Chris's 23rd birthday was tomorrow and he wished to celebrate by treating himself to a new shiny raincoat. He has seen a new range of coats for sale at Marks and Spencers in their brochure which came with his Sunday paper. The photos of the new macks showed two of them in very glossy black. One with a hood and the other without and it was the one with the hood that took his interest most.
With breakfast finished he caught the bus to the shopping centre and headed for M & S and the women's garment section. Chris soon found the coats displayed on the racking in many colours and was pleased to see that the material was a very shiny shot silk with a rubber lining of the same colour as the silk. On checking out the black ones and pondering which size would be best for him an assistant approached him and offered to help him if he needed it. Chris blushed at the lady as he was hoping to buy one quickly and get out of there with no fuss. The lady was around 30 he guessed and nice looking, not really beautiful just nice and friendly, she was dressed in the uniform of the shop with the mid length skirt showing off her slim legs.
"Can I help you?" She asked, "Is it for you wife or girlfriend?" Chris stuttered a little not knowing how to respond and blurted out that it was for his girlfriend.
"OK, what size is she?" asked the assistant
"Erm, well she is about my size I guess," replied Chris struggling now and wishing she would go away to let just buy one and get out of there.
The assistant was having none of this and said straight out,
"This is for you isn't it? So come with me to the change room and we will find the right size." She gathered up three of the black shiny coats and led Chris to the change room, ushered him in and stayed with him whilst he tried one on. The assistant pulled the hood over his head and smiled saying.
"This suits you quite well and the size is good, now if you are a good boy I won't let anyone see the CCTV video of us with you wearing this coat. My name is Clair and I think we may just get to know each other a whole lot more from now on."
Chris was dumfounded at this and didn't know what to do, here he was in this ladies rubberised raincoat locked in a cubicle with this lady who seemed to be threatening him somehow.
"Can I please just buy this one now and leave please?" asked Chris
"Not just yet young man, we have to try on this next coat which is a size larger, but leave the first one on and put this on top of it." Clair helped Chris pull on the second coat and fastened all the buttons up to the neck and tied the belt around his waist.
