Just Because I Met You

Chapter 10

You know in movies, when the girl goes shopping with her boyfriend or best guy friend and he holds all of shopping bags for her, while she walks excitedly into all of her favorite stores? Yeah? That's how it was now!

I'm totally lying.

It was reversed. Jared played the girl, and I remorselessly played the guy. I volunteered to hold his bags, and now the bags were holding me. So far, we have went to Urban Outfitters, Tilly's, Pac Sun, Abercrombie & Fitch (Which I should add, he could definitely model them), and Finish Line. He has managed to get a really good amount of clothes and shoes with still $189.67 left, to be exact. I'm so glad that Jared is finally warming up to the fact that I'm buying him whatever he wants, although its time he's helped me carry some of these. I huffed in agony to get Jared to look at me and see me struggling. Then, he asks if I need help and I would say Why yes, thank you and hand him some of the bags. Sadly, my plan failed because he just continued to look through a pair of dark washed jeans. I roll my eyes at his oblivious nature, and sigh utterly loud and hard making Jared face me with a small smile. Yes!

"Do you-"

I cut him off in anticipation, "Yes! Yes! I do!"

He raises his eyebrows, "Wait, you do?"

I nod quickly and he looks amused. "Okay, I guess I'll get them."

I sigh in relief, closing my eyes, and hold the bags out at him ready for him to take a few.

After a moment of realizing that the items in my hands have not gotten any less lighter. I open my eyes and see Jared at the cashier, pulling a twenty dollar bill out of my wallet- I let him hold on to my wallet since it had all the money, I might as well let him pay- , I cringe at the slight pain in my arms after holding them up for so long. I reluctantly drop them to my side, keeping a tight grip on the bags in the process. I march over to Jared, "So you just leave without getting any bags?" I ask. He glances at me before accepting the change and putting it in the wallet, "What?"

"You ask me if I needed help with the bags, and I obviously say yes then you just leave to go pay for your jeans." I ramble.

He squints his eyes, "I asked you if you think I would look good in the jeans and you said yes! Yes! I do!" He smirks grabbing the bag off the counter, thanking the woman with a bless of a good day, "Thanks for the compliment, by the way." Then he walked around me. I turn on my heel and catch up with him.

"I thought you were asking me if I need help with the bags!" I yelp. He looks unamused before speaking, "Oh."

I scowl at the side of his jawline, which I should also add is perfecto.
Okay, what's up with me gushing over him today? Is it because he's actually being tolerable and likeable? Probably.

When Jared feels my gaze, "Well do you need my help?"

"Please."

"All you had to do was ask sweetheart." He grabbed all the bags from my hands, leaving me with only my purse. "I just wanted you take a couple." I said.
