Christmas 'Shopping'

I don't understand why we had to go shopping for Christmas... didn't the famous Santa bring presents? Whatever. At least I get to hang out with you.
We have been walking around this big mall for hours, holding hands, buying things, and I just really want to go home. But then something caught my eye in the display.
Stuffed animals.
I gripped your hand tight and pulled you to the display.
"Oli! Oli! Can you buy me some? Pleeeeeeease?" I begged grabbing your arm and bouncing up and down. You looked at the display.
"Jayden..."
"Oli please??" I pleaded, adding a 'puppy face' for the full effect. You can never say no to me when I do the face!
"No."
No? You started to walk away and I had let go of your hand, eyebrows furrowed, I stared at your back.
" But Oliver..."
You stopped and turned to look at me. You sighed and shook your head.
"Fine..."
I jumped and laughed.
"Yes! Thank you Oli!"
I kissed your cheek and pulled you into the shop, amazed at all of the stuffed animals there were. I went around picking up stuffed animals, squeezing them to see if they were cuddly or soft enough. I eventually ran across a porcupine . It reminded me so much if you, so I held onto it. Eventually I found a possum  too, taking those two and a big teddy bear, you and me went to pay.
I pulled out crumpled dollars from my jacket and counted them.
67 dollars. I slapped them onto the counter, beaming.
The stuffed animals costed 150 dollars though, so you paid for the rest.
Later, once we had gotten home, I took a nap in my secret room with the new stuffed animals, holding onto the porcupine the most.
