Because she wanted a bra as a New Year gift…
This is something that my girlfriend and I do every year. We challenge each other with a task we believe would be difficult for the person to complete. Last month, when I asked her what she wants for a New Year gift, she winked and replied, “I want you to gift me the sexiest bra that will make you moan when you see me wearing it!”
How difficult it could be? I just needed to go to a lingerie store and buy a bra of the right size. Easy and simple. Seeing how confident I looked, she added more to the list, “It has to be sexy as well as comfortable. Something I can use to seduce you and wear it to office the next day.”
“Alright!” I replied, adding, “Your wish is my command, dear lady.”
So, began my hunt for the bra of her dream. Was it easy? or was it difficult? I had my answer when I visited the lingerie store.
The funny shop assistant
I chose the lingerie section of one of the biggest malls in our city. As soon as I reached the area, I found women of all age, sizes and shapes frantically going through carefully displayed array of bras. It was really amusing to see how the nagging shop assistants first pleaded, then persuaded and finally threatened the poor ladies about what they needed to buy. I was the odd one out as I stood there like a pillar knowing not what to do. Luckily, a petite young assistant came and asked, “How can I help you, sir?” She was a godsend!
“I need a bra…er…I mean, I need a bra for my girlfriend,” I muttered, cursing my confidence that decided to vanish when I needed it the most.
“Is madam with you?” she asked.
“No!” I whispered. She gave me a weird smile, which could be translated into so many things
We all know the famous ’36-24-36’ description of a girl’s figure. Being a committed guy for five years, I knew that my girl’s bust size is 34. Being in a familiar territory (since I knew her size), my voice and confidence returned as I told the assistant, “Her size is 34. Can you show me some sexy yet comfortable bras?”
“Ok. What’s her cup size?” she asked.
Cups? What cups?
Cup? The only cup I knew was my favourite coffee mug, only if it qualifies to be a cup at all! My girlfriend never told me anything about a cup that I need to purchase along with the bra.
“Does it come with the bra or do I need to purchase it separately,” I asked, thinking this will shut the smart lady for good.
The look she gave me made me call my girlfriend and ask if she needed a cup. After five tormenting and humiliating minutes, finally I had the right size. It’s 34B!
Straps, bands and what not?
Now that I managed to master the art of conquering the right bra size, I was heading towards a new territory. The girl handed a few dozens of bra and excused herself to attend to another customer. My hands were full…with bras!!! I clicked a quick selfie and sent it to my boys’ group in WhatsApp with a message that read, “In Bra heaven’. Let them be jealous.
Now that I had all the bras as girl could ask for, how do I choose the right one? I waited patiently for the helpful assistant to return.
“Which do you think is sexy as a well as comfortable?” I asked as soon as she was at earshot.
“I suppose, you can choose the colour as per your wish. If you want a comfortable one, I would suggest you get one with wide straps that will provide proper support. A wider back will be good too,” she replied like a child who was asked to recite a nursery rhyme.
I was baffled!
Full coverage vs. no coverage!
Seeing that I was in no man’s land, the shop assistant gave me a sympathetic look and told me she will shortlist a few bras if I can just tell her if my girlfriend was looking for full coverage or less coverage.
Who wants coverage, shouted my mind. “Of course, coverage is good!” I replied before she could read my mind.
Finally, I had three bras that looked comfortable and good enough to lift my mood. Happily I grabbed all the five and told the helpful lady to gift wrap those. “Do you also want matching panties?”
Now, that’s a territory I wouldn’t mind treading on. “Why not!” I wrapped up my adventure as she gift wrapped the sexy somethings my girlfriend wanted.
After four harrowing hours, I came to this conclusion: Buying a bra is definitely rocket science!
