Emilie walked through the mall. She was window shopping. She couldn’t do much more then that. She didn’t have much money left. She was looking at a lavender ball gown in a shop window when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned on her heel and came face to face with Howie.
“Hi Emilie!” He greeted her with a smile.
“Oh hi” she looked at the grounded. She didn’t want him to see her blushing.
“What’s wrong?” He dipped his head to try and look her in the eye.
Her head shot up and she looked him in the eye “Nothing.. Nothing at all!” She smiled nervously trying hard to hide the blushing.
“You’re blushing!” he smiled
“Uh.. am I?” her hands flew to her cheeks. She began to blush even more.
He reached out and touched her hands. He pulled them away from her cheeks. “You look pretty when you blush”
“Oh..” Her voice trailed off as she looked into his eyes. Drowning in them. He is so hot and he is touching my hands oh god!
“What are you doing here though?” He asked her letting go of her hands.
Her heart sank when he let go of her hands. “Just window shopping”
“Found anything you like?”
“Yeah actually I really like this dress.” She turned and pointed at the lavender dress.
“Why don’t you buy it then? It would look great on you!” He said.
“I don’t really have the money.”
“Well I want to see it on you! Come on try it on at least!” He said grabbing her hand. He pulled her into the store.
“But.. I would rather not.. It would be hard to take it off again and leave it here.”
“Just try it on please for me?” He looked at her like a hurt puppy.
“Oh fine!” she smiled at him. She walked over to the rack and looked at the sizes. There wasn’t one in her size. “Um.. Howie” she began to blush, she felt the tears come to her eyes. “They don’t have my size” she said very quietly.
“Oh. Um.. Ok. Come on.” he took her hand and led her to the front of the store where the dress was displayed in the window. He turned over the tag. “Is this one your size?”
She glanced at the tag that read 22W. “Yes...” she said in a shaky voice.
“Well then..” He walked up to the cashier who wasn’t helping anyone. “Um I was wondering if my friend could try on that dress in the window. The rack doesn’t have any in her size but the one on display is her size could she try that one on?”
“Yes.. if you give me an autograph for my daughter Howie.” The cashier said.
“Of course” The cashier handed him a piece of a recipe and Howie began to sign it. The cashier walked over to the window, unzipped the dress and pulled it off the manican. He handed the dress to Emilie and walked to the back of the store where the change rooms were located. He opened the door and let Emilie into the room.
Emilie quickly slipped out of her clothes and into the dress. She couldn’t reach the zipper to get it all the way up. She opened the door a crack and looked out for Howie. He was standing almost right by the door. “Um Howie can you help me get the zipper up all the way. I can’t reach it”
“Sure” he smiled and came over. He entered the dressing room and the door shut. Emilie turned and he zipped the dress up. His fingers ran up her back as he did it up and she shivered. “Are you cold?”
“No..” she began to blush. She turned around and looked at him. She looked in his eyes and was taken way. He was so gorgeous. He moved closer to her and touched her arm. She took a step closer to him. He ran his hand down her arm to hers and took it into his. Her lips parted slightly and she let out a sigh. Then realising what was happening, she stepped away “Uh.. How does it look?” she pulled her hand free from Howie’s and held the skirt on both sides.
“Beautiful” he said breathlessly.
“Really?” She asked blushing.
“Yes. You have to have it. I’ll buy it for you!” Howie said smiling.
“Oh no you can’t.” she blushed even harder.
“Why can’t I?” He asked her.
“Where would I wear it?” she asked.
“To dinner with me tonight.” He said
“Ok” She sighed.
