Shop 'till you drop

After running to my room and dressing in my newly washed clothing, I head back down the stairs to wait for the guys. Mr. Blackbourne and Dr. Green are standing at the front door, talking. I stop at the bottom of the stairs, not wanting to interrupt them, but not knowing where I should go. It doesn't take long for Dr. Green to see me standing there.

"Pookie!" He says, with an easy grin. "All ready for your shopping adventure with the guys?"

I nod. "I wish you guys were going, though," I whisper. It would be nice to have them with us.

"We wish we could as well, Miss Sorenson," Mr. Blackbourne says, with a millimeter smile. "We will see you this evening, for dinner. Enjoy your time shopping."

"Thank you," I say with a smile.

They both head out the door and I go to the kitchen to wait for the guys. I didn't realize they were all ready to go, and waiting for me in the kitchen.

"Did I keep you guys waiting too long?" I ask, worrying my bottom lip. "I tried to hurry."

"No," Victor says, standing from the bar stool he was perched on. "We were just discussing where we would be going first."

"Sorry, Baby but Silas and I got called into work," North says, with a scowl. "We wanted to go with you all, but maybe we will catch up with you guys after work."

"That's okay, North," I say, though it makes me a bit sad they have to go also. "I will see you guys soon."

North comes up and gives me a big hug, telling me he will see me later. As soon as he sets me down, Silas scoops me up into a big hug, just like he did this morning. He gives really great hugs.

"Be good, Sang Baby!" North calls, as they head out the front door.

"Ready for a fucking awesome day, Trouble?" Gabriel asks, rubbing his hands together. "We are going to go to the mall. They have everything there."

"I've never been to a mall before!" I grin. "I can't wait!"

Kota chuckles and puts his arm around my shoulders, guiding me to the front door. "This should be interesting. Your first mall trip is being lead by Gabriel."

"Lord help us," I hear Luke whisper as we head for the garage.

~~~~~~

The drive to the mall was uneventful, but very beautiful. As we pass the main gate, I notice how elaborate the security in this place is. I wonder why it would need to be so hidden and secure? Surely they don't have to keep it such a secret from the world.

After making our way through the forest and dirt roads, we made it to the main road. It took us about an hour to get to the mall. Because there were six of us going, we took two cars. Kota, Victor, and Nathan drove in one car. Luke, Gabriel, and I drove in another car.

"We are here!" Gabriel yells as we pull into the parking lot.

I can see Kota pulling in behind us. We drive around for a few moments, looking for two parking spots that are close together. Once we find a place to park, we all pile out of the cars and follow Gabriel's lead.

The first place we stop is Victoria's Secret. Gabriel drags me inside the store, ignoring the protests coming from the other guys.

"Come on, Trouble," Gabriel says, grinning from ear to ear. "You need panties, right? You can't just go commando!"

Luke snorts at Gabriel's idea, earning him a chop in the head. "Shut it, Luke," Gabriel says, with an eye roll. After finding a sales lady and telling her to measure me and get me a whole new set of bra's an panties, Gabriel walks off to look around the store. Half an hour later, I have ten bras and twenty pairs of panties.
