{195} Birthday Shopping

A/N: So, I'm choosing not to be worried about the Net Neutrality stuff anymore right now, and I'm gonna just continue writing and go about my business as usual lol. 

This part is the same one I wrote that long-ass a/n on, but I just decided to delete that and write the next chapter here cause I don't want the parts to get off numbered! I believe the comments people left telling me their favorite parts from this story will still be there as well!

Clifton was a rich man. A successful doctor and surgeon, making $500,000+ a year, living in a beautiful six bedroom home (With a nice yard, swimming pool and all that) with his youngest son in the wealthiest part of town. He wasn't married and because it was only he and Mark, he didn't have an entire family to constantly spend money on. So, he and Mark were able to spend money on materialistic things, and they always had what they wanted. And being that it was almost Mark's birthday, of course he was gonna spoil him and buy him everything he'd asked for. He always did.

Money just wasn't an issue, and hadn't been for years. 

The summer air was hot, but not too hot. The sky was nice and clear without a single cloud, and the green leaves on the trees really complimented the season. It was the perfect day to be out and about, and Clifton had decided to finally go shopping for Mark's birthday gifts, bringing Jack along to see if they could both knock out their birthday shopping at once. 

The mall was decently busy, as usual. People bustling around in groups, or individually minding their business as they entered different shops and stopped at kiosks and things.

"Do I get to pick the underwear we get for him?" Jack asked quietly as he walked alongside the blonde man into the Calvin Klein store.

Clifton shrugged, "Yeah, I guess you'd know what underwear he likes more than I would."

They immediately wandered over to the men's section and Jack picked up about 7 pairs of underwear in colors and styles he knew for sure Mark would like... And what he would like to see on him as well. He held them up for Clifton and smirked slightly.

"Are you sure?"

Jack nodded. 

Clifton rolled his eyes playfully and sighed, heading to checkout. He and Mark already had similar looking underwear, and Jack was just setting them up for potentially getting them mixed up, but, thank god they never did laundry together.

Together, they'd gone to a few stores in the mall Mark typically shopped at. PacSun, American Eagle, Zumiez, Foot Locker, etc.

"Can we stop inside Sephora for a minute?" 

Without waiting for a reply, Jack grabbed Clifton's free hand and practically dragged him into the store. 

As of lately, Sephora was probably Jack's favorite store. His love and curiosity for makeup seemed to grow every time he went into any beauty store, really. He glanced over all the displays. Eyeshadows, liquid lipsticks, Foundations and concealers in all skin tones, brushes, everything you could ever want and need.

Jack liked dramatic makeup looks, too, but on himself he preferred more natural makeup. He just loved wearing eyelashes, nude and peach (But sometimes golds) eyeshadows that were insanely glittery, lip glosses and tints, and of all he was absolutely in love with highlighter. Just something to bring out his natural features. 

"Hey, Jack!" the manager, a woman probably in her late thirties with bleached blonde hair and heavy makeup greeted him as she walked over.

"Sadie!"
