Who Said That Three is a Crowd?

Part 2 – The Set-Up

I wondered down the corridor in search of TJ. I was about 5 minutes late for our appointment. I wondered what sort of reaction I would get from TJ. I knocked on the door and entered her work area. TJ was working at her sketchpad.

"You are Late. I haven't got all day to hang around here. Lets get on with the fitting. You are just like your husband," she said not even looking up at me.

I took off the trouser suit and the fitting began. I could feel the contempt for me (as a man) oozing from here every pore.

I asked "Why are you so hateful of him?"

"This guy buys a few bits of my work and he seems to think he owns you. Did he tell you that he assaulted me when he took me home on Monday? I bet he didn't. All men are B******S." came the angry reply.

I gulped and bit my tongue. I had almost let the cat out of the bag in my anger at what she had just said. However I managed to regain my composure.

"Mike told me how he had stopped you from falling over after you had tripped over you own feet if that is what you meant…" I replied.

"He touched me up if you much know"

"He told me that all he did was hold you around your waist to stop you falling over. That is certainly not being touched up in my book… Am I correct?"

She grunted a sort of acceptance and we got on with the fitting. Some of her anger had been dissipated. The Evening Gown was going to take a bit of alteration due to my height. I was a good 4 inches taller than TJ, even more in heels. It would take a few days.

I asked "Would you travel up to Banbury when they are finished. I will pay your expenses. Bring Judy alone as well you can make a day of it"

All she could say in reply was "Will he be there?"

"Not if you don't want him there"

"Ok then I will do it but I will have to ask Judy. I'll only come if she does too"

"I'm sure she will agree to coming with you. I will pick you both up from Banbury Station. Will Wednesday be ok?"

"Yes"

I gave her my phone number and she said that she would let me know what train they would be on.

With that I took my leave and started to make my way out of the college.

Judy was waiting outside when I went to my car. She asked how it had gone. I told her about the encounter. I said that TJ had not discovered my little secret and would be asking her to come with her up to Oxfordshire next Wednesday. She readily agreed to come along as well. She was in fact pretty keen. We swapped phone numbers so the she could keep me up to date with events with TJ. She turned and left but not before saying "I think I fancy you something rotten"

"Freddie or Mike?" I asked but she was gone.

I got a phone call the next evening from Judy who, explained that TJ was going to call the following day and that given here attitude it should be "Freddie" who should answer the phone. I thanked her for the warning and promised the only Freddie would be taking phone calls then next day.

TJ called around lunchtime. Her attitude was a bit less icy but not much. We confirmed which train that she and Judy were going to be on.

Wednesday arrived and I went to pick up TJ & Judy at Banbury Station. The Aston was only a two-seater and as there were going to be three of us so I went in my aged Ford Escort. The train was only 5 minutes late and I saw the girls coming out of the Station. They were obviously looking for the Aston. They were both surprised when I showed them the plain Ford. TJ came out with the quip

"He drives an Aston and you only get a itsy-bitsy Escort. Typical Men. Pah!" Judy smiled at me. She was indeed keeping her promise to keep silent (for the time being). I was dressed in a simple two-piece suit of cream linen. Judy commented me on the choice. Saying that it suited me well. It should have done, it was custom made by Dior for my Mother in the late fifties. I had since gotten the skirt shortened and a few other minor alterations to bring it up to date a bit.

I was wondering if TJ possessed any other clothes. She was still wearing what were apparently the same clothes as the previous Monday. Judy on the other hand was quite well dressed in a grey two-piece suit with a pencil skirt that was just above the knees. She had a pretty shapely pair of legs as well. Not bad I thought.

By the time we got to my home TJ was getting impatient.

"Will this take long? There is a train back to London at two. I want to be on it."

Judy came to my rescue.

"Be quiet TJ. It is not every day that you get an expenses paid trip to the Country"

Just then we pulled into the drive on my home. TJ was still being very negative about the day.

Judy was cooing appreciatively as she stared at the house and its grounds. I could almost hear the machinery inside her head costing everything down to the last penny.

We went inside and I took the girls upstairs to a spare bedroom where I had got things setup for trying on Dresses etc.

Judy was admiring the décor and furnishings. I could also see that TJ was not missing at thing.

I tried on the first of TJ's dresses. This was one that I could wear during the day. It was very comfortable even though I was well corseted. TJ could not help her self though.

"Why do you wear a corset? You don't need one. Is it to please him? I bet it is"

"No" I replied. "I wear them because I like them. He has no say in what I wear. I dress to please myself. Most of the time what pleases me also pleases him. Mike would never dare to tell me what I should wear. We don't have that sort of relationship"

"Good. I'm glad you don't let him dominate you" she remarked.

Judy was grinning. I could tell that she was enjoying our little game.

I then tried on Judy's cocktail dress. I put my highest and best court shoes to go with it. It looked great especially with those 6-inch heels and black seamed fishnet stockings. Pure men bait. Even TJ nodded with appreciation at her friends work.

Lastly, came TJ's evening gown. It felt so good to wear. The alterations were perfect. Once that was over, I suggested lunch. I sent them downstairs while I put on something different. This was the outfit that I had worn when I visited the college a few weeks previously. A quick dab with a bit of Chanel No5 behind the ears and I went down to meet them.

They were both in the drawing room talking feverishly amongst themselves. They stopped when I entered the room.

"Come on girls, lunch is in the Kitchen" I led the way towards the rear of the house.

TJ recognized the outfit. "So it was you who was spying on us a few weeks ago. I thought you were a relative of the Dean" she commented.

"I am just that TJ. I am a cousin of the Dean. Who else would have pointed out the star students of the year and arranged for them to be sitting at the same table as Mike?" I said sarcastically as I dished up the lunch. I saw the sharp look that TJ gave me. Judy sat there grinning like the proverbial Cheshire cat.

I had prepared a simple lunch earlier in the day. A salad with a choice of simple meats and pate's accompanied by chilled White Bordeaux.

Whilst we were eating I made a proposition to both TJ & Judy.

I took a deep breath (well as deep as you can when corseted).

"I have a proposal for you both" I started.

"I think you are great designers and as far as I know, you don't have jobs yet so, I would like you both to come and work for me here. I can finance you to be creative and produce quality clothes. I only ask that I get first choice to wear them and that you will make some things to my designs. I have an extensive workshop in the outbuildings that I will show you after we finish".

I paused a second before continuing

"Don't make any comment until you have seen the workshops and the draft contract I will give you when we leave. Please take a few days to look it over, get advice and I will get your answers next Wednesday. I have booked a table at the Savoy Grill for lunch so wear something appropriate"

The last point was directed at TJ. I could see Judy beaming out of the corner of my eye.

I could tell that both were literally gobsmacked. I changed the subject onto how they had become interested in a career in Fashion Design. The relief that TJ showed at the change of subject was noticeable. It appeared that it was too much to take in. I was sure that Judy would get it all sorted out before they got back to London.

Then a strange thing happened. I felt TJ rubbing her leg against mine. Then Judy did the same. I felt that I was winning the battle.

After we finished eating, I showed them the workshops. They were both impressed with the facilities I had on offer.

The time came for me to take them to the station. TJ did not show her original keenness to return to London but Judy said that they had lots of things to talk about. TJ nodded in agreement.

As I watched them head into the station, Judy turned, smiled and gave me the thumbs up. So far so good. I heaved a great sigh of relief.

Later that evening the phone rang. I answered as Mike. It was Judy. This was not all that unexpected.

"You certainly pulled a fast one today! I am most impressed. For me the Answer is yes! All we have to do is get TJ on our side".

"We still have one problem. I think you know what that is"

"Yes" she replied. "I have been giving it some thought. Why don't you be a full time Female?"

"I would like to do that but I have things that I have to do as a male" was my answer I continued

"I am going to have to come clean to TJ about who I am and, sooner rather than later"

Judy agreed that this should happen soon otherwise it could really hurt TJ"

We returned to discussing TJ.

"Let me work on TJ over the weekend. I will give you an update on Monday"

With that she hung up.

The weekend was seemingly never ending. I could not wait for the new week to commence, as I could not concentrate on anything at all for more that five minutes.

Judy called on Monday Afternoon. She had not made much progress with TJ on a personal front but all the people who had examined my offer were mightily impressed and could not find anything wrong. She asked "If TJ does not agree would the offer still be open for me. I'm very comfortable with your dual life. You know that I fancy you a lot"

It felt very strange for a woman to be saying this to me.

"I know you do. But I think we could be very strong as a trio. I know you have had a relationship with TJ"

"How did you guess?" she asked.

"I noticed the level of non verbal communication between you both during Lunch last week. You were both feeling up my legs by the way"

"Bitch!" she said laughingly and hung up.

I traveled down to London on Tuesday Evening and booked into a suite at the Savoy. I had decided to move lunch to the suite and be a chameleon during lunch. I was going to reveal all.

I had suitably tipped the Maitre'D so that when they arrived he would escort them up to my suite. A light lunch was waiting them as well as a suitable chilled bottle of Dom Perignon to toast either success or drown my sorrows.

Right on time they arrived. I was amazed. They both had taken my hit and were wearing some really beautiful clothes. No more Grunge from TJ. I bet they had turned more than a few heads downstairs.

I was glad that I had also dressed up a bit. TJ was actually very beautiful. She had even brushed out her hair and done her makeup more conventionally. I could see that she was a skilled artiste with makeup. My hopes rose appreciably.

We sat down at the table and got right down to business. As they sat, their skirts rode up and I could see the tell tale sight of lacy stocking tops. I could tell that Judy had been working overtime on TJ. Just perfect. If this came off, I could tell that I would owe Judy big time.

"Well Ladies I can see that you have made a decision. Am I correct that you are going to agree to my offer? I think it could be positive for us all."

"We have a few questions before we give you our answer" said TJ

"Go on" I urged.

"What about Mike? What part does he play in all this?"

"He is away for about six months of the year. This little scheme is all mine. Anyway he is not such a bad guy once you get to know him. You will see very little of him"

"Anything else?" I asked.

TJ said, "The money is not enough! Add an extra couple of thousand and we may agree"

I could see that this was a bluff so I went along with it.

"You won't have any living expenses. I'm taking care of that. You will live in the house. That should count for several thousand a year at least!"

TJ looked at Judy and nodded.

Judy said "We agree to your plan. It is too good an offer to refuse" she paused

"Besides which we haven't had any others that come anyway near this so how could we refuse"

With that we signed the contracts and toasted to success with Champagne

We had lunch served to us. About half way through I excused my self and went to the bathroom. As I was heading there I nodded at the waiter. He had been forewarned and well tipped to leave the room to the three of us.

In the bathroom I took off the wig I was wearing and quickly removed most of the makeup to reveal Mike. I flushed the toilet, took a deep breath and went out to meet the two most wonderful women I had ever met.

TJ gasped screamed in shock. Judy said nothing but the grin on her faced said it all. TJ turned to her.

"You knew about this all along?"

"I said that Mike was a special kind of Guy" Judy countered.

"How long have you known?"

"Since the day of the first fitting. I recognized the smile"

I could see that I needed to try to build some bridges here but some plain speaking was going to be called for.

"TJ. I really do fancy you. You are an incredibly talented and exceedingly beautiful woman. I do think that a lot of your life is an act. You hide that beauty behind those black clothes and ugly makeup. Yet, look at you today. I see confidence oozing out of every pore of you body."

I continued, "You are coming to work for Freddie not Mike. Do you want to continue and honor those freshly signed contracts or shall I tear them up right now and we will probably never meet again"

Now for the final bit. I said to myself as I paused for a second.

"I would never have exposed myself to you like this if I did not really mean what I have said and proposed here today. You could leave here and make some quick money by going to the Tabloid Press but I don't think you will do that."

Phew I had done it. There were the first people I had 'come out' to in years. My heart was pounding. It was crunch time.

TJ looked at Judy. She nodded. "Let us discuss this alone for a few minutes. We will go into the Bedroom. You go and sort out your makeup. It looks terrible. You look like a man in drag"

I had hopes that all would turn out well as they went into the bedroom and shut the door. I went into the toilet (There are two in this type of suite) and started repairing my makeup. One look in the mirror told me that it was better to start again after cleaning my eyes properly this time.

I was so engrossed in my repair work that, I failed to notice the door opening and two lovely corseted beauties entered and grabbed my by the waist and literally dragged me into the bedroom. I had my answer YES…

They stripped off my top and skirt and lay me down on the bed. They did the same. We talked over things, our dreams and aspirations. I felt so at home with these two. Life as a cross-dresser can be very lonely at times.

TJ started relaxing and opening up. She started smiling which I had not really seen before. There was a good deal of fondling, cuddling and kissing but no sex. I didn't want to ruin things at this stage especially, as far as TJ was concerned.

I felt that there was a long and happy future in store for us.

After a couple of hours, I felt that we had relaxed sufficiently enough, I teased Judy in that as she was a novice at wearing corsets, she should be subject to some extensive corset training. "How Much Training?" she asked. "I looked at TJ and said "About 18 inches worth I think". I guessed that TJ's waist was about 22 inches. Mine was 24. I could go down to 22 if I tried but not for long periods. TJ held Judy down while I reduced her waist by another 2 inches. Now it was equal to mine.

"How do you move in these things? This is my first time wearing one and you do this to me!!! I will get my revenge," She gasped.

"No doubt you will my dear. No doubt you will". I said as we all giggled together like a trio of adolescent teenagers.

We spent the afternoon in bed together just getting to know each other and enjoy their company.

It was late afternoon when we all seemed to want to answer the call of nature together. This was a natural break in the wonderful chain of events that been going on that day.

We repaired our disheveled makeup and hair and got dressed again.

As we sat down in the sitting area of the suite TJ said

"What happens next?"

"Mike has to go way for about 4 to 6 weeks on business during which time I suggest that you take a few weeks holiday and really enjoy yourselves. Get out of London. Go anywhere you want" I paused, reached into my handbag and pulled out two envelopes.

"These envelopes each contain £5000 in cash. It is for you to spend as you want but I think that you each ought to buy a car, as we will be living out in the country. The rest is for you to spend as you please but I suggest that some is spent on business clothes just like the sort of things you have on today. Go and have some fun and I will give Judy a call when I get back"

"Where are you going? Can't we come to?" asked Judy obviously not wanting to let me out of her sight and the dream to end.

"No sorry you can't come. It's Mike's business not Freddy"

"You still have not said where you are going and what Mike is going to be doing?" asked TJ sounding a bit worried.

"I am going to make sure there is enough money for you two to spend. Don't worry its not illegal or dangerous just, family business. I will explain it all when I get back. You have discovered enough about me for one day"

I rang to concierge and got them to get my car ready to leave.

"The room is paid for until tomorrow morning. Stay here and have some fun. There is a £250 limit on Room Service so don't go to mad with the bubbly. I will give you a call when I get home."

I kissed them both deeply and got a lot of tongue in return

I picked up the contracts they had signed and tore them up.

"After those kisses, I don't think we will be needing those any more. Will we?"

I got a grin from TJ that said lots about the change that had come over her in a few short days.

They both had a sad but strangely happy look on their face as I left them alone but holding hands together. I could not wait for us to meet again.

End of Part 2.

 

Authors note.

That's all from the Trio for now. However if there is a positive reaction from readers then a few more adventures could see the light of day.
