Beginnings – Day 6 – Offer Accepted

by Carolyn

  

I arrived home entirely energized from the day, both what I had done and what lay ahead. I decided to take a quick shower before dressing to meet Harry and review his offer. I just used a scented body wash and toweled off rapidly. I decided to shave but first put on my bra. These wonderful breasts feel so much better with support!

After a close shave I went to work on my hair. I massaged just a tad of product into it and used my blow dryer and brush to style it. It was such a cute hairdo and so easy to manage!

I had decided on my new white suit with the black pinstripes. Since the jacket was cut a little low I wore a black lacy camisole and a half slip. The skirt was lined and I didn't need a slip but I wanted to wear it. Slips are so feminine! First I laced on my waist cincher and was pleased that a three inch tightening wasn't too uncomfortable.

As I picked through my panty hose I saw an unopened pair of sheer stockings. Even though I had worn a pair last night, I grinned and grabbed my garter belt. I wanted to feel as sexy as I could, even though Harry would never know.

Slipping on my mules, I headed back to the bathroom to on my makeup. Once again I did my smoky eyes, not wanting to experiment for time's sake. I loved the feel of my foundation and enjoyed highlighting my cheek bones with a bit of color using my soft brush. I decided on lipstick that matched my nails which were still a dark red. I resolved to have a manicure in the morning if Cindy could take me.

It was time for my new suit. I put on the skirt, zipped up the side and fastened the clasp.

I sat down and opened a box of new shoes. They were black t-straps with a 4 inch heel.

I put them on and, you guessed it, went to the mirror. Without the jacket I loved the look of the camisole and skirt. The shoes were a knockout!

I went to my jewelry drawer and selected a simple gold chain with a matching bracelet. It was understated and quite professional. I wore my black onyx ring and a gold band with a small red stone in it for accent. I selected a cute set of earrings that had three strands of woven gold, not real of course, that hung about two inches from my ears. At the end of each strand was a small gold ball.

I put on the jacket and went back to the mirror. The jacket was stunning with a single large black button that exposed a good amount of the cami. With the jewelry the look was stylish but quite businesslike. I was pleased as I preened for myself.

I decided to switch purses and selected one that was black leather and had a strap to sling over my shoulder if I wished. Felicia had told me it was a replica of a Coach purse that was quite popular. I loaded everything in and was pleasantly surprised to see it had a pocket for my cell phone and even my cigarettes. As I loaded my perfume I gave myself a spritz.

Putting on my coat I slipped the strap over my shoulder. I liked it! How convenient it was.

I drove to Harry's and carefully got out of my car. As always, I paid attention to the sound of my heels on the cement and the delightful swish of my skirt. I enjoyed the subtle scent I was wearing. I couldn't wait to see Harry.

When I entered the club he was waiting for me at the bar. He hopped off his stool and came to take my coat.

"My goodness, Carolyn, you look absolutely stunning! What a gorgeous suit. I certainly hope you've come to accept the job."

"Why thank you, Harry darling, I'm so glad you like it. I bought it today along with three others. I'm stocking up on business clothes because, yes, I intend to accept your offer. I am looking forward to this project and know I'm the woman for the job."

We went into his office. It invoked warm memories and we looked at each other briefly.

"I'm sorry we can't be together, Harry. I certainly agree wholeheartedly that a man and a woman should not be in an intimate relationship if they're working together. That doesn't make it any easier to keep my hands off of you!"

I smiled as I said this because I didn't want him to read too much into it. Indeed I would have loved to be kissing him frantically but knew that would be totally inappropriate.

"I know, my dear. I feel the same way. I want to thank you again for being strong last night. As you described your fantasy over our after dinner drinks, I became quite aroused. If you had wavered at the door, I would have gladly taken you to bed. I desperately wanted you when I left."

"In the long run," he continued, "I am confident we've made the right choice. I am very pleased that you're going to work with me on the CC's project. You are the perfect woman for the job and I'm going to be relying on your judgment throughout the process."

With that he presented me the written offer. It didn't take but a minute to read it and agree with the terms. They were exactly as he had outlined the night before. I wasn't surprised. Harry struck me as a shrewd businessman who would not try to sneak any changes into the letter.

"One more thing, Carolyn," he interjected. "I think you've been wonderful in spending so much of your money building your wardrobe to manage CC's for me. I have a signing bonus for you and insist you accept it. It is a business expense, Carolyn, nothing more."

With that he presented me with a check for $8,000. Wow, a girl could buy a lot of shoes with that I thought with a grin.

"Oh Harry, you are so generous. Here, let me sign the letter and we'll have a deal."

With that I signed his document. I know it was just a formality but I liked the professional touch. It was yet another sign that working for Harry would be a great experience. I was looking forward to being a very successful woman and to making him proud to have hired me.

"Wonderful, Carolyn," said Harry. He stood up and offered me his hand. I rose; we shook hands, smiling at each other. "Let's celebrate with a drink at the bar. I have a few things to talk over with you."

We went into the club and sat on bar stools. I carefully crossed my legs, showing off my t-straps and sheer stockings. I didn't let my skirt ride up too far but did expose some knee. Harry asked if he could smoke and I agreed to have a cigarette with him. I retrieved my pack of Virginia Slims from my purse. Harry lit it for me and we ordered our drinks.

"Now that you've officially come aboard, Carolyn, I have a surprise. I selected the site of CC's and am going to sign the papers in about an hour. Tomorrow around 10:00 I'd like to meet you and give you a tour. I'd like to begin planning the renovations at once so we can open before summer is over."

"Oh Harry, how wonderful for you! Of course I'll meet you. I can't wait to see what you have selected. I have some ideas but I'm sure they're pretty academic compared to what you're planning."

"Really?" he responded. "Please tell me what you've come up with so quickly."

"Come now, my dear. You must know I've been thinking about this since you told me about your plan. This may sound silly but here goes."

"I thought that we should install three rest rooms on both floors: men's, ladies' and gurl's." I spelled that latter for him. "You see, it technically isn't legal for a man dressed as a woman to use the ladies' room. At the same time, I know how I would feel going into a men's room dressed like this. It just seems that we should cater to our special clientele and this strikes me as a very thoughtful touch."

"I envision the gurl's rooms to be spacious and feminine. They should be places where our patrons can pamper themselves, primp and probably gossip a bit. Personally, I would love to have a proper place to fix my hair and makeup. What do you think?"

Harry was impressed. He hadn't considered that and realized how valuable my input would be in the days to come. I admit I was proud of myself. I felt like I had already contributed to our project!

"Carolyn, this arrangement is going to work out just as well as I had hoped. I knew as we talked about the project last night that you were the woman I needed to add the special touches I would never consider."

We clicked our glasses and toasted our new relationship. I felt like a partner with Harry and, although I knew that wasn't technically the case, was very excited about the future of CC's.

Harry had to leave to sign his papers. I put out my cigarette, smiling at the lipstick on the filter, and stood up.

"May I use the bathroom in your office please? I need to freshen up before I go."

"You know what, my dear - no one is here yet, why not use the ladies' room. You can get a feel for how it is set up."

"Great! I'll be right back. Just give me two minutes."

I went into the ladies' room and was surprised at how it was laid out. There was so much room! I went to the mirror and fussed with my hair. I touched up my lipstick and spritzed perfume lightly. As I looking into the mirror I was struck with the significance of what had happened. I was now committed to being Carolyn for the long haul.

I assessed the decision and realized that I was entirely thrilled with the prospect. I couldn't wait for tomorrow to see CC's location!

I came out and let Harry help me with my coat. We walked to my car, and I ran my arm through his.

"You know, Carolyn, I expect to treat you as a lady as long as we're working together. I'm glad you're letting me give you my arm. I would do this for any woman and certainly you should be no exception."

I smiled sweetly at him. I did like Harry and now that the romance was clearly gone I realized that he had the potential to be a great friend and mentor.

He opened my car door for me and I demurely slid behind the wheel.

"Meet me here at 10:00 tomorrow, ok?"

"I'll be here Harry. Thank you!"

Since I had decided to go to the Mary Kay party I thought I'd just pop over to Felicia's to kill some time. I always looked forward to seeing her.

"Carolyn! How wonderful that suit looks on you – and the shoes. You look quite the professional woman today!"

"Thank you, Felicia. I just thought I'd drop in for a few minutes. I want to tell you that I did accept Harry's offer. I think this will be an exciting venture and hope that you'll visit me at CC's when we open. Harry is signing the paperwork on the property today and I'm going to see it in the morning."

We chatted like magpies for awhile as the store wasn't busy. I told her how much I was looking forward to our dinner together and asked her if I could bring a bottle of wine.

She accepted that offer without a pause.

As we talked I browsed through the store. I stopped in the coat department and looked at a beautiful faux fox fur.

"Try it on, dear. I think the size is close."

Of course I did and it was heavenly! It was long, about mid-calf and ooh so soft. I simply had to have it! The price was reasonable but I didn't have enough cash with me.

"I think it's time Carolyn open an account here," offered Felicia. "I know I can trust you and you certainly are a super customer."

I agreed. We stopped at the accessories aisle and I found a wonderful pair of tan leather gloves that matched my new coat. I also picked out a black pair. I wasn't sure I would like wearing them as I often enjoyed looking at my pretty nails while driving.

Felicia assured me that no woman would be without gloves for a cold day. "You must protect you hands, dear. It wouldn't be wise to let them chap."

In the shoe department I picked out a pair of red platform heels. As I sat to try them on my skirt came up a bit. Felicia noticed I was wearing stockings.

"You really enjoy those, don't you dear? I had a feeling you were a garter girl."

We laughed and I explained how much I loved the sexy feel of the garters tugging at my stockings.

"I have something to show you, dear. Now that you've accepted your new job, I think you may need to consider an undergarment that combines your waist cincher and garter belt with a push up bra. You may need to attend a party and it is such fun to show serious cleavage. Come with me."

Felicia led me to the changing room and instructed me to strip. I must have looked quizzical because she took my hand and told me to trust her.

Of course I did so as she went to select the garment for me I carefully took off my clothes. I put on a robe that was hanging in the room and waited. Soon a gentle knock at the door told me she was back.

"Honey, try this one. I'll help you because this is a special garment."

Oh it was! It was a black tight girdle with a push up bra on top that could be worn with or without straps! There were garters, as promised, attached to the bottom.

Self consciously I stepped into it and slow pulled in up. It was very tight but I was able to get it on. Felicia showed me how to encase my breasts in the bra so that mounds surrounded my cleavage. Oh my, how exposed I felt.

"Just for fun, let's put on your stockings and suit. Don't bother with the cami for now.

Let me help you – I enjoy this and hope you don't think I'm being silly."

"Silly!" I thought. I loved the feel of her hands sliding my stockings up my legs and hooking them to the dangling garters. I stepped into my skirt and put on my shoes. Then she held my jacket for me. As I buttoned it I realized I was showing far more breast than I ever had.

"Oh Carolyn, look at yourself. That is a provocative look for you!"

I had already been to the mirror – you know me – and I was shocked at how alluring I looked. Felicia was standing behind me. She put her hand on my shoulder and turned me to her. Face to face, our eyes met. She kissed me ever so softly.

"Carolyn, I've wanted to do that since I met you. I certainly hope you are not offended. I have never seen a man in woman's clothing that was so attractive to me. I wouldn't sacrifice our friendship for anything but as you know, a girl can try."

I looked directly into her eyes as she spoke. As my answer I gently pulled her to me and kissed her back. I nearly swooned. Her mouth was delicious – she smelled wonderful and made me feel completely as a woman.

We stepped back. "I would love to keep going, Carolyn, but I can't do more now. I think we may have potential together. Certainly I don't want to rush things but I hope when you come for dinner Saturday we can explore our possibilities."

"I was thinking the same thing, my darling. Wow – what a wonderful surprise! You are such a perfect lady and you've stirred me deeply. I can't wait for Saturday!"

She squeezed my hands and chirped with delight.

"Yippee! I'll make a lovely dinner for us and we'll see where the evening goes."

I was elated. I knew Suzy would understand since we've talked about other people already. I could hardly believe my luck.

"Why don't you change before you leave, honey? I think you're a bit over the top for a Mary Kay party!"

"Felicia, if you don't mind, may I wear this home? I was going to change for the party anyway and I really love the feel of this garment. I promise to keep my coat pulled tightly so I don't offend anyone on my way home."

She laughed. "Offend anyone? Girl, you'll stop traffic. Certainly, wear it home. I'll bag your things and you can add this to your charge."

With a demure kissing of cheeks we parted at the door. I decided to wear my new fur – I just adored the softness around my neck. Underneath I felt so tingly with my cleavage so exposed. I wondered when I would have a chance to show off this look.

Arriving home, I quickly unpacked and stripped for a shower. As always, washing my waxed body was a sensuous delight as was the customary lotion application. I had decided to wear a simple sweater set to the Mary Kay party. I put on my white bra and waist cincher. I wore a simple pair of taupe panty hose that would go well with my flowing brown skirt.

After slipping on my mules I went into the bathroom to blow dry my hair. I rubbed a setting product into it and styled it quickly. Cindy had done such a wonderful job and I still enjoyed the highlights. After applying my makeup I went into my bedroom to finish dressing. I wore my red sweater set. It had a sleeveless top with an adorably embroidered sweater that hung nicely over my breasts.

Then I stepped into a white half skirt that had delightful laced frills along the bottom. I put on my light brown skirt and did a quick spin. I loved the way it flared out as I moved in a slow circle. The final step was my shoes. For the party I had decided on a sexy pair of bright red patent platform pumps. They had open toes and were simply to die for!

I selected a cute necklace consisting of a series of circles in various shades and sizes. The colors were gold and bronze. It was quite delicate and hung about four inches below my breasts. I loved the platform my breasts provided to show off my necklaces. It was such fun being a girl!

I had a set of three gold bracelets which I slipped onto my right arm. I wore my new watch on my left. I put on a pair of rings on my left ring finger. They were small and designed to wear together. My gold hoop earrings finished my accessories.

At my customary mirror check I smiled at the lady looking back at me. I went to my purse and dug out my lipstick. Applying it at the mirror, first from the tube and then a bit of gloss with a brush applicator, I pursed my lips in the reflection. I just LOVE lipstick.

It was time to go so I put on my fox coat. I knew Suzy would like that new addition. As I slung my purse over my shoulder I couldn't resist another preen at the mirror. Oh yes, the coat was perfect. I had grown such confidence. I sincerely believed no one would see me on the street and have a clue that there was a man camouflaged under all this finery.

Getting into my car, I began the drive to Suzy's house. I stopped for gas, paying at the pump and smiled with a man filling up at the pump across from me. It seemed so natural and that, of course, was heavenly!

It was such a gorgeous evening I thought I might stop at the park for a few minutes. It would be nice to sit outside and have a cigarette. I realized I didn't have a lighter so I went in to the station and purchased one.

"That will be $1.79 Ma'am", said the attendant. I reached into my purse for the cash and smiled inwardly. Ma'am sounded very good to this girl!

I drove to the park and sat at a bench overlooking a playing field. I began to reflect on my new life. I thought back to my night at the club when I met Harry and remembered how it felt to be kissed by him and to return his kisses. I savored the memory of sucking him and the taste of his sperm. It had made me feel so much like a woman.

I thought of Cindy, Annie, Felicia and especially Suzy. Oh that Suzy! How much I had learned from her and how wickedly delicious was sex with her! As I smoked my cigarette I gazed at my red nails holding the lipstick colored filter. There were so many times during each of the last few days that I basked in a special part of being in woman's clothing.

I had learned to love the feel of stockings and hose on my legs. The simple act of crossing them gave me tingles. I enjoyed looking at my heel clad feet and loved walking in heels. I had learned to walk slowly, placing one foot in front of the other.

The scent of my perfume, the jut of my breasts and the wind on my skirted legs were other delights I had come to embrace. Of course, my favorite was the taste and feel of lipstick. I was hooked!

As I prepared to leave I began to feel an ache to be with Suzy. I hoped that there would be some serious Suzy time after the Mary Kay meeting. Of all the things we did together, my favorite was just after climaxing in her when I had the chance to lick her clean. I closed my eyes and could smell her. Wow, I really needed to be with her!

I walked to my car and stood looking across the park. I was so lucky to have found this new exciting life. It was hard to believe I had come so far in so short a time. It was a profound realization that I had no intent to be anyone but Carolyn for a long, long time.

As I drove to Suzy's house I spent the time sensing each part of my body. From the feel of my heels as I drove to the panty hose, waist cincher and my bra encasing my breasts I marveled at how wonderful everything blended to capture womanhood. I loved the hoop earrings, my painted nails and ringed fingers, the jangle of my bracelets and the way my necklace hung over the top of my breasts. I focused on my skirt and realized how I adored wearing skirts and dresses. Finally I basked in the sensation of my fur coat.

As I pulled into her driveway, I began to revel in the hope of what may be ahead for us that night. I trembled with anticipation as I turned off the car. I opened my purse and took a mint to erase the taste of the cigarette. I gave myself a quick spritz of perfume and was ready for what I hoped would be a wonderful night!
