"What's it like to be a beautiful woman all eyes on you?"
"How would I know?" I responded with a laugh.
"I'm serious, sitting there in your white blouse, black blazer, matching skirt & those classic heels you could have any man in here."
That's how it started just playful banter over drinks after a long day. We were both interns at the same law firm having a chance to experience hands-on work with attorneys and investigators, interact with scores of clients, assist with case organization, research, prepare motions and attend a variety of court hearings. We often went for a drink at the end of the day to unwind and compare notes. Over the six months we had worked together we had become a good friends.
Kevin is 5'6" light build, he had soft features, blond hair with blue eyes. I always enjoy talking with him about our days, the cases we were working on, the hearings we got to attend but today the conversation was different. I was not sure where he was going but decide to play along.
"You think it is easy being a woman?"
"That is not what I mean, look around at all these men in dark suits we all look the same interchangeable you on the other hand get to express yourself wear different colors pants or skirts, tidy dresses, blouses people tell you how nice you look not to mention the make up."
"You are forgetting all the work leg shaving, manicures, pedicures that it takes coordinating outfits finding heels that look good and are comfortable the effort it takes is exhausting."
"I would gladly go through all that to be has gorgeous as you I've seen how the lawyers and judges respond to you."
Laughing, I let it pass and changed the subject, talking about our plans for Halloween week-end. Kevin didn't really have anything planned so I told him about a band I wanted to see on Saturday at a costume bash at a local bar, first prize in the costume contest was a thousand dollars
"Join me cut loose have some fun."
"I don't have a costume."
"Leave that to me."
The next day I could hardly concentrate thinking about my plan. Leaving work I headed to Macys to pick up the supplies I would need to execute my plan. Guessing at the sizes I bought a skimpy black skirt, a silk blouse, heels, padded bra, thong & a blond wig along with make up. Could I really pull this off? Would he play along."
Saturday finally came, I awoke early, excited, it was going to be a busy day, I showered dressed and rushed out the door. I rang Kevin's buzzer at 9am, he buzzed me up, opening his door, "Is something wrong."
"We have a busy day ahead of us to get ready for tonight." I said pushing past him.
