every day for the rest of our lives.
After dressing in some clean clothes, I decided to head into the city and go shopping. I wanted to buy something to wear to go with the new me. I had saved for two years for this holiday and hadn’t really touched any money since I had arrived. The main desk gave me the directions to punch into the sat nav and I hit the road. I found the mall and parked the car.
I don’t know what I was expecting at the mall, but I was surprised by how small it was. I think I was expecting something the size of Bluewater shopping centre in Kent. I recognised a few stores from there and back in London and remembered how much I hated to shop alone.
After an ice cold smoothie from one of the stands in the food court, I made my way back to my car with the new perfume I had bought. Just before I got to the door I found a store I had only seen in the movies. Victoria’s Secret, the world famous lingerie store that had recently opened a shop in London. I gazed at the beautiful displays in the windows, all of the different colours and styles, lace, silk, thongs, French knockers, shorts. All of them looked amazing and I wondered if maybe Alec would like some, well, some on me.
“Hi, how are you doing today?” the young looking sales assistant asked as I drifted in to the shop.
“Uh, I’m alright.” I nodded and pulled a turquoise bra off the rack.
“That is a pretty colour, but uh, well, with your colouring, I am guessing this would suit you better.” She held up a coral bra set, it was beautiful and my mother always said coral was my colour.
“Do um, do men still like this sort of thing?” I asked taking it from her. It felt so soft, even though most of the fabric was lace, it felt as soft as cotton wool between my fingers.
“Men will always like pretty, sexy yet tasteful underwear on their beautiful girlfriends,” she beamed. I looked at it again, “We have a BOGO sale on today, buy one, get one, so you could buy the coral set and get the turquoise set for free.”
“You had me at BOGO,” I smiled and lifted the turquoise set from the rail.
I left the store feeling somewhat happy with myself. I had never bought so much just for me before, then a pang of guilt, I hadn’t bought anything for Alec, but smiled to myself as I realized that technically I had. I felt certain he would enjoy the underwear and it placed excitement inside.
Arriving back at the hotel, I climbed out of the car and hid the Victoria’s Secret bag in with my new shoes. As I entered the hotel, the receptionist waved to catch my attention.
“Miss Matthews,” she smiled.
“Yes,” I frowned.
She lifted a huge bouquet of flowers from behind the counter, “These arrived for you today.” I gazed at them, lilies and roses of white and yellow. I pulled the card from the flowers,
‘Thank you for an incredible weekend,
A R xx’
I smiled and looked at the receptionist, “Someone is a very lucky girl,” she remarked.
“Yes, I am.” I agreed. “Can I have something to put them in please?”
“Of course, I’ll send someone up with a vase worthy enough for such an impressive array of flowers.”
“Thank you,” I smiled again and took the flowers from her, the sent filled my nostrils as I hurried to the lift.
When I got to my room I struggled to get the door open, almost tripping over my bags as I stumbled into the room. I laid the flowers on the table and lifted my bags from the floor. I kicked the door closed as my phone buzzed in my
