Thread: Innocents Sold ( Closed for CrimsonMaster&SweetTemptation)

Emily blushed deeply as she took Charles' hand and stepped down from the carriage. You are going to spoil me. I don't need much really. She kept hold of his hand as she stood beside him and looked from Charles to Duncan's faces. Honestly Charles. She was smiling as she looked at them. Her cheeks pink and her eyes twinkling. Emily couldn't remember the last time she had enjoyed an afternoon half so much as she had this one. Walking with the men into the shop she felt like a fairy princess being escorted about by her night in shinning armoure and his trusty side kick, And she told the men so. They where greeted by a lovely older woman with blond hair piled high on her head and wearing a lovely lavender day gown. Emily hadn't seen such lovely gowns and fabrics since her father had died and she and her sister had moved in with their aunt and uncle. Looking to Charles as if silently asking for permission to look around she hesitantly released his hand to step to a table with yards and yards and yards of fabric. She gently ran her finger tips over the fabrics from simple cottons with pretty designs to the most lovely of satins and silks. Charles it is all so very lovely. How will we ever choose from them all? turning she looks up at him as she once again begins to worry at her lower lip. She smiles at him and her deep dimples appear once more. She knew that she had truly been very lucky today. Things could have turned out so much worse for her. But she had this wonderful man that wanted her and thought she was beautiful and she would be a wife after all. Not to mention how kind he is or how easy it was to be at ease with him. Already she had grown accustomed to his touch and missed having his arm around her. The older lady fluttered about suggesting differant patterns that would look just lovely on Emily. She continued to look to Charles as she picked out several patterns and designs and differant cloths for several gowns before she was ushered to the back of the store to try on several pre-made gowns. She chose several day gowns and three evening gowns before she was able to escape the woman and make her way back to Charles. Going to him she placed her hand in his and leaned her head against his arm It's so much more exciting to buy clothes than i remembered it being She whispers to him as if admitting to a horrible sin. Feeling silly looks away from him towards the woman that was comming towards them with a mountaiin of dress boxes. My word i didn't realise how much i had gotten!! She was shocked and a little emberassed as she looked at all the boxes. The woman set the boxes on the counter and laughed loudly. child it's our duty as wemon to let our men spoil us with pretty gowns and trinkets. I know wemon who would have ordered three times what you did. with that she winked dramaticly at Emily and gave Charles the bill. Emily thought that perhaps she should offer to help carry the boxes out of the shop but it seemed that Duncan was already ontop of things. Her empty tummy chose that momment to complain rather loudly about its lack of sustanace. Emily's lips form a small O as he cheeks turn bright red. Covering her belly with her left hand she raises her right to cover her mouth as she begins to laugh. i'm very sorry. she says between giggles. I am affraid that i was unable to eat the cheese and bread they offered me today. With everything that was happening i just couldn't seem to make myself eat anything. She was still giggling as she tried to explain with out revealing to much infront of the owner of the store.
