Several weeks before Alex left, he took a trip into town by himself. He was looking for good jewelry places and clothing places as gifts for his girls. The more time he spent with Alicia and Kaya especially, he noticed the more girly girl they got.
They started dressing up more in front of him, wearing more makeup and dressing in tight-fitting dresses with sexy lingerie underneath. While he had no problems with these changes, since the vision of two hot girls clinging to him constantly was a wonderful place to be, it meant that they also wanted to go shopping more.
It was also almost his 2nd month anniversary with Alicia and 1st month anniversary with Kaya. The two of them had it right around the same day, and since there wasn't such thing as a calendar in this frontier town at least, they had to figure out the exact days themselves.
This made it many times easier for Alex, who was able to convince the girls that their anniversaries were back to back, meaning one day was Alicia's and the next was Kaya's. If he was back on earth, they probably would have broken up with him for forgetting such an important day.
He never understood why girls especially seemed to put a lot of importance on monthly anniversaries, he just thought it was a bit over the top. Of course, if he wanted to keep his balls safe, he wouldn't speak any of this out loud.
As he was lost in his thoughts, he eventually found himself in front of the boutique where Sarah works at. Over the last several months of coming here at least once a week with his girls, he started getting used to Sarah more.
She slowly became less hostile to him, which was nice, so he started slowly becoming nicer to her as well. Treat others how you wish to be treated as earthlings would say.
The bell connected to the door dinged, alerting the redhead to the door.
"Welcome to- Oh it's you." Sarah was at first smiling professionally until she saw who it was and gave him a disappointed look.
"Nice to see you too Sarah." Alex gave a small, half-hearted smile.
"So why are you bothering me? Did you come to ask for help getting Alicia or Kaya back? Cuz I won't help." She smirked, happy that this day was finally coming.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but I'm here alone to pick out some anniversary stuff for them. Since I've been, you know, their boyfriend for a few months now." Alex smirked back.
Sarah's eyebrow twitched.
"Why should I help you?" She snorted at him and turned around to go to the register and continue working.
Alex followed as he continued to explain.
"While I think I am a pretty good boyfriend if I do say so myself, I'm not the best when it comes to picking out clothes, as you can see." Alex gestured to himself, where he was still wearing plain leather pants and beige long sleeves.
It wasn't eye-catching at all and only served to keep him clothed and warm. He wasn't much for fashion, and he had even had Alicia and Kaya, as well as a few other girls he knew, help design his new armor/clothing items otherwise they might have ended up beige as well.
His clothes made him look like a farm boy and Sarah couldn't help but scowl.
"I can see your point," She looked disapprovingly at his clothes, "What's in it for me though?"
While the designer in her wanted to fix up this problem right away, she knew when to hold back.
"I don't know. What do you want? Money? Clothes? I've got some pretty good stuff from killing those bandits."
The stories of his exploit as a hero who saved a bunch of slaves and a few aristocrats had long spread through the town. Although the stories that the townsfolk got probably weren't accurate, a general idea of what happened was given.
Alex took out a pretty pink dress with lots of frills he thought might fit her. Sarah only looked at it for a second before sighing and ignoring it.
"I do have something I want, but I know it's impossible for you or myself to get it."
She had a bit of melancholy in her voice and Alex had an inkling about what she wanted.
"You want Alicia, don't you?" He addressed the elephant in the room, rather abruptly and made her have a coughing fit.
Her face turned red from embarrassment and lack of oxygen as she glared at Alex who was chuckling.
"Shut it asshole! You stole her from me! Ruining all the months of hard work I did just to be friends with her. Now I hardly ever see her here by herself!"
"I stole no one from nobody," Alex glared back, "Alicia is her own person and we just happened to click. I did nothing to influence her like you think I might have so it's your own fault for not being honest and playing it too safe. Plus, she's not into women so you are already fighting an uphill battle.
"As for her not coming by herself anymore, I'm sure if you just asked, she would be fine spending the day with you, outside of your work too. She's a sweet girl and she does care for you."
There was an awkward silence for a bit as Sarah thought about his words. She knew he was right, but she hated being wrong. He was like her nemesis so it only made her angrier.
"Then I won't help you." Sarah glared back.
Alex shrugged and turned to leave, "Fine, I'll just take my business to another place. I'm sure the workers there would be happy to help me."
He hoped his words would get to her, but it wasn't those words that affected her.
"Do you really think she would be okay having the day out with just me?" Sarah mostly spoke aloud, not expecting a real answer.
She looked down at the register fiddling with some coins feeling down. She didn't notice that Alex paused to look back at her. While he wasn't fond of Sarah, she wasn't a bad person. She was just easily annoyed and he was a quickly lighter for that angry fire of hers.
He waited a bit to see if she would say something else and to think himself.
"I'm sure she would. She's not as shallow as you think she is."
Sarah jumped a bit, surprised he was still there. She blushed a bit again, knowing he heard the embarrassing thoughts she thought she kept in her head.
"I don't think she's shallow! B-But wouldn't something like that be off-putting for her? Wouldn't it be like a d-date?"
She tried to keep a serious face on and avoid his gaze despite her burning cheeks. Alex also got a bit serious since this was something he was also unsure about.
He loved Alicia and Kaya. They were amazing girls in his mind and he wanted them all to himself. However, he also wasn't a jerk that would hold them back. He knew he would leave this town eventually and it was unknown when he could come back.
He didn't want to keep his girls waiting for him, only to disappoint them in the end. They had lives of their own and he had spoken to them both, Alicia mostly about being more than just boyfriend and girlfriend.
He felt it was a bit early to be talking about that stuff, but he knew it was important to the girls. They would eventually want to settle down and have children, they already made that clear. Alex also wanted the same, but he needed time to get his fill of this world before doing that stuff.
"Calling it a date is a stretch," He commented, "but having a girl's night out, no. She would be happy to have something like that. Also, if it makes you feel any better, I'll eventually leave Floren and I've told Alicia and Kaya if they ever find someone they want to spend their time with, then it was fine.
"I'm not going to hold back their lives when I don't even know what I'm going to do with mine. Also, Kaya's bi if that makes you feel any more confident. She and Alicia have done it together without me as well, I don't mind.
"I don't think I'd mind you doing it with them either. I think you are a good enough person not to hurt them."
Sarah blinked a few times, shocked at what she heard. Was this for real? Was this guy really allowing her to sleep with his girlfriends? While to her it sounded like a cuck scenario, to Alex, it was just being open with sex.
He liked to consider that he was in a more open relationship with Alicia and Kaya. He loved them and they loved him, but neither party would keep the other from fucking others. While the girls were fine with him doing other girls, he was less enthusiastic about them getting with another man.
Luckily both girls were adamant about how his dick was the only one that could satisfy them now. There was one-time several months ago when he first met Kaya, after they fucked once, she went and got it on with another guy.
She never felt so bored in her life as his tiny dick barely touched her walls. She didn't even feel close to cumming, even after the unlucky/lucky guy unloaded a small amount of cum on her back. She then quickly left, calling him some words that hurt his pride as a man, and went to seek out the hunk that stretched her walls to the max.
It was at that time that Kaya started realizing some feelings for Alex but hadn't acknowledged them yet.
As for Alicia, she didn't bother. Alex was the only man she wanted to ever be with and she was fine with that.
"W-While I wouldn't mind being physically intimate with Alicia, I-I'm mostly looking for a romantic relationship. That's why I'm sure you can't help."
Sarah was letting her walls down surprisingly. He wasn't sure why she was so open but he wasn't going to be rude now that she was vulnerable and nice to him for once.
"You're right, I can't really help with that. If there's anything else you need help with, you know where to find me. So will you help me find clothes?"
Sarah looked at him to see if he might be lying or not. She wasn't able to see if he was lying or not anyways since she wasn't an expert on reading people but he did look serious and sound serious at least.
She sighed, "Fine, what are you looking to get them?"
"I was thinking 3 clothing sets each, one casual, one fancy, and one sexy." He answered easily.
The corner of her mouth twitched and she narrowed her eyes at him but moved to the clothing racks anyway. Both Alicia and Kaya had been shopping here for a while now so she knew their sizes and preferences.
Kaya came more than Alicia so she knew her pretty well too. She was surprised to hear that the hot blonde was bi, similar to her. While she wasn't off-put by men completely, she just had no trust for them.
She may find a guy on the street hot, but she wanted more of an emotional attachment rather than a physical one. She went around asking a few questions of Alex who answered to the best of his abilities as a man without a fashion sense.
Getting increasingly frustrated about his fashion choices, she decided to also pick out a few things for him and pushed him into the changing room.
"You have really nice blue eyes so you should mostly wear blue, it brings them out more." She accidentally said and immediately regretted it as Alex grew a smirk on his face.
"Was that a compliment?" He teased.
"Shut up before I kick you out!" She slammed the dressing room door behind her and Alex lightly chuckled and tried on a few outfits.
He ended up giving Sarah a fashion show of sorts, but she was in the designer mode most of the time, critiquing what looked good and what didn't on him. He listened sorta carefully since he didn't care about fashion much but it would make him much more presentable in front of others.
Somehow, 2 hours went by with Sarah in the zone and Alex letting the expert do her thing. While they may not be friends, they at least had a mutual understanding of each other after today.
"Hey, are you done yet?" Sarah complained as she came up to the door of his looking at a clipboard in her hands.
She still had to work normally while he was there so a few other customers had also come needing help.
"I can't zip this top up," Alex complained.
He was trying on a weird shirt jacket thing that was somehow in style. It looked strange and felt uncomfortable but she was the expert. Suddenly the door of his area opened and he saw Sarah walk in.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Alex tried to cover up but Sarah looked at him weirdly.
What? It's just a shirt, not like you're na...ked..." She started and quietly trailed off as she saw in the mirror his giant thang hanging.
Her brain short-circuited before she blushed hard and turned around quickly.
"W-Why are you naked?! Its a shirt!" She complained and hid her face in her clipboard.
"You gave me overalls with it remember??" Alex complained back as he struggled to grab his pants and put them on, "I've never worn them before so I ended up taking my pants off to put them on. Not like I thought anyone would barge in here though!"
"That's n-not how you wear overalls!!" She squeaked.
"Why are you still here?" Alex complained again as he could still see her in the mirror.
He sighed managing to put his pants back on.
"I've got pants on now. Are you going to leave yet?" He questioned and she slowly turned around.
She was silent for a moment as she got a better look at his muscles. It had been the first time she saw someone so muscular. Although she wrote men off, it didn't mean she wasn't attracted to them.
Alex could feel a bit of tension in the air, unsure how to feel about it.
"Y-You need help getting the top on right?" She still avoided his gaze, focused on his abs.
She was unsure why she was staring so much but she found it hard to turn away. She hated herself for having feelings like this for a man, but maybe her walls came down unconsciously after coming to an agreement with Alex.
Alex still felt awkward but let her help anyway. While he didn't like the top, she was the expert and he was a bit curious as to where this would go...
