Offer to help

As easy as it would have been to just remain silent, Leanne couldn't just stand there while the woman struggled. Even if it meant creating more problems for herself. "Um... Do you want a hand?" she asked.

"Oh!" squeaked the worker, startled by the sudden voice. "Is that Leanne?"

"Yea," replied the young woman, already beginning to wonder if this was the best idea. "Shall I help you with those?"

"Oh, that would be fantastic!" she answered between heaving breathing. "Could you just grab those ones at the front?" Leanne smiled as she suddenly realised by taking the boxes she could hide most of her body and the fact she wasn't wearing many clothes. She stepped forward and took hold of the cargo before moving back with her rear against the wall. "Oh thank you, love." panted the woman, her face bright red as it came into view. "You can put them down if you want."

"That's okay," replied Leanne, making sure to keep the boxes low enough to cover her current state of undress. "Where are you going with these?"

"We're setting up a little Halloween party for some of the residents. Some of the like to celebrate at this time of year." came the reply. "Nothing too scary. We don't want to be giving them a heart attack," she added with a chuckle. "We have a special room for events like this. It's just around the corner."

"I'll let you lead the way," offered Leanne, aware that the woman would be able to see her lack of clothes if she was in front of her. The worker turned and trundled down the corridor, not struggling quite so much now without as many boxes to carry, and Leanne following close behind.

They reached the room and the woman was able to carefully nudge open the door. The two of them entered with the member of staff indicating where to place the boxes. "You can just drop them over there." Leanne did as she was asked before standing behind the pile so she wasn't fully seen. "You wouldn't think decorations and costumes would be so heavy!" puffed the worker as she continued to breathe heavily.

"What kind of costumes?" asked Leanne, suddenly intrigued as she sought to rectify her current predicament.

"Just some typical Halloween costumes," she answered. "Nothing too flash. They're mainly for the staff but a few of the residents wear them too." The woman began sorting through the boxes while Leanne's mind went into action.

"Can I try one on?" she asked hopefully.

"I don't see why not," replied the worker. "You can come to the party then too. Always good to have an extra pair of hands to help."

As the woman continued with her sorting Leanne tore open a box and delved inside. She found a ragtag assortment of clothing. Various costumes and accessories in all shapes and sizes. It wasn't necessarily what she would normally choose to wear but her situation was somewhat limited. She figured she would be able to pull together something decent from the options she had. Quickly she discarded everything except her panties and changed into her new outfit.

The dress she chose was obviously designed for someone much shorter and on Leanne it appeared a little inappropriate for working in an old people's home. It was red with a sexy black lace trim and fit her exceptionally well. It also amplified her cleavage somewhat, which was great since she no longer had her bra. She added a pair of dark stockings to combat the shortness of the dress and some black heels she found in the bottom of the box. To finish with she put on a pair of devil horns and attached a pointed tail to her tight rear, just to give it something of a Halloween look. Fully dressed again she stepped out from behind the pile of boxes.

"Well you certainly look nice," commented the worker with a friendly smile. She'd finally finished her task of organising the boxes and was preparing to leave. "There's nothing else to do for the moment so you can either wait here for an hour or just go and visit some of the other residents." The woman started leaving before turning back with a grin of her face. "Just try not to scare anybody!" And with that she was gone, chortling to herself, leaving Leanne alone in the room.
