24*Adam's party is November 8th. I have one week left to find him something. *
Thought CeeCee as she searched the mall for something perfect for Adam.
"You know, none of this looks like Adam." she said to Suze who was looking longingly at the door.
"Come on CeeCee! We've been here for three and a half hours!" Suze moaned as CeeCee turned back to a steering wheel cover she'd looked at fifteen minutes ago, than dropping it in disgust.
"Well you took the obvious present with that Linkin Park stuff."
"Yeah, I did, didn't I?" said Suze "Just buy something! Anything! He's a guy-he won't care!"
"I know, I know. I just want to get him something . special."
"You're creative! Just make something!"
And then an idea hit her. It would be perfect!
"OK, OK. Let's go." CeeCee said, trying not to hint that she'd gotten the most brilliant idea.
* * * *
All that week Adam tried to find out what they had gotten him. At lunch on Friday, he tried to casually turn the conversation from how annoying Suze's mom was to cars.
"So, when you were in the Car Shop" he said, picking a random store, "did you see those new seat covers?"
CeeCee knew what he was doing. If she said she had, he would think she had gotten him something from the Car Shop. If she said she hadn't, he would think that his present didn't have anything to do with cars and would move onto something else.
"Yeah, the leather ones? They were pretty cool." she replied listlessly.
Adam grinned in triumph. *Gawd, he is cute.*
"Aha! So you were in the car shop!" he said, jumping up and knocking over his soda. "I bet you got me that red steering wheel cover didn't you?" He was now trying to dry his soda-soaked pants.
CeeCee covered her mouth and tried to look shocked.
"How did you know?" asked Suze, trying not to giggle.
Adam spent the rest of lunch that day ranting about how he could read CeeCee like a book. *Thank God that's not true* she thought, thinking of how she'd had a crush on him for the last three years.
That's it for now! If you liked it tell me so I'll keep writing! If no one reviews, I will quit writing and move to a shack out in the woods. ( PLEASE REVIEW!
