Going Shopping

The four girls walked through the mall looking at different stores. Taylor was leading them along the hallway while she looked for what she had in mind for Chloe with Hannah and Meagan following behind them. The two girls had fallen into an easy back and forth flirty conversation about school and sports while Chloe silently followed Taylor and kept glancing down at her hand when she thought none of the girls were looking. During the entire trip and now again in the mall she kept flexing and curling her fingers as if trying to remember what they had done and why. It seemed like it was someone else's hand, not hers, that had grabbed Zack's cock and stroked it, she couldn't shake the memory from her head. 'I'm losing my mind, I can't go on like this.'

"Now, your Mom's got great taste with your clothes, they look really good on you," Taylor said to Chloe as they entered one of the shops in the mall with Hannah and Meagan followed them, "So I'm just gonna give you some ideas on how to wear them."

Chloe just seemed to roll her eyes in disbelief. She really didn't think the clothes fit her at all. They tended to show off too much of her skin and the worst part was that they seemed to make her breast push out even more than usual with them.

"The bikini she gave you was perfect to start off with. Hannah and I had something like that when we started. It's got a nice wholesome, conservative cut. It really shows off your body without revealing anything. It's perfect for a family get-together or when you don't want to call too much attention." Taylor said while she checked out a few swimsuits, every once in a while passing one to Chloe. "And that is exactly why it's not good for this trip. You need something young, enticing, and sexy, that will make the guys never want to stop looking at you."

"But you did a really great trick with that t-shirt," Hannah said, "You looked really hot and you got their attention."

Chloe looked at Hannah in surprise. She had kept the t-shirt on to hide her body and never expected it to do the exact opposite. Next to Hannah she saw Meagan nod in agreement and add, "She's right. You looked really hot with that wet t-shirt plastered all over you."

"But you don't what to wear that!" Taylor added pointing at the micro-bikini with small triangles and a dental floss thong Hannah was holding out "You know that and naked is practically the same thing?"

"Then it's perfect!" Hannah said putting it in her basket.

"I can't wear this." Chloe said wide eyed holding up a one-piece Taylor had just handed over to her, It had a small triangular buttcheek fabric that Chloe doubted would cover half her ass and the two vertical strips would definitely show off her cleavage, "People will see my.... my boobs" she almost whispered.

"That's the idea, show some and hint at the rest," Taylor smiled at the redhead.

Chloe groaned in frustration. Didn't Taylor realize how ugly she would look in those clothes? She wanted something to cover her up and look good not show off how weird and freakish her body was.

"I want to look nice, like you do," Chloe protested "not like a freak."

Taylor looked at Chloe with a mix of concern and sympathy. She put her arm around her shoulder and said "Chloe, you need to stop hiding behind those ugly baggy clothes. You're a very beautiful girl with a really fantastic body. The clothes your mother gave you are really going to make you shine!"

"Now you sound just like Zack!" Chloe said defensively

"And he is right! You are beautiful. You should listen to him more often." Taylor said,

"You should do him more often," Hannah smirked and opened her mouth, she pumped her fist in the air like she was stroking a dick into her mouth.

"You're just saying that to not hurt my feelings," Chloe whined to Taylor while she pretended to ignore Hannah's comment. She felt so embarrassed at what had happened at the beach that she wished the ground would swallow her up.

"Chloe you are beautiful and really hot." Taylor said glancing at Hannah "And I'm not the only one saying that."

"Yeah, You should have heard what the guys said," Hannah chirped in, "Let me see...." Hannah tried to remember, "the exact words were something like" 'Yeah, and her wet t-shirt... man what a show she gave us... dude, she's a real tease. She looked even better than the blondes', "And they made other comments like that about you and the rest of us."

Chloe was shocked that any of the guys would have actually said something like that about her. "They said that?"

"Yep." Taylor nodded.

"Even you got some comments with this tight little ass you got," Hannah said grabbing and squeezing Meagan's firm ass and making her squeal and jump around while Hannah tried to grab her other butt cheek. The two playfully hopped around while Hannah pretended to chase Meagan and she pretended to run away, each one getting in a few grabs at each other.

"They really said those things?" Chloe asked Taylor in surprise, "Wait, is she's making this up?"

"Nope!" Taylor said emphatically "Peter told us those were the exact words they."

"Peter said that?" Chloe said incredulously.

"No, Kurt said that." Taylor laughed at Chloe's confusion, "Peter tells us everything the other guys say about us."

"Kurt said that?!" Chloe said in surprise. She suddenly realized she liked the idea of the guys checking her out and admiring her, it made her feel warm inside. It was something she always wanted but never thought would ever really happen. "He liked how I looked?"

"He did and so did the rest of them. You really made an impression with the wet t-shirt. If I didn't know you better I'd say you did it on purpose, you were a real tease with it." Taylor nodded and then said, "Now go in there and let's see how they fit and then we got a few more things for you."

While Taylor dragged Chloe from one bathing suit to another Meagan silently admired the transformation Chloe seemed to go through. She remembered how Chloe had been a pretty average girl with pimples and braces when she moved back to Azure Rock and had seen grow into a very pretty girl. Meagan had felt bad the other day when she had helped Chloe's mother switch out her clothes at the last minute but now she agreed with Charlotte that it was the right thing to do, especially with Taylor here to help her.

Taylor was doing a much better job with Chloe than she had been able to help her friend in all these years. 'I guess I was just too busy trying to fit in with the misfits and finding others like me,' she thought while she looked in admiration at the new Chloe that was coming out. Taylor seemed to be a master picking and choosing just the right style and colors to fit Chloe, It was like watching one of those Makeover Show in real life and wondered if Charlotte hadn't also asked Taylor for help with Chloe.

Her train of thought was suddenly interrupted when she heard Hannah whisper to her "She looks really yummy doesn't she?"

"Yea she does," Meagan whispered back and then squealed when Hannah slapped her butt.

She couldn't believe that a girl as hot as Hannah would be interested in her. At first, she thought that she was just teasing her, baiting her into doing something only to throw it back in her face like a few other girls had done before to mock her and make fun of her in front of the other students but now she was beginning to think that maybe Hannah was really bi like the rumors said. Certainly, her actions with Trent, Peter, Taylor, and now with her tended to go in that direction.

Finally, after a few hours, Taylor had settled for a pair of one-piece suits for Chloe and a pretty risque bikini set that she swore Chloe was going to love wearing by the end of the week. Chloe was just too exhausted to protest anymore when they finally got around to the bikini section, and only half-hearted protested that she couldn't pay for the suits which Taylor insisted was a gift.

The four girls spent some time eating at the food court in the mall getting up to date on their lives and even remembering past histories. Finally, once they finished Taylor and Hannah once again walked them through the mall looking for another store Taylor wanted to take them.

Leaving the food court Chloe asked "Can we go back now? We need to check up on Zack."

"Zack is fine," Taylor said "Ashley or Gavin would have told us if he needed help."

"But he's not ok, he's hurt, I just know he's hurt," Chloe whined and looked over at Meagan and Hannah for some help.

"Maybe you could show him your new bathing suit when we get back and... finish what you started this morning?" Hannah teased her "I'm sure that will make him feel better after last night."

"Uugghh," Chloe groaned and asked Taylor "Why does everyone want me and Zack together?"

"It's because you two are so close to each other, and you got that 'thing' you two do together. It's really cute watching you two together." Taylor said.

"What's wrong with Zack?" Hannah said pointedly.

"Wha - Wha-" Chloe stuttered as he looked up at the blonde.

I said what's wrong with Zack?" Hannah repeated herself. "Is he smart?"

"Well... yea.." Chloe answered hesitantly not knowing where the question was heading. She felt herself shrink under Hannah's eyes.

"Is he a Kind? Handsome? Funny? Caring" Hannah threw the question one right after the other, barely giving Chloe time to nod in agreement.

"So.. what's wrong with Zack? He's smart, kind, funny, caring, handsome..." Hannah sighed dreamily with a sidelong glance at Taylor "... and your best friend... the only thing better would be if he had a really big hard--"

"-SSHH!" Taylor shooed Hannah away before putting an arm around Chloe "Don't worry. I know how you feel, I had to go through the same thing with me and Peter. They'll get over it... eventually." Taylor said trying to comfort the girl.

"So What? He's not good enough for you?" Hannah added, a slight edge in her voice caught their attention. "Sex is so good with a friend." Hannah added, "You don't have to worry about being good in bed, or sneaking out of bed, you can tell them what you want and they won't freak out on you." looking over at Taylor.

Chloe looked back and forth between the two older girls. wondering if they were still talking about Zack.

Taylor comforted her, "Don't worry too much about it. If it hasn't happened by now... it probably won't happen even if some people won't let it rest!" she ended looking at Hannah.

"I said I made a mistake," Hannah said defensively.

"Really? You never dropped it either." Taylor said.

"I said I made a mistake. I never said I was wrong." Hannah shot back.

"NO!" Chloe said in horror when she recognized the store. "No! No! No!"

"YES!" Hannah fist pumped the hair before grabbing Chloe's hand and dragging her into the store "Finally we get to the good stuff!"
