Lucy had the cab pull up to the curb of the post office; she had all her mail delivered here instead of at her home. She told him to wait while she exited and slowly walked up to steps and into the main lobby. Most of the male employees knew her and smiled; always eager to see her body. Today was no exception; she wore a curve fitting sheer silk dress that ended just at the top of her thighs and swayed delightfully as she walked.
Lucy was one of the few top paid escorts on the West Coast. Her body had not always been considered beautiful and she had gone to great lengths to change herself. When she had first moved west, she was overweight, plain, wore glasses and quiet. Since then, with the help of her friend and lover; Alice, along with the aid of plastic surgery, lasik, diet and exercise; she had become every man's dream date.
Her brown "mousy" hair was now a deep golden brown with lighter gold highlights. The overweight figure was developed into one that was slim and curvy. Lucy's breasts had been reduced from a C to a B as well as uplifted, firm and perky. No longer needing glasses; now her crystal blue eyes were bright and knowing; her tan covered her entire body.
*****
Lucy moved to the West Coast after graduation and was looking forward to starting a new life. She was sure she would land a great job and settle into a new career. Unfortunately, she noticed that no matter how well her interview went, the job always went to some beautiful girl with less experience. Six months into job searching saw her savings dwindling to almost nothing.
One day Lucy had just finished another interview and was waiting on an elevator. She already knew that she didn't get the position simply because there were just too many sexy beautiful girls in the room vying for the same job. She was almost in tears as she waited for the elevator to convey her to the downstairs lobby.
As she stood by the elevator with her head down in disappointment, she heard a door open at the end of the hall and then someone was standing beside her; she knew it was a woman from the four inch heels of her shoes. She glanced over to see yet another gorgeous woman. She was probably about five foot seven, brunette and dressed in a very short sexy dark blue dress.
The elevator finally arranged and both women entered.
"What floor?" asked Lucy.
"Lobby," said the brunette.
The elevator started its slow decent and then suddenly stopped. The lights flickered a moment and then went out.
"Probably just a brown out," said the woman. "Hope you're not claustrophobic?"
Lucy shook her head and then realized that neither of them could see. "Ah ... no, I'm not."
Alice could detect sadness in this stranger's voice. "Is there something wrong?" and she reached out to touch Lucy's shoulder and back.
Lucy heaved a great sigh, "I suppose you work here too." It seemed easier to talk to this stranger in the pitch black elevator. "I can't seem to find a job. I just can't compete with all you pretty women no matter if I better qualified. I'm almost out of money which means I'll have to go back home which is the last thing I want to do." Then Lucy lost it and started crying.
The woman moved up behind Lucy and wrapped her arms around the young woman, turned her around and let Lucy cry on her shoulder. "No, I don't work here. I was just meeting someone and now I'm leaving," she said soothingly to Lucy. "By the way, my name is Alice ... Alice Connors."
Lucy started sniffling back her tears. "I'm sorry I blurted out like that. My name is Alice Brown. I moved here six months ago sure to find a new life and career, but my parents weren't happy about it. Now all I get is a lot of 'I told you so' comments from them."
Alice smiled, "Say, once we get out of here, we'll go to my house. I think you need a friend right now; someone you can talk too."
Lucy didn't know why she would trust this stranger, but Alice's arms just made her feel safe and comfortable. She'd only made one other friend here of one of the tenants in her building, but knew she would be at work now. "Yes, I think I would like that," she said.
The lights suddenly came on and Lucy looked into Alice's blue eyes. Her first thought was that they were the same color as her own. She smiled and stepped back out of her arms. The doors opened at the lobby, both women exited and then Alice hailed a cab outside. Lucy noticed that the trip brought them to an expensive part of town with lots of high priced condos one of which was Alice's.
Lucy followed Alice inside and was again impressed with its beautiful furnishings. She thought Alice must be very rich to afford luxury like this. "You have a very beautiful place," commented Lucy.
"Thank you," said Alice. "How about some Irish coffee and we'll talk?" she asked.
Lucy didn't consume much alcohol, but didn't want to refuse this generous woman. "Yeah ...Ah, that'll be fine."
Alice made the coffees and brought them to the living room, sat on the couch and patted the place next to her. "So, what's your area of expertise?"
"I'm a Business Management major, but, so far, I don't have any work experience and no one seems to want to give me any," said Lucy and then took a sip on the coffee. It was strong and warming.
Alice listened as Lucy poured her heart out. Lucy didn't know why, but it just felt easy to talk with Alice. She also noticed that every time Alice touched her, her body was becoming sexually excited and this confused her as well. Being a virgin, she didn't have any experience with sex at all.
After about an hour and three coffees later, Lucy felt quite relaxed and comfortable. She gave Alice a warm smile, "Thank you Alice for hearing me out. I've only made one other friend while I've been here."
Alice reached over and gave Lucy a hug and then lightly kissed her on the lips.
Lucy was surprised by the kiss because it sent a surge of sexual excitement through her body. Her eyes got wide and she blushed.
"Have you ever considered changing your looks?" asked Alice.
