Chapter Twenty-Four

Isabelle's POV

My blue eyes were shifted towards the long rows of stores on my left. I barely paid attention to what Alison was doing to poor Niall, for I just couldn't look away. Everywhere I turned in this massive mall, a new store would seem to pop out of nowhere. I don't think we've passed the same store once yet! With me growing up in a small town, I never had the privlage to see anything like this. Again, I became amazed at how quickly my life has changed since the X-Factor; met my four best friends, won the competition, signed to a record label, and now I'm dating-

"You still amazed, love?" The sound of a familiar British-accented voice cut off my thoughts. My head snapped towards Harry when he spoke, a slight blush rising to my cheeks as I realized I've drifted from reality for almost the tenth time.

Finally, I managed to nod my head, leaning against his side slightly when he wrapped his arm around me. "Maybe.."

Harry let out a deep throated chuckle, shaking his head as he leaned down to peck the top of my head. With him being five'eleven and me being five'seven, he had to bend down quite a bit. "You didn't miss too much; Alison's still wanting to shop, though I think we should head back to the tour bus before she ends up spending every penny I have." His tone of voice was joking, but when I met his eyes, they looked pretty serious.

Not that I'm surprised. Alison has bought the crap out of every store in this place. Looking over at her now, I glancede over the bags and bags that were overflowing with clothes of all colors. Even her bags had bags! Niall was carrying a couple himself; he looked almost amused, though would end up getting tangled in the mess and a deep red color would show up on his cheeks. Then, I glanced down at my own bags; Rue 21, Bath and Body Works, and Shoe Carnival. Not near as much as my bandmate.

I let my eyes look back at Harry before nodding immediately; we've had enough of the mall for one day. "Agreed," I stated before glancing back at the couple. "Shopping day is over."

Alison took in a breath, whirling her head to look at me as if I'd said something offending. "Wait; we need to stop by JC Penny's!" she exclaimed in an almost despreat way.

Before I could argue back, Niall stepped in. "We might be able to come back tomorrow after our interview," he suggested in his thick Irish accent, glancing in the girl's direction.

Ali's mood completely, changed, nodding and fluttering her long eyelashes at him. I watched in surprise as she said, "Okay, I guess I can wait." Hold up; Alison isn't the type of girl who can 'wait' to go shopping. When she wants to shop, you let her shop. Damn, she must really, really like him!

Harry cleared his throat, gesturing towards a hallways full of people. Again, stores lined the sides, and I watched as people dashed madly in and out of stores. At the very end of the hall is two glass double-doors. A big exit sign hung above it in red, capital letters. Thank God this trip was over; four hours of shopping after a sound check is really exausting.

Niall and Alison took the lead, as they have the entire shopping trip, while Harry and I stayed a few feet behind. We got a few glances thrown our way, and in the corner of my eye I could see a teenager taking pictures of us with her iPhone. You might think that I'm used to this type of attention, but I'm not. Honestly, I don't think I ever will. Thankfully the paparazzi hasn't bothered us at all. Every few minutes we would get a request for a picture or autograph, but I don't mind that sort of thing.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Again, the sound of Harry's voice threw me from my thoughts, and I blinked a couple of times as reality came back to me.

I shrugged my shoulders, saying, "Nothing, really." I leaned my shoulder against him as his arm tightened slightly around me. "I'm so tired," I complained lightly, sticking out my bottom lip a bit. I could feel Harry shake slightly as he let out a small chuckle.
