I woke the next morning and rolled over to see Lilly lying beside me. She was still wearing the t-shirt that I had loaned her, but at sometime in the night she had found a hair tie (where, I have no idea) and put her hair up in a ponytail. She was snoring softly, her chest rising and falling gently under the loose thin material. I slid out of the bed and moved into the bathroom where I started the shower. I heard the door behind me open and she was standing there, awkwardly swaying her shoulders as she glanced at me out of the corner of her eye.
"Did you sleep alright?" I asked softly.
She nodded shyly. I am guessing this is the first time she has woken up in someone else's place wearing their clothes. I backed away from the shower. "Go ahead, I can wait."
"We can have one together, if you want." She replied, nervously playing with her fingers.
I pulled the curtain aside and stepped in. "Whenever you are ready, but you might want to put your hair up. I don't have a hair dryer."
She nodded and wrapped her hair up in a bun then pulled the shirt off, sliding past me and into the warm spray. We still fooled around, washing each other but I stopped her when she started trying to stroke my cock. I was never one for shower sex, it was always too slippery and awkward. Also, I couldn't really feel much difference between a warm shower and a warm mouth or pussy. We dried off and she dressed in her clothes from last night while I made us some breakfast.
"Do you have anything planned for today?" I asked her over the table.
She shook her head. "No, just wondering how I am going to explain where I was last night." She replied.
"Tell them the truth, after they abandoned you, the cops picked you up and you spent the night at the police station. It is true, you don't have to tell them when or how you left."
She brightened at that, "Yeah, that actually sounds kind of badass." She smiled, "I bet none of them have ever been arrested before."
"Not likely, especially the way they took off and left you there. What are you going to do about that?" I asked, leaning back in my chair and sipping my coffee.
"Um, I don't know. What should I do?"
I leaned forward. "You should tell them that they are a bunch of cowardly bitches and if they ever pull something like that again you will cut their fucking tits off. That's what you should tell them."
"I couldn't do that." She gasped, flinching at the coarse language.
"Of course you can, and you will. These girls are never going to take you seriously if you just tag along like a lost puppy. In fact, they are probably going to try to hold this against you." I replied. "Now, say it."
"Um, you are a bunch of..." she started quietly, then jumped as I slapped the table.
"No! No, no, no. They invited you to go with them, then bailed leaving you there. Getting picked up by the cops is one of the better things that could have happened to you. Get pissed, get angry and sound like it." I snapped.
"You cowards took off and left me there so I got arrested and, and..um what was the rest again?" she stammered.
"You are a bunch of cowardly bitches and if you ever pull something like that again you will cut your fucking tits off." I growled.
"You are a bunch of cowardly bitches and if you ever pull something like that again you will cut your fucking tits off." She replied.
"Louder, angrier, you are pissed at them." I snapped.
"You are a bunch of cowardly bitches and if you ever pull something like that again you will cut your fucking tits off." She said again, more forcefully.
"Again!"
"You are a bunch of cowardly bitches and if you ever pull something like that again you will cut your fucking tits off." She practically screamed, her fists pounding on the table for emphasis.
"Good, good, but probably a bit less screechy and more cold fury. That will make them sit up and take notice." I said with a nod and she gave a proud smile back. "You will probably piss some of them off, but others may actually respect you for it. Those are the ones you want as friends."
"Thanks Mr. Walters. Thanks again for everything." She said with a smile, lapsing back into the shy little girl hero worship that was just too adorable.
"I was thinking, if you don't have anything planned do you want to do some shopping?" I asked.
"Um, for what?" she replied, tilting her head in an adorable puppy like way.
"Well, when we went to Ms. Thorne's the other girls had some pretty fancy outfits. If we are going back in a couple of weeks, I think we are expected to dress the part."
She blushed and looked away. "I've never worn anything like that. I don't even know where to start."
"That's why we consult an expert. Put on your shoes and let's go." I replied, grabbing my keys and jacket.
About an hour later we were standing outside a lingerie store in a mall in a different town. I didn't want to chance some students seeing us together. I walked in, Lilly following behind me like she was trying to hide in my shadow. I looked over at the counter where the manager was standing behind the till. She was an older lady, and took one look at me with an 18yr old girl and she sniffed with disapproval.
I didn't care, I was headed to the sales associate who was straightening a table of bras and panties.
"Excuse me, I was wondering if you could help us?" I asked and she turned around with a bright smile.
"Sure, what can I do for you?" She said in a cheerful tone. She was in her early 20's, likely a college student working part time. She had one of those outgoing, energetic smiles that just screamed customer service and appeared to still genuinely like her job.
"This is Lilly, she is an exchange student staying with us." I said as I stepped aside and gently nudged Lilly forward.
"Hi Lilly, I'm Christine. Nice to meet you?"
"Lilly is here from China and has recently met someone. She wants to take it to the next level, but she doesn't have anything 'appropriate'" I continued and gave a small smile when Lilly blushed in embarrassment.
"Oh god, do I know about that." Christine said with a laugh, then reached out to take Lilly by the elbow and pull her along. "Let's get you measured then we can start seeing what you like."
A few minutes later and Lilly was fingering bra and panty sets while Christine noted her measurements on a pad. I walked up to her and tapped her shoulder, a $50 held between my fingers.
"Lilly is pretty lonely here, would you mind 'Big Sistering' her for a bit. It would really help her out."
Christine gave me another of those genuine smiles. "Oh that would be fun, no problem. My shift is almost over and this will be more fun than straightening the stock."
I handed her another $50 and pulled out my credit card. "Here, shopping is more fun if both of you do it. Maybe get her some shoes too? I will be in the sports bar over there, take as long as you need."
Christine smiled and pocked the money. "No problem, I will even give her my employee discount."
The third quarter was just starting when the two girls walked in and I flinched at the number of bags they were carrying. Oh well, consider it an investment I thought. They were laughing like happy girls do and Lilly smiled widely when she saw me.
"Alright, I am glad you had fun. Remember, I am off on Wednesday, give me a call." Christine said as she hugged Lilly and waved to me. "Thanks for a great day Mr. Winters." She said as she headed out.
Lilly came up and hugged my arm. "Thank you, Mr. Walters. That was so much fun and Christine says she wants to hang out with me."
