It was hard planning Christmas for a man who had everything or who created it if he didn’t have it. Thankfully for Pepper she wasn’t the only one, she knew Rachel had similar issues when shopping for Kevin so she’d arranged to meet her friend after work and they were going to put their heads together and see what they could come up with. While chatting over coffee too.
Entering the wonderful shoe shop where Rachel worked she gave her friend a wave when she spotted her.
Rachel had a couple of things to take care of, but she wasn’t actually working today. They had the rest of the day to have lunch, shop, coffee, whatever they wanted to do. Rachel had a list of people she wanted to brainstorm and shop for, but yes, she was faced with a similar problem. What to get for Kevin?
Was she allowed to just get some really, really sexy lingerie?
“Hey, Pepper!” Rach called out from where she was by the boots. “I’m just about finished.” Oh, taking stock. Oh, paperwork.
Now that was an idea. Tony would definitely consider it a gift if she got something really naughty to wear for him.
“Hey” she called back, “No rush, I can enjoy being surrounded by beautiful shoes for a while” she grinned.
Rachel beamed. “Who knew we were so alike.” She teased, grinning, then finished up the last bit of inventory that she was working on, and then popped into the back to put her paperwork away. It only took two minutes, then she was back by Pepper’s side.
“You have to see these,” Rach added, looping her arm through Pepper’s. “Lavender, suede boots. Right here.” She tugged Pepper over to an amazing pair of boots--ankle high, gorgeous cut, beautiful, pointy toe--and showed them off. “I saw them and thought of you.”
Pepper laughed, “We’re both highly intelligent women with impeccable taste, it was inevitable” she said amused smiling as Rachel finished up and joined her.
Following she took one shoe in her hand, “Oh they are beautiful. I need them in my life”
“I’ll give you my discount. Shh, don’t tell anyone.” Rach said, beaming. “Here, size eight, right?” She added, and dug around until she found the right size. “Do you want to try them on??”
“You are such a bad influence” Pepper said though she didn’t sound too upset about it as she nodded, sitting, “Just quickly, I’m sure they’ll be perfect” she said removing her current shoes.
“Here,” Rachel said, holding out the box. “It’s going to be incredibly easy Christmas shopping for all of my girl friends this year. Just shoes shoes and more shoes!” Rachel beamed. She would likely sew outfits for all of them, too.
Pepper took the shoes and slipped one on, “I think that’s a very cunning plan, one I approve of wholeheartedly” she said before standing in the shoes, “Oh these are so comfortable” she exclaimed with a bright smile.
Rachel grinned brightly. “They’re perfect for you, Pep.” She said, nearly dancing in her excitement. Rachel loved helping her friends with fashion! It was like having a giant doll to dress. “Try on the other one!”
Pepper reached down and slipped the other one onto her foot and turned around in them, taking a few steps. “Oh Rach, they’re wonderful” she said, “They really are perfect”
Rachel laughed triumphantly. “I know, right? They’re wonderful! That’s perfect.” Rach seemed to have a knack for finding the perfect clothes and shoes for the perfect person. “Let’s wrap them up, pay for them, and then we can start some real shopping.”
"Okay good plan. Can't let ourselves get too distracted" Pepper agreed and she soon had the shoes wrapped and in a bag. "Right, something tells me our guys aren't going to be as easy as that was"
“No.” Pepper was right. Rachel nodded. “I’m leaning toward this lingerie idea. That seems like the only thing we can give them that they can’t really get for themselves.” Beat. “They better not be getting that for themselves.” The two women started out of the shoe store together.
Pepper nodded, “I was thinking the same thing” she agreed, “Nothing else I can think of beats that idea” she admitted before laughing, “I’d like to think they know better than to do that”
“They’re smart boys.” Rachel said, grinning. Smirking. Devilishly. She trusted Kevin whole-heartedly. Besides, she would tear the hair out of any girl who came close to her man. Rach may not have been that buff, but she had sharp fingernails. “All right, so… do you know a good place to go get something like that?”
“They are indeed” Pepper agreed, she knew exactly how she’d deal with anybody who dared get a little too close to Tony for her liking but she too, amazingly, trusted him. “Actually I may have looked up a few higher class places for what we need”
“Perfect.” Rachel was looking forward to getting some really sexy things to wear for Kevin. That would make her day. And his, likely. Though, waiting until Christmas might be hard. “...hmm. I’ll have to get something for now, and something for then.” She responded, grinning.
Pepper smiled, “I know, waiting til Christmas is going to be a killer right?” she said with a knowing smile, “But it’ll be worth it for the looks on their faces”
“Yes!” Rachel laughed. “Or we could do the Advent Calendar thing and buy a different outfit for every day leading up to Christmas.” She grinned playfully. “Oh, Kev’s gonna love it, I know. He’s so easy to please.”
“Oh that is a stroke of genius Rachel” Pepper smiled, “I think that is a great idea. One that would be very appreciated by our other halves. Tony is pretty similar”
“It’s possible that it’s like, a true love thing.” Rachel suggested. She was absolutely convinced that her relationship with Kevin was true love. She’d woken him with her True Love’s Kiss, after all. (Out of all the weird things that happened in Orange County, that was one of the weirdest.)
“Or possibly just a horny boy thing,” Rachel added, playfully.
“Maybe it’s a bit of both” Pepper replied with a laugh, “True love that leads to horny boys”
Rachel laughed. “I think that’s the truth. You’ve got it figured out.” She beamed. “Let’s go get some things that will lead to even more horny boys.”
