SCARLETT
I took the biggest breath i could, if my car didn't start up. We'd have to walk or get an Uber, I could tell there was going to be loads of shopping bags as we were getting clothes for god knows how long
I turned started the engine and almost screamed from excited when it started it, no weird noises came from it, no problems. I checked Y/n was buckled in before reversing out of my gates and drove down to the mall
"Why were you so excited when your car started" Y/n laughed leaning her arm against the door frame
"My car hasn't been starting up for the past few days and I'm just excited it did or else we'd have to walk" I said focusing on the road but glancing over at Y/n
After a steady car drive, we arrived at the mall which was busier than usual which wasn't actually a good thing, I completely forgot it was Saturday
"It's busy" Y/n said, i don't know if she was speaking to herself or to me or if she didn't even mean to say it out loud
"That's okay, i'm gonna be right beside you" I said taking her hand in mine and holding it tightly. Me and Y/n walked into the mall hand in hand close together.
"Clothes store first" I said pulling Y/n over to the clothes store. Y/n looked around, spinning around looking at all the clothes
"I've noticed this is your kind of style" I said guiding Y/n over to the hoodie's, she nodded her head and scanned over the hoodie's before picking up a beige New York one
"You like that" I asked, she nodded her head and was about to place it back down but I took it of her before she could
"No but Scarlett" She groaned pressing her head against my arm clearly nervous about me buying her things
"No buts, now pick some more and we can head to a different store" I said, Y/n hesitantly scanned around the rest off the store adding more hoodie's and some jeans to the basket
"Scarlett no you can't" Y/n said tugging my arm as she saw the total cost of $200. I ignored her and paid, saying thank you and taking the bag and Y/n's hand
"So, Y/n. Are you British, you sound British" I asked, her accent was cute, the way she said 'mummy' instead of 'mommy'
"Yeah, I live there until I was 5. Then moved here and moved in with mummy and daddy" She whispered sadly. I stroked her head, keeping her close as we shopped some more
"Hey Liz" I said picking up my phone, I made sure to keep Y/n's hand tight in mine as we sat on a bench
"Hey Scar, was wondering if your free today"
"Yeah, me and Y/n are almost finished shopping"
"Is she staying with you"
"Yeah"
"Perfect"
"Stop by mine in an hour or so and we can catch up"
"Alright see you Scar"
"Bye-bye"
"Is it alright if Elizabeth comes round after we get home from shopping" I asked Y/n, she looked up at me nodding her head
"It's your house" She chuckled and leaned into the side of me, i wrapped my arm around her stroking her arm
"Are you tired bubba" I asked kissing the side of her head. She nodded a little bit, i stood up, bringing her up with me as we headed to one last store
We have shopped for a while and had bags everywhere, in every shop, Y/n tried to persuade me not to buy anything because she felt so bad
"Scarlett i can't believe you bought me all of that, over $1000. I just- don't understand" She rambled on as we were walking back to the car we hands full with bags
"Y/n if I have to tell you again, I'm going to go spend another thousand dollars on you" I joked, Y/n gasped and stopped talking, sliding into the front seat
After a peaceful drive home, me and Y/n carefully entered the house with many many bags in our hands.
We'd brung them upstairs and placed them on the floor in my bedroom before going through everything we have bought.
Y/n was over the moon with everything she had despite the fact she felt guilty for me spending all that money, but it doesn't matter as long as she was happy with her choices
"Oh theres Elizabeth, you don't mind staying up here while I get the door, or do you want to come with me" I asked hearing the doorbell go off as Y/n was folding her clothes
"I'll just stay here" She said quietly turning to me with a small smile before turning back and sorting out the rest of her clothes
I hurried downstairs, and rushed to the front door unlocking it and letting Lizzie into the house
"Hey Scarlett" Elizabeth said opening her arms and giving me a hug as we haven't seen each other in like 24 hours
"Hey Liz, Y/n's upstairs sorting clothes" I said leading Lizzie back up the stairs case to go to my room
"Are you keeping her" Liz asked quietly probably so Y/n couldn't hear our conversation
"Yeah, I wanna keep her Liz. She was so upset, like I mean really upset" I stopped on the staircase and turned to Liz
"I don't know what I'm going to do tho, it's not like I can adopt her. I've only known her for twenty four hours" I said in a hushed voice looking up to see if Y/n was about
"Of course you can, if you really feel like that's what you want to do Scar. Then you do that, no one is going to judge you about it" Elizabeth said seriously placing a hand on my arm
"Okay, I'll think more into it, thank you" I smiled before turning back around and heading back up the stairs to Y/n
"Y/n, Lizzie's here" I said trying not to scare her so I gently knocked on the door as she was sorting out her clothes, taking them off the hangers and price tags and all that
"hi" Y/n mumbled blushing bright pink and shifting around slightly trying not to make eye contact with Lizzie
"Hi Y/n, you remember me right?" Lizzie asked, Y/n looked up for a second before shooting her head down again and nodding her head
"Great, how about we get some late lunch" I suggested clapping my hands together. Elizabeth agreed and suggested she would make some sandwiches for us and headed downstairs
"You alright love" I asked moving closer to Y/n and tucking her hair behind her ear. She nodded her head, still pink and gave me a small shy smile
"Bit shy" I said motioning a little gesture with my fingers, she chuckled a bit and nodded her head
"That's okay, I'm not going anywhere" I said kissing her head, taking her hand and heading down the stairs to get some sandwiches.
