A Work In Progress

Chapter Ten: A Teasing

I knew he was, I could see the outline of him in his slacks. I should have been outraged or at least creeped out by it, but it made me feel pretty and there was a sense of power in it too. He stumbled over answering me, so as he did I took the dress over and laid it on the couch. The robe I wore threatened to reveal my backside to him. It was for when I was a taller man, so it did not. .Just wanted to make sure you got that f f f for your party.

You ve been looking at me, haven t you Ralph? I turned to face him, unable to hide most of the grin I was feeling.

No, no ma am. He looked away quickly.

Oh now Ralph, I shook my head. Your nephew, I still could not say his name, didn t run me around all day with no money up front for no reason.

He shouldn t have done that to you. I could see the anger in Ralph s eyes over my humiliation at the hands of his nephew.

You ve never been married have you Ralph? The question came out of me before I realized it.

No, Ms Adair. He blushed madly and looked down at his shoes. I suddenly realized something. Ralph was a kind heart and a good man, and he was what people back home would have called A little touched in the head. Ralph was sweet and decent and simple minded. Not enough to make him disabled or require he have help, just enough that he would have been used and taken advantage of, and I had petitioned over and over to remove this sweet man before all this change. Now, I was teasing him horribly. I crossed over to him and wrapped my arms around him and hugged him. He lived with insults, I was sure as I had been around the tenants that regularly trashed him and demanded his job be given to someone more qualified. My heart broke for him and I could feel him tense as I hugged him. Finally his arms encircled me. I have to admit, he was a strong man and it felt good to be held, better than I thought it would. He still had an erection, but I had done that to him so I would politely not tease nor mention it.

I was teasing you before Ralph. I admitted in a very quiet voice. I was being mean and teasing you before. I stepped back and pulled my robe a little tighter. Ralph was practically glowing red now.

S okay. He muttered. I sh sh should go. He turned and started to the door.

Ralph, my voice stopped him, you can come talk to me anytime you want okay?

Thank you Ms Adair. He smiled a little.

Call me Jamie. I smiled to him as he looked back to me. He blushed scarlet and rushed out of my apartment. I scooped up my black dress and headed into my bedroom. There was a full-length three sided mirror. I stood there in my robe a long moment looking at myself in it and thinking of all the times the old James Adair had talked about the vanity of women and laughed about it with the guys over a beer. I could not recall one woman s apartment that had such a mirror in it. I stripped out of my robe and looked over my temporary body again. I had a little gut and not the abs of the swimsuit models I used to date. I used to openly encourage women to have breast enhancements, now I was looking at breasts that needed a 38 F cup bra. They were heavy, and, quite frankly, they kept getting in my way. I could tell by the definition of the muscles in my legs that this was a body that had seen workouts but gravity and the weight of these things meant that they were not round and perfect like men think all breasts should be. I turned and frowned. Thanks to the wide curving flare of my hips and most likely the in-line skating and cycling I did almost daily before, I had a full round rear-end. A big ass.

I stepped away from the mirror and pulled on the g-string panties. It was almost worse than a wedgie and I knew it was going to annoy me all night. It took me a few times to get the strapless bra on right, but I finally did. The dress was the hardest thing yet and in the end I ended up with a wire coat hanger in the zipper s tab to get it on. When I looked in the mirror I was pleased. I was not a swimsuit model but I was pretty and feminine. I gathered up my purse and headed for the door, trusting Ralph did have my transportation arranged so that I would not have to worry about wrecking my car on the way home.
