SEVEN AND A HALF MONTHS LATER...
"Let's just do this, okay?" Charlotte sighs as she wraps her arms around
me and moves her body closer to mine. Nodding stoically, I take a deep
breath and lean into my BFF, kissing her as deeply as I've ever kissed
my boyfriend.
"Sixty seconds start now!" Paul laughs from behind me as I close my eyes
and turn my head in toward Charlotte and away from the videophone that
is inevitably recording my embarrassment. I should also point out that
the only thing I- and, for that matter, Charlotte- is wearing is an
impractically tight, long-sleeved shiny purple gymnastics leotard that's
ridden up into a highly uncomfortable wedgie.
Why are we wearing such odd clothing? Well, it's August 2012, we live in
London, and there's something going on here at the moment that's kind-of
a big deal! To be more specific, it's the 7th of August, and tonight is
the final of the artistic gymnastics competition. Keith, Paul, Charlotte
and myself are celebrating... with a twister tournament. That myself and
Charlotte just lost. Embarrassingly quickly.
"Thirty seconds," Paul says with a chuckle as my lips remained glued to
Charlotte's, our lipstick mingling together and our cheeks burning with
embarrassment. Virtually every night throughout the course of the games,
we've either hosted or attended a party themed around one particular
event- on Saturday, it was tennis, the day before we had a pool party
(to represent swimming), we even had a Judo-themed party last week.
Though our substitution of 'pillow fighting' for Judo wasn't
particularly 'Olympic'.
This has been pretty much par for the course over the last few months.
Ever since Charlotte's documentary was broadcast in February we've been
hosting and attending parties like they were going out of fashion.
Sometimes the parties are just for us & our boyfriends, like tonight,
sometimes we play host to over 60 people.
Charlotte doesn't even need an excuse any more, though obviously she
loves to throw a party around a theme (like our Olympic parties over the
last few days). Following the success of our 'Pan Am' party (nicely
contrasting the abject failure of the show itself) Charlotte, Kristie,
Mary & myself have been doing the 'matching costumes' thing a lot. For
Charlotte's 21st birthday in May we all dressed up as Las Vegas-inspired
showgirls and performed a little routine for the amassed guests, which
was fun, even if the costume (a very stretchy satin bodysuit, fishnet
tights, bicep-length satin gloves and HUGE feathers) was by far the most
ridiculous I'd ever worn! Paul was particularly pleased when Charlotte
made a fuss out of him for his 23rd in March, and was especially pleased
with the sexy waitress costume (shiny satin blouse, super-tight satin
'hobble' skirt) I and all the 'girlfriends' wore. Especially as I wore
my sexiest lace lingerie underneath! In fact we always wear special
'service' costumes for the boys' birthdays- for Keith's 21st in February
we wore Hooters uniforms (no, I wasn't allowed to wear a skirt instead
of the shorts) and for Mary's boyfriend's birthday in May we broke out
the Playboy Bunny costumes again. Charlotte's promised me something
extra-special for my 21st next month- I can't wait!
Whilst it seems that I spend most of my time partying with Charlotte, I
do find some time to be alone with Paul. Charlotte's travels for Spencer
& Hall and Keith's studies up north (though next year will be his last)
mean I have the house to myself quite a lot, which makes it a lot easier
to spend the night with my sexy boyfriend! Over the last seven months
we've grown a lot closer- not quite 'Charlotte & Keith' close, but in
addition to the sex- which we've had ridiculous amounts of- we've also
done proper 'couple' things, including a weekend in Barcelona this April
just gone- looking around the city, watching a football game (Paul's
idea, though it was an incredible atmosphere) and spending virtually
every other second in each other's pants!
I've had other holidays throughout the year too- Australia in January
was AMAZING. Spending a whole week in the middle of winter wearing
nothing but bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, sarongs and floaty sundresses
was every part the break from reality I needed after the crazy Christmas
I'd had. And the tan got me a lot of modelling work from swimwear and
underwear/lingerie catalogues in February!
Joshua's been keeping me very busy in that area, as per usual. I
averaged almost four shoots per week over the course of spring- mostly
fashion, but a lot of make-up and underwear as well. I've been doing
fewer 'costume'-style shoots than when I first started, possibly as I'm
gaining 'seniority' amongst the ranks of Joshua's models, I don't know.
That didn't prevent Joshua from sending me along to another shoot for a
PVC fetish clothing company, despite my protests. There I had my first
run-in with things called 'Ballet Boots', boots designed to force your
feet into an en pointe position (Beyonce wore a pair in a music video
she did once, I think). They were every bit as uncomfortable and painful
as you'd imagine, and I swore I'd never wear another pair as long as I
lived, so naturally the following day I bought a pair for myself off of
the internet and have had Paul take them off on several occasions!
"Fifteen seconds," my boyfriend chuckles as my embarrassment hits fever
pitch and I feel my saliva begin to mix together with Charlotte's. "Hey
Keith, we should have gone for two minutes, that was far too easy!" Paul
only laughs louder as I flip the deep-purple coloured tip of my middle
finger up at him.
It may seem like my life has been a case of work, sex and partying over
the last few months but I have found time for myself as well. Ever since
reconciling with my family I've visited them every weekend, and dad
started giving me additional driving lessons as a way of bonding with
me. It worked- I passed my test in June and am now the proud owner of a
baby blue Renault Clio! I still practise ballet with Charlotte, though
only once a week now, with both of us being extremely busy with our
respective careers. I've improved a lot, though- I'm now as at ease
walking and dancing en pointe as I am in heels or in bare feet. Our
recital in April went perfectly, even though our bit was just eight
minutes long and the audience was composed solely of the families of
Ellen's students, we still received a standing ovation, and I had a
photograph taken of me in my tutu with my parents that currently takes
pride of place on my bedside table.
Looking back even on that photo it's amazing how much I've changed
physically, too. I've been taking hormones for 18 months and those in
the know have told me it'd be impossible to believe I was ever anything
other than 100% female. My hips have widened slightly further and my
waist has narrowed slightly too (though I did start wearing corsets
again briefly earlier this year, which may have contributed). My skin is
softer and smoother than most genetic females, and my face has taken on
even more subtle feminine characteristics. Following my boob job in
December I've had two more minor procedures done on them to keep them
both the same size. I'm told I shouldn't need to have any more
procedures done, though- and I won't need to buy a whole new collection
of bras either! I'm thankful I've not had to have any further
operations- not for another year and a half, anyway, which is when I
have 'the' operation. Sometimes I actually find myself in two minds
about that- my male genitals have shrunk so much some days I don't even
bother wearing a vagina panty any more, a thong and a pair of tights is
usually more than enough 'camouflage'. Obviously I'm wearing one now,
underneath my leotard, but I honestly do believe I could get away
without it. On the other hand, I do want to make love as a woman. I NEED
to make love as a woman. Sure, anal sex provides orgasms by the
bucketload, but deep down I know it's not the same.
The big news, though, is that I've been accepted onto an Open University
Course this September, studying Business Administration! I've kept this
a secret from Charlotte and the gang as I want to surprise them with
this ahead of my 21st next month. My parents already know, and in
typical fashion have already cleared a spot on their wall for my
graduation photo!
"...And that's time!" Paul yells as Charlotte and I eagerly pull away
from each other and dive into the welcoming arms of our respective
boyfriends (who, in wearing plain T-shirts and shorts, haven't really
got into the spirit of things). Still embarrassed from my forfeit, I
give Paul a light, playful punch in the kidneys.
"That's for enjoying it too much," I say as Paul holds me tighter by way
of apology.
"If you'd won, was there any way you'd have let me and Keith off the
hook?" Paul asks, leadingly. For the record, their forfeit would have
been to wear our leotards for the rest of the night.
"No," I sigh.
"...And would you have laughed your head off constantly?" Paul asks.
"...Yes," I confess as we crash down onto our sofa and snuggle up
together. It doesn't take long for one of Paul's hands to find its way
to my nearly-bare buttocks, and stay there for the rest of the night. We
don't stay up much beyond 11pm- watching highlights from the gymnastics,
some of which Charlotte and I try (and fail!) to recreate.
Before too long, the four of us found ourselves in bed- not together,
obviously, Charlotte & Keith in their bed and me and Paul in mine- and
with all the eagerness that had been beaming out of his eyes all
evening, Paul quickly freed my body from the leotard that had been
clinging to it as I freed his squirming penis from his shorts and
expertly massaged it to full length. It didn't take long for Paul to
find his way into my backside and finish the night by riding us both to
the point of orgasm and beyond...
Paul and I both wake up just before 8AM and take turns in the shower. We
would shower together, but I can't shower with the vagina panty in place
and whilst he hasn't said anything explicitly, it's clear that Paul
would prefer to pretend that the 'growth between my legs' didn't exist.
As would I, for that matter. After eating breakfast (Charlotte and Keith
are still in bed) we get dressed for the day ahead. Both of us have work
today, but not quite the work you might expect.
Feeling in a particularly feminine mood following my 'encounter' with
Charlotte last night, I decide to go for a 'pink' theme today. I start
by putting on a thick layer of pink eyeshadow, followed by thick mascara
and eyeliner, and finish up with a dark pink lipstick. I redo my nails
the same colour as my lips, and spray on my sweetest-smelling perfume
before I pick out my clothing for the day. Ensuring Paul's back is
turned (I'm not wearing a vagina panty today, it's too hot) I slip into
a tight, white halterneck thong bodysuit that shows off my body (and my
cleavage!) beautifully but still breathes enough to ensure I won't be
sat in a puddle of sweat all day. I tie my hair up into a high ponytail-
which Paul normally sees as an invitation to come over and start kissing
my neck, sadly for him the halterneck prevents that today!- and roll a
pair of nude hold-up stockings up my legs (I'd prefer to be bare-legged,
but sadly that isn't an option).
I stride over to my wardrobe, giggling as Paul gently holds me from
behind and gets himself a handful of my left buttock, his pinkie finger
gently stroking the thin strap of the thong nestled between my buttocks.
I slowly extricate myself from Paul's arms and pick a cute pastel pink
skirt suit out of my wardrobe and ease myself into it. The skirt is,
obviously, a pencil skirt, but it's a short one, coming to about 4
inches above my knee. Enough to show plenty of leg, not enough to show
plenty of stocking top! The jacket is fitted and accentuates my body
beautifully when paired with the bodysuit. Once I've slipped my feet
into a matching pair of 5" stilettos, put on a bracelet, two pairs of
earrings and my designer sunglasses, all I need is a matching handbag
and I'm ready to take on the world!
Paul, for his part, is wearing a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a pair of
trainers.
"I still don't get why you have to be so over-dressed," Paul muses as we
walk hand-in-hand to his car.
"This is Joshua we're talking about," I reply, referring (obviously) to
my modelling agent, and technically my employer. "He never wears
anything other than designer clothes, so you do need to keep up
appearances around him." Paul simply looks as me with an unconvinced
expression.
"Seriously," I continue as Paul takes us out of out driveway and onto
the tourist-filled streets of London, "I went round to his house once
for a meeting. 9:30pm on a Tuesday evening, he was still wearing his
business suit."
"And still bouncing off the walls with energy, I take it?" Paul asks
rhetorically.
"You know Joshua," I retort as we head further into the city.
Unsurprisingly, when we arrive at the office, Joshua is already there
and hard at work.
"Jamie!" Joshua greets me with a big hug as I enter the office and
prepare to take my seat behind the reception desk. For my OU course it
was recommended I get some work experience in an administration role,
and Joshua was more than happy to let me do work experience for him- for
free, obviously! So Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I'm either sat at
reception answering Joshua's phones for him or sorting out his extensive
filing.
"Paul Gould!" Joshua beams as he sees my boyfriend enter the office
after me. "When are you going to come and work for me?" Paul chuckles at
Joshua impromptu job offer, much like he has every time the two of them
meet.
"I've told you a million times," Paul says with a smirk, "fashion
photography isn't my thing!"
"Make it your thing and we can make loads of money together!" Joshua
insists. I simply chuckle as I place my handbag under my desk and switch
on my computer.
"I'll think about it," Paul says, before leaning over my desk and giving
me a lingering goodbye kiss. "See you later, gorgeous!"
"See you tomorrow," I grin as Paul heads back out to his car. He's up at
a photoshoot in Milton Keynes all day so there's no chance of meeting up
with him for lunch- not that Joshua gives me much time for lunch anyway!
Paul wasn't kidding when he said his photography style wasn't exactly
compatible with Joshua's line of business- as I found out repeatedly
over the last few months. Rather than being a fashion photographer or
paparazzo, Paul's more of an 'artistic' photographer, specialising in
fantasy settings, unrealistic stuff. Some of the more bizarre things
I've found myself doing for him- obviously as his girlfriend, I'm
expected to model for him- include being covered from head to toe in
silver paint (with just the flimsiest of bikinis to preserve my
modesty), dressed as a geisha- Paul's cousin is an amazing make-up
artist, able to make me look convincingly Japanese even after having my
whole face covered in white paint, dressed as a Victorian dominatrix
(think full Victorian-style dress- including a ridiculously tight
corset- only made out of leather and PVC), dressed as a 1950s housewife
(including authentic fifties underwear) who was, of course, abducted by
aliens, and dressed as a serious businesswoman, but wearing black pointe
shoes and conducting all my work whilst performing ballet moves (not
easy in a pencil skirt, believe me).
By far the weirdest shoot, however, was one where I was gradually
transformed into a mermaid. Not overly strange in itself, you might
think, but Paul had invested in extensive prosthetics that saw me
gradually transformed past mermaid and into a completely non-human fish-
like lifeform- and then immersed in water for a few video clips. I will
admit that the effect was remarkable- the changes between pictures are
so subtle that you can see the transformation taking place, but by the
end you can barely recognise that the creature is even human, let alone
that it's me under the make-up. I just wish Paul's cousin's make-up
hadn't been waterproof and therefore taken an age to remove!
Paul also does video shoots from time to time, though he usually saves
that for 'personal shoots' involving just the two of us- by which I of
course mean sex tapes. Paul's said his favourite one is the one where I
spend five minutes struggling into a skin-tight latex catsuit after
smearing my entire body with lubricant, which I follow up by wrapping a
torturously tight corset around my waist and tying on my aforementioned
pair of ballet boots. I then spend a few minutes tottering around before
sinking to my knees and giving Paul the longest blowjob I could before I
started having difficulty breathing (both from the corset and the
'blockage')! Hell, even I find that one highly erotic.
The day passes quickly, fortunately. The work isn't hard- mostly just
booking appointments and filing- but the difficult thing is dealing with
the attitudes of the other models. Every one- male or female- who comes
in for a meeting with Joshua takes a look at me sitting behind the
reception desk and immediately adopts a smug, superior front, the
assumption being that I'm unable to get any modelling jobs and need
Joshua to give me additional work to get money to live. Never mind the
fact that I'm wearing very expensive designer clothes, make-up and
jewellery, never mind the fact that, as one of Joshua's longest-serving
models, I get first dibs on most jobs, never mind the fact that it's
known I live with Charlotte, a bona fide celebrity and millionaire, I'm
just seen as 'poor Jamie who needs the money'. I don't mind- if there's
one thing my three years in the unemployment queue taught me, it's that
if you're patient, you WILL have the last laugh.
The office shuts, as always, at 5:30pm and I catch a taxi back home
where Charlotte and Keith are already waiting in the lounge. I head
upstairs and strip off my suit in private- obviously they can't know I'm
doing work experience until I tell them about my course- and change into
a comfortable cotton bra and thong set before pulling on a pink t-shirt,
a denim miniskirt and (of course) a pair of Ugg Boots.
"One of these days," Charlotte says suspiciously as I park myself down
on my sofa, "you are going to have to tell me where you disappear to all
day. If I didn't know any better I'd almost be tempted to think you
found yourself employment..."
"No party tonight?" I ask, huddling my silky smooth legs under my body
as I check facebook on my phone.
"Nothing really on tonight at the games," Charlotte explains, "and I
figure we'd better get the leotards washed before Saturday's party.
Beach volleyball tomorrow, though!"
"Did you say that was a daytime one?" I ask, still mostly engrossed in
the latest messages Paul's posted on my facebook wall.
"Yeah," Charlotte explains. "Also known as 'Keith mans the barbecue all
day and keeps us all fed'." Charlotte and I chuckle as Keith playfully
rolls his eyes and squeezes Charlotte a little tighter.
"...And if it's volleyball I'd better book in for a nail appointment at
the salon," I sigh.
"Already taken care of," Charlotte says smugly. "12pm on Friday good for
you?" Ooh, you sneaky cow, I think to myself- Charlotte's obviously been
paying attention and knows that Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are the
days I work for Joshua.
"Um," I stall, desperately trying to think of a retort, "didn't you say
it was a wrestling party on Friday? Seems pointless to have our nails
professionally done only to have them wrecked again 12 hours later."
"But the point is," Charlotte argues, "they will get wrecked tomorrow."
"Yes," I reply, "but surely we can patch them up on Friday and get them
redone professionally on Saturday?"
"Okay, if you insist," Charlotte says indignantly, "I guess I'll just
have to treat someone else to a salon visit on Friday."
"I guess you will," I say despite myself, inwardly grimacing the second
the words leave my mouth.
"Enough," Keith says, assuming the by now all-too-familiar role of
peacekeeper. Charlotte and I don't fall out often, but when we do-
usually over something trivial like when to have our nails done- and
Keith's not around, we can go four hours, sometimes even days without
talking to each other. Sometimes I'm amazed by just how stubborn
Charlotte can be. "Charlie, can I have a word?" Inwardly, I smugly
smile- Keith's scared enough of Charlotte that when I'm in the right-
which I usually am- he won't side with me openly, but will take
Charlotte aside and explain to her privately why I'm right. Sure enough,
ten minutes later Charlotte and Keith return and she curls back up on
her sofa with a frown on her face.
"I'll call the salon and get us booked in on Saturday," Charlotte
mumbles. Needless to say, the rest of the evening passes in near-silence
before we all head off to bed at around 10:30pm.
I'm awoken at 8:15 the following morning by my phone, but for once, it's
not the alarm that rouses me- I can immediately tell by the ringtone
that it's my boyfriend on the other end of the line. I smile and brush
the sleepiness out of my eyes before answering my phone.
"Do you know what time it is?" I complain with mock-tiredness. "It takes
a lot to get a model out of her bed this early..."
"How about that model's sexy photographer boyfriend in just a pair of
swimming shorts?" Paul responds with a smirk. Curious, I pull on a light
dressing gown and pad into the guest bedroom for a better view of our
outdoor pool. Sure enough, Paul's stretched out on one of the sun
loungers with only a pair of sunglasses and a pair of multi-coloured
shorts to preserve his dignity. I can't help but giggle as he waves at
me.
"Charlotte demanded I help her set up for the party this afternoon,"
Paul explains. "She didn't say how much I had to help, so..."
"I'll be right down," I say, still giggling. I head back into my room
and change into a fresh vagina panty before pulling on a plain, tight
black one-piece swimsuit. If I wear a bikini- which would have been my
first choice- the chlorine in the water would get to the vagina panty
more easily and wreck it, and I can't not wear one if I'm meeting with
Paul.
Knowing I'm going to end up in the pool, I decide not to bother with any
make-up, and I tie my hair back into a tight plait before heading out
into our back garden, where Paul is off his sun lounger and ready to
greet me with a long, deep kiss.
"Missed you yesterday," Paul says softly.
"I missed you too," I confess quietly as Paul holds me close to him.
"Well, you've got me for four whole days now!" Paul enthuses as I giggle
and cuddle him. "Glad you're in your swimsuit!" Paul chuckles as he
scoops me up into his arms and jumps the both of us into the pool. I
yelp a little as I briefly dip underwater before chuckling along with
Paul.
We spend the next half hour swimming and making out in the pool- Paul
even lowering the top half of my swimsuit at one point to play with my
breasts- before Charlotte loudly coughs, announcing her arrival.
"You know, Paul," she says indignantly, "when I asked you to come round
I'm sure I added 'to help set up the barbecue', not 'to mess around in
the pool with your girlfriend all day'."
"Oh come on," I jokingly plead, "we haven't seen each other in almost 24
hours!" Charlotte just giggles as Paul and I pout at her, before
dropping two large beach towels at the side of the pool.
"Get dried, get showered, get dressed and get down here to help!"
Charlotte insists as Paul and I haul ourselves out of the pool, drying
ourselves on Charlotte's towels. We hold hands all the way back up to my
bedroom where Paul strips out of his shorts and heads into the shower
first, shortly followed by myself (still wearing my swimsuit), dropping
to my knees in the shower and using my mouth to, ahem, 'ensure his penis
is clean'. Once Paul is done (in more ways than one) he steps out of the
shower, allowing me to strip off my swimsuit and vagina panty and get
cleaned myself. Once I've dried myself off and blow-dried my hair, I
head back into my bedroom, pick out a fresh vagina panty and, whilst
fighting off Paul's attempts to fondle my bare breasts, change into the
volleyball bikini Charlotte had made for our 'team'. After fixing my
make-up- just a small amount today, given the physical activity we'll be
doing later- I tie my hair back into the same plait it was in earlier,
throw a short baby blue sundress over myself and pull on my favourite
pair of girly pink trainers. Linking hands again with Paul- who's decked
out in just a t-shirt, shorts and a pair of sandals- we head downstairs
to the patio where Keith and Charlotte are already waiting for us, Keith
in his shorts & t-shirt and Charlotte wearing just her bikini & sparkly
trainers.
The party goes well, as have all of our Olympic parties- about 24 people
drop by in the end, meaning Keith and Paul spend most of the morning and
afternoon ensuring everyone's kept topped up with a constant supply of
food. Paul, of course, had to make a comment that the hot dog he gave me
wasn't my first 'sausage' of the day, and even though we've been going
out for almost eight months, he still earned a foul look from Keith. He-
by which I mean Keith- is so over-protective of me. He even texted me
whilst me and Paul were in Barcelona, claiming it was Charlotte who put
him up to it when I know for a fact he was at university at the time.
The party tapers off just after 5pm. We'd long since run out of meat for
the barbecue and our plans for a volleyball tournament fell a little
flat after about two games- it was too hot for playing volleyball anyway
and our 'beach' was really just our back garden so we simply retired to
the nearest sun lounger instead. It should also go without saying that
Charlotte and I lost our first match fairly conclusively, hence why the
enthusiasm for the tournament went straight out the window.
"If we're going to have a wrestling party tomorrow," I complain,
reclining on one of our sun loungers, "can we at least have the air
conditioning on?"
"We will, I promise," Charlotte concedes, letting her arms flop down the
sides of her lounger. "At least there's only three more days..."
"Are you doing any parties for the paralympics?" Paul jokes. Charlotte
and I just look at each other and muster up just enough energy to tip
Paul back out of his sun lounger and into the pool!
We stay outside until way past 9pm, the four of us just listening to
music and drinking blissfully cold, blissfully alcoholic beverages.
You're probably wondering why neither Krystie nor Mary hung around after
the party ended- well... That's a complicated story.
Remember at Christmas, when Charlotte gave me the use of Spencer &
Hall's facilities to make my 2013 calendar? Remember also a couple of
days earlier when I agreed to team up with Krystie? Turns out those two
things were kinda a little bit... incompatible.
In what was probably the worst dilemma I've faced since becoming Jamie-
Lee I had to decide between hurting my BFF's feelings or hurting the
closest friend I had who didn't know my secret (Keith excepted, of
course). The fact that I'm sitting in the Sun what Charlotte and not
Krystie should tell you what I chose. Ever since, Krystie and I have
been... well, distant isn't really the word. In fact, Krystie's been
outright hostile to me on several occasions. Mary helped to play
peacemaker- hence why the two of them still attend our parties- but
Krystie's made no secret how she feels about myself and Charlotte.
Charlotte, of course, tolerates it because she sees it as Krystie
needing her more than she needs them- and let's face it, she's probably
right.
To make matters worse? A couple of months ago Joshua signed Krystie to
her books. It turns out that she'd been taking nude modelling jobs for
various websites and her old agent didn't really approve of it. I put in
a good word for her with Joshua, which I hoped would help to mend
bridges- but then, of course, I started doing intern work. Of all the
models who have made fun of me for working behind the desk at Joshua's
office, none have been more vicious and catty than Krystie. I'm guessing
the only reason she hasn't told Charlotte is either because she assumes
Charlotte already knows, or she can't stand the thought of gossiping
with her the way we used to gossip together.
Fortunately, I always have my BFF to fall back on, and my sexy boyfriend
to rely on whenever I get too down. It should really go without saying
that after turning into bed just after 10pm Paul and I find ourselves in
bed, my face buried deep into his crotch, motivating him to ride me to
orgasm after orgasm...
Friday is a work day for me so I wake up at 7:45, quickly run through my
morning routine, put my make-up on, repaint my finger and toenails a
dark pink and get dressed for the day. Joshua has a 'business casual'
dress policy for Fridays. For Joshua that just means taking his jacket
off whilst at work, but I use the policy to flex my fashion muscles a
little. Foregoing a bra & thong (though I don a vagina panty as usual as
I'll be meeting Paul later), I pull a very clingy, long-sleeved dark
blue leotard up my body. It has a panel in the front to support my
breasts and show a healthy amount of cleavage. Counting yesterday's
swimsuit, it's actually the sixth day in a row I've worn a leotard-style
garment (and I've not even had any ballet lessons, as Ellen's away
teaching at her ballet summer camp), but this is an outfit I'd planned
weeks in advance, and this leotard is so sexy I can't not wear it! As
the leotard is full-bottomed instead of a thong, I pull on an ankle-
length, very slender (but still nice and loose) grey skirt, held up by a
thin black belt. A pair of strappy 5" cork wedges go on my feet (I don't
bother with any hosiery- it's far too hot), two dangly pairs of earrings
go in my lobes, one of my favourite perfumes and some of my favourite
bracelets and necklaces complete my look for the day. I tie my hair into
a tight (but playful-looking) updo, which of course prompts Paul to rush
over and pepper my neck with kisses! Grabbing my handbag, I head
downstairs, making sure not to wake Charlotte or Keith!
As always, Paul drives me to work, fends off Joshua's relentless job
offers and gives me a long, lingering kiss (dipping me backwards a bit!)
before heading off for the day. I settle down behind my desk and rpepare
to start the day when I notice the name in the 10:30 slot of Joshua's
diary- Krystie Fullerton.
The next hour and a half pass apprehensively as I concentrate on my
work, arranging appointments for models and calling around companies
trying to find work for said models, when sure enough, at 10:28am, a
familiar brown-haired figure walks through the door, wearing an
inexpensive grey skirt suit.
"I'll let Joshua know you're here," I say stoically to Krystie as she
takes a seat across the room from my desk and begins flicking through
the magazines, not even looking in my direction. I quietly roll my eyes
as the next two minutes drag by before Joshua appears at the door to his
office and beckons Krystie inside.
"Jamie- you too," he says in my direction, confusing me slightly. But,
he is still my boss, so I dutifully rise from my chair and follow Joshua
and Krystie into the office. I sit down next to Krystie opposite
Joshua's desk, ensuring my skirt remains straight as I cross my left leg
over my right.
"Don't think I haven't noticed what's been going on these last few
months," Joshua admonishes before he's even fully sat down in his chair.
"I've known models far too long to know that something's up. I've also
known the two of you long enough to know WHAT's up."
"I'm not the one who went back on my word," Krystie retorts spitefully.
"And what am I supposed to have done?" I snap back, not disguising the
bitterness in my voice. "Tell my best friend where to shove her
Christmas present?"
"Didn't we agree to make our calendar together BEFORE Christmas?"
Krystie asks incredulously.
"Ladies!" Joshua sharply interjects. "You've had this argument a hundred
times! Each time it ends with you growing further and further apart. It
can't go on."
"Especially not if Miss Burke goes full time as your secretary," Krystie
mockingly agrees, fully earning herself a death glare from me.
"There's a reason Jamie's been working for me," Joshua says with a smirk
on his face. "A reason she hasn't even told Charlotte yet. Jamie, go
ahead." I'm apprehensive- armed with this knowledge, Krystie could
easily go behind my back and tell Charlotte my secret. Then again, it
could show her that she can fully trust me again. Knowing I have no
choice with both Krystie and Joshua staring intently at me, I take a
deep breath.
"I'm going to be studying business administration at the Open
University," I confess, "starting next month. Joshua's letting me work
here to get some work experience."
"Jamie," Krystie says with a confused look on her face, "That is so
cool! I've always wanted to be a student, go to student parties, you
know?"
"Well," I say with a smile creeping onto my face, "I won't be that kind
of student, I'll be doing all my studying from home, attending lectures
online..."
"Watching those creepy bearded guys on BBC2?" Joshua interjects with a
laugh.
"Do they still have those?" Krystie asks with genuine curiosity. "I
thought they got rid of them ages ago?"
"Yeah, it's all online now," I confirm with a smile.
"I can't believe you haven't told Charlotte yet!" Krystie says, a wide,
familiar grin now firmly attached to her face.
"Well, you know what she'd say," I reply, slipping fully back into
'gossip' mode. "She'd be all like 'isn't modelling good enough for you'
and so on. I really don't think she ever thinks more than a couple of
weeks ahead."
"Tell me about it," Krystie says, and we both giggle together for the
first time in ages, before Joshua makes his presence known with a cough.
I immediately realise my faux pas.
"Oh god, I'm sorry," I say, still giggling, "I'm sure you didn't ask
Krystie here just to gossip with me!"
"Well, now that you mention it," Joshua says with a wide grin... Krystie
and I simply giggle further at Joshua's set-up. For all his bombast, he
really is one of the cleverest people I know.
"So," I say to my renewed friend with a grin on my pink lips, "lunch,
usual time and place?"
"Forget that!" Joshua laughs, "Take the rest of the day off, I can
answer my own phones for once!"
"A-Are you sure?" I ask hesitantly.
"Go!" Joshua commands, "Before I change my mind!"
"Thank you," Krystie and I say simultaneously. "Thank you so much!" As I
log off my computer and grab my handbag Krystie is already gossiping
like the two of us has never fallen out.
"I guess I couldn't really blame you," she says as she grabs her own bag
and checks her dark grey-coloured nails. "I mean, if I'd been given the
use of Spencer & Hall's facilities I'd snap them up without a second
thought."
"I promise I'll tell you a bit ahead of time if anything like this
happens again," I say, desperately trying to keep the situation sweet.
"Anyway, you didn't answer my question- lunch, usual time and place?"
"Shopping first," Krystie says with a grin, "you HAVE to tell me where
you got that skirt. And those wedges. And that leotard too, actually." I
giggle as the two of us leave the office, close friends once again.
The two of us- along with Mary and Paul (who'd given us a lift after
accompanying us on our shopping trip)- arrive back home just after
2:30pm to help Keith & Charlotte prepare for tonight's Olympic party.
Sure enough, Krystie's carrying three shopping bags with my entire
outfit (and a bit more) in them whilst I have just the two bags which
contain two pairs of stilettos and a cute strapless summer dress.
Charlotte and Krystie, of course, immediately get on like a house on
fire as if there'd never been a falling out between the two of them.
She's not overtly letting it on, but you can easily tell Krystie is just
LOVING knowing something Charlotte doesn't.
Tonight's party is 'wrestling', so our costumes for tonight are skin-
tight unitards.
...At least, that's what we girls are wearing. It turns out Paul & Keith
share a love of WWF wrestling (don't ask me why, I can't even begin to
explain it) so while me, Charlotte, Krystie & Mary are dressed properly,
our boyfriends (it's just the eight of us tonight) have all come as
long-haired meatheads in musclesuits. This is an especially silly look
for Paul, who's (normally) 6 feet tall and just under 9 stone! Keith is
pulling off the look well though, even if I don't get why he's wearing a
comically huge fake nose.
As you may have gathered, it is just the eight of us tonight. As with
before, there will be a competition- Keith had wanted us to watch the
latest WWF pay-per-view but fortunately girl power (and common sense!)
prevailed so us four girls are going to have an arm wrestling tournament
instead- which let's face it, is going to be much more entertaining for
the boys!
I surely don't need to explain by now what happens at the party. We
chat, we drink, Charlotte and I lose the tournament embarrassingly
quickly (Krystie eventually wins, much to her obvious delight) and our
guests depart just after 10:30pm. Paul, of course, insists on carrying
me upstairs to bed in a fireman's carry whilst still wearing his
musclesuit, though he's quick to strip it off once my hand finds its way
inside his trunks!
With the exception of a half hand- half blowjob that's all the sex we
have for the night, as we've quickly established a tradition of waking
up on Saturday morning and having so much sex that we almost fall
straight back to sleep again! To give you an idea of what I mean, we're
awake at 7:30am and only get out of bed at 9:30 because Charlotte's
booked an appointment for us (me & Charlotte, not me & Paul, obviously)
at the salon. After showering and changing my vagina panty I slip into a
fresh bra & thong set and pull on a light, short-sleeved patterned
dress. I initially pair this with a pair of light black tights, but I
make the 'mistake' of straightening and adjusting my tights within arm's
reach of Paul, so naturally the tights inevitably end up in a pile of my
bedroom floor whilst Paul rides me to yet another orgasm! I eventually
decide to go bare-legged and wear a pair of flat sandals with the dress,
as well as my jewellery and a matching handbag, of course. As we're
going to the salon I only apply a light layer of make-up.
Charlotte and I head out just after 10am (the boys are going to their
families for the weekend- tonight's party excepted, of course) and the
instant we sit down in the taxi Charlotte starts interrogating me about
my reconciliation with Krystie.
"So..." Charlotte begins in her trademark inquisitive tone, "I noticed
you and little Miss Fullerton getting on like a house on fire last night
for the first time in, oh, ages?"
"We had a little spat, we got over it," I explain with a smug Charlotte-
like grin on my face.
"'Little spats' don't last for seven months!" Charlotte exclaims,
getting obviously agitated that there's something she's being kept in
the dark about. "What exactly did you say or do to make it up to her?"
"That's between me and her," I say, my grin getting wider. Charlotte
opens her mouth to respond but thinks better of it- every time she's
tried to 'pull rank' with me in an argument I always end up calling her
'dad', agitating her further and causing her to pout and sulk, so by now
she's learned to put up and shut up whenever I get the upper hand!
Charlotte and I stay at the salon until almost 2pm. We have our eyebrows
reshaped to perfection and filled in, as well as thick black eyeliner
and a light purple/silver eyeshadow (to match tonight's costumes). I opt
for a light pink lipstick, whilst Charlotte picks out a hot pink colour.
We both have long french manicures put on the end of our long, slender
fingers and we eventually leave the salon feeling- no, being- the most
beautiful girls in the world.
When we get home I'm immediately put to work by Charlotte as we get
ready for tonight's party. It's the last one for now (Charlotte & Keith
have tickets to the closing ceremony tomorrow) and the theme is
'Rhythmic Gymnastics', so we'll be back in our freshly-laundered
leotards later tonight. Rather than a tournament, Charlotte and Mary
(who was an amateur gymnast when she was younger and actually
represented Northern Ireland in competitions more than once) have put
together a routine that we'll be performing for our guests later on
tonight. I'm thankful that months of ballet have made me a lot more
flexible than I used to be- if I'd tried doing the splits 18 months ago
the results would have been very painful!
At about 5:30 we head upstairs and change into our skin-tight purple
leotards, and I tie my long blonde hair back into a high ponytail, held
in place with a sparkly purple scrunchie. Obviously, I take off all my
jewellery- I don't want to do a cartwheel and hang myself with my
necklace- but I touch up my professionally-applied makeup a little to
ensure it remains perfect throughout the night. I pull on a flared black
miniskirt and a pair of nude-coloured flats to cover up before heading
downstairs where Charlotte is waiting, dressed identically except for
wearing a pair of red booty shorts instead of a skirt (and her hair
isn't long enough to tie into a ponytail).
"Remember your moves for the routine?" Charlotte asks worriedly.
"Yes, yes, yes," I reassure her. "You only drilled it into me a hundred
times over the last few weeks. I still don't get why I, of all people,
am the one doing the splits at the end."
"You have the longest hair of all of us," Charlotte says by way of
explanation. I simply roll my eyes and hang around with Charlotte,
waiting for the guests to arrive. Inevitably, Paul and Keith arrive
first and immediately make a beeline for their respective girlfriends,
Paul in particular eager to get a feel of my soft skin encased in
skintight lycra. Before too long our living room is full of people
eating, drinking and dancing. Charlotte and I are particularly gratified
that most people are dressing up to match the theme- most of the girls
(and a couple of guys!) are wearing shiny, stretchy gymnastics leotards
of all designs (though obviously none clash with our little 'troupe').
It isn't long before Paul's called away for bartender duties. When
Charlotte learned that he was the head student barman during his
university days she's been relying on him more and more for his cocktail
mixing prowess. With Charlotte ordering him around (not that he seems to
mind too much) and Krystie and Mary dancing with their respective
boyfriends, I make my way over to where Keith is chatting to a few
friends, hoping to elicit some attention from him. When I arrive,
however, he's deep in the middle of a conversation that immediately
makes my ears burn.
"...lucky, living with two of the sexiest girls in the country," Keith's
friend Tom teases.
"I don't know what you mean," Keith says, genuinely confused by Tom's
remark.
"Charlotte & Jamie," Tom clarifies. "Are you seriously telling me you
haven't at least THOUGHT about a threesome with them both?"
"Jamie!?" Keith says incredulously, causing my heart to crack a little.
"No, no way!"
"What?" Tom asks with disbelief. "How can you not find Jamie attractive?
She looks almost identical to Charlotte, only a little less...
supermodelly." I should be offended that the guys are talking about me
the same way they would a page-three girl, but- and call me shallow-
it's always flattering to hear someone pay me a compliment.
"Okay, she's not bad," Keith concedes, "but if Charlotte's a 10- which
she is- Jamie's at most a- a- ...3." My jaw drops and my heart finally
breaks at the callous dismissal of me by the man I've adored from afar
for so, so long. Three!?!? How can he possibly say three!?
I take a moment to compose myself before marching back to our temporary
bar. Three!? I'll show him who's a three...
"I need to borrow my boyfriend for a few minutes," I announce to
Charlotte, not giving her the opportunity to complain as I march Paul
out of the party area and up to my bedroom.
"Jamie, what's up?" Paul asks confusedly. "I'm kinda in demand down
there..."
"Girlfriend privileges," I explain as I close the door to my room, fling
off my skirt and immediately launch myself at him, pulling him into a
deep, passionate kiss and dragging him over to the bed.
"Okay," Paul says, catching on to what I mean by 'girlfriend
privileges'. "You are wearing your latex thing, right?"
"I'm wearing a skin-tight leotard in a room full of other people," I
explain, trying not to be too condescending. "Yes, I'm wearing my 'latex
thing'." Paul pauses as I finish my sentence, suddenly remembering
something.
"Ah, speaking of latex things," Paul mumbles as my hand reaches his
groin and begins to work its magic, "I kinda, sorta don't have any
condoms with me." I simply stare at Paul with disappointment etched all
over my face.
"Oh come on," he says defensively, "I wasn't spending the night and I
didn't realise that, well, 'this' was going to happen." I tighten my
grip on his penis- not to painful levels, but to 'I mean business'
levels- and begin rhythmically massaging it.
"We don't need a condom," I say, stripping off my leotard with one hand
whilst continuing to masturbate Paul with the other.
"...And you know I can't get the lube we use on my skin," Paul argues,
reminding me of the time he tested the solution on his forearm and ended
up scratching it so much he almost needed hospital treatment.
"We don't need lube either," I say confidently, pulling off my leotard
completely and gently leading Paul into a sitting position on the side
of my bed. Making sure the strap of my vagina panty won't be an
obstruction, I slowly lower myself onto the glistening head of Paul's
penis.
Previously when we'd made love, it had always been with the use of a
condom and some lubricant. Sure, it had been erotic in the extreme, but
it had always been kind of... methodical. 'Clean', even. But this, this
feeling as Paul slipped deeper inside me, this was different. It was
hot- both metaphorically and literally- passionate, steamy.
Paul's yells in my ear tell me he feels the exact same way, and before
too long we simultaneously orgasm, which for me includes the additional
feeling of Paul's sticky semen splashing inside of me. We both gasp as
the orgasmic feeling subsides and Paul withdraws his flaccid- but still
red-hot- penis from my backside with a slimy 'pop'.
"Uhhhh..." Paul sighs as he lays back on my bed. "We need to do that
more often."
"Damn right we do," I giggle as I grab a tissue and wipe Paul's penis
clean and stuff it back in his pants. "You'd better get back downstairs,
don't want to make it TOO obvious what we were just doing."
"Sure thing," he says, caressing my sweaty, naked body and giving me a
lingering kiss before heading back down to the party. I stand there for
a second after Paul leaves, stretching the sexual tension out of my
joints before I feel a strange warm feeling trickling down my thigh.
Instantly realising what's happened, I grab another tissue to wipe
Paul's juices off my thigh and make a point of thoroughly cleaning it
before putting my leotard back on. I head to my bathroom to 'empty'
myself when my plans are thwarted by a knock on my door.
"Jamie!" Charlotte yells impatiently. "Showtime!" This is not good news-
I can hardly go downstairs and do a gymnastics routine in a skintight
leotard with my boyfriend's payload seeping out of my backside. I
quickly have the brainwave of plugging my backside with something like a
tampon- except obviously, I don't own any tampons- what would I need
them for, after all- and I can't ask Charlotte for one without raising
too many questions, such as 'what would I need it for'. Dammit, I think
to myself, why couldn't she have sent Krystie or Mary up to get me?
"Gimme a minute," I yell to my BFF, desperately trying to stall for time
whilst I figure something out.
"What's keeping you?" Charlotte asks, turning my door handle.
"Nononononono," I panic, rushing to my door, clenching my buttocks in a
sped-up mince to prevent me from 'dripping' over the carpet any more.
"I'm, uh, I'm undressed. Just been to the toilet, um, didn't want to
have to need to go mid-performance!"
"Well get your leotard back on and get downstairs!" Charlotte commands,
apparently (hopefully) buying my excuse. I can't do the performance
whilst clenching my buttocks and I certainly can't let a stain appear on
my backside mid-routine. With no other options, I head into my bathroom,
pick out my smallest butt plug and slide it into place. The flared end
shouldn't show too much of an outline on the seat of my leotard unless
you look really closely, and it's small enough that it won't interfere
with the routine too much. And if it does, well, everyone's been
drinking so hopefully they're not expecting much.
I squeeze my body back into my already-sweaty leotard- not the most
pleasant experience of the night- and pull my skirt back on, hoping that
any form of cover-up will help. I exit my room and present myself to my
agitated BFF.
"Lose the skirt," Charlotte commands, herself already clad in just her
leotard. Rolling my eyes, I strip my skirt straight back off and toss it
back into my room. Nervously, I follow my identically-clothed BFF into
the main room, where Charlotte, Krystie, Mary and myself prepare to pull
of our routine. I'm lucky that Charlotte and Mary will be doing most of
the 'heavy lifting'- the cartwheels and so forth- whilst I have a brief
routine with a hula hoop and Krystie with a ribbon. Of course, part of
my routine had to include turning round, bending over and shaking my
booty for the crowd- I think I'm just going to conveniently 'forget'
that part and dance around with the hoop freestyle for a bit. Charlotte
will be pissed off, but it's not like anyone else will care too much,
hopefully.
I maintain my confident pout as I step out into the room of eager
onlookers and pose with my hoop whilst Charlotte and Mary do their
thing. Soon enough, it's my turn, and I run through my moves almost
balletically until it comes to my 'twerking' bit. Feeling Charlotte's
stare burning into the back of my skull, I turn my back to the eager
crowd, but instead of bending over, I follow-through on my plan of
improvising and pull the hoop over my head, hula-hooping for a bit to
the delight of the watching partygoers. Hopefully, if I draw attention
to my hips, it'll be less obvious that there's something jammed in my
backside. Charlotte's unhappy at first, but her glare softens into a
disapproving smile as my hula-hooping wins fans. A mere 20 seconds
later, I've finished my routine and handed over to Krystie.
Once she's done, all we need to do is finish- Mary jumps into Krystie &
Charlotte's arms and is lifted high above their heads whilst I
simultaneously drop into a straddle split in front of them. We pull this
off flawlessly, even if it feels like I'm simultaneously forcing the
plug out and driving it deeper into my backside. Once our applause
subsides, I pull my legs round into a cross-legged position, helping to
keep the plug in place, as Paul skips over and gives me a quick kiss.
"You were awesome," my boyfriend gushes as he wraps his hand around my
waist. My smile at his touch quickly turns to confusion, however, as his
hand slips down to my buttocks. I let out a small yelp as he pushes down
on the flared end of the plug currently nestled in my backside.
"Thought so," Paul says cheekily, flashing me a quick wink. "Our secret,
huh?"
"Yes," I say indignantly, "and it stays that way!"
Needless to say, I'm stuck in the party for the rest of the night,
unable to get away even for a second. Fortunately I have Paul's hand
covering my backside for the duration so there's not even a hint of the
plug showing through my leotard- and whenever Paul excuses himself I
immediately park myself on the nearest chair- but by the time the
partygoers leave just after 1am I'm in near-agony from having the plug
inserted for so long. When Charlotte and Keith decide to put off the
tidying up to the following morning, it's all I can do not to hug the
both of them. I make my excuses and immediately retreat to my bedroom
where I almost cry with relief as I strip off my now sweat-drenched
leotard and slide the plug out of my backside, sterilising it in a cup
of boiling water before spending the next ten minutes sat on the toilet
as I empty myself.
I'm asleep pretty much the second my head hits the pillow, but
unsurprisingly, I'm awakened at 7:45 the following morning by
Charlotte's now-traditional knock on my bedroom door.
"How on Earth can you be up and about at this time after last night?" I
half-shout half-yawn at my BFF as she rouses me from my slumber.
"Shall I take that as a 'no', then?" Charlotte coolly asks.
"Let me put it to you this way- I'm already asleep again," I reply,
driving my head into my pillow.
"We won't be back before you leave and will probably be gone before you
get back," Keith says mercifully softly, "so have a good time at your
parents'."
"Will do," I say, gathering my long blonde hair behind me and dozing off
to sleep again. I'm only asleep for another hour before my alarm clock
rouses me from my slumber. As you may have inferred from Keith, Sunday
is the day I regularly go and visit my parents. Ever since we were
reunited at Christmas we've set aside the day as our 'family time'. Dad
even allowed Paul to attend for the first time a couple of months ago so
he'll be picking me up and driving me there, which is fortunate as it'll
give me the opportunity to talk to him about what happened last night.
In the meantime, I have a morning routine to follow. My shower and pills
are followed by my make-up for the day- a very simple yet classic look,
nothing too overt. I pull on a clean white bra & thong set and a pair of
patterned brown tights, followed with a stretchy knee-length black skirt
and a long-sleeved pink top. I opt for a pair of cute black ballet flats
instead of heels today, figuring that as I won't see Charlotte at any
point I can treat myself to a day out of them. I complete my look with
two gold studs in each ear and the necklace my parents bought me for
Christmas, before grabbing my bag and heading downstairs to where Paul
is already waiting to pick me up.
"Hey," my sexy boyfriend greets me with a lingering kiss as I slide into
the passenger seat of his Toyota. Naturally, before we set off, he
'accidentally' grabs my nylon-covered thigh instead of his handbrake,
spending a few seconds playing with the patterns on my tights.
"Handbrake's closer to you," I tease as Paul tickles my legs through the
tights. "What is it with guys and tights anyway? If I go out bare-legged
or wearing nude hose I don't get half the stares if I'm wearing darker
tights."
"I've told you before," Paul says, releasing his grip on my legs and
driving out of our driveway, "it's the fact that they're in direct
contact with your crotch. If I touch your legs, I'm touching something
that's touching your lady area, so in a roundabout way, I'm touching
your lady area."
"That's not the case if I'm wearing stockings, though," I say, pointing
out the flaw in Paul's logic.
"Are you really arguing that stockings AREN'T sexy?" Paul retorts.
"Meh, I guess you have a point," I say with a smirk as we pull up to a
red light and Paul grabs my knee again.
"Is that as good for you as it is for me?" Paul asks in a deep faux-
American voice.
"Yes," I breathe orgasmically in an equally fake American accent, "yes!"
"Okay, that's enough remote third base for now," Paul says, gradually
drifting his accent back to normal. Taking a deep breath, I broach the
topic of our 'encounter' last night.
"On the topic of sex," I begin hesitantly, "what we-"
"Did last night?" Paul finishes my sentence. "You said at the time you
wanted more. And I'm up for that if you are, but I'm sensing this is
about more than just uncovered body parts, right?"
"Yeah," I say, trying to keep my confused emotions in check. "I mean it-
I saw it as a new level for our relationship."
"I... kinda did too," Paul says. Naturally, there's one word in that
sentence that stands out above of all the rest.
"'Kinda'?" I ask, trying to hide the disappointment in my voice.
"Okay, okay, it was a new level," Paul says, "but- and I know you want
me to be honest- it wasn't as big a step-up as, say, our first holiday
together."
"You do know you're the only guy I've ever had sex with, right?" I ask
hesitantly, trying to get Paul to realise the importance of what I'm
saying.
"I haven't forgotten," Paul responds quietly.
"...And I know I'm not the only girl you've ever had sex with," I add,
sparing Paul the discomfort of having to skirt around the topic. "Or
unprotected sex, for that matter."
"What happened in the past doesn't matter," Paul says firmly. "You're
the only girl I want to be with. End of." I simply smile at the
handsome, straightforward man.
"Thank you," I whisper quietly. "I just- I guess I just wanted you to
know what a big deal it was for me." Paul simply smiles at me as we
slowly make our way through London's streets to my parents' house.
"Jamie!" Mum greets me with a wide grin and a big hug as she answers the
door. "I love your tights!"
"Thanks!" I reply with an equally wide grin as Dad gives me his
customary uncomfortable virtually-no-contact hug as ushers myself and
Paul into the living room, where we quickly park ourselves on the sofa.
"You see? I learned from last time," I joke at mum, waving my feet at
her, "no stiletto marks in your carpets!"
"I was just joking," Mum says as she fetches cups of tea through from
the kitchen, which Paul & I gratefully accept.
"Mr Bu-Travis," Paul says, jokingly 'forgetting' my birth surname in an
always-successful attempt to irritate my father, "have you been
following the games?"
"Some of it," dad answers, barely hiding his irritation at Paul's
deliberate faux pas. "I watched that Farah kid's finals. Very
impressive. ...And immediately she's reached for her phone," dad
chastises me as I instinctively pull my iPhone out of my handbag.
"You're talking about sport," I remind the two most important men in my
life. "What did you expect to happen?" Dad simply sighs and continues
his conversation with Paul.
"You watching the closing ceremony tonight?" Dad asks whilst I busy
myself with Facebook and Twitter.
"Of course," Paul answers with a grin. "Charlotte and her boyfriend have
got tickets, naturally, so it'll just be me and Jamie on the sofa at
home." I grin slightly as I sense dad bristle at the thought of me and
Paul spending time alone with each other.
"You're welcome to watch it here," dad inevitably offers, causing my
grin to widen further.
"Thanks," Paul says with a knowing grin of his own, "but we both have to
be up early for work tomorrow so it'd kinda be more convenient to watch
it at home."
"Very well," dad concedes frustratedly.
The rest of the dinner goes as it always does- talk about work and
college, mum wanting to know when my next ballet recital will be (the
photo I mentioned earlier, of me in my tutu, takes pride of place on my
parents' mantlepiece as well), dad asking about university, the same
conversations we've had every Sunday for months. Paul and I eventually
depart, our bellies full, at 6pm. We arrive back home just in time for
the closing ceremony and, as we said we would, spend the evening cuddled
up together on the sofa watching it like an old married couple. Sadly,
Paul has to go back to his own apartment just after the end so I'm left
to climb into bed on my own, where I quickly fall into a deep sleep.
My alarm clock wakes me up at 7:45AM, as is the norm for a work day, and
I quickly and quietly run through my morning routine of showering,
taking my pills, applying my make-up and perfume and putting on my
jewellery. For today's underwear I choose a sexy black lace bra, thong
and suspender belt set, and I roll a pair of sheer black stockings up my
legs, grinning through dark pink lips as I clip the suspenders through
their lacy tops. After touching up my manicure with some clear nail
polish, I pull on a plain black blouse, followed by a sexy tight grey
skirt suit. The jacket is of course fitted, and the skirt is nice and
clingy (if you look REALLY closely, you can just make out the outline of
my suspenders) and comes to just above my knee, but has a high vent at
the back that, if my stride is too wide, exposes a tiny amount of my
stocking tops- hence why I love it so much! After pulling on a pair of
ballet flats (for driving in) and grabbing a handbag and a pair of 5"
stilettos to match my outfit, I head downstairs into my car and drive
off toward another day at work.
As I drive into central London, I muse to myself how strange it is to be
looking forward to actually going to work and not have any more
exhausting parties ahead of me, when my eye is drawn to a very familiar
red estate car head in the opposite direction to me. That looks a little
like Ellen's car, I muse to myself as I glance over at the driver of the
car. And that looks a little like Ellen, I confusedly wonder as I return
my attention to the road. I've barely got a quarter of a mile from home,
so it can't just be coincidence that our ballet tutor is heading towards
our house- except neither Charlotte nor myself have a lesson today.
Still confused about Ellen's presence near our house, I park up in my
regular parking space and change my flats for my heels, but before I
head into the office I detour via the nearest convenience store and buy
a box of large tampons. Even though I couldn't be mistaken for anything
other than 100% female and even though I'm using a self-service
checkout, I'm still self-conscious about placing the distinctive box in
the shopping bag and taking it into the office with me. Fortunately, I'm
able to stash it in my drawer before Joshua can see it.
Morning at work starts as it always has- paperwork, phone calls and
filing, but just after 11 Joshua surprises me.
"Jamie!" Joshua calls happily from his office. "I'm heading out for a
meeting! Tell anyone who calls I'll call them back tomorrow!" This
confuses me greatly- there's nothing in his diary for today and usually

"Then how about the second thing?" Paul asks as he starts to lift the
hem of my skirt.
"...Here in the office?" I ask hesitantly, holding off Paul's advance.
"I have it on good authority that we'll be alone for at least an hour,"
my smug boyfriend announces, pulling out his phone and showing me a text
message from a very familiar number.
Paul Gould! I'm going to be out of the office until 1300. Your
girlfriend is lonely. Get here asap.
I roll my eyes at Joshua's writing and turn my attention back to the
sexy young man in front of me.
"I have the best boss of all time," I say warmly. "AND
