13. The dancer is hooked; and skint!
While his father was being toyed with by Ms Thornbury, Matthew was
spending another day with the dance troop. He still started the day red
faced, appearing in front of all the girls in the blue leotard, black
tights, ballet slippers and the flimsy skirt. He still needed the skirt,
his body already half aroused from his enforced underwear regime.
However, slipping into the leotard made him fully extend and the clear
outline of his penis could be seen. The addition of the flimsy skirt made
him look and feel girly but was less embarrassing than showing everyone
how excited he was.
Olivia was all smiles when they greeted each other that morning, Matthew
was the same if not a little more muted. They chatted at every
opportunity they had, Olivia tended to lead the discussion. Matthew of
course was perhaps not so familiar with the feminine subjects but was
eager to interact with her. He could not get away from the fact that he
found her attractive, knowing that dressed as he was it would be
impossible. She could never see him as boyfriend material.
Matthew continued to work hard, Ms Short was a difficult woman to please
but he did get nods of approval at times which gave him heart and spurred
him on. He would constantly catch glimpses of himself in the mirror of
the studio. He mostly ignored it paying more attention to Ms Short but
every now and then he would see himself moving gracefully and with a
feminine flamboyance. Every detail of how he should dance was drilled
into him by his instructor. He knew he was covering for an absent girl
and he knew the theatre moto 'Whatever it takes' so he kept to his task.
Twice on his walk home he realised how he was walking, correcting himself
then gragually he slipped back. Small narrow strides and an arm out and
up at his side. He cringed inside everytime he caught himself acting like
this. He would look around to see if anyone was watching him. He was
trying hard to act like a normal young man but his body just kept
adopting the feminine gait.
At Ms Thornbury's house things would get more stressful for Matthew.
"Hello Matilda," she greeting him with a smile. She watched him
practically sashay up the steps into the hall.
"Hello Ms Thornbury."
"Have you had a good day?" she asked.
"Yes, it was ok. Hard work but it was ok," he replied.
"Oh good, now before you go scampering upstairs. Stand there, lift your
arms up above your head," she instructed as she closed the front door.
He did so very slowly, he could feel his jeans barely gripping his hips.
"Lift your arms higher Matilda."
He moved his arms up a couple of inches.
"Higher Matilda, come on."
Again he moved his arms up a little further. He felt and she watched as
his jeans slipped from his waist to his knees.
"Kick your trainers off and step out of your jeans please Matilda."
He did so slowly "Please, Ms Thornbury can you let me keep them. I will
buy some new jeans tommorrow." He remebered that he should have had his
salary paid into his account. He had been so reliant on Ms Thornbury that
he had forgotten all about his pay.
"I did tell you Matilda, once those jeans fell from your hips I would put
them in the bin. And that is just what I will do."
As he stepped out of them, just bare black nyloned legs showing with the
cream satin of his thong visible through them. "Please Ms Thornbury, this
isn't fair. What will I wear?" his voice becoming more strained as his
anxiety grew.
"Well that is simple my little sissy girl......whatever I tell you to
wear."
"Please Ms Thornbury, please......I don't want to.....to wear ladies
things in public."
She ignored his pleading. "Take off your jacket Matilda."
He did as instructed, hung it on the coat stand.
"Ms Thornbury?" he questioned. He wanted her to answer him.
"Take off your t-shirt Matilda." He again did as asked. She took it from
him and she then picked up the jeans and trainers.
"Go upstairs to your room Matilda." And she walked through to the
kitchen.
Matthew did as he was told, he was almost in tears from worry. He sat on
his bed in just his thong and tights.
Ms Thornbury appeared holding some clothing. She stepped over to his bed
and placed the neat bundle to one side. She sat down next to him.
"Matilda, you made a fuss over your nails being varnished. Has anyone
said anything about them?
"Yes," he replied softly.
"Oh, and what did whoever it was say?" she enquired.
"It was one of the dancers, Olivia. She said she liked them."
"Well there you go, all that panicking and worrying over nothing" she
said.
"I suppose," he again said softly.
"So when I give you some different clothing to wear in the morning you
will not worry or panick or get flustered because nothing bad will
happen."
"But Ms Thornbury, my nails are a small thing, less noticable than
clothing," his voice almost whinning. He was clearly stressed at the
prospect.
"Think about what I have said, trust me. Nothing bad will happen."
Matthew just looked down at his feet.
"Now let's get you dressed." And she picked up a cream bra and handed it
to him.
Without saying a word his slipped his arms through the straps and hooked
it behind his back. He stood without prompting to fetch the breast forms
and put them into the cups.
"You do your make up and I'll be back in a minute," she said and left the
room.
Matthew still under a cloud applied his cosmetics. Loving his lipstick as
it spread across his lips. He was admiring himself in the mirror,
thinking about how he might do it differently as Ms Thornbury returned.
He turned to see her, she had the long black boots he liked. He was
already aroused from applying his lipstick but the sight of the boots
sent a thrill through him.
He was handed a blouse, the white material very thin and it had a lace
peter pan collar. An inch of lace edging at the end of each long sleeve.
The blouse secured at the back of the neck. Some shorts were next, it had
a single front button fastener. He slipped his feet into them and pulled
them up. The waist came up above his hips and he secured the button. The
legs were very short but had an inch and a half of scallopped lace around
each leg opening. Ms Thornbury helped him into the boots and he stood to
look at himself in the mirror. He was instantly turned on, his penis hard
and forcing its way upwards to make an obvious bulge. He soaked up his
image, long black high heeled boots lead his eyes to the black nyloned
thighs. The lacey shorts and blouse where he could clearly see the lace
finish and straps of his bra, then up to his made up face. He could not
help but bend his knee in, and he went to touch himself.
"No Matilda," she said sharply.
Her prevention only seemed to make him twitch. The denial of a touch.
Thoughts again turned to his hair, the one obvious thing that ruined the
illusion. Could he possibly want to change his hair style, that would be
very obvious and very public. That would make a statement to everyone he
passed. He couldn't do that he decided.
He had forgotten for the moment about what he would be wearing to work
tomorrow. Right now the pleasure won out and all he wanted to do was look
at his reflection and masterbate.
"You like?" Ms Thornbury asked.
Without taking his eyes of the mirror he replied softly, "I love."
She had him so hooked and she knew it.
She had another little surprise for him. She collected his lipstick fron
the dressing table. Then she produced a white handbag. It had a square
base that tapered in from each side and front to back. The front had a
large bow attached in the same creamy white fabric. Two handles were
stitched onto each side of the bag.
She opened the bag, popped the lipstick inside and handed the bag to him.
Without being asked he slipped his right arm through the handles and held
it at the crook of his elbow.
"That my dear sissy Matilda is your very own handbag. You will keep it
with you at all times. Is that clear."
"Yes Ms Thornbury."
He looked again at his image, now with the bag on his arm. 'Oh my god,
you are such a little sissy' his own mind told him. It was such a thrill,
he just couldn't help himself.
"Come along Matilda."
With a flushed red face he tottered after his landlady carrying his new
bag.
Later that evening with their meal eaten and the kitchen clean and tidy
Matthew was asked to sit with Ms Thornbury in the dining room.
"Right Matilda, as you reminded me earlier their is the matter of paying
your board."
"Of Course Ms Thornbury."
"As was initially agreed, it is ?60 per week. Due to the pay dates we
agreed that you would would pay monthly in line with you pay date, two
weeks behind and two weeks up front. Unless of course it is a five week
month."
"Yes Ms Thornbury. I will withdraw your money next time I am in town."
"Not so fast Matilda, I had not finished."
"Oh, sorry Ms Thornbury."
"There is also the matter of the items of clothing you have been
wearing." There was a puzzled look on Matthews face.
"I am not a charity Matilda, you have a number of clothing items that
have been purchased on your behalf," she handed Matthew a sheet of paper
with a list of items and the value against each one. He scanned over the
list, Underwear, Bra, Playsuit, trousers black, Jumpsuit, Shorts, Blouse,
Shoes, Boots amongst others. At the bottom a total of ?226.29.
"In total Matilda you owe me ?466.29."
"But Ms Thornbury, I had no idea you.........I mean that I....."
"Oh come now Matilda, did you really think that all of your nice things
came free of charge?"
"Well err no, but I thought perhaps they were yours?" he replied.
"Oh dear Matilda, can you really imagine me wearing those darling little
shorts you have on?"
Matthew looked down at the table and shook his head.
"Ms Thornbury, I will not have enough money in my account to pay all of
that back to you. Without checking I think I should have ?310. If you
take all of that then I will not be able to buy a new pair of jeans."
"Well Matilda, I expect you to pay me back all that you can," she took
the sheet of paper back from him and did a quick calculation.
"If you pay me ?310 then you will still owe ?156.29."
"But Ms Thornbury I wanted to get a new pair of jeans," he said
pleadingly.
"Oh but Matilda, you do not need to worry about that. I have already got
you some new trousers."
"Oh,, I see. What are they like Ms Thornbury?"
"They are black and plain, there is no need to worry," she said
reassuringly.
Matthew's worries eased a little but still the anxiety was there. Matthew
faced another four weeks without any money and he still owed money to his
landlady.
Matthews evening did not finish quite as he hoped, he was sent to bed
without his sexual release. Told quite clearly that he was not to touch
himself.
He lay in bed, a purple satin nightdress with thin shoulder straps. Lace
edging across the bust and around the mid thigh hem. His head full of
thoughts once more, 'what would he be wearing to work?' His finances and
his growing desire to dress femininly. The thrill it gave him, the way it
made him feel. If these feelings grew much more he wondered if he would
ever want to dress masculine again. That in itself made him feel more
anxious, but he could not help himself.
14. Life after jeans.
Ms Thornbury was sat on his bed when he returned from the bathroom the
following morning. He was nervous, subdued at the prospect of life after
jeans.
"Don't look so worried Matilda, I told you to trust me."
He slipped out of his night dress and Ms Thornbury handed him a yellow
lace thong. He slipped his feet into them and worked them up and into
position. She then handed him a matching bra.
"Please Ms Thornbury, not to work."
"It will be covered Matilda, what is the problem?"
"Really.......do I have to?" he whinned.
"Matilda, if you do not put that bra on this instant then I will exchange
the black trousers for something a little more .........feminine." She
had a non nonsense look on her face.
Reluctantly he slipped his arms through the straps and hooked it behind.
'The lace design is pretty' he thought.
Ms Thornbury then produced two small flatish looking breast forms. "put
them in Matilda," she instructed.
He looked at her, his eyes pleading with her.
"They are only little Matilda, they will not show."
With trepidation he slipped them into place. They left the cups two
thirds empty and they fell forward a little.
"Here you go." And Ms Thornbury handed him a pair of nude tights.
He wondered why she had changed from giving him black. His love for the
clingy soft mesh was apparent as he eagerly put them on. The semi arousal
almost instant.
She then handed him a yellow t-shirt, it looked too small he thought.
"I have t-shirts of my own Ms Thornbury," he challenged.
"Yes, indeed you do Matilda. But none of them are suitable so you will
not be wearing them," she said with a tone of finality.
He did not like where this was going, but felt he had no choice. She was
insistant and he knew the outcome when she put her foot down. He pulled
the almost pastel yellow top over his head. He noted how stretchy the
material was. He pushed his arms into the sleeves then pulled the garment
down. Adjusting it he noted the sleeves stopped at mid forearm, the neck
scooped from one shoulder to the other in a wide sweep. It only just
covered the bra straps on his shoulders and the cups on his chest. His
fears were realised, this was in no way a gender neutral t-shirt. It was
cut clearly in a feminine style.
He trembled as he took the black trousers, these were a thick stretchy
material and as he pulled them up and over his tights they hugged every
single part of him. The waist came up high to meet the yellow top and the
legs stopped just above his ankles. He was silent, close to tears, and
just looked at the floor.
Ms Thornbury then gave him a pair of canvas slip on shoes, they were
black with a white trim.
"Go on, step into them," she urged in a calm manor.
She could see and feel his anxiety at what she had imposed on him.
"Matilda, you now have a full set of proper underwear. This is what a
sissy wears every day, understand. This is what you will wear every day."
Matthew nodded still looking down.
"Now, tell me what worries you Matilda," she asked showing more
compassion than normal.
"All of it Ms Thornbury," his voice shaking. "Please......don't make me
go out like this," he pleaded.
"When you put your jacket on, will anyone see your top?"
Matthew shook his head.
"So if nobody can see your top, nobody can tell if you are wearing a
bra."
Matthew nodded his acceptance of her statement.
"I gave you nude tights, so unless anyone looks very closely they will
not notice your ankles. It will just look like you have gone sock free."
He shrugged his shoulders. He could see her point but was not entirely
convinced.
"Well then my dear Matilda, I think you should be on your way."
With his face red he trudged downstairs, put on his jacket and picked up
his dance kit.
"Before you leave Matilda."
He turned to look at her.
"Don'forget the money you owe me."
"Of course, let me get my wallet." And went to go back up to his room.
"No need Matilda, I have what you need right here." And she handed him a
black purse with a metal ball clasp "your bank cards are in there."
His mouth fell open, she had removed the contents of his wallet and put
it into a ladies purse.
Without another word he took the purse and slipped it into his kit bag
and left the house. His walk to the theatre was uneventful but he could
not help but keep looking round to see if anyone was paying him any
attention. To his great relief there was nothing to worry about.
So consumed with his new items of dress he neglected to even think about
his pink painted nails and his walk. He practically minced his way to
work with his hand up at his side.
15. Cherry gets a surprise call.
Ms Thornbury picked up the phone and dialed. Sitting on a dining room
chair using one hand to smooth the knee length black skirt under her. No
answer came, she cancelled the call and thought for a second. She must be
at work, the library. She went to her laptop that she kept in the cabinet
in the spare room. She searched the internet, there was only one library
in Matthew's home town, that made it easy. Back in the dining room she
dialed once again while looking out of the bay window.
"Ah good morning, would it be possible to talk to Cherry, Cherry
Goodwilly?"
"Errmm yes, let me find her for you."
"Thank you so much," she said politely.
She continued to stare out of the window while waiting.
"Hello, how can I help?" came a voice.
"Oh Hello, is that Cherry?"
"Yes, can I ask who's calling?"
"Yes of course I'm sorry. It's Constance Thornbury, I have your son
staying with me."
"Oh,...is everything ok, he's not in trouble is he?" she asked with a
little panic in her voice.
"Don't worry Cherry, everything is fine," she calmed her.
"Good, I'm sorry, you caught me a bit offguard and I thought the worst
for a second or two."
"Not a problem, don't worry. Look I was thinking, when your husband
visitied he explained that you had concerns that Matthew was ok. And of
course your husband did I assume convey back to you that all was fine."
"Oh yes, he did," she chipped in.
"Good, well I was thinking that perhaps I should invite you over to
visit. You can see where your son is staying. We can have lunch, you know
I could really do with the company as I am alone almost every day and I
would just love to meet you. What do you say?"
"Oh errr well like I said you caught me offguard."
"You can come during week can you?" she pressed.
"Well yes, Thursdays the library is closed," she had said that it was
possible not meaning to actually accept the invite."
"Excellent, I'm so glad. This Thursday then, I'm looking forward to it
already."
"Y..yes o k" Cherry replied. She was feeling swept away with the
conversation.
"Let me know what time you are likely to get here."
"Erm yes of course."
"Bye for now, bye."
"Bye."
Ms Thornbury hung up the phone. Getting her to visit was the first hurdle
and it looked like she had succeeded.
Malcolm sat down at the table in his kitchen diner, Cherry put a plate in
front of him and then sat down opposite to eat. They had almost finished
when Cherry spoke.
"I had a surprise phone call today."
"Oh," Malcolm said looking at her as if asking who it was. He expected a
relative that they don't see often or something similar.
"Constance Thornbury," she said.
"WHAT.....did she want?" Malcolm said with a bit too much surprise in his
voice, but he quickly adjusted his tone.
"She has invited me to go and visit."
"Why?"
"Well she said that you had explained that I was worried and that I could
see things for myself and she also said she would love to meet me and
would like the companionship."
"That's a long way to go for a social visit, I assume you declined."
"Well no actually, I didn't get much chance to consider it and before I
knew it I had agreed to go."
"REALLY, is that really neccesary?" Malcolm sighed. He was a little
unnerved at this turn of events. He knew Constance Thornbury was a
manipulative woman. He was concerned about his wife going. How could he
possibly say anything to put her off? If he did say something she would
know something was up and would start digging until she found out. He
didn't want that, it would break her heart and potentially end their
realtionship. He wondered what she was up to, he doubted any good would
come from it.
"Well it's arranged now. Can you drop me at the station on Thursday
morning on your way to the office?"
"Yes, if that's what you want," he said. He knew there was nothing he
could do now to prevent it.
16. Matthew could not help taking another step.
Matthew had just finished another day in the dance studio, he was just
changing back into his yellow top and leggings but still smiling. He
loved spending time with Olivia, it made all the troubles go away.
On the way home he stopped at an ATM to withdraw his money. He stood and
fumbled with his purse to find the right bank card and made the
withdrawl. Going home did not seem quite so nerve wracking, he just
walked and ignored everyone else and before he knew it he was back at the
house.
Matthew was greeted as usual at the front door by Ms Thornbury. She
looked smart in a lavender silk top and black pencil skirt.
"Let me have your kit, then upstairs and bathe please Matilda."
Matthew looked at her for a moment "Yes, Ms Thornbury," her control over
his life was sometimes stifling. It had it's good points he had to admit,
but it was relentless.
Having bathed and patted himself dry he returned to his room. On his bed
were white knickers, a matching bra and sheer white tights. He dressed in
his clean underwear, putting the full breast forms in the bra then went
on to do his cosmetics. Ms Thornbury stood in the doorway to his room and
watched him until he had finished.
"Wait there Tilly." And she walked off to her room and a few seconds
later she appeared once again in the doorway.
"What do you think?" she asked him.
He stared at the garment draped over the hanger. Slowly a smile spread
across his face, it mixed with a look of desire. He wanted to wear it, no
he needed to wear it. There was no fear in this next step, only
excitement.
The dress was ivory, the bodice was shaped like a corset but the lace
covering went right up to the neck and over the shoulders to cap sleeves.
The skirt was made up of an underlayer of satin then three layers of
tulle making it stand out each side. A decorative bow was attached to the
front of the waist with tails that hung down to the hem of the skirt
which would come to about mid to upper thigh.
"Well?" she asked him again.
"It's.......It's beautiful Ms Thornbury," he stated.
"Yes, it is very pretty," she agreed with him.
"Can I........can I please wear it?" he asked. Asking was not that
difficult but he still felt shame at wanting to wear a dress.
She stepped over to him and he got to his feet. She unzipped the back
then unhooked the hanger and held it open for him to step into. The
tickle of the material as it was pulled up sent shivers of delight up his
spine. With his arms through the sleeves she zipped up the back and he
thought he was in heaven. He rocked his hips from side to side and
watched and felt the skirt swirl across his thighs. Ms Thornbury appeared
at his feet with the white pumps and he stepped into them. He looked at
himself in the mirror, all smiles. Then swishing his skirts about his
legs and doing a twirl admiring his reflection. He was captivated. At
this point he did not even realise how hard he was. Hidden under the
skirt was a proud bulge.
He was also not aware that Ms Thornbury watched from the side with the
camera. She was taking a short video of him as he enjoyed his first
dress. She had finished and had to take his hand and lead him away from
the mirror.
"Pick up your handbag Matilda."
He did as asked and they made their way downstairs for dinner. His walk
and manner seamingly emphasised by the dress.
Their evening was otherwise uneventful with Matthew delighting in the new
sensations of wearing a dress. Ms Thornbury advised him on smoothing his
skirt under when sitting and making sure he kept his legs together. He
did his best to learn all the new little instructions, he needed to
remember them as they were not second nature to him.
17. Tilly to be kept on her toes.
The following morning Ms Thornbury kept Matthew on the new phase of
dress. White lace embelished knickers and bra. The small breast forms
were added and nude tights followed. With his black leggings she had put
out a white blouse. It was long sleeved with buttons at the cuffs and up
the front like a mans shirt. The folded over collar also much the same as
a mans shirt but hanging from the collar was the feminine touch. A large
bow in the same material spread across the chest with the loops almost
reaching each armpit. The loop material was about four inches wide with
two even wider tails that fell to the waist. Matthew did not protest,
there was little point as he knew he would not win an argument with her.
The previous day he had no problems as the top was concealed out in
public by his jacket.
His walk to the theatre was again uneventful, he had stopped paying
attention to the way he walked. His stride had started to lengthen a
little but it was still quite short and his arm and hand gestures still
quite clearly added to his swishy gait.
At the end of another tiring day in the studio Ms Short callled a halt to
proceedings.
"Ok girls listen up." And she clapped her hands to get their full
attention.
"I expect you are now all very bored of the same routine and I think we
are just about there with it so well done to all of you."
Ms Short looked straight at Matthew with a little smile as she said this.
"Tomorrow we will start work on the other routine, this one involves
heels so make sure you bring them in with you. Now off you go and I'll
see you in the morning."
Matthew was about to say something to his instructor when she crooked her
finger and gestured for him to join her. He walked over as the girls all
filtered out to get changed.
"I know you don't have the heels Matthew. Now that I am confident you can
handle it we will invest in getting you what you need. Now dancing in
heels can be hard on your feet and quite painful if the shoes are not
right for you. So in the morning I will take you to Randles again and we
can get you fixed up." She smiled at him.
"Oh right, ok Ms Short, thank you."
"That's quite alright my dear, you are doing a fantastic job. Like before
I will meet you at the front of the theatre at 8:30 in the morning."
"Yes Ms Short, thank you. See you in the morning." And he went to get
changed and head home.
Back at the house Matthew had showered, donned clean white satin knickers
and then put the nude tights and the lacey white bra back on. The full
breast forms in place and he sat and did his make up.
"Put the blouse back on Matthew, I have a lovely skirt for you," she said
as she left his room.
He did as asked, looking down at the subtle mounds of the bra under the
large flouncy bow.
"Here we are," she pronounced as she came back in.
She had him step into the flared skirt. She pulled it up for him tucking
the blouse into the waist band then fastening the button at the back. He
looked down at himself again, the blouse now pulled in at his waist made
the globes of the bra more obvious. He could clearly see the lace
embelishments through the material. Beyond that his feet had dissapeared
under the view of the flared skirt. He touched the black velvet, it was
super soft. The hem was edged in a two inch band of white lace and rested
on a net underskirt making it flare out about twelve inches from his
legs. He could feel the underskirt brushing against his nylon covered
thighs.
"Now, I'll give you a choice Matilda. You can have these strappy black
heels or the long boots that I know you love?"
She thought It was time to start introducing him to making choices rather
than being dictated to. This was just the beginning of another learning
curve that she would put him through.
He did love the boots, they made him feel so very sexy. But then the
heels she held in her hands, he had not worn them before and they did
look pretty. He tried to image how they would look and gave in to the
temptation of something new.
"Can I please try the strappy heels Ms Thornbury?" he asked.
"Of course, sit on the bed and I will help you."
He remembered to brush the undeside of the skirt before sitting and Ms
Thornbury knelt in front of him. One at a time she slipped his feet into
the heels and fastened the straps and buckles around his ankles. He stood
up, the moderate two and a half inch heels no longer caused him any
problems. As was habbit now he stepped in front of the mirror and once
again he marvelled at yet another feminine look that thrilled him and
excited him as he stared. He swished his hips from side to side admiring
his long sleek legs. The girly feelings flowing through his body and
mind. The inroduction of skirts gave him a completely new set of
feelings. Not only were his legs exposed but it felt like he was less
protected by his clothing, more vulnerable. Not an unpleasant feeling,
one that made him feel more girly, more feminine. Still he could not
fathom why he felt the way he did, but feel it he did and he loved it.
Although his penis strained solidly against his satin underwear, it was
now only part of the attaction. Ms Thornbury had started to restrict his
sexual stimulation, this made it much easier for him to get excited at
the slightest thing.
She knew he was tempted to play with himself, and she had warned him on
several occasions to behave himself or risk an unpleasant punishment. He
knew better than to cross his landlady and had managed to resist the
urges he felt.
Matthew was sad and dissapointed when it came to bedtime. He so loved the
skirt that he didn't want to take it off. As he lay in bed his thoughts
were now opening up to all manor of skirts and dresses that he might like
to wear. How some would make him look sexy or particularly feminine. The
possibilites seemed endless with ladies clothing. Finally he drifted off.
Another day, another new top. But the positive feeling was with him, he
was making Ms Short happy and he was happy to have a friend in Olivia.
The top somehow seemed less important now.
Todays underwear was bright red, sensual satin and lace as always. He
dressed in the thong and bra, inserted the small breast forms then
eagerly slipped his feet in the black tights. He added his leggings and
called out to Ms Thornbury.
"What am I to wear today Ms Thornbury?"
He heard her reply from her own room, "Be with you in just a minute
Matilda."
She walked into his room with a red top on a hanger.
She looked well groomed this morning. Her hair was brushed neatly and
gathered low behind her head and the long tresses dropped onto the front
of her right shoulder. She wore make up again, not as severe looking as
last time. It was more understated and highlighted her natural looks. Her
dress was black with large white print flowers across it. The neckline
was square cut but came down a long way exposing the tops of her
impressive bossom. The sleeves came down to jusy above her elbows and she
wore a pendant necklace he had not seen before that nestled into her
clevage seemingly drawing more attention to it. Black nylons and black
court shoes finished the elegant feminine look.
Todays top had a gathered look. The neck was wide and elasticated. She
pulled it from the hanger and handed it to Matthew. He slipped his head
and arms in and pulled in down into place. Ms Thornbury stepped forward
and adjusted the elasticated neck by pulling each side down off of his
shoulders. The neck line effectively straight across his arms and chest
leaving his red bra straps exposed over his shoulders. The short sleeves
just half covering his biceps.
"There, that is how you wear it," she said and gave him a smile.
Very girly he thought to himself, kind of happy but still not entirely
confident of going out in such a feminine item, despite being covered by
his jacket.
As he added his canvas slip on shoes he realised he had black tights on,
not the nude he had been wearing. The black would be obvious!!
"Ms Thornbury, please. Why have you given me black tights? They will be
visible." He sounded like a child that had been given greens with his
dinner.
"Sorry Matilda, all of your nude tights are dirty and need to be
laundered."
"Is there nothing we can do, please?" He could not think.
"It is time you were on your way Matilda, get going or you will be late."
And she ushered him towards the front door.
He picked up his dance kit and with his head bowed he opened the front
door and stepped outside. He steeled himself and walked with quick steps
and keeping his head down. More self conscious than ever as he walked,
the feeling of the top hugging the side of his arms almost made it feel
like it was falling off.
As he arrived at the theatre he remembered that he was to meet Ms Short
at the front entrance. He waited almost ten minutes as people walked by.
He felt exposed, on show to everyone that passed yet nobody paid him any
attention.
"Good morning Matthew," Ms Short greeted him as she came out onto the
street.
"Morning Ms Short." And they both started to walk towards Randles shop.
After a minute or so Ms Short spoke up.
"I have to say Matthew, I have been very impressed with you. You have
learnt and adapted very quickly to my demands. I know I can be very
demanding but sometimes it is needed. Your quick progress has helped the
whole group move onto our second routine in good time. It is all down to
your great attitude and hard work."
"Well, thank you Ms Short. I have tried my best," he said smiling. He
could not help feeling good at her praise.
"Well all I ask is that you keep it up."
At just after 9am they arrived at the shop, Ms Short opened the door and
walked in with Matthew two steps behind her.
Jean the bespecticled lady was behind the glass counter tending to a
rather large man. She looked up as they entered.
"I'll be with you shortly Penny, let me take care of this gentleman."
"Of course Jean," she replied.
Ms Short turned to Matthew, "Come with me." And she lead the way to the
far right of the store. There was three square padded stools in a row and
the surrounding two walls were covered in wooden shelving most of which
held shoe boxes.
"Take your jacket off Matthew," Ms Short asked him.
He froze, he was not expecting to be asked that.
"I'm ok thank you Ms Short," he replied as he watched Ms Short remove her
flimsy scarf.
"Matthew, I did not ask if you were ok. I asked you as it is polite," she
looked him in the eye. Her look was not quite stern but serious. "Now,
take off your jacket and sit down on the stool," she instructed.
He could feel the heat rise up through his whole head. He felt like he
must be glowing red. There was nothing he could do but comply.
Slowly and reluctantly he unzipped his jacket and slipped it off his
shoulders and arms.
"Oh how lovely, such a pretty top," Ms Short gushed quite loadly.
Both Jean and the male customer looked round, both smiled at him and he
looked down away from their gaze. Accutely embarrassed he stood there in
the red peasant top, his bra straps showing. His slender nyloned ankles
clearly visible. The realisation that his image was almost exclusively
feminine. The pink nails that he had pretty much stopped being concerned
over and his entire outfit was of a female. His hair and face must give
him away he assumed. He could not look at anyone, he zoned out for a few
moments.
"Bye now Gareth," Jean said to the large man.
"Bye Mrs Randle," he said in a deep voice. He then tured to Ms Short and
Matthew. "Bye ladies," he added.
"Bye," Ms Short said. There was a few seconds of silence as he reached
the door.
"Matthew, please don't be rude. Say goodbye to the gentleman."
How bad could this get, she called him by his male name, dressed as he
was!. It must have been obvious.
"Goodbye.....sir," he managed to almost squeek. His face still red.
The man smiled back and opened the door and left.
"So Penny, how can I help you this morning?" she had appeared at their
side.
"We need T-strap dance shoes for Matthew please," Ms Short replied. "Sit
down Matthew," she repeated.
"Can you remove your shoes please," asked Jean.
Matthew did as asked. He looked down at the black nylon covered feet, the
pink nails visible through the material.
Jean knelt in front of him and with a simple tape measure took
measurements from both of his feet. It was a nice feeling to have her
fingers run over the nylon.
The lady got back to her feet and scanned across the boxes high on the
side wall. She then fetched a small set of steps climbed up and
retrieved a box from high up. Kneeling down at his feet once again she
took the lid from the box, pulled back the paper and removed a black
shoe. The heel was aprox two and a half inches high and a little wider
than a stilletto at the base. The whole foot was ennclosed with a strap
running up the center with a loop that held the buckle strap that went
across the foot. The second shoe was removed from the box. He then had
both shoes fitted onto his feet and buckled. Jean tugged and moved the
shoe about then undid both shoes and removed them. Without saying a word
she got to her feet and walked back to the glass counter and rummaged
around underneath. Retunring a moment later she opened a cellophane
packet and removed two sole shaped items and fittem them into each shoe.
"These will help the soles of your feet cope with the demands of
dancing," Jean explained.
She then put the shoes back on his feet and fastened the buckles. Again
she tugged and pulled at them.
"Stand up please," Jean asked.
Matthew did as asked. These actually felt quite comfortable. He could
feel extra padding under the heels and balls of his feet. Walking along
then back again he stopped.
"Do they feel comfortable?" Jean asked.
"Yes, I think they are a good fit," he replied.
"Make sure you are happy with them, it will be too late to complain
later," Ms Short added.
Matthew walked up and down again "I can't feel anything bad, they are
comfortable."
"Very well, take them off and I will box them back up for you," Jean
said.
"Oh no need to box them Jean, he'll be wearing them in less than 30
minutes. Just pop them in your kit bag Matthew." And she went to the
counter to pay Jean.
They arrived back at the theatre, Ms Short went directly into the studio
to catch up with the girls while Matthew headed for the changing room.
His face now a little less red. He changed into the black dance tights,
the blue leotard then the flimsy white tulle skirt. Finally he added the
new heels to his feet. He noted that he could actually see the shape of
his bra under the leotard. Small mounds from the little breast forms he
was made to wear.
Olivia beamed a big smile at him as he joined the rest of the group and
the hard work started once again.
18. Constance takes her 'Cherry'.
Malcolm pulled the car into the station drop off point and applied the
hand break. Leaning over he gave his wife a peck on the cheek.
"Hope you have a good day," in his head he was saying stay safe and be on
your guard. He wished she was not going but could do nothing to prevent
it.
"I'm sure it will be fine, see you later." And she opened the door and
stepped out onto the pavement.
They waved at each other, he pulled away as she walked toward the station
entrance.
In contrast to Constance Thornbury, Cherry wore her brown hair as she
always did, straight and swept over from right to left. There was no make
up. A blue button up shirt, dark grey slacks and a knitted blue cardigan.
On her feet were black socks and black ladies Oxford lace up shoes. She
had a small black shoulder bag across her left shoulder with the bag on
her right.
The automated public address on the train came to life and announced they
would soon arrive at Cherry's destination. She opened he bag and pulled
out he phone. There was a text message.
'Waiting for you in the station ticket office by the coffee bar. Wearing
a black cardi over a dress. See you soon,' it read.
She quickly typed a message back.
'Train approaching now, be there soon. Blue cardi!' And she added a
smiley face before sending.
Cherry had wondered what she would be like, she had sounded really nice
but was a bit pushy over phone. She thought of this visit as being more
formal but Constance sounded like she wanted it to be more informal and
friendly.
Cherry stepped off the train, looked up to see the 'WAY OUT' signage and
followed them. Up and over a footbridge before turning off the platform
and through the ticket barriers. She scanned the large room and noted the
exit, ticket machines and ticket sales windows. Then she looked back the
other way and she saw the coffee bar and almost instantly a well dresses
woman that fitted the description. At the same time the woman locked eyes
on Cherry and they both walked towards each other.
Cherry spoke first as they approached. "Ms Thornbury??"
"Cherry," she replied then leaned down and greeted Cherry with a peck on
the cheek. "But please call me Constance. Ms Thornbury is a little too
formal," In her heels Ms Thornbury stood 6 inches above her visitor with
her chin in line with Cherry's forehead.
"Very well, Constance it is then." And each gave the other a smile.
"So Cherry, I don't have many close friends and those that are close are
always busy at work so I planned to have a little fun today if that is
ok."
Cheery nodded.
"I thought we could go for a coffee to start with, coffee ok with you?"
Ms Thornbury asked.
"Oh, yes if you like," Cherry replied.
"Good, not here though I know a nice place in town." And she turned to
the station exit and lead the way.
They chatted briefly as they walked; about Cherry's journey and the
weather; before they reached an old building. The pebbledashed walls were
painted a terracotta colour and the window frames in bright white. The
entrance door was black and in a low frame so Ms Thornbury had to duck a
little to go through. The modest looking front was decieving as the
building spread out at the back into a spacious conservatory with tables
and chairs. There were several tables occupied but lots of room was still
spare. They ordered two americano's and took a seat at a table against
the back wall. The view through the conservatory windows was pleasant, a
neatly trimmed lawn, surrounding shrubs and bushes at each side which all
dropped down to a small river about 50 yards back.
"So Cherry, who would you say Matthew takes after, you or your husband?"
Ms Thornbury asked as they waited for their drinks to arrive.
"Mmmm, I don't think there is a straight answer to that question. He
perhaps has a little of both of us in him. I think he has a good work
ethic which would most likely relate to my husband. He is also quite mild
mannered which is maybe more like me, although that said Malcolm is not
exactly a party animal."
Ms Thornbury listened attentively and their drinks arrived.
"Yes, that kind of fits. Matthew is quite placid and well mannered. In
fact it was such a relief when I realised that my new lodger was not a
roughian, rude or just insensitive to others. I think you have done a
good job raising him."
"Thank you," she replied. "I think or at least hope he has turned out
ok."
Both ladies attended to their drinks, then took a sip.
"So your husband, Malcolm. He's a bit of a go getter is he?" Ms Thornbury
asked.
Cherry broke into a smile, almost laughing she snorted. Then shook her
head "Hardly!"
Ms Thornbury smiled "What's so funny, you said he had a good work ethic?"
"Well yes, but.........just not like that. He's.... well dedicated to his
work. He works hard at what he does. But he is not what you might call a
cut and thrust kind of man."
"Ah, I see," she acknowledged. "So is Matthew an only child, no brothers
or sisters?"
"No, there's no brothers or sisters. I think myself lucky to have
Matthew," she replied now looking down into her coffee.
"Oh, were there problems.....complications?" she asked.
"Erm.....well." Cherry paused.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry. That's perhaps...."
"It's ok Constance, but I would prefer not to talk about it if that's
ok." She looked up at Ms Thornbury and saw acceptance.
They sipped at their coffee for a few minutes without saying a word. Just
staring out through the window. Then Cherry broke the silence.
"I'm sorry Constance, I.....I kind of killed the good mood," she said
still looking out of the window. She suddenly felt a warm hand close over
hers as it rested on the table between them. She looked round instantly
to see Constance's red nailed hand on top of her own hand. She then
glanced up at Constance's face and was instantly caught in her gaze. To
Cherry it seemed like an age that they stared into each others eyes
before it became too much and she had to avert her gaze. She dare not
look back up at her.
Ms Thornbury then spoke smoothly, "It's ok Cherry.........I already know
I like you........everything is just fine. In fact I want you to call me
Connie from now on, not many people get that privilage."
Cherry could still not look up, her hand still clasped by Connie's.
Distant memories of being bullied by the bitchy popular girls at school
came back to haunt her mind. She was not sure how or why but Connie's
stare just made her want to cower, back down. It was not a comfortable
feeling and put her on edge.
"Drink up Cherry, I have an idea to put a smile back on your face."
Within a few minutes they had both finished, they stood and left the
shop. On the path outside Ms Thornbury took Cherry's hand in hers and
lead her along the street like a mother and child. It was a little odd
for Cherry, she thought it strange but dare not pull her hand away for
fear of offending Connie.
A few minutes walk and they entered a department store. The strong aroma
of fine fragrance hit them and Connie wound her way through the brighly
lit cosmetic displays and counters. She stopped at one of the counters
and called out.
"Cheryl"
A lady of around 30 turned around. Her dyed blond hair put up into a neat
bun on top of her head. Her makeup heavy but perfectly applied as if
advertising the products. She wore a double breasted white smock with her
name badge on the right side of her chest.
She smiled at seeing Ms Thornbury. "Ahhhh hello Ms Thornbury, how's my
favoutite customer?" she asked in sweet tone as she walked over.
"I'm very well thank you Cheryl."
"Oh gooood, so how can I help you today?" she asked.
"I want to treat my new friend Cherry here to a makeover," said Ms
Thornbury.
"But I..." Cherry started to speak.
"Oh how lovely. Pop yourself on the stool at the end of the counter,"
Cheryl replied.
"Please, there is really no...." Cherry started to speak again.
"Cherry it's fine, I'm paying. It's my treat to my new friend," Ms
Thornbury insisted.
"But I don't wear makeup," she finally stated clearly.
"Oh, are you allergic?" Ms Thornbury asked.
"No, I just..." Cherry started to reply.
"Well then let's us have some fun, just relax and enjoy being pampered,"
Ms Thornbury insisted once again.
By now Cheryl had gathered her kit and was preparing to start work. "Is
there any particular look you would like to try?" she asked.
Ms Thornbury looked at Cherry for a moment, "I think we need a subtle
daytime look, neutral tones, not bold but enough to enhance her
appearance."
Cherry looked to one lady then the other as they discussed her fate.
"Lovely, I think I know exactly what you mean," Cheryl replied.
Ms Thornbury took hold of Cherry's hand once again, squeezed lightly
"Just Relax Cherry and enjoy it."
She released her hand and let Cheryl take the space and start work.
Around thirty minutes later Cheryl declared the job done,
"That is lovely," said Ms Thornbury.
Cheryl moved a mirror around on the counter so Cherry could see for
herself. It was far more natural looking than she had expected. Her
complextion was even and more pure looking, her eyes had a noticable
shading on the lids in pale browns with eye liner and mascara that gave
them a striking look. Her lips were coated in a quite noticable browny
shade of pink. Her mouth slightly open made them look full and inviting.
Cherry could not help but like what she saw and her open mouth turned
slightly up at the corners into a smile.
Ms Thornbury looked on "I'm so glad you like it."
"Thank you," Cherry mouthed to Cherly and Ms Thornbury.
"You know what I would like to see?" Cherry and Cheryl both looked at Ms
Thornbury.
"Cheryl, can you add some lip gloss please." It was not a question, it
was an instruction.
Thirty seconds later Cherry looked back into the mirror, her mouth opened
"Oh my! she said.
Adding the gloss to her lips had made them look very glam, almost slutty
and she was not quite so comfortable with how they looked.
Ms Thornbury however was more positive. "That is just fabulous, don't you
agree Cheryl?"
"Oh yes absolutely Ms Thornbury."
Twenty minutes later both ladies sat at a bar. They had ordered Lasagna,
fries and salad and both had a glass of wine. Ms Thornbury had ordered
the drinks before Cherry could have a say. She rarely drank any alcohol.
At her side was a carry bag filled with cosmetics from the makeover that
Ms Thornbury had purchased.
"See, I told you. The makeover was a good idea. It made you smile."
"Yes, yes it did, thank you," Cherry responded, "but you should not have
purchased all of that makeup for me, I feel so bad."
"Nonsense, it was my treat and besides it's making me happy." And she
sipped her wine again.
They both enjoyed their meal and another glass of wine before Ms
Thornbury took her new friend by the hand and lead her out of the bar.
"Time for a little shopping I think."
Cherry was feeling the alcohol, she was a little buzzed and her
inibitions and shyness relented a little. She smiled openly as they
walked hand in hand into a mall. She was relaxing and letting Connie lead
the way.
They went in a couple of stores before going into a large department
store and looked through the clothing on offer. They both checked out
items and laughed and giggled at what they might look like. Then Ms
Thornbury picked out a little black dress. Lace sleeves and shoulders and
evidently figure hugging down to mid thigh. She held it against Cherry.
"Wow, I like that," she said. "What size are you?"
"Oh no you can't buy it!"
"Oh but I can........ and I will, if I want to," she replied giving
Cherry a look that said 'just try and stop me'.
"But I'm not a dress person, I have barely worn a skirt since I was at
school," she challenged again.
"You're not a makeup person either are you? But there you are looking
just so pretty." She eyed her again.
"Please Connie, it's not right. You should not be spending all of your
money on me." She tried again to make Ms Thornbury see reason.
"I'm going for a size 12, it has some stretch in it so it should be
fine," she said and she then swapped the one in her hand for another on
the rack.
"Let's go and complete the outfit." And she took Cherry's hand once again
and lead her over to the lingerie department.
"Oh my ....... Connie........you can't possibly buy me underwear!" she
exclaimed as she trailed behind.
Ms Thornbury stopped, turned around to face Cherry.
"Do you seriously think you can tell me how to spend my money?" she
challenged Cherry.
Cherry averted her eyes "Well of course not Connie, but I..." Ms
Thornbury cut her off.
"Good, then we understand each other. So if I want to buy a friend
something then that is just what I will do," she turned around once again
and started to scan the racks for something that took her fancy. She was
looking at the black items.
"What bra size are you Cherry?" Ms Thornbury asked without looking at
her.
Cherry; despite her partly inibriated state; felt a little uncomfortable
at disclosing what she thought of as personal information. She lightly
bit her bottom lip as Ms Thornbury turned to face her again looking for
the answer.
"Oh don't be shy about it. I can probably guess by looking," she said
making Cherry feel all the more self conscious about it. "Of course if
you are not willing to tell me I could always call an assistant to come
and measure you?"
Cherry gasped and looked up. "You wouldn't?"
"I suggest you tell me then," Ms Thornbury said with a devious smile.
Cherry could not help but return the smile then she looked back down and
whispered, "36......B"
Ms Thornbury returned to looking at the racks and thumbed through the
bras.
"Oh, that's a shame, they don't have your size," Ms Thornbury advised
without looking around.
They continued along the racks, Cherry again being pulled along as their
hands were clasped together. Cherry had just accepted it was Connie's way
and allowed her to keep holding her hand. Ms Thornbury stopped again,
then turned to Cherry and smiled. Looking back at the rack Cherry saw
what Connie was looking at.
"Now that is saucy," Ms Thornbury said as she let go of Cherry's hand and
started to look through the bras.
Deep red satin with black straps, black lace and trimming around and
across the cups.
"Oh marvellous, they have your size," Ms Thornbury said with a little
excitement.
The search continued through the knickers.
"Size 12." She smiled and pulled the hanger from the rack.
"Size 12." She grinned back at Cherry as she pulled the matching
suspender belt from the bottom rail.
Cherry blushed at the thought, to her this was naughty and not something
she would ever do on her own. But in this situation she was being dragged
along at Ms Thornburys will. A will that she had no answer to. No
argument seemed to have any effect on her.
Ms Thornbury moved along and over to the hosery pulling Cherry with her.
It only took a minute for her to select a packet of 15 denier lace top
stockings in black.
"We must find you some shoes," Ms Thornbury stated and once again Cherry
was lead like a child over to the shoes across the store. "What size are
you, a 4 or a 5 maybe?" she asked.
"Usually a 5 Connie," Cherry knew it was pointless trying to stop her.
Without consultation Ms Thornbury selected a pair of black 3 inch heeled
sandals with a patent finish. It was like she was in a hurry, eager to
get the job done. She went to the checkout and paid for everything,
Cherry by her side every step of the way.
"Come on Cherry, let's go to my house for some privacy and later you can
model for me," she said with a big grin across her face. Cherry could not
say anything, she just blushed at the thought and allowed herself to be
steered to the store exit.
Ms Thornbury turned the key in the front door and pushed it open ushering
Cherry inside.
"Welcome to my home Cherry," Ms Thornbury said to her. "Just leave the
bags down by the coat stand for now."
"Ok," she replied quietly and taking in the surroundings.
"So let me show you round my home, where your son has been staying." And
apart from the front two bedrooms she gave Cherry the full tour before
ending up in the kitchen. Ms Thornbury started to make tea and they
talked.
"You're so lucky to have such a nice large house," Cherry commented.
"Oh I wouldn't call it large, adequate would be a better description."
"Well it's large to me, my house is quite modest in comparison. Matthew
has a bigger room here than he has at home."
They both took their tea cups and retired to the sitting room.
"Malcolm said you had been teaching Matthew domestic chores," Cherry
questioned.
"Yes, I have included him with making meals when he has been free to do
so."
"If I had suggested doing anything like that at home he would have done a
dissapearing act. How did you manage to persued him to help?" she asked.
"Oh I can be pretty persuasive when I need to be."
Cherry smiled "Yes I had noticed."
"Not only cooking though Cherry, Matthew will soon be fully qualified in
laundry as well. He knows how to use the washing machine and has had some
practice with the ironing board as well."
"I have to say, I am impressed."
"Not only that, he helps clear up in the kitchen most evenings as well,"
Ms Thornbury added.
"I'd be glad to have him back when you have finished training him,"
Cherry said with a broad smile.
Ms Thornbury's mind spoke, 'If only you knew just how much training he is
getting.'
Ms Thornbury finished her tea and placed her cup down on the coffee
table.
"I think it's time you prepared for the catwalk Cherry."
"Oh no... do I have to?" She looked a little bashful.
"You most certaily do, I purchased everything with the intention of you
wearing it. Now finish your tea," she insisted.
Cherry was feeling embarrassed, she did not see herself as a glamourous
woman. This was going to be way out of her comfort zone. She sipped the
last of her tea before placing the cup down next to Ms Thornbury's.
"Come on then." Ms Thornbury stood up and held out her hand for Cherry to
take. She did so after a moment and she too stood. Ms Thornbury took
Cherry out to the hall where they both picked up a bag each and then went
upstairs to Ms Thornbury's room.
The contents of the department store bag was emptied onto the bed. The
dress and underwear lay there while the shoes were placed on the floor.
"I will give you a few minutes of privacy to change," Ms Thornbury said
as she walked from her room and closed the door.
Cherry looked at the outfit strewn across the bed, she did not see this
coming when she left home this morning. This was embarrassing, but a
little exciting too. The makeup had surprised her a little, maybe the
outfit would not be so bad. She started to undress and her excitement
built a little, it felt odd to be undressing in another womans bedroom.
She picked up the knickers and realised they had a thong back. This would
be a new experience for her. She slipped them on and felt the back slip
between her cheeks, the lace edging tickling a little. Not at all
unpleasant she mused. She had a preconception that a thong would be
uncomfortable but it was not the case. The feeling of her backside being
invaded was uppermost in her mind.
She picked up the bra, she had to admit is was very pretty. She slipped
it on, it had a plastic clip at the front between the cups instead of the
usual hook and eye at the back and was pretty easy to get on. She
adjusted her bosom for comfort. The upper flesh pushing up and in a
little creating a rather inticing cleavage.
The suspender belt was not entirely new. She had tried them once as a
teenager, she borrowed from her mother she remembered. Tan stockings with
a plain white belt, not quite the same sexy appeal that this set had. She
hooked the belt around her waist then sat down and opened the packet of
stockings. She had hardly owned any hosery over the years, and especially
not the delicate flimsy material she now held in her hands. She addmitted
to herself how nice the stockings felt as she rolled and pulled them up
her legs. Attaching the garters to the lace top proved very difficult.
The front was ok but the back was too fiddly, she gave up after a few
minutes. She took a quick peek at herself in the mirror. 'Oh my' she said
in her head. She actually looked quite, dare she think it....sexy?
She turned back to the bed and picked up the dress. Undoing the zip she
then held it open and stepped inside and worked it up until she could get
her arms into the lace sleeves. She then struggled with the zip, the last
few inches were out of her grasp.
Leaving the zip she put her feet into the high heeled sandals. Having
done the thin straps and buckles she stood and nearly fell forward. Heels
were not in her wardrobe at home and so was very unsteady on them to
start with. Another quick look in the mirror, it was not what she was
used to seeing, it was her madeup face on someone elses body. The dress
hugged her body showing off every curve that her jumpers and trousers
efectively hid from the world. She looked and felt younger, naughty, sexy
and a little embarrasment. She had to show herself to Connie like this,
she felt almost naked as the dress hugged her with every move.
There was a knock on the door. "How are you getting on?" came Ms
Thornbury's voice from the other side.
"Errmm, I ......I'm,......you can come in," she stuttered her reply.
The door undid and pushed open. Cherry stood facing the door, her head
hung down a little and her eyes looking up a little to see Ms Thornbury's
reaction.
"OH WOW!" she gushed and immediately walked forward and hugged Cherry in
a tight embrace. She let go after a few seconds and stood back. "How do
you feel?" she asked.
Cherry shrugged her shoulders, not comfortable with vocalising how she
actually felt. She diverted the question "I...I had a little trouble with
a couple of things," she said.
"Oh, do tell."
"I can't reach the zip on the dress properly and the back garters were
too fiddly," she felt foolish, silly that a grown woman could not manage
to dress herself.
"Here. let me help. Turn around."
Cherry turned to face the opposite wall. She felt a hand just above her
bottom, then the zip pulled up to the top. Then to her surprise, she felt
the skirt of her dress being lifted up. Ms Thornbury's hands brushed
against her uncovered cheeks as she attached the back garters to the
stockings. Ms Thornbury then tugged the hem of the dress back down and
stood up.
Ms Thornbury stood back from her "Cherry you look absolutely amazing. I
knew when I met you this morning that you are a gorgeous woman hiding
under unflattering jumpers."
She was all bashful, her head hung down and was struggling to cope with
the compliment.
"Well you look wonderful, and I would bet you feel wonderful as well."
"Well I guess I do feel pretty good right now," she responded with a
little smile.
"Come on, lets go downstairs." Ms Thornbury took her hand and started to
walk from the bedroom.
"But I was just going to change back," Cherry protested.
"Nonsense, you can't put all that effort into dressing up then not wear
it for a while." And she continued to lead Cherry down the stairs and
into the sitting room.
"You stand over there for me." Ms Thornbury pointed to one side of the
room opposite the window. She took her favoutite armchair and relaxed
back.
Cherry was not sure what was to happen, as she stood where instructed.
"Put your right hand on your hip and walk down the room, like you are on
the catwalk," Ms Thornbury requested.
Cherry felt silly, but put her hand on her hip slowly and started to walk
a little clumsily at first. She giggled a bit at the sillyness of what
she was doing. The alcohol still affecting her.
"Swing your hips a bit Cherry," Ms Thornbury instructed.
Cherry obliged and started to relax as she walked along then swiveled and
walked back.
"Now pull your shoulders back," came the next instruction.
Cherry again tried to follow the request, now grinning broadly almost
laughing as she now strutted back and fourth, hand on hip, swinging her
hips and pulling her shoulders back and chest forward in the process.
After six lengths she burst into a fit of giggles and flopped onto the
sofa.
Ms Thornbury laughed a bit as well, then still smiling as she calmed
down.
"I'm so glad you came today, I've had a lot of fun."
Cherry looked over at her and returned the smile. "It has been a
........a very strange day for me."
"Are you saying you have not enjoyed it?" she asked.
"Oh no.....its just......well.......you have pushed me into doing things
I would not normally even consider. But it has not been bad as it has
turned out, it has been very different but strangely enjoyable."
Ms Thornbury got up from her chair and stepped across to the sofa and sat
next to Cherry.
