FIVE

(Sam's POV)

Kian posed seductively, and I looked to see him with a bra around his neck. I started cracking up, and so did he. 

"Put it back!" I rolled my eyes at the giant dork I was starting to really like. 

He threw it off and accidentally hit some poor man in the face. He grabbed my shirt and ducked behind a rack of socks, pulling me down with him. He snickered like a schoolgirl as the man looked around. "Shh!" I whispered, putting my finger against his lip to mimic the signal to shut the fuck up. 

He smiled at me, showing off his cute-ass dimples and looked down at my lips for half a second. It felt like longer, and I wasn't just about to shrug off the fact that a hella cute boy seemed interested in me. 

When the coast was clear, we both stood up slowly, searching around us for the man. We concluded that he was nowhere to be found and we could continue on shopping. We walked into H&M (according to him, one of Kian's favorite stores), and the boy kept piling item after item into my arms. 

"Ki, I don't want all this." I begged, practically drowning in fabric. 

He stopped in his place. "Why? They'd look cute on you." 

My heart melted but I decided to think back to what mattered more, the fact that I was slowly and inevitably falling for this boy, and that I couldn't be selfish and waste all his money away on clothes that won't even fit my fat body. 

"These are great...but.."

He raised his messy eyebrows that I was growing fond of. "But what, Sammy?" 

I really really liked it when he called me that. 

"They won't fit me." 

He frowned immediately. "What..what are you saying?" 

I looked down at his feet. "I think we should maybe get these in a size up. That's what I'm saying." 

He sighed deeply. 

"I don't get it. I don't get how someone so... so perfect thinks he's nothing."

He couldn't possibly think that of me. 

"I'm not perfect, Kian." 

He rolled his eyes and hit the wall. "I'll have you know that in my eyes, thus far, you fucking are perfect Sam. And I like you a hell of a lot, something I haven't done in my whole life. Okay, I do not get attatched, like ever, but now it's all fucked up in my mind and I think that I am starting to obtain feelings for you in the midst of all this. I just don't know how incredibly blind you must be if you don't see how skinny you already are, how beautiful you are, how funny and charming you are." 

He was really getting upset. I set the bundle of clothes down and hugged him as hard as I could, toppling over a few items in the process. I felt so safe with him, like- like I could breathe after years of suffocating. 

And I loved that feeling. 

He kissed me on the top of the head and I smiled. 

He ended up buying me nearly two hundred dollars worth of clothes in the end, and he definitely followed through on the whole 'treating me like royalty' promise. 

We sat alongside each other in the food court of the mall, my legs sprawled across his lap as he laughed and made jokes while munching away on his Panda Express. 

He held out his fork to my mouth and I bit off a piece of orange chicken. I wasn't even hesitant to eat it, that's how blindsided I was by his beauty. 

He looked at his phone and saw the time. 4:11.

"Huh," he muttered to himself. 

"What?"

"Oh, I just looked at the time. I mean, I easily could've guessed that it was like one, but four? Already? It's just surreal to me. Like dinner is so soon and I don't have anything to wear and I haven't made the reservations yet and-" Kian said sweetly.

I cut him off.

"Baby. We don't need to go anywhere fancy. You just spent so much money...I can't ask for anything more."

He shook his head. "But you deserve more, you deserve someone who can treat you like a celebrity and bathes you in riches."

I laughed. "I don't want that. I just want someone who can come over to my dorm room, sprawl out on the bed with me and watch netflix all day long. I want someone like you."

He blushed and then stared deeply into my eyes for the longest time. 

"Let's get outta here," he suggested.

I smiled. "I would love nothing more."
