Jelena, I bet you just didn't know how surprised you looked when I walked into that shop! I knew you were working there. Your mother had told mine, and she told me when I went home for Easter. The way that word gets round in home towns. A lovely job, my mum said. You were training to become chief buyer for the whole chain. In the meantime, there you were, selling formal wear for party gals.
I was paid that day and I thought what better way to celebrate the first week in a permanent job than really splash out on an outfit for my best friend's wedding. Oh, I see, you thought I went there to seek YOU out? "You're so vain, and you prob'ly think this story's about you"! You are right!
You didn't even acknowledge you knew me when I walked in. "Can I help you?" you asked. Professionally, cool, but that look on your face betrayed you.
"I need a rather special outfit, I'm going to a party Saturday night" I answered.
Then your eyes twinkled and said "You've come to the right place then."
You, helping me! After all that had happened 5 years ago. Yeah, you helped YOURSELF that time, babe. Helped yourself to Steve Saunderson, my steady of 2 years! Snatched him from right off my arm the week before our graduation formal. "Bitch" I called you. Did you fuck him? Hey? You dirty slut I said to you in the corridor, didn't I!
So what were you doing here smiling at me. What was I doing coming in here? Before I could retreat, you were steering me towards some racks of clothes. I let you select some, I chose two myself, and then I followed you into the change room. "You need any help, just call", you invited, as you hung them on the peg.
The ones I had chosen I dismissed immediately. I hadn't even looked at them as I picked them up. Because, Jelena, my eyes were all for you! God, do you know what you did for me right then? What had happened to your hair since school? This store must be pretty cool to employ shaven-headed women with a tongue stud. When had the ponytail been shorn? How often did you have to clipper your hair to keep it 1/8 inch all over?
I shrugged off my jeans and sweatshirt. I picked up the first dress you had selected. Deep burgundy, a clinging jersey fabric. I stepped into it and discovered I wouldn't be able to fasten the 35 pearl buttons down the back, from below the shoulder blades, where the deep "v" of the back of the dress finished, to just above my ass crack. Ok, ok, ok. I steadied myself and buzzed. You took your time getting there, is all I can say.
You entered and stood there, that enigmatic, slightly frowning, smile appraising me. Without a word, you stood behind me and unhooked my bra. "You will find", you said, "you can't wear underwear with this dress. Any panties or bra will ruin the line. Stretch fabrics are unforgiving."
You pulled the dress down from my shoulders and reached round to remove my bra. As you did, my nipples hardened and you brushed lightly against them. Did your palms actually touch them, or was there merely a magnetic reaction from me? I closed my eyes, tried to remain steady on my feet. The bra was off. You pushed up the shoulder fabric of the dress and then pulled the long skirt up to my hips. Before I could take a breath, your hands were in my panties, removing them. Your hands lingered on my butt cheeks, just a moment longer than I could retain composed. I perceived a growing dampness between my legs.
After removing my underwear you fastened the buttons, lingering over those closest to my ass, tickling my flesh as you pulled the buttons through the eyes. Only then did you turn me round to face you. You ran your hands over the fabric, smoothing it across my breasts, tummy and pussy. It clung to my pussy. You could just perceive the mound of venus. You stroked across the fabric several times, smoothing any minute tucks of cloth. You pinched my nipples, made the nipple ring in my left nipple stand out, and declared "A dress like this is meant to display your assets."
