"What?" She looked at me not understanding.
"Are you going to admit it, or do I have to force it out of you?" I said through gritted teeth.
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb, I just saw the bag." She was clearly upset but dropped her façade. I slammed my hand down on the steering wheel. I asked her again to confess what she bought. She reached back to take the bag. I watched her pull out a small box and open it to show me its contents. Inside was a ring, it matched a family heirloom necklace that she wore all the time.
"If you wanted the ring, you should have told me. I would have bought it for you."
"It's not for me sir, I bought it for you."
"Excuse me?"
"I got it for you. It was a perfect match to my necklace. I wanted you to have something that I gave you. I was nervous that you wouldn't like it so I was going to wait to show you. I can take it back. I'm sorry, it was a stupid idea." Before she could put the ring away I snatched it from her. I slid it on my ring finger. I took a moment to marvel at the gift. It fit perfectly. I let her know just that.
"Fits perfectly, I love it." My desire to kiss her was overwhelming so I leaned in to take one from her lips. I thanked her and turned over the car. On our journey to the grocery, I was trying to figure out what to do with Ava. I loved my gift, but I had said that any dollar spent would result in a punishment. Should it still count if the money wasn't spent on her? I decided that I needed to add one more stop on our shopping date. I pulled into a classy boutique.
"Aiden, why are we here?" Ava asked following me out of the car.
"I want to buy you a dress for dinner tonight." I explained. "I want to; and I thought that was all the reason you needed?" She giggled, bringing a smile to my face. When we entered a clerk converged on us like a shark going after fresh meat. Before we knew it Ava was being pushed into a changing room with her first dress and I was left outside on a couch waiting for her.
After many, many dresses we were down to our top three. I had the clerk leave us alone to give us time to decide. I joined Ava in the changing room.
"So, which one do you like best?" I asked her. She looked over the three dresses on the rack. I wrapped my arms around her so my hands rested on her stomach.
"I don't know. They are all so beautiful. They are so expensive though."
"Ava stop worrying about it. Just choose the one that you want."
"Which one do you like best?"
"It doesn't matter, we will get the one you like."
"Come on, help me choose. I don't know which one."
"Then we will buy all three."
"Aiden!" I laughed as she looked back at me shocked. I was serious, but I knew she would force herself to choose one so I wouldn't. I reached out and picked up one of the dresses. I put it in front of her so she could see it in the mirror.
"What do you see."
"I see you and me with a dress in front of me."
"Alright, now that we have the most obvious answer, I'll tell you what I see. You in one of these dresses; me, in my suit, together on a luxurious date. I want you to get one of these dresses so I can fulfill that fantasy. Stop caring about the price tag; and choose one." She sighed and looked at the dresses again.
"Let's get this one." The one she chose was my personal favorite. But I wanted her to choose the one she liked, not what she thought I wanted her to get.
"Are you sure Ava? Get what you want. I like all of them." She nodded. I figured that was the best I was going to get from her. We left the dressing room with the dress. The clerk was pleased when we went to the register.
"I was hoping you would choose that one. It fits your figure just perfectly." The clerk was right. She had chosen a black, fitted, halter top dress. I bought her a pair of shoes to go with the dress and we left. It took us about another hour to before we were home with our groceries, sex toys and clothing. Ava helped me bring everything into the house.
