Season: Autumn
Weather: Raining all day
Day of the week: Saturday
Date: 3rd March, 2024
Today, we dropped off the coats and suits for dry cleaning. And then because it was raining, we went for a walk in the shopping centre. The same one where I passed out last time. It felt more like an inspection with the way the two bosses were discussing decor, shop arrangements, cleanliness and so on. They observed what the common customer base was by looking at what clothes people were wearing and whether those clothes had been bought in this shopping centre.
A man in a business suit came running out of a service corridor where the shopping centre management offices were. I left the men to talk and wandered in the vicinity, looking at all the things in the shop windows that I would likely never buy because of how expensive everything was here.
The lingerie customer service lady who had served me last time recognised me and waved me over with excitement.
"Baby girl, how are the clothes? Do you like them? Do they fit properly? Have your, uh, bosses been pleased with them? Are you feeling better?"
I felt my blood pressure shoot up and my face feels like to would drip if my cheeks were to be squeezed. I felt like I might explode.
"Lower your voice," I pleaded with a hiss, glancing over at where the bosses were talking. "Tone it down. I don't want to end up in hospital again. The lecture the doctor gave us last time was more than enough."
"Ah. So sorry," the lady pulled me into the shop. "Tell me, tell me. Have you got together with them yet? Done anything exciting?"
"No!" I almost squealed and took a moment to try and catch my breath. "I told you. They're just by bosses. We just happen to be living in the same building. That's all it is."
"You three are living together? Ooh, girl. Kinky. I like it. They're both a good catch. Either one is a good catch. With both, you'll be set for life. You'd never need to lift a finger... or leave the bed," the lady waggled her eyebrows at me meaningfully, making me cover my face and groan. "Do you need help inviting or... seducing?"
"No. No, thank you," I rubbed my face and taking firm control of my emotions. "Please thank the other ladies who helped me choose clothes last time. They've been very comfortable."
"No worries. We've all been wondering if what we got you last time was enough or not. Let us know if you need more. We'd be happy to oblige. There's no such thing as too much for a woman's wardrobe. We didn't even get to introduce you to the shoe shop at the end of the corridor. They have some very nice boots that would go well with your outfits, especially in this colder and wetter weather. If your entire wardrobe was shot, do you need shoes as well?"
"Um," I rubbed the back of my neck and then nodded. I supposed I did. "I haven't been outside much these few days, so I haven't thought about shoes."
"Then if you have the chance today, go down to the shoe shop at the end of the corridor and tell Macey that Loreen sent you over. After you're done there, you'll likely need some bags and accessories to match your clothes and shoes. On the second floor, there's a little bags and accessories boutique. All hand crafted and made. The designs are cute and lovely. They'd suit you well. Next door to it is a hand embroidery clothing boutique. Some of their stuff will also suit your face and figure. Go have a look. Tahya there mentioned how she had just finished making the most beautiful dress she's ever made and she's very proud of it. She'll only sell it if it suits the person, so go have a peek and a try."
"Sounds good," said Stony Boss's voice from behind me, making me jump and hands on my shoulders stabilised me.
When had the boys finished talking and come over? How did I not notice?
While I was catching my breath and recovering from my fright, the customer service lady spoke to the bosses, suggesting other places they can try out and even a tucked away little restaurant in one of the nearby small shopping streets that they could bring me, despite the rain.
"Thank you for your advice, Loreen," Stony Boss nodded while the biggest boss of all tucked me under an arm to better support me. "If all those places are really as good as you said, I'll ask your boss to pass on a commission for you."
"Oh, really?" Loreen's eyes lit up. "I'm happy to be of service, with or without the pay."
"Then never mind the commission," Stony Boss teased while the light in Loreen's eyes dimmed.
"That - that's ok. Your girlfriend is so cute, I can't help wanting to help her out," Loreen's voice sounded slightly forced and the biggest boss of all hugged me to him a little tighter. "The way she reacts when embarrassed just makes me want to tease her more."
"Isn't that right?" Stony Boss agreed, while typing a message on his phone. "But she's the big boss's girl, so..."
The biggest boss of all shamelessly nodded his head and dropped a kiss on my cheek, making me so flustered I didn't know what to do with myself.
"Boss!" I protested.
"Aren't you my girl?" the biggest boss of all asked me.
How was I meant to answer that? I couldn't say 'no' without embarrassing him and I couldn't say 'yes' because it wasn't true. Loreen's eyebrows rose and she looked at me meaningfully while I covered my burning face.
Stony Boss's mobile phone rang and a loud, male voice was heard shouting on the other end.
"You and Seamus are at my shopping centre? Wait there. The manager should be there, right? Let him entertain you and keep track of the purchases first. I'm coming!"
The phone was hung up before Stony Boss could say a word.
"Looks like we'll be able to get you your commission if Gerald is coming, Loreen. Look forward to it," Stony Boss smiled and waved. "We'll be back for more advice if needed."
"You're my girl," the shameless boss poked the tip of my nose with a finger with a tone of finality while I fluttered and spluttered helplessly under his arm. We followed Stony Boss, waving goodbye to the excited Loreen who was hopping on one foot in her high heels, and then then the other.
"If she's your girl, make sure you see her in the sexy things I gave her last time and tell me if your not satisfied," Loreen called, making head turn toward us and making me feel like turning into a cooked shrimp.
"Oh yes," the shameless boss nodded at Loreen with a smile and then looked down at me. "We should definitely do that when your health is better, you can handle more activity and the doctor gives us the go ahead."
I tripped on my own foot not once, but three times when trying to regain my balance.
"Careful there," the shameless boss easily supported my tilting and stumbling, while I clutched my chest, glaring at the ground. He kissed my cheek and then seeing how hard I was breathing and how I was clutching my chest, he patted my back and apologised.
Why was the ground not opening up a hole for me to hide in?
Stony Boss made sure we visited all the places Loreen had suggested and without much of my input, I was ordered about like a doll. The only place we didn't go was the little restaurant outside on one of the nearby shopping streets. Stony Boss promised they'd take me another time. We played dress ups and bought a lot even before the shopping centre boss called Gerald called to announce his arrival.
We all met back up in front of the lingerie store where Stony Boss showed the records that the shopping centre manager had been making of our purchases. Gerald gave Loreen a 10% commission on the purchased goods on the spot, commending her hard work in promoting not just her own goods but the other stores as well. He discussed with Stony Boss and the shameless boss
Loreen positively beamed.
"If we ever set up a privatised service for a shopping assistant, you'll be the first we call upon," Gerald told Loreen. "I'll tell your boss to give you a bonus and I'll give him a discount on his rent this month for your help in taking care of this lady as well."
My legs were sore and I felt like I had been to the gym to do a lot of exercise. I was tired and droopy.
"Looks like that's going to be it for today," Stony Boss said, glancing at how I was leaning on the shameless boss more and more, while they were chatting with Gerald and the shopping centre manager.
Then I was whisked away, Stony Boss carried all the bags and before I knew it, we were sitting in the car. Moments later, I was being carried back into the house, my shoes were being taken off by the men and then I was being tucked back into bed.
"Don't worry about dinner," the shameless boss told me. "I'll do it. I'm going to celebrate making you my girlfriend tonight."
I opened my mouth to protest but a finger on my lips stopped me.
"Give him a chance," Stony Boss whispered as the shameless boss bounced off to the kitchen with alacrity. "He's been so depressed lately, worrying about why you keep refusing our advances and about your health."
Stony Boss sauntered out of the room after dropping a kiss on my forehead and telling me to get some rest before dinner.
But consent! What about my consent? Was shameless boss really going to go the domineering route? What should I do?
