Can Nicholas give Rebecca a Christmas she?ll never forget?
Shoving my hands roughly into the pcokets of my suit trousers I muttered my annoyance, threw a filthy look at the apologetic saleswoman, and then strode from the department store empty-handed, back out into the main walkway of Westfield shopping centre.
Huffing out a long breath, I walked across to the balustrades and leaned forwards so I could take a moment to clear my head. All arounf me happy Christmas shoppers were chatting jovially as they shuffled past me laden with bags of goodies and gift-wrapped presents. Christmas decorations hung from every available surface in sight. It was quite sickly, really; icicle lights twinkling from the banisters, huge Christmas trees lining the open shopping area overloaded with garish baubles and tinsel, and the annoying strains of 'Jingle Bell Rock' filling the air for the fifth bloody time since I'd arrived three hours ago.
Pushing my hair from my face I turned and leant back on the railing as I considered what to try next. My entire purpose for this trip had been to get a Christmas present for my girlfriend Rebecca; but after traipsing around every suitable outlet in the goodforsaken place I still had nothing. I'd seen clothes that would suit her, jewellery she would no doubt like, and evern handbags that would have been OK, but they weren't wow presents, and seeing as this was the first time in my screwed-up life that I was buying a Christmas present for a woman - not just any woman, but the woman that I loved - I wanted it to be perfect. Shaking my head I chewed on the inside of my lip; at this rate Rebecca would have a big fat nothing under the bloody tree on Christmas morning.
Pushing off from the railing I turned in search of a coffee. Perhaps a java hit would kick my brain into gear, but as I took my first few steps toward Starbucks my eyes caught on a shop window to my left. Pausing, an idea began to form in my mind. Walking up to the glass I scanned the contents as a smile formed on my lips. I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of this earlier - it was perfect.
