The holidays were coming up and that meant shopping, decorating, planning, etc. You were currently thinking about everything that was going to happen as you leaned over the register counter of Little Shop of Whores drinking hot chocolate. You were grateful that you wouldn't have to work too much during the holidays. You would get the Christmas week off, which you were going to go home and see your family during that week, and then when you came back you had to work a bit more. Not too much, though, being as Sinbad wanted to be a better boss after all of the recent developments, and he also knew that most people probably weren't going to shop at a porn shop during the holidays. You couldn't help but to think that some pervert would though. With a happy sigh, you started to think about the plans that you and your fiance were going to make. Kouha had been staying over at your place quite a bit ever since you both got engaged. That morning, he had dropped you off at your work and told you that he would pick you back up when your shift was over with so that you both could plan the holiday's out and start gift shopping. "Any fun plans this month?" Alibaba asked as he walked over, placing a box on the counter you were leaning on. He started to open it with a box cutter.
"Hopefully," you answered, "Kouha and I are going to figure that out later being as we'll have both of our families' homes to go to." Now that you both were engaged, you knew that it was only natural that you would spend the holidays together somehow. Alibaba made a slight face as he noticed a bunch of vibrators inside of the box. He didn't shy away, however, and slowly started to take them out, making you pretty impressed.
"Will this be the first time that Kouha's meeting your family?" he asked, nonchalantly. He made sure to arrange all of the sex toys by size and color so that they would be much easier to display. Your previous absence seemed to have done him some good. You couldn't focus on that for too long, though, as your eyes got a bit wide. You had mentioned a while back to your parents that you met someone, but you never kept them updated. Everything had just been so busy! And it truly would be the first time that they were meeting Kouha. You hoped dearly that they would like him. "Are you alright, [Name]?" Alibaba asked, sensing your uneasiness.
"W-What? Oh! Yeah, I'm fine," you quickly snapped out of it. You just had to tell yourself that it would be fine. You also needed to tell Kouha all of the things that he couldn't mention. Such as where you worked, how sexually active you two were, and the previous mess that you had gotten yourself into. You were sure that he would listen though. "In any case, are you going to be spending Christmas with Morgiana?" you asked, knowing that the two were getting more serious. They had, after all, started dating around the same time that you and Kouha had.
"Yeah...I invited her over to my family's house," he said, slightly red in his face. "They really like her." Of course they would like Morgiana, she was truly one of the cutest and sweetest people you had ever met. You felt as if Alibaba should hold onto her tightly.
"What are you getting her for Christmas?" you couldn't help but to ask. Alibaba started to take the vibrators and arrange them on a stand near the register next to some cards.
"I'm not sure yet...I want to get her something romantic," he sighed, "Do you have any ideas?" In all honesty, you felt as if Morgiana would just be happy with whatever. She wasn't the most picky person, and she was rather humble.
"Well, what does she like?" you asked, "Or rather is there something that she needs? I think a necessity would go a long way with her." Alibaba scratched at the back of his neck.
"Maybe I can get her a new phone...hers is kind of old," he thought aloud, before shaking his head, "What are you getting Kouha?" At that question, you let out a groan. You knew that it would probably be asked after you had asked yours, but it was still very dreadful to you. Kouha was a very rich boy after all. He was a model, had money, and came from a powerful family, so you weren't sure what to get him. You did mention that to him last night during dinner time, and his response was pretty expected.
"I'm not sure what to get him...," you honestly said, "So, I decided to ask him about it, and Kouha...well, he said 'all you need to do is put on some lingerie for me, baby.'" He had been half-joking when he said it, but you knew that was a desired route he wanted you to take. You did want to get him an actual gift, though. Alibaba chuckled slightly at your words.
"That sounds like Kouha," he nodded, "I'm sure you'll figure something out, [Name]. I also think that asking his siblings could be of help to you." At that, you couldn't help but to agree.
"Now [Name], we have a lovely selection of holiday lingerie here," you heard. You let out a groan as you turned to see Sinbad holding out a sexy elf set and a Santa one, "We also have Ms. Claus and Rudolph."
"I know, Sinbad. I stalked those myself," you told him. He merely let out a chuckle.
"You should get some for Morgiana, too, Alibaba," Sinbad mused as he put the lingerie down, "In any case, I'm having a party to kick off the holidays and you're both invited with plus ones as well. I'm also having an intimate get together with some close friends after Christmas and you're both invited to that, too, alright?" You had to admit that Sinbad did throw great parties, and his house was very nice and decorative.
"I'll ask Morgiana," Alibaba nodded.
"I'll ask Kouha," you replied with a slight shrug.
"Wonderful," Sinbad told the both of you, "Anyway, I have some shopping to attend to. The last one here closes the shop until the next shift." He pointed at you both before heading out the door. You knew that it was Alibaba who had the last shift of the daytime, and while you would usually feel sorry for him, you knew that he would be fine without you. He had been ever since you left for that duration of time.
"Sooo, I don't think anyone is going to come in this shop during the day shifts," you mused, looking at the busy street through the shop's front windows.
"Well, most people are busy getting ready for the holidays. It'll have to be a pretty slimy or kinky person to come into a sex shop at this time," Alibaba couldn't help but to nod. A person like that would truly have to have no shame, and you would applaud anyone who could do that. As if on cue, however, the shop bell did ring, making you look over. Your eyes widened a bit as you saw Sasha walking in with a big binder and a magazine. You then realized that she, like you, was an employee.
"Here's the Christmas catalog back. I wrote down everything I ordered plus the quantity," she smiled. She handled all of the inventory, ordering, and costumer service for both of the stores in the town, though she primarily was at the other one. Sinbad felt as if that was the most fitting job for her. You kind of felt as if the other shop was more structured despite being very new, but they did have more people.
"Thank you," you told her, taking the binder and catalog from her. You put it under the register counter. "So how are the others? Are you all going to Sinbad's party?"
"Mhmm!" she answered, "And everyone's doing great. Little Shop of Whores luckily has a pretty good customer base and great policies." You knew that she was probably happy that they now had protection from perverts.
"How's Kassim holding up?" Alibaba couldn't help but to ask. The two had been pretty close.
"He's good," Sasha chirped, "Anyway, I should be getting back. See you both!" With a curt wave she left the shop almost as quickly as she had come. You let out a breath of air and leaned against the counter once again. You were pretty much done with your hot chocolate, so you tossed in the trashcan that was behind the counter.
"Only a few more minutes," you mused, "And my shift will be done with." You were kind of excited to see your boyfriend and shop with him. You had to buy presents for your family and friends. It would be a lot, but you made sure to save up to at least be able to get everyone something, even if it were something small.
"And then another hour and mine will be over," Alibaba groaned as he thought about it. He knew that he would be board and slightly uncomfortable. He was a little bit used to it now, but he still preferred having company. You gave him a pat on the back, but before you could give any reassuring words, you noticed Kouha's car pulling in.
"He's a bit early," you mused, although you were very happy to see him. Kouha got out of his car and went inside of the shop. The bell ring was way too familiar. "Hey, babe." You smiled. Kouha walked over to the register and went behind it to give you a hug and a soft kiss on the lips.
"Hey, [Name], am I too early?" he asked, "I headed over here as soon as I was done with my Holiday shoot." You thought you noticed a bit of highlight on his cheeks.
"My shift is almost done," you explained, "And I didn't know you had work today." You honestly didn't know what Kouha had planned to do once he had dropped you off. You hadn't asked him nor had you been very focused on that.
"It was last minute," he mused, running a hand through his silky pink hair, "Can I take you early?" He motioned to the door. You couldn't help but to giggle a bit at his slight impatience.
"Babe, it's like three more minutes," you told him.
"Exactly," Kouha pouted, cutely. You smiled and leaned over to give him a kiss on the lips. He was still a bit huffy, but he kissed you anyway before turning his attention to Alibaba, who was slightly ignoring you both, "You still have to work?" he asked.
"Yeah, for another hour," he sighed. Kouha chuckled a bit at his dilemma.
"I'm sure if you just leave Sinbad won't notice," he pointed out. You and Alibaba glanced at each other at that, but then shook your heads. Sinbad trusted you both for good reasons, so you would make sure not to get roped into the bad influence that Kouha could be.
"We're fine, we're fine," you merely said, checking the clock. There was about one minute of your time left, "I'll start gathering my things." You left from behind the counter and went to the break room, making sure everything was in order before you left.
"Time to go?" Kouha asked you. You nodded as you handed a set of store keys to Alibaba as if to remind him to lock up once he left.
"Mhmm. Bye Alibaba, see you later," you waved to your coworker as you and Kouha left the store. You got in the passenger side of his car, and it wasn't long before you were both settled and driving away towards the mall. "So, do you want to talk about our Holiday plans?" You knew that you'd have to inform him that he would be meeting your family for the first time. You were sure that he probably realized this, although, you just wanted to make sure.
"Alright, babe," Kouha nodded, "Are we going to your family's house first or mine?" You weren't super sure of that yourself, in all honesty, so you just thought for a bit.
"How about, we spend Christmas at each of our families' houses alone, and then like the day after you come over to my family's house to pick me up and spend the night, and then we head back over to your family's house for a bit?" you asked. It would also give you time to talk to your family about Kouha.
"I mean, I guess...," Kouha said before letting out a sigh, "I kind of wanted to be with you on Christmas day, though." You smiled apologetically and put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"That would be ideal, but my family's home is kind of far...," you mused. It would be pretty impossible unless one of you didn't spend Christmas with your family. Kouha let out another sigh.
"We'll go with your plan then," he told you. It wasn't too long before you arrived at the mall. It was bustling with people once you got inside. You made sure to hold your fiance's hand so that you both could stick close to one another. "Which store do you want to head to first, [Name]?" You looked at him and shrugged.
"I'm not sure. I don't have much of an idea on what to get people...," you admitted. Kouha let out a chuckle.
"It's fine. Maybe you can get some ideas from what I'm getting. I have A LOT of family and friends to buy for after all," he pointed out. He was right about that. His family was pretty huge. Hopefully you could get some ideas from Kouha's gift shopping. With that in mind, you decided to just let him pick the stores that you had went into. Kouha's first stop was this high-end perfume shop. You looked around at all of the different beautiful displays lined in silver and gold colors. Right away you knew that you probably wouldn't be able to afford anything there. Good smelling things was a nice gift idea, though, so you kept that in mind. Perhaps you would head over to Bath and Body Works. "[Name], smell this," Kouha mused, holding a sample sheet of wonderful smelling perfume up to you.
"Oh, that smells nice," you said. It also smelt pretty sophisticated in your opinion.
"I think I'm going to buy perfume and handbags for my half-sisters," Kouha mused, "It's easy, and I think they'll appreciate it." He held up another bottle of perfume and had you smell the sample of that one as well. "What do you think?"
"I really like them both," you admitted, "I'm sure your sisters will as well." Kouha smiled at that and nodded. He made sure he got enough perfumes for his sisters at that shop and had a worker wrap them all up after purchasing them. You were amazed at how he barely even had to lift a finger. He just told one of the workers how many of each item he wanted, and they did the rest after he handed them his card. Your eyes started to wander over, wondering how much the perfume cost, but you were interrupted when an employee came over, handing Kouha two bags filled with the perfumes he bought.
"Here you are, babe~," Kouha mused, taking two unwrapped boxes out. One of each sent. "Since you seemed to like them as well, I bought some for you, too!" He seemed rather pleased with himself. You, on the other hand, looked a bit surprised. It wasn't as if Kouha had never bought you gifts before or anything like that, but they usually were fairly simple and cute. If it were anything expensive then it was usually during a holiday or something.
"Kouha...you really didn't have to do that," you said, feeling a bit weird about this. Kouha looked confused, however.
"You're going to be my wife, [Name]. It's only natural that I buy you things," he simply pointed out. The word 'wife' made you flush a bit. Sure you had thought of Kouha as your fiance, but the words 'husband' and 'wife' had yet to be used. Kouha put the boxes back in the bags for easier carrying before he simply grabbed one of your hands and tugged you along, "To the next store~." You knew that you probably wouldn't ever be able to really repay the favor of him buying you such gifts. Kouha brought you to a store that sold an array of bags and purses. "Let me know if you see anything you like, babe." You would be sure to keep to yourself. For one you weren't big on bags and purses, and two you still were slightly uncomfortable with this. Kouha started to look at the handbags and clutches. He chose eight different ones for all of his sisters and was once again having the employees take care of everything for him.
"I think Kougyoku would love the pink one," you gave a bit of input, not wanting to remain silent this whole time. You did like hanging out with Kouha, and you didn't want him to get the impression that you didn't.
"I know, I got that one for her," Kouha smiled, "What about you? Did you see anything you like?" At that, you quickly looked to the side.
"Uh, no, not really," you simply said, "So, what are you going to get for your brothers?" You decided to change the subject. Kouha put a finger on his incredibly smooth chin.
"Well, I'm probably going to get cooking supplies for Ryuu...fashionable coats for Ren and Yuu...Mei needs a more stylish briefcase ...As for En...maybe I'll get him some detailed history books, he likes those kinds of things...or maybe an ancient globe," he gave a shrug, still seeming a bit unsure. Then something clicked in his head, "Oh! We should look at engagement rings while we're here." At that notion, you gave a sigh.
"I really don't have a preference," you said. Kouha gave a pout.
"There's an amazing jewelry store here, though! Come on, lets just go and check it out, pleeeeaasseee," he gave you an incredibly cute face. You couldn't help but to give in on this.
"Alright, hon," you told him, kissing his cheek. Kouha perked up happily at that.
"Great! I'll show you the store. You're absolutely gonna love it~," he purred. Like before, he was handed everything once the workers were done wrapping up the gifts. Once that was said and done with, Kouha led the way to the jewelry store that he was talking about. You honestly hadn't thought about what ring you wanted yet. The walk hadn't been too long, luckily, but your mind wasn't on that for very long. You noticed how big and fancy the jewelry store was that he had brought you to. While you were a bit in awe, starting at a huge chandelier, Kouha pulled you inside, going right up to a sales clerk. "I'm looking for an amazing ring for my beautiful fiance here. Show me the best ones you have~." He seemed really happy to be doing this, and you were just going to let him have that, since seeing him happy made you feel happy, too.
"Here you are sir," the sales clerk said in a very professional voice as she pulled out a selection of engagement rings. They all looked very beautiful and grand to you. "Is there a particular cut or karat that you would like?" Kouha scanned over the rings that were placed before him. He didn't look very impressed once he saw them.
"When I said the best, I meant it," he told her, crossing his arms in annoyance, "A few of my brother-in-laws have gotten my sisters' engagement rings here, so I know you can do better." At his face, which looked rather cute to you, and tone the sales clerk quickly perked up and rushed over to a display case.
"Over here, sir," she said, pulling out two ring displays from the case, "We have rings with five to seven carats here. It's the biggest we carry." Kouha easily pulled you over, smiling down at the gorgeous set of rings. You couldn't help but close your eyes and reopen them for a bit when you saw them.
"How wonderful~," Kouha gushed before turning to you, "What do you think, [Name]? Which do you like? The princess cut is in right now, you know." You didn't think you could even touch those rings to be honest. It was all just too much for you.
"Well they're..." you trailed off.
"You want something better, babe? I could always have something imported," Kouha told you, "My fiance deserves the best after all~." He chuckled slightly. You felt as if that would make you feel even more uncomfortable. Kouha seemed happy, though, so you would just go along with it as best as you could.
"I guess I'll try a few on," you finally said, earning a smile from both Kouha and the sales clerk. "How about this one?" you said, pointing to the one nearest to you. Your hand was gently grabbed by the worker, and she slipped the ring onto your finger. It was very big, which you couldn't help but to easily notice.
"These rings start at fifty thousand," the sales clerk spoke, "The highest of them being four hundred and five." Your mouth couldn't help but to slightly widen when that was said. There was no way you could go around wearing something worth that much. "That one you're wearing is seventy-five." You couldn't help but to now stare at the ring. Kouha didn't seem to care at all though.
"So, what do you think, [Name]? Do you like it? Or would you prefer to try something else on?" he asked you. You were still shocked, and you couldn't help but to take the ring off, handing it to the clerk. "Did you not like that one?" You let out a breath of air, trying to seem calm.
"I'm not exactly sure if I want diamond," you said, hoping that would get you out of this situation. You wanted to tell Kouha that you did not want such an expensive ring. Of course you appreciated it and him, but you felt as if all of that money was best spent elsewhere.
"What kind of stone do you want then?" Kouha asked you, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow, "Diamond is best in my opinion, though."
"I think I need to do some more research," you merely said, "I'm not super knowledgeable on stones." Kouha let out a sigh and shook his head at that. He seemed a bit disappointed, but he was going to put your needs before his own.
"Alright, babe," he said, "But, if you do want to come back here, we can...while we're here, though, do you want some jewelry for Christmas? I think a necklace and some earrings will do nicely." At that, the shop clerk seemed to look hopeful. After all, she did make commissions on this. Looking at your fiance's face, you knew that he didn't want to leave empty handed. So, you let out a sigh.
"Surprise me, then. I'll be outside the store," you slightly grumbled. Kouha looked so excited at this, and he gave you a kiss on the lips. You left the store, feeling much better once you were out of it. Your and Kouha's wealth difference still made you feel a bit uncomfortable. If you were going to be married, you knew that you would need to talk about finances with him and how you felt. You would just have to find the right time to do it. You learned well that Kouha loves taking care of others, so you were going to let him do that. This, however, was all a bit too much. Maybe he felt like he could go wild since you were going to get married. He did seem less restrained than he had been when you were both just dating. Luckily for you, Kouha didn't take very long. He had a shopping bag from the place and he handed it to you.
"You can open it whenever you want to, babe," he told you, "Anyway, let's get started on your list. Do you have anything you need to get in mind." For some reason, you felt kind of weird at the idea of dragging Kouha around to regular stores after he had brought you to the luxury ones. Maybe though...he would get the point on your less than stellar finances if you did.
"I think going to Bath and Body Works will be good for little gifts for people," you explained as you started to head to that destination. Kouha merely nodded and followed along, not commenting. When you made it to the store, it was rather packed with people, probably also trying to get their gift shopping done. You easily made your way through the crowd, though, trying to look at the hand soaps and lotions. You were sure that would be good gifts for aunts or any cousins that you had to buy for.
"Ugh, this place is so full," Kouha spoke on how packed it was. Compared to the shops that he took you to before, this truly was filled to the top with people. Bath and Body Works was a pretty popular store, though, especially around the holidays. "Are you sure you want to shop here? I know of some good places that you can get similar things at [Name]." You couldn't help but to think that you probably wouldn't be able to afford whatever place he spoke about.
"I'm fine, babe," you merely said before smelling one of the soaps. You liked how it smelt, so you decided to get a few like that for gifts. Kouha let out a sigh as you said this. He made no move to leave the store, however. He just stayed next to you trying to avoid the chaos of all of the people rushing about to grab their items. "What do you think of this?" you decided to ask for his opinion to include him, so you held out some scented lotion for him to smell.
"Smells decent," he merely said, "You know if you want to buy some really good lotion that's good for the skin the-"
"I'm fine," you cut him off before going back to what you had been doing beforehand. After finding all of the items that you wanted, you then had to wait in the long line to pay for your items. Kouha seemed a bit annoyed at that part, but you couldn't blame him.
"Is there anywhere else you have to go after here?" he asked you, "Or are you done for today?" Truly, you hadn't gotten much, and you wanted to get a few things for your uncles, friends, and family that would just be simple gifts rather than things you would get the people that were extremely close to you just to get it all out of the way. You did have another shift at Little Shop of Whores soon, though.
"It depends on the time to be honest," you explained, "I wanted to at least get all of the simple and small gifts out of the way today..." You still weren't exactly sure what you wanted to get everyone either. It would take a little bit of thought so that you wouldn't get them anything crazy or not appropriate. Perhaps you could get your uncles ties or something else like that. You still weren't exactly sure.
"Well, babe, we can always come back later, or I can get your items for you," Kouha offered. At that, you quickly shook your head.
"Oh, that's fine, sweetie, I'll just come back another time," you told him. You didn't mind if he were to come back with you as well, but you just didn't want him doing your shopping for you. As you saw today, you both shopped on two different levels. "By the way, Sinbad's going to have a party to kick off the Holidays and we're invited."
"Alright, we can go to it," Kouha nodded.
It took a bit of time, but you finally made it to the register and paid for your items. When that was all said and done with, Kouha dropped you back off at Little Shop of Whores. You were the first one back, so you had to unlock the shop. Kouha also handed you the jewelry that he had bought, telling you to look at it when you got the chance. You knew that you would have to get used to this, because it just all seemed so very casual to him...You would still need to discuss with him your finances and about meeting your family. You let out a breath as you unlocked the shop door and walked in. Everything was quiet and still, which you enjoyed. You didn't exactly feel like dealing with customers at the moment. You just hoped that this work day would finish quickly. You went in the back area of the shop where the break room was and punched in your time. You then went to the storage room and made sure that there was no boxes that needed to be tended to. Once everything seemed as it should be to you, you went in the front where the register was and stood behind it in boredom. At least you would be paid for just standing there basically.
Some time passed, and you just started to play a game on your phone. You knew that it would be about another hour before Alibaba showed up. As you were on your phone, you received a text from Kouha that read 'Did you like it?' With a heart eyed emoji. You rose an eyebrow before remembering the jewelry that he had got you. You glanced over at the bag that you had lazily placed on the counter. Well, now would be as good a time as any to open it. So you curiously reached inside and felt two items. You pulled the first one out, eyes widening a bit as you noticed a diamond tennis bracelet. You felt like that was just way too much to be a thing that he randomly decided to get you. Then you remembered that there was another item. Reaching inside again, you pulled out a pair of white gold diamond earrings. Both of the items were in fact very beautiful, and you couldn't help but to look at them feeling both loved and uncomfortable. You were so entranced that you didn't notice the shop bell ring.
"..s'cuse me..." You wondered if you would miss the days where he just bought you stuffed animals, sweets, and non expensive presents on non-special occasion. At that time though, you did think they were rather pricey, but those did not compare to this at all, "Hey?! Excuse me!" You finally snapped out of your thoughts to the people before you. It was a couple that looked to be around thirty each.
"I'm so sorry," you said, quickly placing the items back into your bag. "What can I help you with?" The man looked rather annoyed, which you understood why, and who you assumed to be his girlfriend or wife just clung to his arm giggling all flushed.
"We want to watch one of your movies in the cinema," he told you, placing ticket money down. You nodded and grabbed the key for the dirty movie theater from behind the counter.
"Alright, which one do you want to watch?" you asked as you made your way to the cinema, motioning for the couple to follow. You were seventy percent sure that they were probably going to have sex in it, which was actually prohibited. You honestly didn't want to clean that up...poor Alibaba...
"Doesn't matter," the guy nonchalantly said as they followed you, "Whichever is hot." His partner giggled again, face still flushed. You unlocked the door for them and let them inside the viewing room, which resembled a regular movie theater except a bit smaller. Once they were inside, you went to a small control room that was next to the movie theater. You randomly chose a movie and put it on for them. You had no desire to stay and watch, especially since there was a chance that your boss could be in the film, so you left and went back to the register area. You felt as if you should text Kouha back and let him know that you liked the gift. You also felt like you should tell him that it was too much...you didn't know when, though, as you knew that he was happy that he could do this for you. You sent a quick text merely saying 'I love them, thanks baby'. It was true, you did love them...but there was still a bit of discomfort.
Some more time passed and Alibaba was walking in just as the couple from before was walking out. They both looked rather disheveled to you, making you figure that your assumption must have been true about what they were going to do in there. "Happy Holidays," you called out to them. Alibaba rose an eyebrow at them, but didn't question you about it.
"I'll go clock in...," he merely said as he passed the register area.
"Can you clean the theater once you're done?!" you called out to him. He merely rose up an arm as if in conformation. At least that was what you hoped it was. You couldn't help but to notice that he looked rather tired and a bit sad. He, after all, didn't dispute the task that you had just given him. With a sigh, you left your post and went to the break room to check on him.
"Everything alright?" you asked as you watched him slowly punch in his card. He then slowly turned to you, showing off his upset face.
"Morgiana and I got into a fight...," he told you which definitely caught your interest, "I didn't think she'd get so upset." He sunk down in a nearby seat at the little table that was in the room. You decided to sit down across from him.
"Well, what happened?" you couldn't help but to ask.
"You see...I told her that we should spend the holidays with my family, right? I told you about how I invited her earlier today," he started, "Well, she said that she wanted me to meet her family and I stupidly replied 'you have a family?' I thought she was an orphan...but apparently she had been adopted when she was a preteen." You looked rather shocked and your mouth opened up a bit because of that.
"H...How could you not have known that Alibaba?" you couldn't help but to question. You wondered if she had told him before and he just didn't remember, or maybe he hadn't been paying attention at that time. You had gotten to know Morgiana over the time that she and Alibaba had been dating, and you knew that she had been adopted. "Have you never talked about it with her before?"
"I don't knoooow. I could have," Alibaba let out a groan and put a hand on his face, "Now she's mad at me..."
"Just give her some time, alright?" you told him, reassuringly, "It was an honest mistake...at least I hope for your sake anyway...Just give her time. and then apologize." It was pretty much the only advice that you could give being as Kouha had been your only serious relationship.
"Okay...," Alibaba sighed. You stood up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't forget to clean out the theater." And with that, you went back to doing your job.
