Amy and Laura had made a habit of lingerie shopping together, it was just so much more fun that way. Grad school was fairly tedious, lots of study and research all holed up in your room, so they enjoyed getting out and having a break. They got a kick out of picking out the silliest things they could find to try on and make the other laugh. And, of course, it was exciting. Hot. Sure, a leopard print nipple-less bra is funny, but when it's on a fit 24 year old, well, who knows what might happen...
Mid-February is the dreariest time of year, and the shortest month seems to stretch on forever. It's mid-way into the semester, and spring feels like an empty promise. Also? Valentine's Day. What are two single gals to do?
Laura looked up from her laptop, "Screw this. My brain is turning to mush. Amy, let's go to the mall."
Amy hit save and closed her computer, "You are ON, sister."
They went straight to the Victoria's Secret. It was mobbed, due to the impending lingerie-intensive holiday. But this was also the time of year with the silliest flimsies to try.
They squeezed around the shopping boyfriends and girlfriends and gathered up interesting lingerie -- satin bras, lacy teddies, filmy nighties trimmed in marabou -- all stuff they'd never buy, never REALLY wear, even if they weren't on student budgets. Or at least they liked to think they'd never wear it. Once they had their selections, they looked for a sales woman to let them into dressing rooms. They finally found a harried looking girl who told them there was only one room open, "One of you will have to wait."
Amy and Laura exchanged glances, "They're big rooms," Amy said.
"We'll share," Laura added.
The sales girl, a little relieved, closed the door behind them.
They hung up the stuff and began to undress, facing away from one another. Amy chose to model a black lace teddy with a thong back. She wriggled into it and wondered why anyone would want that piece of elastic in their butt crack all day. She checked herself out in the mirror -- the fit was amusingly ridiculous. She said,"Ready?"
"Yep," said Laura and they turned to face each other.
Laura had put on a see-through shortie nightgown in a corally pink. It had feathers along the hem. They started to giggle.
