Y/N
It's always raining, the sun almost never comes out. That's the way it is here in London. But it's gonna be over soon, next week i'll fly across the pond and start a new life in Los Angeles were the sky is blue and the people are a lot nicer than over here. I was so happy when I got accepted into UCLA, I can't wait to get there and get away from England.
This day has been, honestly... the worst. I really can not wait to go to the airport, hell, if I could id go there right now and wait. I decide to make this day better with the help of some retail therapy, that always does the trick.
I make my way in my fairly large London flat and find my dad in the kitchen, he looks at me and sees the big smile I have on and he already knows what is going on, he looks back down at his newspaper, "Be home by seven, I'll put some money on your card." I go up to him and give him a tight hug.
I wander around the city for a while, soaking wet because of the stupid rain, and find myself in a nice little shop with the cutest clothes, I find the cutest dress while looking through the racks, it is quite short but not too scandalous. It's black and sparkly, it has a plunging neckline hemmed with lace. It definitely caught my eye. I took it off the rack and put it onto my arm. My phone buzzes, my boyfriend Matt is calling. I totally forgot I was supposed to go to his place today!
-Hey! Matt, baby, I'm so sorry, it completely slipped my mind, I'm out right now, but I promise ill make it up to you...
He cuts me off before I can finish
-Is this how it's gonna be from now on? You live in then same city, what is it going to be like when you move half way across the globe?
-I said I'm sorry, Matt. It's not like you never forget, you forgot our anniversary like three times in a row.
-That's different. Where are you?
-Oxford street. Come if you really need to see me that bad. Anyways, I feel like we're always at your place or at someone's we never really spend time together outside.
-You know I don't like going out, i'll be there in a bit, I'll call you.
He hangs up before either of us get to say bye, and I just stand here. I shake my head before any negative thoughts can take over and make me regret going out in the first place. I take a few items off the racks and head to the fitting rooms.
I try on a little red velvet swim suit first and I find that it's a little, wait no scratch that, extremely out of my comfort zone and I know that Matt would be fuming if he saw me wearing this around others. But fuck it, who cares? I'll take it, I take it off and put it on the small stool in the fitting room. Next, I found a black set, it's a cute mini skirt, emphasise on the mini, with a tie around strap on the top, and a tiny black top. I think the common theme on today's items, is their lack of fabric, but I really want to get out my comfort zone when I head to LA, so I'm going all out. I try the set on, it's quite cute, I could wear it out during the day with some sneakers and a little bag, or during the night with some nice tall heels and have everyone looking at me and just how amazing I look in this. I take it off and take the dress off of the hanger but my phone rings, I look down and see Matt's calling, again. I pick up.
-Hey, I'm trying something on right now, can you call me back.
-I'm just calling to ask you to send me your location.
-okay, wait a sec. Bye.
I hang up and send him the location quickly.
Finally, I can try on the dress. And when I finish zipping it up, I turn around and look into the mirror.
I look amazing. I might fall in love with myself. It fits perfectly, emphasising my hourglass body and make my legs look so much longer. I quickly take it off because I know that if I kept it on just little longer, I'd never want to take it off.
I get out the cabin and see Matt at the front of the store and wave at him, he smiles and me and walks towards me, he gives me a little kiss on the cheek. "Hey Y/N, what you buying?" He looks down at the clothes on why arm with an eyebrow raised. I just shrug my shoulders "Just a few things, I need to get new clothes 'cause the weather's quite different there." He grimaces, "are you sure?" I deadpan "No, not really." I raise my eyebrows, sigh and turn to the cashier and give her my items, she scans them and I pay.
I really live Matt, but he gets a little to clingy, if I'm honest. We've been together since we were twelve, you'd think he'd know that I am completely head over heels for him and that he's let me wear revealing clothes if I wanted to. I think that LA's going to be very difficult however, I also feel it'll make us stronger. I turn back to him and give him the bag. He rolls his eyes and follows me out the store and into the little pub next door. We sit down on some stools next to the window.
Matt takes my hand, and says something he's said many times before and heard the same exact answer from me.
"Can't you just stay here? Why would you want to get as far away from me as possible?"
