“Of course. And let’s get this harness, it’s got a slot for a vibrator so whoever is wearing it gets some fun too.”
“I feel out of my depth a little,” Luisa confessed. “I’ll go with what you think.”
In the end Amy chose a bullet vibrator to go with the harness and also a more traditional vibrator for them to have some extra fun with.
It was when they moved on to the restraints that Luisa’s eyes lit up. “I’ve secretly been keen to try this for a while…” she admitted.
“Really? Why haven’t you?”
"Men are men... I can't imagine a man being gentle with it. Women, definitely, but I've never had, well, that sort of relationship with a woman, so…”
"We're in a relationship?" Amy teased.
Luisa laughed. "I’m starting to think so, don't you?"
"Certainly feels like it..." Amy smiled back. "So... what do you like the look of?"
"How about these?" Luisa replied, picking up a pair of handcuffs with padding for the wrists.
"They'd work, how about we get a few things? Entirely your choice what, I'm game for absolutely anything in this section."
"Really? Anything?" Luisa replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Really anything."
Luisa took that to heart over the next few minutes, choosing an assortment of restraints including some wrist and ankle cuffs, and a blindfold. Each time she looked at Amy to gauge Amy's reaction, and Amy made sure to smile back encouragingly, partly because she wanted to make it as enjoyable as it could be, and partly because her mind was already racing ahead to what her and Luisa could do with her purchases.
"How about this?" Luisa asked, picking up a set of wrist to thigh restraints which wrapped around the thigh and then had cuffs closely attached for each wrist. "This could be fun too?"
"I'll be honest, the other things I've tried and I know we'll have fun. Those... they're new to me." Amy lowered her voice and looked at Luisa. "I like the look of them... can you try them on me first?"
Luisa blushed and grinned. "I think we'll buy them."
It didn't take long for them to pay at the till, and they found themselves out on the street again, the late morning sun high in the sky.
"I've got a few boring things to do this afternoon," Luisa said, "get my hair cut, that sort of thing. Are you ok for things to do until I see you later?"
"Definitely. There's a sun lounger at the hotel pool with my name on it, and I'll go to the gym too. Don't worry about me."
Luisa stepped close to Amy, putting her hands on Amy's hips. "Are we going to stay at my place later?" asked Luisa, looking into Amy's eyes.
"I guess so, is it closer to the party than my hotel?"
"Yes, I think so... I'd better take our shopping with me then." She kissed Amy. "You know, in case we want to use it later?"
"I think we should definitely use it later." Amy kissed Luisa this time. "I can't wait..."
Friending
Los Angeles
Amy waited round the corner from the bar, anxiety gnawing away at her. She’d arranged to meet Luisa outside so that they could go in to the party together, and she’d made sure that she was early so as not to keep Luisa waiting, but now she was starting to regret it because, well, this felt significant.
Meeting her friends… make or break in any budding romance, but an entirely new experience for Amy because in the past she’d always been the ‘she’ and it had been her friends that whichever guy she was seeing needed to impress. Being on the other side of it could charitably be described as interesting. She literally had no idea what to expect with Luisa's friends. She knew that a few of them were also Mexican, but that most were from the US and that all of her friends in LA were recent friends rather than childhood friends.
Luisa's guidance on dress code was to dress up for a party, so Amy had gone shopping that afternoon and chosen a dark red, abstract patterned long sleeved mini dress that the shop had called a skater dress, and she chose to wear that with nothing but a pair of high heels and some of her favourite lingerie underneath. She wasn't entirely sure whether Luisa was bringing her as a friend, as a 'friend', or openly as her date, but one way or another she wanted to make a good impression and knew that she had the figure to pull a look like that off. She wore her hair half down, half tied at the back, aiming for the sort of look that said effortless while clearly being far from it.
Luisa ended up arriving a few minutes late, and Amy saw her coming down the pavement from some distance off. As she got closer, Amy could see that Luisa was wearing a silver, sparkly dress, longer than Amy’s so that it went down to just above her knees but with no sleeves, tight around her waist, emphasising her figure. She was wearing high heels as well, and her hair was tied back.
