When O Met Rene
A PREQUEL TO THE STORY OF O
The young man smiled at the chaotic scene before him. He had never been to a fashion show before and he was fascinated by the props, lighting, and many other functions that made the show come together. His eyes focused on the models most of all. It was hard to believe that the material he had seen in boxes only a short time before was now about to be displayed as elegantly as the clothes they had become.
"Rene, you made it!" Rene turned to see his friend Alphonse coming toward him.
As usual he was carrying a clipboard in one hand and a pager in the other. In another life, Alphonse joked, he had probably been a juggler in a king's court.
"Yes, thank you for the invitation." It is fascinating," said Rene.
They talked for a short while until Alphonse apologized and spoke.
"I really have to run Rene so please excuse me for deserting you. I have a million things to do before the show starts."
"That's quite alright," joked Rene. "I'll just enjoy the scenery."
"Alphonse laughed. OK, as long as you remember that the "scenery" has to work."
Alphonse left with a wave of his hand and Rene once more scanned the room before him. As he looked from here to there, he noticed a young woman who did not seem to be one of the models.
Amid the frenzied preparation, she seemed to be the only one, other than him, who was not busy with some tasks. She was looking at the models and peering through a small device.
"What is that about, thought Rene?
He decided to go over and see her and investigate this strange behavior. Rene looked on as the woman began to set up photographic equipment. Her behavior made sense now. She had been planning the shots she was to take. Suddenly, her camera was pointed at him.
" Smile," she said with an impish grin.
Rene acceded to her request quite happily. The young woman giggled as she took more photos of him, stopping every couple of shots to adjust the settings on her camera. Eventually she was satisfied with the results and put the camera back in its case.
"My name is O" she said, as she offered her hand.
"Rene, I'm pleased to meet you.' "What does the O stand for?" asked Rene.
"Odile," she replied. "When I was a girl my best friend was also named Odile, so I was O, and she was Odile. "It kept things from getting confusing," O explained.
"I hope you don't mind that I took those photos of you. I can let you have them if you wish." "I usually have to bother poor Alphonse".
"Alphonse is the one who invited me here" exclaimed Rene, "He's one of my best friends".
"I have known him many years," said O, "He has spoken of a friend of his in the import- export business. Is that you"?
"Yes, that's what I do," replied Rene.
Rene sat with O, as she snapped photo after photo of the models. As the showing continued, Rene watched O move with precision. He also became aware that, except for the fact that she was dressed in a conservative and practical fashion, O could have easily been on the runway herself.
"By the way, I don't want those photographs back but how about I charge a modeling fee? Will you have dinner with me, asked Rene?
"Oh, I can't tonight. Alphonse is having his party" Why don't you come?
Alphonse appeared at that moment and was genuinely delighted to see the two of them talking to one another.
"Alphonse, I asked Rene to your party." "Is that alright," asked O, as she hugged his arm.
"As if I could refuse you anything," laughed Alphonse,
"Actually, you just beat me to the punch. I was coming over to ask him."
Rene laughed, "In that case I would be delighted." I will let the both of you get back to work. I'll pick you up at 9 O'clock O."
"Great, let me give you my number", said O.
At 9pm. Rene knocked on O's door and smiled as he saw the transformation, she had made from her work clothes into a stunning party dress. Rene held the door open for O as she entered the taxi. When she settled in her seat, Rene gently turned O towards him and kissed her. O's eyes lit up as she succumbed to another deeper kiss from Rene.
Rene smiled and said, "We had better behave ourselves or we will never make it to the party."
At the party, the two of them were in their own world. They barely acknowledged other people and only danced with each other. The party was in full swing when Rene decided to make polite goodbyes on their behalf. Alphonse smiled as the two of them left; he was surprised they had stayed this long they were so obvious.
When O opened the door to her apartment, she waited for Rene to take her in his arms. Rene, however, went and sat leisurely on the couch and looked at her. He sat there a long while studying her, without saying a word. O was dumbfounded by this behavior on his part and waited for him to say or do something. She found this examination very disconcerting.
Rene smiled and patted the seat beside him on the couch. O sat and Rene lifted her chin and kissed her on the lips. It was a soft kiss at first until it became more insistent, and O was dizzy when Rene released her from the embrace. He slowly undressed her, stopping to kiss and caress her as she became exposed to him. Rene kissed her as he removed O's bra. O's nipples were hard little points. Rene delighted in alternately, licking and sucking on them and gently massaging them with his fingers. O was dripping and aching with need. She quickly pulled off her sodden panties.
"Spread your legs O."
O cried out with pleasure as Rene's fingers entered and withdrew from her wetness. She screamed out in pleasure as Rene's thumb gently massaged her clitoris. Rene gently kissed her and wrapped her in a blanket. He then got up and left.
O laid there in the dark and thought about what had just occurred. She had experienced incredible pleasure but, was dumbfounded that Rene had not asked her to caress him at all. In fact, she now realized, he had stripped her naked but had only removed his jacket. In her reveries, O thought about being cradled in his arms and his fingers massaging her sex. O almost succumbed to the urge to caress herself but, she resisted as she disliked doing so.
The next day O fidgeted with equipment to keep her mind occupied, but her heart skipped a beat every time the phone would ring. However, none of the calls were from Rene. In the late afternoon, a bouquet of roses was delivered with a note that read as follows.
My dearest O:
I find it impossible to put into words the pleasure that I experienced with you last evening. I would like very much to see you again on Friday. Here is my number. I will pick you up at eight pm.
Rene
O breathed in the scent of the roses and felt elated at the prospect of seeing Rene. She felt like a child waiting for a promised outing.
When Friday evening came O picked out the most risquΓ© lingerie that she had. She hoped that Rene appreciated her efforts to please him. At precisely eight pm. Rene knocked on the door and smiled as he complimented her on how lovely she looked. They spent the evening strolling along the Boulevard, stopping in stores and cafes. Rene regaled O with stories of the many foreign countries he had been to and O made him laugh with some of the petty gossip in the fashion world. One of the stores they went by was a lingerie shop. Rene insisted that they go in. Once in the shop, he ignored the standard models and led O by the hand towards the more risquΓ© fashions. Rene picked up a shelf brassiere. The intent of this garment was to lift the breasts but, leave the nipples exposed. O blushed at the very thought of wearing one. Rene smiled at her. He called over the shop assistant and said to the young lady.
"I would like my friend to try this on. Would you be kind enough to assist her. We wish to look at several models."
