The limo pulls into a parking spot in front of the mall. A bodyguard steps out of the car and he opens the door for us. I step out of the car and wait for Leila to follow me.

When she steps out of the car she says. "Where do you want to go first?"

I shrug. "I will let you choose the place. I haven't been to this mall before."

Leila takes my hand and pulls me to the closest store. She turns towards her bodyguard. "Can you get them to shut the shop for us? I don't want people to see us trying clothes on and taking photos."

The bodyguard walks into the store and he speaks to the woman for a bit before he walks over to is. "The Sales Assistant is going to ring up the following customer's orders before you walk in there. If there are any problems. Let me know and I will get you, girls, out of there quickly." He looks at me. "I don't want to deal with either of your partners. They are two of the worst guys in Los Angeles. They're the type you wouldn't want to cross in an alley." He looks at me. "How did you meet, Jai. "

"In an alley." His face pales and his mouth widens. I nudge Leila and start laughing.

She laughs as well. "Damn, I wish I had my phone."

I give her mine and she takes photos of the poor the guy.

She snaps a few shots before she sends the pictures to her phone. She smirks at him. "I want to remember your expression when I tell Ace this story."

We start giggling.

It feels good to start laughing again after everything that has happened recently in my life. I just hope that it can get back to normal soon.

The woman from the store closes her doors and she waves at the bodyguards. We walk into the store.

Leila and I look through the racks until we find something we like.

The woman looks at me. "I know who you are? You're the home wrecker. The one that stole Jai Marshall from another woman."

I roll my eyes. "When will You people ever learn? The paparazzi are liars and they listen to jealous people. Jai..." I cut myself off.

I don't need to explain myself to this woman.

I look at the piece of clothing in my hand and I put it back on the rack. "Leila, let's get out of here. This store doesn't deserve our money. There's plenty of stores around that will have something better."

I'm not going to buy anything from here. She lost two customers when she brought that stuff up about Jai and I.

Leila nods. " I agree. There are better places here." She looks at the store owner. "I will be telling my friends about the service in this place. Also, my father will be hearing about this too." She grabs my hand and pulls me out of the door.

"What's your Dad going to do?"

"Dad owns this place. He's made heaps of malls all over the world. A few aren't doing as well as this one, but I'm trying to fix up all the malls and get more people into them."

"Is there a cinema or a bar around here?"

Leila snaps her fingers. "I should look into getting them put here. Anything, else?"

"An art studio and a photography studio will be great here too, but I don't think those people will be able to pay for space."

"Can you ask Jai if he could help us out?" She whispers. "I don't want Ace to know about these plans. He might use them for his own Malls."

I hug her. "I forgot that Ace and you are competition, but when I see you two together I forget about that and think that you're a real couple. Did you give him a Proposal?"

Leila looks away from me. "Yes," she covers my mouth before I can talk. "I don't want everyone to know." She let's go.

"Leila, you're Proposal with Ace is similar to mine, but at least you won't have someone leak private information about Ace and you."

Leila and I make our way to the next store.

The salesperson shuts the door after we enter. She stays away from us with strict instructions form the bodyguards. I go through the racks and I find a black halter dress that ends at my knees, three black skirts, three white tops, jeans and a jumper. I carry them to the change room and try on the clothes.

They fit me perfectly, but in a couple of months they won't fit me and I will have to go shopping again.

Leila and I take the clothes over to the counter and the sales lady rings up our purchases. She tells us the price and we put it on the card.

I walk out of the store with two bags.

We go to three more stores and then I start to feel tired. My feet are aching. "I need to sit down for a bit and then I need to get one more thing before we go home."

She takes my hand. "We need to have lunch before we can go anywhere. The little one and you need to eat. So, what do want?"

I shrug.

"How about a burger without lettuce and tomato?" She turns her back to me. "I'll be right back." She walks over to a hamburger place.

My phone starts ringing and I see "Jai" flash across the screen.

He laughs.

He blows kisses threw the phone and I do the same. People walking past me give me a dirty look, but I ignore them as I continue the kisses through the phone.

I put the phone in my bag and wait for Leila to return with the food.

She places the food in front of me. "I got a call from, Ace. He's..."

"Fishing with Nate and Jai." I finish. "And you have to keep me company until they arrive."

"Girls night in?"

"Yes," I bring the bottle of water to my lips and drink. I put the bottle back on the table. "We should watch some chick flicks. Do you have a favourite movie we can watch?"

Leila shakes her head. "I don't usually watch chick flicks. I'm sure your choice of the movie would be great."

"Thelma and Louise is my favourite chick flick. I can't wait for you to watch it. Or there's the Notebook?"

"I've seen The Notebook. It was a terrible movie. I don't know how people could sit through that movie without falling asleep. I love Love Stories, but there was something in that movie that I didn't like."
