Chapter 7
Changes
I was in work the following Monday when Veronica sent me a text... Reading it briefly I could see that she was telling me to meet her at the mall after work, saying she wanted to look at more swimsuits... I was confused what with her buying us both new bathing suits the week before...
I mean, how could I forget the baby blue Speedo she'd bought me? They were so small, they reminded me of panties...
But anyway, I was in work at the time and thinking whatever... I agreed to meet her in the food court later that afternoon...
***
"Hi baby! What's going on? I thought we just bought new swimsuits? Wasn't my weenie-bikini small enough for you?"... I asked joking as we met up with me leaning over to give her a kiss as she sat at one of the food court tables.
"Hi Dana, and yes I know... But I wanted you to come with me this time and help me choose, you have such a good eye for clothes"... She said back as I sat down with her, and yeah, I do have a good dress sense, but something was telling me different, it felt like there might be more to this...
"Hmm? I don't know... It feels like you're not telling me something... What is it baby? It's about Thursday when Reg comes back isn't it?"... I asked as we sat with me picking at her chicken Caesar salad...
"Yes... Of course this is about Reg, and Thursday... It's a big step we're taking...and well, you know how he said, we'll know when it happens?" She asked and yes, I did remember him saying that, how if the timing was right and we wanted to continue, which we had agreed we would, or Veronica felt she was ready anyway, or at least she sounded like she was convinced each time we talked...
"Yeah I remember him saying that, and I'm sure he's right, I mean it's not like this is all written down somewhere, and I like what he said about us not having to do anything, telling us to just relax and let nature take it's course.... Why are you asking? Did you see it differently somehow?"... I asked, not really knowing what she was thinking...
"No, I see it like that too... I like the idea of us just trying to be ourselves, but I was wondering if there wasn't anything we could do that might show him, or give him a sign, that was like us not doing anything -- but still... It would definitely say something"...
Listening to her, suddenly my head was spinning... "Uhh okay? But umm... You want to run that by me again?" I asked with Veronica rolling her eyes at me, but I didn't really get where she was going...
"What I'm saying is... Although we don't 'have' to do anything, it doesn't mean there isn't something we 'can' do that will let him know...Something we can do that he'll see and right away, it should tell him, or it will certainly point things in the direction we already want to be going... Does that make more sense?"
"Oh... Wait, I think I know what you mean... Is that why we're here at the mall? To find you a skimpier bathing suit?" I asked smiling and giving her a sexy wink...
"Yes, there is that... I want to look as sexy as I can for him... But I was also thinking of you baby... Are you willing to be a little daring for me?" She asked smiling now, and from the sound of her, I thought I should be worried...and as it turned out... I was right...
"Well, yeah... You know I'm 'usually' willing to go that extra mile for you, but I don't know... The way you say things, it sounds like I should I be worried"... I replied telling her that in most case I'm not known as one to say no to her, but now though? She was being rather secretive, and I had my doubts...
"Oh relax and come with me and trust me, once you see, you'll understand what I'm saying, now come on lets go, the store I want is this way"... She said then, more so directing me as she had me standing and held by the arm, leading me back into the mall from the food court...
"Where are we going?" I asked, but all I heard back was a... "You'll see!"... as we made our way and walking for what felt like forever, until we finally came to the place she was looking for...
"Bikini Hut? So you are getting a new bathing suit?"... I asked thinking I had this figured out... But again... I was still only half right...
"I don't know, Vee, that white one was kinda skimpy already... How much smaller do these things get?" I asked as she had us wading into the cramped store unit that was jamb-packed with hundreds of bikinis and women's swimsuits in every colour and patter you could imagine...
"Yeah, I picked out a few new ones for myself... I mean, I can't wear the same suit every time... But I wasn't just thinking of me... Here come with me, the lady has them on hold for me"... She told me, but I was confused, letting her lead on, taking me further in where we were met with a woman, the store owner who had Veronica's new suits there and waiting for her...
"What do you mean? Not just for you?" I asked half under my breath as we reached the back of the small boutique to find a small dark-haired woman sitting behind a glass display case...
"Hi! I'm back... This is my husband, the one I was telling you about... So, we're okay to go in? The two of us?"... Veronica asked the woman who hardly lifted her head up out of her phone, waving yes and pointing to the back, through a curtain as Veronica ignored my question, taking my hand and the bikinis the woman had sitting beside her on the counter top.
Following, I assumed we were heading into a changing area, and I was a little surprised the women let me go in with her... But instead, when we reached the back, Veronica had us both heading into what was essentially just the staff washroom...
"I had to bribe her to let me try these on in here with you, I promised her we wouldn't get up to any funny business while... Ummm... While we try a few of these on"... Veronica explained as she started taking her clothes off, but again, hearing her saying 'we'... I wasn't sure of her context..
"Uhh okay? But why are you saying 'we'? These are all girl's swimsuits? Isn't there another weenie-bikini in here for me?" I asked thinking she wanted to get me into another Speedo, but then judging from the flush redness coming to her cheeks, once again my intuition was off...
