I'm Angie, sixty-two, five feet ten with natural long curly ginger hair with a white streak, well that's what I convince myself. In reality the ginger is getting lighter, several years ago I had this bold white streak which I loved, that is still there but it doesn't look so obvious as it used to. I weigh ten stones 32C-28-38 as I have been for ten years or so.
It was a lovely warm summers day and the charity shop had been deserted since the regular early morning rush, as is common I dressed with no bra in a blouse and skirt to halfway up my thighs, today they happened to be pink over mid grey and pale grey stockings.
I was in the back room unpacking black bags of donations, A job we all hate as we never know what condition they will be, about half will go straight into a bin to be collected for sorting elsewhere, about a quarter will go for steaming and cutting up for rags and another bin will go to be destroyed, this will be the soiled items and mostly underwear. It is amazing what some people will donate, we have even had dirty disposable nappies.
Luckily there had been a big donation from a large family who will be emigrating, all good clean and even folded clothing so nothing nasty. Talking followed the jingling of the bell over the door and I looked over to see a couple of lads, I reckoned in their early twenties.
"This one?"
"No."
"This?"
"No way mate... How about that suit for you?"
"Wrong colour, it needs to be wider lapels and a bold pattern."
"Can I help?" They turned red and I realised they were the same lads from a couple of years before and not looking as young.
"Oh you!"
I patted myself down from collar bone to thighs and back up with more on my breasts than the rest put together; "Just checking. Oh yes it's me."
"Oh hello again we need some stuff for Bonnie and Clyde."
"Who's who? Let me see, I'll bet Ben will be Bonnie"
"Yep."
"Right lads, I'll just get..." I turned away from them to get a suit from the bags I'd been sorting. "This one?" A very dark marooon, so dark it was nearly black with a mid grey pin stripe, very wide double breasted and no chance of someone wanting to buy it to wear other than for fancy dress. "Second thoughts, I think it's too small. Try the jacket on Ben."
"Oh okay." He put it on and yes it was a bit tight."
"No chance it will fit you Jack, I think that is the only suit we have suitable for Clyde. Nip out back and try the trousers... And for you Jack, Bonnie is always portrayed with knitted tops and often bold stripes. How about that one, afraid your boobs are bigger than hers, try it."
"That's muscle."
I smiled and went out the back, Ben looked good in the trousers, if anything a tad long but perfect around the waist. I did that thing of sticking my thumbs inside the waistband and running right round from mid back to mid front. "Lovely. Not too tight."
"Are these still as lovely?" Ben reached out to gently hold my nipple; "Oh yes."
"Yes they are Ben, but..." I stood away and looked at the pile of dresses I was in the middle of checking; "There that one. Jack come here and get your jeans off."
"Sounds like an off I can't refuse." By the time he joined us they were undone and on the way down his thighs.
"Mmm Yes. You have been working out."
Jack hopped about removing his trainers and jeans and the lump in his boxers flapped around in sympathy, I held the skirt for him to step into and as I lifted it I couldn't resist having a decent feel of the lump.
"Ooo you naughty girl."
I removed my hand and continued lifting the skirt, the very long black velvet skirt fitted to just below hips widest part then flared out, perfect for Bonnie. The dark green jumper with bold black, white and orange stripes wasn't perfect but I knew it was the best thing in the shop; "Look in that bag there, is there a beret or something knitted. For you Ben a big bold tie." We had loads out on display which hardly ever sold and a plastic tubful out back, I pulled a few out and hung them over his shoulder, he chose a black with narrow cream, maroon and white striped band across it and dumped the rest back in the tub. Jack found a crocheted cream beret style hat and stretched it onto his head at a jaunty angle, I found him a safety pin to tighten the waistband of the skirt and Ben wolf whistled.
"Yeah alright mate."
"You might need to do something with this though Jack." I rubbed the very significant and hard bulge showing in the front of the skirt and he pulled me to him for a kiss.
"I've wanted to do that for four years."
"Why four?"
"Last time we came in here, for a Marjorie Simpson outfit."
"Was that really four years ago?"
"Ben there has done a whole apprenticeship since then."
"Yes I have and do you remember what happened then?"
