TRIPLETS {A THUG LOVE STORY}

Chapter 7

I set my gaze on him, watching him from the corner of my eye as we continued to drive through the town. I don't know why I was so interested in knowing what was in that package, but I was. It made no sense that his 'friend' lived in a straight dirty home and he just sits in the dark scaring people.

My thought quickly came to halt as we pulled up to the mall. The prodigious building intimidated me. Shopping has only been one of my favorite things. It was a shame I had to leave my other clothes at my father's house.

"Are you coming?" he asked. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at him who was already out the car.

"Oh" was all I said as I got out.

I followed him into and around the mall. Step by step, I remained on his trail. He turned back a few times to look at me and I looked back. Weirdo.

"Where are we going?" I asked

"Anywhere you want" he smiled. I really adored his smile.

I nearly shrieked at his offer but contained it. A shopping spree? For me? Stay with him just kept getting and better. I now led the way to wherever I desired. just saying that me me tingle with excitement.

I stepped inside Forever 21 and marched straight to the racks. I watched as he stared at me in amusement as I took clothes after clothes after clothes into the dressing rooms.

All of them ended up fitting me perfectly. And that yellow sundress complemented my curves. As I stated at my reflection, I smiled, I was happy with this me.

I left the store about an hour later with four large bags in hand, not my hand, his. Being the gentlemen he was, he insisted on carrying everything. I felt guilty knowing that I was just blowing this guy's money. I barely knew him.

"Are you sure this is okay?" I asked for the fifth time.

He gave me that adorable smile and nodded, "yea, it cool"

I was insure whether or not to keep spending money, but I did it anyway. By the time the clock struck 4:00 I had already been thought about seven stores and the guilt still followed after every purchase, but I shrugged it off.

The strangers arms was nearly broken off as the dozens of bags he carried, but no matter how many times I offered, he refused to let me hold even one. Fine by me.

I noticed a hair and nail salon up ahead and rushed towards it. I could see him Struggle to catch up. All of the station we're occupied so I sat at the bench near the display window. Stranger followed. He set the bags onto the floor and sigh in relief, leaning his back against the window.

"This is inhuman" he joked

"You insisted it" I told him.

"I know" he sigh, "that was my first mistake"

I saw the red marks on his light skin, due to the bags. I reached over and ran my nails over them, I could feel his eyes on me as I did.

"I'm sorry" I apologized as my fingers went up and down his arms.

He chuckled "it okay"

I looked up and got caught in his hazel eyes. Never really noticed them before. They were enough to make any girl melt. Even me. Damn!

I quickly pulled away and turned the other direction. I had just realized that I was feeling on someone who I didn't even know.

I slightly turned my back towards him and his eyes were still on me. I don't know why. It was pretty uncomfortable.

"Hey, turn around" he softly spoke.

I turned, but in my mind I wished he didn't speak so kindly and caring, so that I wouldnt think of this as nothing more than a friendly gesture.

" yes"

" whats your name?" he asked.

"Marianna"

I held my breath, dont know why, it just felt right at the moment.

"And you?" I asked

"Tyler"

I nodded then turned back to me. He sat all the way on the other end and kept staring down at his phone. He picked it up, put it in his pockets, took it out, looked at it angrily, then put it back down. I watched him do that for quite a while and he seemed to be getting pissed by the second.

He finally let out a loud groan and swiftly rose.

"I gotta go" he said

"But--"before I could finish he left the salon, leaving me dumbfounded. how could he just leave me without any warning. I debated on running after him. My heart thudded inside my chest. Is it possible, he might've abandoned me?

"Next!!" The hairdresser called out, obviously to me, I was the only was left.

"I-im uh" I stuttered cause I didn't know whether to leave or stay or just run. But if I did who would carry all these precious clothes.

"Come miss, hurry up"

"But he-"

"I dont have all day, you know" she sighed. I finally stood up and walked to her. I sat down and she began working on my hair, but I'll but she'll be real dissapointed when she doesn't get paid.
