"What do you think about this?" I asked, spinning for Dick to look at my ensemble. I was trying on a white long-sleeved top with a pair of skinny jeans, getting ready for the fall/winter weather that was close to arriving.
Dick looked up from his phone from where he sat and quirked an eyebrow, looking up and down at me. "It's nice," he said simply.
I frowned. "Maybe I should've gone with Babs…" I commented, playing with the bottom of the shirt I wore. "You look really bored."
"I'm not," Dick assured me, making eye contact with me. "I like shopping with you." His eyes held something else, but I couldn't place my finger on it.
"Really?" I questioned. "If you're bored, we could just go somewhere else."
"Really," Dick sighed. "I'm seriously not bored. It's not like you give me a chance to be bored anyway." He tossed a smile my way and I felt my heart skip a beat when I saw his top row of pearly white teeth shine.
I felt like he wanted to say something else and waited.
He looked at me up and down a couple more times before saying, "You sure that shirt's gonna keep you warm?"
"I'm thinking about getting that pixie denim jacket I tried on earlier with that other ensemble," I replied.
"Are you getting that black top from earlier too? It'd go well with the jacket, too," Dick asked. I'm kind of glad Dick was metrosexual, though no insanely so. Just enough to give good fashion advice.
I thought about it for a second. Well, it wasn't like money was a problem. "I probably will," I admitted. "I'm going to be donating most of my clothes soon, anyway."
Every year, when it was getting closer to Thanksgiving and Christmas, Alfred, Bruce, Dick, and I would search for things that were still in really good condition, and donate them off, ranging from electronics to games to clothing, to hospitals and charities.
As we got even closer to those holidays, we'd even go out to buy some toys, games, and clothes for little kids, since we didn't really have little-kid-friendly toys to give away or clothes that fit little children.
"Buy another pair of jeans, then," Dick told me. "I liked the black skinny jeans from earlier. They hug your legs really nicely."
I tossed a grin at Dick. "Checking me out?"
Dick threw his head back and gave me a wink and I went back to the dressing room before my blush could fully appear.
I changed back into my t-shirt, black jacket, and jeans while grabbing what I wanted to buy, which consisted of two long-sleeve shirts, two pairs of jeans, and a jacket.
The rest, I left behind, and I walked out to join Dick, who was brushing off some non-existent dirt off the back of his jeans. He picked up the shopping bags that we had already and walked over to the checkout counter.
The lady behind it beamed brightly at us, seeing the clothing I had in my hands.
"Hello," she greeted us. "Did you have a nice time here?" she asked politely, ringing up my purchases.
"I did," I smiled, nodding my head.
"Didn't bore your boyfriend too much, did it?" she inquired, scanning the jacket I wanted to buy.
"He's not–"
"Nah," Dick interrupted me, waving off the lady's statement before pulling out his wallet. He looked pointedly at me, seeing my hand in my purse. "Nope. I'm paying."
"They're my clothes," I argued back. "I haven't paid for anything today yet."
"And you won't today as long as you're with me," Dick refuted back.
The lady smiled at our exchange before saying, "Your total will be $439.77. Will that be cash, credit, or debit?"
"Credit," Dick replied, whipping out his card, making the woman's eyes widen, when she saw the color. It was a reaction we were used to seeing, since we both had black cards.
He wrapped his left arm around me, making the bags he held push against me as he kept me in place. Please, if I wanted to, I'd escape, but I relented, as I was used to this. Wally greatly enjoyed this, because whatever I couldn't spend today, I'd spend on him, benefitting him greatly with free food.
"I'll be treating Wally to a feast tonight," I warned him.
"Go ahead," Dick shrugged. "You just can't spend money when you're out with me." He signed the receipt and the lady gave him a bag from Lucky Brand Jeans, the store we were currently in, and he took it.
As we walked out of the store, Dick's hand slipped from my arm to my waist, and he didn't let go.
"You spoil me," I commented.
Dick simply smiled and said, "Let's get some ice cream."
A/N: School's started again... it's only been four days and it feels like four weeks. I'm ready for school to end already. :C Nothing but tests, quizzes, and essays... and it's only been four days! Anyways, leave a request and/or review. I'll definitely get to it (eventually)!
