You feel your phone vibrate with a message from your girlfriend, Ciara.
Hi sweetie, I’m done with my shopping if you’re done with yours. Wanna meet up? xx
Sure! Meet up at the food court?
See you there! xoxo
In just a few minutes, you watch her come around the corner, a few bags of groceries and other things swinging on her arms. The second she sees you, her face brightens, and she leans up to kiss you. “Jason!”
You smile and wrap a hand around her back, and gently take a few of the bags from her. Then, you gesture at the table, where you’ve already taken the liberty of buying two frosted donuts, and an enormous chocolate milkshake with two straws. Ciara smiles and slides into a seat across from you. She almost melts as she bites into her donut.
“So, was your shopping expedition successful?”
“Oh, yes,” she mumbles between mouthfuls. “Got all our shopping, and a little more.” She gives a secretive smile, and raises an unmarked bag. As she dips her hand in, you see the glimpse of something lacy and red, just like her hair. You feel something stirring in your pants.
“But how was your expedition? Find anything interesting?”
You finger the flashlight in your pocket. “You could say that.”
Should you tell her about your new toy? You hope that Ciara wouldn’t mind - you’ve been living together for three years by now, and she’s the most supportive and open-minded person you’ve ever met. But, on the other hand, the sheer power and, most importantly, the ‘awareness’ settings could lead to paranoia and distrust between the two of you, and you really don’t want to mess up this relationship.
Ciara is still looking at you expectantly.
