It's somewhere down at the bottom
I'll get a new one and come back
For the hope that you've stolen.
The Outfit
[/blockquote][/blockquote]What the fuck was he doing here?
He stared around himself with an irritable grimace on his lips. He didn't do malls, so what has possessed him to think he should be here? On the weekend no less. People milled about, the low murmur of a hundred voices hurting his ears. He wasn't a hateful or hermit by any means, but he wasn't exactly a people person either. He would rather be in a bar right now trying to get wasted and bed a couple of pretty ladies than be here.
So why wasn't he?
...Oh right, his mother's birthday was coming up.
God damn it.
His black shoes squeaked against the tile as he set off, his hands jammed in his pockets and his eyes wandering around, searching for a store that would sell something his mom might like. Then again, she liked just about everything. He sighed – this was going to be difficult. Well. He had to try.
He ducked into the first store on his right – Nope, sports stuff. Not too lady like.
He tried the next – Outdoors stuff. She wouldn't have much use with any of that.
He continuously darted in and out of stores without coming back with a single thing. Guess he just wasn't having a whole lot of luck today. Dammit. With a sigh of defeat he parked himself on an empty bench and sat back, on hand settling along the back of the chair. Might as well people watch as he thought of something to get the only woman in his life.
This was already looking like it was gonna be a rough day.
Weren't days off were supposed to be relaxing?
