Shadows & Stars

Chapter 12: Scared

~Alexander's POV

I couldn't help but get in the fitting room with Henry. I don't know why I'm so clingy today, but I didn't mind it. He stood in between my legs working with the limited space he had. I watched him change into his different items that he chose. Every time he made the slightest movement his legs brushed against mine. 

The slight touches kind of turned me on, but luckily not too much. When he was in his underwear trying to put on another pair of pants I intrusively slapped his butt, not to hard but enough for him to jump. 

He stared down at me looking into my eyes. "Did you just slap my ass?" He whispered since there were other people in close proximity. I didn't answer. I just looked into his eyes. "Alexander." He looked at me with teasing eyes. "Henry not here." "Why not." He whispered back. "Because I wont be able to stop myself this time." I looked into his eyes. 

"Fine." He put on his original clothes and we left to the check out counter. He pulled out his card but before he could pay I beat him to it. "Alexander!" He pushed my shoulder. "What?" I pressed my eyes into a thin line then smiled. We walked out of the store before he started talking again. 

"How dare you pay for my clothes! They were expensive!" I didn't even think about the price because it wasn't even close to what I pay for mine. "Am I not allowed to?" "No of course you're not allowed to!" He shrugged. After a little back and fourth talking I 'promised' not to pay for his clothes again. Of course I'm going to though. I like spoiling him. 

When we got to the next store, he made me stay outside. He said he'd be a while so I took it as a chance to get him something. As soon as he wasn't visible in the store I took off, straight to the elevator. I went to the 3rd floor which has more my type of shops. I headed straight to the Gucci store. I took a few shirts, all in his size as well as some pairs of socks. I want my boy to look fancy for me. 

I payed and left as fast as possible hoping that Henry is still in that other store. When I got there I was pleased to see him through the window. He was looking at some short pants. He left the store empty handed. I held the Gucci bag behind my back.

"This store had cute stuff but nothing in my size." He looked slightly sad. I pulled the bag out from my back and held it in his direction. "What's this?" He asked. "A Gucci bag! Alexander what did you do!" He exclaimed angerly. "Please don't hate me. I just couldn't resist." I puppy eyed  him. We sat on a near bench as he started going through the bag. "Alexander return this immediately. I'm extremely grateful but I can't except this." He held the bag out to me. 

"Henry I'm not returning it. Consider it a gift." I looked into his eyes. "Alexander you don't buy out an entire Gucci store for a guy you like. A gift is a chocolate or a book, not clothes that cost more then I could even imagine!" 

"Henry please...For me?" I gave him a slight smile. "Fine...But from now on I'm the only one allowed to play the 'for me' card." He smiled at me. "Thank you Alexander it's really thoughtful of you." He gave me a hug. 

"Want to go get something to eat?" I lift an eyebrow. "Sure." He replied still looking through the bag. 

We went to the area that had all the restaurants. "What are you in the mood for?" I asked him. "I don't know, you can choose." He replied. 

We got to a restaurant, ordered and ate our food. I lifted my hand signaling the waiter over to us. "Hey how can I help you?" She asked. "You may bring the bill thank you." I smiled at her. 

The waiter brought the bill as well as a card machine. As I was getting out my card I heard a beep. "Henry did you just pay?" He didn't answer. He gave the waiter a smile and she left. "Henry. Why did you pay?" I felt slight rage. "Alexander, you have done MORE then enough for me. Me paying for one meal is only a drop in the bucket compared to what you have payed." 

"Henry I like paying for you." I smiled at him. "Yeah well I don't like it when you pay for me."  He gave me a serious look. 

We got up to continue shopping. We went into a few more stores but he made me give him my wallet so that I cant pay for his stuff anymore. The shopping bags filled both our hands fast. "Okay that was the last store." I was relieved at his words. I'm tired of the mall now. 

We left the mall, immediately feeling the warm air against our skin. We went to my Jeep and put everything on the backseat. I opened his door for him and helped him up by giving him my hand. I like treating him like this, it makes him smile. 

When I started the ignition he immediately put on some music and then put his hand on my thigh. My love language is physical touch so him doing that means a lot to me. I crossed his arm with mine and put my hand on his thigh, rubbing it with my thumb. 

~Henry's POV

We arrived at my house and Alexander helped me carry all the bags to my room. When we went back down we were met by my mother and father. Alexanders face turned red immediately. "Mom, dad this is..." I was interrupted by my dad. "Alexander Deveraux." Wait how does my dad know him? I stared at my dad confused. "He's head boy at our school." My dad continued. Wait so Alexander goes to the school where my dad works at! It is literally the most high-end school to get into. They have like a 5 year wait list. I don't know why I'm shocked because I expected nothing less.

"Nice to see you again Mr. Hayes." He held his hand out to greet my father. "And you must be Mrs. Hayes." He shook her hand as well. My parents both greeted him and then we left the house.

"I didn't know you went to the school my dad works at!" I pushed his shoulder lightly. "I didn't know your dad works at the school I go to." He smiled at me. "Please tell me my dad likes you! That would make life so much easier." I begged for the right answer. 

"Yeah he does. I think so at least. I mean I am head boy so he knows I'm a decent guy." He smiled. 

I went in for a hug and he hugged back resting his chin on my head. "So after today, are you still interested in kissing me?" I asked him. "Hmm, you weren't as crazy as you made it sound, so I guess." 

I leaned in and closed my eyes. My lips soon met his. I followed his motion. We broke the kiss and I watched him getting into his car then drove of. 

When I went up to my room I got a message from an unknown number. My heart sank when I saw it. 

There were photo's of me and Alexander at the mall. The message below the photo's said, "Having fun?"

The photo's were actually very cute but this is extremely creepy. I blocked the number immediately and felt shivers down my spine.
