"Hey Jenna, come in," Pete told her as he answered the door, "and don't forget to take off your shoes."
I walked in and slipped off my shoes, leaving them in the hallway. Pete kissed me on the cheek and walked me through into the living room where his parents were.
"You're ten minutes late," Pete's dad Jim retorted.
"Sorry, traffic, the bus was a little late too," I answered.
He frowned at me but then asked if I wanted a drink as he walked to the kitchen to put the kettle on. He poured coffees and bought them in, one for me and one for his wife Sarah, Pete's mum. He frowned again as I went to put my mug down on the coffee table without using a coaster. Only recently having moved in, I was still getting used to their little customs.
The house was immaculate as normal. Sparkling white walls always looked like they were freshly painted, and the new super fluffy beige carpet in the living room (the reason for not wearing shoes) contrasted wonderfully against the oak furniture. I understood at times why Pete's parents seemed so strict, they just wanted things perfect.
I thought at first they hadn't liked me due to my past. Pete had been brought up to follow rules, to behave properly, I however had been a bit of a wild child for a year or so, mellowing now I was with Pete. From having sex the day after my eighteenth birthday at a surprise party thrown for me, I'd developed an urge to try different things sexually, usually with different people.
I always tried to go out of town, finding bars a few miles from home and had gotten quite accustomed to blowjobs and quickies with random pickups, either in the toilets there or stopping outdoors before we got back to whoever's lucky night it was. A few times we'd been caught and it had turned me on, so much so that I'd taken to masturbating in public a few times if there had been nobody worthy in the bar. Being caught always ended up with a 'bribe' of a handjob or blowjob not to alert others. If they were particularly good-looking, it would be more on offer.
I changed when I met Pete, ironically at one of said bars. He'd been with friends, my group and his had started chatting with each other, and eventually, we realised we were sitting in a booth alone and hadn't noticed all of the others had left. We'd been talking for over three hours and I liked that he was interested in me, and had taken a taxi home with me and made sure I got home safely before giving me his number.
I learned to be more tolerant, of course, he didn't mind if I started wanking him in the cinema, but he wasn't with me just for sex like I'd got accustomed to from men. He bought me little presents, took me dining in nice restaurants, and his parents took to me too, once I'd been fine-tuned a little more of course. I started wearing dresses more rather than my usual t-shirts with jeans or skirts, started wearing heels rather than trainers, and started generally behaving better.
"Are we still going shopping tomorrow?" Pete asked, nudging me as he had said it once already.
"Oh, I wasn't going to now, I have no money left," I answered.
"No news on the job front then?" Sarah asked.
"No, maybe I'm being a little picky or just don't want to stumble into something low-paid," I answered.
"I'm sure something will come up soon," Sarah said, "here's fifty pounds, spend it wisely, you can keep any change if that dress you wanted is cheaper."
I thanked her and took the money a little too quickly.
"Right, early night, I have a very early start tomorrow," Jim announced," no noise later."
I knew from that remark, and from a previous conversation I'd overheard, that he meant for us not to have sex. Sarah looked at me and smiled nervously seeing that I'd understood what Jim had meant. Then I told her that I'd load the dishwasher to thank her for feeding me. She smiled again and told me thanks and she was sorry for Jim being a little uptight.
Shopping turned out to be joyous, I'd found a nice black number reduced in a sale, and still had twenty pounds left over. Although I'd saved some cash, Pete still insisted on buying food and booked a taxi home too. We got back and I showed Sarah the dress, who said it would compliment my curves nicely, then blushed as she said it.
I agreed. With 34C breasts and a slim waist and a peachy arse, I had a very good hourglass shape. Back in the day, this kind of dress would have been perfect for my bar visits, showing off my curves without being too slutty. The V-neck front reached almost to my cleavage, meaning any forward leaning showed more flesh off. It reached halfway down my legs, normal enough but sitting down meant it riding up and exposing my thighs.
We'd settled down to eat soon after Jim had come back from work. He seemed a little offish, more so than normal. Sarah glanced at him a few times before biting the bullet.
"Are you okay dear? Work problems?" she asked him
"You know Dad can't talk about it," Pete muttered.
"So so," Jim said, "my work intern walked out today, we had a disagreement so to speak. A pity as I thought she was going to work out for the best."
"Oh that's a shame, I'm sure you'll find somebody else," Sarah told him.
I knew a little of what Jim did. I knew it was some kind of office, something to do with the government, and he couldn't talk much about his job as they'd signed non-disclosure agreements. I'd joked with Pete about him being a spy, but Pete had laughed and said he was always at the office so wasn't a very good spy.
"Jenna is looking for a job," Pete suddenly blurted out.
The table went quiet, Jim looked at Pete and then at me. He took another mouthful of food, chewed and swallowed it, and then looked at me again.
"Stand up. There, by the side of the table where I can see you," he ordered.
Sarah told him I hadn't finished my food and he glared at her. I stood and went to where he'd pointed, slouching.
"Stand correctly, upright. Arms by your side. Hmm, you'll need to dress better than that. Can you type or take notes quickly?"
"Erm, yes, I've done shorthand before, at one of my previous jobs, I had to type up the notes afterwards," I told him.
"Jeans and a t-shirt are no good though, can't have shoddy standards, people will judge me on how you look too," Jim muttered.
"Jenna, go and put on the dress you bought today, that should do it," Pete exclaimed excitedly.
Jim nodded and I wandered upstairs, putting on the dress and going back down. They'd started eating again, and I went and stood in the same place. Jim ignored me until he'd swallowed, then looked up. His eyes wandered up and down my body, a faint hint of a smile on his face, and nodded to himself.
"Nice, a better look, acceptable. The white bra isn't though, black bra under that dress, or no bra at all," he said without emotion.
I glanced at Sarah and Pete to see if they had heard the no bra comment, both were just smiling at me. Jim wrote on a piece of paper and slid it across the table towards me.
"You look like you're still wondering whether to accept. The starting salary," he said, nodding to the paper.
I slid it from under his fingers, read it, and then gasped loudly. The figure was around three times what I'd been paid at my last job. I smiled broadly.
"Yes, I'd love the job please," I grinned.
"It's not easy, and you'll have to sign the same non-disclosure everybody else does. You need to dress more secretarial to work with me, dresses, or skirts and blouses, do you have many?" Jim said.
"A few, not many," I said quietly.
"You start on Monday, 9 am sharp. I start earlier, so I can't give you a lift in, it will look unprofessional too," he said, "and here's £200 pounds. Sarah can take you shopping again tomorrow and help pick some clothes out, she knows my taste."
I thanked him as he stood and left the table without saying another word. I beamed at Pete, and Sarah smiled at me from across the table.
"I'll clear the table and load the dishwasher to say thanks then shall I?" I laughed.
Shopping the following day was again very productive, the same shop I'd bought the dress from still had a sale on, and I got more items with the money than I'd been expecting. Sarah had been great, helping me with colour choices, and also what colour underwear for underneath too. She'd been with me in the changing room too, and I got the sense she enjoyed what she saw too, even joking that if Pete liked the black underwear set as much as she did then I'd be a very lucky girl. She'd even joked it would be better to show him when Jim wasn't in, winking and laughing.
It was a little weird at first, Sarah watching me undress and try on different items, but by the end, I was getting a little kick out of it and not turning my back as she was blatantly staring at my firm breasts. I did however pull a face when she made me buy heels, saying that I couldn't always wear flats. I reluctantly agreed, telling her that I'd have to spend the weekend practising walking in them.
Later that night, after Jim had gone to bed, I walked back downstairs where Pete was watching TV, after putting on the black undies. Sarah was right, Pete did enjoy them, and I had to use the thong to bite on to not wake Jim up.
The weekend seemed to fly by, I was still a little tentative in my heels, too much so to wear them on my first day. I was at work at 8.50 am and got shown to a room to watch a slide show, health and safety procedures and such, then some paperwork for payroll. The final document was the non-disclosure which I was told had to be signed before I could walk around the building.
I tried looking around while being escorted to where I was working, but most windows had blinds closed so I couldn't see too much. I was eventually introduced to Kelly, Jim's personal assistant, and left with her. She sat me on a desk and left me some paperwork to type up, and then showed me where to file them. She wandered off for a few minutes, then said I had to go with her. We walked towards a large door and she knocked, then pushed the door open.
