dragon fire

chapter 37

Walking through the store, we stopped at the counter in the woman's department.

He asked for a certain person. A girl that looks about my age, came out and gave Quinn a hug; and for some reason its making me want to rip her head off.

"Easy darling. She's not a threat to us or our man."

Looking at her she's pale, pale blue eyes; red hair pulled into a bun.

Some people call me pale, but I look well-tanned next to her. Stepping back, Quinn took my hand; introducing me to her.

"Emily this is Shayla, Shayla this is Emily." She gave me a smile. "It's nice to meet you Shayla." "You too." We stood like that for a moment. Looking at Quinn.

"So Quinn what are we doing here?"

"Well I thought it was obvious. We're here shopping, for you." I was about to say something, but his phone rang.

"Shoot I have to go. Emily take care of her, I shouldn't be gone long. You still have that phone I gave you right?" I nodded, pulling it out of my bag, showing him, and stuck it back in my bag.

Taking my hand, he put something in it, tightening my hand around it.

"In case I'm longer then I think I will be." Opening my hand. "Your credit card?" He nodded.

"Yeah go crazy. I'll call when I'm almost done. Taking my face in his hand he gave me a sweet slow kiss. "I'll see you soon." He gave me one last kiss, and walked off fading into the crowd, until I can no longer see him.

Why does he care so much? And why does he keep doing things like this for me?

Sighing, I looked back at Emily stuffing the card keep into my purse. "So where do we start?" "Follow me." She said, and started walking further into the woman's department. Sighing, I started to follow her.

"I really don't want to do this." I mumbled to her under my breath.

"I know you don't, but you really don't have much of a choice here. It's getting closer to Christmas; so why don't we get something special for Quinn?"

"Good idea. Listen Emily has stopped, so we can't talk, well you can, but I can't respond for a while."

"I know darling, you have to be strong now; we'll get through this together."

"I know." I stopped at the rack, where Emily is, as she started pulling clothes off, taking a look at some of it, it's all in my size, and started a dressing room for me.

"Try these on, and I will look for more stuff for you."

"Thank you Emily." I said as I closed the door. I started looking through everything she gave me.

Looking through it all, it's not all that bad. There's a variety of dresses, shirts skirts, and pants.

Throwing my stuff in the corner, I first tried on a dress; it goes a little past my knees, with thick straps, dark blue, with a purple belt around the waist. Looking at myself in the mirror, it's very flattering.

"You look very beautiful my dear."

"Thank you. She does have good taste, it would appear."
