Expensive

It was my opinion that a girl, especially one like Sarah, didn't need to do anything to look good. She didn't usually wear much make-up and without it still looked beautiful to me. But Callum thought differently it looked like.

First Sarah got herself waxed, her eyebrows to start and then her entire body. I didn't get why she needed it, Sarah shaved regularly, but according to Callum the waxing would open her up more or something like that Sarah told me.

The salon was mostly staffed with Asian woman, but Callum had called ahead and asked the owner to take care of Sarah. A scrawny asian man, he was a bit to comfortable putting his hands on Sarah, but that was apart of their culture I guessed.

He pulled Sarah into a back room for the waxing, leaving waiting at the front. I could hear her faint grunts and moans as the man laid into her with his waxing strips. I tried to make small talk with some of the workers, asking why it was called a Brazilian waxing if they were of Asian decent, but all I got in return was a smile. It didn't look like they could understand me so I just waited the rest of the time in silence.

When they finally finished up I paid and we left. In a hurry to make the next appointment Callum had set up for her. She'd been texting him constantly as we walked around town, coordinating what she needed to have done next. It felt like the guy was budding into our relationship even when he wasn't here, but Sarah did seem to be enjoying doing herself up like this.

Our next stop was a hairdresser, styling and trimming her hair. Then a pedicure and her nails got done up, again all paid for by me. At this rate I'd be asking the parents for a loan to cover rent, but it was all worth it so see Sarah's smile and giddiness as the day went on.

"I've never felt this sexy before." Sarah told me as we headed to a place for her make-up to get done. "It feels like every guy passing by wants to fuck me! And I'm not even showing off much skin."

She was brimming with a confidence and energy I'd always wanted to bring out in her. I wish she didn't need all these cosmetics to bring it out of her, but maybe Callum was onto something.

"I wasn't sure about this whole, 'doing things Callum's way' experiment." I admitted. "But it really seems to be working for you!"

I held her hand and pulled her in close to me. Embracing her in my arms, I moved in close for a kiss. Before I could get in close though, I head the sound of a passing guy slap her butt.

"Nice ass girl." The balding man old enough to be her father said.

"Thanks!" Sarah called out to him as he turned the corner, clearly not understanding the situation.

"Sarah, you can't just thank a guy for doing something like that." I said, a little flabbergasted.

Sarah took my words in for a second, then took off after him.

"He guy! She called out. "Wait up!"

She really had a new level of confidence, I'd never seen her confront someone like this before!

"You think my ass is nice?" She said to him.

"Uhhh, yeah?" The guy stammered out, confused.

"What about my tits then?" She said with an aggressive twinge to her voice and she push her chest up.

"Sure, love me some big fat tits."

"Go on, give them a quick squeeze before you decide." Wait what?

"Wait what?" I said, confused.

"This guy was nice enough to complement me." She said, looking st me as the guy aggressively groped her. "He should be rewarded for that."

"Get the hell off her man!" I shouted at the guy, fuming at the situation.

"Hey don't look at me man." He said, smiling as he backed off and something about that damn smile reminded me of Callum. I moved towards the guy, not knowing what I was going to do before Sarah pulled me back.

"Liam! What was that!" She said, like I was the one acting irrationally.

"That guy was just assaulting you in public!"

"Because I told him to!"

"Why!"

We weren't shouting but this was the closest we'd ever been to. Even out here on a busy street, the air seemed to be still with the tension.

"It's just..." Sarah started, her gaze dropping to the ground. "I like feeling wanted."

"Don't I-"

"Of course you do, but your just one guy Liam." She was looking back at me, her confidence returning. "For so long I've thought my body was something to be ashamed of, but now it's something guys desire."

"I, I know." I took her hands into mine. "I'm so happy your gaining confidence in yourself, but does it have to be through strangers talking about and touching your body?"

"It's working so far and its not like it means anything." She was looking deep into my eyes now and I could feel the sincerity of her voice. "I know that our first time together won't compare to what some guy like that or Callum can do go me. So you've got nothing to worry about."

"You're right, I know. It's just hard seeing some guy touch you like that when I haven't even really done it before."

"You like seeing me happy right? Guys touching me makes me feel wanted, desired and happy. So you should be happy too."

I don't think I could really follow the logic but it was hard to argue the results. Sarah was more confident and that did make me happy. I'd be uncomfortable for tonight but if it meant a boosted confidence for going forward it might just be worth it.

"Okay." I said, and I could see how happy just that made Sarah.

"So you won't mind guys complementing me or touching me?" She said with a big smile on her face.

"I, I guess not if it's just a quick-"

"Perfect!" She exclaimed, pulling me by the hand down the street. "Let's get my make-up done and get going!"

It was getting well and truly dark by now and I was starving. I wasn't looking forwards to the bill at all, but I was excited to eat!

"Alright, let's go." I said, keeping up with Sarah's pace. "But where are we eating anyways?"

"You'll see." Sarah said, that big grin still on her face.

"Callum's knows the hottest place"
