This is part 7 of a continuing series. I highly recommend you read them in sequence.

Kajal couldn't believe her eyes when Ramya rushed out of the store in a much disheveled state clutching a plastic bag in her hand. The cell phone had cut off within a minute after Ramya entered the store, and when the shopkeeper had come out and pulled down the shutters, Kajal had started to get worried. Upon seeing Ramya's state though, she realized that something had been going on and was very curious to see how far Ramya had gone.
Ramya hurriedly got into the car and avoided Kajal's eyes. "I got some bra and panty sets. Can we go now please?" she asked softly.
"We'll go once you tell me what went on in there," Kajal said firmly. She took hold of Ramya's shoulder and made Ramya turn to face her. "What did you do? Are you okay?"
"Yes I am fine," Ramya said, blushing deeply. "I modeled the bra for the shopkeeper like you asked me to, and it got a little out of hand."
Kajal was stunned. She hadn't really expected Ramya to follow through on her request. She realized that if something had happened between Ramya and the shopkeeper, that was probably a good thing and Ramya would probably still be hot about it. Kajal decided to keep pushing on her, but decided not to ask for any more details in case Ramya started feeling ashamed or guilty about it. "Okay good. You'll have one more final lesson and then you should be all set for the modelling session next week." Despite repeated questions from Ramya, Kajal didn't say anything more about what the final "lesson" was going to be, and just drove to a fancy restaurant for lunch.
While Ramya was washing up, Kajal made a couple of quick phone calls, and was done before Ramya got back. They a nice leisurely lunch, and spent the rest of the afternoon doing some window shopping and picking up groceries. Kajal also made sure to stop at a liquor store and picked up some beer as well as vodka. It was a bit of an ordeal for a woman to buy liquor in Chennai, but she had grown immune to the taunts and double-meaning questions a while ago.
It was pretty late in the evening by the time they reached home. Ramya helped Kajal put away everything they had bought and started asking her again about what the next lesson was going to be. Kajal first told her to relax and poured a couple of strong vodka cocktails for both of them. "You need to relax," Kajal said as she waited for Ramya to take a sip of the drink. "Have you ever watched fashion TV?"
"Yes, I have seen it," Ramya loved the taste of the cocktail and had finished almost half the glass within minutes. "They wear pretty revealing clothes."
"Yes, but that's not why I asked," Kajal said. "Have you seen how they walk? Erect posture, confidence enough to meet your gaze and nice make-up?"
"Yes, that's true, Kajal," Ramya responded. "They seem to be able to pull of wearing just about anything."
"You need to get that confidence," Kajal responded firmly and quickly mixed another drink as she saw that Ramya was almost done with hers. "And practice makes perfect. That's going to be your next lesson," she said as she handed the drink to Ramya.
"Oh okay," Ramya gratefully took a sip from her second drink of the evening. "How are we going to do that?"
Kajal took Ramya by her hand and led her into the bedroom. She unwrapped the bra and panty sets that the shopkeeper had given her. She also pulled out some dresses and nightgowns and put aside. "You are going to get some modeling practice tonight. I am going to keep some outfits ready for you," Kajal instructed. "I'll switch on music in the living room. You'll walk out of the bedroom, circle the couch, pause in front of the audience for five seconds, turn around, take a couple of steps, pause for another five, and then come back into the bedroom and change to the next costume - I will keep it ready for you. Once you are ready, you start again. OK?"
Ramya struggled to keep up with the pace of instructions. "You mean I put on outfits you pick, and model for you just like they do on Fashion TV?" she finally asked.
"Yes, model for us," was the response.
"Us? What do you mean us?" Ramya was starting to panic.
"Do you think I'll be the only person in the audience next week, Ramya?" Kajal acted as though she was getting angry. "There will be some very senior managers there and I don't want you to embarrass me. Adarsh and another friend will be here shortly and you'll be modeling for us. Okay?"
Ramya wasn't sure if she could do it. If it had been just Kajal and Adarsh, she could probably have managed it - they had already seen her fully naked! Modeling in front of a stranger sounded scary. "But then, there is going to be more than one stranger next week," she thought to herself. "That's probably why Kajal invited the other friend."
"Okay, Kajal," Ramya said finally. "I'll do it."
"Okay good. Start with your make-up now, they'll be here soon," Kajal responded with an encouraging smile. "And remember, you need to be confident. No shyness, you need to meet our eyes!" Ramya nodded in response, gulped down her second drink, and went to work on her make-up.

Ramya had finished with her makeup and was putting on the first dress - a western "little black dress" that came down to just above her knees and had a mandarin collar covering most of her cleavage as well when the doorbell rang. She could hear Kajal go and open the door and some muted conversation for a minute or so. She was pretty much ready when Kajal walked in with another drink and gave it to her.
"Sip this one slowly. Your audience is ready when you are," she said and gave Ramya a pat on her back. "Remember my directions, I'll go and switch on the music now."
Ramya took a gulp of her third cocktail to help buck up her courage, and looked at herself in the mirror. The first dress that Kajal had laid out was actually pretty modest. It was a bit figure-hugging, but nothing too bad. She felt glad that she was able to start with such a dress. "Hope the rest of the evening goes off okay," she thought to herself. "I cannot lose control like I did at that dress shop!" Just thinking about it again, and remembering how she'd been naked and on her knees in a shop, giving a blowjob to an absolute stranger made her start to feel horny again. The alcohol in her bloodstream was also going towards reducing her inhibitions, and while she was telling herself that she should retain control, her body was giving her signals in a completely opposite direction.
Kajal had started playing some upbeat music in the living room, and Ramya took it as her cue to make her entrance. Remembering Kajal's instructions, she walked in with her head held high and with a sway in her hips. She could see that the living room was somewhat dimly lit, and Kajal was sitting in between Adarsh and another guy. All of them had beers in their hands, and when Adarsh saw Ramya walk in, he whistled in a very suggestive manner. Ramya blushed slightly before remembering her instructions and kept her head high and continued her catwalk. Her path took her near the couch on which her "audience" was seated, and when she passed them, she could feel a pat on her butt. She quickly turned back to see that it was Kajal, and she was giving Ramya a thumbs-up. Ramya just smiled in response, and paused to let them look at her.
