Cherry waved her hands in front of her continuously as she shook her head along side it. "N-No Mr. Moore I am sorry to intrude in your office. Thank you so much for letting us use it." Cher said politely. She took her bag and nudged my arm gaining my attention. She leaned forward until she was on the same height as my ears, whispering "He's a real keeper, April." And sashayed giggling away leaving her friend whose head was now a red glowing stick behind, also the fact that Mr. Moore was giving me a knowing smirk as his assistant started to clean up the mess that Cher and I made only intensified the redness on my face.
…
It was finally after working hours and the bustling streets of New York was only intensified as the people who just finished their work were hastening themselves to get home ignoring all traffic rules making it difficult for me and Cher to get to her house.
Cher, who was already in a bad mood started to throw out profanities words, honking at the people in other cars to get moving and I, who was starting to get scared for her life by her angry friend's driving style, held on to the safety belt tightly, chattering her teeth not saying anything; scared that it may fuel her anger more.
As we were almost arriving at her house something at the corner of my eyes caught my eyes. It was a retail outlets store. A yellow light bulb appeared above my head, an idea forming, but I had to do it now and quickly. I tapped at the raging Cher and earned an angry 'what!?' as she turned her head at me to see what I wanted. I pulled out my phone and started to type something, conscious of the bugged car, but made sure to keep talking to not make Jack suspicious.
"I want to check out that cute store there. It looks like they have a new collection!" I said trying to talk animatedly as possible. Next to the retail shop was a shop filled with dolls and plushies. I could feel myself cringing at the thought of entering that shop.
Before the pissed off Cher could retort angerly at me I showed her my phone screen were I wrote something on it. She clasped her lips tight and read the message.
"Please don't say anything and just go along with me. I am really begging you. Also make sure to leave your phone behind. I can't explain to you why, but I really have to go to that retail shop there."
The frown on her face deepened as she finished reading it. She glared at me and you could see in her expression that she really wanted to know what was going on, but she held in her tongue. "Fine." She gritted. "But you seriously ow me one." She added.
"You're the best!" I hugged her and we both got out of the car, after she parked in front of the retail shop.
I exhaled before entering the shop.
'I hope that Jack won't find out.'
