22nd of December 2012

After breakfast had ended and Anastasia and Kyrie finished their conversation they went there separate ways. Kyrie went to his gym and Anastasia went to the guest room. As she sat on the bed she thought of Kyrie. He was such a great guy and even though they had only known each other's name for an hour, she knew they would become close friends. Her thoughts than drifted to the television that was planted on the wall in front of her. She turned it on and there was her favourite show, F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Although she hadn't seen the show in quite some time, two  years to be exact, she remember how funny and enjoyable she found it. After binge watching a few episodes a sweaty Kyrie popped into the room to see how she was settling in. Truth is Kyrie had no idea why he let Anastasia stay in his house, but his gut feeling said he should let her stay, so he did. Anastasia eyes that were glued to the television screen was now glued to the shirtless man who stood in front of her. His body was covered in hundreds of tattoos, that made his dark skin pop. A thin layer of sweat glazed his body, defining his muscles perfectly. "How are you feeling?" Kyrie asked, as he brought a towel to his face to remove the sweat that was there. "Good, uh, how was the workout, seems like it was a good one." Anastasia said lowly. Kyrie had notice that she was a very shy and quite girl, which made her very cute. "Yeah it was good. I think I'll bring you to the mall today, you can't be wearing clothes that hang off of you for the rest of your life." Kyrie chuckled before glazing at the television. "You like that show." He said motioning to the television. Anastasia nodded before quickly looking down at the sheets. "We will leave in fifteen if that's good with you?" Kyrie said looking at Anastasia the whole time. "Okay." Anastasia mumbled before Kyrie once again left the room. Anastasia had a few butterflies floating around in the pit of her stomach after that short encounter with Kyrie. She couldn't be falling for him already.

          The ride to the mall was silent. Music played in the car. Anastasia was liking the music choice of Kyrie. Her head was moving to the beat of the Drake song. Kyrie looked over to see Anastasia moving to 'One Dance'. A smile spread across Kyrie's face. He pulled into the malls carpark. "We're here!" Kyrie announced. Anastasia and Kyrie walked closely beside each other walking into the mall. The mall was quiet, not many people were there at 9:30 am. The mall was decorated very festive, red, green and white being the main theme. A huge Christmas tree was in the middle of the mall covered in lights and ornaments. Anastasia stood there in shock. Kyrie stood there and looked at her, she looked like a little child. A small smile was on her face, eyes wide. Kyrie laughed and grabbed her hand guiding her through the large mall. He guided her to Abercrombie & Finch. They walked into the store hand and hand. Anastasia cheeks warmed up when she realised Kyrie didn't let go of her hand. "Anastasia, pick out a couple items, I'll be in the men section when your done." Kyrie said before letting go of Anastasia hand. Anastasia heart dropped a little when he let go of her hand. She had to admit she was crushing on him a little bit. Anastasia walked around the store, searching through racks and piles of clothing. She picked out a few simple items. Two pairs of jeans, one black with ripped knees and the other dark washed denim, and also one fleece jacket and two sweaters, one pink and the other green. Anastasia then went into the men's section to find Kyrie, who was looking at a khaki jacket. "Hey.." Anastasia whispered but loud enough for Kyrie to hear. Kyrie turned his head to see her looking down at the floor. She was so shy and Kyrie found that adorable. "Whatchu' find?" Kyrie asked. She showed him the items. "They look nice, uh, what do you think of this?" He said pointing at the khaki jacket. "It's nice, you should try it on.." Anastasia said, Kyrie nodded knowing that what he should do. He took off the black jacket, exposing the fitted long sleeved shirt that hugged his muscles tightly. Her eyes quickly traced his godly features before he put the jacket on. "I think it looks good." She mumbled, still in awe at his body. Kyrie smiled at her before proceeding to the checkout. Stores after stores after stores, Anastasia feet started to hurt. She was never one to complain but Kyrie could definitely see she couldn't shop for much longer. "We only have two more stores to go to then we can go and get something to eat." Kyrie told her. Soon the ended up in front of a very very pink store, Pink. Kyrie led Anastasia inside the store, everything looked so comfortable. She grabbed everything that was in her sight. Kyrie just laughed. An embarrassed Anastasia mumbled a silent "sorry". Kyrie led her into the other store that was attached to Pink, it was black glossy walls with hints of pink throughout the store. Anastasia knew it was Victoria Secret. "Uh, I guess you should grab yourself some underwear and stuff.." Kyrie said, Anastasia just gave a slight nod before walking around the store. She grabbed a few pairs of panties. She made her way to the bras. She didn't really know what size she was. "Um excuse me, do you need any help?" Said a middle aged women. Anastasia nodded. "What size are you?" "I'm not sure.." Anastasia admitted. "Don't worry hunny, we will take measurements. Follow me please." She said as she led Anastasia to a back room. After getting all the measurements, she walked back out to the store. A worried Kyrie ran towards her. "I didn't know where you went, are you okay?" Kyrie said as he placed his hand on her lower back. "Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend, he could have been in the room too. You are a very lucky man, she is very.. perky." The store assistant said before finding another customer to help. "Uh yeah, I'm fine, I was just getting measurements." Anastasia said. Kyrie held a smirk on his face after the assistants comments, Anastasia's cheeks started to heat up. "I'm gonna grab a few bras." Anastasia said before running off. She selected the bras before meeting Kyrie at the checkout. After Kyrie paid for the items the cashier smiled. "Aren't you lucky to have a boyfriend who buys you all this stuff." The cashier giggled, Anastasia gave a small smile back. Kyrie knew she was uncomfortable so he grabbed her hand guiding her out of the store. "Let's just go to Footlocker then we will go get some food..." Kyrie said trying to bring Anastasia, who was lost in her thoughts, back to reality. She looked at all the bags that Kyrie and herself held. She was lucky.
