I haven't been in the TROX mall in so long. It's the best mall in Texas. The biggest one as well.

Of course Julian came over right when we sat down to eat breakfast and drove over to the mall with us. I made Luna ride with Julian and my parents. I forced Lauren to ride with me and Sierra. She didn't wanna go. Plus there was no way in hell I'm letting Lauren ride with Julian.

The building is so well-decorated on the outside. They have this huge wreath in the "o" of TROX and lights wrapped around the individual poles up by the entrance with lights above the doors as well. It got me so much in the spirit that I dropped a few dollars in the little donation basket where Santa rings the bell and says merry Christmas and happy holidays with the little stand beside him.

"Okay," my mother called as we stop in the TROX square; the middle lot of the mall. "What stores do y'all plan on going to?"

"I plan on stopping by a few, especially Pacsun and American Eagle." Lauren responds.

"I need to go to Adidas, MAC Cosmetics, Footlocker, Pink, other places." Sierra responds.

"Well I gotta go everywhere." Brandon says dryly and Malika rolls her eyes.

"Of course you do. You always do."

"Allyson, ." Gordon looks at me. "Do you know where you need to specifically go? Any store in particular?"

I hesitated while everyone looked at me. "I-I have to really go everywhere."

He chuckled and Sierra squealed in excitement. She took me by the hand, "Great! Then you can come with me!"

I didn't even get to say anything before she was taking me down the mall. The first store we approached being Pink.

As soon as we entered the store, we split up. I came in here originally for her which is why I wanted to come along but since she's on the other side, I can get what I came in here for, pay for it, and just wait on her.

I ended up buying two pair of leggings for her and three hoodies with a cute baseball cap. I know she loves her baseball caps. I even turned around and grabbed two more.

I couldn't see exactly what all she had in her hand when I saw her approach the check out but she had a lot from what I COULD see.

She ended up having nearly five bags in her hands while I only had three. We are no good when we shop together.

"My frickn total was $87.56." Sierra chuckled. "That place is expensive."

"I know right," I looked at my receipt. "Mine was $53.96."

"Wow."

We entered Bath&Body Works because it's my favorite store and I decided to get my parents some things from there. I can get crazy in this store so I had to be careful and limit myself.

I left as soon as possible or I'd be in there forever.

We went in numerous other stores and I had got everyone's gift already. I even decided to get Normani and Dinah something. I know I know, I really shouldn't have.

Sierra had so many bags she practically forced
herself to stop for the day. But she made it a note to come back tomorrow afternoon.

We found Lauren walking out of Journey's. I probably would've lost it if she walked out there with Julian because that's his favorite store and also because I've been watching him today and he's been staring at Lauren like I stare at Lauren when she undresses herself-and if you know what I mean, it's not okay.

"Hey guys." She said happily as she walked up to us. "Hey babylove." she said to me before leaning to peck my lips.

I blushed, "Hi baby."
