Chapter 12//"As many times as it takes you to say my name"
"So what's really the difference between these two" Elliott asks holding up a hardback book and a paperback.
I bend down and place my growing pile of books on the floor.
"A hardback is in a way easier to read as the spine doesn't get messed up and they just look better. "I pick up a hardback copy of the fault in our stars.
God this book gave me all the feels. "See look how pretty it is" I sigh looking lovingly at the book.
Elliott tosses the book in his hands as he looks at it like something mystical is hiding inside it. Idiot. "Now put that book down Elliott before you damage it"
"How do books have spines" He glances at me. I nearly slam my head against the bookshelf but refrain myself instead, I smile at Elliott who is reading a picture book.
"Hey do you need any help?" I turn around to see an attractive young guy with blonde hair kindly smiling at me.
I see Elliott's mouth drop open as he slams the flimsy children's book shut and a scowl paints his face. I refrain myself from rolling my eyes at him and look back at the male.
"Sure" I smile back.
"Hi I'm Elliott and if you want to help US" He emphasises the 'us' "Then turn around and go stack some more shelves or even better sell some more chopped trees which you call 'books' you tree killer"
The young blonde looks startled and slightly embarrassed.
"I was just going to help her carry her books," He adds more sternly but Elliott is quite intimidating as he glares at the assistant.
"Well she has a strong and sexy man sitting beside her so we don't need your help"
"Strong my arse" I whisper under my breath. He glares at me "Come on sweetie, darling, I think we need to get you some junk food you're getting cranky"
He takes me by the shoulders and guides me to the other side of the store "What was that about?" I snap at him pulling myself away from his grip on my shoulders.
"I didn't like the way he was eying you up"
"Why would you care you're not my boyfriend?"
He looks surprised by my response "Well...Dawson if you must know, I know...someone who has a crush on you"
I glare at him "Who?"
"Well I can't tell you" He grins walking away from me. He isn't getting away that easily. He begins to pile my books into his arms like they are as light as a feather.
"Tell me they're name, I promise I won't tell"I ask using my puppy dog eyes. He considers it for a moment but shakes his brown hair grinning. So instead I do something that surprises him. I jump up on to his back. He gasps in shock and drops all the beautiful books on the floor. And he said he was strong what a liar.
"Tell me" I whine as I hold on to his neck.
"Dawson get off me, you koala" He tries to tug my grip from around his neck when suddenly we both go flying into a bookcase. There is a sickening thump that sounded like someone skull is being smashed. I open my eyes to see everyone staring at us and the staff looks unimpressed.
I stand up brushing down my jeans, completely unharmed "Well that was fun, not even a scratch to show for it" I smile.
"Speak for yourself" He rubs his shoulder standing in front of us is a small, round man wearing a suit and he doesn't look too happy.
"I can't believe he kicked us out, well their loss, I was going to spend like $200 on their books" I rant as I stuff fries in my face as Elliott continues to stare at me
"What?"
"You're going to get fat, really fat"
I swallow my food "And when did you become miss mystical who can see my future "
"Well I'm a man of many talents"
"More like a boy with a lot of dumb suggestions"
He sticks his tongue out at me for that.
Elliott puts his palm on his chin still looking at me " Who do you like?" He asks all of a sudden.
"WHAT! No one! Why would you ask such a preposterous thing"
"Well you seemed pretty surprised when I told you someone has a crush on you so tell me who you like"
"No one" I repeat.
"Who do you like?" he asks again. Is this boy a bloody parrot?
"How many times are you going to ask me that" I sigh.
"As many times as it takes you to say my name" He adds under his breath. I jump up from my chair "What did you just say?" I gasp in shock.
He grins at me and stands up as well brushing himself down "Nothing. Come on Dawson, lets keep shopping or whatever you call this torturous event"
I follow him looking dumbfound, he is still grinning at me when he whispers, "You look like you've seen a ghost"

"Cress try this on" he holds up a top while he is wiggling his eyebrows, well it can't be called a piece of clothing it's more like a piece of cloth.
"No" I reply harshly.
I run my hand through the clothes till I catch a glimpse of brown hair. My eyes narrow in suspicion.
I walk forward and see 2 people wearing sunglasses trying to hide behind a naked clay model. Who wears sunglasses indoors in the middle of December?
I decide to sneak up behind the 2 of them who are peering through the clothing line clearly looking for a specific someone.
"Daniel. Alec" They both jump up in fright knocking into each other. I have my hands on my hips looking at them sternly.
"I no speak English" Daniel says in a weird croaky voice.
"You two look like creeps, what are you doing anyway following me"
"We thought you and Elliott were going on a hot date," Alec chirps.
"And I was going to come and spoil it and drag you away," Daniel responds proudly.
"Hey guys" Elliott waves at the both of them which makes them jump again. "Wait you knew we were following you" Alec points at Elliott.
"Yeh what other 2 idiots would be wearing sunglasses indoors. I laugh at Daniel and Alec's shocked expressions.
"Wait Daniel are those my sunglasses" I gasp. He shrugs slightly embarrassed.
We decide to finally pop into Walmart and pick up a few necessities.
As we enter the busy Walmart we are hit with a gush of warm air.
As we walk down an isle that consists of toilet roll and other forms of tissue paper and cleaning appliances my ears prick up to the music running around the huge store.
"Oh crap not this song" Daniel groans looking at the sudden smile on my face.
"This is the only song I have heard for the past week coming out of Crescent's room"
"If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go"
Elliott suddenly runs a hand through his hair dramatically. He chucks his leather jacket at Alec's face.
"Thanks man" Alec replies.
"I can take you places you ain't never been before"
Elliott runs a hand down his chest. Wow he really does look good in a shirt. He tries to bite his lip seductively but ends up looking like a perve.
"Baby, take a chance or you'll never ever know. I got money in my hands that I'd really like to blow."
He runs his hands down his sides and swivels his hips around.
I think his jeans are going to rip any second. How can they hold so much muscle? Fat...I mean fat. I was not just ogling at Elliott's muscles. I feel a slight smile play on my lips while Alec and Daniel are both grinning at Elliott making a fool of himself.
Shopper's turn around and retreat from the aisle when they see Elliott prancing around the aisle holding toilet paper.
"Swag, swag, swag, on you. Chillin' by the fire while we eatin' fondue."
Elliott jumps forward closer to me and smirks at me as he flips my hair behind my back. I roll my eyes but can't help but feel the urge to laugh.
"I don't know about me but I know about you."
Daniel whips off his jacket as well and humps his way next to Elliott. I take two steps back and burst out laughing.
"So say hello to falsetto in three, two, swag I'd like to be everything you want. Hey girl, let me talk to YOU"
Both boys begin twerking up and down the aisle and soon it turns in to a race. Which sadly doesn't end happily because as soon as Alec joins they become a tangled mess on the floor but that doesn't stop them.
"If I was your boyfriend, never let you go. Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone. I can be a gentleman, anything you want. If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go, I'd never let you go."
I can't contain myself at the sight I see before my eyes, 3 boys jumping around the aisle of Walmart like looney's dancing to Justin Bieber.
"Tell me what you like yeah tell me what you don't. I could be your Buzz Lightyear, fly across the globe I don't ever wanna fight yeah, you already know I'm a make you shine bright like you're laying in the snow Burr"
I have to sit down now I can't stop laughing. All the boys are dry humping each other in the most unattractive way that I have to cover my face with my hand. I am snorting with laughter and tears are streaming down my face.
This should be rated an 18.
"Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend. You could be my girlfriend until the w-w-world ends".
"Oh Alec be my girlfriend " Moans Elliott.
"I'm sorry Bro he's taken" Daniel laughs trying to jump on Elliott's back.
Is this really what boy's do around each other when no one else is around?
"Race you" Shouts Daniel who is clinging to Elliott's neck.
"Fuck easy for you to say man" whines Elliott with the weight of my brother on his back.
"I guess is just you and me then." Smiles Alec.
"Me" I ask in awe.
"No the women on the front of the toilet roll packaging" With that Alec crouches down and I lightly jump on to his back.
"Ready' I shout still laughing "On your marks" Daniel adds but Elliott is already running.
That cheeky little bastard.
Alec sprints along seeing as I am as light as a feather. As I look in to the distance I see a perfectly stacked tower of toilet roll in front of us.
Uh-oh, well at least we will have a soft landing.
Suddenly we plummet in to a pile of soft tissue. I land on top of Alec who looks like he is about to stop breathing and when I turn around I see the staff of Walmart not looking very happy, not one bit.
"I win" Elliott shouts in triumph holding a toilet roll in the air like a trophy, as his hair is in his eyes.
So, guys, I'm kinda cheating. I'm making google translate read out my story to me as I attempt to edit. I'm sitting here howling at the sound of google translate sing 'Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber.
Edited.
