The gold garters lock into a pair of sheer tights that accentuate my thighs and calves, and for the first time since having Olive, I feel sexy.
Even with my wider hips, my not as firm stomach and stretch marks, I feel confident. Sexy. Beautiful in this new skin.
“Yes, I’m sure, oh my god. You look flawless,” Holland assures me. She fidgets with the strand on her garters, before standing straight to look at herself in the mirror.
“This is definitely the one. Red is the sexiest color ever, and somehow you make it look even better,” I tell her.
“Red is Reed’s favorite color,” she grins, “not that it will last past five seconds before it’s in a pile of scraps on the floor.”
The thought of Briggs ripping this from my body has my thighs clenching together. I can imagine wearing this for him, seeing his reaction.
Which is precisely the reason that I decide to buy it before I can talk myself out of it.
“Juliet, are you ready?” Holland asks.
"Yes, this thing is sooooo see-through though.”
I laugh. “Uh, well, we’re standing here in next to nothing so it’s your turn.”
Seconds later, the dressing room door opens, and Juliet walks out wearing a black lace negligee that has a built-in bra and falls to the tops of her thighs. It’s gorgeous and even more so on her.
“What do you think? Is it too much?” She fidgets with the crisscross strap nervously.
“It’s amazing, oh god Juliet, you have to get this!” Holland cries, stepping down off the platform to walk over to Juliet and help her untangle the crisscross strap on her back. Once she does, Juliet turns toward the mirror again and then nods. “Yes, this is the one.”
“I’m not going to lie. I thought this was probably going to be a terrible idea once you told me, but now I’m so glad that you did. I haven’t really felt much myself since having Olive. Not with all the changes in my body and the fact that I feel like I’ll never look the way I did before. Today made me feel like the old me. I feel sexy.”
“Me too. I’m so glad we did this. I mean most friends probably wouldn’t go try on skimpy lingerie on their first friend date, but I really feel like this sets the precedent.” Juliet giggles and Holland tosses her head back and laughs.
“I’m glad we did too. I really needed a few girlfriends that I could be myself around. It means a lot to me that you girls welcomed me with open arms.”
Holland smiles. “You’re stuck with us for life, sister.”
“That’s the best thing I’ve heard all week.”
I’m more thankful than ever for today.
Now… to work up the courage to actually wear this for Briggs.
