Elli had decided he needed a some retail therapy after all the drama that had been surrounding him lately. And what better place to shop than the mall, right? Well, considering the nearest high-dollar places were two hours away from the small town he inhabited. Sometimes he questioned his reasonings for moving here from his home in NYC. Of course he'd introduced a once-forbidden lifestyle to the back-ass-wards town of Lipton, but at what cost to his own loves? Either way Elli had picked the mall as the best place to try to get his mind off of things. As soon as he arrived in his custom pink BMW eyes glanced in his direction, though basically everyone know who drove that car. He slipped out of the driver's seat taking care not to scratch up his Christian Loubtin ankle boots. He was dressed as a girl, as per his usual 'going out' style dictated. Today he'd decided on a black tank top that read; "Sex, Drugs, and Jesus Christ" in a red print layered under an old school, black Juicy Couture hoodie. This he had paired with a pair of ultra low cut, skin-tight girls skinny pants. A silk scarf was tied around his neck which blended well with the smoky look he wore on his eyes. He slammed the door loudly enough to startle the people staring from their car next to him, sliding his Betsey Johnson purse up onto his shoulder.

Elli ran a freshly manicured hand through his hair, ruffling it slightly from the flat-ironed look he wore today. He was determined to find something new to add to his wardrobe. Being a trust fund baby he wasn't used to having to wear the same things for weeks at a time. And a fresh check was in the bank that Mommy Dearest had sent him for a very, very late Birthday present. It was fifteen thousand cold, hard cash. Which he would most likely blow through half of should this shopping trip be worth anything. He slipped on his black Balenciaga oversized sunglasses as he headed for the doors of the mall. His heels made a loud click, click as he walked and he silently thanked the fashion gods for inheriting his mothers small feet. It made it so much easier for shoe shopping, one of his all-time favorite things to do. Eyes turned towards him and whispers abounded as he moved through the doors of the mall, landing in the middle of the action. A soft smile played on his plum-coated, pouty lips as he slipped the sunglasses up on top of his head, false eyelashing making his blue eyes pop, and made a bee line for Macy's. Elli's steps were slow but sure, his hips moving in the way you'd expect from a runway model. He glanced around him as he walked, catching a few glares but mostly curious interest on other peoples faces.

He arrived at Macy's and nearly screamed in uncontained joy at the first thing he saw. It was a pair of Calvin Klein platform heels in a bright leopard print. He quickly located Matty's shoe sized and grabbed up a pair. He looked around and spotted a matching bangle which he also grabbed. After shopping around a bit longer he located a bright red clutch that he could use at his next event. Ontop of all this he bought himself a pair of shoes and some more pairs of knee high socks. Stopping at the Sephora counter he bought himself some new O.P.I pink nail polish, some new mascara, and a bottle of the Miss Dior Cheri perfume he knew that Matty loved on him so much. His final stop was at the high-end jewelry counter where he bought a heart-shaped pendant with 'xo i love you xo' inscribed on a silver chain. He was exhausted by the time he lugged everything out of the store that he decided to stop in the food court to get something to eat. It had been hours since last ate anything and he was exceptionally thirsty. Though he knew no hard liquor would be available he settled on a diet coke and a burger. He managed not to drop anything as he spotted an open table and sat down. He pulled out his iPhone with it's sparkly black case and texted Matty to tell him that he'd be home later and had gotten him some presents. Finally he sank his teeth daintly into the burger, the taste sending goosebumps over his skin since it was a rare treat for him to eat something that would go straight to his thighs.

He sipped at his Diet Coke and watched the people go by. He checked his black watch, sighing as he had way too much time to kill. Matty was supposed to be meeting someone today though wouldn't tell Elli who it was. Oh well, he wasn't Matty's babysitter, in fact it was much more the other way around. Elli suddenly felt very small and alone as he realized he would be without his Mattykins all day. He resisted the urge to send another text to Matty to tell him that he was upset, since he knew Mattykins needed his own independence. Something he had never really learned, never really had to learn. But today he would do what he did best shop, be fabulous, and maybe score some drugs.
