Playing pretend

Dressed to impress

"Wow.."
"You asshole! I told you I wasn't ready!"

...

"Get out!" You pushed at him an Emilio shut the curtain back.
"Hold on.. I want to see how it fits.."
You almost gasped as he pulled at the band at your hips. The air suddenly became tense as your breathing picked up. You looked up and he was smirking.
"Well.. what do you think about it?" you asked returning the smirk and he pressed his palm on the wall.
"I think it's very elegant. Although like I said before.." his thumb caught on your hip string, "I certainly do prefer nothing more~"

You didn't even have a response.
Although, Emilio wanted to see the lingerie on you, he kept looking into your eyes and you couldn't help but stare back.
His eyes were so beautiful. So dark, you could drown in them. Without even realizing, you had put your hands on both sides of his face and drew him closer. You kept telling yourself it was pretend, it felt so real but you knew it wasn't.

I'm sure he feels the same.

"Can we kiss?" you asked and he smiled that same pure smile.
"Of course we can, no need to ask sweet cheeks" his eyes lingered lower, "Speaking of cheeks.."
His hands slowly slid up the back of your thigh.
You quickly grabbed his hands and smirked, "Who gave you permission to touch me?"

His eyes widened.

"I didn't hear you ask~"

He began to chuckled as he tilted his head back and looked at the ceiling, "God I love this"
"Hm?"
He suddenly grabbed your face and began to kiss you deeply. You gripped his hoodie as he took your breath away. He broke away and you frowned.
"Promise you won't forget me?"
You looked away, "I'd never want anyone to experience that.."
"How sweet.. Would you like me to buy this lingerie? I'm getting those dresses for you"
"I'll take it, although it's a shame you'll never see it again~"
He rolled his eyes with a smile, "Sure. Now slip this dress on and we'll go buy it"

...

You left the store in your new clothing.
You wore a black dress that flowed down right above your knees and showed a bit of chest. It was a spaghetti strap with a white rim at the bottom.

Emilio carried the bags.
Next he insisted he wanted to buy some matching heels.

You walked inside the shop and immediately spotted someone you knew.
It was the underclassman Kenny.

What's he doing here?

You walked the opposite direction of where your younger classmate was an Emilio grabbed your hand. "What are you doing? The heels are over here.."

Shit..

Emilio dragged you over to the heels where you and Kenny finally made eye contact. He was with his mom and waved at you.
You smiled and waved back and felt an ominous feeling coming from behind. You turned slowly with an awkward smile and saw Emilio beaming with focus as he looked at each heel carefully.

He hadn't even noticed the interaction with your classmate.

Actually, you noticed Emilio wasn't a very jealous guy. He'd usually joke it off, so maybe that's just how he was.

"These!!" he suddenly yelled and snatched up a pair of cream, white heels. They were pumps that covered your toes and had a buckle.
He grabbed your leg and you plopped on a bench as he started putting them on you.
"Emilio!" you scolded embarrassed as he lifted your leg.
"They're perfect for you!"
You began to laugh adored at Emilio's cuteness.
You looked back over to where Kenny was but he was gone.

You shrugged it off and stood up after Emilio was done.

"Cute.." you smiled and he took your old shoes and put them in the bag with your old clothes.

"Let's go pay"

...

You an Emilio stopped by his car to put the already heavy bags away, and continued to walk the plaza. There was a store with shiny jewelry in the window, which immediately caught your eyes. Emilio saw and immediately smiled to himself as he took your hand in his.

"This place next!"
"Oh but Emilio.. it's so expensive" you stated and he continued.
"It's no problem, it is our deal isn't it~?"

You smiled as you entered the shop and immediately a pair of ruby earrings, shaped like hearts, stood out to you. There was a gold chain with a red, heart pedant to match. Emilio also grabbed you a pair of diamond earrings and small gold hoops.
It cost a solid 700 dollars in total but to Emilio, it was nothing.
After buying it, you put the heart earrings in and left the store. Emilio stopped and pulled you behind a pillar. "Let me put the necklace on you.." he muttered as he put the rest of the jewelry in a black case.

You didn't deny and you watched as he delicately guided his fingers past your collarbones to hook on the necklace. You stared at him, almost in a trance as he was focused.
He held your hair up and finally clipped the necklace on and smiled with achievement.

"Got it" he beamed as he took your hand and continued walking.

You didn't know where he was taking you next but you didn't want the day to end.
You couldn't help but wonder was it a date.

Should I ask?

You looked up at the dark haired male, and of course, he was smiling.
He always smiled with you.
Did you make him happy?

"Emilio.."
"Hm?"
"Is this a date?" you asked and he nodded.

You looked down at your new clothing and then his. You felt very pretty but also guilty since he was still in tan cargos and a black hoodie. It was as if he had dressed you up without thinking of himself.
He noticed your frown and stopped walking.

"What's wrong?"
You decided to be honest, "You've dressed me up but you're still in casual wear"
"Awe.. do you feel bad or something?" he teased and you looked away scoffingly.
"It's okay, I actually really like things like this.."
"What?"
Emilio continued with a bit of a serious tone, "I like when my women look better than me. Although, I can't tell you why yet.."
Your face flushed as he gave you a suspicious look and took your hand again.

"Come on, I have somewhere else I want to take you"

To be continued.
