"Clay you promised" I shake him awake
"I'm up. I'm up, what's happening?"
"You promised you'd come shopping"
"I don't think I promised such things" he hooks an arm around my waist and swings me to lie next to him "give me ten minutes" he shuts his eyes again. Probably an hour later he gains consciousness
"What time is it?" His voice is groggy, deep, awake. I grab my phone
"11:45" he rubs one of his eyes
"Let's go" he moans all the way to the shower, all the time he's getting dressed and all the way to the shopping center

"Can we get food first?"
"Is little baby still tired" I add one of those squeaky voices you only talk to children and animals with
"Duh, I've not eaten all day"
"You woke up an hour ago"
"I've not eaten since last night" he wines
"And who's fault is that, I told you half ten"
"That's so early"
"Shush now. Let's eat then you buy everything I want" I add a teasing smirk
"I like it when you act like this"
"Like what"
"Like you trust me, and a little bit of a brat"
"Don't be so stupid, of course I trust you. I even like you a little" I've never been one for PDA but I lean in and kissed him.

Clay insists we get burritos, I opt for for nachos. We scatter the shops for hours until we land upon Victoria secret
"Don't worry, I won't be too long, wait out here" he follows me into the shop, hands looking strained from the amount of bags.
"Hello miss, is they're anything I can help you with today?" A store assistant asks me, she then looks at clay and back at me then back at clay "clay" she nods at him, the eyes she makes at him causes my stomach to turn. I turn to look at him and all the blood has drained from his face
"Carly, how've you been?"
"Good, thanks yeah"
"Carly?" It suddenly dawn on me "ohhh carly!" A wave of jealousy, hatred and annoyance rush over me "we'll be fine on by ourself, we can get a different assistant if needed" I don't want to be near this woman and more importantly I don't want clay near her. She looks dumbfounded by my statement, I flick my hair and walk away.
"Are you okay?" I grip his arm
"Yeah, I just didn't realise she worked here" he looks so confused

He drops our bags behind the counter. We stand in front of the panties,
"Do I go for beige or pink"
"What the hell get both! I'll be the only one seeing then" he throws his hands in the air, I place an array of panties into the tiny basket.
"What's up?" I ask noticing his attention focused on something else, he was fixated on the one piece lingerie, it was black with sparkly straps.
"Hmmm? Oh, nothing."
"What are looking at" I walk towards the one piece. "This?" I take it into my hands "what's got you thinking so hard?" He walks towards me, dipping down to my ear
"I'm thinking about you in this, me ripping it off you and fucking the absolute life out of you" his words conjure all the blood to my face
"We're in public" I shove him slightly
"No ones in here" I look around and see the steaming hot gaze of his ex girlfriend still lingers on us. Just because I can, and not because I'm jealous of her and his previous relationship, I meet his lips which were once by my ear, we engage in a long steamy kiss in lingerie shop, we act like a bunch of teenagers, well even though I turn 20 in a little over a month.

I try on some pajamas in the dressing room, Clay sits on the round stool thing out side. I freeze when I hear her voice
"Clay baby" he doesn't answer "just talk to me, I called you so many times"
"I know, I got them"
"Why didn't you call me back?"
"Why do you think? You cheated on me"
"So you bring a random girl here. I told you how sorry I am. She meant nothing"
"Oh really? I don't care either way? Screw whoever you want" I push my ear against the door. They were talking is a shouting whisper.
"Just like you? You came in with that girl. You don't even know her. You know me" he doesn't respond "Clay, I miss you, I can tell you miss me too" he scoffs
"Yeah yeah, definitely. Go back to work, I'm spending time with my girlfriend"
She scoffs "your girlfriend, she won't stay with you, did you see her walking in? We sell underwear longer then her skirt, you're her waypoint, she'll have a million and one things better coming, better then you" he mood switched so rapidly, she went from all lovey dovey "I miss you" to psycho bitch "you're nothing".
"Clay, will you come here and help me, my arms stuck" I chime in trying to get him out of his situation
"Men aren't supposed to be in the changing room miss?" Carly scoffs
"I won't be two seconds, will you go get me more underwear?"
"Yeah, no worries babe" we didn't use pet names but in the moment I'm glad he called me 'babe'. I strip quickly before redressing in my own clothes. Reuniting outside by the briefs.
"Let's pay then get the fuck out." He mumbles ushering me to the cashier.

"Are you okay? It got pretty intense pretty quick" his jaw clenches "sorry we won't talk about it anymore"
"Can we just leave it" I remain quiet for the rest of the journey, he throws me some glances which I see from the corner of my eye.
