I stood outside my apartment door, dressed only in a coat and heels. I was trembling and sniffling. I was humiliated, ashamed and scared. The door to my apartment opened and my two friends were looking at me. They had to notice that I was wearing a coat, which I had not had when I left to do my dare.
Hands grabbed me and hustled me inside. I slumped against the wall as the door closed.
"What happened to you?"
I ignored them, still trembling, replaying the evening in my mind.
"Damn it, what happened?"
On shaky legs I walked to my living room and sat on my coach. I buried my face in my hands and began to sob. It took my friends at least fifteen minutes to calm me and to begin to drag the story out of me. I told them everything. I told them of the excitement that I initially had felt and then the fear and humiliation of being caught by Marianne. I told them what she had made me do, including masturbating the Hispanic cleaning man. I even told them that he had come on my face and breasts. They were goggle-eyed, not sure to believe me. They made me open the coat so they could see that it was all I had on. The only thing that really convinced them was how upset I was.
"Where is the camera?"
"Oh god, oh my god."
"What, tell us!"
"Oh god, Marianne has the camera, oh god."
I broke down, sobbing uncontrollably. This time I was unable to stop. My friends finally decided to leave, telling me to go to bed. I couldn't. I sat on the couch all night, alternately seeing myself humiliated, then dozing for a few minutes, then jerking awake. I shed many tears that night.
I watched the sun come up but it didn't cheer me. All I could think of was Marianne having that camera with all those pictures on it. I was glad it was Saturday. Two whole days to decide if I was going back to work at that place or if I would just stay home and not show up. Staying home was an infinitely better choice as far as I could see.
It was about 10AM when my phone rang. I was going to let it ring until hell froze over but then answered it. Marianne was on the line.
"Good morning slut. I just wanted to call and remind you that I have your camera and the pictures from last night. If you were thinking about not coming to work, I want you to think of what your parents would think of them. The one where your hand is on a cock with sperm on your face would be fairly interesting to them."
I started to bawl. My life had turned into a nightmare.
"Shut up and listen. You will be at work Monday. You will wear nice heels, stockings and my coat. You will come to my office immediately. If you do not, expect to hear from your parents."
"Marianne, please"
"Do as you are told. I will not listen to any begging or arguments. Do you understand?"
"Y-y-yes Marianne."
"Good. I will see you Monday morning."
I heard the phone hang up and then a dial tone. I began to cry all over again. I suffered through the weekend. I ignored the phone ringing all weekend after that. I spent most of the time wondering what she was going to do to me now. The hours dragged. I slept fitfully Saturday night and hardly at all Sunday night. I was a wreck when I had to get up to get ready for work.
As I got ready for work, I replayed her call in my mind. Wear heels, stockings and her coat I remembered. She really couldn't have meant that I convinced myself. After I had showered, fixed my hair and face I went to my closet to pick out my clothes. I took out my best suit, a skirt with a jacket and a nice blouse. I laid them on my bed and got out a very womanly bra, full underpants and a new pair of pantyhose. I dressed myself carefully and then checked myself in the mirror. I looked like a very professional businesswoman. I made sure that I brought her coat.
I left my apartment and drove to work carefully, slowly, but with increasing nervousness the closer I got to work. Parking, I slowly walked into the building like a prisoner going to be executed. I really didn't want to see Marianne. My steps got slower and slower the closer I got to the office.
But, finally I was there. I took a deep breath and entered. I went to my desk and put my purse in a desk drawer. I was early. I entered Marianne's office and hung the coat in her closet. Returning to my desk, I sat and rehearsed in my mind what I was going to say to Marianne to get the camera and pictures back. I did no work at all. At 9 o'clock Marianne and two men walked in. They greeted me, Marianne gazing at me with hard eyes, the two men who were from our regional office smiling. I was able to speak to them and not stammer although I felt like I was going to sick up. They went into Marianne's office and closed the door.
After 15 minutes or so the intercom buzzed. Marianne asked me in a cold voice to get some coffee and bring it in to them. I did. They were sitting at her conference table. I walked to it and set the coffee down.
"Will there be anything else, Marianne?"
"Yes, close the door and come back here."
My stomach lurched but I was proud of myself that I was able to walk steadily and did as I was told. When I had returned to the conference table I stood silently.
"What did I tell you to wear?"
I almost choked.
"Answer me!"
I looked at the two men, both of whom had seen me several times before. I turned bright red. I began to tremble.
"Um, ah, the ah, coat, stockings and heels."
I was blushing harder as the two men looked at me grinning. I looked at them quickly and then at Marianne, but couldn't hold her gaze. It was hard and steely.
"Why did you disobey me?"
"Um, ah, Marianne, you couldn't have been serious."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I wished I had been unable to talk.
She stared at me. I began to sniffle and shake.
"I expect to have my wishes followed exactly. You may dress now, here, as I told you."
"But I can't", I wailed.
"Why not?"
As stupid as it sounded I told her that I didn't have any stockings. She smirked at me and went to her desk. Getting a 20-dollar bill from her purse, she came back and handed it to me.
"Go downstairs and buy a pair of nice stockings and come back here immediately."
I didn't know what to say to that, so I only took the money and haltingly left her office. In a daze I went downstairs to the convenience store and picked out a pair of thigh highs. I slowly returned and knocked on her door. When she said come in, I entered and went to the closet to get the coat. The two regional office officers were grinning broadly at me. I was blushing a deep scarlet red. With the coat over my arm I started to leave.
