It was nice meeting you Aishe! She watched the other woman walk away and smiled at Alec. You know, I was only joking about trying those on.. I'm not about to walk around in a store in my underwear you know! She gave a half hearted swat at his head, not even aiming but just for emphasis.
Glancing at her watch she sighed. She'd already been in here forever and Louis was in the car waiting. She was never going to hear the end of it, even with leaving some warming packs in his carrier he would complain she was trying to freeze him to death. The spoiled little monster. She'd have to get him treats to make it up to him.
Seeing that Alec had things well under control, she scooped up a couple of adorable pink and blue gingham check sets she'd missed. They were just too cute not to get. Now all she needed was someone to wear them for... ah well.
You look like you can handle this now so since I left my rather spoiled cat waiting in the car I had better run... But you and I need to have a chat sometime soon. I'm looking for some umm.. business contacts, need to get back to work you know. We should have dinner some time and talk shop.
After giving him a parting squeeze on the arm, she made her way to the counter and waited while the beamingly happy saleslady rung up her charges. At the door she turned and waved goodbye before hurrying out to her car.
(( Amby out! ))
Replacing the Lace (open, active)
He was a pilgrim in an unholy land.
Alec strode, red as a streetlight, into Victoria's Secret. If there was one place in the world he'd never have expected it to be, this would be it. The place that would be higher on the list was a shop in New Orleans near the former location of Storyville that specialized in women's solo erotic devices. Taking that into consideration, his shade of red dropped to that of boiled crab.
Wincing a bit when a very chipper salesperson greeted him, he blushed some more, waved slightly while cowering away from her a bit, smiled weakly, and skittered toward another random area of the store. Pulling out the tag, he looked at a series of completely meaningless information. Staring around, he walked toward the bra section and started looking for something approximating Ginnie's bra.

After watching both women leave him safely alone in the store, he breathed a sigh of relief. Aishe had actually been helpful, and Amberelle had been kidding. Though the ribbing was pretty heavy, everything had turned out all right. Really, it could have gone immensely worse. Reeeeeeally.
Wandering a bit more through the store, Alec also selected an amazingly soft, full length bathrobe. Opting for white, since the other colors were all pastel, he added it to his growing bundle. Spotting one more item, he grabbed a emerald green lace bra that was nearly transparent and had a front clasp.
Walking to the sales counter, he placed down the items. Smirkingly, the checkout clerk looked like she was trying to restrain herself from a comment. Almost silently, they completed the transaction, and Alec escaped back into a world that made more sense.
Heading back toward his vehicle, he stopped at a place with fresh cut flowers to pick up a rose as well. Content and hopeful that the purchases would go over well, he drove to the Mullar Residence to get well fed.
