Chapter 17
Going home Lara quickly noted down her thorough observations of Ms. Baker's feet down to the smell that was still lingering on her hands. Only to then quickly jump in the shower after dropping the big bag of worn stockings from Tina in her bathroom to hand wash later this weekend. Her shower was quick and efficient so she would be able to make most of her time to get ready. Just like every time she headed out Lara opted to do her makeup even bolder than her work makeup which was already a too bold to be strictly professional.
She was very pleased with the result, an extremely glossy pair of red cock sucking lips that would turn every man crazy. She couldn't help but think back to how the postboy for one seemed to love them. It surely was embarrassing having to give that guy a daily blowjob, but each of his orgasms filled her with so much pride that it was equally addictive. Her days just wouldn't be the same without blowing him. Just like her lips her eyes were overdone in a mysterious dark to icy blue smoky fashion with bold eyeliner and mascara. It really made her eyes pop.
While the look was bordering trashy it was applied well enough to prevent that if only barely, her designer dress would do more to keep things from looking too trashy than her makeup though, but first for some reason she felt the need to snap a picture of the makeup job she did. She never really took selfies, it was something so vain and yet she felt compelled to do it this time. Then suddenly she remembered. It was for that dating app she had downloaded. She still needed to upload her pics for today's look in the hope to attract a date.
It was a bit strange, she had always considered dating apps for trashy and hopeless people and even though she couldn't remember wanting to instal such an app, but she vaguely remembered installing it. She couldn't quite put her finger on what she put in her profile though. Only that she wanted to have her profile pictures showing her daily look, makeup wise, outfit wise and even lingerie wise. While she didn't fully remember wanting to instal a dating app it did make sense on a certain level. After all she was kind of desperate and flaunting her looks was her best bet at scoring dates so it made sense in a way. Especially since she had noticed how great sleeping and waking up with someone who desired her had been. Even if it had been more than a bit embarrassing as well to sleep with the butch cleaning lady of the salon she went to.
At least that is how her brain started making sense of the rather crude command that she had made her profile instead of Ms. Baker. Just like she snapped a selfie of her makeup, she made another one in the big mirror in her bedroom once she had put on her lingerie, a skimpy black lace push up bra with a matching thong, garter belt and black sheer seamed stockings paired with a super tall pair of stiletto heels. It took her a few tries to capture just the right angle that showed of her assets in the best possible way. Just like it did take a few more tries to capture a picture of her in her off the shoulder black dress with a skirt short enough to show off the darker stocking tops even when standing up straight. A slight bend actually threatened to reveal the garter straps.
Selecting the three good pictures she wanted to use Lara quickly uploaded them to her dating profile. A bright blush spread underneath her makeup as she read the bio she apparently added to her profile. It reeked of desperation and portrayed her as a huge slut, but she couldn't bring herself to change it. As much as she hated it there was definitely some truth to it, after all if her encounter of yesterday night was anything to go off of, kinky submissive slut was actual a rather accurate description.
With a slight shudder she decided not to go swiping just yet. Afterall she wouldn't be home for the coming few hours so arranging a date for right now kind of missed its point. Quickly closing her phone with a slight shudder Lara put it in her purse and after giving herself a last check in the mirror to make sure her seams were straight and her makeup was on fleek she left for her weekly quiz feeling slightly antsy once more. After all the last praise she had gotten had come from massaging her therapist's feet which had been a while ago at this point.
This time she was one of the last to arrive, walking to the entrance together with Charlotte with whom she met up in the parking lot. "Damn girl look at you, someone's definitely looking to score tonight, at this rate I might just end up losing my reputation as the slut in our group. In all seriousness though Lara, you look great, a little daring even for me, but I'm glad to see you've finally managed to get that stick out of your butt and started to live a little." Charlotte cheered with a wink being her usual excited self. It was true though, this time Charlotte who hadn't really changed up her style looked modest next to her not that Lara minded. It was a compliment as far as she was concerned.
"Hihi thanks Charlotte, I'm definitely not planning to sleep alone tonight." Lara giggled in reply totally out of character for her, but then again she had been acting a little strange for weeks now. Charlotte just figured that she was re-evaluating her life choices. After all Lara wasn't the youngest anymore and she was still single without much else than working going on in her life as far as Charlotte could tell. Last week at the club she had definitely looked to be on the prowl before she concerned herself with Kelly who had looked somewhat jealous. That was pretty much Charlotte's only concern that Lara's promiscuity would end up hurting Kelly who looked to be head over heels for her especially with how Lara had already subtly flirted with the girl.
It was such a concern that Charlotte decided to warn Lara about not pushing things too far with Kelly just in case Lara might not have noticed the effect she was having on her. "Oh, before we head inside just one more thing. I think Kelly is quite smitten with you, but unless you plan to build anything serious with her, which is your full right let that be said, I fear that you might just end up hurting her feelings if you keep on flirting. Please don't take this the wrong way, it's just advise from a friends who wants to see both of her friends happy." Charlotte casually said before pushing open the door and entering.
Charlotte's casual warning was most definitely food for thought for Lara, sure she had noticed Kelly had a certain interest in her and she couldn't help but flirt a little seeing that interest, but she hadn't really thought about how that might make Kelly feel. The last thing she wanted was to upset a friend and someone superior to her at that, and she most definitely wasn't looking for anything serious, all she wanted was confirmation and attention. She should really have a chat with Kelly to clear that up.
Entering the quiz establishment Romy gave Lara a slight disapproving look. As the only one who had settled with a family she sometimes felt like she didn't really belong with this group anymore. Yet she always enjoyed this fun weekly tradition, her weekly bit of me time to be away from all the work and pressure a family brought for once.
Kelly on the other hand looked absolutely smitten with Lara's look. After last week's dance Lara had never left her mind. It was kind of weird as it was the first time she seemed to acknowledge herself that she was very much into women. As far as she was concerned it was strange how anyone couldn't be into Lara. She looked like a Goddess in her eyes.
Nevertheless after all exchanging greetings the evening passed pretty much as normal. There was some obvious tension between Lara and Kelly as Kelly was a bit more proactive in her flirting this time while Lara tried her best not to reciprocate. It was as it was going in against the subliminal commands that were etched into her mind, but it was possible as it conflicted with wanting to please a superior. She knew she couldn't commit to someone, especially not to another woman and thus flirting back would cause her superior more pain than pleasure which was to be avoided at all costs.
Just like the week before Lara's hesitance to answer questions she was almost certain off caused her to be a lot less useful to the team than she used to be, inevitably hurting their place in the overall standings. It wasn't something the group cared about too much as they mostly participated for fun, and to see each other again. For Lara on the other hand it really hurt, she was the most competitive person among them, and she knew for certain that they were losing so badly because of her. If anything it only made her feel more inferior to all her friends. It caused her enough stress to be playing with her hair on a near constant basis. Paired with her lack of input and her constant distracted look as she scanned feet, shoes and mental checked her own looks at all times, she couldn't help but appear like more of a ditz.
After the quiz Romy excused herself, saying how the babysitter was at home waiting for her return. Charlotte on the other hand eagerly turned towards her two remaining friends. "So you girl's ready to head out again like last time? Maybe I can wing woman both or you, trust me, I have a great track record doing just that." She winked, trying to casually fix the rather awkward situation between her friends. The fact that Lara had tried not to flirt back during the quiz had proven that she had no mal intent with Kelly, but Kelly didn't seem to be over Lara at all. Maybe distracting Kelly with a fun fling could fix that, it was a distraction that always helped her deal with things.
Kelly had rather mixed feelings about going out like Charlotte proposed. She had no interest in Charlotte playing wing woman to hook her up with a stranger, she only had eye for Lara at the moment. On the other hand given how last time had ended with her dancing with Lara she didn't want to refuse either. It was a rather complex dilemma and she was happy that in the end Lara ended up speaking up first.
"I think I'll skip tonight Charlotte, thank you for the offer though maybe next week, for now I have something more important to do. Kelly if you don't mind, I think we should go for a drink somewhere a little more quiet. I've been thinking and we really need to talk." She said, the notion that she had been thinking seemed rather comical given how she was playing with her hair more feverishly than before, looking just as distracted.
