Haha yeah. Fail ):

"Really?" Elaina grinned, "Fine then. You can speak French. But keep the adorable phrases to a minimum!"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Ours is usually alright, actually. We used to have tons of trouble, but it's alright now.

"Okay, sounds like a fair deal," Christien agreed with a quiet chuckle, cuddling her closer. The taxi got to their destination about ten minutes later. Christien paid the driver, then stepped out of the car and held the door for Elaina.

 

[VideoStar95]

Hopefully my people get it together! I need internet! Haha

Elaina slipped out and took his hand, intertwining her fingers with his. "Oh," She coeed, looking around the street where there was a bustle of activity, with a bewildered look.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Hope so, too.

Christien said to Elaina, "Welcome to one of the most famous shopping streets in the world," as he lead her further onto the pedestrian areas. Lining both sides of the wide road were endless amounts of gorgeous shops to look in.

 

[VideoStar95]

"Ah, this is amazing!" Elaina peeked inside each and every one of the stores, bouncing up and down on her heels. "Let's go in that one! Please, Chrsitien, please?" She asked, pointing to one of the large shoe stores.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Christien enjoyed seeing her so excited by this. He motioned for her to go right in when she asked him. "You don't have to ask, just pull me in and I'll go wherever you like."

 

[VideoStar95]

"Oh, thank you! If we weren't in a kind of game right now I'd kiss you!" Elaina grinned childishly and yanked him into the store, gently of course. She picked up a pair of black leather boots, admiring them before pulling him to the nearby dressing room. "Wanna come in with me?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Christien followed behind willingly, letting her pulling him by the hand. At her question, though, he said, "You're not afraid that that'll look slightly weird to everyone else?"

 

[VideoStar95]

Elaina raised an eyebrow, "Well, babe, it's a shoe store. I don't think it'd be that weird to everybody else." She laughed and pulled him inside, locking the door and sitting on one of the benches, pulling off her sandles and squeazing her feet into the boots. Meanwhile, she asked him, "Are there any lingerea stores near here?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"Yeah, but generally in shoe stores people go out and walk around and then show everyone else what they look like. People are always suspicious no matter what store it is if you're both going in. Paticularly if you don't need to," Christien contradicted. Still, she obviously didn't care and stayed put in the dressing room with her. He replied to her question, "Probably. I've never visited any but I'll take a look. I think a lot of girls I know always talk about this one place being particularly nice."

 

[VideoStar95]

"Well," Elaina smirked at him after triumphantly getting the boots on, "how will I show you what I like in there if you're not in the dressing room with me? I mean, I don't think the whole store wants to see me in skimpy clothing." She stood up, balancing somehow on the large heels and studying her reflection. "Do you think this makes me look a bit too leg-ish?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"You're not allowed to take your clothes off in front of me, if you remember. It's one of tne rules you'd laid down at the very start," Christien pointed out with his own signature smirk on his face. He looked down at her boots ahd said, "They're the right kind of boots for you, I'd say. Whether you like this particular pair or not, though, is down to you."

 

[VideoStar95]

"Lingerea is too clothes!" Elaina pouted at him, wondering how else she would be able to win if she couldn't show some skin. She really couldn't conjure any other idea. "Fine then, I'll buy what I like then and you won't be able to see. And hmm, I do like these boots a lot." She glanced down at them, "But I don't want to buy what I don't need."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"Well, either you get rid of that rule so I can see you in it, or you lose out, don't you?" Christien said, adding in a playful dismissive shrug to make it look like he couldn't care less, just to annoy her. Addressing her thoughts over the boots he said, "So you have a pair like them?"

 

[VideoStar95]

Elaina narrowed her eyes at him and thought for a few long minutes before stating, "So, we can go clothless, as long as it's not completely naked, there can just be no touching. Good?" Responding to his shoe question she replied, "Well, no, but I can always just wear these fabulously plain flip-flops. I don't exactly need sexy boots."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"So, are you ruling out touching altogether, or just touching while someone's clotheless?" Christien asked her, to clarify. "This game is getting complicated!" he laughed. Relating to the boots, he said, "Well, I personally don't think you have to wear boots to look sexy, because you look sexy all the time, so my opinion's useless. It's up to you."

 

[VideoStar95]

"Just while somebody's clothless; kissing is ruled out all together. And yeah, well, seduction is complicated!" Elaina responded with a light giggle before, once again, gazing down at her boots. "I haven't ever had a pair of French boots before...or boots at all for that matter. So I'm going to get them!" She grinned, changing back into her sandles, and cradling the boots, happy with her decision.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"Okay, I understand you now," Christien nodded in acknowledgement of the new rules. "Complicated?" he repeated, and then leaned closer to her, his lips near her ear. "Il ne doit pas etre complique.." he murmured, then drew back with a smirk on his face. "I'm glad you're buying the boots," he told her, "I think you look great in them. I just didn't want to affect your decision too much."

 

[VideoStar95]

Elaina's motuh involuntarily opened a bit when Christien murmured in her ear. "That's not fair," she whimpered, averting her eyes to the floor so she wouldn't look at himl which would make her wanting even worse. Without saying thank you, for her own shake, she hurried out to the cashier and politely gave the women the card that the hotel had provided for the two of them.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Well, I'm off. 'Night!

Christien smiled triumphantly to himself as she left, making his way over to near the cashiers in his own time, hands in pockets and looking ever so casual. He was deeply satisfied with how she'd reacted to his speaking French.
