You do wear a lot of black and green, I said.Maybe they think you’re in camouflage.
I’m wearing pink today.
Is that your shirt color or lingerie color?
I don’t have pink lingerie.
We should change that.
We?
As your friend, you should have a pink set.
So says Eros. Isn’t pink your favorite color?
My favorite color is whatever shade of lipstick you’re wearing.
Today is a bright reddish coral. Forever Dior.
Dior lipstick?
I splurge on good makeup.
What else will you splurge on?
Books. Lingerie. Staple clothing like jackets or jeans. Practical things.
I didn’t know lingerie was considered practical.
Expensive lingerie is essential when your tits are like mine, she said.A good bra is hard to come by. And sexy lingerie that actually fits my figure is exhausting to look for.
Is this why you save money? For books and lingerie?
What else is there to spend good money on?
I scoffed at her joke as I took another sip of coffee.Will you be in the office after lunch?
I have a work excursion with Ezzie this afternoon.
What’s a work excursion?
It means we take the afternoon off to go shopping and call it ‘work.’
Will you send me pictures?I asked.
What exactly do you think I’m buying?
It sounds like you’re buying pink lingerie.
I’ll see what they have, she said.
I smiled as I sat my phone down and stretched my arms back, groaning with the feel of my muscles begging to move. I kept looking at my phone and waiting for it to light back up with another message from her, though after it remained dark for ten minutes, I finally picked it back up.
Will I see you today?I asked.
It was another five minutes of anxiously waiting for her response before she wrote back,I don’t think so.
Tomorrow?
