Oh Brother -book one- *under revision*

Shopping

when the car pulled into the mall parking lot we sat and waited for Damian chose in song to finish before got out. it was something called "Mr. Brightside by The Killers and to be honest, it wasn't that bad. I've heard worse music than what the boys listen to. Tim had asked what I wanted to listen to but I told him I don't really know many songs, which is true. when we finally exited the car dick tried to take my hand but I quickly snatched it away.

"what are you doing?" I asked holding my hand to myself.

"I just don't want you to get lost, it's a big place you've never been before." dick explained with a frown.

"we all know how the manor went last night," Damian added rolling his eyes.

"can you ever mind your own business?" I ask, glaring at him.

"if you choose to talk aloud in a public place expect to be heard." he shrugged with his arms crossed. I rolled my eyes but took dicks hand, making him smile.

"the girls said to meet them at the entrance," Tim said typing on his phone.

"ok, let's go." dick said. when we entered the mall I inched closer to dick. there were more people here than I realized...

"Oh my god! Look at you! you are literally the cutest thing in the world!" I turned to see a redhead and a blond standing over me, dick had moved to give them room. thanks, dick... the redhead stood up picking me up. ok, no, no, no, nope. not happening!

"let me go please!" I struggled against her but she was too strong.

"but you're so cute! you know, its about time Bruce got a female in that house. maybe it wound reak of testosterone " the read head grind scratching me under the chin like I was some cat.

"Babs, I would do that-" dick tried to warn but it was too late, it was getting hard for me to breath so I did the first thing that came to mind, I pulled her hair until she dropped me.

"ow! what the heck!" she exclaimed in pain. I backed up as far as I could trying to get my breath under control. that was his girlfriend you just hurt, he's so going to hate you now...

"she's not big on being picked up. she tried to tell you." dick shrugged. see, he's not mad. what if she hates you now though? he'd choose her over you in a heartbeat. but it's not a competition! but what if it was? you were never good contests. what are you talking about? what if dick came over and slapped you for hurting his girlfriend? you'd deserve it.

"Pax, its ok. barbara didn't mean to be all up in your face. are you ok?" dicks voice clicked me out of my thoughts. my eyes darted from his eyes at her, trying to calm my breathing. "breath, your ok." he rubbed my back.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to frack you out like that. it's just that when I was told there was finally going to be another girl I got a little overexcited." Barbra apologized.

"same here." the blond, I assume is Steph nodded. I eyed them, unsure but then nodded letting them know I forgive them, I mean how were they to know how id react? they still shouldn't have picked you up without permission, it was rude to just assume it was ok. true but still. I cant change it now.

"so what are we shopping for boys?" Barbra asked her hands on her hips.

"Pax needs clothes and stuff for her room." dick explained taking her hand. "that's why I thought to call you."

"oh yeah, that's why." Jason rolled his eyes and dick punched him.

"ooh! I lets get her some of those cute outfits where the paints match the shirt!" Steph suggested.
