“Take that just in case you see something you like.” He holds the credit card between his fingers out to me.

“No!”

“Take it.” I know I’m not going to win this one, so I take the card, kiss his lips and back away. “See you soon.” I get into Taylor’s car and wave from the window, then blow him a kiss. My phone pings with a message from my bag. Taking it out I see a message from Adam with his pin number on, I close it off and drop it back in my bag.

We pick up Ash from her house. Ash is Taylor’s pregnant best friend, this is the first time I’ve met her though. She’s around the same height as me and really pretty with dark hair. She gets in the back of the car and stretches out.

“Hey Ash. This is Darcy, Adam’s girlfriend.”

“Oh hey. Nice to meet you.” Ash says.

“Hi, how far are you gone?”

“Not far enough.” She laughs as we begin heading towards the Trafford Centre, the main shopping centre in town and is huge, I very rarely go shopping anyway but never here as it’s always so busy. Taylor and Ash are singing along to the radio while I sit here with my thoughts.

I lean my head against the window. I probably shouldn’t have left this morning, in fact I probably shouldn’t have said what I said last night to my Dad. It did need to be said but what if I’ve made things worse…

“Hey, why aren’t you singing?”

I look across at Taylor and grin sadly. The girls just want a good time and I’m sat here feeling guilty. “I don’t sing, unless I’m in the shower of course.”

“Are you okay? If you want to share Ash and I are good listeners - I promise.”

“Yeah, I’ve had to listen her whining for years!” Ash says with a smile spread across her face.

“Bitch! You love me,” says Taylor as she looks into the rear-view mirror then blows a kiss to Ash. Smiling, I love how these girls get along. They have such a strong friendship.

“How did you two meet?” Looking at each other, Taylor and Ash smirk as Taylor dives into the story of how they became friends.

They’ve kept me that entertained with their stories that my guilt has slipped to the back of my mind and I haven’t even noticed the forty-five-minute journey. Before we know it, we are pulling on to the car park looking for a car space.

Taylor drags us into shop after shop, boy that girl can shop. I stare into the window of the next shop, lingerie, sexy lingerie. That can only be one place - Ann Summers. I walk in, I’m looking at the underwear, picking it up and admiring the garments, I secretly wish I had the nerve to wear something like this. Adam and I haven’t even had sex yet, but god I want to.

I pick up a black lacy all in one number, with suspender straps hanging from the bottom. It has thin shoestring straps at the front leading into thicker at the back for the adjustments for the bra, I smooth my palm down the middle of the bodice, the satin feels soft and sensual under my hand.

“You should so buy that, it’s fucking gorgeous!” Taylor says in my ear. It really is though. “Look Darce, matching knickers to,” she says holding them up and waving them in the air.

“Taylor, do you have to wave them about.” I feel the heat rising in my cheeks as I say it. “What - it’s just underwear, I could be waving one of these around.”

I steal a look to see what she’s got now and to my embarrassment, she’s waving around a dildo! A big one – it’s at least eight inches.

“Fucking hell Taylor stop it.” I cover my face with my hands to hide my blush, then walk away from her laughing.

“Have you seen the fucking size of this? It’s fucking HUGE!” She walks over to where Ash and I are, waving around another one. She puts down the dildo and goes to another stand with sexier underwear.

“I don’t see the point of crotchless knickers, do you girls? I mean if you’re gonna wear those...” she holds them up and stretches them, “You may as well just go commando - or is it just me?”

Ash and I are doubled up holding our bellies from laughing so much. “Hmm, I may take Chris a present home. You should buy those you looked at.”

Picking the all in one backup from the stand, I look at the price ticket. £49.50 - shit! I look at the price of the thong. £15.00! Oh my god. I don’t think I’ll be buying those. I walk back to the girls as they take their purchases to the counter.

“I’m gonna wait outside.”

Ash nods and Taylor doesn’t respond. Finding a bench, I sit down and take the weight off my feet from walking around for hours and put the very few purchases that I have made on the floor.

The most I spent was in Primark - that’s more my price range. I’m looking through my phone as the girls walk back towards me with three bags. Taylor thrusts the Ann Summers bag at me.
