I pushed it back towards her. “I don’t need it.”
“Sara, you do. When’s the last time you bought something sexy like this?”
I hated that I couldn’t even remember a time when I had. It’d always just been whatever panties and bras were on sale. Looking down at the set, I slowly shook my head, trying to remember that I really didn’t need the set and I wouldn’t even look all that good in it.
“Get it for yourself, or I’m going to get it for you.”
I recognized the stubbornness in her tone and groaned. She wasn’t kidding. There was no way I could let her buy anything for me that I could ever possibly use for her brothers. Sighing, I took it from her and rested it gently across my arm. “Fine.”
“And buy yourself some nice panties while you’re here. You deserve something sexy.”
I didn’t want to argue with her more than I already had about my panty situation, so I just grunted and walked away. Once I got started, it was hard to stop, though. Before I knew it, I was getting fitted for the perfect bra and I was leaving with more matching sets of panties and bras than I’d ever had. Plus, the little white number was hidden at the bottom of the bag, a secret weight that I couldn’t stop thinking about.
“This was nice. I really needed to get away from Maggie. She keeps telling me about her boyfriend and how he’s probably going to propose soon. She’s in school, still! I’m having to use all of my energy to not shout at her to enjoy her youth.”
I grinned. “Like we did. With a long line of losers.”
She hesitated. “You know what? I think I’ll tell her to marry him as soon as possible.”
We were both still giggling and reminiscing about the different losers we’d dated when we arrived back at the resort. Macy went to find Jason and show off her goodies before the movie night and I headed towards my room to unload my stuff and maybe try something on. I had sexy underwear for the first time, and I wanted to put it on and see how it felt. Who knew? Maybe I’d step into a new bra and panty set and suddenly be a new, confident woman?
Swinging my bag, I almost felt like humming as I went down the grand staircase and was swept into a big pair of arms and pulled back into a dark corner. I gasped just before a big hand went over my mouth to silence me.
“Quiet, Cupcake.”
