The Goddess Of Emotions

6. Shopping

Atheria's POV:

I woke up to my phone buzzing with notifications.

Jeez, who's being so annoying first thing on a Saturday morning?

I am not a morning person.

I groaned as I sat up on my bed.

I checked my phone and realised it was Lily.

Atheria:

After I ended the conversation with Lily, I went to my closet to pick out an outfit for the day.

I decided on a blush pink shirt and a white skirt.

I then put on some makeup and curled my hair.

I checked the time and realised that I was going to be late.

"Shit." I cursed under my breath and hurried out of my house.

Well, at least I'm fashionably late...

"Guess who finally arrived!"

Jaxon teased as I reached the mall.

I rolled my eyes and replied, "Sorry... I forgot the time."

"Anyway since we're all here, LET'S GO!"

Lily squealed and dragged me into the mall with her, while Jaxon and Hayden followed behind.

Those poor guys probably got dragged by Lily instead of "agreeing" to come.

We first went to Urban Outfitters and found many cute pieces.

After passing through three stores, I've already had five bags worth of clothes.

I mean I just moved here and I need more clothes to fill up my closet.

Yes, that's a good reason alright.

The boys were helping Lily take some bags too.

She was a hell lot worse than me.

She had so many bags, that the boys were whining to go home.

"HOLY SHIT ATHERIA! YOU NEED TO GET THIS DRESS! IT SUITS YOU PERFECTLY!"

Lily practically shouted and some passerby even flinched.

She was pointing to a stunning white dress in a boutique store.

The dress had a deep V-Line and was embellished with iridescent gems.

"Woah it's so pretty... But I don't have a reason to buy it." I said.

"Well then just try it for fun! You can do a little twirl in front of us!" Lily encouraged.

I decided to try the dress and when I looked at myself in the mirror, I gasped.

Wow, this dress fit me better than I thought.

It hugged all of my curves and I've never looked so dressed up.

It's so pretty, but sadly I can't buy it right now.

"ATHERIA FASTER COME OUT! The boys and I are waiting!" Lily shouted outside my changing room.

I felt nervous to show it to them though, especially Hayden.

I wasn't sure how they would think of it, and also this dress was definitely revealing.

After a moment of convincing myself that it was no big deal, I stepped out of my changing room.

I was met with silence and three pairs of eyes burning holes into my dress.

"Damn girl! YOU LOOK SO GOOD!"

Lily broke the silence and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Jaxon and Hayden gave me a thumbs up with an approving smile.

"DO A TWIRL!" Lily asked.

I did a twirl, but I accidentally stepped on the dress and tripped.

I shrieked and held out both hands, waiting for the impact of the fall.

But there was none, instead, I felt something warm.

I looked up to see Hayden looking at me with a hint of amusement.

I looked back down and realised that I was holding onto his torso.

As if I touched something hot, I jumped up and retracted my arms immediately.

"SHIT THAT WAS SO CLUMSY OF ME! I'M SO SORRY!"

I blushed in embarrassment while Lily and Jaxon were laughing their asses off.

Hayden chuckled and patted my head.

"It's fine Sunshine. You might want to change out of that dress before you tear it though."

My eyes widened at his comment and I scurried back into my changing room.

Damn you, dress...

That was so embarrassing!

Wait, did he call me Sunshine just now?

I started blushing again and I mentally slapped myself.

Jeez, get a grip!
