The two main characters appear, both alone and together, in a number of my other mind control stories. Please enjoy, and then comment pro or con, if you will.
Cindy and Roxanne Finally Connect
An Unexpected Phone Call
Dr. Cindy McCarthy sat at her desk catching up on paperwork when her phone buzzed.
"Hello? This is Dr. McCarthy."
"Cindy, this is Roxanne."
"Roxanne, I know I said I'd call you, but work is driving me crazy. No, wait... that's a lame excuse and I take it back."
"Hey," said Roxanne, "phone lines run both ways. We said we'd talk and now we are... end of story."
"What's up?"
"Guess who spent the night at my place last week during the blizzard?"
"Get out of here; You were with Randy?"
"Bingo. First try."
"You have to tell me all about it."
"Over the phone? I don't think so. Cindy, you work in a prison. How about we get together next Saturday night?"
Cindy glanced at her desk calendar. "That's Valentine's Day."
"Got a hot date?"
"No, I'm free."
"Tell you what, why don't you come over to my place and celebrate? I'll cook dinner and we can be each other's valentine."
"Uh, should I bring something to sleep in?
"I like the way you cut to the chase. Absolutely. No, wait; I have an idea. Let's exchange gifts. I'll choose a red outfit for you and you can choose a white one for me. Problem solved."
"I
love
this idea. Let's do it. How much do you want to spend? "
"Actually, said Roxanne, "I've come into a little cash recently. How about, say, a hundred and fifty bucks max?"
"Perfect."
"Don't forget to bring your red shoes. If I have to buy them it'll bust my budget. Besides, Elvis Costello says that the angels want to wear them. Cindy," she said, "so do the devils." She laughed.
The two friends exchanged sizes and said their goodbyes.
The Lovers' Choice
Roxanne pulled open the door to "The Lovers' Choice" and walked in.
"May I help you?" asked the salesgirl.
"Thanks, I'd like that, Clarisse," said Roxanne, as she read the cute salesgirl's name tag. "I'm looking for an outfit to give to a girlfriend for Valentine's Day, something in red." Here's her size," she said as she handed a slip of paper to the salesgirl.
Clarisse came out from behind the counter and showed the brunette a rack of outfits which had purposefully been gathered together in anticipation of the upcoming holiday. "Why don't you take a look here?" she said and then, using her arms to clear a space on either side of a number of outfits. "These will be in her size."
"Thanks," said the five-foot tall brunette as she started examining the rack. One by one, she hefted and examined negligees, peignoirs, and baby dolls. After ten minutes or so, Roxanne returned to the main counter empty-handed.
"No luck, huh?" asked Clarisse.
"I'm afraid not. They seem so, so... vanilla. Do you have anything a little racier?"
"A little racier... or a
lot
racier? We have both. Care to give us a second chance?"
"Faint heart never won fair lady," said Roxanne.
"
As You Like It
, right?" asked Clarisse.
"Good call," said Roxanne as she followed the well-educated salesgirl through a beaded curtain into a room filled with bondage accessories and outfits as well as a fair selection of racy nightgowns and negligees. "So much for vanilla. This is more like it, a
lot
more like it."
"I'll leave you to browse," said Clarisse as she left to return to the front counter. "I'll be just outside if you need any help."
Ten minutes later, Roxanne emerged through the beads and put a small arm-full of red lace and satin items on the counter. Clarisse rang them up. "That's $148.34, please."
"Damn," said Roxanne. "I was hoping to get a small toy, but $150 is our limit. I can't go over."
"I'll tell you what," said the attractive sales attendant. "You won't go over if I give it to you for free."
"Thanks, Clarisse, but you don't have to do that. You've already been more than helpful."
"How about we make a little wager to settle the matter? If I can guess your measurements exactly, you have to let me give you a toy of my choice. If not, then I won't. What do you say?"
Roxanne began unbuttoning her winter coat.
"No no no, said Clarisse. Leave it on. I don't need you to take it off."
"What? How are you gonna..."
"Because I'm that good."
"Ok," said Roxanne as she twirled around to give Clarisse a fighting chance. "Go for it."
"Hmmm," mused the friendly salesgirl. Will you turn around one more time?"
"Sure," said Roxanne as she took a second trip around the circuit.
"38-24-36," said Clarisse. "Your cup size, by the way, is D."
"How did you do that? You hit it right on the nose, amazing."
Reaching under the glass counter, Clarisse withdrew a thin eight-inch jelly dildo and dropped it into the shopping bag. "You lost," said the salesgirl, grinning from ear to ear.
Laughing, Clarisse produced a small scrap of paper with Roxanne's measurements and a Lovers Choice business card. "I cheated. Your date was here this morning. She bought an all-white outfit. You're gonna like it."
"You're not looking for a third, by any chance, are you?"
"Sorry," said Roxanne, "but Saturday night is special, kind of a reunion. Maybe some other time."
Clarisse held up the business card and dropped it into the bag. "You can always reach me at this number, at least during business hours. I own the place. You guys seem like fun... my kind of fun. Enjoy."
"You've been great," said Roxanne as she opened the door and waved. "Thanks for the freebie."
We All Cook
Roxanne was almost through cooking when her doorbell rang. She put down her spatula and walked to the door. The hostess peeked through the peephole and opened. "
Hap-py Valentine's Day
!" said the tall blonde in the winter coat as she stepped into the small apartment. "Oh my God, it smells amazing."
"I'm almost done. I was hoping for 'fashionably late'."
"Sorry," said Cindy. "I didn't get the memo, but... I did bring the wine, two kinds."
"Let's see what you brought," said Roxanne. Cindy reached into her cloth bag and took out a clear bottle and showed it to her host. "Ah, Zibibbo. This is a dessert wine," said Roxanne, "and a good one. It's Sicilian, like me," she said as she pulled back the sides of her apron so Cindy could read the front, which said "In Sicily, We Call It 'GRAVY'!"
"It will go well with the cannoli. I can make them, but the one's from Drago's in the North End are better than anything I can make. Did you bring a red for the main course?"
"Ta Da!" said Cindy as she drew a second bottle and handed it to Roxanne. Roxanne read the label out loud. "Fontodi Vigna del Sorbo Gran Selezione" and inhaled sharply. "Cindy, this bottle costs over a hundred dollars."
Cindy put her hands on her hips and stuck out her chin. "So? Wanna fight about it?" said the blonde, smiling.
Roxanne went to the cupboard and took out two smallish wine glasses. Opening a drawer, she took out a well-worn corkscrew. In a single and obviously well-rehearsed move, she lifted her apron, put the bottle between her thighs, inserted the corkscrew and twisted it. Roxanne pulled and, "Pop!" out came the cork. Sniffing the bottle opening, Roxanne placed the open bottle on the small kitchen table, which was intimately set with a single candle and a red checkered tablecloth. "It needs to breathe a bit. Cindy, this is an
awesome
wine."
"Oh yeah," Cindy said as she pulled a black box wrapped in white ribbon out of the shopping bag and handed it to her friend. "I got this at a little boutique in Central Square. I hope you like it."
"In Cambridge?"
"Yeah, where else would it be? You know any other Central Squares?"
"No," Roxanne admitted, and then assumed the mirror image of Cindy's earlier indignance. "So? Wanna fight about it?" They both laughed and then hugged. Rozanne went to break-off the hug. "Here, let me take your..." As soon as Roxanne raised her head, Cindy leaned in and kissed her full on the lips. Roxanne kissed her right back.
