Introduction
To avoid confusion when reading this story some explanation is
required. The main character leads a double life. When in his male
persona I have used masculine pronouns and when in female persona
female pronouns are used. After all they become really different
characters.
Carrie and Jess Take Flight
"Bravo Alpha 282 you are cleared for takeoff."
Captain David Wilton glanced at his First Officer and pushed the
throttle steadily forwards. The growl of the 4 Rolls Royce engines of
the British Airways 747 rose to a scream and the plane began its
passage down the runway, slowly gathering speed until it reached 155
knots, at which time Captain Wilton gently pulled back on the controls
and 850,000 lb. of aircraft lifted slowly into the Los Angeles smog
and began its journey north towards London. The atmosphere in the
cabin was relaxed; David and his First Officer Debra Collins had
worked together before and had formed a good team. Once the aircraft
had reached its cruising altitude the flight settled into its normal
routine. While Debra was busy with some of the flight recording
details David gazed out of the window and looked back on his life with
satisfaction.
At 31 he was one of the youngest 747 Captains in the company. Luck had
featured prominently in David's life to date. Born of wealthy parents
who had been able to afford the flying lessons he started as a
teenager, David had got his Commercial Pilot License at age 21. This
coincided with a time when BA was looking for young pilots and he had
been with them now for 9 years. Again he was lucky because a large
number of the senior pilots had retired within a few years of each
other and he had progressed quickly up the ladder. David was one of
those people to whom things came easily. He seemed to have a natural
ability piloting a plane making even the difficult procedures they
practiced on simulators appear easy. He was also very good looking in
a shy boyish way. A little under 6 feet and quite slender, his blond
hair and large blue eyes made him very attractive to the flight
attendants in the company, both male and female. Adding to his
attraction was the fact that he was a very nice guy, friendly and
unassuming. A handsome airline captain has no difficulty getting the
amorous attentions of the beautiful young flight attendants, but if
David noticed their advances he never responded; he was totally
devoted to his wife and it would never have occurred to him to cheat
on her.
5,000 miles away in a large house set in a spacious garden Jess
Vaughan was just finishing hemming the wedding dress she was sewing
for a client who was marrying in 2 weeks. "Just a few details to
complete and this one is done" she thought. Jess had married David 3
years earlier but had decided to keep her own name. 29 years old she
was tall, dark and very beautiful, but unlike David, she had had to
struggle for any success she achieved. She was a flight attendant and
they had met at a party at the home of one of Jess's friends. When she
had asked him what his job was he had replied in a vague way that he
worked for British Airways out at Heathrow. She only found out that he
was a Captain when she found herself working the flight to Rome that
he was piloting. Jess was enormously impressed because most of the
pilots she had met used their position shamelessly to attract pretty
women. The initial attraction only became stronger and they were
married a year later. Although David earned a good salary Jess
followed the habits of a lifetime which was to work hard. Because she
worked the longer flights Jess found that, like David, she only made
2-3 trips a month, which left quite a lot of leisure time. She had
learned to sew as a young girl and became a very accomplished
seamstress and dressmaker. She had started her dress making business a
year after their marriage and found that she was kept busy, which
suited her very well. Despite their different backgrounds Jess and
David shared a common passion which was flying. Unlike David Jess had
never had the money for flying lessons when she was younger, but as
soon as she began working she had put aside money for flying lessons.
She managed to get her basic license and was now working towards her
Commercial Pilots License with full support and encouragement from
David.
Feeling that she had done enough for the day Jess hung the dress up in
a large closet and went into the kitchen and poured herself a large
glass of red wine which she took out onto the verandah, selected a
comfortable lounger and sat down with a book. She was looking forward
to David's return the next day; something told her that something
special was going to happen soon.
Flight 282 landed in London early the next morning and despite the
congestion on the motorway David made it home well before lunchtime.
They greeted each other with a passionate embrace that lasted several
minutes. Because it was such a sunny day they decided to have lunch at
one of their favourite pubs on the banks of the Thames. After lunch
they took a long walk through footpaths near the river and eventually
arrived back home early evening. David normally made a point of
staying up until his usual bedtime but after dinner on the verandah he
found himself fading around 9pm. Jess said that she too needed an
early night because she was working a flight to Vienna the next
morning. When she had finished in the bathroom she found David deeply
asleep and snoring softly. She looked down on him feeling a great love
for her husband as he slept. "Tomorrow my baby, maybe tomorrow," she
thought.
David woke around 8.30, turned over and dozed for another hour. He got
up and looked out the window at the beautiful sunny day. As expected
Jess's car was gone and he knew that she would not return until early
evening so he had the whole day to himself. With growing excitement he
showered and shaved before making his way to his study where he
reached into his cupboard and removed a small suitcase that was at the
far back on a shelf. He carried it back to the bedroom and placed it
on the bed. Prolonging the anticipation he put on a silk robe and went
downstairs and made himself a strong cup of coffee. Returning upstairs
he paused for a moment, took a deep breath and with trembling fingers
opened the case. The case was full of the most gorgeous lingerie;
panties, bra's, garter belts slips and stockings in a multitude of
colours all neatly folded. He stared at the collection for a while
before finally taking out a matching set of satin bra and panties in a
deep midnight blue colour. He found a garter belt in the same shade
and a pair of dark seamed stockings. He attached the garter belt
around his waist and slowly drew the silky stockings up his legs
gasping with the delightful silky sensation. He stepped into the high
waisted panties, which held his throbbing penis firmly in place,
hooked his bra at the back and inserted the 2 gel forms to give a
little breast enhancement. Satisfied he sat down in front of a mirror
and began applying his makeup with a deft touch, which spoke of many
hours of practice. Lastly he pulled a long blonde wig onto his head
and brushed the hair carefully into place. He looked carefully in the
mirror and satisfied he took a pair of 3 inch heels from the case and
slipped them onto his feet. He then stood and walked around the room
moving effortlessly in the familiar heels. "Now which dress should I
wear for brunch?" he thought.
He decided to have another cup of coffee before choosing a dress and
so he went carefully downstairs and was just turning towards the
kitchen when the door to Jess's sewing room opened and Jess stepped
out wearing her flight attendants uniform. "Surely this can't be
Captain Wilton?" she said with a cheeky smile. "I thought that all
pilots were expert at minimizing drag."
David stared at her with a mixture of shock and horror. His mouth
opened and closed like a fish but no sound came out. Finally he
managed to say, "Jess, you, you, you're here..."
"Yes dear I think even the most fastidious philosopher would not
dispute that," she said.
"Jess, I, I, can..." David stammered.
"Can what dear? Can explain? Oh I don't think you need explain; after
all it is perfectly obvious what has happened."
"No, no," started David but Jess cut him off.
"As I was saying, it's perfectly obvious that the airline has lost
your luggage. As an employee of British Airways I can only say how
sorry I am that they have somehow managed to lose everything except
the very saucy underwear you are wearing," said Jess with mock
seriousness. "But please be assured," she continued, "that I will do
all I can to ensure that you connect with your flight at once. Now
let's see, you cannot be a pilot dressed like that, so you must be a
pretty flight attendant; here you can have my uniform." Jess
immediately began to remove her blouse followed by her skirt and lacy
black half-slip.
David tried to say something but Jess quickly stepped forwards and
placed a finger over his lips and said firmly "Not a word Miss, just
get dressed now and I will meet you upstairs and we can discuss the
flight details." With this she walked past David and made her way
upstairs slowly so that he could take in every detail of her long
shapely legs.
As though in a trance David buttoned up the blouse, stepped into the
slip and then the skirt and zipped it into place. He stood for a few
minutes unable to move until a voice from the bedroom called,
"Stewardess, come here please."
David began the agonizing trip up the stairs dreading every second
that took him closer to the bedroom. Finally he entered and saw Jess
propped up on the bed; she was wearing his flight uniform minus the
trousers; the cap was set at a jaunty angle.
"Jess," he began. Again Jess cut him off.
"No, it's Captain Vaughan," she said tapping the 4 yellow bands on the
epaulettes of David's shirt. "You must be my new stewardess, but we
haven't been introduced; what is your name, it can't be David dressed
as you are."
"Carrie," whispered David.
"Sorry didn't hear that, you will have to speak up."
"Carrie," said David a little more firmly.
"Carrie," said Jess with a big smile. "How nice to meet you and have
you serve under me."
"What, what are you going to do?" stammered David.
"Oh I'm going to fuck you," said Jess decisively. "And after that we
can have tea and a nice chat. Let's go through the final check shall
we? How does it go now; arm doors for departure and cross check. No
that can't be right. Arm doors for departure and cross dress; that's
it! Now onto your back sweetie we want this flight to leave on time."
Jess kept up a commentary as she removed her panties before reaching
under David's skirt and easing his panties over his very erect penis.
"Captain Vaughan to Tower, panties are off and we are ready for
departure; time for me to take my seat at the controls." She gently
eased David's skirt and slip up to his waist and his penis sprang
forward. Jess took hold of it and straddled David before inserting
just the tip at the opening of her vagina. "OK we are cleared for
takeoff," shouted Jess a she suddenly thrust downwards. "Firm grip on
the controls and thrust the throttle forwards." She bent forwards
almost touching David's face with the peak of her cap and began to
pump up and down vigorously while contracting her vaginal muscles as
hard as she could. "Wheels up," she yelled as she tightened her grip
on David's cock and leant backwards. She continued to buck and bounce
with increasing fervor. Both cried out loudly as they climaxed
together and Jess fell forwards across her husband in exhaustion. They
lay for several minutes until eventually Jess levered herself up,
crawled forwards and announced "Cabin crew have now cum in the cabin
and will clean the Captain's pussy," before lowering her pussy onto
David's mouth. He tongued her thoroughly until she climaxed again.
"David," she gasped, "you are a great lover but I have never had a
fuck like that before."
They lay in silence for what seemed like hours. Eventually David said
in a very small voice, "Jess are you going to divorce me?"
"I might," she said in a disinterested voice leaning on her elbows and
looking down at him. "But we don't have to decide that now, let's wait
till after tea." She continued in a dreamy voice, "I suppose that I
have two choices; I could divorce you and marry Carrie or I could stay
married to you and have Carrie as a live-in mistress, I'm not sure,
what do you think?" And she yawned loudly.
Then smiling down at her husband she said in a soft voice, "Have a
shower darling, put on your dressing gown and come downstairs as
David. I'm going to make us brunch, I'm starving."
30 minutes later when David entered the kitchen dressed in a terry
cloth bath robe, Jess dressed in a red satin robe was just serving a
delicious omelet hash browns and fruit. They ate in silence for a
while until David said, "Jess I'm so sorry."
Jess quickly held up her hand and said, "David let me speak first; I
think it will save us time. Let's take our coffee into the lounge
where we can talk."
David followed his wife into the lounge and she patted the seat next
to her on the couch. She reached over and pulled him towards her so
that his head rested on her chest.
"Now David please hear me out and don't interrupt. First thing is I am
not angry or disappointed. I would have loved to have been told but I
fully understand why you kept it secret. The truth is I am thrilled to
find this side of you. I have known about this side of you for several
weeks when I quite accidently found the suitcase with all your
treasures. Then it all made sense. Whenever I was away I would come
home and the house was immaculate, but when I was here you would only
do housework if I asked. Now I know that it turned you on to get
dressed, perhaps as a maid,and clean the house. I faked the trip to
Vienna guessing that after being away for a few days you would not be
able to resist the temptation of dressing as Carrie. I moved the car
and hid in the sewing room." David gasped in amazement. "I truly want
to spend the rest of my life with you, it's just that this revelation
will necessitate some changes; don't worry I think you will like the
changes, at least I hope so."
"Do you really mean this Jess?" asked David.
"Yes my darling; you see I have been keeping a secret from you as well
which I will reveal later. First please tell me how Carrie came into
being."
David took a deep breath and began. "I was quite young, perhaps 11 or
12 when I began to get a fascination with girl's skirts and dresses. I
liked seeing a girl in a dress but realized that it was really
something that I wished I could wear. I longed to be the one in the
pretty dress swishing around the house. I even loved the sound of the
names of girl's clothes; panties, (I hated the word knickers),
petticoats, skirts. My sister Anne is a year older so I was exposed to
it very frequently. When we were quite small we often played dress up
when we were alone. I just loved being the Princess and often wished
that I could in real life. I imagined having hundreds of wonderful
dresses that I could wear over my petticoats. I never wanted to marry
a handsome Prince, the Princess of my dreams would just be with girls.
Anne and I have always been very close and when I got older I confided
in her. She was very supportive and would let me spend time with her
as a younger sister. Those times were magical; our parents would be
away for the day and Anne would make me really pretty and we would do
girl stuff together. We even went out a few times as sisters. I begged
her not to tell anyone and she has kept her promise to this day,
although she has urged me to tell you, but I was terrified in case I
lost you." He began to cry softly and Jess held him tight and
comforted him, "David my sweet man, it is ok, it's nothing to be
ashamed of, I think it's wonderful. Please go on."
"Once I left home and had my own flat it was much easier to be Carrie
whenever I wanted. I got most of my clothes either on-line or overseas
when I was working. After I met you and we got married I thought that
the urge would get less but if anything it increased. Seeing you
wearing a pretty dress or skirt only increased the longing to be in
skirts."
"Do you want to be a woman David?" asked Jess very quietly.
David paused before answering. "Of course I have wondered that myself
but I believe the answer is no. I asked myself would I want to be a
woman if I could only wear trousers and the answer is no. The whole
point of being a woman for me would be to wear pretty skirts and
dresses and to look good in them. You grew up wearing dresses and
skirts, perhaps having to wear them when you did not want to, so this
may be hard for you to understand, but I get this wonderful feeling
when I am wearing a dress or skirt. The sight and feel of the fabric
brushing against my legs is a magical sensation. A simple act to you
like smoothing your skirt under you when you sit is for me an act of
feminine bliss. Does this sound crazy?"
"No my darling I think I understand. As you say girls grow up that way
and just take it for granted. I'm relieved that you don't want to
change your anatomy," smiled Jess, "I don't want to lose David but
just to reassure you, you do look good in skirts."
"Jess I love you," said David still crying.
"I know darling and I love you. Do you know why?" asked Jess.
"Right now I can't imagine why you would," sniffed David.
"Silly boy," said Jess. "I don't know where to start there are so many
reasons; ok here goes. You have always treated me with respect, as an
equal. You were always so self-effacing, turning the conversation
towards my interests not your own. Dammit David we were dating for 3
months before I found out you were a pilot. Most of the guys in the
cockpit are such chauvinists; they just want to get into your
panties."
"So did I," said David.
"Yes you did literally," giggled Jess. "You have always encouraged me
especially with flying; you have no idea how much that means to me.
Not least, you have never cheated on me."
"I haven't," said David, "But how did you know?"
"Josie told me," said Jess. Josie was a close friend of Jess's who was
also a flight attendant with BA.
"How would Josie know?" asked David sounding puzzled.
Jess laughed. "She was at a party with a lot of BA girls and the topic
of pilots and their bedroom antics came up. One of the girls was
rather drunk and probably quite randy. Anyway she boasted about a
little club she was in called "Cockbusters" whose purpose is to see
who can screw the most pilots. They give extra points for Captains and
other airline pilot's. Josie didn't mention your name because she
really likes you, but someone else did. Anyway the randy one said, "Oh
we have a bounty on David Wilton, but no one has ever collected it;
apparently he loves his wife too much to cheat on her, can you believe
it?"
David looked very embarrassed and Jess hugged him. "Darling I need to
speak to Carrie now; we have been keeping her waiting. I have left
some things out for her in the spare room, so ask her to get dressed,
put on some makeup and come down here." They both went upstairs, Jess
into the main bedroom and David into one of the spare rooms. Half an
hour later David walked into the lounge wearing a T-shirt, denim skirt
and sandals. He was wearing his blonde wig and his makeup was
flawless. Jess rose from her chair and came forward. "Carrie you look
absolutely beautiful. Come and sit next to me we have so much to talk
about; things that I have not been able to say to David. Carrie, I
have been keeping a secret form David for a long time and I need to
tell you because you are not David and I am hoping that you will
understand. Carrie I am bi," said Jess.
Carries eyes open wide in surprise but she did not say anything.
"Josie was one of my lovers before I met David. After David there has
never been anyone else, until now that is. I have never cheated on him
but I don't think I can remain faithful to him any longer."
Carrie looked alarmed but did not say anything. Jess went on, "Carrie
I need a woman to love; Carrie I need you. I have always fantasized
about being with a pretty girlie girl with something extra between her
legs. Do you think you could be my girlie girl?"
Carrie put her arms around Jess and held her tight. Finally breaking
the silence she said, "Yes Jess I would love to be your girlie, girl,
just what does that entail?"
This time it was Jess's turn to sob. Eventually she recovered and
said, "Carrie you have no idea how happy this makes me. David is a
wonderful man but I need more; something only you can give me." She
paused for a while before continuing. "David is so good at everything
he does and he makes it look so easy. I have always had to struggle
and I can't help feeling that I am playing second fiddle to him. I
long to be the one doing the teaching and leading some of the time;
now I have found you I can be that leader. I can guide you like an
older sister but also as a lesbian lover. For this reason I want to
wear the pants in our relationship, not you; I want you to be in a
skirt or dress whenever we are together. I want you to look pretty.
Don't worry I do not want a submissive partner, far from it. You won't
be doing all the housework and wearing a French Maid's uniform; we
will be true partners, with me as the guide. Do you understand
Carrie?"
"I understand my love," said Carrie. "To be able to wear dresses and
skirts and express myself as Carrie is a dream come true." Carrie
paused before asking, "Couldn't I dress as a French Maid
occasionally?"
Jess collapsed into a fit of giggles, "Of course you can darling it
will be fun to harass you while you are doing the house work although
I suspect that dressed like that most of your work would be on your
back in the bedroom."
"What shall we do now?" asked Carrie.
"Right now we are going to start your apprenticeship, which in time,
depending on how well you learn, will lead to a full partnership. Now
come with me Carrie," said Jess getting to her feet. She made her way
down to the sewing room and ushered Carrie inside.
"Carrie you are going to help me make beautiful dresses. You have a
lot to learn and you will have to practice and practice because I am
sure that you have no idea how to sew."
"None at all," said Carrie.
"Good," replied Jess, "you will not have developed any bad habits."
For the next half hour Jess ran through some basic instruction in how
a sewing machine worked and some of the other tools a dressmaker uses.
"Now let's have you make your first dress; don't worry I will be doing
most of it but you can certainly help." Jess selected a large bolt of
cloth in a pretty floral pattern on a white background. "We are going
to make a simple summer dress that we can finish in about an hour and
a half. Normally it would only take me half an hour but we are going
slowly so that you can do some of it. Don't be afraid to make
mistakes; it's all part of the learning process." Jess laid out the
fabric and demonstrated the measurements she needed to make. She
allowed Carrie to do some of the easy cutting and took over when the
process became a little more complicated. "This is a light cotton
fabric which will move easily and be cool to wear," explained Jess.
"We need a lot of fabric because the dress is going to be mid-calf and
have a full skirt because we want it to swirl."
Carrie was amazed at how quickly and surely Jess worked and the
precision she brought to her craft. "It's not difficult," said Jess,
"it just needs practice and you will get lots." When it was finished
Jess hung the dress on a hanger and reached into a drawer and pulled
out a bag which she handed to Carrie.
"What's this?" asked Carrie.
"Open it and see," said Jess.
Carrie opened the bag and drew out a lacy white half-slip, which was
just below knee length. "It's very pretty," she said, "is it for me?"
"It is," said Jess. "You will recall that the dress we just made has
no lining so you will need to wear this slip with it."
"The dress is for me?" asked Carrie in a surprised voice. "How
wonderful, thank you so much Jess."
"The first of many," said Jess. "Well don't just stand there, try it
on."
Quickly Carrie took off her T-shirt and blouse and stepped into the
slip before pulling the dress on over her head. "Looks great," said
Jess, "go and have a look in the mirror over there." She smiled as
Carrie swished around the room and stopped in front of the mirror to
admire herself. "Come on Carrie give me a twirl."
Carrie did a twirl in the middle of the room and gave a squeal of
delight at how the skirt and slip floated around her as she turned.
"You just parade around the house for it bit, I've just got to get
something upstairs," said Jess. When she returned she was carrying 2
purses, one of which she presented to Carrie.
"What's this for?" asked Carrie.
"All girls take a purse when they go out," said Jess. "Come on we
don't want to be late."
Carrie looked alarmed. "Can't I change?" she asked.
"Why would you want to change, you've just got dressed?"
"But I'm wearing a dress," spluttered Carrie.
"I know darling, we just made it, remember? We have been invited out
to dinner; I mean Carrie and Jess have been invited; David will have
to take care of himself."
"I'm not sure if I can do this Jess," said Carrie nervously. "Where
are we going?"
"Josie and Fran have invited us for dinner. Don't worry," she said,
"They know all about you and are dying to meet you. Carrie is not
going to be a stay at home and the sooner you take the plunge the
better."
"Jess you are right; I'm just nervous."
"You will be fine," said Jess as she led Carrie out the door. They
took David's Aston Martin DB11 sports car and for once Carrie was very
happy for Jess to drive. Jess was actually a very good driver but
David loved to drive his car and Jess was usually happy to let him.
This time she took delight in being at the wheel with her new lover.
Carries nerves were quickly soothed when they arrived at Josie and
Fran's house and she was given a warm and loving welcome.
"Carrie we are so thrilled to meet you," said Josie giving her a huge
hug.
"You look a real knockout in that dress," added Fran joining in the
embrace.
They went inside and Fran immediately uncorked a bottle of Champaign
and poured generous measures.
"Here's to our new girlfriend," toasted Josie. "We are going to have
such fun going out as a foursome from now on."
"Let's organize a party for next week," said Fran. "Don't worry Carrie
it will just be girls; lesbian friends of ours."
"Yes I suppose I am a lesbian now," said Carrie.
"Yes you are," said Josie. "Don't misunderstand us Carrie, we
absolutely love David; he will always be our friend and is always
welcome here, but we think you are going to be something special. To
mark your first day as a proper woman Fran and I bought you a little
gift."
Carrie opened the small package to find a beautiful pair of ear-rings
and a matching pendant both in Sterling silver. "Oh my God they are
just fantastic," cried Carrie, "thank you so much." As David had worn
studs for some years he was able to use the ear-rings immediately.
Looking at himself in the mirror he became quite teary. "You three are
so wonderful the way you have treated me, I will never forget it."
"You deserve it," replied Fran, "you and David are both wonderful
people who we are proud to call our friends.
The dinner was a spectacular success and Carrie, Fran and Josie drank
a lot of wine. The four of them seemed to relate so well to each
other. Carrie could not remember having laughed so much. Eventually
Jess called a halt. "Well young lady," she said, "I need to get you
home; you have a big day tomorrow."
"What's happening tomorrow?" asked Carrie.
"David works his next flight in 10 days," said Jess. "You will be
Carrie until then and tomorrow we are going away to a lovely cottage
in Dorset. I want to spend every minute with my new girl and we also
have a mountain of shopping to do. It will be so much fun."
They said their goodbyes and promised to come back in a week for Josie
and Fran's party. Jess, who had not had much to drink, drove carefully
home. Once in the bedroom Jess had another gift for Carrie; a long
satin nightgown in a delicate shade of pink. Naturally they made
passionate love before falling asleep in each other's arms. "This is
the happiest day of my life," said Carrie before drifting off to
sleep.
8 hours later Jess gently shook Carrie awake. "Come on Carrie darling
time to get up, we have a lot to do today. Breakfast is ready so come
straight down."
Carrie arose sleepily and went into the bathroom to get ready before
putting a silk robe on over her nightgown and going down stairs into
the kitchen.
"You look so beautiful," said Jess who was sitting at the table with a
cup of coffee.
Carrie yawned and said, "What are we doing today?"
"I'm taking you to get your hair done. Don't worry Megan knows all
about you and is looking forward to helping."
"It seems everyone knows all about me," said Carrie ruefully.
"Only people who matter, dear," replied Jess. "After I drop you off I
am coming back here for the final fitting of Robyn's dress. I will
collect you from the hairdressers and then we head straight off to
Dorset."
"But I haven't packed," protested Carrie.
"I'll pack for you sweetie; it won't take long. You can wear your new
dress with sandals to the shop and I will put some underwear, a T-
shirt and the denim skirt you wore yesterday, together with some
toiletries in a bag and you are done. Don't forget we are going to do
some major damage to our credit cards buying you all the clothes a
girl like you needs. I can't wait to shop with you Carrie."
Carrie smiled and leaned over and kissed Jess. "I love you so much,"
she said.
Carrie cleaned up in the kitchen before heading upstairs to get
dressed. "Don't bother with makeup Carrie because you are getting a
full makeover," said Jess.
Jess drove to the hairdressers and went in with Carrie. A bubbly red
headed woman greeted Jess before turning to Carrie and saying, "Carrie
I am so glad to meet you, Jess has told me all about you. Come this
way and we will transform you into a Goddess." Turning to Jess she
said, "Come back in 3 hours and we'll have her all ready for you."
David's hair was longer than most pilots, coming down just below his
collar. Megan looked at it with approval. "Carrie you have great hair,
it is so full and thick. I am going to do some trimming and then we
will style it in a feminine way. Don't worry it will be easy to change
to a more boyish look when you have to be David again. While I am
taking care of your hair Trish will be doing your nails and your
facial. Just relax and enjoy being pampered."
Carrie did relax so well that she fell asleep for over an hour and
only awoke when she felt Trish applying some facial cream and
massaging it in firmly. She looked down and saw that she now had
bright scarlet nails. "This would turn a few heads on the flight
deck," thought Carrie.
Jess came back just as Megan was finishing. "Good timing," she said,
"are you two ready for the unveiling?"
Jess and Carrie both gasped when they looked in the mirror. There was
no trace of David left; he had been replaced by a very attractive
young woman with soft bouncy curls.
"Megan she looks gorgeous," shrieked Jess.
"Oh my God," cried Carrie, "is that really me?"
"Sure is Carrie," said Megan proudly. "Now go off and enjoy your
selves. Jess you will have to keep a close watch on Carrie because she
looks one hot chick."
After thanking Megan and Trish profusely Carrie and Jess made their
way out to the Aston Martin and Jess once again took her place behind
the wheel. "It would be worth keeping you as a girl just to drive this
car," said Jess.
"You are welcome to it as long as you let me stay in dresses," said
Carrie.
"Done deal," said Jess with a huge grin.
They were not far from the M4 and once on it Jess put her foot down
and the car surged powerfully down the motorway. Travelling at that
speed it was not long before they reached the turnoff for Exeter and
then began the journey at much lower speed along smaller roads to the
delightful village of Branscombe. After stopping for groceries they
made their way to the cottage they had rented, which was on the
outskirts of the village. It was made of stone with a thatched roof
and was set in a small but picturesque garden resplendent with summer
flowers. They took their luggage inside; one small case for Carrie and
one much larger bag for Jess and a smaller one.
"Why did you bring so much Jess?" asked Carrie.
"One case is my clothes; I will get some things to keep you company
but the bulk of the shopping is for Carrie. The other case is my small
sewing machine. There will be time when we are not shopping and I am
not screwing you when you will need to practice sewing. We will buy
some cloth here and you can practice making skirts."
The inside of the cottage featured oak beams which were so old that
the wood was as hard as steel. The bedroom featured a large bed and
the window looked out over the garden and faced south towards the
coast.
"Jess this is simply outstanding," said Carrie. "You have outdone
yourself."
"Not too shabby," said Jess modestly. "Come on Carrie let's try out
the bed and I do not mean sleep."
After they had made love they dozed for a while before taking a walk
through the peaceful countryside.
The air had the heavy scent of blossom and as they strolled along both
Carrie and Jess felt that they had never been happier.
"It's like being in love for the first time," said Carrie as she
walked along holding Jess's hand.
When they got back to the cottage it was late afternoon and Carrie
collected a bottle of wine and some glasses from the kitchen and they
sat out in the garden, drinking in the country atmosphere and the wine
and talking about the last 24 hours. When it began to get a little
cooler they went inside collected cardigans and strolled down into the
village where they found a quiet pub that served very good meals. They
attracted many admiring glances from some of the local men but Carrie
was relieved that no one disturbed them. "It won't always be like
this," warned Jess, "you are quite the looker Carrie; it's only a
matter of time before some guy starts hitting on you."
"Yuck," said Carrie screwing up her face in disgust, "I am a committed
lesbian and feminist."
"Glad to hear it," responded Jess.
Once they got back to the cottage Jess pulled out the sewing machine
and after clearing the kitchen table got Carrie to make a simple skirt
with some fabric she had brought. Jess gave careful instructions but
Carrie actually did all the work, which pleased her immensely.
"That skirt will be ideal for walking," said Jess as Carrie paraded
proudly around the kitchen. "The full skirt will be very cool if you
wear it with a T-shirt."
By 10 o'clock they were so tired that they crawled into bed and were
asleep within moments.
They were woken the next morning by the sun shining through the
curtains. Carrie pulled them back to reveal another beautiful day. She
went down stairs and made coffee and breakfast and was going to take
it up to Jess when she appeared and suggested that they have it in the
garden. They both put satin gowns on over their nightdresses and felt
a great contentment as they wandered around the garden, stopping to
pick some raspberries which they ate with cream.
Jess put her arms around Carrie and said, "We need to celebrate; you
have been a girl for a whole 24 hours."
"I know," said Carrie, "but it is hard to believe. If someone had told
me when I landed at Heathrow that 48 hours later, I would be walking
around a Dorset cottage garden in a nightdress with my wife I would
have suspected they were on drugs."
"Are you enjoying it?" asked Jess.
"Immensely," replied Carrie.
"Well I think we should celebrate by starting to build your wardrobe,"
said Jess. "We are going to go into Exeter and attack the shops."
Exeter proved to be an attractive town with some excellent shopping
areas. Once they were parked Jess again took charge, quickly picking
up Carries nervousness about going into a women's clothing store. She
admitted to herself that she was enjoying being the leader and seeing
Carrie outside her comfort zone. David by contrast was always in
control.
"Right Carrie let's first get your underwear sorted or rather your
lingerie, because I only want you to wear the prettiest and frilliest
of undies." They found an upmarket shop which exactly met Jess's
requirements much to Carrie's embarrassment. They left with a dozen
bra's and matching panties in assorted colours, several full and half-
slips all with the necessary lace edging and just for fun a very sexy
corset. Just as they were leaving Jess saw some girdles and pulled
Carrie over to see them.
"When would I wear those?" asked Carrie.
"Whenever you wear a tight pencil skirt, which will be quite often I
assure you. They will hide the very distinctive and entirely adorable
asset between your legs," said Jess firmly. They chose 3 and of course
also bought several pairs of stockings to go with them.
After taking the parcels back to the car they decided that it was time
for lunch. Jess had noticed an attractive looking restaurant just off
the main street and they headed towards it. Some workers from a
building site were just leaving for lunch at a pub just up the street.
Carrie felt very self-conscious and vulnerable, especially when some
of the men began to snigger and make snide comments as Carrie and Jess
had to walk around them. One of them stepped out in front of Jess to
block her path and as she turned to get past she deftly swung her
shoulder bag into his groin. "Oh sorry," she said sweetly as he
doubled over, "I'm so clumsy lately. Perhaps one of your friends could
rub it for you; bye for now."
"Pricks," said Jess as they walked off.
Carrie was silent as they reached the restaurant and settled into a
table. "Are you ok Carrie," asked Jess, "you seem upset."
"I am really upset," said Carrie in a shaking voice.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I probably should not have done it, but I could
not resist. I didn't mean to upset you."
"It wasn't you my darling; you were wonderful. It's me; I felt so weak
and vulnerable," said Carrie.
"Well you haven't had to experience this before," said Jess
thoughtfully, "so it must come as a shock. You have just seen that
wearing skirts is not all fun and games."
"I can't believe what arseholes some men are. I know I am a pretend
lesbian but I think that if I was a real woman I would certainly be
one."
Jess smiled and took hold of Carries hand. "They aren't all like that
Carrie, most are fine and some are simply wonderful; I should know
because I married one. Now let's get some lunch inside us because we
have some serious shopping to do and you will need all your strength."
After they had finished Jess lead Carrie into the first clothing shop.
"OK," she said, "We have your undies sorted; now it's time for the
outer layers. Have a look to see what you like but I warn you Carrie
that we will only buy really pretty dresses and skirts."
"I want to do some coastal walks with you," protested Carrie, "I can't
do that in a pencil skirt or a pretty dress, it would spoil them."
"Now remember the rule," said Jess in a pretend stern manner, "no
shorts or pants for Carrie. But don't worry we won't spoil your new
clothes; we are going to make skirts and dresses for having fun in the
countryside." She thought for a moment and said, "The advantage of
having you in skirts while we hike is that I will always have easy
access to that very well developed clitoris you are so fortunately
endowed with."
Fortunately the shops they were most interested in were all within
walking distance of each other so Jess suggested that they look in
each one and make a list of the skirts and dresses they liked. "Once
we choose your skirts then we can select the best tops," said Jess.
"Now there are two contrasting styles I am looking for," continued
Jess. "I want you in tight pencil skirts so I can admire your butt and
also being a little selfish I do like to see you a bit hobbled while I
am striding along confidently; sorry sweetie."
Carrie smiled. "That's OK Jess I can do hobbled for you."
Jess went on, "The other look I want is full skirts that will give
some swish as you walk. Again being just a little mean, I love seeing
you cope with a lot of skirt especially if it is a little breezy. Come
on Carrie admit that you like that feeling too."
"I don't like it Jess," said Carrie, "I absolutely love it. The only
time I didn't like it was when those idiots were drooling at us."
"Get used to it sweetie it's all part of being a woman," said Jess.
After 4 hours of concentrated shopping they had selected a high
necked, gun metal, pleated midi dress, a peach blossom wrap midi dress
and a polka dot Jacquard dress on a black background. They also bought
a Kensington floral full midi skirt, a very full red and cream pleated
skirt and a black pencil skirt. It took less time to select the tops
to compliment the skirts and by 4 o'clock they were beginning to flag
a little so they took afternoon tea in a nearby caf?.
"This is hard work," complained Carrie.
"But very rewarding," said Jess. "Don't worry you will get used to it.
Now we just need some shoes and I think we can call it a day. We are
here for 5 more days so we will be coming back for more."
They limited their shoe selections to a pair of 3 inch pumps, 2 inch
sandals and a pair of ankle boots.
"Not nearly enough," said Jess, "but it will get you started. Now
let's head home."
However on the way to the car they passed a sports shop and remembered
that Carrie did not have any shoes for walking. The shoes they liked
the most were some tennis shoes with a pink trim and a pair of casual
navy blue sneakers. On the way to the counter Jess suddenly went over
to the tennis section and came back with a peach coloured tennis
dress.
"I'd love to play you when you are wearing this with some frilly lace
panties," said Jess mischievously.
When they got home they collapsed in garden chairs with glasses of
wine and when partly recovered Carrie was sent upstairs to choose one
of the new outfits to wear for dinner.
Carrie returned wearing the Kensington floral skirt and a matching
top.
Jess embraced her. "Oh Carrie you look so wonderfully girlie; I just
adore you."
After another relaxing drinks and dinner at the pub it was back to the
cottage for more sewing instruction and much more love making.
The next day was warm but with a refreshing sea breeze and Jess and
Carrie decided it was ideal for sightseeing. They decided to visit
Corfe Castle an impressive ruined castle with an equally impressive
history. The previous evening before their passions took over Carrie
had managed to make another summer dress and Jess decided that this is
what she should wear on their excursion. ?It is cool and practical
Carrie,? said Jess.
?Then why aren?t you wearing one Jess?? asked Carrie.
?Because this week I wear the pants,? said Jess, who was wearing a
pair of light hiking slacks and a cotton shirt.
Corfe Castle was situated on a hill with a fine view of the Dorset
countryside. Although largely ruined it was easy to see its once
commanding presence over the land. They bought a brochure with a map
and began to tour the castle.
?It?s been a ruin since just after Charles the First was executed,?
said Carrie reading the brochure. ?Apparently it was the last
stronghold of the Royalists in Dorset and was under siege for a long
time. Lady Mary Bankes was commanding the Royalist forces as her
husband had been killed fighting for the king. Although she only had
80 men with her she was able to hold off much larger forces for a long
time until one of her one men betrayed her and she was forced to
surrender. Cromwell?s men were so impressed with her courage that they
allowed her to keep the keys of the castle.?
?Makes me proud to be a woman,? said Jess.
?I am proud to be your woman,? said Carrie giving Jess a hug.
?Let?s climb up to the top where we can enjoy the view,? said Jess.
They climbed up to the highest point of the castle. It had been partly
destroyed by the vengeful Parliamentary forces of Cromwell and where
they stood the once proud walls lay in a crumpled heap. Without the
protection of the castle walls they were exposed to a strong breeze
from the coast. Carrie gazed out over the countryside and sighed.
?Isn?t the view spectacular?? she said.
Jess who was positioned a little below Carrie replied, ?It is from
where I am looking.? Carrie turned and saw Jess staring at her dress
which was billowing upwards in the wind revealing her frilly white
slip and almost her panties. She hurriedly brought her flapping skirts
under control. ?Really Jess you are as bad as a teenage boy,? she
scolded.
?All part of your wonderful education sweetie,? said Jess, sniggering.
After completing their tour they had cream tea and scones at the
castle caf? and planned out the rest of their day. They drove down to
a point where they could join one of the coastal pathways and spent
the afternoon rambling aimlessly reveling in each other?s company.
Eventually they drifted back to the car and then to the cottage. Jess
took a bath while Carrie was relaxing in the garden with a glass of
wine. She emerged in a bathrobe and said to Carrie, ?Your turn darling
and then I want you in your prettiest dress, garter belt and seamed
stockings; I am taking you out to dinner in Exeter and then we will
see what happens.?
Half an hour later Carrie stood in front of Jess wearing the gunmetal
silver pleated midi dress. ?Well Miss Jess will I do?? she asked.
?You will do very well my darling,? said Jess smiling in delight. ?You
look spectacular, grab your purse and let?s go.?
?You aren?t going to wear a dress?? asked Carrie, a little
disappointed.
?Not tonight sweetie, I want all the attention on you,? said Jess who
was wearing a pair of black linen slacks and a cream blouse. They
started towards the door when Jess stopped and lifted Carrie?s dress.
?Carrie you aren?t wearing a slip,? she said in a shocked tone.
?I didn?t think I needed one with this dress,? said Carrie.
?You always wear a slip when I am taking you to dinner,? said Jess
firmly. ?Now quickly, upstairs with you and put your frilliest slip on
or you will spoil all my plans and fun.?
?Oh no, not more hilltop views,? Carrie groaned.
?Certainly not,? said Jess primly, ?I wouldn?t dream of it. Now off
you go or we will be late and miss our reservation.?
Carrie returned a few minutes later and Jess made a quick inspection.
?Much better,? she said. ?Now you look a proper lady.?
?I think you would prefer an improper lady,? said Carrie as she headed
to the car.
The restaurant was small and intimate with soft lighting. A lone
classical guitarist was playing haunting tunes and Jess and Carrie
immediately felt at ease. They ordered a bottle of Burgundy and sipped
it as they looked over the menu. They both chose the braised lamb with
small potatoes and vegetables. ?Here?s to you Carrie,? said Jess
raising her glass.
?No here?s to us,? responded Carrie.
?I can?t believe that I can have you and David,? said Jess dreamily.
?I can?t believe that I can be both Carrie and David,? said Carrie. ?I
can never thank you enough for making this possible.?
After Jess paid the bill she excused herself for a few moments and
left the restaurant. She returned 5 minutes later with a bag. ?I?m
just going to use the ladies darling, won?t be long.?
When she returned Carrie was startled at the transformation. Gone were
the linen slacks and silk blouse and in their place Jess was wearing
tight jeans, an AC/DC T-shirt and a leather jacket generously adorned
with metal studs. Her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail and
she wore heavy black eye makeup.
?Jess what on earth ...? began Carrie before Jess shushed him.
?Party time Carrie; I am taking you clubbing. ?No don?t worry,? she
said as Carrie looked alarmed. ?You will be completely safe with me.
We are going clubbing to a place Josie told me about. It?s called
Claws and it?s the local lesbian hangout in Exeter; no guys will be
there. We are going to dance and have a great time.?
?But aren?t I overdressed?? protested Carrie.
?Definitely not,? said Jess emphatically. ?I am the butch dyke and you
are my girlie girl, just the way I like you. Come on let?s get going.?
Once they reached the car Carrie asked, ?Jess where on earth did you
get that jacket; I have never seen it before??
Jess giggled. ?I started planning this as soon as I caught you. While
you were in the hair dressers I went to a charity shop and found the
jacket and T-shirt. Oh and I got you something as well.?
She handed a bag to Carrie and when she opened it she exclaimed, ?Jess
it?s beautiful, thank you.? Carrie held up a pink silk jacket that
perfectly matched the dress she was wearing.
Jess drove down the main street before turning into a side street
where they found parking. They could see a bright flashing light about
100 yards away and as they got closer could make out the outline of a
cat with an evil grin displaying a set of very sharp claws. A heavily
tattooed woman with green hair was doing door duty and she scrutinized
them carefully before nodding them through the door into a vestibule
where they paid an entrance fee and were pointed towards a set of
doors where they could hear the sound of loud music. The club was as
large as a medium sized movie theatre. There was a small stage where a
punk styled DJ was playing a variety of rock and pop music. To one
side was a bar and in the center the dance floor with tables
surrounding it. As it was a week night and fairly early the place was
not crowded and so they had no trouble finding a table far enough from
the stage that they could still talk.
?You sit here sweetie and I will get the drinks,? said Jess as she
headed to the bar. Carrie looked around a little nervously and took in
her surroundings. There were about 50 people, mostly couples but a few
who looked as though they were on the prowl for new talent; all were
women. A few wore dresses but most were in jeans or leather pants and
many had brightly dyed hair and multiple piercings.
?I haven?t seen you here before pretty girl,? said a voice behind
Carrie. She turned to see a startling looking woman in thigh high
leather boots, tight leather pants and waistcoat, with bare, brightly
tattooed arms, leering at her. ?Perhaps I can show you a good time
since you look like you are dressed for company; mind if I join you,?
the woman continued.
Before Carrie could respond she heard Jess say, ?Hands off sister,
this one?s taken and I don?t share.? The woman shrugged her shoulders
and muttered something under her breath as she moved away.
?Good timing Jess I wasn?t sure how to handle that,? said a relieved
Carrie.
Jess smiled, ?Well you haven?t had much practice sweetie; you are
still very innocent when it comes to designing women.?
?I fully intend to remain innocent,? replied Carrie primly.
They sat for a while taking in the scene and sipping their drinks
until the DJ, who was playing some golden oldies began playing ?Born
to be Wild,? by Steppenwolf, whereupon Jess grabbed Carrie by the arm
and dragged her out onto the dance floor. ?This one always gets my
motor running,? said Jess. ?Come on Carrie time to strut your stuff,
give that dress a twirl.?
Once on the dance floor the music seemed to galvanize both of them.
Carrie felt herself shaking her hips and waving her arms. When the
words, ?Fire all of your guns at once,? came, Jess grabbed Carries
arms and spun her around in a tight circle whooping in delight as
Carries dress billowed up revealing her lacy slip.
?So that?s why you wanted me in a slip,? said Carrie when the music
stopped. ?I might have known.?
?I can?t help it,? said Jess. ?The sight of your skirt swirling up and
your undies on display just fills me with lust.?
Just then Bruce Springsteen started on, ?Dancing in the Dark.? ?Well
you can just keep lusting,? said Carrie, ?let?s rock this one.?
After a few more numbers they headed back to their table and this time
Carrie went to the bar for drinks. The noise made conversation
difficult so they just sat holding hands until it was time to dance
again. It was getting late and they began to think about leaving when
the DJ played K D Laing singing Leonard Cohen?s Hallelujah.
Immediately they went onto the dance floor and Jess took Carrie into
her arms and began to slowly dance with her. The music and the
closeness of their contact stirred them both deeply and it was some
time after the song ended that they at last separated and headed
towards the exit.
?Are you OK to drive?? asked Carrie.
?No way,? replied Jess. ?I anticipated this and booked us into a local
hotel. I?ll call a cab and get them to bring 2 drivers so we have the
car for tomorrow.?
?But we don?t have any clothes or toiletries for the night,? said
Carrie.
?All covered darling girl; I packed a bag for both of us when you were
in the shower.?
?Clever, clever, girlfriend,? said Carrie admiringly.
They got to their hotel without incident and were soon in bed and
quickly drifting into sleep. They slept late and after making love
they lay in each other?s arms. ?Did you enjoy last night Carrie,?
asked Jess?
?I loved it,? replied Carrie. ?Dancing in a dress and feeling it
caressing your legs has to be the greatest feeling. I love the person
you have become Jess since we started this adventure.?
?What do you mean?? asked Jess.
?It?s not easy to put into words,? replied Carrie thoughtfully. ?You
have become much stronger, not that you were in any way weak before
but now I feel as though you are protecting me. That incident at the
building site and the woman in the club; I felt way out of my depth
and comfort zone in a way I never have before and you were there for
me. As Carrie I need your strength Jess, I really do. Thank you.?
Tears came to Jess eyes. ?Carrie that is the best thing you could
possibly have said to me; I love you so much.?
After a leisurely breakfast they drifted into town again a resumed
their shopping exploits of 2 days earlier. More shoes, more skirts and
more dresses until at last Jess was satisfied. ?That should keep you
going for a while Carrie darling and when you need more there is
always London.?
It was late afternoon by the time they drove back to their cottage and
they spent the rest of the day in the garden reading before once again
heading to the pub for dinner.
The next day there was a change in the weather. They had gone out for
a walk along one of the coastal paths when the wind picked up and they
sky began to darken. They hurried back towards the cottage but half a
mile away the clouds opened and by the time they reached their font
door both were soaked and shivering. They got into a hot shower
together and after dressing they made up a cheering log fire and sat
drinking hot tea. Jess looked out at the dark sky and said, ?This
looks as though it will last all day. I think we will send the rest of
the day sewing, there is so much more for you to learn.?
So they spent the rest of the day bent over the kitchen table as
Carrie practiced cutting and sewing with increasing confidence. Jess
was impressed at how seriously Carrie took these lessons and also how
quickly she picked up the basics. Of course she was still a beginner
but Jess felt that within another couple of weeks of practice Carrie
could play a helpful role in their dressmaking business.
The remaining days were spent with coastal walks and exploring the
surrounding countryside but all too soon it was time to head back to
London. They had Fran and Josie?s party to attend on the day they
returned so they decided to start early. Once home they found that
unpacking took much longer due to the amount of clothes Carrie had
bought. ?What should I wear tonight, I think it will be quite casual??
asked Carrie.
?I?m wearing jeans but you are wearing a nice dress. This will be your
coming out party and everyone will be looking forward to meeting you,?
said Jess firmly. ?Now Carrie into the shower because it will take you
a while to get ready.?
After showering and shampooing her hair Carrie put her makeup on
before looking carefully through her newly stocked closet for a dress.
She eventually settled on a contrast skirt dress which had a plain
black top with a contrasting skirt that featured colourful display of
birds and flowers over a white and grey background. ?Carrie that is
absolutely perfect,? enthused Jess. ?You really do make a very pretty
girl.?
?Don?t you mean woman?? teased Carrie.
?No darling you have to be a girl before you can graduate to womanhood
and you have only just begun your journey,? replied Jess.
When they arrived at Fran and Josie?s most of the other guests were
already present. They were all women friends of Fran and Josie and
most were there as couples. Fran and Josie greeted them with huge hugs
and once Fran had made sure everyone had a full glass she called for
everyone?s attention.
?Ladies I want to present our guest of honour Carrie. Carrie is a new
member of our sisterhood and this is her coming out party. So Carrie
welcome to our world, we will all give you our support and love.?
There were cries of greeting and encouragement from the group.
Josie asked, ?Well Carrie how was your first week as a woman??
Carrie laughed and said, ?Josie I detect a trick question. I am not a
woman and never will be; I am a very privileged white male who happens
to like wearing dresses and luckily has an amazing wife who loves me
wearing them. But I would never presume to know how it feels to be a
woman.?
This statement was met with a general murmur of approval from the
group. Carrie went on, ?However the last week has been amazing; it has
given me a glimpse into an entirely different world, the world you all
inhabit. It has taken me way outside my comfort zone and required me
to lean heavily on Jess who has been my savior. It has also showed me
what arseholes some men can be and the shit you women have to put up
with. It made me deeply ashamed and so very sorry.?
One of the women called Margot spoke up. ?Carrie I am blown away by
what you just said. I think you are quite right but nonetheless it
shows great insight and a lot of humility. It?s true that you are not
a woman but I for one welcome you as a honourary woman.?
Carries eyes teared up and she said, ?Thank you Margot that is the
nicest compliment you could pay me. I will try to live up to being a
honourary woman.?
This was greeted with a spontaneous round of applause and Carrie was
immediately mobbed by the group and hugged till she gasped.
Carrie and Jess were surrounded by a small knot of women who were
questioning them on their recent trip. When Carrie told the story of
Jess aiming her handbag with unerring accuracy into the groin of the
building worker there were huge guffaws of laughter that brought
everyone else over and Carrie had to repeat the story. This got the
party off to a very lively start and the mood continued from there.
Carrie found herself in conversation with Margot who she discovered
worked in finance in the city.
?So what do you and Jess do?? asked Margot.
?We both work 2 jobs,? replied Carrie. ?Jess is a dressmaker and also
works with British Airways.?
?Is she a pilot?? asked Margot.
?Not yet,? said Carrie, ?but she is close to getting her Commercial
Pilot?s license and then we have to apply and hope for the best. I
also work out at the airport and I have just started as Jess?s
apprentice, which is really challenging but great fun.?
?Well I plan to follow both of your careers with great interest,? said
Margot.
Carrie despite some initial nervousness found that she was thoroughly
enjoying herself and was delighted at how friendly the other guests
were towards her. Many of the women were from a professional
background and Carrie suspected that they were highly successful. She
was surprised when Jess told her that it was time to leave. ?David
will be back tomorrow and he will need a bit of time to adjust,? said
Jess.
?David,? said Carrie, ?I had forgotten all about him.?
?Well I haven?t,? said Jess, ?and I will give him a very warm
welcome.?
When they arrived back home Carrie checked her messages and found that
there was one from David?s dispatcher. She listened and then hung up.
?There has been a schedule change and David has to fly to Hong Kong
tomorrow evening.?
?I wish I was coming,? said Jess enviously. She thought for a moment
and then said, ?Please ask David to get me some white silk, actually
quite a lot, because I have an order for a special wedding dress and I
want enough to make the petticoat as well.?
?You had better write it all down, plus where he needs to get it,?
said Carrie.
?No problem,? said Jess. ?There is a site online with a code for the
exact fabric. It will be good training in buying for you, I mean
David.?
Before bed Carrie was careful to wash off all her makeup. She put on
her nightdress with some regret as she would not be able to wear one
while David was away. Sensing this, Jess made sure that their
lovemaking was especially passionate.
The next morning Jess was awake first and went downstairs to start
breakfast. Carrie woke 30 minutes later and began the process of
turning back into David. This mainly required him to wash his hair and
style it differently. He dressed in a navy coloured track suit and
went down to join Jess. Her eyes lit up when he entered the kitchen
and she rushed over to embrace him. ?Darling, I am so glad to see you,
welcome back. I can never thank you enough for sending Carrie to me
last week, it was unbelievably magical.?
?Don?t worry she?ll be back,? whispered David.
As the weather was still fine they decided on a walk by the river and
a pub lunch after which it would be time for David to head off to the
airport. They spent a wonderful morning together and it seemed to each
of them that they had fallen in love again. ?Our marriage was never
dull,? said Jess as they walked along a woodland path, ?But having 2
lovers without cheating certainly turbo charges my life.?
?Well it certainly keeps me on my toes, remembering which one I am,?
said David.
?You are who you have always been,? said Jess, ?a wonderful human
being. Do you feel different David??
?I feel more free; I feel that I do not always have to be in charge
and I feel your strength in a way I have never felt it before. It took
Carrie to make that happen,? said David slowly.
They made their way back to the car and Jess said, ?I have some
business near Heathrow this afternoon so I can drive you to the
airport.?
?What about when I get back next week?? asked David.
?I am returning from an overnight trip to Vienna; yes this time it?s
true. Our flights land at a similar time so we can go home together,?
said Jess.
They returned home for David to change into his uniform and collect
his luggage before Jess drove to the airport.
?What do you have to do near Heathrow?? asked David.
?I need to pick up a couple of new uniforms,? replied Jess.
Outside the terminal they hugged briefly before David disappeared into
the terminal and headed towards his dispatch center where he went
through the flight details with his crew. He was astonished to find
that one of the flight attendants was Josie. She greeted him with a
mischievous grin. ?Hello Captain Wilton I haven?t had the pleasure of
flying with you for a while,? she said.
?Josie it?s wonderful to see you; I am not usually on this route so
our paths don?t often cross but I am delighted to crew with you,?
replied David recovering quickly.
3 hours later the 747 climbed into the sky and headed east for Hong
Kong with a ver
