She had wandered into the store about a half hour earlier, intent on buying something quickly and getting home. She was shy when it came to this sort of thing, just wanting to get something and be on her way. At this point though, she was stuck.
"Can I help you with something?" the store's lone employee on the floor asked.
"No...no its ok," Ashley responded. The truth was she did need help, but was too embarrassed to ask.
"Are you sure? I didn't want to bother, but you've been over here a while and I thought I might be able to help...what are you looking for?"
Ashley looked up at the girl and was caught off guard. She was intoxicating. "Um...well...I guess." She stared blankly for a bit until she realized there was a second part to the question she was supposed to answer. "I don't know quite what I'm looking for...I bought these heels a couple of days ago and wanted something to go with them." She lifted them so the girl could see.
"Oh, those are beautiful! I love them!" As the employee moved forward Ashley felt a strong desire to run away and leave the store for good. It was too much. This girl had some sort of power over her. She had to get her mind under control. What was happening to her? She decided to try to turn the switch off and focus on her purchase. "I've done this thousands of times, just get something and get out of here," she thought.
As the girl moved forward she could sense a bit of apprehension in her customer. She reached her hand forward and introduced herself, "Hi, my name is Lauren."
So much for focusing on the purchase. As she shook hands with the girl she was amazed at the softness of her skin and the smell of the girl...it was something else. She wanted more, she wanted to reach in and hug the girl, she wanted, no needed to be closer to the girl. "My name is Ashley. I'm kind of in a hurry to get out of here-
"So that's why you've been standing in the same spot for the last half hour?" the girl giggled.
"No...well I...I wanted to pick something quickly but I'm not good with this sort of thing." Ashley was flustered. Did the girl no the power she held over her? Ugh. Get me out of here!
"Well I would love to help you out. Let's find something to match those heels. I don't think you need a corset, you've pretty much nailed the hourglass figure on your own. What about a teddy?" She pointed to a black one on the upper rack and then turned to Ashley and looked her over. "Ohhh, no you have to try this babydoll on. And this one. You are going to look amazing in these!"
Was this girl checking her out or just doing her job? "Um, okay. Yeah I will try those on."
After a few minutes she stood in front of the mirror admiring herself. The black sheen worked well with her light skin and the red bows went perfectly with her heels. "When are you coming out? I wanna see how cute you look!"
Lauren's voice sent a small shock through her. Oh no. She knew there was no backing out. She turned and opened the door, just standing there as Lauren approached. "Oh my. You look good."
