“No, no. I trust you. Sorry if I freaked out a little bit.”
“Don’t worry about it, girlfriend. Always let me know if you’re feeling uncomfortable about something.” Amy brings me into a hug and rubs my back. Having her as a friend makes me feel so much better.
“We can go inside now,” I say against Amy, who is still hugging me.
“Of course, of course.” She lets me go and smoothes my clothes down. “I’ve told the shop all about you, and everyone inside has been dying to meet you.” Of course she did. Amy can make friends wherever she goes.
We go inside the store, and a sales associate approaches us, greeting Amy with enthusiasm.
“Amy! It’s been so long!”
“Alice!” They hug one another, and then Amy points the saleslady towards me. “I finally brought my friend. Alice this is Nellie. Nellie, Alice.”
Alice and I exchange pleasantries, and we shake hands.
“I have to show you some of the new pieces we have in. I’m sure you’ll absolutely adore them. They’redivine,” Alice gushes. The two of us follow Alice to the back of the store, where there’s a very fancy, extra private fitting room. It has snacks and drinks and lingerie hanging on the walls. It’s gorgeous.
Alice pulls out all kinds of sexy fripperies. I gasp. There are a multitude of silks and laces, each one tinier than the last.
She lays them out on a table for us, describing how to put them on and how they work.
“So, what do you guys think?” Alice asks. Amy and I look at one another, but before we can answer, Alice’s phone beeps. She checks and makes a sad face.
“Sorry, guys. I have to take care of some things up front which might take me a while, but feel free to try things on, look at them, touch them, whatever you need. If you finish before I get back, just bring whatever you want to buy up front.” We thank her, and she departs.
Once Alice is gone, I am able to calm down a little bit. She was nice enough but having someone new here while I was browsing intimate clothing had me a little bit stressed.
“What do you think?” my friend asks. Amy holds up one of the pieces Alice showed us. It’s a see-through black bra that comes with a matching G-string.
“Um, it’s cute.”
“I think so too. I like it, but I don’t know if I should get it.”
“Why not? You’d look great in it.”
“Well,” Amy trails off. It seems like there’s something she wants to tell me, and if that’s the case, I am dying to know. There isn’t anything outwardly different I can recognize about her. I mean, she does seem to have a certain glow about her, but my friend’s always been beautiful.
Oh wait.Glow.
“Are you …?” I start. Amy nods, answering my question before I can even finish it. “Oh my goodness!”
“Yes! I’m pregnant!” she says gleefully.
Seriously, oh my goodness. I can’t believe Amy is pregnant. I never really thought that we were ready, to be honest. We’re in our twenties, and busy trying to start our lives. Then, I had my whole family to worry about too.
Is Amy okay with this sudden change?
“Are you good? I mean, didn’t you just meet Colt?” It’s been maybe two months since we first met them at the party. All the relationship experts and books would tell you it is much too early to start family planning with a man you only just met.
“Of course I’m good,” Amy nods. “I’mbetterthan good. I’m ecstatic! I know Colt and I just met, but we get along so well.”
“So, you’re sure this is what you want?”
“Yeah!” Amy replies with a blissful expression. “Colt and I have spoken about it, and we decided we both wanted to try for a baby. I know it might seem weird, but our entire lifestyle is weird to outsiders. The two of us know what we want, and we decided to go for it.”
Amy makes some good points. After all, I’ve been falling head over heels for Nash. But we don’t communicate the same way Colt and Amy do.
“Wow, you got pregnant pretty quickly,” I remark.
