I lay in bed naked and panting, feeling the traces of orgasm pulse through my veins, better than what usually pulsed through there. I turned over and saw the sleeping face of my boyfriend of six months, Garland. His naturally feminine features were beautiful in the morning light, and I caressed his face, causing him to stir slightly and snuggle closer to me.
I was simply enjoying the moment, with no thought of the past or future, simply lying in bed ascending through the heavenly sinful bliss of fornication.
For I was dreading today.
For our six month anniversary, I was to take Garland shopping for a new dress. Then we were to go dancing. How awful. I liked his current dress, a baby blue petticoat made of thin cotton and decorated with roses in different shades of pink. But he wanted a more sexy, expensive one that suited an older woman, and I hated it.
After we recovered from our natural high, Garland turned over me and traced invisible lines on my torso with his fingernails, making me laugh and shudder.
"You haven't forgot our anniversary have you?" He sadly asked, expecting the worst. I fought back the logical urge to correct his vocabulary and smiled, shaking my head.
"Not at all. But you need to wait for your present," I grinned, my tongue running across the top row of sharp teeth, and Garland frowned.
"Sex is not a present!" He pouted, thinking I had indeed forgotten. I sighed in exasperation.
"I'm taking you shopping and getting you a dress, then we're going dancing. That's your present,"
His bad mood and troubles forgotten, Garland squealed and attached himself to me, snuggling in. It was funny how mirrored our feelings were. Him in delight at the excursion and myself in delight that he was a quick shopper. I flung on a cardigan and Garland some jeans and a shirt so we could leave.
Getting to Harrods (yes, I'd been saving up for Harrods) we were welcomed by an acquaintance of mine, an irritably camp gay man named Christy Konly. He was older than me by two years and far taller. He led us to the dress section and began to play lapdog to Garland following him around suggesting dresses to push a sale. In the chaos, I noticed a garment I rather liked and skunked into a changing room.
