CHAPTER 16

“We will be fine on our won. Don’t worry about us. Just go out there and have some fun,” she said.

“Thank you. I will see you when we return,” she said and joined her friends.

“So where are we going today?” Nancy asked.

“I feel like shopping, what about you guys?” Ruby asked.

“We can do all in one. Let’s go to the shopping mall,” Alex said.

“Good idea. Our ride is here,” Nancy said.

Ruby looked at Harvey who was quiet that she was wondering what was wrong with him. The seven of them took the designated cars that drove them to the shopping mall that was thirty minutes away from the hotel.

“We will call you if we want you again, maybe around four,” Ruby said.

“Okay, Miss,” the driver said and left.

“So where are we going to first?” Jack asked.

“Shopping!” both Ruby and Nancy said at the same time and the two ladies found themselves laughing.

“Let’s go there.”

They went into different stores and boutiques until she found what she wanted. She couldn’t stop staring at it.

“I can see that you love it. Take it, I will buy it for you,” Harvey said as he stood right beside her.

“Okay, thanks,” she said and picked up the red bikini that had stolen her heart.

“I can’t wait to look at you in that,” he whispered and she found herself blushing.

“You have to earn it,” she said and began to look around for more.

“I will sweep you off your feet, Miss Moon,” he said.

“I will look forward to that,” she said and picked more clothes.

Ruby picked everything she saw and liked and even helped Nancy with her shopping too. They went to the till and she paid for her clothes using her card. Her mother rally did a good job with maximizing it.

They went to the other shop where she got busy looking for Harvey’s clothes. She just couldn’t buy hers alone when her mother had given her money for the two of them.

“I have a lot of clothes, you know,” Harvey said as she struggled between two colors for his t-shirts.

“I know so just take it as a present. I want to see you in them. You should just lose to me at a time like this,” Ruby said and Harvey grinned.

“Yes, Miss. Whatever you say suffice,” he gave in.

“That’s my boy. I will just take these two,” Ruby said and gave them to the server.

After picking Harvey’s clothes she paid for them again and went to another shop where she and Harvey both chose and bought some jewelry for their mother.

“She will love these ones,” Harvey said.

“I bet she will. Do you think we should find something for dad?” she asked.

“That old man has a lot. We should just find something for our little niece and nephew,” Harvey said.

“Okay, if you say so.”

After all the shopping they went to a café where they bought some flavored ice cream and have their fill. They really had a great time.

“We have about three hours left. How about we go and watch a movie?” Owen asked.

They all looked at him and it was a good idea.

“We have done everything we wanted so far. It won’t be a bad idea to watch one now,” Harvey said.

“Okay guys. Let’s go and watch a movie,” Jack said.

After agreeing to the request they all took the escalator to the cinema. They picked a nice movie first which was going to be aired in fifteen minutes. They bought the tickets for the private cinema room. It was a good advantage to have a lot of money sometimes.

‘We will buy the popcorns and the beverages,” Harvey said and they all agreed.

Ruby, Nancy and Jack went first to the room to wait for others. The room only had a few people who were already seated. They found their seats and got settled.

“Guys, I will be back,” Harvey told his friends who just looked at him.

“Where are you going?” Brian asked.

“I need to get something. I will be back in a moment,” he said and rushed off.

It didn’t take a lot of minutes for him to reach the store he wanted. He knew exactly what he wanted.

“Wrap this one for me please,” he said and gave the server his card.

He received his card and gift bag and rushed back to the cinema. His friends were almost done.

“You wanted to buy something for her? I can’t believe you already doing this,” Owen said.

“I just can’t help myself,” he said.

He got a bucket of popcorn and two soda cups. They all went into the private room and he spotted Ruby. He walked towards her and she helped him to take the food away from him.
