Alex went back to work and Kelli settled in. She wasn't moved in, exactly. This was more like a trial run. Besides she felt safer with Alex. So she cleaned the house and did laundry. She felt very domesticated as she did the housework totally naked except for an apron. She wasn't to answer the door unless she knew who it was. She kept a sundress by the door, just in case.
Alex cooked for them and they spent long evenings talking and exploring each other. Kelli would sit naked at his feet learning all there was to know about her Master and in turn he knew all about her. There were no mysterious phone calls or emails or anything else. They relaxed and enjoyed each other.
Thursday Kelli decided to go shopping for a dress for Saturday night. She wanted something that made her feel sexy and confident, but that still said submissive. Not an easy task. She was feeling frustrated, so she stopped at a café for some coffee. She was checking her phone for messages when she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Martha. Robert stood behind her carrying several bags.
"Darling, how wonderful! What are you doing?" Martha trilled.
"Hello Martha," Kelli replied, "Just taking a break from shopping."
"Shopping? But you don't have any bags! It must not be successful," Martha sat herself down, "What are you shopping for?"
A little annoyed and a little embarrassed Kelli told her about her pursuit of a dress for Saturday. Martha was very excited. She offered herself as a guide to find the perfect dress.
"You'll never find anything here!" Martha exclaimed, "However, if you'll come with me, I know just the place!"
Kelli agreed and finished her coffee. They set off at a brisk walk with Robert following behind. Martha linked arms with Kelli and began telling her about preparations for the party. Kelli lost track of where they were. They turned up a street that she didn't recognize and Martha stopped in front of a brownstone with a brass name plate that said "Madame Toussard's. by appointment"
"We don't have an appointment," Kelli said.
"I always have an appointment," Martha said and rang the bell.
The door was open by a young woman who smiled when she saw Martha. "Bon jour, Martha! What brings you to me today?"
"Hello Louisa, my young friend here needs a dress for Saturday night and I told her that you have exquisite taste."
"Of course, come in. You are very pretty! And you have a lot of curves, I think I have the perfect dress for you!"
Kelli followed Louisa up the stairs to a sitting room. There was a rack of dresses which Louisa went straight to. She pulled out a lavender dress. It had a plunging neck line, crisscross straps across the back, and a short full skirt.
"Try this on!" Louisa commanded.
Kelli took the dress and seeing that they expected her to try it on right there, took a deep breath and stepped out of her clothes and into the dress. She thought it looked lovely. It was the prettiest thing she had tried on all day.
"No, it's not right!" Louisa said, shaking her head. Martha nodded her agreement. Louisa pulled another dress off the rack, "Try this one!"
Kelli took the teal blue strapless dress and stepped into it. It was higher in the front than in the back. The color looked beautiful on her and she felt sexy.
"Now, that's it!" Louisa said approvingly.
"I love it!" Martha gushed.
