"Wrap these up," Kaiden ordered the saleslady who assisted us to which she happily complied.

We followed her for payment and Kaiden insisted on paying for them—even if I'm the one who made him wear all those clothes against his will. As we waited for them to finish packing the clothes, I felt nervous not knowing where we're going next.

It was then that I saw another outfit I wanted Kaiden to try. It was hidden amongst all the black suits in one corner. They were all black so it was hard to tell.

"Kaiden," I called him, pulling his sleeves to get his attention. "Can you try one last outfit, please?"

Kaiden was dumbfounded.

"Another one? That's the twelfth one already," he asked, half doubting if I was serious.

I nodded enthusiastically and put my hands together, pleading. Kaiden gave up and sighed. As soon as he agreed, I rushed to get the outfit and gave it to him. He went back to the dressing room, dragging his feet, and changed. I felt sorry looking at him but it's the last one, so hang in there, Kaiden.

Few minutes passed and he still wasn't done. Because of that, I got worried so I knocked on the door of the dressing room to check on him.

"Kaiden, are you alright?"

"… No. I'm stuck."

"Pft! You should have told me. Let me help you."

Kaiden opened the door and I went inside not realizing the craziness of what I just did. As soon as I got in, I saw Kaiden, still in his casual clothes. He only removed his coat, but his shirt was still buttoned. The outfit I gave him, neatly folded on a chair.

"What's wrong? I thought you were stuck."

"I am. My laziness is to the brim. I can't move my arms anymore."

Blinking a few times, I burst out in laughter afterwards. Oh my goodness. It seemed that I already reached the peak of Kaiden's capacity for the day.

"Why are you laughing? It's your fault."

"Yes, it is. I'm really sorry."

"If you still want to see me in that outfit, you have to help me change."

"Yes, yes. I'll help."

Kaiden smirked. "Start with unbuttoning this shirt. Then take it off of me."

I followed what he said… but when I reached out to the button of his shirt, it finally hit me… I shouldn't be doing that. My hands suddenly trembled, and my face felt hot.

'T-this… I-I'm basically taking Kaiden's clothes off, right? S-so I'll see his… his naked body AGAIN. OMG OMG OMG. Will I survive this? Will I die? I'll be lucky if I only end up with a nosebleed.'

"What's wrong?" Kaiden asked in a teasing manner.

"Youuu…" I narrowed my eyes and stared at him. "You're taking revenge on me, aren't you?"

"Am I?" he tilted his head and asked, as if he's the most innocent person in the world.

'Tsk. This guy… But I won't be fooled by that smile. If there's one thing I learned about Kaiden, it's that he takes his revenge… no matter what. And what he's making me do is his form of revenge on me. He knows I can barely stand looking at his naked body because of that incident in his bedroom! How very observant. A tough opponent indeed.'

"You definitely are," I glared at him. "You think I'll back down? Hmf!"

And so, I gulped hard and mustered all my courage—from this lifetime and my last, and in case I still had some more. Then, I slowly unbuttoned his shirt. From his neck, to his chest, and abs of course. I felt the back of my fingers brush across his body with only the thin cloth of the shirt as the wall between my skin and his'. That thought alone made me nervous. But I must press on. I'm not backing down on this challenge. WRAAA!!!

Once I'm done unbuttoning everything, I breathed deeply before I… took it off of his body.

Badump! Badump! Badump!

'Oh my goodness… that immaculate body… Sena, get a hold of yourself. Remind me again how come this teenager has this sexiness in him when he's still so young? Wooooohhh… Inhale. Exhale. You can do this. Don't think he's hot even if he is. And clear your mind of nasty thoughts. Lust, begone! All impure thoughts, begone!'

"There, I'm done. I took it off," I smugly said when I succeeded on my task. "Easy, peasy."

"Good job. You survived," he complimented me but his smirk was so apparent on his lips. "You'd need to do the same once I'm done with the outfit you chose."

"What? Again?"

"It was easy, right?"

'Ack! My words… right back at me.'

"R-Right."

And so, Kaiden wore the last outfit I gave him which was none other than… a Grim Reaper's costume! Complete with a scythe and a dark cloak! He looked so devilishly handsome, much to my joy, so I took lots of pictures again until I'm satisfied. As I browsed through the pictures after, he kindly reminded me that I needed to take it off of him, and help him dress.

We had the last outfit wrapped up as well, and Kaiden paid again. He never let me pay even when we went out before with Crystal and Hora. Was it a custom here that men should always pay? I somehow felt guilty. It's not like I didn't have money.

Anyway, after that we finally left the shop. We dropped by the car to put in all of the clothes we bought, then went on our way again. Kaiden led the way this time and I just followed beside him. He kept on browsing through shop windows but it seemed nothing much caught his fancy.

He only stopped when he saw this classy French Boutique selling lots of luxurious and gorgeous dresses. They were all so beautiful you could even wear them on a red carpet.

'So this was his plan… an exact revenge of the same kind. I should have known.'

Now, I'm the one looking unamused.
