Arriving at the mall, Izzy eyes where gleaming. " So how long has it been since you've been shopping" i asked she shook her head. " I i honestly cant remember. " seeing her mood change to gloomy i decided the subject was best left alone. 

 " lets go in sephora first!" i pulled her along toward the black and white striped columns to load up on our makeup supply, i needed mascara an the bare minerals base anyway. walking into the store a clerk in black low cut shirt and tight black pants with a red apron greeted us. she was a little older but had a pretty face, heart shaped with honey colored hair that was in a long bob style with highlighted brown eyes. 

she reminded me of Mara but i dismissed the idea " Yes can we get makeovers please?" " Of course" she called another associate over with darker shades of black and brown hair smaller waisted and rounded face paired with light blue eyes. " what kind of look are we going for ladies?" i smiled at Izzy, she had a gleam in her eyes almost like a kid in a candy shop, " lets do a natural look but accentuate our eyes since thats our favorite parts" nodding the ladies began to paint us like artists, taking a few seconds in between to admire there work then continue in there masterpiece.

Once they finished they turned us to the mirrors, "Wow" izzy exclaimed while admiring herself      "perfect" i exclaimed. thanking the ladies i gave them a generous tip and had them box up the items used on us. Izzy was still sitting in her chair staring at herself when i came back over with the bags.

 " Izzy you look beautiful" she blushed " thank you Sarah, its been so long since ive been able to see my reflection, i almost didnt realize it was me" i nodded but felt a pinch at my heart at her words. this poor girl, what kind of life has she lived and how long has it been. i brushed the thoughts away dragging her to another store, four hours later and a ton of shopping bags "lets get lunch im starved, whats your favorite food?" she shrugged at me but seemed to be thinking. 

" well i haven't had sushi in a really long time" she gave a reluctant smile as if she thought i would say no " yay, i love sushi" i jumped and squealed making her do the same. we followed the signs to the River Bay Sushi House on the fourth floor, the hostess immediately greeted us and we had a table with a view of the surrounding buildings. it wasn't my kind of view but Izzy seemed to enjoy it, looking over the menu " get anything you like my dark haired delight" Izzy slapped the table in her fit of laughter startling the couple a few feet away causing them to stare.  

I laughed with her and glared the couple, " You didnt mean to rhyme that did you?" she asked though her laughter. " actually no, but i am pretty slick huh?" we laughed again shaking our heads. We placed our orders for the Tiger rolls with shrimp, crab meat and avocado and carried on a pleasant conversation about our favorite things while we waited. i found out we are basically opposites. While im a pink and teal girl she a maroon and gray, i love outdoors and woods she likes buildings and the city. After our food arrived we settled into a peaceful silence enjoying our meal.

Another 2 hours later and we where shopped out, we both called it quits after the second time i had to tell a guy off for staring at our ass as we walked by and the inappropriate comments that they mentioned to each other where taking a tole on my self control. Izzy couldn't hear the way they were insinuating that we would be a great lay or how hot it would be to have she and i together in a gang bag.

 That was the last straw and i threatened to use the guys skin for a rug and his bones for a snack for my wolves, Izzy became insistent we leave before i actually did. the ride home was quiet except for the radio playing, when Senorita by Shawn and Camilla came on i turned it up to sing along. gosh i love that song, it makes me want a foreign guy to fawn over me, and whisk me away to uncharted territory. i apparently voiced my opinion out loud because Izzy kept laughing and picking at me about my obsessions. turning the music down " Sarah do you have a boyfriend?" i shook my head no at her question.
