This was when the full impact of my stupidity hit me. I felt like a cock trying to cross a road as I excused myself past several girls with funny smirks and old women with cold stares. I felt numb and I wished the ground would just open up and suck me in.
The walk to the counter must have been the longest walk in my life. I plotted on ways to get out of here as quietly as I could, but I could feel the eyes of all the ladies bore into me already. I was petrified and sweating profusely as I approached a salesgirl and muttered something that I couldn’t understand myself. She said something.
All I could hear was a painfully slow rendition of a Britney Spears song in the background. Was I blacking out? I didn’t know. My throat ran dry, I felt like I was going to die! Why did I have to try something so outrageously stupid! I thought talking to a girl for the first time was hard, but buying lingerie? It felt like madness!
