Baby left my office area and went upstairs. I could hear the shower running, so I checked my email and looked at our sales projections for a few minutes. About a half hour later she came downstairs.
"Daddy, I'm hungry. Can we go get something to eat?"
"Sure, honey. Let me make a call and we'll go."
I punched the number in as she went back upstairs. I rushed through the call and soon joined her in the living room. She was seated on the couch, watching tv. I sat beside her and put my arm around her neck.
She leaned back against me and snuggled in. I always loved holding her, and she loved it as well. Many nights we had sat together like that, eating popcorn and watching television.
It felt great to hold her and I would have stayed there all evening, but she kissed my cheek and got up.
"I thought we were going out to eat."
"Ok, Ok, get off my back."
I laughed as I grabbed her and tickled her until she screamed and kicked, trying to get away. I tickled her a few more times and let her go. She fell to the floor laughing as she always did.
I took her hands and pulled her up. She stood up then, and I pulled her to me and kissed her cheek. She turned and kissed my mouth. I didn't react immediately and she pulled back and ran to the door.
I followed and we drove to the mall. She loved an Italian restaurant there, and we ate dinner. She wanted to get some running shoes, so she left to find a pair and I strolled around.
I saw Victoria's Secret and looked in the windows at the displays. I loved to shop there and had spend thousands of dollars over the years, before my wife left. I missed those shopping trips more than I missed her.
I went in and walked around. I didn't have any intentions of buy anything, because I didn't have anyone to buy for.
I found a night shirt with a little pattern and I took it from the wall. I checked the size. I looked at others and found the right size for Baby. I held it and a sales lady came to me and looked at the shirt.
"That's cute." We have silk pajamas on sale this week. Did you see them?"
"No, I don't think she likes pajamas."
"Well how about a nice silk gown?"
She took me to the inner room and showed my a display of knee high and longer gowns. I felt the texture and smiled. She looked at the nightshirt size and found a corresponding gown.
The cream color was calming and I liked the feel of the material between my fingers. I placed in on top of the night shirt.
I was hooked then and I went to the camisoles and corset area. I found a soft pink camisole with matching boy cut panties. I found the right size and gave it to the sales lady.
By the time I left, I had purchased two panty bra sets, the camisole, night shirt, gown and a black lace garter belt with bra, panties and stockings.
I stopped at an Old Navy store and bought myself a jacket and put the pink VS sack inside the Old Navy bag. I went to the shoe store and found her paying. We left the mall and got in the car.
"Show me your shoes."
She pulled the box out of the bag and removed a shoe and handed it to me. I turned it over and looked at the strange sole and the top of the shoe. I handed it back and started the car.
"Show me what you bought."
"Wait till we get home."
"OK, then, what did you buy?"
She turned to the back seat and reached for my bag. I stopped her.
"Don't be so nosey. I didn't know you were so interested in my boxer shorts."
I laughed.
"Yuck."
She laughed and turned back to the front.
We pulled into the street. She fiddled with the radio and then slid over next to me. She had never sat that close before. It was getting dark and I turned the lights on.
I decided to go by the office to be sure the employees had turned the lights off.
