Our Love Goes On and On

Going Twice

"Yeah, I was thinking some sandals, some shorts, and a cute tank top."

Since we were out of town I had to stop by the local mall and try to find a few things that I didn't have with me.

I had been on the phone with Ada the entire time since she was a female and had good taste.

"Maybe a big hat too. It's really hot outside."

"It's later at night, though. Plus he said we're doing a bonfire thing, so I think a hat might not fit the occasion."

"Okay, go with what we said earlier then."

I squealed and ran over to a manequin, "I just found the cutest shorts ever!"

"Send me picture!"

"Okay, I'll call you right back."

I hung up the phone and quickly took a picture, sending it to her with a message in all caps. I couldn't stop smiling. I was so excited about today.

I heard a sigh and soon I saw Roman rolling his eyes as he looked over at me.

"You okay, Ro?"

"I couldn't be any better."

"Why are you giving me attitude then?"

"I don't have an attitude."

"You clearly have an attitude."

He rolled his eyes again, "Keep picking out those stupid clothes for your big date tonight, I'll be in the car."

"I want your help, though."

"I'm not going to help you pick out clothes to go wear for another man, Chase. Does that even sound right in your head?"

He shook his head and walked towards the exit where we had came in. I sighed and grabbed my size in the shorts I liked and went to the cash register.

I bought the shorts and went back to the car, deciding that I'd just wear a top I had brought with me.

Roman drove us back to the hotel and wouldn't talk to me even if I spoke to him first.

"What are you going to do tonight while I'm gone?" I asked.

It didn't seem like he was going to answer, but he looked over at me as we stood in the elevator. "Watch TV."

"You should order room service, I heard it was good."

"I'm not hungry."

The doors opened and we walked to our room. It was about four in the afternoon and Corey had text me earlier telling me to be ready by six.

It didn't take a lot for me to get ready, but for some reason I wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

I took an extra long shower, I put on some mascara, and I even put on a bright pink lip gloss.

The shirt I had decided on was a strapless, bright blue shirt with the cute shorts I had found at the mall. I had some slip on sandals, which were perfect for the beach, and when I looked into the mirror, I thought I looked great.

By the time I was done, Corey was knocking on our hotel room door.

Perfect timing.

"Hey, Corey!"

"Hey, you look amazing!" he said, "Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let me just get my purse."

"No need, anything we have to pay for is on me."

"Are you sure? You don't have to do that for me."
