An assortment of sex toys!

Daniela Grey

While Aubrianne tried on the options she picked out, and she put aside what she chose to purchase. What she discarded, she gave back to the rep.

My hackles are raised by that feeling of being watched. I casually drifted away from Aubrianne under the pretense of looking at other items as I discretely scanned the store we were currently in.

However, nothing stood out of the ordinary, people bustling around simply conversing or store hopping like we were.

I went back to Aubrianne's side, and they went on like that for about twenty more minutes in this store, moving from section to section, browsing, choosing out options, more squeals of excitement from Aubrianne, more interruptions from Daniel asking Aubrianne's opinion.

More of my looking around uncomfortably but trying my hardest not to alarm anyone. Then we were ready to cash out and move on to the next store.

We strolled for a minute and came upon 'Mystique.' "Let's check out Mystique," I said, directing them to the store on our right.

I inwardly laugh as I watch Daniel walk straight into the store ahead of us, and he walks right back out. I knew he hated these stores— it's a lingerie store with an assortment of sex toys, sex games, lingerie, you name it.

Daniel told us he would walk ahead and check out a few stores on the right.

Aubrianne says, "OK, cool, we will catch up," as she walks toward Mystique.

"Or maybe not," I said with a shrug.

Aubrianne blushed as she stepped in. I watched her look around, and then she looked closely at the front stand.

A four-shelved circular-shaped glass stand and some beautiful thong underwear were lying around casually on each layer. Lace material in many different patterns, shapes, and colors—blue, purple, rose pink, light pink, bright pink, red, white, black, and more.

There was a twenty percent off sign.

Aubrianne grabbed a basket and went crazy, starting with the thong stand, then moving around the store, checking out section after section, choosing all she would like to have, and I must say I am intrigued.

Even though my attention was split in two.

She got a pack of cards with sex positions and dares, an egg-shaped vibrator, some lingerie pieces, a pair of handcuffs, a whip, the bondage apparatus, a police lingerie suit, a nurse suit, a Catwoman suit, some heated massage oil...............

At this point, I was utterly speechless, and when she saw my reaction, she said with a shrug, "I need to get laid, and there are things I was always curious about and would like to try...sometime..." she trailed off.

My heart raced at the idea of Aubrianne wanting to try things, but with a male or a female?

Nevertheless, we cashed out of Mystique and continued moving from store to store, doing pretty much the same—browsing, choosing, trying on— I am still leading the way.

Three hours later, we were still on the ground floor. Daniel left us about seven stores ago and went up to the lounge on the fifth floor.

Observing Aubrianne closely as I was, I could tell she was starting to tire out, so I suggested we head up to the food court, grab something to eat, and make our way home.

Aubrianne agreed, and I called Daniel and told him to meet me at the food court.

Aubrianne told me she was thankful she could get all she was looking for and a tiny bit more.

Though we visited many stores on the ground floor, Aubrianne had specific looks in mind; in the end, she got all she needed. As far as I was concerned, I was delighted as long as she was happy.

We got to the food court, deciding what we wanted to eat, and then we made our way to the respective lines.

Aubrianne and I got the same. We enjoyed some Chinese-style food, and Daniel went to get Bar B Que.

"Daniela? Hiii, fancy seeing you here the way you sped out of study hall like it was about to burst into flames." Julia's voice sounded from behind us.

Turning to look at her, she was all smiles with a female friend. Julia is one of my classmates, and she was actually one of the three I teamed up with for study hall earlier today.

"Wait, did you rush out here for the sale going on today? Most stores have twenty percent off today." She then asks and informs us.

"No, no, I was actually heading out to meet these two," pointing between Aubrianne and Daniel over by the bar b que stand. "At the dealership, and we came here after. We didn't know about the sale till we got here," I said casually, shrugging.

Daniel, being the ever-inquisitive brother, came traipsing over. Then pointing at Aubrianne and Daniel, I introduced them both, as Julia had never met my brother either.

I shook my head as I recalled wrapping up study hall, and I contacted Daniel to find out exactly where they were, and it turned out they were still at the dealership.

Then I hastily said goodbye to my three classmates whom I had been teamed with for study hall right after. I hurriedly packed my books and stationery in my bag and practically ran out of class.

What is it about this girl that both my brother and I have been vying for her attention all evening? Clearly, I won when he couldn't take it anymore and went up to the fifth floor.

Nevertheless, I trailed off after introducing Julia...as I did not know her friend's name.

Julia greeted Daniel and Aubrianne, shaking their hands, and said, "This is my friend Talya. Talya, this is everyone."

We collectively greeted Talya. Julia then looked at me and said, "nice to see you, Daniela, and don't forget study hall tomorrow."

"Never, I will be there," I told her. I have to put in the work because I advanced a year in college, which means I will be starting med school a year earlier, and my goal is to skip a year in med school, which takes a lot of studying.

I will be moving straight to senior year when summer is up. So, during this summer vacation, I will be doing lots and lots of studying and researching.

"OK, great, see you tomorrow, have a wonderful night, and nice meeting you both," she said the last part to Daniel and Aubrianne.

"Bye, guys" Talya gave a small wave.

A few moments later, it was our turn to order, and Daniel had to wait for another person. Aubrianne and I placed our orders and went to one of the booths to wait.

Daniel soon joined us, and we had light conversations till our meal was ready.

After collecting, we made our way to Daniel's baby, stuffing the trunk and the backseat with all our stuff.

Yes, I got stuck in the backseat again, and this time, I had lots of company, and soon we were on our way to Aubrianne's home and then ours.

On the car ride home, we carried on with more light conversations and even brought up the club on Thursday night, and Aubrianne mentioned wanting to invite her neighbor Kirrah.

And that was all I could think of for the rest of the ride. Who is this, Kirrah? Is Kirrah someone she took an interest in? Is Aubrianne into girls? For the life of me, I cannot tell.

I can't get an affirmative beat on that. Maybe my nervousness around Aubrianne is clouding my judgment. Does she like me? Perhaps as a friend?

I may be barking up the wrong tree. Perhaps Aubrianne was nice and sweet to everyone she met...

As soon as we dropped off Aubrianne, Daniel returned to the car after assisting Aubrianne with her bags. I asked him before telling him my observation of being followed.

"Who is she?" Daniel, knowing where I was coming from, clearly not missing a beat, simply replied, "Kirrah and her husband live not too far from her. They met her yesterday."

I know I have no claims on Aubrianne, nor do I even know if she is interested in women, let alone me.

However, I couldn't help but feel relieved and visibly relaxed...
