After telling Alan, that she wants to go shopping, she went to her room, to change her clothes.

She has gone through half of her wardrobe, to find the perfect clothes, but still nothing. She usually would have found her outfit faster, but now she has to take into account her Word.

She was angry at it, because according to Alan, The Word couldn't be removed like a tattoo, because it isn't one, even though it looks like a tattoo. There was also the other option, which she was told, but she wouldn't ever do that to her beautiful body.

She thought for some time and finally decided to try getting it removed like a regular tattoo. She had no reason to listen what he had said. He also could have lied to her about it.

She scratched the top of her head with both of her hands, until her phone ringed.

She gets up from the bed and walks over to her night stand and picks up her phone ,wich has a pink plastic cover, with her left hand.

She answers the phone and puts it next to her left ear.

"Hi Maria!"she says

"Hi El. What are you doing?"

"I decided to go shopping, so I'm currently looking for something to wear. What about you?"

"Nothing much myself.... Hey can I join you?"

"Sure. Let's meet at twelve at the usual place. Also ask Anna If she wants to join."

"Sure. See you then. Bye."

"Bye."

She ends the call and puts her phone back on the night stand. She looks at her clothes and finally she says"fuck it."

She puts on a pair of blue jeans, white sneakers, a white shirt with pink flowers on it and a thin white hoodie.

As for Alan, he was leaning against the wall, facing Eleanor's room doors. He was going over his e-mails in his phone, while waiting for her. After finishing checking his e-mails, he put the phone back to his bucket and crossed his arm, while staring at the door.

After five minutes and twenty two seconds, she came out of her room.

"Let's go."she says. Alan pushes himself up and follows her.

They walk outside and she asks"Whos car we going with."

"Mine."he answers. There were two reasons he chose his car over the ones, that are meant for security here. One: his most comfortable with his own car. Second: his cars outer body is made out metal, that can stop an armor piercing 50. Caliber bullet from a point blank range and only leaving a slight tent. The glass gan stop the same type of ammo, but it will crack the glass pretty badly.

The one who made his car, was Agencies mechanic, that can do anything to a motor vehicle. He doesn't know how he did, but he does know that it gets shit done, so he doesn't care about it.

They sit down onto the seats, Alan starts the car and asks"Where to?"

"The Mega Mall."she answers. She starts butting her feet on the seat, when Alan says"If you want to hold your feet on my seat, then remove your shoes."

"Fine."she says and takes off her shoes. She puts her feet on the seat and starts hugging her knees.

The black Lexus was driving on the highway and inside Alan and Eleanor were quietly sitting. Eleanor was looking at the treeline, out of the cars side window. As she was looking, she remembered, that he didn't tell Alan, that she will be meeting with her friend too.

"Hey Alan."

"Yes."

"I forgot to mention that, I'm meeting up with my friends. So If we meet up, could you not tell them, that you are my bodyguard."

"I can do that. So what will I be then to you?"

"I don't know. Think something."she answered.

Sixty seconds passes and he says"I'll say that I'm your family's friend's son and staying at your house for the time being."

"Hmmm. That can work."she replied.

"Okay. So I'll drop my formal speaking, when we get there."

"Do what you want as long as you don't embarrass me."she says.

"Okay. So I'll say it now: I'm not going to carry your things you buy, because it isn't part of my job."

"Huh?"comes out of her mouth.

"Wait.... You seriously thought that I'm going to carry?"he asks.

"Noooo."she answers while turning her eyes.

Alan looks at her for a moment and then focuses back to driving.

_____________________

They had reached the mall at 11:57:23.

Alan drove to the parking lot and parked his car on the first floor. Both of them get out of the car and he locks the car, as they walk away from it.

The mall, which they entered had over two hundred shops, a cinema, a five start restaurant, a few small restaurant and fast food places. All of it is spread out on ten floors in this place.

Eleanor was walking in front of Alan and when the clock hit twelve o'clock they stopped in front of a huge white marble fountain with water coming out of a vase, held by a marble statue of a woman.

At the edge of the statue, two girls were sitting and chatting with each other, until one of them noticed us and said"Eleanor you're finally here."

She gets up and hugs.

The other girl greets Eleanor too and they hug each other.

After that, they look at Alan and one of them says"Hmmm. Eleanor, is that your boyfriend? Not bad I must say."

With a slightly red, Eleanor replies with an embarrassed voice"Alan isn't my boyfriend, Maria."

"Really? And I thought you, who doesn't talk to boys, finally got herself a boyfriend."says the other girl.

"Will you drop the boyfriend thing. It's getting embarrassing.

"Okay okay. We'll stop. So who are you?"she asks Alan.

"Alan. I'm his fathers friends son."he answers.

"Well I'm Maria and she's Anna. Nice to meet you"

"Likewise."he answers

Maria has dyed medium length blue hair which matches her blue eyes. She seems to have a pretty face, but it can't be said for sure because of the make up. She seems to be 1,7m tall, with a slender body. She is wearing blue denim shorts and ja jacket, white t-shirt and white shoes. She also has a white purse over her shoulder.

As for Anna, she has dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Her face is pretty and she doesn't seem to wear make up. She seems 1,6m tall with a slender body. She is wearing a white one piece dress with frill and white flip-flops.

It seems Eleanor is the tallest of her friends with her height being 1,73m and the tallest currently of the four is Alan with his height 1,87m.

Anna looks at him and says"So why did you decided to come here with her?"

"I just brought her here and later I have to take her back."he answers her.

"Okay. Then you're coming with is and give us your opinion."says Maria.

"I agree with Maria. What about you El?"asks Anna.

"I don't care."answers Eleanor.

"Then it's decided."says Maria.

"Let's just get moving." Says Alan.

'The girls are much bolder now, than ten years ago'thinks Alan

_________________

The girls started with clothes store and when the giant clock hanging from the mall's roof, hit two o'clock, they were in their fourth store and currently looking at some kind of leather jackets.

As for Alan, he is sitting on one of the black leather seats and is resting his head on his right hand, which itself is resting on the seats arm rest. Next to the seat, are five big bags and three small bags. All of the bags have the stores name on it, where they were gotten.

He sees another man in his thirties, sitting on the chair, with bored impression. Their eyes meet and they both slowly nod to each other, because they understand they pain of shopping.

'Next time, I'll call Sofìa, to protect Eleanor during shopping'thought Alan.

As for the girls, they are having a lot of fun while looking at clothes and chatting cheerfully.

"What to you think El?"

"I don't really like the that tone. What about you Anna."

"I'm not a fan of this design."

This kind of talking goes on and on.

While the girls are happily talking with each other, Alan looks around the store and notices a woman shoplifting.

The woman looks around carefully, before with a quick movement, puts an item to her purse.

'She has some skill' thinks Alan to himself as he observes her.

'Hmm. Should I report her or let her be?'thought Alan for a minute, until he decided to just ignore it.

He looked back at the girls and they were still at the same jacket.

'Fuck me.'

______________

It was five o'clock, when the girls decided to get seme food and so they went into one the small restaurants here.

The restaurant design wasn't anything special. The ceiling was white and not decorated. The tables and chairs looked regular, without any complicated design.

The four of them were sitting behind a table with two seats on two sides. The seats were facing each other and on them the four were sitting. Alan and Eleanor on one side and Anna and Maria on the other side.

The waitress had just takes their order and now they were waiting for their food to arrive.

"So Alan.... How old are you?"asks Anna.

"Eighteen."answers Alan with a lie. His actual age is twenty four, but he can't say it, because this will make his job harder, when the summer break ends and Eleanor has to go back to school.

"Why do you ask?"he asks after taking a bite out of an apple.

"No reason."she replies

Then Maria asks with a surprised voice"Where the hell did you get that apple? They don't have any in this place."

Alan just shrugs his shoulder and takes another bite.

The girls talk with each other and ten minutes and thirty five seconds later, their food arrives.

All of them ordered a pasta. Anna and Eleanor chicken and Maria bacon. As for Alan, he didn't order anything, because he didn't want anything from the menu and so he starts eating a new apple.

"This was pretty good."

"I agree with you El."

"I told you girls that it was a good place."says Maria.

They had finished eating their foot and everyone paid for their own portion.

But sadly for Alan, the shopping wasn't over the girls continued shopping. When Alan heard that, they want to go on with their shopping, he thought' Next time, I will definitely get Sofìa to guard her.'

They walked into a shoe store and the girls started looking around the store, for different kinds of shoes.

The girls tried out: high heels, low heels, flip-flops, sneakers, running shoes etc...

This went on for two hours, until they left the store. During that time, Alan was sitting on one of the leather seats and resting his head on his hand. As the time went by, the more he wanted to just go back. This was seriously boring to him and he hasn't still understand why woman love shopping after 10 years. It's one of the biggest mysteries to him.

When the girls decided to start moving, he was happy finally.

As they were walking back, a man walked towards them. When he was near Maria, as they passed, he grabbed her purse and started to run, but it ended immediately, because Alan who was walking behind the girls, had grabbed the robbers face with his left hand and was digging his fingers into his face.

"Well well. What the fuck did you try to do now?"Alan says with a cold voice as he grabs Maria's purse from the robbers hand. He moves his right hand towards Maria, who takes the purse slowly.

"Thanks."she says with a slow voice.

"Now then, go to sleep."he says and throws the man head first onto the floor, who is knocked out on impact.

After few seconds a nearby guard comes and asks what happened and so Alan and Maria explain what had happened and the other two confirm their story. The guard allows them to leave and looks at the unconscious guy on the floor, thinking what to do with him.

As they are leaving the store, Anna asks"Hey Alan. How did you react so quickly?"

"Fast reflexes."he answers simply.

Anna and Maria ask more questions but receive no answers.

When they were outside, they departed and went their own way.

On the roof a handsome man with a black hair mixed with white and the ends purple. His eyes were red and purple and had a purple tattoo on the right side of his face. He was wearing a black outfit and was looking at Alan and Eleanor.

"A man who can live forever If he wished and a girl who can't die. This will be interesting love story."he said to himself and waved his hand towards the person, who was looking at him 3km away and disappeared into a black smoke.
