Malls

Grace

I was not the girly type. Ever. But one thing I'd admit to. The only thing I'd ever admit to liking that is remotely girly is shopping. So when  I was offered by Rory's girlfriend, Vanessa to accompany her in going to the mall I just had to accept. And here I was paying for my items from the hundredth clothing shop today. I already had five bags. Sue me.

"Thank you." I smiled at the lady as she handed me my shopping bag with the clothes I had bought from this shop. I looked at Vanessa.

"Maybe we should get food now?" I asked.

"Yeah I'll text Rory to meet us at the food court." She said.

Rory was here but had declined to shop with us 'boring girls'- his words not mine. So he had gone off with Derek in the other direction from Vanessa and I. And could you believe Ocean came with us but begged me to go with the guys so she could spend time with Derek? Yip, she's a trader.

My mind ran on the events of last night. Cal and I stayed there until 3am talking about any and every thing. It was nice and I really enjoyed it to be honest. I wanted us to have nights like that all the time.

Vanessa and I made our way to the mall food court and I was greeted with the wonderful smell of foods from different stations. Oh it smells so good.

"Lets do pizza." I said.

"Okay sure." Vanessa agreed. "Go save us a seat and I'll make the order. Pepperoni right?"

They made their was towards me but Rory detoured when he noticed Vanessa at the Dominoes counter. He was so in love with her. They'd been together for three years now and still going completely strong.

"Hello, Mrs. Hood." Derek and Ocean said to me in union.

I glared at them in distaste.

What horrible people. They totally planned that.

"Mr and Mrs.Lawley." I countered. Lawley was Derek's last name. Derek smiled proudly and Ocean blushed profusely. They sat beside each other.

"So I've gathered that something happened between the two of you." I raised an eyebrow and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Wow Agent Grace solved the case." Derek did jazz hands as he mocked amazement.

Derek had the tendency to piss me off...... A lot.

Ocean looked up at Derek.

"You want to tell her?" She said softly.

Where did my fireball Ocean go? She was being gentle. Okay so that's a first.

Derek shrugged looking at me with nonchalance. "Me and Ocean are together now." He smiled at her, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.

I gaped not because I was surprised or anything only because just this morning Ocean was questioning her existence just because Derek didn't read her text message. But now they were together. What happened?

"Since when?"
"Since thirty minutes ago when Derek kissed me while Rory went in the changing room." Ocean stated.

What the actual-
