Girlfriend

Aria was in a floral short circular skirt, off-white knitted top whose sleeves were pulled up. She wore a simple diamond chain with matching teardrop earrings.

A high heel made her look taller and svelte. Her slightly curled hair was bouncing as she descended gracefully. He could make out a light shade of pink lipstick on her soft lips.

She looked pure, young and innocent.

Aria asked cutely, melting both Amelia and Rowan, "How do I look?"

"Very Pretty!" Rowan complimented.

"That's like my girl! Stop using those boring shorts and a T-shirt." Amelia complained and was satisfied by asking her to change.

Aria smiled, "I will think about it." She checked the time on her wristwatch. "Aunty! Do I have to go out and wait? It's already time."

A maid who saw Alan, announced to the rest, "Young Master is here."

Aria waved at the duo and left towards the main door. After nearing Alan, she turned to Amelia, "Aunty! I think you should also ask your son to change his formals."

He was wearing a crisp white diamond cuffed shirt, blue waistcoat, and same colored pants with black dress shoes. Aria knew his blazer would be in the car. The tie was missing which he hardly wears and keeps his shirt top buttons open most of the time she saw him.

Alan didn't expect that comment. He also understood Amelia made Aria choose a different outfit.

Amelia turned to them from the couch, "He is a boring man. Do you think he will listen to me as you do?... You can ask him though."

Aria smiled awkwardly. She couldn't understand why Amelia and Rowan pull her for everything whenever Alan's related matters come up.

She pointed herself with her forefinger and chided as she went out.

Alan couldn't understand why she was looking at her forefinger. "What happened to your finger?"

Aria shook her head, "I'm scolding myself for commenting on your outfit."

Alan pursed his lips to a straight line and opened the shotgun seat door for her. When he could speak without smiling, he said, "You are effervescent."

Aria proudly answered just like how she responds to Rian, "I know."

He couldn't control his chuckle and closed the door. He knew if it was a day before she would have said, 'Thank you Young Master Morgan.'

They soon left without noticing the duo peeking by the window in amusement.

As they spoke, Alan asked, "Isn't a suit appropriate for a date?"

Aria gave it a thought and spoke, "Do you think you are going on a business deal wearing your dark-colored Italian suit?... You have to make some effort on dressing up at least on dates... Anyway, it's not required for you as those families girls are already INSPIRED and IMPRESSED by you." She purposefully exaggerated.

"Oh!" He didn't talk until he stopped at a traffic signal, "I heard you have done a crash course on fashion designing. So what do you suggest for me to wear for the first date?" Instead of asking directly, he used his brain to reason.

Aria had done a fashion design course known to only a few. Thinking Rian or chief designer of Skyline fashion must have told him Aria gave it a thought, "Semi formals... Hmm... A white and black t-shirt, black slim-fit blazer... Dark blue ripped jeans and white shoes." She chose those colors because she never saw him wearing other colors.

"Then let's shop."

Aria: "..."

She glanced at him and looked front. 'Aria! Think straight.'

She started to feel like she was going on a date instead of accompanying him to his lunch date.

After it felt like an eternity, she spoke, "Your date will be waiting for you. It's not good to be late or make her wait."

Alan secretly smiled because that girl was going to take a very long time to reach because of his men. "We will go to the mall near to the restaurant." He nonchalantly replied.

'This man keeps a reply to everything.' She thought to herself and used her mobile for some time before sliding it back to her white mini sling.

Both reached the mall and went in. Aria who had thought for some time again tried to reason, "Young Master Morgan, have you ever worn such clothes? If you aren't comfortable, you shouldn't force yourself. I simply suggested."

Alan was calm, "No problem! I can try."

Aria: "..."

After sometime Aria realized they were attracting too much attention. She glanced at the debonair and herself. To everyone's eyes, they were looking like a couple.

'Aria! At this rate, you will die single. Nobody will pursue you with this man around. Set him up soon.'

She encouraged herself and entered a shop. Alan motioned for her to go in and choose. "Go on"

Aria: "..."

'President Morgan! You are nuts.'

She realized if she says anything, he would rebuff and she would only have to do hence she saved her energy.

As they went in, a salesgirl welcomed and asked her who was ahead, "Miss. Are you looking for you or your boyfriend?"

Aria gritted her teeth and strode in. Alan was delighted to hear it but nothing showed on his face.

After going through a few collections, She chose a full sleeve simple white T-shirt with horizontal black stripes. After asking the size, she stuffed it to his hands.

She moved ahead to the jeans section and checked quite a few patterns before picking one and stuffed him again ignoring the sales girl's hand for the second time.

When she was checking through blazers, the salesgirl who was mesmerized by Alan's look, struck up a conversation, "Sir, your girlfriend seems to be angry."

He knew that.

'Girlfriend' sounded pleasing to his ear but a cold glance at the salesgirl made her look away from him and did her work.

Aria went to him and spoke, "I didn't like any blazer or jacket style."

Even though she didn't like to shop for him, she did her work promptly instead of randomly picking up what they have.

Alan nodded and led her towards the cash counter as he said, "We will check in other shops."

Aria hummed and went to the next famous branded shoe shop. She picked a White shoe and left to another shop for a blazer.

After going through a few, Aria liked one and passed it to him, "Change... If you don't like, Wear your formals back."

Even though he never tried that combination, he was ready to add on some changes to his wardrobe for Aria.

When he went in to change, Aria was going around. She saw the Sunglass Hut and went in. She bought a wayfarer and returned back to the opposite shop by the time Alan changed and exited.

When Alan exited, Aria turned to see the complete whole new look of Alan. She subconsciously stood up as she looked at him. He was very striking to the eyes. He looked phenomenal making the salesgirls leave their customers and look at him in wonder.

Alan liked Aria's reaction and saw her lips curling up. He went to her and spoke expecting some compliments, "So?"

"Am I not skilled in choosing the outfit? I can think about being a stylist." She looked at Alan expectantly to know whether he liked or not.

Alan's lips twitched uncontrollably. 'This girl!'
