Pov Sage

No way am I showing this to Meri. I'm standing in the Hunkemoller's fitting room. That employee took exciting lingerie very seriously. Really a piece of rope covers even more. "Sage are you done changing yet?" I hear Meri calling. About my dead body showing this to him. Unfortunately, "Yes" doesn't come out of my mouth very confidently. "Show me," he laughs. "Not really!" I shout back.

"Scared chicken!" Meri shouts across the store. Grrr. He's done that four times now. "If I show you, keep your jaw shut again," I growl. "Yes ma'am" I hear him say laughing. I carefully open the curtain. I nervously look around twice. So why is it swarming with people here?

Meri immediately sits up straighter and his eyes widen slightly. "Djeez Sage" he mumbles and licks his lips once. Okay this is really awkward. "Okay, enough of that," I squeak out of nerves. I think my chicken is now as red as a tomato. I quickly close the curtain.

I walk out of the fitting room again with my cheeks still slightly pink. I look at Meri who is looking suspiciously at another guy in the store. What is he doing here? I thought Meri might be the only boy here. "Meri!" I shout, startling him from his thoughts.

"Hey babe" he says exaggeratedly loudly. He stands up and walks towards me. He puts an arm around my neck and kisses my cheek. Meri immediately looks back at the boy.

The boy rolls his eyes and walks away. I look at Meri who is still looking at the boy. "Babe?" I ask when he finally looks at me. "Yes, you are," he grins. "Not yours," I chuckle. He smiles and nods. "That's true. But every chick dreams of being my girl," he says with a hand on his heart. "Haha, not me," I laugh and walk towards the exit. "Sage, you still have to pay," I hear Meri say. "No, I'm not buying it," I say. I walk over to him and push it into his arms. He can clean it up nicely. I don't want to be here another minute. I turn around again and walk out of the store.

Finally he's outside. That really took an awfully long time. Wait a second. Is he holding a pink Hunkemoller bag? Yup, it's a bag like that. As he comes closer I see him looking at me with a grin. He holds the bag behind his back and gets down on one knee in front of me. He grabs mine with his other hand. He looks around the square and clears his throat.

"Folks, can I have your attention!" he shouts across the square. Oh oh. Many people come to stand around us. Why is it so busy today? "Meri, get up," I hiss. He shakes his head. "Dear, dear, dear Sage," he begins. Immediately there are awh sounds coming from all kinds of directions. "Would you please" he continues. All awh sounds again. Jeez, people are so predictable. "take this lingerie" he grins and takes the bag from behind his back.

I immediately put my hand in front of my face and I hear some boys laughing and screeching. Or whatever you want to call what they are doing. It doesn't quite fit into a category. "Now you take it or not," Meri laughs and stands up. "If you just shut up and we go home," I laugh.

"Oohh" a boy shouts. I walk towards him. When I'm standing right in front of them I say "haha no" and give him a bitch clap. I take Meri's hand and pull him through the crowd to the car.

I throw the pink bag in the corner of my room. Why did I accept that bag in the first place? I mean, I'm never going to wear that again for as long as I do. If you put that on, you might as well go straight to the red walls, right?

I grab some sweatpants and a sweater and some underwear. And no, not that Meri gave that. I go to the bathroom and turn on the shower. I undress and step into the hot shower. In the shower I get a song in my head. Well, actually it's two sentences. The rest of the text. Yeah, I just don't know that one, a friend of mine told me this. Well, because I have those two sentences in my head, I can't help but sing them all the time. If you're curious what my fake cat whining is supposed to resemble: 'I lost a bet from a guy in a chiffon skirt. But I make these high heels work', I know, it doesn't make any sense at all, but boo.

I get changed and I run my hair through. I brush my teeth and put my hair in a loose ponytail. I walk back into my room. Hmm my bed looks very attractive at the moment. Yawn yawn. I walk to my bed and crawl into it. I pull the covers high over me and fall into a deep sleep. So goodnight folks!
