Shopping Adventures

"Alison do I really have to try this stuff on? I already know they're my size," I whined as she dragged me towards the dressing room.

"C'mon babe, do it for me...please?"

"Babe?"

Once I questioned her affection, Alison dragged me into one of the dressing rooms and made me sit down as she put the pile of clothes next to me.

"Look Emily, I know that you want to take it slow. And I respect your wishes. But damn it Emily I can't do this, I-"

"Can't do what?" I asked scared of what she might say.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

I don't know why, but all of a sudden I started laughing. I tend to laugh when I'm nervous.

"Of course Alison, I would love to be your girlfriend," I answered after calming down.

"Jeez Em I thought you were gonna say no. Don't scare me like that," she giggled.

"Sorry, I actually thought that you were gonna leave me"

Emily...do you really think that I would ever leave you? Be honest"

"I-I-"

"It's okay, I underst-"

"I know that you personally would never leave me. It's just that...people have left me before so I have trust issues"

"I prom-"

"Ali please don't mak-"

"I promise that I'll never leave you Emily, I really do," she said as she intertwined our fingers and kissed the back of my hand.

I smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Okay, so I guess I'll start trying on some of these clothes"

"I can't wait," Alison winked at me.

"Uhmm a-actually...can you wait outside please?"

"Oh uhmm y-"

"It's not that I don't want you-"

"I told you Em, you never have to explain yourself to me. I'll be waiting right outside this door," she kissed my nose before exiting the room.

I feel really bad doing all of this. Alison just wants to show how much she cares and I'm not letting her. I would love to be able to enjoy it but my thoughts are holding me back. But she really is being a good sport about it all.

The first thing I go to try on is a pair of jean shorts. I realize that the pain coming from my thigh restricts some movement.

"A-Alison?"

"Yes babe? Is everything alright? Are you okay?" She sounded worried.

"Haha yea I'm fine. I was wondering if you could uhhh...come in here and help me?"

"Sure," she answered as she slowly opened the door," So what can I do for you m' lady?"

"I need help taking off these sweat pants and trying on those shorts"

"Oooo we've only been together for like a minute and I already get to take your pants off? Score," she winked as she kneeled down in front of me.

I'm sitting down so I pulled them enough so that they were off my butt. Then, Alison slowly rolled my sweatpants down. When she reached my thigh, she leaned down and kissed it. The touch of her beautiful plump lips to my skin left a tingling sensation. Before I knew it, my pants were completely off.

"You know Em? You should wear shorts more often so that I can see these gorgeous tan beauties that you call legs," she smirked as she helped me get into the shorts. All I could do was give her a nervous smile.

Several pairs of pants and shorts later, I was ready to go.

"What about the tops? Aren't you going to try on any of the shirts to make sure they fit?"

"Oh please, you just want to see my boobs," I chuckled.

"Maybe"

"Nope"

"Aww come on Em, just one shirt. Please?"

"Sorry," I shrugged as I gathered all the clothes and walked out of the dressing room. She followed me and we made our way over to the register.

The guy at the counter was basically eye-fucking Alison. Of course, she would be wearing a v-neck that damn near exposed all of her cleavage. Why did she have to take her jacket off in the car? All of a sudden I had this strange feeling in my gut.

"Hello ladies, find everything okay?" He addressed both of us but was staring at her.

"Yes, thank you for asking," Alison smiled.

"My pleasure. No shoes?"

"Nope just pants and shirts. Could you go a little faster, we're kind of in a hurry," I jumped in.

"Well you know, we are having a sale on boobs-...I mean boots, haha my apologies miss," he looked at Alison.

"Well we don't want any boots mister, so can you please-"

"Emily?" Alison looked at me.

"She your little sister?" The idiot asked.

"No, I'm her girl-"

"Friend. She's my friend's sister and I'm just babysitting," Alison smiled nervously at the guy.

I can't believe this.

"Yea...I'm gonna go wait by the car"

"Emily wai-"

"I said I'll be by the car!" And with that I took off.
__________________________

I was repeatedly kicking one of the car's tires when I heard the trunk open and close.

"You know, kicking the tire won't do much good," Alison laughed as she unlocked the car and got in. I just stayed standing outside the door, "Em get in."

"No thanks, I think I'll just wait on my sister to pick me up," I mocked her words. She got out of the car and came over to my side.

"Im sorry about that, okay? It's just that-"

"What? Are you ashamed of me?"

"No no no, of course not babe. It's just that you're still a minor and-"

"You could get arrested...how could I be so stupid? I'm really sorry Alison"

"Don't be. I kind of like jealous Emily," she smirked.

"I wasn't jealous. I was just being protective"

"Why?"

"Because that dork was looking at you like a piece of meat"

"Really?"

"Yea, how could you not notice?"

"I guess I was too busy staring at something else"

"What?"

"...nothing. C'mon let's get home and put all these clothes away so that we can get ready for my mom," she said as she kissed my cheek and opened my door for me. Then, she got in and we took off.

"Thank you Alison," I whispered hoping she wouldn't hear me. But from the smile and nod that she just gave me, I'm pretty sure she did.

"You're so cute when you're shy," she said as she took one hand off of the stereing wheel and grabbed onto one of mine.

The things this girl does to me...it's amazing.
