"Lukas?"
Miki Lee curled up into the plush interior of the Limo. She hadn't heard from her online advisor in over ten minutes. Even though her day had gone off without an arrest for indecency she found herself unable to function without him. The more she got away with the more she worried. One second she was fearless the next terrified of her future.
Her Limousine driver "Matthew" had isolated her with privacy behind the one way glass between he and the rest of the vehicle. That and he probably had a hard time driving without eying her nudity.
"Lukas?"
She tries again as if talking to herself again. Still no answer. Was he having troubles communicating with her from wherever he was? Had he abandoned her? Worse yet, had he been discovered for his illegal actions. Commandeering the airwaves and public camera footage. Preempting the local Police Department was certainly bad. As was her using false identification which the Cops confirmed as truth. The one thing that really bothered her was his money siphoning from so many unsuspecting people out there. Her own bank account was over a hundred thousand dollars thanks to Lukas. If the IRS discovered that she would be in a world of hurt. Then she considered her Father and what her deeds might do to him. Too bad this was so much fun. Was the game over already?
Utilizing her cell she dials her Credit Union and checks her bank account. She was still rich. He hadn't taken it away from her. For now she fret. She didn't truly know Lukas. So far he had been on the up and up with her. Every promise fulfilled. Where was he?
Peering out the window she suspected her ride was almost over. Ready to arrive she began to sweat. All along the street were Jewelry stores and Fashion outlets. High end fashion at that. Almost Rodeo Drive but not.
As Matthew slowed down to pull alongside a curb she decides to put her tight red dress back on befitting a proper exit. Shoes quickly slipped on she sat ready. Nervously. She recalled how Britney Spears must have felt when the Paparazzi snapped pictures of her snatch as she left her vehicle. More than once. Fashion malfunctions were a daily consequence when a celebrity. Miki Lee certainly felt like one. She wanted the world to see her. Yet, until she knew for certain she was safe she would keep concealed as best as she could. Mostly.
The glass window hushed down between she and her driver. Twisting in his seat Matthew eyed her.
"Destination right on time, Ms. Natchios." He refers to her by her assumed name that Lukas had given her as protection.
"Thank you My White Knight."
With a smirk he exits his drivers seat and steps around the car to let her out. Opening the door he gleamed at her beauty. For his charm she chose to step out slowly letting her skirt ride high. This gave him the opportunity to spy upon her juicy pink pussy in all of its glory. Standing on the curb she pats his cheek winking.
"Keep the motor running. And, your mind in the gutter. Back soon Sweet Knight."
He takes his time shutting the door behind her departure. He wanted to absorb her every wiggle Miki's tight little ass had to offer. That was literally forty feet away until she reached the massive warehouse known as "Fetish's" Eying herself in the window she spots Matthew still watching and giggles. Turning halfway to face him she flutters her fingers.
"You can close the door now. While I open this one."
Blowing the man a kiss he grins from ear to ear.
"Yes Ma'am!" He chuckles and finally shuts the door and whistles under his breath.
Entering the warehouse Miki drops her jaw at what she finds within. The warehouse was packed with Mannequins of every size, shape, color, and sex. Some wearing provocative lingerie, leather accents, down to simple undies like boy shorts. Each Mannequin was contorted differently with actual expressions on the faces. It was almost like stepping into a wax museum. Emotions were unmistakable. Each designed with individual personality. Be it bashful, energetic, playful, erotic, or all out lust.
"Blown away." She utters standing frozen in time.
"Those are in the back." Expelled a feminine yet gruff voice to her left.
Miki follows the voice to see a stunning woman of 5'7. 6'1 with heels. She had long straight golden brown hair almost down to the middle of her back.
"Pardon?" Miki appeared bewildered.
The woman sighs loudly with a thin smile, "The B.J. Mannequins. They're behind the Glory Hole wall."
"Oh!" Miki giggles.
The woman wore too much make-up Miki decided with an awkward expression of contemplation. Her burgundy dress short to show off long tight legs. She wore a feather boa over her cleavage which was rather small. They studied one another intently. Finally the woman placed a well manicured nail over her Botox induced lips.
"Are you here for the job?"
Shocked Miki shivers, "No. Here to spend money."
"Pity." The woman winks, "You might have increased my sales."
Miki winks back, "Thanks for the Ego boost."
Sharing warm smiles Miki is distracted suddenly by her cellphones ping from within her clutch purse. Holding a finger up toward the woman she quickly retrieves. Noting the text she sighs with relief.
"Excuse me for just a moment. I have to reply to this." Miki steps away to text back.
"Maestro. Where have you been?"
"Shit. Showered. Shaved. I needed it. You don't need me every second." He replies.
She shudders at the thought, "Don't say that. I can't do any of this without you."
Changing the subject Lukas writes, "You do realize the woman you're talking to is a man, right?"
Her eyes bulge wide, "What? No way."
"Adam's apple. Fake chest. Research on my part."
"Oh well! I'm open minded. She. He seems nice."
"He owns Fetishes. His name is "George Poragono". Alias, "Charmin Peters". His cross dresser name."
She snorts slightly at the name realizing it obviously meant Charming Peters, "You hush, Mister Maestro. Let me shop."
Turning on her heel she shares a devastating smile of held breath. Hand extended she dances on her toes nervously, "Hi. Elena Natchios."
The cross dresser warmly shakes her hand patting it with her opposite palm, "Charmin". No need to be coy. I am what I am."
"I'm sorry if I gave you a strange vibe. Totally respectful of your choices. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Likewise Elena. How can I help you?"
Miki fidgets looking around her, "For starters I need Stiletto heels. Lots of sexy undies. Bikini's. Toys." She bubbles suddenly and motions with her hands, "One of everything."
"Oh My! Retirement here I come." She/he glows, "That sounded so dirty."
Laughter erupts between the two as Charmin takes Miki by the arm, curling her own around it. From there they stepped into the Sanctuary.
While strolling Miki looks about for cameras. She knew Lukas was watching. She needed to know from where for her future fashion show. Along the way she admires various garments pointing to the ones she loved. Charmin kept a mental note of each and every one. She was a Designer after all. Not too mention an Artist.
Very few customers were within the Warehouse. That settled her nerves slightly, yet bothered her just the same. It was a shame Charmin's work was going unnoticed.
Mid way through the gauntlet of Mannequins they heard noises hiding amid them. Seeing the cause Miki smiled, "You already have an Employee."
"That's Lawrence. Isn't he to die for?" Charmin hisses in a whisper up close to Miki's cheek.
"Do all of your Employee's go shirtless?'
"But of course. Eye candy sells."
"So if I would have been here for the job application and you hired me?"
"Oh Honey. You would definitely up my cash flow. Topless is protocol."
"I would rather not wear a uniform of any kind." Miki giggles hugging his/her arm.
"That could be arranged."
"I'll think about it. For now let me make your day." Miki smiles sheepishly.
"You already have." Charmin fans herself, "Lawrence? Oh, Lawrence?"
The tall muscular African American Employee who had been assembling a Mannequin looks over, "Yes? Mistress Charmin?"
"Would you be so kind as to show Elena here our shoe department? She is in need of some Stiletto's."
The man sets aside his work and struts toward them like a stripper on a runway.
Miki swallows dryly, "Chippendale? Please let him be straight."
Charmin lifts her pinky bending it before Miki's eyes, "Gently crooked if you must know. I found him in a strip club. Offered him a job after I discovered his talents. Namely being Artistic like myself. But, sadly yes he is indeed straight. Story of Muah life."
"Aww! Sorry."
Lawrence reaches them knowing full well he was being talked about. He knew how to study a crowd.
"Hey there Elena. Would you like me to carry you to the shoe department?"
Miki drops her jaw, "My feet are tired."
