I slipped from slumber to wakefulness peacefully, easily, feeling wonderful. I look around a little disorganized and realize that I am back on Marianne's couch in her Village apartment. The events of the past two days seemed far away, almost unreal. I sat up on the makeshift bed that I had used for the last six months.
This sofa became my home thanks to the kind friendship of Marianne and the disastrous crash of my career. She had fed me, given me shelter and held my hand through almost a year of unemployment. When I was blackballed from every decent job in the City through my own stupid actions she supported me. I owed her.
I stood up from the sofa getting my bearings again. I was in a t-shirt and panties. I heard the noises from her room indicating that she and her guy were awake and about to join me. I put coffee on.
Marianne had picked me up at the airport last night when I returned from my job interview in Houston. It had been late and she had her boyfriend with her. She dropped me at the apartment and they went out. I heard them come in much later, followed soon by their noisy activities in the bedroom.
Dale came out first dressed only in his boxers, and made directly for the bathroom. Marianne followed. She came in to retrieve a cup of coffee first then went to pee. Dale took a seat at the table and I handed him a cup. He smiled at me.
"You look cute today," he said.
I knew he referred to my sleepwear but I didn't care. He had seen me in panties and t more than once now. The privacy in a little one-bedroom walk up is limited.
"Hey you!" Marianne cut in, "don't be making passes at my roommate."
She was dressed much the same as I, a little tank top and panties. Dale must be having a good morning I thought two half-naked girls in sight.
I got up and walked to my purse. I bent over, showing a little panty I'm sure, and grabbed the bigger bundle of cash from my bag. I handed it to Marianne.
"My God! What did you do, rob a bank?" she cried.
"No, I got the job and this is a signing bonus. I want you to have it. Call it back rent."
"I can't take this Jackie! You're broke and need it more than me," she said.
"Believe me Marianne, I won't be needing it, besides, I have some more in there." I assured her.
"God damn!" Dale cut in, "what kind of job did you get?"
Marianne looked at me sideways. I gave her a little wink. "Personal assistant to a Texas oil man," I told him, "good salary, lots of travel and all expenses paid."
I was damned if I was going to tell him that I had hired on as the private whore to a horny Texan.
"I leave next Saturday. There is a lot to do in the mean time and I might need your help M."
Dale left for work a little later and we had time to talk. I told her all about the trip. I told her about the airplane, the limousine , Mel the driver bodyguard and then about the interview. When I got to the part about the question and answer session she was curious so I had to relate many of the actual questions.
I told her about standing in the center of the room and stripping naked. Her mouth hung open as I told her about it.
"Marianne we knew that was what the job was about, why the shocked look?"
She swallowed and replied, "I just can't feature you doing that! I mean you are always so proper and ladylike."
"That wasn't the worst of it honey!" I told her. "The way I look at it I am fucked here, no job and no prospects. I am fucked there too, but at least there I get well paid for it." I told her about the compensation package.
"Wow! Do you need a helper?" she laughed.
I told her the rest of the story, about the dress, how revealing it was, and diner and David hiring me. I didn't tell her about flashing the man at the next table at David's suggestion.
"Ok girl, so now we have to go shopping!" she bubbled.
"Nope, no shopping, all I take is what I wear." I answered her.
"You're kidding! You go with nothing?" she said unbelieving.
"Yep, just the clothes on my back. He said to come in the "clothes I was wearing", I'm not sure if he meant any clothes I chose to wear, or the ones I had on at that time. I'm not taking a chance. Those," I pointed to the discarded skirt and blouse, "are going to the cleaners today."
We talked some more and I filled in all but one detail that I knew I had to address soon. Finally I worked up the nerve.
"Marianne," I began, "I'm not real sure how to ask this or if you will take it wrong."
"Just blurt it out girl!" she said.
"Well one of the things he said I had to do was shave," I think I was blushing, "you know, bare down there."
She laughed, "All men are perverts! Dale likes that too."
Big eyed I asked , "Are you bare?"
"As a babies butt!" she replied with a grin. "Dale shaved me the first time and damn, did it make him horny! Now we do it a couple of times a week, when you're working in the diner late."
I was blown away and the words were out of my mouth before my brain kicked in. "Can I see?"
My hands flew to my mouth to try to catch the words, but missed. Marianne didn't bat an eye, she just slipped her panties down and I was looking at the first hairless pussy I had ever seen on a grown woman. It looked wicked, naughty and, I admit, sexy.
"I'll help you," she said, "unless you want Dale to do it, after all he does have experience."
I smacked her on the shoulder, "No way in hell is Dale getting anywhere near my pussy, razor or no razor!"
"No time like the present," she coached me, "go take a nice long bath then we groom you for your new job."
I looked at her as she picked up our cups and cleared the table. She was acting like she was going to help me do my nails, not the most personal of all grooming.
I went and drew a bath. Soaking in the warm comfortable tub my mind reviewed the events of the past days. I was still surprised by my physical reaction to David. I had wanted him to come into my room and take me, I still did. Even now thinking of him turned me on, fired my imagination. That was when Marianne came into the bathroom.
She had her razor and gel cream, a couple of towels and some lotion.
"Ok girl, scoot down in the tub and put one leg over each side." The big claw foot tub was the best thing in the apartment. Long, deep and wide it allowed a person to stretch out and relax.
