The Closer You Look... (Now You See Me, Jack Wilder fanfic)

Chapter 20 ~ Girls day out

Henley decided to take is shopping before we had to get back on the dreaded plane and fly home.  It was nice to see her so excited over all the shoes and dresses. 

"You boys disappear for a little while, I'd like some girl time with Niki" she told them.

Jack released my hand that had been tightly squeezed in his own and winked back at me before turning in the other direction.

"I've noticed you don't have that many clothes, and since we are in Paris we may as well stock up your wardrobe a little" she smiled and clapped her hands then dragged me into the nearest clothes shop.

"Ooh this is cute" she said holding a dark purple strapless dress up to me.
"Maybe not your colour though"

She continued to pull out items from the rails and hand them to me. Once my arms were aching from the clothes I'd been carrying we went to try on the outfits.

"That dress looks lovely on you, really suits your figure" she smiled.  I looked in the mirror but we clearly weren't looking at the same thing. I hated dresses, I saw them as an unnecessary problem as you can't run in them or fight in them.  Not that I would really need to do those things but I'd rather be in shorts.

After refusing to buy any dresses and just getting a few tops and pairs of jeans my arms were killing me from all the bags I was carrying. Henley had almost bought a while boutique store since the shoes were so cute.

I had let her by me a pair of black stiletto heels with a knot in the material over the front. They were 6" heels so I was somewhat tall in them.  I could walk easily in heels.

We sat down on a bench and text the boys where we were. Before they arrive I spotted a black playsuit in the window of a shop.

"What about that?" I pointed it out to Henley.

"Sure, let's go have a look"

We went in and I found the black long sleeved, low cut playsuit in my size. Which was difficult since I don't know European sizes as they are different in both England and America.

I put it on with the black heels I bought and walked out of the changing room.

"Wow" Was Henleys first reaction,
"You look amazing"

"Thanks" I replied and blushed slightly, not used to the compliments.

I loved this outfit, the waist fitted perfectly and the shorts weren't too tight that it was hard to move comfortably. The front was a low cut v but not in a slutty way.

It's safe to say I bought the playsuit.  We met the boys outside and they had got us milkshakes.

"Boost chocolate bar and coffee?" Jack asked as he handed me the milkshake cup.

"Of course" wow this guy is getting to know me well.

The ride back the hotel was quiet, except for the occasional slurp from the cups.  Our bags were packed and loaded into the taxi when we arrived so we just had to check out of our rooms and hand the key in.  Danny collected our keys and took them inside while we waited in the taxi.  It smelt damp and like cigarette smoke.

"Buy anything nice?" Jack asked and nodded down at the shopping bags.

"Yeah I got..." I started

"It's a surprise" Henley yelled over me.  She could be loud when she wants to, but a tiny taxi really wasn't the place.

The plane journey home was boring, Jack fell asleep cuddling me so I had to sit there for most of the way home since I didn't want to wake him. I listened to music and played games on my phone.  It was really quiet and I think everyone was tired from the trip.  I drove my car from the airplane hanger/garage and Jack slept the whole way home too. Home wow it's been a while since I've said that.  This car had basically become my home.

It was late afternoon when we got backs due to the time difference, so we unpacked, put clothes in the wash and lazed about watching tv.  Merritt put the film Top Gun on and Henley went to make food for us since she didn't want to watch the fighter pilots.

Jack and I were laying on our sofa, yes it's our sofa now, we have designated seats. He wrapped one arm around my waist so I didn't fall off and the other was tracked hinder is head.  He gently twisted and twirled my hair through his fingers while we watch the film.

We ate dinner quietly and drank a few beers to celebrate our good work. Henley wanted champagne but we thought that was a bit much. The film had finished and we put the radio on while making quiet conversation.

"Nix what are you doing?" Jack asked, one of my favourite songs was playing and I was fidgeting in time with the music.

I stood up and took his hands, pulling him up with me. I wrapped is arms around my waist and put my arm around his neck.

"Dancing" I whispered into his ear, and we swayed to the music. The others thought it was funny but joined in and soon we had the music cranked up high and we were jumping around the living room.

When we were all tired we turned the music off and went to bed. I think we may have kept the neighbours up most of the night.

"Where did you learn to dance like that?" Jack asked when we were cuddled up in bed.

"At races. There's always good music and a lot of dancing if you aren't racing" I replied and rubbed my eyes.

"You will have to take me sometime" I heard him whisper. I yawned and nodded against his chest, gently drifting off to sleep in our cozy little flat.
