After the incident with the fishermen, Katie was beginning to get a bit more willing as well as more daring in her exposure. The extent of this presented itself once when Katie and I had gone shopping at a mall further outside of the area we live in. The shopping trip did not start out with any activities planned, but I was quite pleased with how things turned out.
One of the items that Katie was shopping for that afternoon was a few new bras. Now, as I have explained, I do not fully understand why she wears them. She is small and firm enough up top that she really has no physical need for one. She even admits this herself. In fact, the day that we were shopping she was braless under her baggy knit shirt. Still, she insists that there are times when she has to dress "properly" and wear one.
The mall was not crowded and the department store we were in seemed to have even fewer people than the rest of the mall. The women's section was pretty much deserted except for us and two saleswomen. The one was a matronly older woman who was keeping pretty much to the checkout counter. The other one was a younger girl, maybe early twenties, who was stocking the shelves and straightening things up. As we were looking around, she came over and asked if Katie needed any help, giving her a warm smile when she did so. Katie said that she was just looking and the girl went back to her duties. I did notice that she kept looking over at Katie, though.
I asked Katie if she happened to know the girl. She said no and wondered why I had asked. I said I did not know, but it just seemed that the girl was being a bit more than just friendly. Katie simply said to me that she thought the girl was coming on to her. I raised my eyebrows at her and she gave a little laugh. "You did not see her necklace?" she asked me. When I said that I hadn't noticed it, Katie told me it was a rainbow striped heart and she figured that the girl was gay. Not that she was into such things, she added, but she did think the girl was sort of cute.
