An agreement with the bad boy

Shopping

Ethan POV

"So what do you think? Do you think we can pull it off?" Sophie asked.

"well, the clothes have gotta go. I can't see what I'm working with under all that. But she's got some fire to her, it's hot."

"I've seen what's under those clothes and I know you won't be disappointed." Sophie said with a wink. "So got quite a job tomorrow, you staying over. It's gonna be an early start."

"Huh? I don't do shopping." Is this girl mad?

"Under these circumstances you do, we need to know what's hot and what's a turn off. And you'll get to have a glimpse at what's under all those clothes." She had a smile from ear to ear. "And if your really good maybe she'll let you have a closer up look later."

"I thought that was all part of the deal." Well you gotta try new things right?

"That's up to her now isn't it? You got some work to put in. The guys keep coming back for more for a reason, wouldn't you like to find out that reason. Maybe she's a real dirty girl between the sheets." With a friendly tap of my knee, she rose to her feet and walked from the room. 

I was rudely woken from a deep sleep. Sophie was bouncing up and down on the bed, prodding me with her finger and shouting like a kid on Christmas morning.

"Wakey, Wakey sleeping beauty! Come on I've been up for an hour, I'm bored and Lexi's doing her morning gym session." Who the hell works out at this time of the morning? It's still dark out for f**k's sake.

"f*****g hell Sophie. You're so f*****g annoying!" I saw Lexi rush past the open door as I grabbed my jeans, pulling them on.

"I'm gonna have a shower, then I'll make breakfast. Be downstairs in half hour." She shouted from the hallway.

I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, sitting on a stool at the breakfast bar, Lexi had set out three plates and three sets of cutlery. She was standing at the cooker in a pair of grey jogging bottoms and baggy white t-shirt, her jet black hair still dripping from the shower.

"I hope eggs are alright for you, I didn't know you'd want? What do you want to drink?"

"Coffee please." She was so different from the shy girl at school. I watched as she danced around the kitchen, spatula in hand and pressing buttons on the coffee machine with the other. She served me up a steaming cup of coffee with a polite smile.

"Good morning. Who is ready for a day of spending then?" Sophie crashed through the swing door, rubbing her hands together.

Lexi rolled her eyes, ignoring her comment. She leant against the breakfast bar, her head resting on her clenched first while taking a bite from the apple she was holding.

"Sit your arse down and eat your eggs Sophie. The sooner we get this over with the better." I guess she's not really into shopping either. My kinda girl. Sophie threw her hands up in surrender and sat on the stool next to mine. She took a sip from the coffee Lexi had prepared for her and nodded in Lexi's direction.

"I hope those clothes are easy to get on and off. you'll be in the fitting rooms most the day."

"Yes, they are thank you. Do you want me to give you a floor show right here and now, just to demonstrate." I nearly choked on my coffee, I certainly didn't expect that to come from Lexi's mouth. She raised her eyebrow at me and leant back down on the table, looking me in the eyes. "For someone so used to getting girls out of their clothes, you seem a little uncomfortable." Sophie turned to me, leaning her elbow on the table and resting her chin on her open hand.

"Yeah. I mean especially after last night. You were telling me how you wanted to see what was under her clothes." Sophie giggled. Lexi gave me a wink and sauntered out of the room, throwing the apple core in the bin as she passed it.

"I'm gonna get ready. We need to leave in half hour."

It was a quiet drive to the shopping centre. The music in Sophie's Jaguar XE played lightly in the background as I looked out the window.

We pulled into the car park and walked in. Sophie ran towards the first clothes shop we came to. I didn't realise how girly she actually is. She guided me towards a white sofa that sat in front of a full length mirror which was fixed to the wall at the end of what looked like a catwalk to the fitting rooms. Lexi sat down next to me while she waited for Sophie to pick out some outfits. I started to scroll through my phone. Lexi seems like a great girl, but she is still quiet. 

"What. The. f**k?!" Lexi looked over my shoulder seeing my social media page on the screen.

""what's that, Jasmine's post. Yeah I saw that this morning." I looked at her in disbelief and then looked back at my phone. There was a post with a picture of Jasmine clinging to my arm and kissing my cheek from a party about a year ago, with a caption saying: 

Me and the boyf. one year on and still going strong!

"Right, You. Fitting rooms now!" I was brought out of my shock when Sophie came over with a mountain of clothes hung over her arm. I am going to have to have serious words with Jasmine later.

After a couple of minutes Lexi came out wearing a tight, red dress. It was sleeveless and came to just below her knees, clinging to her body in all the right places. You could see all the work she puts in at the gym has really paid off. Sophie was right, I really did like what I saw, I could feel a slight twitch in my boxers. What is this girl doing to me?

"Well?" Sophie asked

"Yeah, it's good." Try to keep it cool Ethan.

Lexi went back into the changing room and remerged a couple of moments later wearing a short baby pink and black check, pleated skirt and a low cut lacy white vest. Oh, there's another twitch, I grabbed the cushion from next to me and placed it on my lap, trying to hide my excitement, but too late. Sophie had spotted me.

"Oh, I think this one's a keeper don't you Ethan?" She said with a smirk, grabbing Lexi and placing her in front of her, giving me a better view. One of her hands held Lexi just over the top of her chest "Come on, honest opinion it's not too frumpy is it?" She started running her other hand up Lexi's leg, lifting the skirt an inch as she skimmed past her hip. "Oh come on Ethan, don't be shy. I'm sure you two are going to be very close friends by the end of this." I held in a moan as Lexi looked  at me with her eyebrows raised and a little smirk at the edge of her mouth, not saying a word. These girls are going to be the death of me.

"I also need some shirts and skirts for school." Lexi said as if the last couple of minutes hadn't happened.

"Oh, I forgot about school. good thinking!" Sophie ran off while Lexi remerged from behind the curtain with yet another outfit on. 

This one was a pair of black, ripped skinny jeans with a long sleeved cropped top showing her midriff. She kept switching from tip toes back to the soles of her feet.

"What do you think of this one? Maybe with some heels?" She turned, her back towards me for an answer, but I couldn't take my eyes off the red and black butterfly tattoo on the base of her spine, I wasn't expecting that, she seemed like the last girl who would have one. She turned back to the mirror and went back onto her tip toes once more. "Yeah, with some heels." She whispered to herself, walking back behind the curtain. I really have to go and cool down a bit.

"I'm just going to get a coffee." I said to Sophie as she rushed past me with more clothes.

"Of course you are." She said, laughing at me.

I got out of the shop and took a couple of deep breaths to try and calm myself. This shopping lark isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Walking in the direction of the food court, I was nearly knocked over by someone rushing up to me, clinging to my arm.

"Jasmine." I said with a growl. I was pissed with nearly getting pushed over.

"Why didn't you like my post? I saw you saw it so why didn't you?" Well hello to you too.

"I was busy, I've only just seen it." I shrugged, hoping she'd get the point and drop it, but this is Jasmine Dale we are talking about.

"So, like it now. It'll only take a minute." She scrambled to try and get my phone out of my pocket. What does this girl think she's doing? The only reason I put up with her is because she comes running whenever I need her. I grabbed my phone out of her hand.

"What the f**k Jasmine? You wanna know the real reason I haven't liked your post? it's because it's bullshit. I am not and never will be your boyfriend. I've never lied to you about that, you know it's just a bit of fun." She clung tighter to my arm and ran her hot pink manicured nail down my chest. This girl is a f*****g leech.

"I know baby, but Jason sees different girls and takes them on dates and stuff. Is too much to ask that you might hold hands with me in public and take me out for coffee once in a while?" Of course Jason f*****g Coleman would get brought into it.

"Yes, it is too much to ask. I don't do lovey dovey s**t. Plus I'm seeing a couple of other girls, it's not all about you."

"But Jason has been seeing Kayleigh the last couple of weeks, while he was dating that Alexis girl. God only knows why he wasted any time on her. I mean seriously?" Oh I know why.

I saw the two girls coming out of the shop. Sophie started to head towards me. Yes! I'm saved. Then Lexi pulls her back, shaking her head, saying something to her. Sophie turns to look at me, before turning around to walk the other direction. I just hear them let out a roar of giggles. Walking off, I could see the top of Lexi's tattoo peeping from underneath the plain cropped vest she was wearing, Sophie must have made her change before they carried on shopping. My phone beeped in my hand as I held it. I opened the text.

Sophie:

Hey dude. Thanks for the advice today ;)

Gonna leave you , it looks like you've found something better to do.

Hopefully see you soon.

Soph.

Oh and don't forget to say hi to your brother for me. He's mega hot! x

Jasmine clung tighter to my arm looking over my shoulder to try and read the text.

"So who's Sophie. I hope she's not after my man." God does this girl ever get the hint?

"Sophie's a friend of my brother's, he hooks up with her from time to time, I've seen her at couple of parties. That's all." Why am I even explaining myself?

"Oh good, because I can't have anymore competition." 

Oh honey, it's not Sophie you need to worry about. I've seen a whole other side to a very intriguing lady.
