"Aren't you ready yet?" Missy pushed the door open and stuck her head inside, nearly stomping her foot in impatience. Leigh shook her head as she stared into the mirror. Bending forward, she pointed to her head and said, "I can't go to the party; my roots are showing." Her roommate closed her eyes and sighed loudly.
"You are going to the damn party." She pointed towards the costume still on its hanger, lying across the twin bed. "No one will even see your hair with that thing on!" The skirt of her slave girl costume twirled up a bit as she turned and said, "Now, get the fuck ready! I am not letting you spend Halloween night here by yourself sulking over that asshole!" With a second flourish of the cape, she turned and left Leigh alone, still in her underwear, still undecided.
Leigh turned to the side and looked at herself in the mirror, then over at the skin tight body suit. She bit her lip and wondered how she'd let Missy talk her into something so revealing. Granted, everything was covered, but little was left to the imagination. Anyone looking would see every curve, every plane of her body; it would just see it sheathed in black spandex.
Catwoman. She walked to the bed and help up the suit. There was no way she could wear underwear with the thing. It was so tight that even a thong or a bra strap would show right through. Glancing at the door to make sure her roommate had indeed left; she slipped off what she had on. If Bobby could see her now...She straightened her shoulders. 'Asshole,' she repeated Missy's assessment to herself, 'I hope you do see me tonight. I hope I'm standing right next to that flat-chested bitch you screwed. I want you to see what you gave up.'
With that thought in mind, it took some doing, but Leigh managed to pull the material over her body. She called out for her roommate to help her zip the back. Missy, with her star-spangled costume, whistled loudly when she opened the door. She laughed and said, "If I had your body, I'd just walk around naked all the time. I wouldn't do anything else. I'd just be naked."
Leigh shook her head and grinned. She replied, "It's just genetics," as she straightened the costume in the front, praying her nipples wouldn't stay as hard and noticeable as they were at the moment. Missy grabbed her long hair and pulled it back into a ponytail, "Well, just genetics, at least I won't be competing with the hot blonde tonight."
She laughed and said, "Okay, genetics and Clairol," as she picked up the mask with the little cat ears on top, pulling it over her head. It covered to just past her high cheekbones. She turned to look in the mirror and almost took a step back. She wasn't there anymore. Shy Leigh with her blushing face and lip biting had been replaced by a woman brave enough to show everything she had to the world.
As she was admiring the transformation, Missy tossed the whip across the room at her. She caught it right before it hit her in the head, her roommate laughing and saying, "Make sure you take this, just in case asshole does show up." Leigh hooked it to the side of the costume as the cute, petite brunette grabbed her arm and tugged. "Come on! They're going to be waiting for us!"
Leigh pulled back from her grasp and said, "They?"

"You had better hurry up," Luke stuck his head into the bathroom door.
Rick poked his head out of the shower. "When do we have to leave?"
"About twenty minutes."
"No problem," Rick answered. "I'll be ready."
He climbed out of the shower and padded across the floor and grabbed the towel that was hanging from the back of the door.
He quickly dried himself off and brushed his light brown hair back. A quick look in the mirror satisfied him and he hung the towel back on the door and walked out of the bathroom to his room. That was the advantage of just having one male roommate, there was no big deal about walking about naked.
After pulling his briefs on he looked at the costume that was laid out on the bed. Zorro! 'Oh well,' he thought. 'That's what I get for waiting until the very last minute.'
They were going to a Halloween party that was being held at one of the sorority houses at an all-girls private college that was about an hour and a half away. Luke's girlfriend was a member of the sorority and had invited Luke and Rick.
Once he had donned the pants and the shirt he looked into the mirror and was a bit surprised, he looked better than he expected. He thought the red sash was a bit over the top but, went with it anyway. At least the mask wasn't going to be confining and that was a relief. He struggled to pull the tall boots up over his calves and with a lot of effort and a few well-chosen curses the boots went on. With his hat, cape, and sword in hand, he went downstairs.
"What the hell are you supposed to be?" Rick laughed at Luke. He was wearing a toga with a golden crown of oak leaves.
"I am Eroticus Maximus, emperor of Rome," proclaimed Luke. He winked at Rick. "And with any luck, I will get lucky with my slave girl tonight."
"Missy is going as a slave girl?" Rick laughed.
"Yeah." Luke grinned. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, she is bringing you a date."
"Oh, fucking great." Rick could see his night turning into a disaster already. "Just what I needed."

Most of the girls were already downstairs greeting boyfriends and potential boyfriends when Missy dragged Leigh from their room. She pushed her finger into the center of the taller girls back and whispered, "Stand up straight. You don't want to be slouching when you meet him."
Leigh turned and glared at her through the eyeholes of the mask. "Excuse me? I wasn't supposed to be meeting anyone. I can't believe..."
Before her temper could reach full flare, Missy was gone from her side and hollering, "Hey, Luke! Get over here and kiss your slave girl's feet!" Her eyes followed her as she bounced across the room and wrapped her arms around him. She held her breath to watch the way Luke practically picked her up off her feet, kissing her and pulling her close. It made her ache. Then, she saw him, two feet away and watching the embrace as closely as she was.
Rick had pretty much sulked for the entire drive over here. If he had known that he was being set up with a blind date he would have found some excuse not to go. The breakup with his previous girlfriend, Amanda, had been devastating for him. She had just announced one day out of the blue that the relationship was over. No reasons had been given and all communication between them had ceased. She wouldn't take his calls on the phone, and his emails had gone unanswered.
He looked at the girl that was watching Luke and Missy. Could this be his blind date? If there was any consolation for Rick, it was she looked about as happy to be here as he was. A surge of excitement flowed through his body as his eyes drank in the sight of the girl wearing the Catwoman costume. The way her costume clung to her body left very little to his imagination. Rick felt an instant attraction to her and could feel his sleeping manhood beginning to stir.
Luke grabbed Rick by the arm. "C'mon, sporty, cheer up. Let me introduce you to your date for tonight."
Leigh stood straighter when Missy reached over and grabbed Zorro's arm. When he turned to look at her, she looked quickly in the other direction. She couldn't tell a lot with the mask on, but he had a nice body. Just tall enough, not too skinny and not too fat. She looked at his face again as Missy continued to talk. Did he frown in her direction? She looked towards the stairs.
But, it was too late, Luke was calling her name and ten seconds later she was over his shoulder as he turned in a circle, shouting, "Toga! Toga!"
Everyone in the room laughed as he spun her around, and she felt her mask slipping before she beat on his back and shouted, "Put me the fuck down, Luke!" When he sat her on her feet, she felt wobbly, but pushed him nonetheless and asked, "Did you start drinking without us?"
Luke reached up to straighten her mask, laughed and shook his head, "Nah, just wanted to make you smile." : She tried not to, but Leigh did smile. She was still smiling when Missy cleared her throat and announced, "Rick, I'd like you to meet Leigh." She turned and announced as formerly, "And, Leigh, this is Rick."
Missy took a dramatic step backwards as he nodded and said, "Hi..." She smiled and tried not blush. Even with the mask, he was cute. Green eyes, a nice mouth, a strong jaw line. Yeah, he was cute. Missy gave Luke a devilish grin as each appraised the other and obviously approved.
It being the only thing that came to mind, she blurted out, "I have a brother named Rick."
Rick liked the sound of her voice, there was something about it that couldn't put his finger on. "That's odd, I have a sister...." Before he could complete his thought, Luke tripped over his feet and stumbled into Rick, nearly knocking him to the ground. His roommate laughed and said, "Sorry, man, sorry," as he cussed and steadied himself.
Even with the commotion, he could barely take his eyes off of her. He thought her body was perfect. It would have to be to wear the costume she had on. Her green eyes had sparkled when she smiled. As he smiled at her again, Missy had hauled Luke off saying, "I need you to..." The noise of the party had drowned out the remainder of what she said.
