Smooth sailing

“Looks like the coast is clear” Rebecca said, keeping her head out of the curtain and relaying the message.

“Okay, let's try and slip out” you responded, getting her to turn and face you with a nod from her in agreement.

Rebecca was the first to leave and you casually followed behind her, trying your best to blend in. Once you were safely back into the store proper, you made sure that the other subjects were truly gone and scanned the rest of the store. There wasn't anyone you remotely recognised so it looked like your shopping trip was wrapped up without incident. Rebecca was still holding onto the clothes you had picked out and was trying to find where you had got them from before you stopped her.

“You might as well get them now considering all the effort you went through to actually try them on. I don’t want you to see this as a wasted trip” you suggested. Rebecca looked at the clothes with a mixed expression as you continued.

“I’d pay for them myself if I actually had enough money on me” you joked, knowing full well that you didn't have any money let alone ‘enough’.

“No it’s fine, alright you've twisted my arm but don't expect me to be wearing this anytime soon” she replied, knowing full well you had purposefully picked something out that was borderline acceptable for the teachers dress code. Rebecca went to head over to the registers so to avoid unnecessary comments you waited outside for her to finish checking out.

You took the opportunity to turn your phone back on and check the KDK while you waited. You were going to confirm that all the others were far enough away but you were prompted with a familiar screen.

Although not as powerful as Emma’s level three, you were certainly excited for the possibilities that this powerup would hold. Rebecca was already agreeing with you when you managed to physically touch her so having another passive to agree with your commands was only going to expand your options. The active brought even more to the table as you had been struggling so far to actually breach the subject of BDSM with her in the first place. The safe word was only a small fraction of what you wanted to do with her and if you could convince her to open up a bit more, then maybe she would start the conversation herself.

But first, you still needed to make her trust you enough to even consider revealing anything that important and leaving off your afternoon without at least attempting to do that didn't sit well with you. You waited until Rebecca was walking towards you and out of the store before you got up to meet her halfway. She smiled as you met and showed you the branded bag she had got with her completed purchase but looked confused when you took her hand and pulled her off to the side.

“Look, I just wanted to apologise for everything that happened in there” you said, feeling guilty at what you had put her through.

“No it's fine I know it wasn’t your fault” she replied with a smile that felt like it was ****.

“Even if you say that I still want you to know I’m sorry. I’m pretty sure neither of us expected our day to end up like this but I wanted to at least make sure I hadn't ruined yours by barging in like that so truly, I’m really sorry about that” you finished, lowering your head as if repenting.

“Honestly don’t worry about it. If you're really that caught up on it then I’m sure you can find a way to make it up to me later. Deal?”

“Deal!” you answered happily.

“Hmm, maybe I’ll make you clean out my mother's office. She does always complain that it's too cluttered” she suggested with a smirk on her face.

“I know I’m supposed to be apologising but please, anything but that” you begged, putting your hands together as if in prayer. Rebecca laughed in response before you both seemed to realise your time together was coming to a close. You contemplated asking for her number but you felt that there would be plenty of opportunities once her level 2 came into effect.

You said your goodbyes and watched her leave towards one of the mall’s exits before going to your contacts and ringing Sarah on your phone. The phone had barely been ringing for a few seconds when Sarah instantly picked up.

“Hey Max!” she shouted, making you move the phone away from your ear to avoid bursting your eardrums.

“Jesus, I’ll probably be able to hear you without the phone if you keep screaming like that. Anyway, I’ve finished with what I’m doing so whereabouts are the 3 of you?” you asked, still keeping the phone slightly further away from your ear just in case.

“We're just in line at the moment and we will probably be out in a couple of minutes so… hold on one sec” she replied, cutting herself off mid-sentence.

“Mom said to just meet us where we last split up, we shouldn’t be more than a few minutes anyway”

“Alright will do. Tell Mom I'm on my way there and I’ll see you in a minute.” you responded, getting a quick confirmation from Sarah before ending the call. You knew that ‘A few minutes’ would be more like ten minutes when it came to your family and shopping so you actually managed to take a quick look at some games like you had originally said you would do before walking over to the outside of the phone store. As you had thought, the three of them were still nowhere to be seen and a quick check of the KDK told you that their distance wasn’t getting any closer, presumably because they were still stuck in a queue somewhere. You sat down on the nearest bench and waited for them to arrive and enjoyed a brief moment of alone time that had been getting increasingly rare ever since the KDK came into your life.
