Wait For Me - A Jordan Maron Fanfiction

New Surroundings

I step out into the open world, taking in the new scenery. I walk to the nearest crosswalk, for the mall is right across the street. I push the button and wait for the sign to say "walk."

About a minute later, it finally did. I started to walk over to the mall.

Once I get in, I realize how big of a mall it is. "Oh, my, God." I say to myself. I start to walk in, find all of the stores I like, buying a few simple outfits here and there.

After getting a few things from Hollister, I see a dress shop. All of the dresses in there are so pretty! There's everything from everyday dresses, to the fanciest I've ever seen.

I send Jordan a text saying, "casual or fancy tonight?"

About 30 seconds later, I hear a buzz in my pocket. Jordan sent back, "hmmm.. Let's go with fancy. Again, it's MY TREAT. Don't even think about bringing your wallet :)"

I send back, "in your dreams ;)" I laugh as I walk into the store.

I look around the store, taking in all of the beauty in these dresses.

I look around for a little bit longer, until I see the one. It was black, mid-thigh length, lace sleeves, it was gorgeous.

I ran over to the dress to get my size, and luckily I got the last of my size. I went into the dressing room to try it on. I don't want to sound selfish or anything, but I thought the dress looked pretty good.

I went to the checkout line and bought the dress. Right before I got ready to leave, I just thought about shoes and makeup. "I'm an idiot" I said as I walked towards Sephora.

I got all of the basic makeup I needed. Eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, etc. after Sephora, I made my way to Macy's to get a pair of heels.

When I get there, I start to look for the shoes that would look best with the dress. I see a black pair of heels, with lace just like the dress'. I grab the heels, go into the checkout line, and buy them.

I surprisingly don't have as many bags as I expected to have, I had about 2 big bags (I might of shoved a few into one), and about 3 smaller ones.

I decided to end the shopping trip there, before I get carried away. I look at my watch, and it was 1:47. I look beside me, and there was a pretzel stand.

I think to myself, "Maybe I should get Jordan and I some pretzels" I send him a text, "you like pretzels?"

He responds, "yeah, the almond ones are the best. Why?"

I reply with, "Oh no reason. Just asking." I walk over to the pretzel stand and get 2 almond pretzels.

I finally walk out of the mall, relieved to be heading back to Jordan's. I text him that I'm on my way back.

About 10 minutes later, I finally make it to his apartment. I managed to fit everything except the pretzels into one bag, luckily.

Jordan opens the door, "hello there Halle" he says with a smile, "glad you could make it back."

I hand him the bag of pretzels. "Here ya go, you said you like the almond one so that's what I got. Hope you like it." He opens up the bag. "There's two. One for you and one for me. But first lets get you inside." I giggle at his comment.

When we walk inside, we sit on the couch. I put my stuff on the side while he takes out the pretzels. As he hands me one, he says, "here you go, m' lady" I take the pretzel, saying, "thank you, kind sir."

We eat the pretzels in silence, not awkward, we just couldn't talk with our mouths full.

As I eat the pretzel, I think to myself. "I think I can get used to this."
