Molly was stressed out. Working a full time job while simultaneously taking night classes tended to have that effect on people. With the little time off she had, she often spent it cooped up in her apartment watching TV or browsing the web. During one of her searches, she came across a nearby boutique that had just opened in her area that claimed to specialize in a new facial scrub and body wrap combo that was guaranteed to be unforgettable. To Molly, it sounded like the perfect type of thing to get all the stress out of her system. If only she had the time...
A few weeks passed, and Molly continued about her busy routine. One Friday evening she was just finishing up her work for the day and checked her email. Her professor had sent out a message that there would be no class that night due to illness. This is exactly what Molly needed. She immediately pulled up the nearby boutique on her phone to check the hours they were open. They would be closing within an hour, cutting things a little close, but maybe they'd still have an opening Molly could squeeze into. She called the listed number, and a domineering woman answered.
"Alana's Boutique! This is the owner Alana speaking. How can I help you?"
"Hi! I apologize for this being so last minute, but is there any chance you'd be able to squeeze me in for one of your signature wraps and facials I read about? I know you're about to close for the day, but some rare free time just opened up for me and I would kill for some relaxation."
"Not a problem at all! We actually do have an opening right before closing for the week. Could I just get your full name to mark you down for the reservation?"
"Molly Hinks."
"Perfect, Molly. I'll see you soon!"
"Great, thank you!"
The two hung up. Molly smiled to herself, for she finally had something to look forward to in her busy life. Alana smiled to herself, for she had something to look forward to as well as she pulled up photos of Molly online.
"Perfect," they each said to themselves.
Molly soon arrived at Alana's Boutique and noticed she was the only person in the front reception area.
"Hello...?" she called out.
Suddenly a strikingly beautiful woman strode out from the back room.
"Oh, hello! I'm Alana, the owner of the boutique. I apologize for things looking so sparse. We just recently opened, so business has been a little slow to start."
"No problem at all! Are you the only one running the place?" asked Molly.
"Yes, of course. I'm giving new clients my own personal touch and hoping word of mouth will get business picking up over time so that I can hire more staff. Believe me, after I'm through with you, you'll be begging for more," Alana said with a wry smile.
Molly merely blushed. Alana began striding over toward Molly and flipped the sign on the door from "Open" to "Closed."
"You got here just in the nick of time," said Alana. "You'll be my last client for the week, and I'm so glad I got to squeeze you in. Shall we?" Alana lifted her hand toward the back room, indicating where they were headed.
"Oh, uh, of course," replied Molly.
Alana followed the plucky woman into the main boutique room. Molly scanned her surroundings. The room was rather sparse, with a few padded benches and padded chairs all lined up in a row. Alana walked up from behind Molly and handed her a white fluffy towel.
"For the full wrap procedure, I'll need you to take off all of your clothes to get the full effect. Go ahead and change in the back room." Alana pointed toward a changing room in the back corner. "Don't be shy! It's just us two girls."
Molly blushed again. A few minutes later she stepped out of the changing room in nothing but a towel.
"Right this way! Go ahead and have a seat," Alana cheerily said and pointed toward one of the padded benches. Next to it was a wheeled tray carrying rolls of what looked like a green coated saran wrap along with various bottles and tools.
Molly stepped over and sat down on the bench. It was surprisingly comfortable.
"That's it, dear. Just relax. Let your mind at ease. I'll walk you through the whole process as we go. First we'll start with my signature wrap mix. Unfortunately I'll need you to remove that towel so that the wrap can have its full effect all over your body. Again, dear, please don't feel nervous. It's just the two of us in here, and I'll be the last to judge. Besides, once we have you wrapped up you'll practically be clothed again."
"A...alright," whispered Molly. She felt very shy about showing off her body like this, but this was just another woman after all. And this was Alana's profession. She probably deals with this stuff all the time. So, after taking a deep breath, Molly stood up and removed her towel.
Alana smiled to herself and grabbed one of the wraps sitting next to them on the tray.
