"Oh, look at this!" Jasmine squeals, grabbing a dress. It's white with little flowers on. "We have to buy it!"

"She already has tons of dresses, Jas. And one quite familiar to that one."

"But, Calum." Jasmine whines. "Look how pretty these dresses are!"

"Jasmine, she does not need more clothes. Especially not dresses." I grab another doll, turning around to show Jasmine. "What about this one?"

"She's more of a teddy bear kind of girl."

"Well, what did you like when you were three then?" I ask, putting the doll back.

"Dresses." Jasmine giggles, starting to walk down the next aisle.

I sigh, following her, dragging the cart in front of me.

"Oh, what about this one?" Jasmine holds up a princess dress. "C'mon, she loves frozen. She will look just like Anna!"

"She already does look like an Anna." I roll my eyes slightly, but stepping forward to get a better look at the costume. "Fine, she will love it."

Jasmine squeals, throwing the dress into the cart. "Okay, now all we have to do is find an Olaf..."

"Well, when do you quit then?" Paige asks, running her hand down my arm. We're currently placed in the staff room, my back against the wall and our chests pressed together.

"At six." I say, studying her face. She just got out, which means that we're not working together today.

"You want to do something tonight? After you're out of here?" She looks up at me, our eyes meeting.

"Yeah." I nod, brushing some hair away from her eyes. "What did you have in mind?"

"I don't know." She shrugs, smiling softly. "We could just go get a drink and spend some time together or whatever."

I normally don't drink anything stronger than a beer, but Paige's invitation sounds very tempting. Besides, Riley is with my parents for two more days, a drink today won't hurt. "Sure, sounds good."

"Okay, text me when you're ready then." She says.

"I don't need to go home afterwards, just come by here by six and we can go from here." I say, softly putting my hands on her waist.

"Okay, sounds good." She smiles again, leaning up on her tiptoes to leave a quick kiss on my lips.

I grin, because man, I love kissing her. And with that thought, I lean down to give her another one. This one a tiny bit longer. "I'll see you later."

"Mhm." She giggles, her eyes sparkling as she looks up at me. "Just a few more seconds."

"Hmm, yeah, okay." I mumble, closing my eyes as our lips connects again.

After a few minutes of quietly giggling - coming mostly from Paige - and some kissing, I finally break away. "You know I could do this all day, but if I don't hurry up Ron will come and get me and I don't think he will be that happy seeing us like this when I'm supposed to work."

"Fine." She release her grip around me, taking a step back. "I'll be here by six, then."

"Yeah." I smile. "Bye."

-

I hold Paige's hand in mine as we stand by the bar. She's talking to the bartender, asking what drink is the best one.

"We will have two of that one then." She laughs, ordering what the dude just said.

"Okay, they'll be ready in a minute, love." The guy flash her a smile, causing me to drag her a bit closer to my chest.
