Thomas shoved a bra at Scott’s chest. “Here, go try this one… It’s that, or I gag you with it.”
Scott took the bra and trudged off to the changing rooms.
They ended up buying two sets of underwear. One black. One blue.
Thomas insisted they stop by a jewellery store to accessorise, and Scott didn’t complain.
Thomas bought him pearls,realpearls.
“I know they’re for the shoot, but can I put them on now?” Scott pressed his hands together, begging.
Thomas nodded dismissively and walked away.
Scott couldn’t stop touching the pearls around his throat as they headed back to the car.
“At least this necklace isn’t going to shock me.”
“Shock you?”
“I mean, it’s not a shock to me. It’s – I love it.”
Thomas smirked. “The necklace that client of yours put round your neck was an abomination.”
“It sure was,” Scott whispered.
“Piss yellow.” Thomas shook his head. “What the hell was he thinking?”
Scott paused by a shoe shop, his eyes growing wide at all the high heels on display.
“We need shoes,” Scott said.
“No, we don’t. The underwear is fine on its own.”
Scott tugged his new necklace. “It was you who started accessorising, come on.”
He led the way into the shop and smiled at the shop attendant. She blanked him in favour of gawping at Thomas.
“Hi,” Scott said, jumping to break her line of sight with Thomas.
She seemed to come back to herself and blurted, “Hi.”
“Can you help me? I’m a size eight. I don’t want to go too high because I’ve never walked in heels before – not that I need to walk, I just need to masturbate in them.”
The woman recoiled with a gasp.
“Wait,” Scott said, clutching his head. “Byin them, I don’t mean inside them, I just mean, I need to be wearing them while I touch myself.”
“Christ, Scott,” Thomas growled. He grabbed the back of Scott’s hoodie and pulled him away. “I don’t know what the charge will be if your weirdness kills someone, but let’s not risk finding out.”
“Ha. Funny.” Scott tugged his hoodie free of Thomas’s grip, then followed him out of the shop. “Can we say hello to Zara and Jade on the way past?”
Thomas huffed. “If we fucking have to.”
“You’re such a charmer.”
Scott led the way and pushed into the shop.
Zara beamed at him, then opened the back door to call out, “Scott’s here!”
