Lilah nods and asks, "What do you want to do?"
I think for a second and respond, "Let's go... Shopping. We need some new stuff for the appartment and we both need new clothes, so, why not?"
"You want to go shopping?"
I nod.
"Okay! Let's go! Appartment shopping or clothes shopping first?" She asks while she pulls me out to the car.
I immediately regret my decision of shopping, but we need new stools for the kitchen, new cups, new everything. "Appartment shopping."
"TJ Maxx?" She asks.
I shrug and nod in hopes that we will find some new household belongings.
We drive about 5 miles to the mall to go shopping at TJ Maxx, where she pulls me through the store, picking up random stuff that she says 'we need', when we really don't.
We get new stools, coffee cups, plates, and throw pillows for the couch. We throw all of it in the car, then re-enter the mall to go clothes shopping, my least favorite shopping.
"Let's go into Charlotte Russe!" She exclaims.
She takes my hand and pulls me into the store full of bright clothing, crop tops, and short skirts. She leads me over to dresses and asks me which ones I like best. I shrug at most of them, when she tells me she's just going to try on all of them, which is like 6 dresses.
She goes into the fitting rooms while I sit out in the waiting area on my phone.
I get a text as soon as I sit down and it's from Calum.
"Hey buddy, I wanted to know if you and Lilah wanted to go out to dinner with me, Abby, Michael and Kathryn? It's going to be, like a fancy restaurant."
I yell to Lilah and ask her if she wants to go.
"Yeah, I'd love to go! What do we wear though?" She asks.
"I don't know, let me text Cal back." I respond.
"Yeah, we'd love to. What do we wear?"
"Tell Lilah to wear a dress, and you should probably wear like, something dressy, maybe a pair of dress pants and a shirt."
"Okay, will do. What time and where?"
"6 PM and Olive Garden."
"Alright, see you then."
"Lilah?"
"Yeah?"
"Calum says to wear something dressy, possibly a dress for you." I say to her as she walks out in a stunning dress.
It's a light brown short dress with sparkles or whatever the hell it is around the waist. It's strapless and she looks absolutely gorgeous in it.
"Like this?" She questions.
"Um, yeah. Definitely. You look, stunning Lilah." I get up and walk closer to her.
"You really think so?" She blushes.
"I know so." I say and kiss her lips. She pulls away and heads back into the changing room to change back into her normal clothes.
I already have some dress clothes, so I don't have to worry about shopping for that.
He said hopefully...
"Ready to go?" Lilah says, while holding the dress we are about to purchase.
"Yeah, let's go pay for that so we can head over to Luke's." I say.
"Don't you have to go shopping too?"
"No, I have dress clothes at hime, remember?" She nods.
We pay for the dress and leave the store.
"It's almost 1, we better head over to Luke's." Lilah says while looking at her phone.
We go out to the car and drive over to Luke's to pick up Lilah's belongings.
"So where are we going for dinner?" She questions as we pull up in front of his house.
"We are going to Olive Garden, he said it was a fancier one than usual. i don't even know how that is possible, but whatever." We both shrug and walk up to the door.
I knock and Luke answers the door and smiles. "Hey guys, c'mon in."
"Thanks Luke." I say.
"Lilah, you know where everything is, knock yourself out." He smiles and Lilah walks off into his bedroom to retrieve her stuff.
I sit on the couch next to Luke and sigh. We are sitting in complete and utter silence until I break it after about 10 seconds.
"Thanks." I say.
"What?" He asks confused,
"I said thanks."
"For what?"
"Being the good boyfriend I wasn't. She needs someone to be there for her, and I wasn't. You were. Thank you for taking care of her."
"Anytime. She's like a sister to me now, because we're not dating anymore. I have to protect her."
I nod.
"And doing thing like that ever again, I might just have to kick your ass." He laughs.
I laugh in return and Lilah walks out with her suitcase, ready to go.
"Ready Lilah?" I ask her.
She nods and walks over to Luke and hugs him.
"Thank you Luke." She whispers.
"You know where to find me." He whispers back. She nods and heads back out to the car.
I wait until I see Lilah sitting in the car to hug Luke.
"hug back, loser. This is the only hug you'll get from me."
