Celeb Date

Chapter 4- Threes's A Crowd

I roll my eyes, waiting for Ashley to stop her cackling from the back seat.

  “Say it again Luke!”

  Luke laughed, but I could tell even his patience was running thin.

  “I’m sure you can find that line in our last episode. Then you can listen to it all you want.”

   Ashley stopped laughing almost instantly.

  “So why one earth did you guys bring me along?”

  I bit my lip.

  “We… I thought you’d like to tag along.”

  I frowned, hoping that had sounded convincing.

  “Well I don’t want to intrude on your date. Just drop me off at the mall.”

  “This isn’t a date,” I said.

  “Technically it is a date. And I had planned on stopping at the mall anyway,” Luke said.

  I sent him a confused look.

  “Why?”

  Luke smiled.

  “What girl doesn’t like to shop? Especially with someone else’s credit card?”

  My head snapped to the side.

  “I can’t use your credit card! I don’t want you to spend money on me.”

  Luke pushed a button and the radio kicked on.

  “Too bad. You’re gonna want to use the money once you get there, and try something on, and you look totally cute, you’ll want the money then.”

  I sighed, knowing there was no way he would change his mind. Celebrities seemed stubborn like that.

  I looked out the window, and watched as we pulled into the plaza. I hadn’t been to the mall very often. When I did go, I was always there for something specific. Never to just try on clothes for fun.

  Luke opened the door for me, helping me out, linking his arm with mine.

  I knew that Ashley felt left out, but there was nothing I could do to help her.

  We walked to the entrance of the mall, stepping in through the revolving doors. I stared up at the upper level, but I knew that I would never shop there. Up there was all designer labels. I headed towards my favorite part of the mall, full of flannel shirts and comfy jeans.

  Luke tuggedd on my arm.

  “I want to buy you some really nice things. Don’t get me wrong, you pull that outfit off amazingly, but I really want you to try on some other kinds of stuff.”

  I smiled. Considering I was going to be using his credit card, I figured I could at least try on something nice.

  “Whatever you say chief.”

  He sent me a lopsided grin, and led me over to the teen girls section.

  It felt weird to have him walk through the girl’s section with me, especially considering all of the undergarments hanging off of racks.

  “Take this,” Luke says, handing me two shirts. They were pretty cute. I smiled, taking them from his hands. He headed over to a display of strapless dresses grabbing three of them. He brought five whole outfits to me, then sent me off to a dressing room.

  “I want to see each outfit. Come out in between each.”

  I nodded, laughing at his seriousness.
