Part of the Plan

Love Pink

Zander was already deep into the store comparing several styles of bras. Instead of staying with the group, I walked towards him, feeling the other girls' eyes on my back.

"What's your bra size," he asked when I reached his side,"Wait, no, let me guess, 34C or D?"

"Perv!" I shouted, emphasizing my disgust.

"Hey, they belong to me so I don't know what you're talking about."

"They do NOT belong to you. They belong to ME!" I announced.

"Well they may belong to you now, but they will soon belong to me. I'm buying you these. I think like deep purples and blues look good on your skin. Maybe even a green lace one like this." He paused to hold another one up for me.

I furrow my eyebrows at his ease in choosing undergarments of all things to buy for me. "You're not buying me anything." I try to argue, but I see the look on his face and I know he won't budge. Out of the corner of my eye I see Eileen totally ignoring Mason and Melanie being dragged by Sam into the fitting room. Lenox seems like the only one actually managing the guy that's pursuing her. Ethan keeps trying to 'pick her up' but is failing miserably and she keeps picking things up and handing them to him for him to carry.

So rather than arguing with Zander any more than I already have, I decided to shop for some things that I would like to have because I know that he will buy them for me.

I had picked up some no show underwear and a cute black bra and undie set by the time Zander came looking for me with his arms full of expensive lingerie.

"Ready to go? I'm hungry." He looked down at me and without waiting for my response he took the sets from my arms and headed to the cash register where the cashier put all the items into shiny pink striped bags and handed them to him. Eyeing Lenox, Isaw her heading out of the store too. Eileen was on her phone waiting outside and Melanie was no where to be seen.

"We lost Sam, Melanie, Erika and Ricardo." Eileen informed me when I had finally left store.

"I just a text from Erika and Melanie," Lenox said looking down at her phone as it beeped,"They said not to worry about them, they'll get me on their own and they're with the boys."

"Ok well, I'm taking Angel to the food court because I'm hungry."

"I didn't agree to that." I protested.

"I didn't ask." He replied back just as quickly.

"I'm going to Papaya with Eileen then!"Lenox smiled back. It was her favorite store."We can all meet afterwards."

"I guess we're going with the two ladies then." Mason spoke for both himself and Ethan.

"Feel free to tag along!" Lenox said with heavy sarcasm.

"I do!" retorted Mason.

Those two are sooo into each other. I felt a tug at my waist and looked over my shoulder to see Zander smirking and he jerked his head in the direction of the food court to signal for me to follow.

As we walked, he slung his right arm over my shoulders and carried all my bags in his left hand. If he thinks being a gentleman is going to get me to date him, he is so wrong.

Before I could react, he pulled me into a photobooth right next to the food court tables and onto his lap. I huffed in defeat after trying to unwind his arms from my waist.

He inserted a few bills without saying a word to be and proceeded to put the bags down at the bottom of the booth to select a picture strip background and start the timer.

"I don't want to do this!" I whined.

"Shut up and just smile." He chuckled.

We smiled for the first. I glared for the second. I stuck my tongue out for the third as I managed to put my hand over his face, but the last caught me off guard. i had no time to prepare myself for how quickly he grabbed my chin and kissed me as the last timer went off to capture the last picture.

Even after the pictures had come out for us to take, he didn't let up. Ever so gently he massaged my lips and tugged at the bottom one with his teeth. Over time I gave up fighting his efforts and let him explore the inside of my mouth.

Just as I thought I was going to suffocate from his intoxicating lips, he pulled away and I hopped off his lap.

Grabbing the bags and taking one of the picture strips, I headed into Papaya and ran into get Lenox and Eileen.

I needed to leave before I said anything that made that player think for one second that I was into him.

"What's wrong Angel?" Lenox asked as she caught sight of me running up to her panting.

"We need to go." I told her quickly.

"I'll just pay for this and grab Eileen and then we can go."

Silently, I waited by her side. We left Ethan and Mason to find Zander, exiting the mall with small smiles on our faces and bags hanging from our arms.

Maybe these boys could become close friends or more. Yet, unknowningkly, we were signing out souls away to the devil. Those three boys would give us a run for our money..and our lives.
