Shopping (Ch. 8)

"Oh my god.
Did I really call him..
Pretty. Boy."

I mumbled in realization as I woke up the day after.
I squeezed my eyes shut.

I'm such an idiot.
It probably has to do with my tiredness yesterday.

I kicked a few clothes away that were laying in front of me.

"That brat"

Why do I always get so soft when he's near me? I hate myself.

I looked at my phone.
"Does that idiot even still use his phone?"

Right when I said that, he sent me a message.
"I don't know why i'm telling this but i'm eating breakfast right now"

I had to smile, no matter how hard I tried not to.

He's so childish.

I laid my phone on my bed and stretched my muscles while looking through a window.
It was raining.
Again.

Anyways, i've held back enough money to buy a table now. and maybe two chairs
So, at least I have something to do today.

I put some clothes on and quietly walked to a furniture shop.
I don't want people to notice me.

I stood still in the middle of the city.
What's a cheap shop?
I should've looked it up first..
I don't have my phone with me..

Suddenly, I heard someone scream.

"Silver!"
He hugged me.
"Where are you going?"
It was Gold.

I flinched a little but quickly fixed myself.
"Get off me, you brat. I'm going to look for a table and a few chairs"

He stopped hugging me.
"I'm sorry, you just looked cute.
He smiled a little.
"I know a cheap shop, it's just around the block"

I rolled my eyes.
"Well, take me there"

"I actually wanted to visit you, so.. sure"

He walked ahead of me.

After just a few minutes walking he turned around and smiled at me.
"We're there. Want me to keep sellers away who almost force you to buy something?"

I smiled.
"Uh, yes.."
I hesitated.
"But only because it's annoying to deal with them!"

He chuckled somewhat.
"I know, it's okay"

He walked next to me and we looked for a table.

We heard someone behind us.
"Sir, lady, can I possibly be of your help?"

Lady?

We turned around and saw the person who the voice belonged to.
It was a young, blonde woman, around our age.

"Oh, excuse me! I meant gentlemen"
She scanned my appearance. "You look quite feminine."
and then she scanned Gold's, and bit her red lips.

"What brings you here, sir?"
She said while her eyes kept flashing to Gold's lips and collarbones.

"Uh, nothing really we were just looking around.."

Is this his way of keeping sellers away?

"Ohh, tell me if I can help you, sexy"
She said to Gold while stepping closer to him.

Really? She's way too close to him. uhm, me.
"Would you mind backing off?" I snapped and grabbed Gold's hand.
"He's not interested in you"

She looked offended.
"How would you know, you ugly duck"

"Back off you nasty-"

She interrupted me.

"Why would I? Are you jealous i'll take your boyfriend? He looks really uncomfortable with holding your hand"

I looked at him.. he actually did.. why am I even holding his hand to begin with? He's gay and i'm not and he can also defend himself.

"Don't you dare call him ugly"
Gold said.
"I'll tell your boss you're bothering us"

"Ugh, fine. I only thought you were hot. Sorry or something, have fun with your redhead"

'Your redhead'? Is she right in her head?

She  walked somewhere else, and I quickly pulled my hand back.

"Thank you for defending me"
He said.
"Let's go look for a table now..
Do you like me?"

"No, but she did"

"Oh.. how do you like that table?"

I saw a sad look in his eyes.. I wonder why.
"It's nice.. but you seem sad, why?"

"It's nothing"
He said, and sat on a table
"I really like this one, it has a classy feeling to it"

I looked at him and smirked.

"Can I ask you something?"
