Choosing what to wear was an important task for Mel. A lot of factors went into her clothes, how it fit, did the colors compliment her skin, was the outfit comfortable. She didn't take fashion lightly, and it carried on into every outfit. Pajamas even had to be picked carefully. Past partners of hers called her high maintenance. And yes, maybe she was. But if people were allowed to be low maintenance she should have her vices as well.
"Do you think this would match with the ATVs or should I save this for the beach?"
Mel had on a black bikini set that sported nipple piercings in the bralette. She figured the added accessory would match the edginess of being in an all terrain vehicle. With all that dirt. But maybe it would fit on the beach, contrasting the chill vibes of the ocean. She waited for her girlfriend's response, who was settled on the edge of their bed. Watching intently and patiently.
"Save it for our private pool in the Airbnb."
"That's not what I asked."
Sevika shrugged. "Just what I think."
"You said that about the three previous ones."
"You bought twenty swimsuits Mel."
"And?"
"There's plenty of options you can wear to the beach. Save some for my eyes only, huh?"
Mel rolled her eyes. Of course her gay ass would say that. "Of course, your gay ass would say that."
"I'm just being honest."
"I don't even know why I asked you." Mel walked to her shopping bags on the floor, searching for the next swimsuit to try on.
"I don't know either. From what I remember, I don't know fashion."
And Mel was right when she told Sevika that. She had her moments, whenever they went out on dates. But Sevika's go to fit was sweatpants and a muscle tee. Which Mel didn't mind, it'd be a shame to hide those arms. Her girlfriend just had no business thinking jorts were a reasonable thing to wear in public.
Sevika couldn't provide any real input, other than looking at Mel like a snack. Which was fine sometimes, but not when she had important decisions to make.
"This next one I try on can't be for the airbnb."
"Even if I say please."
"Nope. You gotta pick."
Mel slid her top off, not paying any mind to Sevika's attention on her. Sevika was just grateful to be in the same room. The truth was anything Mel tried on, she looked good in. It was hard for Sevika to choose anything for any occasion.
Mel slipped on the next suit, which was a brown one piece that showed her back and stomach. The color complimented her nicely, and it let her belly button piercing be out and proud. Sevika's eyes couldn't stay off Mel's butt, it looked great in this one.
"Beach or ATV?"
"Hmmm."
"Sevika."
"How do you feel about a lifeguard roleplay?"
"I'm never asking you for anything ever again."
"Beach! Beach, okay it would look great with a sunhat." Sevika grabbed Mel's hand, swinging it between them. "Try on another one."
"You're lucky you were right about the sunhat."
Sevika kissed the back of Mel's hand. "I'll be good."
Mel rubbed the back of Sevika's head, feeling the undercut under her fingers. "You better be."
