Chapter 88

**Megan**

Logan moves his hand into mine as we walk out of a shop. He had just bought himself a pair of trainers and me a pair of boot, I insisted on not having them but he ignored me. I’m not complaining though I do like the boots, I could have bought them myself.

“Can we go in that shop?” Julie asks. We look at her to see her pointing to another clothes shop.

“Go ahead,” he said “I’ll wait out here,” he said and Melanie, Julie and Yasmin walk off into the shop.

“I’m going to go with them,” I said and kiss him on the lips. He smiles and I walk into the shop.

A sigh escapes me as I pick up another dress I like that is too revealing for me to wear. If I didn’t have the scars on my back I’d buy this dress in a heartbeat. It’s a black bodycon dress that’s backless. A girl stood opposite to me looks at me and frowns. I give her a small smile and put the dress back. I turn and walk towards the accessories part of the shop to see Melanie there with Cade. She looks at me and gives me a smile.

“Are you ok?” she asks. I nod and look at the scarf she’s holding in her hand. “Do you like it? He’s saying it’s not me, it is isn’t it?” she said holding it out to me. It’s a dark grey scarf with white skulls on.

“Yeah,” I said and hand it back to her “you should know she likes hers skulls and black,” I said to Cade and he shrugs.

“Whatever I don’t particularly like it but if she wants it she can have it,” he says.

“Oh I’m so glad I have your permission,” she snaps and I look away from them.

“Awkward,” I said slowly as it stays silent. I then notice a leopard print bag “Oh I like this,” I said walking towards it and taking it from the shelf.

“He’s such a dick,” I hear Melanie say. I look at her then look around to see Cade was gone. “I want rid of him,” I laugh and hold the bag to her. “Urgh just wish I never invited him he’s so boring,” she said and I laugh.

“In what way?” I ask and she looks at me and smiles.

“Don’t be so dirty, he’s boring in that aspect too but it’s not just that he’s so unsociable, he’s in college for crying out loud, you’d expect him to be a little sociable,” she said and I smile a little. “We haven’t had sex by the way, that’s starting to annoy me too,” I frown at her “he keeps pressuring me it’s getting annoying,” she says.

“Hmm well as long as it doesn’t go further than just pressuring,” I said and she looks at me.

“It won’t and that bag is nice for you, you know it’s not my type of bag,” she says. I smile and she hooks her arm with mine.

“Where are Julie and Yasmin gone?” I ask.

“They went downstairs there are more clothes downstairs apparently,” she said and leads me to the escalator leading down. We walk towards Yasmin and Julie to see them looking at what seems more dresses.

“I think you’d look like a girl from the red light district to be honest Julie,” Yasmin said as Julie holds a dress up to her body that barely covers her. Julie laughs and puts the dress back. They look at us as we stand in front of them. I place the bag I want into Yasmin’s basket and smile at her.

“Where’s Cade?” Julie asks.

“Boresville,” Melanie says. I laugh and so do they, “he’s gone in a mood somewhere, I don’t really care,” she says.

“Don’t say that,” Yasmin said “he’s not that boring is he?” she asks.

“We have nothing in common at all, I’ve got more in common with my dead goldfish than him,” she said and I shake my head. “I bet you, you have more things in common with Logan that what I have with Cade,” she says.

“We like the same music if that counts,” I say.

“And you can both draw, you both like to draw, read, write, and you both play the piano,” Melanie said “At least that’s more than me and Mr Boring,” she says.

“And we like the same movies,” I said “and he takes as much pride in his hair as what I do with mine,” I said and they all look at me. “You should watch him get ready one morning it’s like a whole routine for his hair,” I said and they smile.

“And you’re both hot,” Julie said as she starts to look at a few tops. “Only half of Melanie’s relationship is hot,” Julie said and Melanie looks at her “I didn’t said it was Cade,” she said looking at Melanie “he’s just good looking nothing more you know, it’s hard to fully explain but it’s that look that makes you only attracted to them for about a week,” she said and I smile.

“And you look good in his t-shirts,” Yasmin suddenly said and we look at her “what it’s a good thing,” she said and I smile.

“It’s only because he works out,”

“Exactly,” Yasmin said “what I would give to just have a boyfriend who had that kind of body,” she said and I roll my eyes.

“Girls are we talking about me,” we hear Carl say. We look to see him walking towards us, “Or Logan?” he asks.

“Logan,” Yasmin says.

“Get him drunk and he’s anyone’s,” he said and I shake my head as I look through more clothes. “I mean anyone’s seriously I had a chance but I had a stupid boyfriend and he just made it difficult,” he pauses and looks towards me I give him a small smile and look at some jeans.

\---

We walk out of the store to see Logan talking to a blonde girl. I had bought the bag I saw and I bought a hat. Melanie hadn’t bought anything, Julie bought two new dresses, I swear that girl has more dresses than she

has underwear and Yasmin bought a top. Carl tried to get Yasmin to try a very revealing dress on and well Yasmin being the girl she is crushed that in an instant.

“I’ll get that redhead in my bed,” Carl said and I look at him. “That rhymed,” he said with a small smile.

“You keep thinking that,” I said and look at Logan “who is that girl?” I ask Carl.

“Urm I think she’s an old friend of his,” he frowns “yeah I met her about two years ago,” he says. I look away from him back to the girl. She wore black skinny’s with black wedges and a silk top and a blazer. She run a hand through her hair as she smiles at him and then looks at her phone.

“Are they just friends?” I ask.

“Well now they are, I think they’ve slept together I don’t really remember when I met her I think I was very drunk,” he said and I nod. It looks as if she’s telling him she has to go. “You can’t be jealous of her,” Carl says. I look at him and frown “Yeah she has a job most girls would be jealous of but she’s just a friend, you’ll find that he has more girl mates than he has guy mates it’s just how it is. Plus he only used her for sex,” he says.

“Yeah because that makes me feel better,” I mutter.

“It should do, he doesn’t see you like that,” he said and I fold my arms and look at him “damn this is coming out all wrong,” he said “I’m saying he wouldn’t use you,” he said “does that sound better?” he ask.

“Much,” Yasmin said “what’s her job?” she asks.

“She’s models underwear,” he said and Yasmin laughs.

“You just made it a whole lot worse,” she said “you could have lied and said she was something like a model for extra plus size clothes or something,” she said and I smile.

“With a body like hers,” he said and walks off towards them. She said buy to Logan gives Carl a quick glance and smiles at him giving him a small wave and walking off.

“I hate her already,” Julie says. I sigh and walk off into a music store. After about five minutes looking through a few CD’s I’m now playing with the IPad on display. I’m playing the game Diner Dash.

“Are you ok?” I hear Logan’s voice said in my ear as his arms move around my waist making me jump a little.

“Yeah,” I said and put the IPad back on its charger and move out of his arms. He takes my hand in his as I walk towards the game section of the shop.

“Carl told me that you were a bit pissed off,” he says.

“I’m not,” I say, I am but I guess it’s mostly because he never told me we were going to be bumping into people he has slept with.

“C’mon you are and I understand but just so you know she’s not even a friend she’s more of a person you said hi to every now and then,” he says.

“Ok,” I said and let go of his hand as I read the back of a game. He sighs at me moves his hand onto my bum. I move it and he sighs.

“Well ok then I’m going home ring me when you’re out of this mood with me,” he said and walks away from me. I look at him and put the game back.

“Ok I will do,” I said and he turns and looks at me. I smirk and he frowns at me. “I’m not in a mood with you, I’d be a crap girlfriend if I went in a mood with you over talking to another girl,” I said and reach over to him and take his hand in mine. “I just didn’t expect to bump into people you’ve slept with,”

“I didn’t plan it,” he says.

“I know,” I said and I pull him with me back to the IPad to play on it again. “I’m just being weird,” I said and he moves his arms around me and kisses my shoulder.

“You’re not I get moody whenever I see you talking to Tyler,” he said “but I love the fact you get jealous,” he said and moves his hand down to my bum.

“Shut up,” I mumble he chuckles to himself and starts to play my game.

“Do you want to go for something to eat?” he asks. “Just me and you though,” he says. I look at the time to see it’s nearly three in the afternoon. “Or we can go see a movie then go for something to eat,” he said and I look at him. “I got a text and my uncle is back at the house so if we go back I’ll be in a meeting pretty much all night,” he says.

“I guess we could then,” I said and lean up and kiss him on the lips. “They may want to come with us to see the movie though,” I said and he sighs.

“I guess but I’m not paying for them, I’ll pay for your ticket though and anything else you want,” he said putting the IPad down and move both his hands around my waist.

“C’mon before people start staring in disgust at us,” I said taking his hand in mine and walking to the posters which is where nearly everyone is. “We’re thinking of going to see a movie,” I said and they look at us.

“Just you two?” Carl asks.

“Where’s Melanie and Cade?” Logan asks looking around.

“They went somewhere more private,” Julie said with a laugh.

“They went to the coffee shop across as they started arguing,” Yasmin says.

“Again just you two?” Carl asks.

“You can come if you want,” Logan says. “But you pay for yourselves,” he said and I look at him.

“Could you have said that any harsher?” I ask and he smiles at me.

“Sorry,” he said and we walk out of the music store.
