Lilah couldn’t help but notice the look of pride and love that Wes had on his face when he looked at Max. If she ever had a kid, would she look at him or her like that? Well, she was getting to the point where she probably was closing in on that time where she couldn’t have kids anymore. She really wasn’t sure exactly when that happened. She never believed in such a thing as a ‘ticking biological clock’ until she started seeing Max on a semi-regular basis ( ... )

"Lellow! Lellow! Lellow!" Max squealed, making Wesley smile painfully at one of the sales women looking at the boy disapprovingly. No doubt the manager who would be far more at home at an actual ladies store. Would this have been the usual children's store Wesley would be less worried about the noise his son was producing ( ... )

Lilah could obviously give a damn if anyone thought that Max was being a little loud. It was a damn shop for kids, for gods' sake. Did they expect children to be well behaved, considering the tiny clothing they carried in here? Children that little tended to get easily excited. Besides, Lilah could buy these people off easily if they got too fussy. That would put a sock in their mouthss quick if they said anything ( ... )

Sarcasm was lost on this woman. Not surprising, most Americans, Wesley had found, didn't seem to grasp his sarcasm. It made him appreciate those afternoon tea's with Giles even more, were they'd sit around and talk about old teachers they had both known. It was actually mocking them, but one wouldn't know it if one didn't get sarcasm ( ... )

It wasn't that sarcasm was lost on Lilah in particular, but she just liked to ignore it to infuriate the user. Besides, Wes was very amusing when he got flabbergasted or frustrated. Now, she didn't mean angry, because he could be very scary when he was angry, but he was hilarious when he was flustered in some way or another. Did Lilah abuse the ease it took to frustrate him for laughs? Only sometimes. Did she also enjoy it when others exasperated him? All the time ( ... )

"Yes, I'm finding that out," Wesley muttered, giving a giggling Max a scolding look. The look turned sheepish apologetic as he glanced at the sales woman. She had a look of utter disapproval on her face but it soon turned to what Wesley referred to as the 'tooth paste' smile as soon as Lilah looked her way. Cordelia was good at that smile and it looked a thousand times *less* fake then the one this woman was currently sporting ( ... )

"Actually, I wasn't looking at the price tag," Lilah pointed out to him. She never looked at price tags when she shopped. It was something that, frankly, she hadn't had to do in such a long time that now she barely noticed the slips of paper dangling off clothing until she removed them when she got home with her purchases. She bet that Cordelia Chase wished she could still do that ( ... )

"I figured as much," Wesley muttered, grabbing Max hand before the boy could grab some even more expensive garment from the rack. Well, not so much a rack as a-- Well, Wesley wasn't certain what to call it, since nothing here really would come from just an ordinary rack would it? It was the sort of store Lilah would shop in because she knew Cordelia would know. It was as if women were able to just look at a piece of clothing and know where it was bought ( ... )

Maybe that was a *part* of the reason that Lilah wanted to shop here. She knew that it would drive Cordelia up the wall to know that *she* had bought Max nice things that Cordelia herself could not afford. However, there was also a bigger reason: she actually liked Wes and Max. Honestly, probably the only two people around that she liked. So, she wanted to indulge them. She didn't have any family to speak up to shower presents upon. So, Max and Wes got the bulk of that urge when she occasionally got it. Like now.

"He has old shirts and shorts, since I know you haven't went shopping for summer clothes yet this year," she told him. "I'm willing to bet that they no longer fit the beautiful growing boy that you have." Yes, flatter him some to get him to loosen up. It only helped that she was also telling the truth. "And yes, your suits were nice. All two of them." Oh, Lilah had an eye for detail, and knew that he had recycled suits like that. "And you need some sort of vacation wear, which *does* include a swimsuit, even if it never ( ... )

"Some of them might fit," Wesley protested just for the sake of protest. Though he was to busy preening just a little bit at the 'beautiful boy' remark. Now, Wesley wasn't a fool and he was completely aware that he was quite possibly a smidgen bias where Max was concerned. And while he really did not want to turn into one of those fathers who would say that their child was the most beautiful in the whole world? Wesley was convinced that Max was most certainly in the top 10. And the top 5 for cutest ( ... )

vicious_bmantle February 12 2010, 21:25:04 UTC

She did see him relax a tiny bit when she called Max a ‘beautiful boy,’ and was glad of it. Lilah just hoped that Wes would get a little bit of relaxation out of this vacation as well. He did seem to be walking around with an extra stick up his ass lately, although she knew exactly why. She just hoped that a cruise would get rid of it, or at least loosen it a bit. Anything would be good for Wesley at this point ( ... )

"People wore jeans in Los Angeles all the time," he protested, a small pout threatening to come out. Really, first the suits and now his jeans weren't good? It was like shopping with Cordelia! Wear this, Wesley. Try that, Wesley. No you're so not getting that, Wesley. While tact and subtlety were a lost cause on Cordelia when shopping, it seemed Lilah was trying it that way ( ... )

Even if she couldn't get him to buy a pair while he was here with her, she'd just figure out his size and buy a pair and just bring them with her, anyway. She had half a mind to buy something completely obnoxious like orange Hawaiian print or something just to be a bit of a bitch about it. He'd have to get into the cruise ship's swimming pool to play with Max, after all, wouldn't he? But no, she'd probably just pick out a solid colored pair, maybe blue or brown. Black would stand out too obviously against his more than likely ghostly skin. Now, getting them on him on the cruise would be a different story, but that hurdle could be jumped when they got to it ( ... )

"Something to eat it is then," Wesley nodded, quite happy to take a break from that blasted thing called... shopping. Weather it was grocery shopping, clothes shopping or any sort of shopping excluding that for books and weaponry was something Wesley dreaded. He already hadn't liked it much upon arrival in the United States. But to be honest he never really had gone shopping all that much ( ... )

vicious_bmantle March 5 2010, 03:29:13 UTC

She knew that he was just happy to get away from clothes shopping. Why did men have a pure hatred of shopping, she wondered. You got to buy stuff for yourself. What was so terrible about that? Lilah didn't get it, but Lilah loved to shop. Some might say that she was filling her life with things instead of people, but those people were just jealous of what she could afford ( ... )

"Actually that's not true," Wesley said as he bend down to root through the bags underneath the buggy. "There are little gems of places to eat hidden here. Such as this one, where they have excellent quality, fresh food ah!" He emerged again with Feigenbaum, the stuffed toy he had put away safely so Max wouldn't loose it ( ... )
