Just a Shopping Trip

It was a nice day today. The sun was up this afternoon and the clouds in the sky covered it up every now and again. A breeze would pass by sometimes, enough to have a light jacket. It made the waiting bearable. It’s not that she was late, he was just eager to see her again and got there a bit early.

Clif was leaning against his car in the parking lot of their favorite store that sold everything from clothes, home stuff, and food. Touche’. Not too fancy, but they always had great deals, and she had a credit card that gave a bunch of discounts.

He stood about six feet tall with a slim, but athletic build. The breeze would sometimes blow the tuft of his salt and pepper hair to the other side. It didn’t matter though as he watched the clouds pass by trying to make sense of the shapes into something he knew. His light grey jacket that almost matched his hair kept the breeze out, thank goodness he wore the khakis today.

Glancing at his watch, he looked up and saw the ever-familiar sedan he could pick out in a line of a million. She’s here. He couldn’t help but smile every time he saw her. She parked next to his car and opened her door.

After stepping out she reached back into the car to grab her purse, but not quick enough before Clif was able to get a quick little spank. She turned around with a little blush on her cheeks and a smile.

The form fitting jeans, a loose teal sweater, cute boots as black as her beautiful hair, and what looked like a new lipstick just hit him with awe. Nothing compared to her smile that brought the whole ensemble together. Smiling back, they hugged. Her perfume was nothing short of magic as he held her close and butterflies were in his chest.

“I’ve missed you Yuen.”

“I’ve been missing you more,” Yuen replied with a smile.

Clif held out his elbow, and as Yuen wrapped her arms around his and they began to walk, he asked, “So what’s on today’s agenda?”

“I’m looking for a dress, something between a casual formal,” she said.

Yuen had a bounce in her step that Clif was quite fond of, and found it to be cute. Walking into Touche’ the smell of fresh popcorn and the coffee shop greeted their nose in a most welcoming way.

Yuen pulled Clif along to the dresses area and thank goodness they were there this week, there was another sale. If there was something she loved more than shopping, it was the sales.

Rummaging through the rainbow of dresses, a plethora of nods, shakes, and scrunched up faces, Yuen settled on five, Clif was happy to hold them. She was cute while she shopped.
