5 Chapter 5: Going Clothes Shopping. (1/2)
Alex was sitting on a couch in the living room watching some television while finishing his breakfast of two eggs on toast and two pieces of bacon.
”Are you ready Alex, come on let's go”, said Anne coming out of the bathroom. Alex turned to her chewing the last piece of bacon but immediately spit it out when he saw her tire, choking a little before squeezing out some words, ”Are...are you really going dressed like that”.
Anne looked down at her clothes in confusion, she was wearing a very tight top that was sticking to her figure accentuating her already large ”assets” and leaving her stomach bare for everybody to see coupled with her extremely short jean shorts and boots she didn't really look appropriate.
”Yeah”, she answered finding nothing wrong with her outfit. Alex just stood up, took a deep breath to calm himself, Anne was already a very beautiful woman but with her outfit, well you could just say that she oozed sex appeal.
”Alright let's get going”, said Alex as he followed Anne out of the apartment, she locked the door and they went down the stairs together. They were situated on the third floor so it didn't take long for them to reach the ground. Anne walked out of the apartment building and with a bounce in her step, and another place, she called a cab, causing quite a few cab drivers to come screeching to a holt, a quicker thinking driver immediately parked next to her.
The young cab driver almost fell out of his seat as he got up ran around the cab and opened the door for her. Alex that just walked out of the building couldn't help but facepalm, he could see where the driver's eyes were but chose not to comment but follow Anne into the cab through the door the driver so ”graciously” opened for ”them”. Alex could see the sparkling eyes of the driver dim when he followed Anne into the cab.
...
The driver got back into the cab and with a caught to clear his through he asked ”Where to?”, to which Anne gave him an address and off they went. Sitting in the cab, Alex thought of what they were going to do today. Their plans were simple, buy him some clothes.
Since he got ”rescued” by the ship all he had to wear were some old and tattered clothes that the captain gave him, so after getting settled in Anne decided that they had to go shopping for some clothes so that he wouldn't look like a hobo.
Alex had asked Anne about her job but apparently, she had gotten leave after a long voyage on the ship. She would usually spend her day lounging around at home and going to the gym now and then, so she was happy to have some company. Alex also asked about her relatives which turned out to be a rather sour topic seeing as she didn't have any, having grown up in an orphanage getting into a good college only because of her school grades.
...
Alex was broken out of thought by some humming, turning to its source he saw Anne looking out the window. Seeing her smiling face in the reflection of the window, Alex couldn't help but think, ”She is cute and all but this part of her is really creepy, but I guess it's just who she is, a weird girl with a big heart.”
”What”, Anne asked Alex having fought him staring at her, ”Nothing, just trying to figure you out,” Alex said with a smile. Anne turned towards him and asked, ”What's there to figure out? It should be me trying to figure you out seeing as I know nothing about you except your name and that you have a house in Japan”, she finished with an accusing voice. ”And knowing almost nothing about me and only knowing me for a few day's you invited me to your home?”. Alex said while giving her a faint smile while continuing, ”I can only conclude that either you are a very dumb or have a big heart, my money is on the second half.”
