Thirty-Three: Cosmo Hotel

"I'm not sure," Shelby said before getting into the car. "Do you want to go shopping or maybe eat? Are you hungry yet?"

The actress made her way to the other side of the car, entering on the driving side. "Is there any shopping mall here? We could eat and maybe go watch a movie? We only had breakfast..."

Shelby nodded. "A movie sounds nice. There's a mall just down the road." She said softly.

"Okay, my love." Audrey smiled before turning the car on and starting driving. "I..." a tear fell down again. "I wish I could protect you."

Shelby grabbed her lover's hand, lacing their fingers together and brought it up to gently kiss the back of it. "You do protect me. You have no idea. You've protected my heart from so much hurt."

Audrey smiled brightly to herself as she felt more tears coming. She caressed her lover's hand, taking a deep breath to calm herself down. "You have protected mine, too." She whispered softly.

"Don't cry, babydoll," Shelby said. "I love you so, so, so much." She said as she squeezed her lover's hand. "Take a left up here."

Audrey took another deep breath, squeezing her lover's hand back. "Okay." She said softly as she turned left, already seeing the mall. "I love you too... I'm just so lucky."

"I'm the lucky one," Shelby said. She pointed to the mall they were coming up to. "Turn right there."

"I am," Audrey said softly, starting to feel a bit better, turning to the right.

Shelby smiled softly. "Let's see a comedy, then we can swing by the food court, and maybe by Build-A-Bear for Lizzy?" she suggested.

"Build-A-Bear?" Audrey asked excitedly, starting to enter the mall's parking lot.

"Yes," Shelby chuckled. "Do you want to go there?"

"Yes!" Audrey said excitedly, starting to park. "I've never been there, and it always seemed so awesome!"

"Okay," Shelby chuckled again with a smile. "You can get whatever you want, but only one." She teased.

"Okay, baby!" Audrey smiled excitedly, running to open the door for her lover after she walked out of the car.

Shelby couldn't help but laugh at how cute her fiancé was. She got out of the car, took her lover's hand and guided her into the mall.

Audrey laced their fingers together as they walked, entering the mall and instantly seeing a lingerie store. "Kitten..." she said softly, biting her lip. "Remember how we were talking about tight clothes..."

Shelby bit her lip when she heard the nickname. She nodded softly. "Yes, I do." She answered.

"What if we... did some shopping today, to take things off of our minds... I mean, if you're okay with that." The actress added softly, knowing the day had been hard so far.

"That sounds great to me, baby. I can really use a distraction." Shelby said as she pulled her lover to the lingerie shop.

"Now?" Audrey gasped softly, biting her lip.

"Why not?" Shelby asked with a small smirk. "I'll let you pick out an outfit and I'll try it on for you."

"Are you really okay with that? I know what just happened was bad and I don't want you to get more upset," Audrey explained softly, walking into the store.

"Baby, I'm sure I'm okay with it. I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't. I want to distract myself, and this is a good way." Shelby said with a small smile.

"Okay," Audrey said softly, bending to the side and placing a kiss to her lover's lips. "Now let's go choose some clothes, kitten." She teased. "I choose yours, you choose mine."
