DEVUÉLVEME MI CORAZÓN(Joel Pimentel/CNCO)

Chapter 49 : The Sexy Leprechaun

-Jade-

We following day we'd gone shopping, not for me but for Joel, who was more nervous than I'd seen him in days.

"Really?" I choked back a laugh, as he stepped out of the fitting room, looking handsome in a bright green suit and yellow tie, that made him look like a leprechaun.

"What? " He glanced at his image in the mirror on the wall facing the fitting room. "You scared I might look hotter than you while  having dinner with your parents tonight?" He teased, placing a hand on his hips in a pose like manner.

"So hot, you might melt the North Pole." I muttered under my breath, walking over to the other side of the store, where some grey shirts with black and white design where. Then my eyes landed on a pair of black jeans that seemed to compliment the shirt well enough.

"Aye, I totally heard that, biscocho." Joel took long slow strides over to where I stood, just about to reach for the jeans. "So what was that you were just saying?" His hands snaked around my waist, pulling me against his warm chest, and resting his head on the crook of my neck, feeling his warm breath tickle my ear.

"Joel now's not a good time," I tried to step forward, away from his tight hold. "I need you to try on this other outfit I just put together for you."

"But I like this one." He pouted.

"But you look like a leprechaun."

"Uh, correction," he paused," A very sexy leprechaun."

"Okay, but can you please try on the next outfit?"

"What's in it for me? " He asked softly, while his eyes roamed the shirt he was to try on next.

"Um, a very nice outfit...?" I answered, rhetorically.

"You know," He whispered, his voice husky and only loud enough for me to hear," I've never made out in a fitting room."

I didn't need to see my reflection, because I could feel my cheeks tinging a deep shade of crimson red. "And today won't be your lucky day," I freed myself from his hold.

"I was kidding biscocho, calm down." He chuckled, "I didn't really mean it," He smirked as I swiftly handed him the outfit. "Unless of course, " He paused, "You want to."

"Pinche Joel," I glared at him. " Hurry up before I ditch you, don't forget I have your car keys." I dangled the keys making a jingling a sound just before he went back inside the fitting room.

"You wouldn't dare." He shot back before walking away.

Minutes later Joel stepped out of the fitting room, he turned to me, but not before heading straight for the mirror.

"Holy Jalapeños," He gasped, "Now I understand why you dig me,"

"What..?" I knitted my eyebrows together, as a puzzled look spread on my face.

"You only like me because I have a nice ass." He frowned.

"That's not true, " I defended myself, crossing my arms over my chest. " I like you because you...um...." I paused hesitantly, "You got some really nice eyelashes, okay?!"

"Why thank you, that makes me feel so much better." He blew me an air kiss, while I giggled.

We ended up buying the last outfit. It was still pretty early so afterwards we went to visit Eli, who was completely bewildered at hearing the news about our upcoming trip to Italy. "Oh my Gosh, you weren't kidding when you said you were genies!" He'd exclaimed, his eyes wide in content, because no one had ever left St.Loulou's that easily.
