Fic-tac-toe # 7
Costume
Arthur’s eyes widened in amazement as he and Gwen stepped through the doors of the party shop. He’d never seen so many Halloween-y things in one place before. And one entire wall of the store was given over to costumes. However would he pick the right one?
Gwen grabbed his arm and pulled him forward. “We’ll never get started if we don’t look.”
“Did I say that out loud?”
“You sure did.” She grinned and led him to the wall of costumes. “Most of these are for kids. It’s only this section here that’s for adults.” She led him over to the smaller section.
“Oh that’s a relief.”
“I could see your eyes glazing over.”
“Hey.” He surveyed the adult costumes. “So it’s down to these then. Let’s see, I was Batman last year, so maybe Superman?”
“That works for me.” She pointed to a sexy Catwoman costume. “I was thinking of going with this one.”
“Yowza.”
They asked an attendant to get their sizes so they could try them on. Once they did so, Arthur was even more impressed by Gwen’s choice. “That definitely works on you.”
“Thanks. Yours looks good as well.”
“Great, now can we get out of here?”
“What’s the matter? Are you on Halloween overload?”
“Something like that.”
They changed and headed to the front with their costumes. After they paid and walked out, Gwen took his hand. “Thanks for humoring me.”
“Of course. It’s the least I could so for my sexy Catwoman.”
