Almost Is Never Enough

Chapter 97

"Nareesha, please try and not go crazy at H&M today?" Siva said from the back.

"Mhmm okay baba," she said, not paying attention.

You rolled your eyes at her and looked out the window. Nathan leaned over to you and whispered, "you alright, love?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" You whispered.

"You look annoyed," he shrugged.

"Nareesha is being such a girl," you joked.

"Yeah she is, thanks for not being like that," Nathan said, laughing.

"You're welcome," you laughed.

"We're here!" Max said, as you all got out of the car.

"Yea!!!" Nareesha cheered as she quickly got out of the car.

"Calmate tiger," Siva joked as you all walked into the mall, Nareesha making a beeline for Forever 21.

"Siva's gonna have to watch her so she doesn't max out her credit card," you said.

"Yup," Nathan said.

Nareesha grabbed your arm. "YOU'RE GETTING A NEW DRESS," she said, pulling you towards the dress section.

"Nareesha, I don't need a new dress!" You said as she started looking for your size.

"You always need new dresses," she said seriously. "Try this on," she said, throwing a dress at you.

"You understand this is wrong too, right Kels?" You said.

Kelsey nodded, laughing. You walked into the dressing room and got changed. "Hurry up!" Nareesha said from the other side of the door. You sighed, and walked out of the dressing room. "You have to get that!" Nareesha said. You blushed and spun around.

"You-umm-you look...nice," Nathan said, scratching the back of his neck.

"Thanks," you said, looking in the mirror. It was a really pretty dress.

Nathan was blushing and looking away. "Jay would love it. You should get it," he said.

"Alright, you win Nunu," you said, stepping back into the dressing room to take it off.

"I'll buy it for you," Nathan said, taking the dress from your hand once you stepped back out.

"You don't have to, Nath. I got it," you said.

"Please. Let me," he said.

"Fine. But only this one time," you said. Nathan grinned and went off to buy the dress.

"I'm paying him back," you muttered.

"He'll notice," Kelsey said as you all watched Nathan pay for your dress. Nareesha was behind him, with many things she "had" to buy.

"Need some help carrying all that?" The cashier joked at Nareesha.

"That's alright. I have a boyfriend to do that for me," Nareesha joked.

Siva groaned and everyone laughed as Nathan walked back over with the dress. You grabbed the receipt and looked at it before Nathan grabbed it back. "I'm paying you back," you said.

"No you're not," he said adamantly.

"Yes I am," you persisted.

Nathan put down the bag containing the dress and picked you up, throwing you over his shoulder. He ran out of the store and stopped a couple of stores down. "I'm not putting you down until you say you won't pay me back," he said.
