Not Dead

Chapter Fourteen - Day at The Mall

Your P.O.V.

—------------

I'm finished with class for the day and I'm heading out of the building with Bill while holding hands. He turns to me.

"Wanna go shopping? Since we have the time." I look at him and smile.

"Sure, but no hypnotizing workers this time." He chuckles.

"I promise that was a one-time thing. I would never do it, I know it makes you upset." I look up at him and smile and he smiles back at me. We get to my car and hop in. I start up my car and pull out of the parking lot turning up the radio. Bill starts singing along and I chuckle. He stops and I feel him looking at me.

"Is my singing that bad?" I shake my head.

"No, it's really good. I can just tell how much you're enjoying yourself and it's cute." I smile and he starts singing along with the radio again. We pull into the mall parking lot and I get out of my car. We head in and I take him to a clothing store. I drag him to a rack with some leather jackets.

"You'd look good in one of these." I hold up one with something written on the back in a graffiti style. He chuckles.

"Look they have a matching one that'd fit you." I smile and then I look at the price. Why are leather jackets always so expensive?

"Maybe in the future when I have more saved up we can get matching leather jackets." He frowns for a second but he looks at me and smiles. I cross my arms.

"I know that look. No, you are not hypnotizing the employees to get it for free. They already suffer enough I don't want to be the reason they lose their job." He pouts.

"Fine." I chuckle and grab his hand taking him to a different store. This one has makeup in it and he sees an eyeshadow pallet he likes and points to it. I pick it up. It's full of bright colors pinks and yellows, some blues and greens. I look up at him and he's smiling at me.

"You look pretty in anything but I think you'd look especially pretty with bright eyeshadow like this."

"You'd have to do my makeup then because I'm not all that good." He smiles and nods.

"Don't worry I'll make it perfect." I chuckle and take the pallet up to the register. After I purchase the pallet we both walk out of the store, I'm starting to feel a little hungry.

"Bill let's stop at the food court so I can get some food, I'm a little hungry."

"Okay." I grab Bill's hand and pull him towards the food court. I decide I want pretzel bites so I head over to the pretzel stall and ask for pretzel bites. The teenage employee is clearly checking me out until he looks up at Bill then his face drops and he goes back to work. I look up at Bill and he's glaring down the boy. He turns to me and smiles sweetly. I get my pretzels and cheese and we go sit down at a table together.

"So are they good." I nod and smile.

"They're really good wanna try one?" He nods and I hand him a pretzel with a little cheese on it. He takes it and eats it. A look of happiness comes onto his face. He finishes eating it and he looks at me with bright eyes.

"That was amazing. You just eat things like that all the time?" I laugh.

"I only eat stuff like this when I'm at a place that makes them. By the way, I didn't know you could eat human food." He chuckles.

"We still have all the bodily functions that humans do we just don't have to use them as often since we often don't eat solid foods but we still can we just don't get any nutrition out of it." I nod.

"So it's like eating a piece of solid air, you can eat it and taste it but you get nothing out of it." He nods.

"That's one way to put it but yes." I finish up my pretzels and go to throw out my trash I come back and smile at Bill.

"You ready to go home?" He looks up at me and smiles. He stands up and grabs my hand we both walk out of the mall together hand in hand. We get back to my car and hop inside. I pull out and turn on the radio and we have a little karaoke party in the car. We finally get home and get out of the car we hold hands and chat away on the way back to the mansion we open the door and I see Gustav laying on the couch on his back looking rather bored. He hears me enter and he perks up. He stands up and runs over hugging me. I chuckle and hug him back he removes himself from the hug for a moment and he kisses my forehead.

"Welcome home my sweet." I smile up at him.

"I'm glad to be home." I turn to Bill and he smiles at me leaning down to give me a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll leave the makeup in your room go and cuddle with Gustav dear." I smile at him and nod. Gustav picks me up and carries me over to the couch. He set me on his lap and leaves kisses all over my face. I giggle and he leans his forehead on mine.

"It's boring here without you." He buries his face in my neck. I smile and run my fingers through his hair. Georg comes by and leaves a kiss on my cheek.

"Good to see you home darling." I look up at him and smile.

"Are you two ready for bed?" Gustav nods into my neck and Georg nods heading up to my room. Gustav lets go of me and we head up to my room together. I grab my pajamas and go get ready for bed. I head back into my room and I just stand there for a moment.

"Georg, can you carry me to bed?" He chuckles and walks over to me holding me in his arms. He leaves a kiss on my cheek and carries me over to my bed. He lays me down and lays down next to me. I turn to Gustav and open my arms. He pulls me closer to him and buries his face into my chest. I smile and run my fingers through his hair. Georg comes closer to me from behind and wraps his arms around my waist. He buries his face into the back of my neck.

I sleep peacefully knowing that these two would never let anything hurt me.
