18 : Shopping Spree

My brother called to make sure I was alright...and to ask who I was texting since he's hasn't seen me smile like that in a long time. I told him to shove off with the questions and just be happy for me. He grumbled an alright.

That was a couple weeks ago, a month maybe. Time flies when having fun and that's all Logan and I have been doing. And no, not that kind of fun you naughty little sausage. I mean since Ultron is taken care of we now leave and go to the cafe in the morning like normal and walk to the park. Then we go to a new place to have fun like an amusement park or bowling alley.

We are barely ever home and when we are it's at night. At that point we are both tired so we just relax and cuddle with a good book in bed. Maybe we have a little extra fun but that's not what our relationship is based off of.

Then we fall asleep with Logan's arms around me and I wake up either with kisses or with loving eyes looking at me. But unfortunately today, and the previous three days, I didn't get that because Logan said he had to make an appearance at work before they fire him.

He told me to give him a week and then he will be back, a short trip to work after a long break. Sometimes I do wonder what he does and where he gets the money if he takes off so much. But I trust him, it's not my business.

It's strange being home alone, but I know I'm not alone because, other than Scream, I still feel him through all the memories. I know he is gone but I'm happy because I know he's mine and he will be back.

•I walked down the outlet mall sidewalk with a coffee in one hand and my phone against my ear in the other. "Do you think I should do something for him when he gets back?"

{What would you even do?} Scream questioned.

I shrugged. "I can't really do anything." I frowned. "Do you think I am a burden?"

{He lives in your house and eats your food. I think this is a equal relationship here more than a burden.}

I nodded. "I still want to do something. He said a week and it's almost over."

{Speaking of the days of the week, we need to go out. More like I need to come out.}

I rolled my eyes. "Yea. I know. You keep telling me like always around this time. Do we need to search the computer or do you have an idea where some might be?"

{I searched last night.} She said sheepishly.

"Scream... I told you not to look through my phone when I'm asleep." I walked across the stream of people towards the bakery.

{I couldn't sleep.}

"Whatever." I walked into the bakery. "Should I get him some muffins? Or maybe I can find something minty. He likes mint."

{He likes whatever you do. But yes. Mint is a superior. Anything cold he likes.}

"Hmmm." I looked at the desserts as I walked across the display. "Maybe I can stop at the ice cream shop and pick up an ice cream cake.... Do we even know when his birthday is?"

{He's never said.}

I sighed and walked out of the bakery and down the street towards the ice cream shop. "Why haven't I asked. I such a horrible girlfriend. I don't even know how to be a girlfriend."

{Neither do I but I think you are being a wonderful girlfriend.}

"Of course you would say that." I walked to the ice cream shop doors and saw a closed sign. "Ugh." I kept walking. "Now I'm a horrible girlfriend."

{You worry to much.}

I rolled my eyes and put my phone away as I walked into the shop for males. (Maybe a watch or sunglasses?)

{Or a tie. He always wears a suit when you go out.}

(I guess. But he's starting to wear sweaters.)

I looked at the watches, ties, cuff links, sunglasses, handkerchiefs, and last was a rack of belts... but he never really wore belts. So I went back to the ties.

"Can I help you miss?" I turned to a kind older gentleman worker. "You seem to need help picking something out. I assume."

I smiled softly. "I just wanted to get something special for my boyfriend." I looked back at the ties. "He usually wears suits so I thought maybe a tie."

"If you would like we sell sets." I looked back at him with confusion, he smiled softly. "A set comes with matching colored tie, handkerchief, and cuff links."

I smiled. "Can I see them?"

The man nodded with a smile. "Of course. Follow me to the counter." He walked behind the counter and I walked to the front. "Do you have a specific color?"

I thought. "Um..."

{Blue or green will match his eyes.}

I smiled. "Can I see blue or green."

"Yes." The man turned to the shelf of small boxes and took some off the shelf. "We have a wide selection." He opened both boxes. "But these are very popular with the men."

I looked at the options. (Shit. They are both nice.)

{Then get them both.} Scream said and I started to think that was a good idea.

"I like them both." I leaned away from the boxes. "But can I see the others first?"

The man nodded. "Of course." He turned around and gathered a few more before turning to me and showing me the wide variety.

After a while I decided that I couldn't just get one color and picked out a blue and a green one.

"Wonderful choice, Miss." The man said, I smiled softly. "Would you like me to gift wrap them?"

I nodded. "Yes please." The man nodded and turned around to the wrapping station and began to package up the gifts. (I hope he likes them.)

{He definitely will. Maybe you should go get lingerie.}

My eyes widened. (Scream! No! Are you... Would he like that? I've never bought lingerie before...)

"Here you are, Miss." The man slid the bag across the counter.

I smiled. "Thank you." I slid my card and his eyes widened slightly before he walked to the register and checked me out.

He came back with the receipt. "Have a wonderful day, Miss Stark."

I smiled softly. "You as well." I walked out then took my phone back out. "Lingerie? Seriously?"

Scream chuckled slightly. {Why not? It's not like you guys don't do it.} I blushed at her stating the obvious tone. {Live a little, Elisa. I've let you be to innocent for to long.}

I sighed and looked around. "Fine." I walked down the strip of shops that I knew had a lingerie store somewhere. "This is going to be so embarrassing."

I walked into the store and saw all of the skinny woman there who were shopping for the same purpose as me. I walked past the panties and bras and into the sleep lace lingerie wear.

{THAT ONE!}

I flinched. (DONT SCREAM LIKE THAT, SCREAM!) I calmed down and looked around. (Which one?)

{There. No. The black one. Next to that. Yes.}

(No.)

{Come on, Elisa. He will love it.}

(It's string. I could buy thread at home and throw it on me and it would do the same job.)

{You are not like the other females of your race.}

I raised a brow. (What other females have you inhabited?)

{None. But I've been seeing through your eyes for 11 years.}

(Then you should know I would never wear that.) I continued down and spotted one I thought wasn't to bad but also was at the same time. (What about that?) I walked to it and picked it off the rack.

{Yes. Yes. Yes. That's the one. Check out and lets go home.}

I smiled. (Alright.) I walked to the register and waited in line until it was my turn. "Hi." I placed the item on the counter.

She smiled. "Special night?"

I smiled shyly. "Yea."

She smirked and rang up the lingerie then took it off it's metal cage and put it in a bag. "Is that all?" She asked.

"Yes." I took out my card and pushed it into the reader. (Thank god she won't see the name on my card.)

"Thank you for shopping with us." She ripped the receipt from the dispenser and handed it to me.

I smiled softly. "Thank you." I took the receipt and the bag. "Have a nice day."

She smiled. "Have a wonderful night."

I blushed and walked to the exit, a sec on after I exited my phone rang and I took it out. Tony, my brother and overseer of our money was calling.

(Shit.)I answered and pressed the phone to me ear as I walked. "Hello."

"Why did I just get a notification for a lingerie purchase?" I heard a glass break. "Come on, Reindeer Games. That was my favorite mug."

I sighed. "It's my life Tony."

"You do realize I'm your brother. It's my job to watch out for these things and... Have you had the talk? Are you having sex with this-."

I hung up the call and put the phone on silent. (Sometimes... I want to strangle him.)

{Have you had the talk?}

(Scream!) I snapped, she chuckled.
