Paul unlocked the front door shortly after pulling into the driveway. He and Tommy headed inside to do a walk through for damages and to put their bags away. "Tom, everything okay?" he asked after a few minutes.
"I stopped to get the mail. You are very popular." he laughed, handing the stack over.
Tossing it onto the kitchen table, Paul pulled the door shut and held out his hand. "Are you ready?" What Paul had failed to notice in the stack of mail was a bright blue envelope addressed to Tommy. It would be a source of trouble for the two of them later.
A nod as Tommy walked back outside. "I'm taking my car. I'll be back later."
Before Paul could agree or disagree, Tommy drove off.
"Well then."
At the nearest mall, Tommy parked close to the entrance and leaned against the window for a few minutes. He was still a bit bashful about shopping for pleasure toys and such.
Mustering up enough courage, he went inside after pulling his hair into a ponytail and slipping on shades. He found an ATM machine and withdrew $500 in cash. He had no intentions of using his credit card.
Wondering around the mall, Tommy finally headed into Spencer's to look around. He quickly glanced from side to side making sure no one would recognize him. He would never admit to himself he was overwhelmed with all the different items. He finally settled on heated body oils and scented candles.
Meanwhile Paul had no problem purchasing what he wanted. He put several bags in his backseat and texted Tommy. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEY, IF YOU'RE DONE, MEET ME FOR LUNCH AT THE STEAK PLACE ON 5th AND BROADWAY . -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tommy sent back a 'yes' and headed that direction. "Lord that was stressful." he sighed. When he arrived at the steak place, Paul was waiting. They talked a bit before going inside.
"Well, did you find what you were looking for?" asked Paul.
"Yes."
That's all Paul got out of Tommy about the subject.
