Red Flag

Chapter Thirty-five

They had landed in Sacramento very early in the morning, there wasn't much to do there so they left their bags in the hotel and went to the shopping area, the big shoes stores specifically. Matt was always on the look out for good shoes.

Brandon had met them down at Sacramento, he had a few days off at work and wanted to spend time with his roommates since they hadn't really seen each other in a while.

"Do you wanna go see your grandparents?" Matt asked his girlfriend as they walked hand in hand through the parking lot of the Walmart. "You can give me a call and we'll pick you up" he shrugged

"Nah, I'll just run into them if I have to. I know my grandma will bring my parents situation up and I don't feel like talking about the monster" she told him "It's enough with Peyton blaming Sawyer and Nick's anger towards her, on me" she said, squeezing his hand "like always, everything that's wrong with mom is my fault" she rolled her eyes.

"Hey, hey..let's not talk about that" he said throwing his left arm around her shoulders and pulling her closer "how bout we buy some Js, huh?" He mumbled into her hair and kissed her forehead

"More?" She looked up at him "you have like 800 pairs of shoes" she laughed.

"So do you babe" he said in a mocking tone "it's not my fault your man has style" he said letting go of her and posing, and twirling around to show of his outfit

"Can't wait to see you in shorts for two weeks in New Zealand" she said, knowing he only had sweatshorts but his outfits would still be stylish as fuck.

"Right back at ya" he winked at her while walking backwards "And wait till you see me in trunks" he said biting his lip jokingly "you'll melt"

"Look, babe! Toothless, white and black oncies!" Ryan exclaimed at her boyfriend, feeling the soft fabric of the payamas.

"...No" he said, lifting a finger in the air

"But-" she pouted at him

"Girl, firstly, we're like a month into summer now" he shook his head "if you wanna make a Rife wear ridiculous things it better be your sons before they're conscious enough to refuse" he told her.

"...that's fine with me..." she shrugged and dropped the payama and went to see other things.

The girl walked around, checking out random things and stopping at the school supplies section. It was an unhealthy obsession she had, she loved collecting notebooks, markers, pens and highlighters even tho she was well pass her school years.

As her boyfriend was fixated in the shoes section she went back to the clothes area. Seeing the tiny clothes made for babies and toddlers, her heart sank. She was on her period, which meant every little thing would bring her to tears. And the baby subject was now a very sensitive topic for her.

Picking up a tiny hoodie with dinosaurs on it, she brought a hand to her lower stomach and sighed as her eyes got watery.

"Soon.." she told herself and put it back before going in search of her man.

Wondering the different isles for a while, she finally peaked her head into the correct one and saw Matt trying to choose a pair of Jordans. A light green one in his left hand and a light blue one is his right hand as he seemed to be zoning out.

She snuk up on him and wrapped her arms around his waist from the back, placing her cheek on his side. That gave her a strange sense of deja vu but she blinked it out of her mind.

"There you are, I was looking for you" he looked down at her "should I get the light blue ones?" He turned to her, holding both shoes out to her when she let go.
