Serendipity

Chapter 4, Bestfriends

"Just curious." he says and i sigh.

"Because its hard for me to afford things, i cant go buying a new wardrobe everytime something new is in style. Wearing his old clothes saves money, and some of it isnt that  bad. Like the flannels." i say and Hero is quiet for a good minute.

"Pick out atleast five items in the store and ill buy it for you." he says seriously.

I just stare at him.
Is he kidding?

"No." i say shaking my head.

"Yes." he says.

"No, absolutely not, I dont need you're sympathy and i sure as hell dont need your money." i say and he stands straight.

"You're so stubborn, just let me do something nice for you."

"No." i say shaking my head.

"Com'n then two items, just buy something that you want. Dont worry about the cost." he says and i shake my head.

"I will literally have Lulu pick out a bunch of shit in your size and ill buy it all." he says and I look at him.

Eye contact.
Its a crazy thing.
So simple yet so powerful.

"Ill pick two things thats it." i say.

"Three." he says and i give him a stern look.

"Sorry." he says and smile creeps on his face.

"You're a jerk." i say nudging him smiling.

"A handsome jerk." he says raising an eyebrow.
I roll my eyes playfully.

"You are not buying that as one of your items though, thats for sure." he says looking at the sweater i had picked out.

"Why not? i thought it was cute." i say and he furrows his eyebrows.

He skims through the other sweaters.

"What about this?" he asks and i look at the sweater half the girls in the school own.

"Uhhh... no." i say and he frowns.

"Why its got...clouds...and...look a butterfly." he says pointing and I laugh.

"I like this one more." i say pulling out a gray one with black line art on it.

"Yeah...thats cute." he says and i grab in my hands.

Hero helps me pick another shirt thats a little out of my comfort zone but cute.
Lulu runs up from the side and looks at the shirt.

"Cuteee." she says and i laugh.

I now realize the handful of clothing items in her arms.
"Jeez Lu, you know we still have to go to other stores." he says looking a the pile of clothes shes holding.

"Im very much aware of that, besides i still need to try it all on." She says and Heros eyes widen.

"I should have stayed home." he says and we both laugh.

We all walk over to the changing rooms and wait for a lady to unlock the doors for us.
Lulu goes in one of the rooms that are far on the left while im all the way on the right.
Hero waits mainly in the middle but more towards the right.

"Im not coming out for half of these cause i dont like all of them!" Lulu yells and hero yells back okay.

I try on the first sweater which isnt bad, its a little baggie but still fitting.
I walk out and do a little twirl for hero who smiles.

"not bad, eh?" i ask and he smiles looking me up and down.

"im trying not to be nice." he says and i roll my eyes playfully walking back into the little room.

I try on the tighter top that Hero and Lulu liked.

God, my boobs look bigger than usual.
Yeah, no, this is not what Im use to thats for sure.
Its a lavender shade color and a normal length, just tighter than my usual tops.

"I dont know if should come out for this one." i say and I hear Hero mumble.

"Im coming." he says and i open the changing door so that my head peeps out.

"It's definitely not what im use to." i say looking up at him and he rolls his eyes.

"Com'n show me." he says and i open the door.
Hero comes in the room with me and im staring at my reflection in the mirror.
Hero looks a me and then at the mirror and then at me again, with wide eyes.

"You look...different." he says and then clears his throat.

"Uh...yeah its okay." he says and i slouch.

"No, you look fine...its just uh...not what the type of stuff im used to seeing you in."

"You mean its not a flannel?" i ask laughing and he smiles.

"Im just going to return them both." i say and Hero goes to grab it out of my hand.

"Nope, Im buying both." he says grabbing it, but i dont let go.

"Let go off it Hero, i dont need you buying me stuff." i say and we're playing tuggle war with the sweater.

"No, we already agreed i was buying you two things at least." he says and finally pulls it out my grip.
Now im starting to laugh as he puts it above his head.

I jump up trying to reach it.
"Thats not fair, im short. Give it back!" i yell and we're both laughing.

"Let me buy it for you." he says and i keep trying to get it as he holds the shirt above his head and moves it around.

"No." i say and I somehow grab the shirt.

Right when its finally out of his grip, he grabs both of my wrists.
Not tightly that hes hurting me but just enough so that im not moving.
But im really not trying to move.
Im really just shocked by his actions.

My back hits the wall of the changing room and hes looking down at me.

The mood has changed drastically.
And his face is inches away from mine.

My breathing has quicked and our eyes are locked.
Eye contact has always been hard for me to keep but right now, Im not looking away.

His face is close to mine and his eyes keep looking back from my lips to my eyes.

"Let me buy the shirts for you." he whispers and my heart is beating so fast.

Right when i think his lips are about to touch mine someone knocks on the door.

"Yo, you guys done in there, i tried on half my clothes and got tired." Lulu says and Hero pulls away so fast.

"Yeah." Hero says opening the door.

Lulu's standing there with her foot tapping.

"So...anything you guys want to tell me about?" she asks and Hero rolls his eyes grabbing the shirt from me and walking past her.

"I swear we didn't do anything." i say putting my hands up and she laughs.

"I know you didnt, but if you did, i wouldnt care." she says.

"I just need to change and I'll be right out." I say.
