Shopping. Alone...

You tell Delilah that you really need to finish some of your errands first. She rolls her eyes and steps towards the bathroom. "OK. I'll just stick around the room until you come back then. Stay safe~!!"

With that, Delilah goes into the bathroom. You hear the shower starting shortly after. You suppose she didn't really need to do a whole lot of undressing. You got dressed and headed out. There was a place nearby that provided weapons and then another place that usually had a good selection of medicine. Each of those stores were more than good enough stops for your resupply. Even though you weren't in dire need of anything, it was better to get topped off while you were here.

Along the way, you got side tracked a few times. You kept being pulled away by thinking about what else you could do for Delilah since you felt a lot of guilt cheating on her. Lakeside had a lot to offer, but you found that a lot of businesses came and went. The competition was always high, so new stores and outlines were nothing new to see. There were a lot of new clothing stores, with the old outfits you remembered, just differently priced and made with new materials (have it be better or worse.).

There were a few new guns stores. A lot of them offered reloaded calibers, as well as a few new weapons. Knives and many kinds were always provided, but you were more interested in firearms and what kind of repairs they did. Around here, they treated your rifle like it was some kind of treasure, you guess by some means it actually was. You got new ammo, some soft armor, but didn't get any new bladed instruments. Yours just never saw enough action to be ever replaced or repaired. Which was fine by you, most of the newer stuff was expensive as Hell.

A few stops later, you finally got around going towards the medicine store. It was one of the few places around here that had a good enough monopoly to never be replaced by anything else. Likely, there were still enough stores to make it competitive, so you never felt gouged by prices or that they were under-handing you. While you were heading that direction, however, you were stopped in front of the adult entertainment stores. You were caught by one of the criers.

Usually, like all the other times before, you could get away and decline any kind of offer, but this crier was much more...physical than the others. She grabbed you and pulled you right into a conversation. She didn't ask if you were hungry, thirsty, or horny, but instead asked if you were looking for a way to spice up a current relationship. This made you pause. She beamed at you with a perfect white smile and placed her hands on her generous hips. She had bright blue hair and eyes that matched so well, you knew that had to fake.

"I knew you were too handsome to be single!" She exclaimed. "We got brand new items in stock this week, and there's a sale happening right now to make your sex life much more entertaining!"

Delilah was already lots of fun, but she seemed too innocent to do anything else that involved leather and whips. You asked the crier if she knew of any of the items specifically. Her sky-blue eyes locked onto yours. She knew she managed to hook you into at least walking around the store.

"Sure, I could tell you about it, but wouldn't it be better if I just showed you instead? I'm more than willing to give you a tour of the Pink Heat." She gestured to the sign behind. Sure enough, it was called the Pink heat. A strip club at night and a deprived sex shop in the morning. You checked your watch, you've only been out for about an hour. Delilah might still be in the shower even. You tell her that you'd like to look around. She smiles wider and walks towards the doors. "I promise you, you'll see something you'd like to try out!"
