What masculinity Jack had told him to not go near the place. It was pink! Entirely pink! With lollies and sweeties and candies all on display in the window. Besides, he didn’t like sweets that much. Jack observed the store in silence as Katelynn pointed at it.
Roxy, too, peered at the store before snuffing her nose at it.
“You want to go in?” Jack asked, forgoing his withering masculinity to keep his girlfriend happy.
Her sweet tooth was calling, her eyes looking into his and saying ‘yes oh god yes’ but her mouth smiled nervously, trying to fight the cravings for something sugary. She would become hyper anyway, remembering the time she had eaten ice cream with Aqua.
“It’s..well..it smells nice…but we can go look elsewhere and keep going.”
Still she eyed the caramel popcorn in the machine considering she could smell it. It was heavenly.
“I probably should have brought my camera so we could take pictures together..maybe one of those photo booths?”
“You sure? I know how much you l-like your sweet things.” Jack said quietly, looking at the store again, still wishing it wasn’t so gosh darn pink. You just couldn’t keep your man card if you walked in there, even with a woman on your arm. And Jack was barely holding onto his man card as it was.
At the suggestion of the photo booth though, he glanced around, hoping to spot one. They always had those sorts of thing down here, right? …least he hoped so. He’d never come here before.
