There was only a few days left until Christmas and since I needed to do some gift shopping, I was allowing Nick to have Abby and Miles for the day. That meant I would get the night to myself and I was planning to have a relaxing bubble bath with a nice glass of wine. In other words, I was going to be heaven.

I decided to invite Andy along with me for the Christmas shopping. It would not only be a nice date, but I could use the help since I wasn't best at gift shopping.

Andy picked me up in his black BMW. He was dressed in jeans and a tight tee shirt, showing off his muscular build. I wasn't going to lie, he was hot.

When we arrived at the mall, the first place we decided to go into was the toy store. I knew they'd have something Abby and Miles would like.

We entered the store made our way into the so called "girls" section. There were princess dresses, barbies, pink coloring books, rainbow stickers, etc. Andy and I browsed the shelves for something Abby might like.

"What about this?" Andy asked, picking up a creepy looking doll.

"I'm not trying to get my whole family murdered in the middle of the night."

He laughed and put it down, "What do you think she'd like?"

"Anything that's Princess Jasmine."

"Well how about this then?" He asked, showing me a Princess Jasmine barbie with accessories and her tiger sidekick.

I nodded, "She would love that."

"Good." He said, "One down, one to go."

We moved from the girls to the boys section of the store. The surrounding colors changed from pink to blue with toy cars and Legos stocked on the shelves. We weaved through the aisles, looking for something Miles might like.

"How about this?" Andy asked.

I turned around to see him holding up a Nerf gun. I instantly shook my head, "I'm not training my son to become a school shooter."

Maybe Andy was worse at gift shopping than I was.

He put it back on the shelf and kept looking, I could sense he wasn't having much fun, "I'll make you a deal."

He turned to face me, "As a lawyer, shouldn't I be the one to be making deals?"

"Well then let's just say I'm the lawyer for today."

"Role play?"

I gave him a vomiting gesture, "Hell no."

He laughed, "Alright then, what's your deal?"

"If you help me find a present for Miles, I'll let you see me try something on in Victoria's Secret."

His eyes widened, "Well then, I guess we better get shopping, don't you think?"

I laughed and turned back to the shelves. After another ten minutes of searching, I finally found the perfect gift. It was a dinosaur notebook with a pack of twenty different colored crayons. It was great since Miles always loved to draw ugly pictures of me.

After buying the gifts, we headed for Victoria's Secret.

"Are you sure it's legal for men to go in here?" Andy said, as we approached the store.

"If you don't feel comfortable, you could always stay here and wait. But of course, you wouldn't get to see me try anything on."

He shook his head, "It's fine, I'm willing to break my promise as a lawyer and do something illegal."
