The story is about a group of people, an actual place, and a dream. While having a none too subtle dig at society in general. This is a work of pure fiction. None of the characters are real people, nor do they represent real people. It is a slow burn, a lot of romance and some gratuitous sex for those who need to get off on it. It is based in Australia so I have used local language. There is some Italian and French conversations, so if you want to really become attached to the characters I strongly recommend you use a google translator. It will help with the flow of the conversations. As I use the Queen's English, I will apologise in advance to my American friends for the correct spelling of some words.
Some of the place names are correct.
There is no underage sex involved.
Part 9 -- It's all coming together.
I was hoping that Michelle would be able to deliver on said promise, but having once before tried to get a totally bored straight woman, to become active in her workplace, I knew it would even be beyond my scope and range.
I was proved right.
I waited in the room adjacent the change rooms when the assistant came out of your cubicle, red faced and in a hurry, glared at me as she stormed past. At least she didn't scream at her I thought. I noticed she went straight over to the managers office, knocked and walked in.
Shortly afterwards, Michelle stuck her head out and called me over. "I am sorry madam, I have let you down. She has no interest in me." I looked at her, cupped her face in my hand and gave her a gentle kiss. I told her to get dressed in a new shirt and the tight jeans that were still only halfway down her legs.
Smiling to myself I made the way to the counter where I was met by a rather more mature woman, of my vintage I suspect, she looked at me and said with half a smile. "Pity you asked the wrong assistant to help your little friend. I would have loved to have accommodated her. I also see she has fine taste in older women to boot."
I stood there contemplating my next move. I held out my hand and introduced myself "I'm Kathleen and I will keep that in mind. Pity you don't have a bigger range for a more mature clientele."
She replied "Nice to meet you Kathleen, I'm Elizabeth, I'm the manager here. I have sent Juliette to grab a coffee and to calm down." She then continued "Unfortunately the older ladies in the Port don't seem to have much interest in high end fashion. It is all about fast turnover these days, so we concentrate on the younger ladies, which I enjoy."
Michelle joined us carrying an armful of items. "Michelle, may I introduce you to Elizabeth. It seems I asked the wrong assistant to help you. But with luck we shall meet Elizabeth again."
"Ello Madam, nice to meet you." She told her.
"Hello Michelle, I see by your Collar you are just embarking on your journey. You are one lucky young lady to have such a refined and elegant woman looking out for you."
She then looked at me smiled and continued. "It would be good to run into you both again, maybe somewhere not so public?"
I smiled back, cocked my head a little to one side, wet my bottom lip and suggested. "If you aren't too busy this coming Friday night, some friends and I share a glass of wine or two at Korked in Divitt Street in the Port. If you pop in after seven and ask for me, I am certain you would be most welcomed."
"Oh, I would love that but I have a partner and I would need to check on our arrangements for the weekend." She told me.
I took a plain bic biro from my hand bag and asked for her hand. She offer it to me palm up. I wrote my mobile number down for her across her palm. "Ring me and let me know if you can make it. I think you and your partner would find us a lot of fun." I told her.
She tallied up the items, 6 shirts, 6 pairs of jeans and 4 pair of dress jeans. "That comes to one thousand, seven hundred and twenty six dollars madam." Without flinching I withdrew my platinum MasterCard, swiped it, and entered my pin number. Then once again said to her. "I hope to see you come Friday." Then turning to Michelle, "you would like that wouldn't you Michelle?"
