I knew it was late when I entered the store, but I had hoped maybe the clerk would let me browse around while she closed the shop. My girlfriend Cathy's birthday was tomorrow and she told me she would like something sexy to wear in the bedroom. We had been going out for nearly three months and I didn't want to screw up by not having a gift for her on her special day. I've always been a procrastinator and I was hoping that it would catch up to me later, rather than sooner.
It was 8:57 pm when I asked the clerk if I could stay past the store's 9pm closing time. She hesitated at first, but when I explained my dilemma, she admitted that she had a few tasks to finish up after she locked the doors. I thanked her, and I promptly looked up to scan the store for my target purchase. Obviously, I was interested in some lingerie, which was the shop's primary fare. But I could also tell that it offered other items, like sex toys, magazines and videos. There was even a video screen in that section that appeared to be playing sample scenes from adult movies. She let it play as she went about her tasks and I went about mine.
I began to browse the many racks of sexy apparel, occasionally looking up to see what the clerk was doing. I noticed her putting some objects in a box. They looked like an assortment of sex toys that were out of their packaging. I guessed that they were probably samples that customers could examine. She took the box to the back and returned shortly.
This was a new experience for me. I had never gone to a store like this to buy lingerie. I've never bought lingerie before, but now that Cathy was serious about wanting some it seemed a no-brainer. Cathy was a very sexy brunette with medium length hair and a slim build. Her breasts weren't huge, but they were full and complemented her figure very well. I thought to myself that if anyone were in the store they would think I was completely ignorant if I looked half as lost as I felt.
I looked up again and saw that the clerk was just standing behind the counter watching the video screen. The scene showed a tall, sexy brunette in a lace bra with matching panties. She was doing a strip tease that was so hot I expected the screen would melt in seconds. I continued to browse, but would often glance up to see the stripper's progress. Eventually, she had removed all her clothes and was touching herself in every place imaginable. I heard the clerk sigh as she reached under the counter and turned off the video. For a moment I wondered why she was so taken by that scene. I quickly put the thought out of my head and resumed my browsing.
After a minute or so, I heard her speak to me.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I was hoping you would ask", I replied. "I've never bought lingerie before and I want to get the perfect set for Cathy."
As she spoke, I gathered from the nametag she was still wearing that her name was Audrey. "You'd be surprised at how many guys come in here that need help finding something for their lover. I think I've gotten pretty good at suggesting the right piece for them."
"Well, it looks like I'm in the right place, then. I'd really appreciate your help," I said.
"First off, what does Cathy look like?"
As I thought about the answer I began to size Audrey up for the first time. "The funny thing is, she looks a lot like you!"
And I really meant it. I was shocked to notice that Audrey had about the same build and hairstyle as Cathy. They weren't identical twins or anything but I'd swear they could pass as sisters.
"Yeah, right! I can't look that much like her!", Audrey exclaimed. "No, really. Look at her picture." I opened my wallet and showed her Cathy's picture to which she said, "I guess I owe you an apology. I see the resemblance". "No apology necessary. Now what do you recommend?"
"I think I have just the thing." She reached over to an adjacent rack and showed me this black, lacy bra-and-panty set. It looked familiar and I realized it was very similar to the one the stripper was wearing in the video. I took it from her and examined it. I had to admit that I liked it, but there was one problem. "It's very nice, but it's hard to tell if it will look good on her."
"Hmm. Yes, I see your point." She looked down at the set and I swore I saw a subtle grin appear on her face as she began to speak. "I've never done this before but there is one thing we could do". I replied, "Really? What's that?" "Since I look like her, I could put it on and you could see how it might look." I thought about it a moment and said, "That's a great idea! Are you sure you don't mind?" "No, not at all. In fact, I've always thought it might be fun to model. This could be like an audition! C'mon. Follow me to the back." I did as she said and followed her to the back of the store. On the way, she turned off the main set of lights, leaving only the lights near the dressing room, which was adjacent to the storeroom. I noticed a makeshift office there, with a desk and chair.
"Wait there by the desk while I slip this on." Audrey disappeared into the little stall and I sat in the chair by the desk. There was an open box sitting there, so I curiously peeked into it. It appeared to be the unpackaged sex toys Audrey put away earlier. They were mostly vibrators and dildos. I looked a few of them over until I heard Aubrey emerge from the dressing room. I looked her direction and was amazed by how sexy the bra-and-panty set looked on her. It was even better than I had originally anticipated. There was plenty of light, so I knew my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Her breasts were round and firm. The lace material allowed me to see the faint image of her nipples. Likewise, I could make out her pubic hair behind the panty. She appeared to have a small patch there, indicating that she regularly trims her pubic region.
