After an hour of driving and listening to the God awful Christmas songs that were playing, we arrived at the mall. Lila and I jumped out the car and breathed in the fresh air. They were so many new and different smells.

I could smell the humans, people walking past and the mall. I could smell the different plants that were covered by a thin layer of snow. I could smell delicious foods from the stalls and restaurants surrounding the place.

It was amazing.

"I don't need to remind you how to act like a human, right?" Darcy said as she got out the car. Lila came around the side of the car and we both shook our heads at her.

We all headed towards the entrance to the mall and I found myself walking alongside Kendall and Piper. They both shot me wide grins.

Cass was supposed to be coming, but she pulled out last minute as she apparently had issues with humans. I assumed they'd been trouble makers back in her old pack or previously in her life.

"You know, they've got a Victoria Secret in here. You could get Liam a gift," Kendall nudged my arm. Lila and Piper both giggled as my face got hot with embarrassment.

"I bet he'd love that since he's always all over you," Lila rolled her eyes. I crossed my arms awkwardly and shrugged at them.

"We'll see. We agreed on no gifts, remember?" I replied. Lila snorted at me and that was the reassurance that we would be going into the lingerie store and buying something. She was stubborn and firm when she wanted something.

And apparently she wanted me to surprise her brother with some sort of sexy lingerie piece.

The first store that we went into was an overpriced thrift store. Darcy claimed that I should stock up on some jeans and sweatpants for the winter, as they were apparently a girl's best friend for winter.

"I love this place. They always have awesome stuff," Piper said as she shifted through the jeans on the rack. I nodded slowly as I did the same. They did in fact have some nice jeans.

"Lucas just got his ass handed to him by uncle Christian. It was awesome. You would've loved it," Liam's voice popped into my head. I grinned and shook my head.

"Lucas just got an ass beating by Christian," I announced to the group of females that I was with. Lila giggled and Piper rolled her eyes.

"Gotta love Lucas," she said. I nodded in agreement and I looked back down at the jeans.

After looking around, we headed to the front of the store and bought the things that we had picked out. Then, we moved on to the next store. As we came up to another store, I caught a glance of the Victoria Secret store down the mall. I turned away from it quickly before any of the others noticed. I hoped that we weren't going that way.

"Grab some workout pants and stuff in here. Go crazy," Hannah nudged me into the store. I nodded at her as Lila grabbed my arm and tugged me over to a rack on the other side of the store.

"So what did you and Liam talk about last night?" She asked me. We hadn't had any time to talk about what Liam and I had spoken about. I wanted to talk to her badly.

"He told me about him and Veronica. About how he really liked her before he cut her off," I told her. Lila nodded at me. I felt uneasy talking about Liam and Veronica being an item.

"I hope you do know that he only liked her because she flaunted herself to him constantly," Lila said after she rolled her eyes. I nodded at her, still feeling uneasy. Had Liam and Veronica ever done anything more than kiss?
