weakness. Back in Dallas, she could never let loose, mainly because Sydney was such a crazy shopper too. Someone had to keep the house from looking like one of those hoarder houses.
She finds a few more things. Camping might not be fun, but shopping for camping supplies sure is. Who knew that you could by a portable potty tent? She gets easily distracted and Jackson steers her away from several things probably they don't need. Like the port a-potty tent.
“ Ooh, do you think we'll need another two heated polar blanket? Will we be camping?” she asks enthusiastically.
He groans, “My god woman, you're a shopping monster! You do know there are stores in Montana too?”
Sadie is deeply offended. She only bought a new Montana winter wardrobe, a new makeup set, twenty-five pairs of shoes, and a lot of random stuff that caught her attention.
“ Hey, I get cold easily! I need to be prepared! Besides, I got some great stuff for you too,” Sadie says a tad bit defensively.
She bought a bunch of stuff she knows he won't like. Even skinny jeans.
Jackson groans again, “I am not wearing those hipster clothes.”
Now he is just being ungrateful.
Sadie shakes her head, “Fine, we'll go,” she remembers her hair, “just as soon as I get some hair dye.”
“ I like the red,” he says.
“ Too memorable,” she explains.
They find a beauty supply store and Sadie gets a few new hair colors.
At the checkout, Jackson grabs a box and laughs, “What are you going to turn into a rainbow?”
Sadie glares at him, still offended by his earlier comments, “Maybe I will,” she says.
Grabbing the shopping bag she hurries ahead of him towards the parked truck.
“ Sadie, hold on. I think your shopping skills are amazing, really. If there is a shopping contest out there, you'd win,” he is obviously just humoring her, but she decides to push him a bit farther.
Turning she asks hopefully, “So, you'll wear the awesome things I got you?”
His expression is priceless, he swallows, then nods, “Sure, um but not soon.”
Poor Jackson, he apparently hates 'hipster clothes'.
Sadie has to admit that simple jeans and a T-shirt really work for him.
“ Alright, let's get going,” she says.
They load everything, well Jackson loads everything into the truck, and they take off.
“ So,” she says innocently, adjusting the radio, “how do you feel about boy bands?”
His answer makes her laugh.
Chapter Sixteen
Jackson
“ I want two number ones, a number six, ten chicken nuggets, large fries, and a diet Coke” Sadie is leaning over him, at his window, screaming into the drive thru screen, she turns and asks, “What do you want?”
He can't help it, he laughs, “You're going to eat all that?”
She is lean and obviously has no complex about out eating him. His only serious girlfriend, back in high school, had never taken a bite in front of him. Hell, even Trevor always complained about the women he dated not eating when on dates.
She narrows her eyes at him, but it loses its effect since she's practically sitting on his lap.
“ I'm starving. Now, order,” she says menacingly, before returning to her seat.
He orders and pulls up at the window. Before the lady can hand him the bags, she's climbing over him again.
“ Extra ketchup, extra barbecue,” she barks out at the baffled lady.
Then she sits back in her seat waiting calmly.
“ You scared her,” Jackson shakes his head in disapproval as he hands her the food.
She just shrugs and digs into her food, which with the few glances he catches of her eating is pretty terrifying.
“ Can you pass me my burger?” he asks.
The sun is setting as they enter the highway. The temperature is going to drop, he'll need to stop and get a coat out from his bag, Sadie is already wearing hers.
“ Sure,” she unwraps his burger and passes it to him.
In a surprisingly short time, she's done eating.
She turns to him, “Fast
