Part 1 - Jackpot

...

<Pov: Carene>

...

Hah. Now is the Time. I must do it now!

We have already missed out on our quality time this morning. And I still need to go meet Celesta in the evening. There is no time left anymore!

After Sis Lin drove us back towards the City center and led us to the Commercial street, she parked her car at a parking lot and brought me along to this Restaurant. Although the facilities weren't the top tier people often frequent, the food was actually really good. It tasted really awesome, making me gulp down everything in front of me to satisfy my hungry stomach. Sometimes I really wonder if eating so much soon might have an impact on my figure or not.

Enough about that! Both of us were already done with our lunch, after which Sis Lin ordered some tea for both of us to enjoy our time together peacefully.

Sorry, Sis Lin... I know that you must have imagined this to be the end of the day for the two of us... but, I haven't even begun yet!

After having re-energized myself with lots of food, my inner desires became even more inflamed. No use stopping now. just come out and say it already, Carene!

"Um... Sis Lin? I was wondering if we could perhaps visit some place of my choosing as well. Of course, if you have to go back due to some other earlier arrangement, then I understand. But, if possible... can go together somewhere after this?"

Sis Lin paused for a while as she looked at that me with a surprised expression. She soon recovered though, and a soft look appeared in her eyes, as she spoke to me,

"Why, of course, we can. I really don't have anything going on today. So, where is it that you want us to go? Is it someplace fun near this place right here? Or, do we need to be there by some closing time?"

I wanted to reply back to Sis Lin's query immediately, however, I couldn't help but be stunned looking at her marvelous and charming profile.

Sis Lin... you are really a beauty!

The guy that ditched you, must have been a huge idiot to miss out on someone incredible like you.

Well, his loss, my gain.

And I will make sure to treasure this opportunity to my heart's content!

"That... a-actually, I wanted us to buy something together. I feel too embarrassed to buy it alone by myself. If you stay by my side and get one for yourself as well, then we can change into them together, so that... it won't be so awkward anymore."

"I see. I would be glad to come along with you, little Carene. But, you still haven't told me what you wanted to buy yet. It's okay. you can tell your big Sis Lin anything you want. there is absolutely no need to have any reservations between the two of us, alright?

"Then... *cough*... i-its l-lingerie."

"...what?"

Ahhhhh! I knew it! It totally isn't something anyone asks another girl on an outing... Just looking at her face staring at me so strangely... it really makes me feel like dying already!

Crap! Crap! CRAP!! Don't tell me that my decision to ask her out on Lingerie buying was wrong after all?

But, still... I have no intention of taking back what I just said. Sis Lin... it was very hard to be able to say it to you in the end. I have no intentions of taking back what I spoke or saying that you misheard me.

Those are my real feelings. Please... go out with me to buy some sexy lingerie.

I am almost dying already to see you in those stunning and sexy pieces of clothing!!

After enforcing self-restraint the whole time in the morning, I don't think I can hold back my desires anymore.

While I was waiting anxiously to get Sis Lin's response, a sudden look of realization and delight flashed upon her beautiful face, before she drank her tea in one go and finally spoke to me,

"O-Of course! Why not?! L-Let's go already! In fact, I know A Few Good shops around here. I am sure that we would get a good discount for them if we buy a pair together."

"It's the absolutely logical and normal decision to buy our Lingerie together. Hm, hm. No doubt."

"Time is of the essence, little Carene. Let's go now. Ah! Mr. Waiter?! Yes, here. Deduct our bill from this card. we have to leave urgently, so make it quick, please."

As I saw Sis Lin become so hyped up with high tension and behaving so energetically, I honestly began to doubt my eyes on what was happening in front of me.

Really, What's going on over here? A-Am I dreaming? Is this even real?

Ah! It hurts to pinch myself...

So, it's real...

Wait. don't tell me that Sis Lin misunderstood something here. otherwise, why would she look so eager to go with me?

Calm down, me! D-Don't jump to conclusions so quickly! Let's just think about this for a moment.

Ah. No matter how I think about this, I just can't help but admit the fact in front of myself.

Sis Lin... she really accepted my request so easily? Just like that?

Was it really so easy?

Then... what the hack was I doing wasting my time for the whole morning earlier?!!

An Idiot! I am really a big Idiot!!

..

Part 2 - Dumbfounded

...

While I was still feeling a bit confused, Sis Lin settled the payments for our meal, grabbed my hands, and began to lead me out of the shop as we quickly moved towards the Big Malls across the street.

I-It's... really happening?!

Aaaah! I feel So blessed!

Is this my lucky day today? Perhaps, c-could I have even won a lottery today?!

No. I already hit the jackpot. Getting to go Lingerie shopping together with Sis Lin... it's no less than any stupid lottery!

Ohhh... I somehow even feel like crying already...

No. hold yourself together, Carene. The war isn't over yet. In fact, it has just begun! Now that we are really doing this... I-I must behave like a responsible adult in front of Sis Lin. if she thinks of me as a child at this stage, then... it would be all over!

Haaah... I must make sure to regain my composure and take the lead once I am there. Let's show Sis Lin how dependable I really am!

As soon as we entered the Shopping Mall's first Clothing shop, I decided to take the lead into my own hands and confidently strode my way toward the female employee standing near the counter.

Calm down, Carene. I-It's just buying a few clothes. This is just a piece of cake for you. As easy as eating a Pie. Just relax and be confident.

Let Sis Lin see your confident and mature self from now on!

Mentally preparing myself for the unknown, I finally approached the sales assistant who had also noticed me staring at her for a while, as she turned around to face me and asked,

"Good afternoon, Miss. Welcome to the finest Apparel shopping store in this whole area, the Zuper Modelz. Did you... come together with your friend here today to buy something specific?"

I was so winded up from all my self-pep talk that I totally missed the Saleswoman's identification of us two being just friends.

After taking a deep breath to stabilize my inner panic, I quickly replied back to the clueless Saleswoman.

"W-We are here... to buy some lingerie!"

Sis Lin also came closer to stand beside me as the Saleswoman took turns looking at both of us before she started to lead us toward a different section of the Shop.

"So, if you ladies are here to specifically buy that only, then you must have already decided on what kind you would want to buy as well, right?"

And that was when my body became stiff all of a sudden.

K-Kinds? What... is she talking about here? I mean, what types are there? They are all lingerie, right? Bra... panties... bikini... swimsuits... these, are all, right?

I don't remember even hearing about there being any other types of lingerie or anything.

Oh! So, she meant colors and patterns! Yeah, she must have meant that. I panicked there for a moment. Thankfully, my mind quickly found out what was going on. If not, who knows what Sis Lin would have thought about me?

"O-Of course, we are sure! We want... some blue and pink kinds, that can fit our figure... and look trendy as well!"

There! Take that!! You are amazed, right? Don't take us for being amateurs.

After all, it's the amalgamation of all my previous shopping experiences online in the past!

See now, Sis Lin? Look at how dependable and knowledgeable I really am!

...

Different from how I expected her to react, the Saleswoman looked very confused instead as she stopped in her tracks and turned back to ask me,

"Well, that's okay. But there are many kinds available here for your choosing, like Plunge, Tube, Strapless, Racerback, Padded, Push-up, Multiway, Halter, Stick on, Minimizer, Tank, Camisole, Chemise, Sports, Corset, Girdle, Garter, G-string, Thong, Brazilian, Cheeky, Brief, Shorts... among many others."

"Also, if you would like to try our Bikini selections, then there are Bandeay style top, Halter top, Bow top, Triangle, Flounce top, V-wire top, Thin-strings bottoms, Tie-side bottoms, Boy shorts, High cut, Fold-over bottoms, High-waist skirted bottoms, Hipster bottoms..."

As I kept hearing the Saleswoman going on and on... and on about God knows how many kinds of lingerie, cold sweat quickly covered my whole body and I couldn't help but panic a lot suddenly.

W-Wait a second! Are there really so many kinds?! And why isn't that list ending anytime soon? That woman is going on and on about whatever kinds from God knows where!

I mean, I do know about Thongs and G-strings... but what's that Lunch thing or that Hold over stuff?

Whenever I checked out swimsuit or underwear models online before, I don't remember if I heard anyone mentioning these things at all?!

They all just talked about whether the boobs looked good, or whether the underwear looked sexy enough or not!

Now hold on. Sis Lin... she was right next to me, right? Then... did she hear everything just now?!

Aaaaah!! How awful! She must have discovered that I am a complete amateur at this!

Darn it! I threw away my one chance of gaining her admiration...

She would surely think of how unreliable and immature I really am, to not even be able to buy my own underwear by myself!

I somehow even mess that up...

By now, I had already given up Halfway and concluded our Lingerie buying to be a failure by all means. Although the Saleswoman looked to be very enthusiastic to introduce much more stuff to us, I was honestly spacing out at the moment, as my mind was totally off the game right then and there.

And, that was when Sis Lin unexpectedly took over control of the situation.

"Please introduce each of them one by one to us. We would sample and see if they would fit us, after which we can decide whether we would like to buy it or not."

The Saleswoman seemed surprised by Sis Lin's strong voice, as she quickly collected herself and began to pick some of the lingerie for us to see.

As I began to feel deep admiration from within my heart towards Sis Lin's coolness, she unexpectedly turned towards me and spoke,

"Little Carene. Since we are here to buy them, why don't we buy a few for you first? Then, we can buy some other stuff as well before we finally leave this place."

And all of a sudden l, the dimness of my mind went away with a spark of inspiration and I quickly remembered my real objective of coming here with Sis Lin.

T-That's right. What are you doing, Carene?

I didn't come here to show off my Lingerie knowledge to Sis Lin!

My eyes... my soul... they are dying to see Sis Lin trying out different kinds of Sexy clothing!

Ohhhhhhh!! That's exactly it!

Sis Lin, my Goddess... please show me your graceful figure in all of its glory today!!

After regaining my fighting spirit, I quickly held Sis Lin's soft hand and spoke to her with a heavy tone,

"No, Sis Lin. I would much prefer to see you try those things first. Let me see if those designs are to our liking. If I really like some designs, then I can try a pair on myself as well. That way, both of us would be able to buy things together, right?"

Sis Lin looked to be contemplating my suggestion, when all of a sudden, she gave me a beautiful smile and nodded back at me. With a strange glint in her eyes, Sis Lin spoke to me,

"Okay. As you wish, dear Carene. If you want me to be your personal Lingerie model for today, then it would be my pleasure to do so. Let's go! I am sure that we can find something very cute for you today as well!"
