---NARRATOR---
A few hours ago Emily was in a private room in a famous restaurant she only ever saw on magazines and now she's in another private room but in a clothing store she's never even heard of. They came to buy a dress for his friends' wedding and she thanked herself for choosing to wear clothes that Alex had bought for her because being in the store was making her feel inferior. Everyone in the store customers and staff look like they came out from a magazine. How can the staff even afford to wear designer clothes unless they're already well-off to begin with?! It was so upscale that they needed a reservation to get in and for something that was decided last minute, Alex had made one apparently and so they were allowed inside the hotel looking store. Emily couldn't help but cling to Alex, the place made her uncomfortable. She feels like everyone inside is judging her and she's using Alex as a shield to protect herself from the prying judgemental eyes.
It took Emily almost five minutes to figure out how to wear the dress Alex chose for her. It was a mini dress made of a sheer material with layers and layers of the same material that was supposed to wrap around her frame to make it less sheer and hug her curves. He offered to help her but she quickly turned it down and now as she turned and looked at herself in the mirror she understood why he insisted on this one.
"Ang ikli nito masyado." She yelled out from behind the curtain that's separating her from Alex.
"It's a mini dress. Of course it's short."
"Ayoko nito." She answered, she was about to untangle the strips of fabric that's holding the dress together but before she could Alex pulled the curtain back.
"Sabi ko patingin muna and I'll be the judge." He circled Emily as he looked at the way the dress hugs her figure just the way he imagined it would. He smiled, she looks good in everything, he can get her the most outdated outfit and she'd still look amazing.
Alex likes seeing Emily with and without clothes on and seeing her in sexy pieces makes him excited. He had a few more outfits like this which was sadly discarded by Emily's treacherous hands as something she would not try on or even look at. Alex spent the last hour picking out various articles of clothing for Emily to wear with the help of a stylist but after staying quiet the whole time they were there, Emily finally put her foot down and told him she's not trying on everything he's picked and that she's only getting what she needs.
They were about to argue in front of the staff but thankfully for them they were allowed to leave and would be called once everything is settled. Emily and Alex argued for a little bit and finally settled on having Emily try on five of the outfits he picked and buying only the things they would both agree on.
"I'm saying no to this one." Emily reiterated.
"But I like it."
"Saan ko ba naman to isusuot to? Ang ikli-ikli na ang nipis nipis pa." She said as she pulled the dress down but in doing so it just showed her chest more.
"It's a dress, you can wear it anywhere you want. You can wear it to the wedding if you want." Alex smirked as he watched her squirm.
"Sira ka ba, ayoko nga."
"But it would be so easy to have sex wearing this." He teased as he bunched the skirt up and exposed her panties.
"ALEX!" Emily slapped his arm.
"It's true though, I can also easily pull this down and your boobs are out." He teased as he pulled on the fabric once again.
"Bakit ba puro sex nalang lagi nasa isip mo?" Emily asked as she fixed the dress, for something she spent so long putting on how the hell is it so easy to pull off?
"Because you're wearing something sexy." He whispered as he nuzzled her neck and started to kiss her.
"Alex stop. Baka bumalik na yung stylist." She protested as Alex's hands snaked around her waist and cupped her ass.
"They're not gonna come in unless I call them." He whispered seductively, Emily bit her lips and she let herself be led down the small stage, to the couch and on Alex's lap. She blamed the champagne they served while she waited for Alex to finish choosing earlier as she let Alex kiss her lips and touch her all over.
"Stick out your tongue." Alex instructed her and she did so, loving the way Alex kissed her deeper.
Kissing Alex always makes her head fuzzy, she loves how his lips leaves butterfly kisses on her, how his tongue teases and licks her and how his hands gently explores her whole body. It always feels like she's on something and holding him closer will send her higher. Emily's hand was fumbling for Alex's shirt when they both heard a knock on the door. Emily was about to pull herself away but Alex held her in place.
"We're busy." He called out.
"I don't care, I'm coming in!" A female voice declared as she swung the door open, Emily pulled the dress into place in time, thankfully.
---EMILY---
"How dare you take my reservation!" Riley said as she stomped towards Alex after telling the employees what she's looking for and wants. Ah that explains how we got in.
"Think of it as payment for letting you intern for me." Sagot naman ni Alex.
Angelica Riley Altamerana, unica hija ni Alfonso Altamerana, na pangalawang anak ni Lolo Al. Nag-iintern sya ngayon sa office ni Alex para sa OJT nya sa business school. She was supposed to intern for her brothers but they figured they can send her to spy on Alex instead. At least that's what Alex said. Sabi rin niya, wala daw siyang pakialam dahil wala naman daw interest si Riley sa company. She wanted to study fashion but his Dad threatened to cut her off if she didn't study business.
Nag-aaway parin silang dalawa nang lumabas ako para ipa-kita yung sinukat kong outfit. This time ako yung pumili kaya naman walang kailangang i-censor na body parts. Ngumiti si Alex at lumapit sakin as he looked at me.
"You look like a box of cereals I'd want to eat in one sitting." He flirted, Riley looked at him disgustingly and I tried not to laugh.
"Eew. That seriously did not sound sexy at all. In fact, it sounded disgusting. Eew." Simangot siya as she stood up and looked through the clothes the staff left for her.
"She knows what I mean besides if you're disgusted by us you can leave."
"Bakit ako aalis, I'm the one who made the reservation. The dress makes you look shorter, and this part looks weird." Sabi niya sakin as she circled around me.
"We didn't ask for your opinion besides I like it." Alex childishly said. Honestly kahit ako hindi ko din na rin sya gusto, mas maganda sya nung nasa mannequin.
"Of course you like it, she's your wife. And knowing you as long as you can see her figure masaya ka na. Pervert." She rolled her eyes, she went to the rack of clothes left for me and started pulling stuff out.
"Speaking of cereals, I almost bought the limited edition Oreo O's. Nakita ko dun sa store na lagi mong pinupuntahan may isa nalang natitirang box and someone beat me to it." Sabi ko kay Alex because it looked like he was going to say something mean to Riley again at sa totoo lang nakakahiya na rin sa stylist na naiwan sa loob.
"You weren't even gonna fight for a box of cereal for me?" He said, his full attention back to me.
"Syempre hindi. Cereals lang palalakihin ko pa ba." Paliwanag ko naman, he frowned at me and before he could say something, Riley pulled me back behind the curtain and helped me put on the clothes she picked out.
I walked out and showed Alex what Riley picked out. Riley stared and waited for his opinion. Almost daring him to say something negative because she knows she did a good job. Alex nodded his approval after a few seconds and told her to go nuts coz were going to a wedding.
"At least your useful in that regard." He said but Riley ignored his comment and proceeded to look through the rack again. She looks like she's enjoying herself anyway.
