Nick's POV
I woke up feeling a bit more refreshed. That was until I thought about having to unpack the rest of the house. Thanks for ruining my day over-active brain. I flipped over and grabbed my phone hoping to see a text from Hailey. Which I did.
Hey fag. Do you wanna go to the mall today. You know what you need? A nice suit. And its time to splurge on your self for once. I'll pick you up at 2:00. Lots of love. HaileyXx
Going to the mall sounded a lot better than unpacking the rest of the rooms. I looked at the clock on the wall. Oh my lord its already 1:45. Shit. I have to get ready. Hailey hates waiting. I stumble out of bed and run to the closet to get dressed. Blue jeans, a grey sweatshirt, and some red vans. Hmm. Good enough. I half-sprint half-nearly dive into the bathroom to only be horrified by my reflection. Hair sticking up everywhere. Ew. I grab my glasses and put them on before multitasking with brushing my teeth and hair at the same time. I check the clock once again. 1:58. Thank god. I look in the mirror once more before walking out of the bathroom shutting the light off as I exit. As if she was waiting at the door until the exact minute the door bell rang and exactly 2. I swing the door open to see Hailey standing outside on her phone.
"Hey you're ready on time today." She says pushing her way past me into the kitchen probably to get a cup of coffee.
"This is your second time here and you're already making yourself at home" I close the door and walk to the kitchen to find a coffee mug in her hand. She only smiles and takes a sip.
"When are we going to be leaving anyway?" She stands up and dumps her remaining coffee into the sink.
"THAT WAS SUCH A WASTE!!!" I scream running towards the sink.
"I'm not made of money!!!" I say slapping her arm lightly.
"Well you are today." She walked around the corner and into my room. I follow behind her. Waiting to see what she was doing?
"Can't we leave already?" I say grabbing my wallet and phone. With a loud exaggerated sigh she stands and walks back to the front door. It was nice outside in New York. Which was a big deal. Its usually windy, or cold, or I don't know. We both walk out to the car and get in, sitting there for a split second before she starts it and pulls out backwards from the spot she parked in.
Its a short ride to Mall with few to no red lights.
"So. How's your love life?" She asks pulling perfectly into a parking spot.
"Non existent. And you? How's Luke?" I ask casually. She's been dating this guy Luke for about like 4 years and they've been going strong since.
"He's good. He's looking for an apartment in Geneva so he can be near me all the time." She smiles so bright it hurts. She must really like him.
"That's so cute it makes me wanna barf." I say opening the door and stepping out into the sunlight. "I feel like I'm on fire the sun is so bright." I say pushing my aviators high onto my nose.
"Stop complaining loser. Suit shopping her we come!!" She says walking next to me and linking arms. I shake my head and continue walking towards Men's Warehouse. I stop at the door and look up at the sign.
"Do we have too?" I ask before she pushes me inside the store.
"Yes of course we do." She pulled me towards a rack and started flipping through suits occasionally pulling one out and pushing it against me so she can see. I turn away and began to scan the store. That was until I saw him. He was standing there glancing at an expensive looking watch as he chatted with some blonde girl who was way to slutty to be with him. She was standing there in a skin tight red dress and like 6 inch heels.
"Hey Hailey. You see that guy over there." I say nodding my head in his direction. She nodded and turned back to the rack she was scanning through. "He's breathtaking." I say looking back at him only to see his brown eyes studying me intently. I feel my cheeks turn red as I turned back to Hailey.
"Why so red?" She asks picking out a black suit feeling the silky material on her fingers.
"Its nothing." I say watching my fingers as they intertwine in each other. I look back up and see him casually strolling over to the counter. The way he walks is so beautiful. Its like he's floating on thin air.
Woah. What type of feelings am I getting right now? When do I ever feel like this? I've only ever been in one relationship ever and that was a disaster because he cheated on me.
"Hey. Do you like this suit?" Hailey asks turning around to ask me.
"I don't think it matches his skin tone." I hear from behind me causing me to jump around quickly.
There he is. Standing right in front of me looking amazing. I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. I close it before he thinks I'm fawning over him. Which I actually am.
"Oh really? Cause I thought it would look great on him." She responds not seeming fazed by his presence. I look back at him to see him raising an eyebrow. He only shrugs and looks back at me. We hold this eye contact for a good 30 seconds before I look down at the floor clearly embarrassed by his presence. He cleared his marvelous throat before saying something.
"I'm Matthew Reed by the way."
