Take Me Home

Monkey Visions

"I promise I won't take too long," Kiki winked to her redheaded best friend before stepping into a forbidden universe. It was the back room at the local sex shop: Camouflage, and there were so many toys and gadgets to look at. She felt herself blushing as she gazed at the different items.

She was surprised that no one immediately asked to see her I.D. since people usually think she looks 12 years old. She actually felt kind of proud of herself for looking old enough. As she walked around, she felt even more embarrassed for accidentally knocking over a bottle of banana lube.

As she reached down to pick it up, she noticed there was a monkey on it and started thinking the grossest thoughts. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put a monkey on something like that? Were people into monkey mating all of the sudden??

"You gettin' the monkey visions too, hun?" the golden haired clerk said from behind her register. She chuckled at the petite thai girl's confused and scared expression as Kiki didn't expect to engage in conversation with someone in the back room.

"Uh...nah nah, I wasn't thinking anything....fine, how did you know that?" Kiki set the bottle of lube back on the shelf and could feel her face getting hotter by the second. It didn't help that the clerk was extremely attractive. The girl had golden locks that fell perfectly on her shoulders, and her deep blue eyes seemed to pierce Kasey's soul while also being welcoming.

"Trust me, we get a lot of customers surprised by the products in here so your face looked familiar. Plus, people are into all kinds of things. Were you looking for anything special today?" The clerk laughed and her gaze then fixed on the rack next to Kiki. On it, there was all sorts of whips and lashes. Handcuffs too.

"I mean..I am kinda new to this whole thing so maybe?" Kiki shrugged, glancing at the spot where the girl's eyes were fixated. Something caught her eye: a black leather whip with a bedazzled handle laid effortlessly on the rack. Something about it intrigued Kiki, so she reached out to hold the toy. It felt perfect and sleek in her hands.

"I think that is screaming, 'take me home!" the clerk gestured to the shiny whip in Kiki's hands and raised her eyebrows suggestively.

Kiki gave in and walked with secret excitement to the register with her new I.D. in one hand and the whip in the other. This would be her first purchase but hopefully not her last. As she set both things down on the glass counter, the blonde accidentally grazed Kiki's hand. Kiki instinctively pulled away and muttered a "sorry."

"No worries, darlin'! Kinda reminds me of going to the movies and touching hands with your date when you both reach for the popcorn, don't ya think?" the girl smiled from ear to ear as she scanned the item paying no attention to the I.D. on the counter.

"Heh, yeah that's kinda true. Thanks for all the help, I probably wouldn't of had the balls to do it without you," Kiki laughed shyly and took the bag with the whip inside of it from the girl.

She started to walk away from the register when the girl called out to her holding up a little plastic card with Kiki's awkward smile on it, "Hey, Kiana Brown, you might not wanna forget this!"

"Oh shit! Thank you so much...Liz?" Kiki happily took the I.D. from the girl and glanced down to search for a nametag. Luckily there was one pinned neatly on her cute black tank top.

"How..did you know that?" Liz asked in shock. Her eyes widened as if Kiki was some sort of psychic.

"Uh, your name--"

"I'm just fuckin' with ya, cutie. Now you have yourself a nice rest of your day," Liz winked and laughed at Kiki's dumbfounded expression. Kiki could not believe this girl. She was funny, helpful, kinda an asshole, but overall extremely hot. Liz turned around and walked into the staff room before Kiki could say anything else. This girl just seemed entirely different.

Whatever though. It's not like she'd ever see her again, Kiki thought. She tucked her wavy brown hair behind her ear before practically running out of the back room to meet up with her best friend, Jamie.

"Took you long enough! You had me almost convincing myself to buy a penis lollipop. That would not have looked good for us homos," Jamie said with crossed arms and a disapproving face. Kiki rolled her eyes and "shushed" her friend as they exited Camouflage and entered the Starbucks next door.

Kiki forced Jamie to sit down and then proceeded to sit across from her underneath the Starbucks umbrella, her eyes wide with excitement. "Trust me, I have a very good reason. The clerk in there was fucking hot as hell let me tell you. She had the prettiest blue eyes and hair and don't even get me started on that bod--"

"Oh my god, do you have to fall in love with every hot blonde you see? Remember how that one time went when you left your number on the windshield of that one girl's car? Let's think about this now.." Jamie said in a concerned tone. She was just giving Kiki a hard time, but she could see that Kiki felt differently about this person. It didn't seem to just be some random hot chick.

"Ight. Fine. Be that way. I was just going to tell you about the new love of my life and you had to go and be a bitch about it," Kiki leaned back in the cold metal chair, turning her face away so that the umbrella did not cover it and the sun beamed on her tan freckled face.

Jamie paused for a good minute before responding. She knew that Kiki had a reason for feeling the way she did. So she was going to support her best friend regardless.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry! Hey, you know what? We'll be back sooner than you think. I just got a feeling," Jamie smirked, reaching out to pat Kiki's hand. Kiki stuck out her tongue and began to light up again when she talked about what happened in the back room.

She thought...maybe, just maybe she would see Liz again.
