Reassurance.

chapter sixteen.

I pull into the shopping centres parking lot and find a space then park and go into the centre.

"Where do you wanna go first then?" I ask Jess.

"Definately Hollister! I need a picture with the topless modle to add to my collection!" I shake my head in mock disbelief at her.

"Of course you do." She grabs my hand and drags me round to the shop. She poses next to the modle with his six-pack on full show as the photographer snaps away and hand her a photo waiting to develop. She tucks it into her bag and we step inside the dark shop with loud music playing.

We walk around together and I pick up a pair of new hollister trackies and a few nice summer tops while Jess finds a few nice dresses. We purchase out items and walk out. We make our way around the centre to various different designer shops until we stop for lunch at an italian restaurant and my phone rings.

"Shit!" I look at the caller ID "Its Luca, I forgot to text him and tell him I was leaving the house.

"Hello?"

"Zara, where  the hell are you?!" Oh god, hes mad.

"Im shopping, sorry I forgot to text you."

"Its fine but you cant scare me like that. I come home and your gone without even speaking to me or Adam."

"Sorry."

"Okay, well dont be too late, dinner is at 7 then we're going to the cinema if you want to join?"

"Okay, What are you watching? and who's We?"

"Oh, me, Adam, Alex, Mason, Ed, and Jamie and we havnt decided what to watch yet."

"I'll be home at half six then, love you"

"Bye sis." Luca said and then hung up the phone.

"Is he mad?" Jess asks.

"No, hes alright. Gotta be home at half six and the time now is half two so we need to leave at about half five."

"No prob babe"

We sit at lunch for another hour and a half and then continue shopping, I pick up more tops, a dress, a pair of nike blazer high tops and some heels. When it hits half five, Jess and I hit the road again, dropping her back to her house before I make my way home.
