Everyone in this story is over eighteen, and so should you be!
My mistress Susana called me into her study one day, about two weeks after our return from Mexico, and I had no idea what she wanted, so I was surprised when she asked me if I could take charge of one of her most prestigious branches for a couple of weeks, while the manageress was on holiday. When I protested that I didn't have enough Spanish, she waved away my fears, saying that I was perfectly fluent enough, and, anyway, more than half the clients were foreigners anyway, and my English would be more than useful.
I was, however, still nervous, when I dressed on the morning I was due to start, slipping on the pleated blue miniskirt and white silk blouse that was to be my uniform for the duration of the job. Apart from a pair of patent stilettos, I wore nothing else, unless you counted my mistress's silver-studded collar, and the fine gold waist chain, items I always wore. I had Paloma put my auburn hair up in a businesslike French knot, and, checking my image in the entrance-hall mirror, I decided I could summon Lola to take me to work.
For a day or two I found that my training in the UK stood me in good stead, and my Spanish never let me down β the three young girls I had as assistants helped me a great deal anyway.
Then, after about three days, a couple walked into the store, and I did a double-take. The tall blonde girl in the pink silk trouser-suit was surely a British film-starlet, whose name was on everyone's lips, and she was accompanied by a flash-looking guy in his thirties, wearing an Armani suit.
She walked straight up to me.
'Hi, I'm Kathy,' she said. It wasn't the name she was known to the public by.
'And this is Mark. I want two or three outfits, complete with accessories, and I've been told this is
the
place!' Her accent was middle-class English, and she seemed pleasant enough, but I wasn't sure about Mark, who lounged around, regarding me with a sneer on his handsome face.
'OK, Kathy,' I said, and introduced myself, then said, 'come with me, and we'll see what we can do.'
'Oh, thank God you're English,' she said, 'can Mark come to?'
'Sure,' I replied, though I had rather he wasn't there.
I led them into the huge fitting room at the back, where there were rows an rows of racks and rails, on which hung thousands of gowns of all kinds. Down one side were changing rooms, and I installed Kathy in one, and brought her several dresses of the various types she asked for, while Mark sat on an armchair at the opposite side. After several tries, Kathy pronounced herself pleased with two evening gowns and two day-dresses I had brought her, and I thought she looked lovely in them too.
'Can you fix me up with shoes to match?' she asked.
'Yes, but I'll have to go into the stock-room, if you'd care to wait. You can be trying on a couple more dresses if you like.'
She grinned, and I left to cross the room to the stock-room. Once there, I was so busy reaching up to the shelves, engrossed in reading off the sizes on the boxes, that I didn't realise Mark had come in behind me, and was pressed up against me.
He roughly pulled up my skirt, and grunted when he realised I wore no panties. His hands pulled me by my waist, before I had time to yell, and I felt his erection hard against my buttocks.
I struggled around and pulled myself free, ducking out of his grasp, and fetched him a stinging slap across the face.
'Get off me, you dirty bastard!' I shouted.
'You whore!' he shouted, 'no knickers, asking for it!'
'No, no!' I yelled, 'get away from me. I don'tβ¦..I don'tβ¦..you don't understand!'
'I sure do!' he shouted back, 'you're a fucking dyke bitch!' β and, with that, he stormed down the narrow store and out, nearly knocking over his girlfriend, who, hearing the commotion, was standing at the doorway, open-mouthed.
'Just fuck right off!' she shouted after him, as he marched out of the fitting room, overturning a rail full of dresses. Then she turned to me, tears in her eyes.
'Oh, Sylvia,' she said, 'the bastard! How could he?' She stroked my arm and I could see she cared.
'He's history,' she said, 'I didn't like him much anyway!'
'It's not your fault,' I said, 'forget it, eh?'
She smiled wanly, and we went about the business of fixing her up with some shoes. When we had finished, she paid with her Gold Card, and promised to call me. I thought no more of the incident β after all, it wasn't all that unusual for men to make the mistake of coming on to me, and I could usually put them down gracefully; it just wasn't a good idea to get trapped in the stockroom with a horny stud.
