican looking restaurant and turned to face me with a huge smile on her face. "Do you like Mexican food?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Then you're going to love this place." She let go of my hand and practically jumped in line. I went to follow her but some dude cut me off. I rolled my eyes and stood behind the guy. I looked at his face and he wasn't trying to hide the fact that he was checking out Kelly's butt. I laughed and shook my head; at least I put effort into hiding it.

"Hey, buddy, make it less of a show will ya?" The guy turned around with a smirk on his face.

"Stop being jealous, man. Ten bucks says she's going home with me."

"Fat chance, man. She's way out of your league."

"Like she's in yours? Get real."

"Don't try it, man. You won't like what happens."

"Just watch me, man." I shook my head and watched as this guy tapped on Kelly's shoulder to get her attention. "Hey, baby." Kelly looked back at the guy, rolled her eyes and grabbed her food. I laughed and waited for the guy to move so I could get my own food. He moved off to the side with a look of shock on his face. I grabbed my food and stopped in front of him.

"Told you, man." I walked past the guy laughing and joined Kelly at her table.

"Who the hell was that creep?"

"Someone who honestly thought he was in your league. I tried to tell him not to even try it but he didn't believe me." Kelly laughed and continued to eat her food, which looked a lot like loaded nachos. "Are those nachos, Kelly?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Mind if I try some? You can have some of mine, if you'd like." Kelly nodded and pushed her tray towards mine, offering her food to me. She grabbed my fork and took some of my burrito. "That's really good."

"This place doesn't disappoint, John."

"You've been here before?"

"Many times. I definitely travel a lot, almost as much as you." I furrowed my brow in confusion. What would she be doing, if she travels as much as I do?

"What do you do?"

"You'll find out tonight, John. Don't you worry." She winked at me and I swallowed hard, half choking on a piece of my burrito. "Are you alright, John?" I nodded, quickly grabbing my drink to try to ease the burrito down. Tonight was definitely not going to come fast enough, especially for me.

-FIN-

Hope ya'll enjoyed it. Sorry about the wait. Next one will be out soon. : )
