I open Jay's door and lift him onto the ground. I close his door and lock the door. I hand Chanyeol the key when we walk in. The warm air hit me like a jacket of heat but it was about the same temperature of my house when we started walking.

I spot a navigational system of the whole mall on a screen.

"Where too?,"

"Um..follow me," I go through the escalator stairways and head to the back of the mall where the little kiddie stuff was located.

"Do you have your phone on you?"

"Yeah,"

"Go pick out a booster seat for Jay, diapers, Wet Wipes, and a surprise for him too, okay?"

"Yes, I got it," he says as he types it in on his notes.

"Okay,"

I go with Jay to pick out some clothes since I didn't pack his clothes or anything of his. I get into the store full of cute toddler clothes and go to the boys section. I asked if he liked it and he would either say yes or shake his head no. I walked through the clothes and accessories for what seemed to be forever and by the time I finished the last isle of shoes we had put at least 10 to 15 things in the cart.

"Mommy is tired Bub,"

"Oh-eh," Jay sounds out okay to my statement.

I reached a chair and sat down as I sorted through everything. It was exactly 18 thing in that whole pile but I got rid of 4 things.

"Now we are done," I say as I get up and push the cart again.

I got up to the cash register and place his clothes and shoes neatly on the conveyer belt. The elderly rang up my things for Jay and there was a discount for 40% off of shoes so I asked for the discount and the total amount was $168.34 dollars. I swipe my card to pay and get them bagged by a nice young lady. I carry the 4 bags as Jay holds my other hand. I text Chanyeol to see if he was done yet.

Me: Done?

Yeol: Yes and you?

Me: Yup meet me by the escalator in 5

I take my time to get to the stairs as I think about what I wanted to do in the mall. Since I had a spare 200 I planned on getting my nails a full set and get my toes too along with my eyebrows. I had a picture of what I wanted my nails to look like. Stiletto with a white and pink ombre color and my toes just white.

I saw Chanyeol make his way to the stairs before me and I quicken my slow steps to normal and I call out his name. He comes to me and takes the bags with his box and a bag.

"Chanyeol I want to get my nails done,"

"Girls...Okay I will put the bags in my car. Are you taking Jay?"

"I didn't plan on it but I can,"

"He's going with you and text me the name of the store when you get there?"

"Yes sir,"

"Thank you,"

I peck his lips when he takes my bags and walks off. I smile and go up the stairs. Jay ruffled his hair and keeps walking on the marble floor to the direction I was leading him to. I text channel the store name and enter.

"Hello, How are you?"

"Good,"

"Do you have a picture?"

"Yes Ma'am"

She calls for one of her co-workers and she comes jogging out of the back.

"Please handle this costumer,"

"Yes,"

"How may I help you?"

"She has a picture, Seokhwa"

"Oh, Right this way,"

Seokhwa leads me to a table and sits me down in the soft seat and Jay sits in the chair next to me.

"Picture?"

"Yes," I pull out my phone and look for the design on my Pinterest page for Nails. "These,"

"Okay...Can I take this?" She points to my phone and I nod.

In about 3 minutes she comes back with 2 different shades of pink and places them next to her. She takes off my old gel nails and cleans my natural nails and put on a new set of nails.

"Do you want anything else?"

"My toes and eyebrows but how much is that going to cost?"

"104,"

I nod and let her do my nails in silence. I look at my soon-to-be nails and the nails looks good by just the pale rose as the base color then she starts to add the magenta and purple.

"Da-da," Jay says and gets up from his seat.

I turn around Chanyeol waves at me and sits next to me while Jay is on his lap.

"Hey..nice color,"

"You are going to be here for a bit,"

"Why?

"Toes and eyebrows,"

"That's fine,"
