In an effort to impress your boyfriend, your friends drags you along to a female intimates shop. Despite not being at ease with the selection, you still buy what's given to you. Twist of fate: you find your shyness slowly overruled by boldness.
" Are you sure you're comfortable in that?"
You'd be lying if you said you weren't expecting that reaction. Truth be told, he made it clear after a small whisper of "y/n" erupted from his mouth, after seeing you in your extensive lingerie about 10 seconds ago.
As you were looking at you and Michael's reflection in the en suite mirror, him behind you, standing a few inches taller, in only his flannel pajamas, you couldn't help but notice how unimpressed he looked by the efforts you put into all of this. Truth be told, you were slightly hurt.
"What, what, you don't like it?" You responded, your self-esteem going from a 100 to -10 after hearing that. You've never considered yourself to be a lingerie lover, anybody smart would consider your undergarment collection to be casual and comfy. You preferred wearing boyshorts to thongs and simple underwire bras to bralettes. And never did Michael say anything. Either he didn't mind or he enjoyed that. It never really crossed your mind to doll yourself up for him. But as you were walking through the mall, last week. Your best friend's eye suddenly caught an interest in a female garments store. She entered without hesitation, already picking out items she liked and handing them over to the attendants while you just walked around, mindlessly looking at things, not really with the intentions of buying anything. Not that you"d use it anyway.
Without you really wanting, an attendant walked over to you and asked if she could help. Being more than conservative, you quickly told her you were just waiting for your friend to finish in the dressing room and that these places didn't really connect with you. Yes, the attendant heard you but said that you didn't need to be afraid of lingerie, that it'd help you with your self-esteem, that it could help spice up things in the bedroom(which were fine) and that there was a set available for everybody. Almost feeling obligated, you tried on whatever she gave you, bought the one that your friend suggested because she claimed MIchael would like it and left there with a few discarded boyshorts on special, socks, a few simple bras and your first ever lingerie set.
Well apparently, they were both wrong because clearly the item chosen for you, one extensive lacy low cut teddy, accompanied with spaghetti straps, a thong and finished off with black and pink bows was doing exactly the opposite. To think that it looked amazing on the mannequin and that two people, your true best friend and a hired stylist told you it looked great but that the one person you were supposed to impress, your boyfriend didn't seem to be aroused at all. Supposed to heat things up in the bedroom, right? Well, it sure looks as if things were about to cool down.
"Baby, no, I don't want you to think that. I love this, I find it beautiful" he said placing on one hand on your shoulder, playing with the thin strap, the other one on your lace covered hip.
"Then why did you ask me if I'm comfortable in it?" You asked, generally confused by what he was trying to point out.
"Because, baby, I don't want you to think you need to impress me. And especially not by bringing yourself down at the same time" he said, generally feeling concerned about your well- being.
"I wasn't trying to impress you!" You suddenly escaped out of his hold, turned your body so your back was facing the mirror and you were staring to the side.
"Really?" He replied, a small chuckle escaping his mouth which you didn't quite appreciate, folding his arms, making it seem like you were being taken for a fool.
"I was just trying to build my self-esteem, you know, try to look better, shape my body..." there you were throwing excuses after excuses to no avail.
"And it's now that you do that? After you go shopping with(Y/F/N) just as she has a new boyfriend? After 2 years of dating me?" He questioned you, finding ways of making you realize things you didn't really want to admit.
