I am living again with my ex-wife Camille, we are trying to work things out, trying to find a balance wherein we can both be satisfied, and both have realistic expectations. I know this start sounds a little cryptic so let me go back to the start when I first met Camille and unfold our story from there.
I am a manufacturing engineer at a large aerospace firm in the Midwest. Ten years ago, I was also the president of the company's management association, at the end of each year we would celebrate with an awards night, and Christmas party. The previous year I decided to make it a Vegas night and brought in dealers, blackjack, craps, and roulette tables, even leased a few video slot machines, it was a great hit and the membership decided to make it a yearly tradition. Planning for the event I schedules a major event venue with a catered dinning area, an open bar, multiple gaming rooms and a theatre room.
The hotel comped several suites as part of the package I took the one nearest the events plus it came with an adjacent suite and I gave the company President the other suite, which was in the penthouse (I haven't made lead engineer by being stupid.) The adject room was for the entertainment, along with the games I planned on a Las Vegas style show, the showgirls could prep and change in the other room and both rooms provided a backstage access so we could travel back and forth without walking the public corridors. Planning for the event began in February and the party was two days before Christmas. I contracted a local dance troupe to perform, had the wait staff contracted and everything planned well before summer. I checked periodically through the fall, then three days before the event checked into my room at the hotel, we had only two days to practice for the performance and set up the dining and gaming rooms.
The hotel staff had the dining room and bar ready in a few hours and the vending company didn't take much longer to set up the gaming rooms. With nothing else to do I sat in on the rehearsals. The morning practice was in workout gear after which I had a bite of lunch, made some phone calls and entered the dress rehearsal about ten minutes into practice. Now I am no choreographer but the line seemed to be incomplete, I wasn't the only one who noticed.
"Where the hell is Camille?" Janet, the studio owner who both designed and orchestrated the show, looking up from the media board, began to yell. "I swear I am going to fire that little bitch. She is will be late for her own funeral, which might be quicker than she wants, because I am going to kill her."
Being the gallant and helpful man that I am, I asked if there was any I could help.
Janet snapped at me, "Well Logan, can you put on a corset and take the stage?"
"What!" The immediacy and agitated tone of my response brought her back to reality instantaneously and she began to apologize both for her impoliteness and the sad shape of her troupe.
I then tried to soothe ruffled feathers and again asked her if there was any way I could be of assistance. She nodded her head and asked if I wouldn't mind checking the dressing room to see if "a short red-headed bitch who is about to be murdered is in there."
"I'm on my way."
I took the back hall and as I approached the suite they were using as the dressing room I could see inside as the door had been propped open. Sitting at the vanity was a diminutive girl (it was impossible to tell her age with the stage make-up on) topless, with the headdress draped across her lap, sobbing.
I covered my eyes with my left hand and knocked on the door then asked, "Miss, I am sorry to interrupt, and I apologize for not announcing my approach, but, are you okay?"
"No," she barked with a annunciation that expressed both anger and frustration, "If I put the bustier I can't bend over to put on the headdress If I put on the headdress first I can't reach back to button the damned bustier."
"May I help in any way?"
"That would be wonderful, but you can not help standing over there with your eyes closed."
"But your breasts..."
"You are not the first guy to see my tits, I have been a dancer since I was a little girl."
"You still are a little girl."
"I am legal, I am eighteen, if you really want to help please just come and help, I don't care if you see my tits, I need to get on stage before Janet rips my head off."
"She is a bit miffed."
"She has never been 'miffed' a day in her life, she is either pissed or furious."
"I think it may be the latter."
"Aren't you the polite one. Drop your hand. Look where you are going. Come over here and help me, let's do the bustier first."
I couldn't help but stare, her exposed breasts were perfect. I don't know if it is true but I read that the flat champagne glasses, the Champagne Coupe, were modeled after Marie Antoinette's 'bol sein'. This young lady had such breasts, standing out from a visible ribcage almost as if they were glued on, an unbroken circle all the way around, with tight extended strawberry colored nipples mounted in exquisite symmetry. It wasn't until she placed the headpiece on the counter before her and stood that I realized how short she was. Not quite five-foot tall, strawberry blonde hair done up in a bun, a wasp waist that I could almost encircle with open fingertips. She had a dancer's body; high firm buttocks, well defined calf, thigh, abdominal and arm muscles, and tiny feet. She looked like the ideal Vegas showgirl, in miniature.
"You must be Camille?" I forced a statement to try and not come of as some pervert.
"I am. How did you know...Janet!"
"Yes, we need to get you out there right now."
I buttoned up her corset, placed and pinned the headdress and she rushed out the door, calling back "thank-you" as she rushed down the hall. I returned to observe the rehearsal, enjoying an excellent production that differed from every showgirl show I had ever seen in that instead of all the girls being tall and of similar height, this production has a sloped increase in height from the shortest girl (Camille) to the tallest, who was at least six-foot. When she dismissed the troupe I sat and talked with Janet awhile, who again apologized and thanked me. I informed her that no apology was needed, I understand the stress of final preparations.
The dinner, the show and the gambling went off without a hitch. I held back a couple of bottles of Krug Grande Cuve'e Brut to enjoy for myself when I was finally able to wind down after the party began to wind down. As I sat at the bar feeling rather proud of what I had accomplished, at least a hundred people had came to me claiming it to be the party, or time, they had ever had, Camille walked up and asked if she could join me. Her hair was down, now flowing past her waist, and she wore a silky black one-shoulder cocktail dress that was well suited for the occasion, even with the stiletto heals she didn't stand as tall as my chest.
I guess I should describe myself: My name is Logan Driscoll, I stand six feet two inches tall, weigh around 260, brown shaggy hair and brown eyes, with a dad-bod, spending way more hours working than working out. My dress coat is a 56 regular and my trousers have a 34 inches inseam and a 36 in waist. I was 32 at the time, had never been married, was engaged in my early twenties, but thankfully realized she wasn't the girl for me. I am not unattractive, I have never longed for female companionship, and I have never dated a girl who wasn't extremely attractive. I am not rich but have a good salary and have managed my money wisely, I owned my own home, have a cabin on the lake, my car was less than two years old. I have a classic Indian motorcycle, a boat, two jet-skis and a healthy bank account. I was content and content to be so. My life changed that night.
Camille climbed up onto the barstool next to me and said, "Janet told me that had you not intervened that she would have fired me, thank you for Janet, and thanks for helping me get suited."
"It was my pleasure; you couldn't know how much I enjoyed it."
"What did you enjoy most, the costume, the show, my flying routine?"
"Those were all delightful..."
"My tits?"
