Our Love Goes On and On

"Don't be a baby."

I covered my eyes, "Ro, I don't think I can do this."

He continued to laugh at me because I had changed my mind about going into the 'toy' shop. I knew the shop was next to the mall, I had seen it a million times, but I never thought I'd be going in.

"Babe, it's just a regular store."

"I'm not that kind of girl, Roman, you know that."

He put his hands in his pocket and looked at me, "You don't have to do this."

"I want to, but it's weird. I feel like an awkward virgin all over again."

"Like I said, you don't have to do this."

"I can do this." I said, trying to convince myself more than him. "I'm a grown woman, I'm mature, I can do this."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I got this."

Roman opened the door and I walked in. It was sort of dark, candles were there to greet you at the front door, advertising the new candle that smelt like 'Sex on the Beach'.

I picked it up and showed Roman, "Sex has a smell?"

He hunched his shoulders as a store clerk came over with a smile, "Hello!"

"Hi."

"Are you guys here for anything in particular or just browsing? First timers?"

"Oh, no, we're married with two kids." I told her.

"Babe, she, uh," Roman cleared his throat, "she meant was this your first time at the store."

"Oh! Yeah, it's our first time."

"I've been here before." Roman said. "Can point us in a random direction, we'll go from there."

"Well, you can start with the 'his and hers' section, right over there to your left." she pointed to an aisle a few over from us, "Have a great time! And if you need to test out anything, there are rooms in the back."

My eyes widened, but Roman pulled me over to the aisle before I had a chance to probably say something ridiculous.

"Roman did you hear that?" I whispered, "They let you do it in the back rooms!"

"I heard her, babe."

"And why didn't you tell me you've been here before? I thought this was something we could do for the first time together."

"I wasn't in here for myself. We stopped here on the way to Phil's bachelor party. Trust me, with everything that I'm carrying down there, you don't need anything else."

I shoved his chest and walked further down the aisle. "Look, they have handcuffs." I grabbed a pair and showed them to him.

"Yeah, like I'm going to let you put pink, furry handcuffs on me." he took them from me and put them back down.

"Okay, what about this holder thing."

I grabbed it and his eyes almost buldged out of their sockets. "Babe, that's not a holder."

"What is it then? It looks like you tie it to something and it holds stuff."

He shook his head, "Babe, come on, how do you not know this stuff?"

"What do I not know? What is it?"

He grabbed it from me and sat it back down on the shelf, "It's for lesbian couples, babe, we wouldn't need it."
