Cindy holds up a lavender night gown. She said that we had to go to the mall again since she "had a bad day" yesterday. So I agreed sinked I promised Cameron that I had to listen to her problems as well. Which made me want to jump off a bridge. who knew she had so many problems on one person? "Try this on." She says throwing me the night gown.
"I'm not wearing that." Looking at the designs. It has a silky texture which feels amazing on my hands. I just wonder if it would feel just as amazing on my body. I've worn a night gown before when I was home alone of course in the ordinary world. I would feel more comfortable. Now that I'm in a place where I have people I don't trust that could simply barge into my room at any cost. I suddenly do not feel so safe. And especially not alone. "Yes you are." She says throwing it at me instead of handing it to me. "It's ugly!" I lie. In facts it beautiful.
"This is Victoria Secret were talking about there is no ugly." She says annoyed.
"I'm not wearing it over my dead body." I mumble.
"Well then we have to kill you." She says staring at me like she's serious. I give her a look that clearly tells her that she's insane.
"Fine, I'll take it." She mumbles under her breath. Snatching the soft fabric away from me. I was about to disagree when I remembered that I'm the one who didn't want it. So I continued to browse around the store eventually going to the perfume area. My hand reaches for the bottle with wings behind it, Angel it says. "Ah I see you have chosen well." I look back to the startling voice only to find Kyle. Who I'm still utterly confused by. It's weird how he just randomly pops by.
"You shopping for bras or perfume?" I ask.
"No. I just saw you." He says with a grin. His black hair falls in front of his eyes. "Planning on getting a haircut. This is bothering me." He mumbles. I smile with a slight laugh.
"When's that?" I ask looking at his long hair that falls on his shoulders. His eyes meet mine and I avert them somewhere else. "I don't know. Now maybe?" He says. I put the bottle behind me. "And your here because?" I ask waiting for an answer.
"I saw you decided to pop by."
"Oh." I say feeling guilty for some reason. Probably because I sounded annoyed by him. It's not like he's annoying-he's just confusing. Which annoys me in a way. It's like sometimes he wants to say something but never does. But then again I don't know him very well so of course I am annoyed by him in a way. Like I was annoyed by Cindy in the beginning. All I wanted was duck tape and her mouth to shut up. Now, I guess she's not as bad. I hear Cindy call my name from the fitting room. Thank god. "I...er... Have to go." I say leaving him to go get this hair cut of his.
Cindy stands holding her bags. I grab mine and part of hers since humans don't grow three hands. Although Cindy would be allegeable for that. "Come on Hollister? Oh what about Banana Republic?" She says driving me around the entire mall. I think we've been through then entire mall.
"If we keep this up we won't have enough money." I complain. She takes out a wallet and brings out her credit card. "Your not hiding things in the element world as well."
"Your going to max it out." I mumble.
"What ever it's not like I'll be using it again." She says stuffing it back into her wallet.
"So this" I start holding up my bags "was bought with credit and we still have our money?"
"Sorta." She grins innocently. When we get back to the hotel I will take the money and possibly hide it from her. She is shopaholic. Bringing in a credit card from the ordinary life waiting to use it. She probably was like this during her ordinary life. I look around to find some familiar Natures knocking themselves out. Then again, it's part of her element to be fun. I guess mines not. I like the fact that she's trying to make me adapt to it. So that I could actually fit it. Giving me some flirting tips. Which by the way I still haven't taken.
We walk back to the car as I ask her about my flirt tips. She grins, "you see Skylar it comes naturally. That's why it's a natures thing. Usually when you deny that your flirting with someone and begin to laugh it's sort of like flirting. When you get comfortable with a guy holding on to you. Whispering to you always flatter your eyes or shift your body as if your moving and your alive." She simply says like it's something easy for her.
"Are you normal!" I say. "You know I can't do that."
"That's why it's Natural..." She points out.
"So your saying that I can't do it." I clarify. Half of me wants her to say no.
She sighs heavily. "Did you um ever flirt around Eros?"
"How am I suppose to know, it was a long time ago." I mumble watching the road as Cindy drives. "Listen. It's all in the heart. If you think the guy is worth it you'll obviously show signs of love and he'll think it's flirting."
"Oh thanks Cupid." I mumble.
"Hey. I'm not the one who loved a guy named Bow and Eros." She throws back. I find myself laughing at that comment. It comes to realize that telling someone close your problem would be okay. For them to hold your burden for a while. But I'm only telling Cindy this. No one else. Not Cameron. Not even Asher-besides I never tell him anything anyway.
"So what's up with you and Kyle." She brings up again.
"Nothing." I quickly say as if I was planning that question. To the truth, I was.
We find Cameron and Damon standing angrily in front of the door. Waiting for us, irritated. Since we share cars with Cameron and Damon we decided to give our selves car hours. So we could schedule something out. Of course they don't work. Sometimes we would take the car on there hour and they would take it on ours. But eventual we figure it out... Sorta.
"It was our turn dumbass." Damon says snatching the keys from Cindy. A smirk crosses her face. "I can't believe I liked that." She says referring to Damon. I think sharing a car and possibly going on a car ride with these two is a nightmare, now that they are apart they seem to disagree on everything. It's like they finally got there own opinions. I don't mind it. But once it becomes constant even Cameron would want to punch them.
We walk inside getting slapped with the cold air. I look back to find Damon and Cameron already gone. Cindy drags her bags begging for her shoes to stay on her foot.
I step on a note as I enter the room: Long time Mrs.Pierre?
I laugh as I throw the note at Cindy's face. "Nice try." I mumble. She drops her bags and stares at me for a moment before she picks up the crumbled paper. She reads it. "That wasn't me." She says.
"Then it's probably Cameron wanting the car." I say thinking someone logical. Or someone playing a prank on us.
"Sure." She says dropping the note in the trash, continuing to carry her bags back to the bed.
