Ladies Night at the Auction House

“First thing first, you should pick up the drinks and snacks!” Stephanie noted. They headed to the food kiosk and the elegant lady picked out her order. Kayla was expecting fancy sounding finger foods and expensive sounding wines, but was surprised to see the lady choose bar foods like beer, chips, pizza and fries. It ended up being a big order and had to be packed up in large boxes and bagged. Kayla stacked them together and balanced them in her arms. “Are you going to be OK with all that, dear?” Steph asked.

“I’ll be fine,” Kayla smiled. Her boss nodded appreciatively and led the way to the seats. Kayla puffed up her chest and carried the order proudly. She only hoped the seats weren’t too far away. The food was hot and dangerous against her bare skin and the beer clung precariously in her fingers from their six pack box.

The elder woman guided Kayla over to the elevators. Kayla suddenly got a bad feeling in her stomach. “Are you sure this is the way to your seats?” she asked her new boss.

The woman in the revealing gown turned to Kayla with a clack of her stiletto heels and she rubbed Kayla’s shoulder comfortingly. “We have a private box, away from all the hubbub of the viewing room. It’s somewhere to feel more… comfortable…”

Kayla nodded and took a breath. There was nothing she could do if she wanted to get a tip for this. She held on and took the ride up to the private seating.

The private room was more like a hotel suite. They entered a foyer that opened up into the living room. There, two other ladies were seated on a leather couch, in front of a giant flatscreen. They were dressed more for a sleepover than a formal event.

“You’re back!” called out the Asian girl in a slinky crop top and pajama shorts. “We saw you on the feed, picking up this pretty young lady!”

Kayla blushed.

“And the food!” added the third girl. A redhead wearing green silk pajamas. She stood up and helped Kayla with the food. They took it to the coffee table and spread out the contents.

“Kayla, these are my friends, Kelly and Greta!” Stephanie introduced to her. Kayla stopped what she was doing to greet the others properly.

Kelly waved from the couch, “Nice to meet you!” Greta nodded and waved, already stuffing her mouth with a slice of pizza.

“Kayla is a new recruit!” Stephanie announced.

“Oh fun!” the redhead replied between chews. “How are you liking this place?”

“It’s… a little overwhelming!” Kayla admitted.

“That’s true,” Kelly nodded.

“Which is why we opt for the private booth,” Stephanie told her, after stepping into the next room. She spoke loudly so Kayla could still hear. “Here, we can let our hair down and not worry about what others are thinking.”

Stephanie returned, wearing a thin negligee that went down to her upper thigh. She slipped in between Kelly and Greta. She then invited the newbie serving girl over. “Sit down and join us! Have a beer, have some food!”

Kayla looked around, not sure if this was a trick. “Are you sure?”

“Yeah, we’re all friends here!” Kelly assured her. Greta nodded, still enjoying her food. She patted the open spot on the couch for Kayla to sit.
