Author's Note: Thank you once more to all of those following the saga of Chloe and the lead-up to the filming of Lioness Pictures latest film, The Gift! In this episode Kylie has some down-time with Zoe - its important to me that they have someone of a similar level to talk shop with, and i think the culmination of it is in keeping with the characters. The second part of this chapter allows Zoe and Chloe some time together.
This chapter is dedicated to my own personal assistant.
_________________________________________________________________
For once, it seemed, the weather was being kind on a Sunday morning as Kylie walked into the centre of Beeston, one of the many villages which made up the outer part of Nottingham. She was wearing pink leggings and a crop-top, showing off her tribal tramp-stamp and with her long, bleach-blonde hair pulled into a bun. After an eventful week in her new job, she was looking forward to relaxing a bit.
It was nearly 12 when she arrived at the tapas bar and immediately spotted Zoe, sitting at one of the tables out the front and smoking a cigarette. Zoe spotted her and stood up, giving her a warm hug.
"Hi!" she said excitedly, "what would you like to drink? I'll order on my phone."
"Oh, a cold beer would be nice, or a cider if they have any," Kylie said as she sat down. She looked at Zoe, her curls looked freshly styled. She was wearing black jeans and a bright yellow tee-shirt.
"You're looking lovely, Zoe," Kylie said.
"oh, thanks. Needless to say, so are you. Loving the crop-top!"
A waitress brought out two frosted glasses of Spanish beer, and both girls took a long sip.
"So..." said Kylie.
"So... you can ask me anything and I'll be as candid as can be." smiled Zoe.
"Okay... so how did you get caught up in all of this?" Kylie asked.
"Well, after I finished my A-levels I decided to go travelling. I went around Europe for about a year, meeting people, working temporary jobs here and there. I discovered I liked girls, a lot more than I like boys, and also that I've a submissive streak when it comes to sex. Anyway, when I got back to England, I needed to find work and applied for different things around my hometown. I was offered two positions, but the one I was most interested in was the internship at Lioness Pictures. I grew up in a family of movie fans and had seen all of Lioness's films so far so the chance to work there was too good to miss."
Kylie took a drink and said, "But...that's not how things turned out?"
"No, instead I was taken to meet Elaine Danvers herself!"
"What, the big boss? No way!"
"I tell you Kylie; I was virtually pissing myself. And then she laid it on me, what they wanted me for."
"To be Chloe's personal assistant?"
"Yes. And, yes, the contract explained exactly how personal I was to allow myself to be. It was weird reading, honestly!"
Kylie lit her own cigarette and blew out the first stream of smoke.
"So, what was it like, meeting her?"
Zoe smiled broadly. "She was wonderful. She put me at ease right away and said "concentrate on being a good assistant first and we'll see how personal things get. So I did, and I quickly gained respect and admiration for her, and she appreciated my work. When she first asked me to make her cum it just felt so natural to go to my knees, you know?"
"I do, actually. I was the same yesterday after you and Chloe went off after Noa's shampoo," Kylie said.
"I thought as much. I could tell, when we came back. I knew you'd given her another orgasm! There was a kind of relaxed intimacy between you."
"She's asked to see me again, outside the salon," smiled Kylie.
"Oh, lucky you! So, come on then tell me how you ended up at Edwina's!"
Kylie explained to her new friend how Tanya had helped get her the job as salon assistant, a "Saturday Girl", and how she's been seduced by Tracey and Eddie after work, and that she now considered them her mistresses.
"Do you plan on being a hairdresser yourself?" Zoe asked.
"I never did. I never had much ambition to do anything, really. My mum works at the local pub, my dad left years ago. Teachers gave up but I got A's for my English but no interest beyond that. I've worked in a couple of the local shops but ended up getting sacked or just let go. Nobody cared. I was there to... fill a hole." Kylie took a long swig before continuing.
"But then Tanya, my mate, she fixes me up with this job. I'm not sure what she expected really, but I feel like I've been unshackled. And it's like I didn't even know I'd been shackled in the first place. So, I'm working with these two women who take the time to show me what to do and to get me interested in what they do. I see how they work on their clients, Zoe, and I love seeing the transformation. Not just with the hair but how it affects their demeanour. It changes them, Zoe -- I know you know this..."
Zoe just smiled, didn't want to interrupt.
"And... well, you know I'm a sub and have acted as such for both Eddie and Tracey, they are both wonderful Domme lovers. Before yesterday I'd already decided I wanted to do what they do, and to provide such a wonderful service to women. But yesterday, what Chloe did with Noa -- that was mind-blowing Zoe! To help women look their best AND be able to give them pleasure while doing so? That, Zoe -- that is my dream. My goal."
"I think we're two of the luckiest women on the planet!" said Zoe, which made Kylie giggle.
They ordered some small plates of food, which came to their table intermittently, allowing the flow of their conversation to continue unabated. They ordered more drinks as they talked about their experiences. If anyone was sitting close-by they would have been blushing, but the two girls had found kindred spirits in each other and felt comfortable with their candidness.
"So, you've never seen Dark Desires?" Zoe asked.
"Was that the last one? No, I haven't," said Kylie, finishing her beer.
"Well come back to my place and we can watch it. You must see it, honestly -- it will help explain a few things, I think."
"Really? Well, okay!" Said Kylie. They paid their bill and left arm in arm, heading back to Zoe's flat.
They were twenty minutes into the film, stretched out on Zoe's sofa, a beer in hand.
"Before working for Chloe, I'd never noticed how much the camera dwells on the Womens' hair!" Said Zoe.
"You're right, it seems so obvious now," Kylie giggled.
"Oh, this is the big scene, you wait"!
The film was about a young woman being seduced by her female boss and getting involved in a murder. So far there had already been a steamy seduction scene between the older actress and Bethany Starr, playing the young protagonist. Now, she'd been led to a small hair salon and instructed to sit in the chair. There was no shampooing scene, but the film cut back to Bethany in the chair, having her hair cut from shoulder length to a bob.
