The next morning, Rayne woke up and made a vegetable omelette for breakfast. She was full of energy and ready to tackle the mall, hoping to fill her system with all sorts of clothing and shoes.
When she finally arrived at the mall, she went straight toward the largest department store. It was four levels tall and had everything from baby clothes to power tools. It was the perfect place for Rayne to stock up on a large variety of items.
Her main focus today was clothing and shoes, but she wouldn’t pass up other useful items on the way. freewebnoveℓ.com
Riding the escalator up to the fourth floor, Rayne decided to start from the top and make her way down.
This floor of the store contained infant and children’s clothing, along with other baby items (diapers, changing stations, formula, bottles, etc.). Although Rayne had no use for these items, she wasn’t sure what would happen in the future or if she might meet someone who might need them.
She walked around, storing all sorts of baby clothing and accessories, admiring their cuteness along the way.
Across from the baby section was the women’s intimates (underwear, lingerie, bras) where Krissy was currently shopping.
"Ugh, why are all of these styles for lingerie so boring? Dillon won’t like these," Krissy said, feeling frustrated.
Dillon had recently been more and more generous with his money, giving Krissy ample funds to go shopping with. She was in desperate need of more sexy lingerie so that she could keep Dillon’s attention.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a beautiful woman who reminded her of the one Dillon had been with that time at the bar. She craned her neck to see if she could get a clear look at the woman, but the woman was wearing a baseball cap and was turned slightly away.
Krissy felt angry, being reminded of that vixen. But she assumed that this woman was not her, as she was intently going through the baby aisles.

Rayne was oblivious to the fact that Krissy had somewhat noticed her and was busy storing as many baby, toddler, and children’s items as she could. Thankfully, this department was emptier than the others, allowing her to work quickly.
By the time Rayne made her way toward the other side of the store, the women’s intimates section, Krissy had already left.
She began to once again store everything in her view: bras, panties, socks, nightgowns, even lingerie. She didn’t just store items of her size, but of all sizes and colors.
Once she finished storing everything on the fourth floor, she took the escalator down to the third floor, where the men’s clothing and shoes were.
It was her first time in a men’s department since buying her father a tie for his birthday years ago, and she felt a little lost on where to start.
She walked to the section where the men’s shoes were and began to store them in all sizes and styles: sneakers, boots, dress shoes, sandals, flip-flops, hiking boots, work boots, etc.
She then made her way into the casual clothing section, storing things like shirts, t-shirts, sweaters, sweatpants, shorts, jeans, athletic clothing, etc.
There was a large selection of items, so Rayne ended up spending a lot more time on this floor than she had on the fourth floor.
She continued on to the dress clothing section, where the professional suits, ties, and jackets were, storing every style, color, and size.
