Book 1: Oh love, how could I forget~ (Lance Stroll)

Chapter 21: Scrunchie

"Morning!" Lily chirped a joyous morning.
"Good morning!" Charles replied.

"Let's eat out for breakfast" Charles suggested so they changed first.

Same as yesterday she put her hair up in a bun. Charles noticed this and wondered if this is something significant to what Lily's overall feeling but then maybe it's just hot and she didn't feel like letting her hair down.

"Avocado toast please"
They found this cute cafe and ofcourse Lily was amazed at almost everything. It's her first time in Monaco and it was all a beautiful feeling.
"After this, I think we can go to the mall and shop yeah?" Charles said as Lily was eating infront of him. She smiles and nods.
"One condition though" she says.
"Okay.. let's hear it"
"I pay for everything" she shows her card
"Nooo.. I can't accept that"
"It's going to be my stuff so I can be responsible for it" she argues.
"Well yeah but you don't have your salary yet so I'll cover it first then you can pay back"
"But I can cover ittt" she pouts. Charles shakes his head. He was never going to win when it comes to Lily but he will still try.
"Atleast let me buy your wardrobe then"
"Noooo that's too much"
"Clothes or Phone"
"None"
"Phone then. Final deal"
"What? Charlesssss!"
"Comeon let me treat you something nice okay?"
"Noooo.."
"Yesss"
"Nooo"
"Yesss phonee" charles insisted.
She sighs.. "am i not going to win this?"
"No" Charles grinned.
"Ugh.. fine but i'm going to buy stuff we need in the house and snacks" she surrenders
"Let's go then!" Charles offers his arm and Lily politely puts her hand. They linked arms which was kinda of a normal thing for Lily to do with her male buddies.

"So.. we need groceries, clothes and stuff" she says as she pushes the cart around the aisles.
"We definitely should've made a list" she facepalms herself
"We have a list here of what I could eat.. then you can add stuff you like so you can cook" Charles said as he gets vegetables.
"Ma chère.. you don't have to think too much.." he says as he looks at her deciding which brands she would pick.
"This is hard the brands here i don't know but I'll go with these" she says as she puts them in the cart
"Do you like to cook?" He asks.
"Well.. at first no but later on I kinda loved it.. and baking too" she smiles
"Really? I actually have an oven but never used it so.. you can try"
"Oh wow.. yes I could try that.. thank you"

They were passing by a huge mirror when Lily stops and realizes her hair was still pink.. faded but pink.. she sighs and finds some hair dye to cover it. Remind her of her nails too so she sighs some more and finds some stuff she can use to remove them.
Charles saw it but didn't comment on it. It was still quite an off limits topic and clearly Lily is not ready to talk about it.

After getting groceries and other necessities, they went to the phone store.. "we're going to get the latest one and you're not allowed to refuse" Charles cheekily says.
She sighs. Charles was so set on this, he was definitely more excited than she was but she was very thankful.
"Black. Definitely" she says as they were paying for it using Charles' card.

"Off we go to buy some clothes"
Charles loved going to the clothing stores. Lily noticed this and asked "I don't know but this may be a far stretch.. but do you like clothes?"
"Yeah.."
"I mean like.. you're interested in like the composition and stuff.. aren't you?"
"Yes.. actually it's a dream of mine to open an clothing line"
"Wow that's amazing! You have to show me next time" she smiles as she feels anyone with dreams are fascinating because she doesn't have one for herself.
She found herself staring at a dress.. it looked so stunning but then she sighs.
Going through this breakup-even-though-we-weren't-really-together phase really put a hit on her.
