This is it, darling, Helena cried. This is you! It will fit you beautifully, she continued, and the plunging neckline will drive me crazy, she whispered into Tinas ear, then followed the line of her ear with the tip of her tongue.

Tina tried on the dress and had to admit that she looked fabulous in it. The daring line did not hide, but rather accentuated her pregnancy while hugging her hips and showing off her toned legs through an extremely high slit in the side. And the plunging neckline was the perfect backdrop for her exquisite cleavage. Tina smiled at her image. Helena slid her arms under Tinas from behind and cupped her ***** in her hands. I warned you, she said, absolutely barking mad am I!

Tina looked for the price tag on the dress, but couldnt locate one. How much is it? she asked Helena.

Not to worry, my treat luv, she said, while helping Tina slide the dress off her back and down her legs.

No Helena, please. I cant accept that, said Tina as she pulled her loose t-shirt back over her head.

Nonsense, give it to me, Helena reached out for the dress.

Helena, no, said Tina firmly, becoming more aggravated with each passing moment.

I insist, Helena said and grabbed the dress and headed for the saleswoman. Please wrap this up for me, she said with a smile.

Wait a minute, Tina cried, still adjusting her shirt and tripping over her bag. Wait. How much is the dress? she asked the woman.

Thirty-two, replied the saleswoman looking at Tina condescendingly.

Excuse me? asked Tina.

Thirty-two hundred, she said while reaching out for Helenas Platinum American Express.

Absolutely not going to happen! Tina said slowly and forcefully. Please hang the dress back up, she directed the saleswoman.

Tina, I want to do this, said Helena.

And I, in no uncertain terms, do not want you to do this, Tina replied and walked out of the boutique.

Shane, you are so going to ***** for that! exclaimed Alice.

Well you know what Kierkegaard said, said Shane, If, after the Final Judgment there remains only one sinner in ***** and I happen to be that sinner, I will celebrate.
