Page 74 of An Engagement for Erica

Maybe that was what she was doing.

Expanding in her growth.

Why else would she have just admitted everything to her sister that she had?

She watered the plant and left it on the table to settle, then went to see what her sister was up to and if she made too big of a mess in her room.

“Those aren’t my shoes,” she said.

“Nope,” Harmony said. “They are mine.”

She saw the tan leather wedge sandals with straps around the ankle. She always thought they were cute but never bought anything like that.

She’d borrowed her sister’s shoes in the past, but never much. Though they were about the same size, they didn’t have nearly the same style of clothing.

“That isn’t my shirt either,” she said. There was a floral printed halter top on the bed. It was cute, feminine, and almost innocent at the same time it was sexy. Her tan shorts were paired with it.

“What do you think?” Harmony asked. “With a few of the Blossoms accessories. This bracelet, ring, and these earrings. The bracelet is mine, the ring and earrings yours.”

Her sister had the whole outfit laid out. It wasn’t overkill by any means.

More than she’d put together, but she’d be modern, chic and maybe sexy in her own way.

“He isn’t used to seeing me like that.”

“Exactly,” Harmony said. “Which is why it’s going to be sexy. Wearing flowers and delivering a plant. You know, hint, hint.”

“You’re too much,” she said, laughing. “Let me see how it looks.”

Harmony sat on the bed. There was no reason to tell her sister to leave. She wouldn’t anyway.

She pulled her shirt off and pushed her shorts down. “Should I change my underwear?”

“Yes,” Harmony said. “Plain white cotton isn’t the way to go. Do I have to teach you everything?”

Harmony jumped off the bed and started to go through Erica’s underwear drawer. She should have been embarrassed but realized it was more about fun.

There was a pair of nude-colored silky bikinis thrown at her. She didn’t think they were sexy in the least.

“Why these?” she asked.

“Because they are the same color as your skin so it will almost be like you aren’t wearing anything at all. They are cute too. Trust me.”

“Okay,” she said. Her sister had her back to her so she turned her back and dropped down her underwear and changed into them.

“This bra,” Harmony said. “The straps crisscross so you can put it behind your back like the halter top.”

“I didn’t know that,” she said, taking the light blue silky bra.

“Because you don’t look at those things and I do.”

Harmony was changing the straps on it and then handed it over and turned her back.

She didn’t need to ask her sister. Harmony knew Erica was more modest.

She put that bra on and then started to dress.

When she was done, she asked, “What do you think?”
