So once again soo sorry this is late, and this chapter is way over due! And since finals are in a few weeks the next update should be middle of next month. However, because I know I won't be updating soon this chapter is extra long and i hope you enjoy it.
May's P.O.V.
That was the most refreshing shopping trip ever, and I'm not even finished yet! Poor Drew, I think I gave him and his credit cards a good workout. Anyways, the only reason that we stopped was because it's lunch time and this place has the most amazing ramen noodles ever!
"Here's your noodles May." He placed the steaming hot bowl of noodles in front of me.
"Thanks Drew! Yum! This city has the best ramen noodles in the whole region, scratch that the best noodles in all of the regions!" Yay noodles!
"What's so special about these noodles?" He was poking at his fancy looking salad. It suits him, green food and green hair ha that was pretty funny.
"I don't know they're just super amazing. I have no clue what makes these ones so wonderful."
I love noodles yes I do, I love noodles how bout you! I really do have no clue what makes these noodles so extraordinary. Then again I think all noodles are the best ones yet, well except for the one time I had noodles at this one airport while I was in my layover in Johto to Hoenn. Yuck those noodles were the worst ones I have ever tasted! I bet I could've made better ones and I can't even cook!
"Maybe it's because you're eating them with me."
I nodded my head in agreement. Yah Drew did seem to make everything appear better when he was around. Maybe was because he's so hot. Like how in those annoying commercials for the stupidest products ever you really want to pick up the phone and buy one anyways because the hot model guy made it look so damn good. Now that was what Drew does, fricking turns my poor brain to noodles!
"Yeah, that has to be it. Hey wait a minute! Nothing like being full of yourself."
Dude you have some serious 'I am just the most amazing person in the world to grace this planet with my presence' issue going on. Really? Could your head be any bigger right now? I think it would pop if any more of your huge ego got in there.
"But you agreed. The noodles taste better because I'm here." Shame on me for agreeing, but was so not my fault that I couldn't think straight when he was around. I blame him. If he wasn't so hot we wouldn't have this problem in the first place!
"Only because I wasn't thinking clearly." And you can totally blame yourself for that one Mr. I'm just so Perfect. Then again he would take pride in messing with my ability to think straight.
"See, the only reinforces that fact that you are an airhead."
Seriously! What did we just travel through a time warp and I didn't notice? Are we ten years old again or something? Because you haven't called me an airhead since we were preteens. And I thought that we could be moving forward in our relationship. Turns out we just took an ignoramus step backwards.
"Well guess what. Just in case you forgot THIS airhead just so happens to have won the contest yesterday!"
"It was a classic example of being saved by the bell. If there had been another minute on the clock I would have won, no problem."
"But the time limit is one of the elements that makes a contest battle, a contest battle. Don't be a hater."
"I'm not a hater, I was simply pointing out the fact that yes you did win, but it was luck."
Luck? Pshaw, like luck had anything to do with it. I presume his huge ego was finally coming out again. I mean I really should have seen it coming seeing as I totally used him yesterday to help put on my awesome Pokémon contest beauty pageant idea. And I did make him dress up like my anime crush, Tuxedo Mask. I guess I can let him get away with that 'it was luck' comment just this once.
"You know what Drew, you're lucky that you have a pretty face because obviously your manners have gotten you nowhere in life this far."
"Well you have one thing right, I am unbelievably attractive."
Like I said before, what a HUGE ego problem. I wonder what would happen if he turned into an ugly beast like in the movie Beastly! Although, I bet Drew could rock some strange body tattoos just like Alex did.
"Yes Drew, we both know that you're hot," I said sarcastically, "Now as your reward for being such a hottie I get to take you shopping for clothes! Come on let's move out!" hehehe I so own.
"I'm sorry May! Please don't make me go shopping again! Why do you even need that many outfits? WAIT you owe me and I want to redeem that right now!" yah that's right you should be sorry, but it's too little too late for now. You lose.
"We're going shopping for you now silly! Plus I needed a different costume for each contest and then back up outfits in case something ends up clashing somehow and emergency clothes duh! And no you cannot redeem your I-owe-you." Gosh guys are so clueless when it comes to fashion and girls. The Glitz Region really did me good. A high fashion region is some place that every girl should go to once in their lifetime. Thanks to that I have a bit of an expensive taste now.
"Please don't make me go shopping for myself!" too late for that.
"Oh I know, we can get you matching costumes so that at a contest we can coordinate clothes wise and Pokémon wise! I am so smart!" that would really shock the world! The famous Drew and May at the same contests in matching outfits! People would really think we're a couple then. Scratch that, they'd think we were getting married.
"I think I'm going to cry." Good you should.
"That's the spirit! Now come on your credit cards aren't maxed out yet!"
"But May my credit cards can't be maxed out!"
"Would you quit whining already!"
I grabbed his wrist and dragged him off into the great unknown of the mall.
May's P.O.V.
"Come on May, we've been shopping for hours. If we go back now you can have full use of the spa." It was a tempting offer; whoa he had a spa in his house? Once again, shouldn't be surprised anymore. I bet it's nice to have money be an expendable thing.
"But Drew we're almost done! All we need now is new traveling clothes for both of us and we're finished." It was only two hours you big wimp! You're lucky that could have taken so much longer, but I was feeling nice.
"What's wrong with my traveling clothes?" Such a guy question!
"Hm, let me see… maybe it's that you've been wearing them since the end of the Gemstone Region when I headed off to Glitz and you went somewhere else. There's no use arguing let's go!" I grabbed his hand and dragged him into Under 21.
Now what would Drew look good in? Maybe these pants with that shirt and the black jacket? How about the faded jeans with the purple shirt and the short sleeved jacket? What about the black shirt with the jean shorts? No, no, and no! Ugh, this might be harder than I originally thought.
"Hey May, what do you think about this?" I turned to find Drew in an outfit that was not only his style, but well put together. He was wearing a pair of loose fitted dark jeans with a somewhat fitted short sleeve lilac shirt. The colors really should have clashed, but just like everything else Drew touched, it turned to gold. I have to admit he did a good job, and I think the clothes made him look hotter… if that was even possible.
"You look nice, but I know something that will make you look amazing." I just spotted a black, long sleeve, button down dress shirt hanging on the wall. I ran over to it and flung it at Drew. He caught it in one hand and raised his eyebrows at me.
"Just try it on! You'll look great!" He just shrugged and slipped it on, but of course he had to tweak it to fit his Drewness. He left it unbuttoned and rolled up the sleeves to just above his elbows. I gave him a once over and smiled. I am amazing with clothes!
"What are you smiling about?" He did his signature hair flick.
"You look hot and it's all thanks to me!"
"Well, we both already know I'm hot, but the only thing you did was give me the black shirt."
"It pulled the outfit together!" I cannot believe he was being so unappreciative!
"Yah whatever May, you keep telling yourself that. Now that I'm done with, it's your turn. I'll be right back." He spun around and headed to the girls section of the store. I wonder if his taste in girl's clothes is just as good as his own fashion sense. If so then I just have to see this. I snuck over and followed Drew. He was just standing there, with his back to me, looking over everything.
"You know May, if you wanted to help pick out your outfit you could have asked instead of just standing there staring at me. Although, I'm sure that the view is pretty great." Shit, he was good, or maybe I was just bad. I think it's most likely the latter.
"It's not that I don't trust you or anything, I was just curios." Most guys can't dress themselves to save their lives. You on the other hand would know how to dress yourself because somehow you can do everything. Note to self: Learn what his weakness is and use it against him somehow in the future.
"Okay good, so go in the dressing room and try on these," he threw a pile of clothes at me and shoved me into the changing room.
Hm, I wonder what Drew picked out for me. Mine as well give it a chance, I mean it couldn't hurt. And if it is that bad then I just won't walk out of the dressing room.
Oh my god Drew is a genius! A plain red sleeveless tank top with crochet straps, with a back o-ring detail, on top of a pair of dark boycut Bermuda shorts. I slipped on the off white sleeveless open front shrug, and snapped the thick brown fashion belt over it. This outfit looks amazing! I did a quick spin in front of the mirror and smiled.
"Hey May, if you're done twirling in front of the mirror could you come on out and show me the outfit." How did he know I was twirling? Must be a Drew thing.
"I was so not twirling!" I slipped on the brown beaded t-strap flats before I stepped out of the room. "Tada! So what do you think?" Well, look at that picture! I'm going to remember the look on Drew's face forever!
"It looks great, but it's missing something." Well obviously it looks amazing! Your mouth was hanging wide open! But I know what he means, something's missing. Aha! I know what it is!
"I know what I need! ACCESSORIES!" Yes the key to every outfit is the sparkle! Or so I was taught last region.
"And I just so happen to know the perfect place." Cool!
"Drew where on Earth are we going?" I whined.
"Chill out we're already here." I looked up to see the familiar Love and Patience logo on an upscale looking building.
"Um Drew, I wasn't serious about maxing out your credit cards you know. This place's price tags start in the five digit range." Although I know your cards have a limit and all.
"I guess we're lucky that I know the owner then." He grabbed my hand and pulled me through the glass double doors.
Holy shit this place is huge! Wow I guess all of the Haydens know how to live in luxury. This store has to be at least ten times bigger than the ones I've been to before.
"Hello Drew, welcome back," said a young lady from behind a counter, "and to what do I owe this pleasant surprise visit?" I wonder how much time Drew spends here. That girl looks pretty friendly with him and that is so not okay with me. Ugh, I sound like a crazy over protective girlfriend. Well minus the girlfriend part… for now. Hopefully that will change soon.
"Hey Gemma, I'm here to pick up the set I had made." Set? As in like a jewelry set? As in he had it made for me! As in like that is the sweetest thing ever! Got to love Drew.
"Okay, let me just go in the back and get it for you," she disappeared into what I'm guessing is the back room. From the glimpse I caught, looks more like just a really sparkly room.
"Hey Drew what did you have made?" Well you can't blame me for trying.
"Patience is a virtue May, you'll see in a few minutes." Patient? Since when am I that? Oh right since never!
"Fine, I'm going to look around until then." I strolled through the store going up and down the aisles looking through all the cases. Wow this place has just about everything: tiaras, headbands, rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, purses, sunglasses, toe rings, and just about every other accessory under the sun.
"Hey May come over here," I turned and walked over to where he was standing, "I have something for you." He opened up a Love and Patience pink box and inside was the most beautiful necklace that I had ever seen.
"Oh my god Drew, it's so beautiful. Is it for me?" Kind of a dumb question, but I had to be sure.
"Oh course it's for you, who else would I give a rose to?" He had me there. It was a red rose made out of stunning rubies and the stem and single leaf were striking emeralds. On the sparkling white gold backing, engraved was Drew & May 5/22/04.
"You remembered the day we first met?" Wow that was quite awhile ago. I can't believe I was only ten back then and I had clue about contests. Aww Drew is so cute having me made a custom necklace and everything. Okay so if this doesn't mean that he likes me then I don't know what does.
"Of course I do. You almost beheaded me with a frisbee." Oh yah! I remember that day. He was such a jerk telling me my act was cheesy, I had no moves, no style, and no clue what the hell I was doing. Even if it was true that was pretty damn mean.
"Yeah, and you were quite the asshole that day. Making fun of my routine I worked so hard on." Okay so I only worked on it for like two weeks, but still.
"That routine sucked and you know it." I know it did.
"So what if it did? It was my first time and you could have been a whole lot nicer." You came off as a really hot jerk.
"Yah I could have, but what would be the fun in that?" Then he saw my face and he softened a bit. "You know what? Let's get out of here. It's starting to get late and we have to catch our flight to Lilycove in a few hours." He handed me the pink Love and Patience box and grabbed a few others that were placed on the counter and carried them as we walked out.
"Hey Drew?" I wonder if I should ask him.
"Yah May?" here goes nothing.
"Why were you so mean to me that day?" I know Soledad told me before, but I want to hear it from you.
"Well, you just really reminded me of myself when I first started out and I didn't want to see you get crushed in your first contest." So she was right, of course she was.
"Really?"
"I swear."
yay end of chapter 8! And like always, please review because it puts a smile on my face :)
