Chapter 34 - Shopping Trip

Zelena.

The drive felt pretty quick, we even played a bit of Eye-Spy on the way, Smith won but Gunner argued that spying an ant was a cheat move. We eventually pulled into the underground parking lot and got out the car. I lifted my arms and stretched out. Cole and Smith climbed out of the door behind me, I smiled at Cole, but he just nodded with a forced closed mouth grin and turned away. Had I done something to make him angry, we haven't really hung out or talked much so I'm not sure. I walked behind him to the back of the car where Nat and Gunner were. Gunner took my hand and we started walking to the entrance.

"So, me and Zelena are going to hit up some shops and then we'll meet you guys later in the food court" said Nat jumping around in front of us,

"Yeah, no way" grumbled Gunner.

"Come on seriously, I let you come with us, you don't have to follow us around the shopping center" Nat whined.

"I'm staying with Zee" he said firmly.

"Ugh, fine" growled Nat.

"Well I'm not going to the girly shops" Smith chuckled nudging Cole,

"You coming with me, or following them?" he asked.

Cole looked at Gunner, and then me, and back at Smith again.

"I'm with you man" Cole said throwing his arm over Smith's shoulder.

We got through the doors and I was shocked. This place was massive. There were three levels, all lined with shops with an open middle section cordoned off by a railing. Looking up you could see each floor, all the way to the large glass roof. It was bright and smelled like perfume. It was about ten thirty in the morning and already there were so many people strolling around. I started to get butterflies and needed to pee from excitement.

"I'm so excited, but I gotta pee" I said turning to Nat.

Gunner nodded at Cole and Smith and they walked off, I assume they were flashing.

"Okay this way". Nat grabbed my hand and started skipping down the walkway, dragging me along with her with Gunner on our tail. We ducked into the bathroom leaving Gunner by the corridor entrance.

"Where are we going first?" I asked Nat who was busy checking herself out in the full-length mirror.

"Leave it to me girlfriend, I got our path all figured out" she answered,

"As long as I get to buy some body wash and fancy shampoo"

"Of course, and some makeup of your own" she chuckled.

I flushed the toilet and washed my hands and we headed back down the corridor. Gunner was still waiting for us, but he was now surrounded by three girls giggling and smiling. Walking slowly towards them I focused my hearing.

"My friend thinks you're cute" a short blond one wearing a tiny skirt giggled,

"Uh huh" Gunner mumbled,

"So can I get your number to give to her?"

She was playing with her hair and pushing her chest out. At that moment, listening to her desperate little voice, I could feel the heat burning through my body. That's my man you stupid skank, get away from him. I went to run but Nat grabbed my arm stopping me, we stopped walking and waited in the corridor listening.

"I don't think so" Gunner grunted.

"Aw why not, don't you think she's cute?"

"I'm taken" he said firmly.

She stepped forward closer to him. A hot flash swept through me, one more inch and I will end that little tart. If she touches him, I will rip her perfectly manicured fingers from her hand.

"I bet I could make you feel a little less taken" she whispered suggestively.

Nope that was it. I walked right up to Gunner, pushing between him and the girl, purposefully shoving her back with my hip. I grabbed his face and pulled him down to me, kissing him passionately, making sure that the little slut could see my tongue swirling with his.

"What the fuck" I heard the skank say to her friends. I moved Gunner's hand to my ass, and he squeezed it hard, I kept kissing him, using my tongue generously. After a minute I let him go and turned to face the three girls, pulling his hands around my body. They had taken a few steps back and had filthy jealous looks on their faces. I gave them a wink and they turned and left. Gunner kissed my neck and whispered,

"Was someone a little jealous?"

"Jealous no. But you're mine, I was just making sure she knew it".

"Okay that was like super gross and also super fucking awesome" Nat laughed,

"Did you see their faces? Zee you are a savage"

"Don't call her Zee, only I can call her that" snapped Gunner.

"Wait, seriously?" she questioned,

"Yes seriously" Gunner responded in a mocking tone.

"Ugh whatever, come on Lena, we have things to buy". Nat sarcastically smiled at Gunner and grabbed my hand pulling me out of his arms. He growled softly but didn't respond.

The first shop we went to was covered in pink, yellow and orange colored clothes. I'm not really keen on bright colors, I usually stick to my blacks and purples and blues. I was browsing through a rack of tiny little dresses when I pulled out a maroon dress with long sleeves and pockets like a hoodie, it was a tight dress, but I kind of like it. I took it to the change room and put it on. Examining myself in the mirror it didn't look too bad, it was definitely tighter than anything else I have worn before, but my butt looked amazing.

I came out of the little room where Nat was waiting for me,

"You aren't going to show me?" she scoffed,

"Nope, you can see later. But I love it" I smiled.

Nat clapped her hands and squealed.

"Yay! Your first purchase".

She grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the register plopping the dress on the counter. On a stand on the counter was some silver jewelry, I turned the little rack around and spotted a tiny little crescent moon. How cute I thought picking it up and studying it closer.

"Ooo I like that" Nat said from beside me.

She snatched it from my hand and put it with my dress. The cashier put it through and I handed her Gunners card. With that first shopping bag in my hand the excitement started to grow.

"What's next?" I asked Nat with a giant smile.

"I think someone has the shopping gene" she giggled skipping out of the store.

The next few stores were much more my style. I found some jeans and some tops, and even got a pair of denim short shorts, thanks to Nat's persistence. Gunner stayed close, always watching us, but keeping his distance and letting Nat and me do our thing. Next door to the beauty shop was a store with all kinds of sexy underwear. I bet if I wore something like that, there is no way Gunner would be able to hold back any longer. I'd have to beat him off with a stick. We walked into the beauty shop and Gunner waited by the entrance, just inside the door. I pulled Nat to the back where I didn't think he couldn't hear us,

"I want to buy some sexy underwear from the shop next door" I whispered in her ear,

"Eww, babe I do not want to know that" she frowned.

"No, I need you to distract Gunner so it can be a surprise"

"Ugh, I don't want to know about my brothers sex life. But fine whatever, I can probably get you like five minutes, ten tops" she grunted and stomped over to where Gunner was standing. As she pulled him towards the smelly soaps, I crouched down low and snuck out the door, and dashed into the lingerie store next door. Okay, wow. There is so much to choose from, and I am way out of my comfort zone in here. A shop assistant spotted me right away and sauntered over.

"You look a little overwhelmed, love" she smiled sweetly at me,

"I've only got a few minutes to pick something before my boyfriend finds out" I tell her. She smiles and looks around at the racks,

"Okay over here quickly" she whispered. She hurries to a rack in the back, waving me along with her. Once there she pulls out a bright red lacy bra with lots of straps and buckles. It was way kinkier than I was expecting.

"Uh, I think that is a little out of my league" I say holding one of the buckles.

"Got ya, what about something more like this".

She put the kinky red set back and holds out a white one-piece lacy bodysuit. It's cute but too angelic. I want him to think I'm hot, not sweet.

"Hm, it's too gentle"

"Alright, I know just the one".

She goes to a rack on the other side and holds out a black lacy bra with matching panties and waist belt thing. It was pretty sexy, I could see myself in it for sure.

"Ooo I like this" I said taking it from her with a wide smile.

"What is this thing?" I ask holding the belt,

"It's called a garter belt, and it holds up these" she said holding up a pair of black thigh stockings. A smile spread across my face, I can just imagine his reaction.

"I love it"

"I thought you might" the woman said turning back to the rack.

"Now, you look like a 30b" she said over her shoulder,

"So you'll want this one".

She pulls out my size and hands it to me, then waves me over to the counter. She must be pretty good at her job to get my size right, just by looking at me. So, she must know what she's doing, I think I can trust her judgment on choice of lingerie.

"$89.95 in total" she smiles.

Holy fucking shit, underwear is expensive. I pull out Gunner's card and hand it to her. It'll be worth it I suppose. She puts the items in the bag and hands it to me,

"Have fun" she giggles.

I smiled and rush back to the beauty shop, shoving the little bag inside one of the other shopping bags as I went. I grab a red bottle of body wash from the first shelf I saw, me and took it over to Nat and Gunner.

"I don't want to smell the fucking soap, you can figure it out yourself" Gunner grunted angrily. Nat saw me coming and smiled, Gunner turned quickly to look at me with furrowed brows,

"Where were you?" he snapped.

"I was over there smelling all the body wash, I picked this one, what do you think?" I lied holding up the bottle to Gunner's nose.

"Hm strawberry, simple yet delicious" he smiled.

Phew that was lucky. Nat had already found some shampoo for me, apricot and almond oil, smells pretty good.

"Okay, let's go to Sephora" Nat said cheerfully.

Gunner walked to the door and Nat and I went to pay for our things.

"Did you find something?" she whispered,

"Sure did" I giggled quietly.

"Here you go ladies" the woman at the registered said handing over our bags.

We walked to the front of the shop where Gunner was waiting, I leaned into him hugging him around the waist.

"You had enough yet?" he asked putting his hand over my shoulder and taking my shopping bags for me.

"Not yet" I smiled looking up at him. He leaned down and gave me a quick peck.

"The boys are going to the food court for lunch, are we ready to meet them?" he asked looking at Nat.

"We'll just pop into Sephora, and then we can go and eat" Nat said as she turned and began walking. Gunner and I followed behind her, with one arm around his waist and the other holding his hand that was draping over my shoulder.

"Are you having fun?" he asked,

"Oh I really am, this place is awesome, thank you so much for bringing me here"

"Anything for you, little wolf" he said squeezing my hand.
