We walked to the store, further helping to validify my excuse. Inside the store i pretended to examine the strawberries, but said aloud that they were too expensive to buy right now. Shigure merely nodded, agreeing with me. He held his own poker face, which unnerved me for it made me doubt my own.
"Well, it seems we have wasted our time coming to the store. I had planned to make a strawberry shortcake for desert tonight on top of a feast for a dinner, but until the price goes down it seems I shall have to wait. I would have bought the entire meal tonight and needed your help carrying it all home, though now it seems it does not matter." I said, the lie slipping from my tongue like silk. It was a believable excuse, and a reason for needing help on this trip. Hopefully it would cover for my folly earlier.
Again, Shigure nodded. "I understand, but why not just buy the dinner ingredients now so that you won't need to waste another trip to the store later when the price goes down?"
He was going to try and make me lose my cool and blow the whole thing. Shigure had indeed caught on. "The food would probably have gone bad by the time the price drops."
"Then why not just buy the strawberries while they are so expensive, if you plan to just spend a lot of money on the meal to begin with?"
I gave a false modest smile. "While my math skills may not be perfect, I calculated the cost with Yuki as to how much it should cost to buy everything needed for the meal, and only brought that much." It was the truth this time.
"Then why not spend the money on getting us a motel room tonight instead?"
My eyes shot open. The question had been so sudden, I knew it gave myself completely away. Shigure merely smirked as he leaned into me, his lips next to my ear.
"I am not a fool, Tohru. I have seen your eyes. Your grocery store outing was a poor cover story, though you will get points for having one. When you play with fire, be prepared to be burned. Be prepared to be engulfed by the flames..." His lips found mine, and even though we were in a public store, I allowed myself to kiss him back with as much passion as he kissed me. His tongue entered my mouth, searching, exploring, caressing.
It felt good to play with fire. It felt better to be burned.
She led me to the grocery store, and tried to act out her supposed reason for going out. She bent down to examine the strawberries. As she went low to a squatting position, although she herself did not notice, her short skirt flared up ever so slightly and flashed more skin than cloth. She was wearing a thong.
Just as quickly as she went down she came back up, turning to me. "Well, it seems we have wasted our time coming to the store. I had planned to make a strawberry shortcake for desert tonight on top of a feast for a dinner, but until the price goes down it seems I shall have to wait. I would have bought the entire meal tonight and needed your help carrying it all home, though now it seems it does not matter."
I nodded to her, amused. "I understand, but why not just buy the dinner ingredients now so that you won't need to waste another trip to the store later when the price goes down?"
"The food would probably have gone bad by the time the price drops." she replied.
"Then why not just buy the strawberries while they are so expensive, if you plan to just spend a lot of money on the meal to begin with?" I countered.
She failed to give the impression of a modest smile. "While my math skills may not be perfect, I calculated the cost with Yuki as to how much it should cost to buy everything needed for the meal, and only brought that much." She actually said the truth on something. Amazing. But enough of this charade, it's time to show your hand, Tohru...
"Then why not spend the money on getting us a motel room tonight instead?"
Her cheeks flamed immediately ass her eyes widened. No one was currently in the aisle we occupied, so I felt no shame in admitting I wanted to have sex with an eighteen year old girl. I leaned in close to her, denying her the chance to escape her to fluster her way out of it. She was caught and had to know it. "I am not a fool, Tohru. I have seen your eyes. Your grocery store outing was a poor cover story, though you will get points for having one. When you play with fire, be prepared to be burned. Be prepared to be engulfed by the flames..." I kissed her then, my lips claiming hers in a heated passion play. With my tongue I explored every crevice in her mouth, as a foreplay to what would soon follow. She kissed me back with as much passion I knew she was prepared for it, too.
