After we arrived at our hotel, we rested a bit and thought about our plans for today and tomorrow. "So, what we doing today mom?" I ask her as I roll on the bed.
"Well, today, we'll be having dinner at a mall where we'll shop for groceries, and if there's a good movie, we'll watch it." This has been our routine every time we'd vacation out of our hometown. We'd go to the hotel first to rest and settle down, then eat out, and do groceries, and if we see a movie we like that's showing, we buy tickets. My mom is my sister, my cousin, my best friend, and the person I cherish the most. I am lucky to have such a loving mom, and I love her so much.
"Alrightie! How about tomorrow?" I ask with a childish voice.
"Well, first thing in the morning after having breakfast, we'll go to the hospital for our check-ups. It might take the whole day, so we have to be there early in the morning."
"Around what time?"
"Maybe we'll leave for seven o'clock at best?"
"Okie dokie! What time should I set the alarm?"
"Does 5:30 sound alright?"
"Y---eah? I think so..."
We then fix ourselves up a bit before leaving the hotel, and leave together to bond as we always do.

"*sigh* It's like mom's been in there forever..." I exhale out of boredom from waiting for my mom to finish up on her check-ups. I finished this morning, but it's already 3:28 in the afternoon now, because the doctors wanted to talk to mom about our check-ups.
I went to check on something real quick on facebook before opening my wattpad to read stories.
Seriously, the news feed I have are filled with pictures that my classmates or family members post. It's either boredom selfies, vain selfies, or fun groupies.
But after scrolling and scrolling, something actually caught my eye.
"Can't wait to have a guy's day out with you guys! :D"
It was posted by Chris and he tagged Thomas and his little brother, Manuel.
Well, this'll be fun. Let me read the comments on where they'll have their outing...
Ugh... I sound like a stalker...
Friend 1: Where will you guys hang-out?
Chris: Beverly Center
Friend 2: Can I hang-out with you guys?
Friend 3: Hey bro! Include me too! ^^
Chris: Sorry, but we already planned this as a male family outing...
Friend 3: Boo!!! -.-
Friend 4: Have fun you guys! ;)
I don't wanna be a party pooper, but I do want to surprise him. So, I'm sorry if I ruin your outing Chris...

"So? Where are we going today?" mom asks me.
"Beverly Center... Can we?"
"Well that sounded straight. You usually let me decide where to go. Why'd you decide yourself?" she asked me, as she was really shocked of my determination, since I would usually answer a 'You decide' once mom asks where we're going.
"Well..." I fidgeted, "Chris will be there..."
My mom sighed and then laughed at me, "I thought it was something else!"
"Well... I just wanted to surprise him..." I blushed.
"How did you even figure out he would be there?"
"Facebook."
"You asked him?"
"No! That would ruin the surprise! He usually posts anything he feels like on facebook." I explained.
"While you haven't posted anything for a long time now." she laughed.
"Well, I've been busy..." I stuck my tongue out and my mom then tickled me in response while I try to defend myself by holding her hands.
"Cut it out mom! I don't wanna be tickled!" I say, still defending myself.
"Well, that's just asking for more~!"
"Nooooo!!!!!" I whine as I threw her arms away and climbed on and off of the bed, crossing the other side, to be far from my mom's clutches. We just laugh at the scenario.
My mom then teases me, "I wonder if you'll push me away once you have a boyfriend?"
I then rush to her side and give her a bear hug, "Don't say that mom!" I pout, "You'll always be number one in my heart!"
"Really?"
"Yes~!" she then gave me a gentle smile as she then started to pet my head like she always does.
"Shall we go then?"
"Okies~!"
Arriving at the place, me and my mom were in awe, since we've never been here before. We've usually roamed around the parks here and the hospital we always go to for check-ups, but we've only ever been to one mall here. And that mall was the closest to our hotel.
Inside, I then texted Chris, "Hey nii-chan!"
Minutes later, he replied, "Hey nee-chan! Sorry, I couldn't reply immediately, I'm in a mall."
"Cool! Which mall?"
"Beverly Center, it's a great mall! I should bring you here if you were to ever come here in the future! :)"
"Awe... I'm touched... Where would you bring me first?"
"I dunno? Maybe just aimlessly walking around, and would probably go in to random boutiques?"
"Sounds fun! Really! Which part of the mall are you in now?"
He took a while to answer there, maybe it's like that text confused him.
"Why would you want to know?"
"What? I'm just asking... You might be in a Victoria Secret's boutique for all I know!"
"Hey! I'm not a perv!"
"Believe me, you are... ^_^"
"Haha! Okay, maybe a little?"
"Ahem! A little?"
"What?!"
I was giggling the entire time. "Well, what are you guys texting about?" My mom tries to sneak a peek at my phone.
"Well, I'm trying to find out where Chris is actually at right now." I snort.
"Did you tell him you're here?"
"Course not! That would ruin the surprise!"
"Again with the surprises?" she laughs at me.
"What? I love surprises~!"
"I know you do..."
I then focus back on my phone and continue to text with Chris as me and my mom start roaming around the second level of the mall.
This mall is so huge! I could get lost in here, luckily I have my phone with me in case me and my mom get separated from each other. I might become a lost child, and that would be a problem. So, I stopped texting and paid attention to where I was going.
After a couple of minutes of looking around and randomly going into boutiques, my mom poked me on the shoulder, which made me look at her. She pointed at something in front of us, so I faced into that direction and finally saw what I was looking for.
I've finally found you...
Chris!
