shopping trips

i had just gotten out of the shower and taylor ha just gotten back from football practice. our practices ran a little shorter than there's and apparently he had to run extra plays and laps and workouts to be able to play in tomorrow's game. "I don't have a date tomorrow night to my banquet they're putting on... do you know anyone that would want to go with me? anyone with a rockin bod and the best ass around that'll all mine?" he kissed my jawline and his hands were right on top of my ass and i couldn't help but kiss him as hard as i could.

"I'll come along... as long as you give me the money to go buy a dress. i know those things are fancy as shit." i told him.

"can i come shopping with you?" he said with a smirk.

"no not if i want the dress to be a surprise." i told him takin his wallet out his pocket. "plus, i need some more nike shorts. put those on your tab too?"

"oh hell no. not at that price." he said taking it back.

"if I let you come shopping with me for nikes can you get em? I'm trying not to spend all my money." I told him with a puppy dog face.

"oh but you'll spend all mine right?" he said sarcastically. "it's not like you have to pay rent. you're moms got that covered."

"if I buy four pair will you buy four pair? please?" i was begging him. i needed the custom ones for games and one for every day of the week for practice. we can't wear the same color every day. team policy for some reason.

he thought about it and nodded and then said "you sure I can't come shopping with you for that dress? I'll pay for that either way."

"wait so you're gonna buy the dress?" I asked excitedly. i needed to get him a present for all the shit he's done for me and i already knew what I was getting him.

he nodded and then tossed me my phone and said "c'mon. let's go."

"am i driving?" I asked him.

he looked at me with big eyes and said "honestly, i do not trust you as a driver. at all. not one bone in my body."

"what do you mean?! I'm a great driver!" i said offended.

"yea. okay" he said as he rolled his eyes at me.

I grabbed my keys and ran as fast as I could with him on my heels. I knew he would lock the door and I would get to the car first and I would win about getting to drive but still, I had to make it look like I was trying.

when he got in the Tahoe, he stuck his tongue out at me and then I leant in to kiss him on the cheek. "you know you love it so just don't even go there."

he smiled at me and I drove to the mall. when we got there, people immediately recognized who he was. the 'star quarterback'.

a few kids wanted pictures. a few teens wanted autographs. a few people wanted stuff signed and a quote from him. I stood off to the side of him and he laced my fingers through mine. he knew I hated these sort of things. but I knew he couldn't help it. it's who he was and that's what I needed to understand.

once all of the pictures and all that we're over with, we went inside with his hand still in mine and my keys and phone in my other hand. "I'm sorry about that. i can't help it. i think partly it was you. they just wanted to get a chance to give you a few up-downs." he kissed the top of my head as he kept walking on the side of me.

i laughed softly. "or maybe it's just that you're really popular across the state and you're really,really,really good looking. either one ya know?" I said as I turned into the nike store after going up in the elevator of the mall.
