Buttons And Lace .

It can't be him...

I woke up to find that it was 9 am . I had been tossing and turning around in bed all night and slept at around three am in the morning.

I was not much of a morning person but when I used to play football ,I usually woke up at 5:30 or 6:00 am .
But now it had changed and I was being my usual lazy self.

I went to the bathroom , brushed my teeth ,did my morning chores and slipped into a white crop top and blue  jeans .
I went to the kitchen and found  Chloe sleeping on the sofa .

My goodness  she never listens to me .

I woke her up her hair was a mess .

" My neck hurts "

" Why are you sleeping on the couch, couldn't you knock on the bedroom door ,I would have opened?"

" You were sleeping, darling I thought not to disturb you, anyways leave this we ought to go to shopping today "

" Hey not today , I am not in the mood to shop ... Please let's do it some other day "
Chloe can be very persistent when she wants to be. I just hope it isn't today.

I didn't want to go anywhere, especially after yesterday's thing .
I was literally afraid of even stepping out of the house .

Chloe's facial expression changed , she was sad . She always wanted to enjoy and explore , but I usually kept things to myself ,basically an introvert .

I decided to give in.

" Okay fine.. today we go, not an issue but I would not roam from store to store,rack to rack , You will select my dresses" .

This was a good way of escaping from all the dress selection business.

"Yup , okay I would love to do that, let's get ready and go... " She shouted making me bang my ears hard with my hands.

We got ready and walked a little distance as Forever 21 was close to our place ,just a street apart .
We went inside and I sat on a chair not wanting to roam around.
Chloe was selecting my dresses , I insisted on normal jeans and tees but she didn't agree

"You always buy those boring clothes , let's get you something different this time "

I just hope ' by different' she doesn't make me look like a stripper.
She roamed around and meanwhile I saw a black frock , it was elegant and covered  below my knee.
I loved it , maybe for the first time I was seeing something apart from jeans and shirts.
I glanced at the price tag...
4000 dollars.....

Oh my gosh....

That's too much .. my entire shopping budget was around 300 dollars only.
Yeah ... That's little for shopping in NY but yes I cannot afford more than that for clothes ..

I looked at another frock beside that .It was red and beautiful. This time I checked the price tag first . It read 900 dollars .

No...

A  girl who stood beside me was checking out the red coloured one .. she might be of my age ..some  19 or 20

"You don't seem to belong here"
She looked at me from the corner of her eye and questioned.

" Yeah I am from Brooklyn,   but I moved to New York a year before "

" Yeah I guessed right .. Your clothes match nowhere with the posh locality.. Maybe you should try somewhere around brounswille ..they got some cheap stuff"

I was fuming .. how could she comment at me like that..

" Really... I don't give a shit about that cause I know I have a family to feed not a community to impress.. "

She was dumbstruck at my sudden reply .
"Move aside  I gotta go"

Before she came out of her shock I brushed her shoulders and moved .
Chloe came out with some one-pieces and skirts ..

I knew it,  this girl wouldn't leave me if I don't buy these..
Oh jeans ... You would have to wait until I get my scholarship money from the college.

" I got these for ya . Wanna try before you buy "

" Are they all my size ??" I asked indifferently.

" Yeah of course" Chloe stated as a matter of fact.

" Then I'll take them to the counter , it's already late we need to go home soon"
"Okay then"  she said and shrugged her shoulders.

We bought those, had dinner at a restaurant and   returned home by eight in the evening.
I opened the door and went I inside to change. After I changed and was going to the kitchen to get water .
I heard a bell .

Who the hell is it this time?

I opened the door and found no-one.

Ugh... I knew it , Adam has been bugging me from last week.

"Hey if this is your way of prank Adam. I will personally come and kick your ass , douche bag."
I shouted at the empty hallway.

I bent and saw a bouquet of flowers and a box .
I came inside,Chloe saw me .

" What's that?" She asked me in her usual hyperactive state.

"I don't know there was bell and someone left these at the door , Are these for you ?" I asked her eyeing the box.

Chloe took over the bouquet and I got the box .
There was my name on it .. So this was for me , but who would send me these, I knew no one who could.

I  opened box and before I could look inside I heard a squeal .

" Oh my gosh........You got these flowers !!?"
Chloe went from her normal hyperactive state to hyper- hyperactive state.

This is not gonna end well.

"Yeah .. what's wrong? " I asked her.

" They would cost millions " Chloe said in disbelief.

" Are you nuts , why would flowers cost that much !? What are they , from heaven? "  I asked in my sarcastic tone.

What kind of douche buys flowers for millions.

" These are Juliet roses. They are grown only in specific islands . These cost around millions ........!!!!"

Shocked would be quite low to describe my emotion right now ..
If the bouquet itself was so much...then
The box ....
I looked at the box....

Oh my gosh...
I am into some big trouble... Is this him ...

No. ....this can't be him

Or this shouldn't be him
