Manly Men Don't Buy Makeup!!

So, it's the Saturday before Mother's Day and I realize that I have run out of makeup. I was planning to buy some more but we have somewhere to go. I summoned the courage to ask Nic to go to the BX to get me some more foundation. I realize that this is a risky situation, he'll probably throw a fit and get it wrong any way. But I ask. He sighs and then begins to become increasingly nervous. He asks questions repeatedly and begs me not to make him go. I tell him he doesn't have to I will just go, but we will be late. He sighs again and then grabs the empty bottle so that he can use it to reference and goes to the BX.




I get out of the shower and hear his feet pacing on the hardwood floors. I ask him if he got it for me and he goes on to tell this long drawn out story about how he couldn't find it and how it made him look stupid and how real manly men don't buy women's makeup and he shouldn't be expected to either.
He then hurriedly asks me to check the bag and see if he got the right one. I immediately notice that indeed he has purchased Revlon Color Stay number 180 Sand Beige. I squeal with gratitude and pride , but only on the inside. I look at him with a forlorn face, I tell him that it's the wrong color but I'm glad he tried. He looked so defeated. I then exclaimed my appreciation and hugged him tightly.
Nic is losing a little more of his manhood every day but somehow it brings a little sense of accomplishment to the both of us.
