"Tell me how the holiday has been?" Shaun asked me from the far end of the store.

"It has been great." I rummaged the rack in search of a comfortable outfit. Shaun had called to hang out after lunch with Philip.

" did you find anything?"

" No, Shaun can we leave?" I cried out.
I must say I hate shopping. It gives a headache. Shaun smirked sheepishly and continued with her ransack. " When you asked to meet, I didn't envision lingerie and outfit shopping." with raised furrow at her she continued to ignore me.

" What about this one?" She raised a burgundy bodycon dress for me to see.

" too tight and revealing " I replied

" common" she ran towards me. " This outfit is perfect for a date night. Trust me you will need it very soon." She nudged me to take the dress.

" I doubt it"I gave it back to her then went to the rack opposite me.

" No way, check it out" she kept following me like a cute puppy. " my intuition doesn't fail me." She continued.

" don't you have consultations today?" I tried to deviate from the topic at hand.

" Nope, now wear the outfit lets see if it's your size" nudged me towards the store's fitting room. Once I was inside, I contemplated on wearing the dress. "I will get more dresses for you " Shaun yelled.

Sometimes, I want to strangle her for pushing me to do tasks I wouldn't usually do. What can I say, we have been together all through our college days. We are like humans with a symbiotic attachment. I smiled at the notion, Shaun mustn't hear me describe our relationships like an amoeba or enzymes.

The knock on the door startled me. " shit" I muffled

" how are you doing in there? Everything okay?" She asked.

" Why don't you take a breather with your questions. I am fine. " I said.

" Nice. I brought more" she threw three outfits to my side. The first was a plain blue shirt. The second, a strapless purple bodycon dress and the third was drop-dead sexy lingerie. The type of lingeries you probably see at online stores like fashionnova. Shaun! I screamed inwardly, what is she trying to do. Whatever she's thinking I am not up to the task.

" I know purple is your favourite colour and it seems to match your body type." I heard her say from the other end.

" what did you buy for yourself?" I asked while I put on the purple outfit.
"Me? I am fine. I have some dresses I haven't even worn for months. Let's say my wardrobe doesn't need a makeover. But you my dear, you need it. Especially now that you have Philip around" I heard her chuckle.

" We are not an item, Shaun." I defended

" Not Yet! You will soon be " she laughed as I opened the fitting room door, she continued with her psychic observation.

" We are not dating. He is someone I need at the moment that's all." I kept my cool at her.

" months ago, you were searching for him, and now that he is right under your nose, you 're in denial. What do you make of that?" She offered.

" I didn't think we would meet so soon. I was only going to stalk him."
Shaun's mouth was in awe as she heard me speak. The "stalk" must have thrown her off because the Shaun I know is never speechless.
" Am I weird?" I asked on our way to the cash section.
