For Hank
The department store was practically deserted for a Saturday afternoon. Caroline had spent the past hour in lingerie and must have tried on twenty bras but still couldn't find just the right one. The problem, she knew, was the size of her breasts. They were just too big. The truth was, her whole body was just a little too bulky at five foot seven and one hundred eighty pounds.
The fitting room attendant brought her a couple more bras to try on. Handing them over the half door she assured Caroline, "These have some serious support and are still a little sexy, try them." Caroline tried one on. She didn't much like it. "Why can't it look as beautiful on me as the model on the package?" she complained to herself. She knew the answer, the model on the package is a size five and wearing a 32B version of the 38DD Caroline had squeezed into. It felt like a rubber band. She tried taking it off then, but the hooks, all four of them, seem to be caught and twisted around a loose thread.
The fitting room attendant had introduced herself as Margie. Margie was no more than 21 years old, Caroline figured, and wore a size two skirt. She had little or no boobs visible to the naked eye. Hell, she probably didn't even own a bra herself. "How would she know anything about fit and support?" Caroline groaned to herself, then asked Margie for her help.
Margie pulled back the curtain to the fitting room's tiny cubicle. As she considered the bra Caroline was trapped in, she noticed how beautiful Caroline's breasts were. She wondered how they would feel if she touched them. Mentally pinching herself for her thoughts, Margie brought herself back to the matter at hand, which was the bra. It fit well and looked flattering enough, she couldn't understand Caroline's displeasure. Margie helped Caroline to rid herself of the constricting article.
Caroline felt Margie's warm hands gently brush her spine as her thin fingers and long nails worked to loosen the tangle. The touch sent tingles up and down her spine and caused her nipples to perk. Once freed, the bra fell. Caroline grabbed it and covered herself as a rosy blush bloomed in her cheeks. "Don't be embarrassed," Margie consoled. "I think they are lovely. Caroline's cheeks reddened still and she was unsure of what to reply. Margie was captivated. "I bet men stop and stare at them all the time."
"I wish my husband paid them a little more attention. He'd rather play with an old Mustang than his wife." Caroline, unsure of why she had just admitted this to a complete stranger, realized her discomfort had actually eased somewhat and was replaced with a little curiosity. She released her grasp on the garment and let it fall.
