First real day in London

I woke up fairly tired the next day, my body feeling sore from all the sex we had during the night. Dahlia and I were hugging each other, we quickly fell asleep once we became unable to keep going. She appeared to be still be asleep, her head close to my chest, her face so adorably cute.

I gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead and whispered in her ear. "Dahl~ It's time to wake up~"

She groaned softly. "Five more minutes... Too tired..."

"Be a good girl for your queen and get up~" I replied, gently tickling her belly. "Or I'll have to punish you~"

It had the effect I hoped, making her giggle. "S-stop!"

"I'll stop if you get up~"

"Okay! You win!" She said, rising up and giving me a quick kiss on the lips. She looked at her phone and pouted cutely. "Really? It's not even nine, couldn't we sleep a bit more?"

"It's our first proper day here, I want to enjoy it fully." I said, smiling at her. "And I want you to enjoy it as well~"

She relented and got up, stretching. "Fine, fine."

Before anything else, we went to take a bath together in the bathtub, enjoying the warm water and washing each other's bodies. We needed it after everything we did last night.

"Ah, how I love the sight of your body, Yun~" Dahlia said as she was washing my legs, making me feel aroused.

"I know, my body is perfect~ But yours isn't so bad either~" I replied, pinching her nipples in response.

She let out a cute moan but then grinned, doing the same to me. I pulled her closer for a kiss and caressed her ass.

"It'd be so tempting to have another go at it right now, but I think I need some time to recover from last night."

"Me too. We might have went a bit too far, hmm~?" She said, giggling.

I kissed her lovingly. "Maybe, but I don't regret it~"

After finishing the bath and getting dressed, we decided that our first step this morning would be to buy proper suitcases to store our stuff, and also some clothes for us to wear, since we only brought two pairs of outfits with us. Those were our goals for today.

We ate the breakfast the hotel brought us, a fairly standard but filling one, and went outside. Camden was our first stop, since it wasn't too far and Dahlia knew I wanted to visit it. I would be able to find some punk and goth clothes there from what she said, so I was looking forward to it.

As we walked, we both took the time to observe the city more. Dahlia sometimes commented on how some of the stores we passed in front of had changed, and was also surprised to see a few that stayed the same. She was feeling this weird mix of melancholy and excitement.

We reached Camden Town a bit later, the place filled with people wandering around. There were a lot of coloured and nicely-decorated buildings that I found quite pretty. A shop in particular quickly caught my attention, a gothic shop, displaying corsets, dresses, coats, and various other pieces of clothing.

Dahlia noticed what I was staring at and giggled. "Didn't take long. Wanna check inside?"

"Yeah. Maybe we could find something for you too? I know you'd be stunning with a goth look~" I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"I probably would, but I prefer simpler, cuter looks." Dahlia replied, giving me a fake cutesy smile. "I'll let you be the hottest, I prefer to be the cutest~"

"Fair enough, my cute girlfriend~"

We walked inside and were greeted by the vendor, a woman who seemed to be in her thirties or early forties but was still absolutely rocking the goth look, with a long black dress and a dark purple corset, pale makeup with black lipstick and eyeshadows, and lace gloves. I found her extremely attractive despite the visible age gap.

"Good morning, ladies. Is there anything I can do for you?" She asked in a friendly tone.

"Oh, no need, thank you, I'm just looking around." I replied, smiling at her.

We went a bit deeper inside the store, observing the clothes displayed. So many of them were tempting, but I knew I had to be reasonable and don't buy too much. I was fairly rich, yes, but I still wanted to be careful with my money.

Dahlia leaned closer and whispered in my ear, grinning. "I saw how you looked at her, aren't I enough for you anymore~?"

"Am I no longer allowed to appreciate the beauty of other women?"

"Hmm, do you have a thing for older women, perhaps~?" She replied, caressing my arm with her finger.

I chuckled and kissed her. "Considering that I'm apparently dating a forty-three-year-old woman, probably~"

"Almost forty-three," Dahlia said, pouting. "Don't make me older than I am. I still have a hard time processing it myself. I'll be forty-three in June."

"Heh, doesn't mean too much in the grand scheme of things, since you're twenty currently."

"Indeed."

I grabbed a few corsets, dresses, and a pair of platform mary janes that caught my eyes and went to try them, happy to find that they all fit me perfectly. I looked absolutely gorgeous in those, even without my goth makeup. And the quality was definitely there, it wasn't some cheap brand.

"What do you think~?" I asked Dahlia in a seductive tone.

"Hmm, you're... bewitching~" She replied with a grin.

I striked a sexy pose. "Be careful or I might put a spell on you~"

She came closer and kissed me, giving me a warm, loving smile. "You already have, oh wonderful witch~ You stole my heart, I'm all yours~"

Satisfied with Dahlia's reaction, I quickly changed back, grabbed two pairs of sensual lace underwear and a pair of fishnet pantyhose, and immediately went to buy the clothes, the hot vendor smiling at me happily as she handed me the bags.

We left the store and continued to wander, quickly finding ourselves in front of another clothing store, one that seemed to suit Dahlia's tastes better, as it had very girly clothes on display, with a lot of pink, pastels, and rainbows. She stopped in front of it, as if lost in thought.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"No. I'm just... nicely surprised to see that this store is still here." She looked down, appearing a bit more shy. "I... often wanted to enter it, in the past. Never found the courage to..."

I wrapped my arm around her neck and gently pulled her closer, giving her a warm, encouraging smile. "Well, you can now. Let's find you some cute stuff, hmm~?"

She smiled shyly. "Thanks."

We walked inside, the vendor greeting us with a smile. She was a young and cute girl, with pins with the queer and trans flags pinned on her jacket, and wearing an outfit that looked like Jirai Kei, a fashion style which was becoming more popular recently. It was something the old me would never have been interested in, but I thought it could be fun to try one day. I knew I could wear anything and be stunning no matter what.

Dahlia started to look around. She was still a bit shy, but was clearly excited being here. She was so adorable as she explored the different sections and looked at all the clothes. She was like a kid in a candy store, amazed by everything on display. She picked some cute skirts, shirts, blouses, thigh highs, and rushed to the fitting room to try them, with me closely following her.

She mainly chose pink and white clothes, it was her favourite colours. She looked beautiful in all of those, always acting bashful whenever she showed me what she tried. I remembered how confident she seemed when we met, but now, she was almost like a different person. She was still flirtatious, but allowed herself to appear shy and insecure at times, now that we were together. And she was so damn cute when she was being shy, I had to admit.

Dahlia went on a shopping spree, buying even more clothes than I did earlier, but she was radiating so much happiness that I didn't say anything and simply smiled. We lost track of time there, and stayed until it was already past noon. We left the store with a few more bags, and were now looking for a place to eat.

"You enjoyed yourself?" I asked as we walked.

"I did. It was even more fun than I imagined. I wish I could have went there before, but at least I was able to, today."

Dahlia brought me to a fish & chips place not too far, so we could rest and eat lunch.

"What's special about some French fries with fish?"

She shrugged. "Beats me, I lived here more than half of my life and I never understood why it was so iconic. But well, it'd be a shame to pass on it while you're here, don't you think?"

I chuckled. "Fair. Let's try the UK's most iconic food, then."

We ordered and started to eat. It was pretty good, but it was fries and fish, it was hard to make something like this bad. They were Belgian fries, so it was, in my opinion, better than the ones often found in cheap takeaways.

"Say, do you think we could... visit a specific place, this afternoon?" Dahlia asked as we were eating.

"Sure, where?"

She seemed more insecure again, so I assumed that it was tied to her past, to what she came here for.

"A smaller town, a bit away from the city." She sighed, and I could see her shivering slightly. "I believe the earlier I... confront it, the better it'll be... This way, we'll be free to enjoy our vacation afterwards."

I smiled. "If that's your wish, alright. Let's go back to the hotel to drop our stuff and then we can call a cab to get there."

She leaned closer and kissed me. "Thank you, Yun."
