"Ohh lookey a sale" Kate squealed and I groaned as she pulled me towards another clothes shop.
Upon entering the shop she completely ditched me and ran off, vanishing in between the racks of clothes leaving me to stand there and curse my luck.
FML.
The entire day starting from 10 in the morning till now I.e. 4:30 in the afternoon she has done nothing except for dragging me from one shop to another.
Needless to say my car's backseat, parcel tray and the boot is overflowing with shopping and home decor bags.
Most of them belonging to Kate.
I looked around aimlessly suddenly realising that I was standing inside Forever 21, that too in the dress aisle.
I sighed and was about to pull out my phone when a young girl approached me.
"Can I help you ma'am?" She asked flashing me a smile which I returned awkwardly.
"Uh no um yes actually I mean I dunno" I said incoherently frowning at my own discomfort. "You can show me a few party wears maybe"
She laughed in a decorous manner before gesturing me to follow her.
I trailed behind her looking at all the expensive pretty dresses.
"Here you are" she said stopping abrubtly infront of a mannequin.
The dress was really nice and glittery but something that Kate might wear , or rather something which is not of mine type.
I hesitantly touched the soft satin material before pursing up my lips.
Nope, no freaking way am wasting my hard earned money in this.
"Ohh well something of a lighter shade maybe?" I asked and she nodded bedore walking off to get another piece of clothing.
I stood there looking around in my efforts to spot Kate but unfortunately she was no where to be seen.
"This one ma'am? " she asked holding up a turquoise dress with straps around the shoulder, it was cute like really cute but had a major snag.
It was to short, hardly providing any sort of covereing for my tiny ass.
"Is this the only size? "
"I'm afraid, yes" she replied apologetically.
Just my luck.
"Uhh forget about party wear show me just normal or office dresses" I said handing her the dress.
"Uhmm I think I have the perfect dress for you" she said suddenly clapping her hands.
"Yeah?" I asked uninterested as I once again trailed after her.
"Thus one is the perfect office plus casual wear" she said triumphantly holding up the dress.
Ah. Now this is something that Dr Victoria Johnson likes to wear.
It was a simple dress, creme white in colour with black lace touches and it was perfect for me.
"I think this one is the one" I replied smiling as the girl who's name tag read Jessica handed me the dress.
I eagerly walked upto a nearby mirror and placed it infront of my chest trying to see how it looked on me when I saw another reflection on the mirror standing behind me.
"You look beautiful Dr Johnson" a voice extremely familiar and firm made me do a full body turn, and the clumsy idiot that I am dropped the dress.
"Oops" I said as I scrambled to pick up the dress at the same time as Mr Malik did, banging our heads in the process.
"Ow" he said slightly rubbing his jaw where my head had manged to bump him
"Sorry I'm so awfully sorry" I stated wincing slightly at my awkwardness.
"Its ok, no issues" he said with a slight smile.
"So how have you been Mr Malik? " I asked trying to fill in the awkward silence that had consumed us.
"Good, though I've been thinking off contacting you" he said rubbing his jaw.
"Oh, uhm having nightmares again?" I asked.
"Not really but definitely worse than that" he replied suddenly in a very serious tone.
"Uh ohk" I sais suddenly feeling more awkward than ever.
"Umm" he said slowly licking his upper lip and hesitating. "I was wondering if you could just come to my place instead of me visiting your chamber" he said.
Instinctively I furrowed my brows but nodded my head agreeing to his request.
"T-Thanks" he said and we both stood there awkwardly looking around here and there not knowing what to say but at the same time feeling the need to continue tge conversation.
"Ma'am? " a third voice broke our silence and we both jumped but relaxed once I realised it was Jessie waiting for me to buy the dress.
"Oh uh I'm so sorry, I I'll give you my card, just a second" I mumbled as I hunted around for my card.
"Here"
My head snapped up and I saw Zayn handing his credit card to the mesmerized looking girl.
Guess he has an enormous effect on the female species.
"Hey, take that back" I said as I took out my card.
"Nah its on me" he said as he signed the bill the girl had handed him with a completely smitten smile.
"What-"
"Shh" he said putting a finger to his lips gesturing me to shut up and I frowned before closing my mouth.
"So uh, what are you doing here?" I asked after the girl had handed me my packet.
"Hm? Oh me, I came with Harry to help him choose a gift for his sister's birthday" he said shrugging casually.
"Oh-kay"
"Yeah, what about you?"
"Nothing, just that mine crazy roomie dragged me to shop with her" I said shrugging back.
"I see."
Silence fel again and we stood their awkwardly.
"I've been seeing things" he blurted finally making me turn my full attention towards him.
"Yeah?" I asked in mine usual professional manner.
"Yeah" he swallowed "mi-mine wife's de-dead body I mean."
"What?" I asked a bit surprised. This was completely unusual, especially after all those strong medications he wasn't supposed to be hallucinating or anything for that matter.
"Do you take drugs?" I asked and immediately regretted asking such an ridiculous question but he didn't seem to mind.
"No" he said smirking.
"Is that what you wanted to talk about?" I asked and he nodded silently. "Great"
"Not really, can you fix and appointment tomorrow at say like 7:30 in the evening? " he asked and I considered my schedule.
"Yep, I think I can" I said and he forced out a smile.
"Thanks"
