Taken

The plot

Today Jack decided to take me shopping. I knew all the things I wanted he wouldn't approve of so I snuck them off to the clerk when he wasn't looking.

I had finally come up with a good plan to get back at him, all I needed was the perfect dress.

"No,no.... Yes!" I said quite loudly when my eyes landed on the perfect dress, I quickly snatched it and dashed to the clerk setting it down on the counter top and winking at her before I dashed off again.

The dress was perfect. Short and a fiery red, it also showed off all my curves which was exactly what I wanted.

If Jack saw it, there was no way he'd buy it. I stopped back in front of the wrack and pretended to be looking through the other dresses.

And as if on que Jack stepped out from behind another wrack, looking slightly worried.

"Are you ok?" He asked rather cautiously.

"Yea I'm fine" I said not taking my eyes off the clothes in front of me.
"Are you about done?" He asked after a silent moment.
I nodded and we headed up to check out; The clerk kept stealing glances at me and for a moment I thought she would give me away.

I huffed a sigh of relief when she didn't, cautiously slipping her a twenty as we walked away. She smiled and I nodded in response

"So far so good" I thought to myself
We ended up stopping at a Chinese restaurant to get something to eat.
I haven't been to one of these in forever I said glancing around the restaurant, taking in the beautiful sculptures and paintings that were scattered amongst the wall.

A waitress brought us to a booth and we sat across from each other.

Jack stared at me for a moment before asking "why?"
"What?" I asked confused.
"Why haven't you been to a Chinese restaurant in forever?" He asked with a ghost of a smile on his lips.

"Oh, uh... I've been training and I have to keep my body in shape for all my meets. I can't afford to get fat off these" I said gesturing down to the plate in front of me.

A small growl erupted from him in response.

We ate mostly in silence after that saying a couple things here and there but not much.
After a good forty five minuets we finally went home.

As I lay in bed that night I couldn't help but smile at the wonderful idea Of what would come tomorrow.
