Love Without Rules (Contemporary Romance) by Kate Goldman Read Free Book Online Page B

a very expensive, high-end boutique, which was famous for its wildly expensive price tags and luxury fabrics. And if that didn’t scare him away, there was still the idea of going shopping. Scott hated shopping and had always refused to go with her to any store.
     
    But unfortunately for her, Drew had no intention of leaving.
     
    “Great, what’re you looking for?” The two strolled into the store. To everyone else, they looked like the perfect couple.
     
    “Maybe a new dress. Or jacket.” Sydney began to browse, running her hands along the fabrics, noticing all the intricate designs that cost a fortune.
     
    “Just want to spend money, huh?”
     
    “Maybe.” She smiled a little. “I haven’t shopped in a long time, there are many things I’m missing.”
     
    “I’m sure you have a closet full of clothes already, do you really need more?” Drew said jokingly before he dropped her hand, and fumbled within the huge rack of clothes for a couple seconds, before pulling out a gorgeous dress. “This would look good on you.”
     
    Sydney took one look at it and realized that he was right. It was her size, and was made of a beautiful blue chiffon material. It was somewhat formal, but still really gorgeous. “Try it on!” Drew urged as he once again took her hand within his and pulled her towards the changing room. He didn’t stop even though she protested. “Just the one item, please,” he said to the woman who was attending to the changing rooms, who took the dress with a smile.
     
    Sydney shot Drew a mildly amused yet annoyed look before entering the changing room. She dressed quickly, and found that the dress fit perfectly. “Come out and show me!” Drew exclaimed happily.
     
    God, he acts like we’re dating already! Sydney thought incredulously. She could still recall how shy and how introverted Scott had been in the first few weeks of their relationship and was completely surprised by Drew’s actions. But she did find herself beginning to warm up to him. It was simply impossible not to, due to his friendly nature and outgoing personality.
     
    “Come on!”
     
    “Alright, alright, I’m coming…” Sydney pushed open the door and stepped out.
     
    “Wow.” The sight of her in the floor-length dress was truly jaw-dropping for Drew. “You look amazing.”
     
    Sydney blushed prettily as she pushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “Thank you. You don’t think it looks a little wide here, though?” She pinched at her stomach. Drew laughed and shook his head. His eyes continued to rake across her body, clearly enjoying what he saw. He was acting like a teenaged boy, like this was the first time he had been alone with a woman.
     
    “Are you going to buy it?” he asked, continuing to admire her figure.
     
    “It’s crazy expensive, and I have a dress in a similar style. So… I’m going to have to say no,” she said in a sad voice.
     
    “Sensible answer.” He nodded.
     
    She smiled before heading into the changing room and switched back into her normal clothes, which flattered her just as much as the dress did. “Thank you,” she said as she handed the dress back to the attendant.
     
    “Where to next?” Drew asked.
     
    “I do need some new things for winter. But seriously, you don’t have to come with me to shop for small things like that.” Even though she said that, she secretly felt like she wanted him to stay. Being alone would only make her think of him . She was also beginning to really enjoy Drew’s company, even though they had only known each other for a day.
     
    Drew seemed to be able to sense this. “Nonsense. I’d be happy to shop with you. Otherwise, you’ll get lonely.” Drew laughed. They both headed towards the large Target at the end of the mall. She wanted to get a nice thick blanket, and then some presents. She was now living on her own, and wanted to buy some things for herself instead of always buying gifts and other things for Scott.
     
    The
