On Saturday I went shopping with my mom since I was going to need a new swimsuit for our swimming lesson on Tuesday. I spent a while looking at different bathing suits and bikinis before I settled on three suits and two bikinis. Normally bikinis weren't allowed during swimming lessons at school, but it had been a while and maybe the rules had changed. I went to the changing rooms to try them on while my mom looked at some clothes for herself.
I started with a simple black bathing suit that my mom chose for me. It was a one-piece that covered as much skin as possible. My mom never liked it when I wore revealing clothes so I completely expected her to choose one like that. Honestly, it looked fine on me, but I wasn't going to leave with something as simple as that.
The second suit I tried was a light shade of blue. It fit, but it wasn't my style.
The last one I tried was a high-leg suit with crossed straps across my chest, leaving a little triangle of bare skin in the middle. When I turned around and looked in the mirror I could see my butt cheeks. The suit didn't cover them at all. Usually, I'm really insecure about my body but at that moment, I felt confident and sexy. I was definitely going to buy that suit.
Next, I tried on the bikinis. The first one was one with vertical black and white stripes. The bottom piece came up to my belly button. It made me a little dizzy but I wasn't going to stand in front of a mirror all the time so that didn't matter.
The last bikini was a sparkly pink set. The top piece was strapless and closed with a cute little bowtie on my back. It had padding which made my boobs look bigger and I really liked the soft fabric. The bottom part didn't cover much. It showed even more skin than the bathing suit. I changed back into my clothes and waited for my mom. She came out of one of the stalls with some blouses and I told her that I wanted two bathing suits and two bikinis. I only took the first bathing suit to keep my mom happy. We walked over to the cashier and paid for our clothes.
The next week started with a boring Monday, luckily it passed quickly. I got home, did my homework, and had dinner. I checked on my new bathroom and saw that the workmen had installed the new shower cabin. I had seen the pictures of the end result and could already imagine how much better it would be. The old bathroom I had was still the one my grandparents had installed when they lived in the house. It was a great bathroom but the old tiling on the walls looked like they were made during the stone ages.
They had also finished some work in my bedroom. My walls were ready to get their first coat of paint and the flooring looked as good as finished. I went to Luna's room and filled my sports bag for the next day. After a bit of thinking and trying them on again, I chose to bring the cross-strapped bathing suit and pink bikini. I put them in my bag with a hairbrush, a towel, and some perfume and went to sleep.
When I woke up, I put on my leggings and a T-shirt and headed downstairs for breakfast. My dad was already sitting at the kitchen table reading his newspaper while sipping his hot coffee.
"Hey, Loulou, why are you up so early? I thought you only had school in the afternoon." He said.
I quickly responded and said, "I do, I just wanted to go for a run before my swimming lessons."
"Oh alright, don't forget a towel. I put some clean ones in the bathroom closet yesterday." He said.
"I already filled my sports bag last night," I answered.
"Okay." He said while finishing his last bit of coffee. "I have to leave for work now. Have fun today."
He kissed me on my forehead, took his jacket, and went to the garage. After I heard the car leave, I finished my breakfast and went for a short run.
When I got home, I freshened up, took my sports bag, and left for school. I met up with Audrey and talked for a few minutes until the bell rang. We looked around and when we saw some of our classmates, we followed them to the bus. When we entered the bus, Mr. Peeters was already waiting for us and did a headcount.
