Living with the Waltons

Stuck in WalMart ~ Part Two

"How did you sleep?"

I looked up at my aunt from my bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. "Amazing! This bed is like heaven only in mattress form!" I fanned my hands across the smooth duvet and then placed then back on the tray that held my breakfast in bed.

"I'm glad. Now, Tim is going to take the boys out for laser tag. You and me are going shopping at a few stores; you can't wear those same clothes the rest of summer." She stood and yanked open my curtains revealing blinding light.

"Ahh! The light! Shut the curtains Amanda!" I crossed my arms over my eyes and groaned when the beams remained on my face. "Fine. I'll be ready in thirty minutes."

I shuffled zombie-like into the bathroom and turned on the hot water. I stripped from my clothes and stepped into the small tiled room. Hopefully, Alex won't walk in on me again.

I scrubbed my hair and body and then rinsed off all the soap. Pulling on a robe, I turned on my stereo. Super Bass came on. "My jam!" I exclaimed to no one in particular.

I danced around the room while getting dressed into the outfit Amanda left for me; her old clothes. Luckily, they fit perfect. Simple ripped black skinny jeans and a white tank top. I blow dried my boring brown hair and pulled on black ankle boots and a black leather jacket.

By the time I was done, Lollipop by Lil Wayne was playing. I started dancing around the room again while brushing out my hair. I lifted the brush to my mouth and sang;

"You know I like to touch, your lovely lady lumps,

C'mon, yeah,

Okay, lil mama had a swag like mine

She even wear her hair down her back like mine

I make her feel right when it's wrong like lyin'

Man, she ain't never had a love like mine-"

Someone cleared their throat in the doorway. "Please be Tim, please be Tim." I pleaded as I slowly turned around.

Tyler.

"As much as I loved watching you shake your butt, Amanda says hurry." He smirked and stood in the doorway.

"Aren't you supposed to leave now?"

"Nope. I think I wanna see you dance a little more."

I shoved him out the door and he chuckled in response. I slammed the door in his face.

"Nice butt, Lace." He calls through the door.

"Ready!" I holler as I pound down the stairs. I grab my money out of my bag and my phone. "Where to first?"

"Aeropostale, JCPenny, Ralph Lauren, Journeys, Claire's, The Beach Shack, Shoe Carnival, Hollister-"

"Woah, woah! Hold up. I thought you said a few stores."

"Eh, I underestimate a lot." She smirked and turned into the large shopping mall.

Twelve stores and umpteen bags later, we were done for the day. "Ready to go home, bud?"

"I thought you'd never ask!" I dragged my way to the car and threw all the bags in the second and third row. Amanda threw her load in the trunk.

She climbed in the driver side but I had already buckled and had the radio on.

"I take it you're tired."

I rolled my head to face her. "You were right. You do underestimate."
