I went in and instantly felt like I was in heaven.
I heard Diana come in behind me.
“Do you really not mind buying me stuff?” I asked still in awe. I’m sure my eyes were bugging out.
“No, I love buying other people stuff.” She said.
“Okay, be prepared. I will be getting a lot in here.” I said looking around.
I moved to a fuzzy pair of snow boots. The faux fur was light green, light blue, and white. Then there was a black pair. I loved them both. Then I saw a pair of cowboy boots in metallic green, light blue, and silver. There was another pair of cowboy boots in metallic green and bronze. I wanted them all.
“May I help you?” asked a sales lady.
“Yes you can. I want all four of these in eight and a half. I don’t know how you translate that here.” I added. “I’ll get those right away.” She said turning away in her short little black heels. I saw a pair of pumps in all different colors.
“And these in every color.” I said to her. She turned and looked. “Okay.” She said before disappearing into the back alcove of the store, where it said employees only.
“I didn’t know
you liked shoes so much.” Diana said.
“I love them!” I squealed like a five year old girl.
“Ooh.” I said noticing an aqua scarf. “I must have this.” I said picking it up.
I also picked up several different sweaters in all different colors a lime green, orange, robin’s egg blue, turquoise, and lavender. I also got plain aqua and earth green shirts. I picked three pairs of jeans. One with fake peacock feathers on the front of them. They were my favorite pair of the three. I found a cerulean jacket and added it to the pile. I also picked up and aqua belt and lavender belt. An orange jacket caught my eye and I added it to the pile.
I looked around the store. I didn’t see anything else I wanted.
“I’m ready.” I said. Diana stared at me dumbfounded.
“I was beginning to think you didn’t like shopping. Clearly, I was wrong.” She laughed. I stared at the pile of clothes in my arms. Had I really picked up all of this stuff?
“I really like they’re stuff.” I said defending myself.
“I can tell,” Diana said pulling out her wallet.
I carried the stuff to the checkout.
“Are you sure you don’t mind buying me all of this stuff?”
“Of course not Kylie. It’s fun.”
“Okay.” I said putting the stuff down on the counter.
“Is this all?” asked the checkout lady.
“No, a lady is coming with shoes,” Diana said pulling out a credit card.
“Alright, I’ll start ringing this stuff up.” She grabbed the cerulean jacket and scanned the price tag.
I glanced around the corner searching for the shoe lady. The lady came carrying nineteen boxes of shoes. Was she insane?
“Thank you.” I said as she put them down on the floor. “But it was unnecessary to carry them all at once. “You could’ve hurt yourself.” I scolded.
“No problem at all.” She said. Whatever.
It seemed like if you had enough money these people would bend over backwards for you.
