“What was what?”
Crap. There’s no playing this off.
“Did something happen?” Her face widens in shock. “Have you been holding out on me this whole time?”
“We’ve been out for an hour, Ivy.”
“And that’s an hour too long if something happened!” She throws off her top and pulls on the one she brought in with her to try on. “Did something happen?”
I nod.
“Oh my God!” she shrieks.
I shush her. “I don’t think everyone in the store heard you.”
“What happened?” Her voice softens, but only a little.
I bite the corner of my mouth. “Everything.”
“Oh my God!” Ivy’s back to shrieking.
“Will you please keep it down?”
“That’s your own fault for telling me when we’re shopping.”
“Ugh, fine.” I finger the lacy cup of the bra that’s hanging in the dressing room. “Speaking of, why are we looking for lingerie? I thought you needed a new top for the date.”
It still astounds me that my big sister is this creative. I don’t have a creative bone in my body.
“Never hurts to look nice underneath too.” She pulls a shirt down over her head. It’s one of Layla’s newest designs. It’s a simple nude tank with a floral overlay. Probably one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen.
“Are you listening to me?” Ivy turns in the mirror, admiring the top. “Or did Blake take your brains too?”
“Stop it.” I drop into the chair in the oversized dressing room. “Is this really what you want to talk about right now?”
“Yes.”
“Only if you keep your voice down.”
“You two doing okay in here?” Layla’s voice sounds from over the door.
“Fine!” I answer before Ivy can.
“Be out in a second,” Ivy calls out. Stripping out of the top, Ivy puts on what she was wearing earlier and hangs the top back up.
“All set.”
“That’s it?” I look at the pile on the bench.
“This is it.” She holds out the top on the hanger. “It will drive my man crazy.”
Grabbing the matching bra and underwear, I follow her out of the dressing room. She stacks the nos on the go-back table. Before I can put the sexy lingerie on the rack again, Ivy stalls me.
“You keep eyeing this. You need to get it.”
Ivy thrusts the lacy lingerie set into my hands. The light blue material is see-through, with gold vines wrapping over the material. It’s stunning.
“I don’t know what I’d do with this.”
