Part 3 The Friend
Carol was meeting Lucy for the first time in a month, normally they would meet weekly, but Arthur had taken up that time. Lucy had been her friend for over twenty years. As teenagers they had spent many evenings listening to LPs of the Osmond Brothers or David Cassidy on Lucy's little Dansette record player, gazing longingly at pictures of their latest pop heartthrob, and wondering what it would be like to "do it."
Lucy had been mentioned to Arthur in passing and he had told Carol to arrange a meeting with her. Arthur had selected Carol's clothing, prepared her, and had been very specific in his instructions. "Arrive five to ten minutes later than arranged so she has had the opportunity to sit down and see you walk into the café. Be totally truthful in all your answers to any question she asks you."
"Where have you been hiding?" Lucy asks as Carol sets her tray on the the table."No, let me guess, you have a new man."
"Yes, how did you know?"
"Take off your coat and turn around."
Mystified, Carol did so.
"Short skirt and seamed black stockings? I doubt you have dressed like that for me." Lucy stood and casually put an arm around Carol's waist, "You are wearing a corset, I thought you were standing straighter than normal," she whispered into her ear." I bet when you sit down you choose the softest seat for your freshly spanked backside and have to be careful not to show that you are knickerless. "
