Chapter 2; Shopping & Starbucks

I woke up the next day, feeling the need to go shopping because I took most of my things home with me before coming to LA again.

I got out of bed and made myself ready for the day before leaving my small room and entering the kitchen/ dining room where Andre was eating breakfast while reading a magazine.

"Where is Lauren?" I asked him. Lauren was his girlfriend of four years. "She's at work. Today's our day off what do you want to do?" he asked me.

You probably wonder why I'm living with my manager. Well, my mom lives in Austin, Texas where I grew up and I'm not allowed to live alone just yet so Andre offered me to live with him and Lauren.

"Ouh, I wanna go shopping really bad," I grinned happily, making Andre groan. He hated shopping with me because I was really picky and slow at deciding what to buy.

"Fine," he sighed after arguing with me for good ten minutes. I grinned and I ate breakfast before we were off to the mall. I put my sunglasses on but I already saw Andre walking towards two of my bodyguards.

I groaned and followed him as I kept my head down.

"That wasn't the deal," I glared at Andre but I know that they would probably be helpful. "I don't want to die while shopping," he told me, making the bodyguards chuckle.

"Mila, nice to meet you," I stuck our my hands for them to shake. They introduced themselves as Matt & James and were in their late forties I believe.

We began our shopping trip in Forever 21 and I tried on hundreds of clothes. Suddenly I heard a scream. My head snapped towards a girl with her mother. She ran up to me asking, "oh my god! are you Jamila Carver?"

I nodded, making her scream again. "Can I take a picture with you?" she asked excitedly. "Sure," I smiled and her mother took out her phone to snap a picture of me & her daughter.

"Thank you so much. I love you," the girl said before hugging me. I smiled at her and wished them a good day before continuing to look through the clothes again.

I ended up buying a few things and we made our way to the Nike store afterwards. I got stopped a lot of times and the more people noticed me the more crowded it got.

Soon I was mobbed from hundreds of fans and my bodyguards tried to make a way for me. The thing is we didn't even make it to the Nike store, yet. Mall cops came to our help and soon I was safely inside the store.

My phone vibrated and I took it out to see one of my friends from Texas calling me. "We'll be stuck here for quiet some time know," Andre made himself comfortable on a little sofa that was in the shoe section.

A few customers freaked out and I did a few pictures with them, totally forgetting my incoming call from earlier. The staff politely asked them to leave if they were done and they did without arguing after they all had a picture with me or an autograph.

I tried on a few pair of shoes and went to the clothing section next to try on hoodies, shirts, sweatpants and tights. I bought a lot of stuff because like I said earlier, I left basically all of my stuff in Texas.

I pulled out my phone and went on snapchat before snapping a picture of the crowd in front of the Nike store. I posted it with an heart emoji because I love my fans to death.

We had to wait in the store for good two hours before they let us out of the back and towards the parking lot. We ran to Andre's car and drove off as the crowd was running out of the mall and towards us.

"I guess, online shopping is my new friend."

Andre laughed and drove to McDonald's. I looked at him as we drove through Drive In. He held up his hands in surrender, "I'm hungry."
