Discovering Amber Chapter 3

"Just relax sweetie," Ms said calmly, "you'll never see those two women again."

The two girls giggled uncontrollably for a bit and then went back to their own conversation. I started to relax just before the two of them started to get up and clean up their table. As they walked toward us I really started to panic and wanted nothing more than to become part of the chair I was sitting in.

"Your socks are adorable." The first girl said with a giggle.

"Thank you." I replied weakly.

"I didn't know guys wore socks like that." The second girl said laughingly.

"Oh they don't." Ms Allison said firmly. "Real men do not wear pink socks with white lace or women's sneakers."

"You've got women's sneakers on too!?!" The first girl exclaimed rather loudly.

"Oh my God that's amazing!" The second girl chimed in just as loudly.

"Well she does like to be comfortable when she shops," Ms said tidying up her plate and signaling for me to do the same, "and heels just wouldn't work today." I picked up my plate but Ms took it from me. "Don't forget to pick up your purchases muffin." Ms said as she stood up.

I gathered my bags and my wallet and followed Ms excusing myself politely as I did. As I walked closely behind Ms Allison I heard the girls laughing loudly. Ms took me to one more store. It was a little accessory store called Claire's Boutique where she had me pick out bracelets, a few necklaces, and some dangly earrings. The two girls walked by the store as I was looking at some bracelets and waved through the store window. Ms nudged me to wave back and had me purchase three pairs of earrings and 6 bracelets. I was very happy to leave the mall.

Ms drove us to another store; this one specialized in clothing for exotic dancers. In there it was a bit darker and there was only one sales woman so I was able to relax. Ms had me purchase a pair of thigh high boots, a pair of bright red heels with a 1" platform and a satin French maid's dress.
