CHAPTER 23
MYOME KING
“Let’s go.” Drix sprinkled kisses along my hairline. “Come on. We’ve got shit to do.”
I yawned and grumbled.
“Like what?”
“Like shopping.”
“Shopping?” I repeated.
“Yep. Come on.” He yanked the blanket off me and I sighed but pushed myself up.
“Alright. Alright. I’m up.”
Drix offered me a hand and helped me to my feet. I stretched and he swatted my ass as I slipped past him into the bathroom to run through my morning routine.
When I got downstairs he already had a smoothie made for me and we headed out.
It had been two weeks since I’d admitted I wasn’t sure I could do this no matter how badly I wanted it and Drix hadn’t let up pouring support into me. He encouraged me daily and it made me work harder at choreography and keeping things professional with Retta.
When we got to the boutique Berlin had apparently picked out, my door was opened for me and the woman in front of the store had a huge smile on her face.
“Mr. and Mrs. King,” she greeted us. “We just finished prepping for your session.” She gave us a huge smile.
I looked over at Drix.
“Session?”
“Yeah. We’re private shopping for tour.” He yanked the door open and gestured for me to head inside first.
As soon as the door closed behind us, we were offered water and led toward a staircase. Drix’s hand rose to my waist as we walked up and I did a double take when I was met with Charm, Retta, and Allison seated against the wall.
Allison hopped up immediately and my eyebrows knitted together.
“Hey?” I looked between the three of them. “What’s up?”
“Allison is here to pick the outfits out.” Drix said. “Charm and Retta are for consistency purposes.”
I blinked up at my husband in complete and utter shock.
“You’re getting us clothes for the tour?”
“Yep.” He kissed the side of my head and tapped me on the butt. “Allison is leading,” he told the saleswoman.
“There’s eighteen dates on the tour, so we’re looking for eighteen nights worth of outfits. We want colors and patterns that somewhat match but for the outfits to be in different styles for the women. We don’t want three exact copies of anything,” Allison said.
“Okay! Sure. So, we’ve already pulled items if you’d like to take a look.”
“Sure.”
The saleswoman gestured for Allison to follow her and Allison gestured for us to come along as well. Charm and Retta trailed her and I nudged Drix with my elbow.
“You don’t think this is a sort of huge gift, Berlin?” I lifted an eyebrow.
“Nah. It’s an investment in your future, baby.” He nudged his head toward the direction the ladies headed in. “Get in there and tell Allison don’t have your ass naked either,” he joked.
