章 12: Get in girls, we're going shopping

Emily was anxious the entire rest of the week about her weekend outing with Chloe. They decided that they were going to meet up early in the morning to go shopping, then have popcorn and watch a movie at Emily's house afterwords.

"8:00 A.M." Emily read her watch. "I think I still have a few minutes." She wandered over to the balcony in front of Bath and Body Works. Less than a minute later, she felt a hand on slide up her arm. She looked over and saw Chloe's perfectly manicured nails laying on her right shoulder. She turned her head left, and there was Chloe. She was more gorgeous than ever.

"Hey you." Chloe said with a smile. She was wearing black Adidas sweatpants that had three white stripes on the outside of each leg. All of which ended at a seam just under her knee. Her shirt was a long sleeved, pastel, tie dyed crop top. It had a logo of a black peace sign on the upper left side of the shirt. It revealed her flawless bikini tan, and her pierced belly button. Her hair was in a pony tail, with all of her hair curled as per usual.

"H-hey." Emily replied. She could tell that she was blushing. Her cheeks felt warm since the minute she heard Chloe's voice address her. "Uh, where to? Your pick, I insist."

"How about Victoria's Secret?"Chloe pointed down from the balcony and towards the entrance of Victoria's Secret.

"Yes, Please." Emily said. They took the escalator down to the lower floor, and walked over to the store.

"What do you think?" Emily held a black bra covered in an entire color palate of sequins up to her chest. "Totally me right *chuckle*."

"Haha, this is more you're style." Chloe spun around towards Emily and revealed a sweatshirt that had the six main colors of the rainbow each directly beside each other in a straight line across the chest of a black hoodie.

"*Gasp* You know me so well *chuckle*. Wanna try them on?" They walked over to the changing rooms, Chloe took the bra with her, and Emily, the sweatshirt. When Emily opened the door of her stall, she saw Chloe in front of the large three sided mirror.

"Yay, nay? What do you think?" She kept turning to see different angels of herself in the bra, adjusting it ever so slightly with every movement.

"It looks great on you." Emily said. "I'm just gonna- I'm gonna try this on again. I want to know that it fits right."

"Okay, I'll go change back in a minute."

Emily felt her cheeks burning on her face. She peered into the mirror and saw that her cheeks were as red as a tomato.

"What the hell?" She whispered to herself. "Calm down, it's nothing. I'm sure I'm just sick." She thought.

She heard Chloe unlatch her stall door, and unlatched her own.

"Hey, you ready? I think I'm going to buy this." She looked down at the colorful sequin bra on the hanger in her hand, then back up at Emily. She was standing with her right hand on her neck, and her head tilted to the right. The sweatshirt Chloe picked out was in her other hand.

"Are you okay? I don't need to therapize you do I?" Chloe said with a chuckle.

"Oh, yeah I'm fine. I think I'm going to get this. Nice pick." She took her arm off of her neck and smiled at Chloe.

Next they went to Bath and Body Works, Spencer's, Hollister, and finally, the food court. By the time they had stopped to eat, their arms were tired from carrying all of their new clothes and accessories.
