The drive to the mall was a short one, so we didn't really get to talk much on the way. As soon as we arrived, Alex got out of the car and ran over to my side to open the door for me. What a sweetheart.
"So where do you wanna go first?", he asks me while eying the mall.
"I don't know, let's just roam around the mall and get into the first store that catches our eye", I suggest.
"What are you actually shopping for?", oh. Will he find it weird if I tell him that I'm shopping for Drew's party? Never mind, I tell him anyway.
"Uhm, I need a new dress for Drew's party so..."
"Heh, okay", he chuckled. "C'mon lets go", he took my hand in his, not lacing our fingers, just holding hands like "friends" do. That pretty much gave me the butterflies, but I didn't show it on my face. We walked for about twenty minutes till a dress caught my eye. It was on a mannequin inside the shop. It was a little black dress which was backless and had some sequins on it, not too much. Just right.
I get into the shop and walk towards the mannequin, I instantly fell in love with the dress. I had to get it, and it was at a good price too. Okay, maybe not a good price, it was a little expensive, but I wanted it so bad.
Alex walked into the store and stood next to me. "Pretty. You like this, huh?", he smiled and raised one eyebrow up at me.
"It's amazing. Let me go and try it, okay. Hold this for me", I hand him my purse and take the dress from the rack, which was near the mannequin, and head towards the trial room. After trying it on, I look at myself in the mirror. Perfect. It fitted perfectly and it's hard not to sound like a narcissist, but I looked really good in it. I walk outside and see Alex sitting on the chair right in front of the trial room. His eyes widen and his jaws drop a little when he sees me. I blush a bit at his reaction and turn so that he could see the back.
"Holy shit, Stella", he says while 'checkin me out', "You look smokin' "
"Thanks, well you can go and check something out in the men's section, I need to look at some accessories", I smile and go back inside the change into my normal clothes, denim shorts and a black and white top.
After around fifteen minutes, and finding no luck in accessories, I get back to the checkout counter where I had to pay for the dress. Before I could even get in the line for payment, I felt a hand grab my waist and I was turned around. I saw Alex, holding a bag, his hand still at my waist. You could just get lost in those mesmerising eyes of his. I came back to my senses and realised that the in the bag which he was holding, was the dress which I was just about to pay for! No, he did not just pay for my dress! It was quite a large amount and he didn't even know me well. This guy could give me butterflies just by his small gestures, but he just bought a bloody dress for me.
"Alex you did not have to do tha-", I was interrupted by him grabbing my wrist and taking me out of the store.
"Shut up, I had to do that. Now please can we go to the food, I'm starving!", I laugh and we head towards a Chinese store and eat. We talked and laughed more than we ate, honestly. Alex is such a fun person to be around, he doesn't really have a 'reputation' at school as today was his first day. Bunking on the first day? Ha, what a rebel.
We strolled around the mall some more, hand in hand, and bought some shoes and accessories for me, and a flannel for him. As it was about to get late, we got in the car and decided to head home.
When we reached my parking lot, I asked him to park there as you know about my mom. One good thing about this is that my mom doesn't keep curfews for me, she at least gives me some liberty and I'm grateful for that. As I was heading home, he grabs my hand and pulls me back so that our chests are touching and our eyes lock.
"You know I really had an amazing time with you Stella, and I'd love to do it again sometime.", he says.
"Me too, well you're coming to Drew's party tomorrow right? Why don't we go together, yeah?", I say hoping he'd agree.
"Uhm aren't you going with Blake?", he says, with curiosity in his eyes.
I think for a second before responding, "No, I don't think so, I'd love to go with you, good night Alex and thanks for the dress"
"I'll pick you up at 8, and my pleasure ma'am", he's so cute. With that, he pulls me closer and in no time, I feel his lips against mine, and sparks fly throughout my body. It wasn't my first kiss, but it was definitely the best. At first, it was soft and slow, but then it picked up pace and I got this jolt of energy through my body. We pulled back for air, and ended up smiling like idiots at each other.
"Bye Alex!", I reply with a kiss on his cheek.
"Bye beautiful!"
