After I was picking out my clothes, I saw Liam standing by the cashier waiting for me. He seemed to be having a conversation with the woman. I strolled the cart to him. "Sorry, I took long," I said. "I was indecisive."

"No, it's alright," he said looking at the cart. "Is this everything you need before we head over to Forever 21?" I nodded.

As the cashier scan each of the tag, I noticed that Liam kept glancing at me. And at some moments, I stared at him for quite some time.

Liam carried the bags of clothing after I had fought him for carrying it instead. We roamed across the other side of the mall and reached Forever 21. Dinah, Normani, and I love to shop at this store the most because they just suit our style more than any other.

Once we entered the store, I ran to the shoe aisle. There was so many different shoes and brands. They all look glamorous. I wish I could buy them all, but I knew that I had to make a decision.

After having some time to think, I grabbed these three-inch pair of boots and tried them on. They were easy to slip into. I zipped the zipper on the side and tried to take some steps with it.

I felt a presence in front and remembered that he was here. I totally forgot about him for a minute. I looked at Liam who was staring at my boots and then at me. He nodded with pleasure. "Nice," He said.

"I like these," I told him.

"Great, just put them in the cart," he said, turning back to the cart. I took them off and placed them in the cart. I put back on my shoes.

"Where are we going now?" I asked, making his face change.

"We just got here," he responded after a moment. "Is there anything else you want to check out? Anywhere else you want to check out?"

I shrugged. I knew what I want to check out, but he already paid a lot already from JCPenny. "Well, I do want to explore the dresses and shirts, but I don't want to waste your time and money."

He pointed a finger at me. "I told you that I am willing to pay anything that you are interested in. I am not going back on my words."

I let out a giving up sigh and nodded. He smiled and the two of us walked to the clothing section. My eyes immediately was drawn to many different pieces of clothing. I didn't want to look greedy, so I just kept my scream to myself.

I touched a light pink blouse and my finger traces the flower design. I have an exact one like this in my luggage before I lost it. It was wonderful feeling to feel once more.

From a distant, I began to hear some whispers about me. I shook my head, trying not to listen, but their voices roamed in my head. I tried to block their voices, but all I could hear was 'Why is she with him? She has no chance...' I sigh and turned around. I saw these two woman who were around my age, and they were looking at Liam and me oddly. They were talking among themselves.

I felt Liam's hand on shoulder and so I turned to him. He seemed to have noticed the whispering too. He looked at and told me, his voice trembling, "Um, Allyson, can you please hurry up? We need to get going."

I raised an eyebrow. He just pleaded me to stay and now he wants to leave. It must be what those two girls were whispering about. They send me death glares, gesturing their hands into the air. However, they were sending Liam some sweet faces. I looked at Liam and asked, "Do you know those two?"

Liam shook his head. "No, I don't. This is the very first time that I've seen them." He then smiled as if he was guilty of something.

I turned back to the blouse and looked at it before I looked at another fabric. I brushed what just happened in the last few seconds off and turned to Liam. "Where do you want to go afterwards?"
