I stared up at Selever with a concerned face.

"I'm sorry what?" I asked, staring into his eyes. There was a mischievous glint in them and he smirked at me. "You heard me. Lets shoplift this. I'll help you." My face dropped. I was taught never to steal. I was raised well.

"I can just pay for it Selever." I said, sending him a sharp look. Selever rolled his eyes. "Come on it'll be fun." He said holding the basket. "I know you don't want to pay this. And I don't want to stand in line for you to reach into your wallet for pennies or whatever." I felt insulted.

"How poor do you think I am?" I asked clearly offended, Selever stuffed his phone into his pocket. "I don't know, you told me you broke your last bowl this morning. Wouldn't a normal person have perfectly good bowls?" He whispered. "I'll have you know if you don't stop talking I'll break your spine." I made a crushing motion with my hands but he only laughed, "I'd like to see you try, bitch."

"Now come on. Follow me unless you're to much of a pussy to do it." My blush stretched from ear to ear. I didnt know what compelled me to do what I did next but I found myself testing my limits."Give me the basket you bitch." Selever laughed ans handed it to me. "Your parents wouldn't approve of this. You know that right?" Selever just rolled his eyes but smiled; knowing I was in on shoplifting with him. "I don't give two shits on their fucking opinions. Now come on lets make a plan."

"Okay so exit's one and two are there and here." I whispered pointing to the opening doors and the back door. "You." I pointed to him and he seemed to understand. "Stack up blouses so when we run away none of my plates break." I pushed him a bit. "I'm going to spend my time choosing what tops I want. It makes me look less suspicious."

Selever smirked at me. "You just want an excuse to steal more stuff you want you sly little mynx." He whispered and laughed. He looked into my eyes and I couldn't help but follow suit. We would be found out before we even started. Selever sighed out a joyous breath against the wall. "Damn it (Y/n), if you look like that I'm going to have to pay for your plates." I held in tears from my laughing and leaned my head on his shoulder, gaining my composure. With a deep breath, I pulled back from the embarrassing position to look at him. "Okay; so what's our cover? Our signal and stuff when we get caught."

Selever had a drunken smile playing on his lips. He was laughing a bit to much but the color from his cheeks shown after not being able to breath from his laughing fit. None the less he stared at me stuffing his hands into his pockets feeling around.

"My sister gave me something she found in one of the pews last Sunday after morning mass. She said a kid dropped it so I wanted to keep it unless the family came back." He looked around and took my hand in his. I couldn't help but blush at the gesture.

"Oh don't be so modest. You did agree to this." He said. He felt around his pocket and took out a white ring. It was polished a pretty. Jade. I assumed it was. I took a look at the strange ring as he slid it onto my left ring finger.

"Today, we're married." He said. "Your problems will be mine today, sweetheart." The words echoed through my head; and I couldn't hold in my smile as I touched the ring, gently feeling the creamy white band. It was way to nice for a child to own; it must have been his mothers ring which made it even more precious.

"Oh Selever. I cant marry you. We just met, and I don't think I can wake up every morning to an insult about my ears or my clothing. And besides we're not even legal age." I stuck my tongue out at him. "But seriously how old are you?"
