A day of nerves

This chapter will look at Scarlett’ perspective.

“Okay breathe girl, you have 9 hours that is tons of time to sort out what you are eating and maybe what you are wearing. You still have one class today but that’s okay its only ethics and if there’s one thing you learn in law its throw ethics out the window as soon as they become inconvenient. But on the upside Erin will be there and I can ask her about my plan.” You slowly convince yourself that everything is going to be fine and stop yourself from hyper ventilating.

You take a big breath as you walk away from the tennis court. You make sure Isabella has walked off before you start leaving, not wanting her to notice you were stressing yourself out after doing everything you could to act cool when you told her you would see her tonight. Eventually she disappeared from view and you left.

You then met up with Erin and some of the other girls and slugged your way through two hours of ethics.

“My god it’s just so preachy, I get there’s the law and then there’s best practice but fuck me I’ve got 20 examples just off the top of my head where none of that works.” Erin finishes her rant with a massive sigh as you both leave the room.

“I know right it’s like they just expect that everyone has the time and energy to do all this extra bullshit.” You join her in the sigh as you come to a bit of a stop outside the lecture hall.

“Umm hey I was wondering if I could ask you a question or two, I’ve got a bit of a situation that I could use a hand with and you did say us girls were all a team last week so…” You try your best not to sound overly needy but you are pretty sure you come off like a total pansy.

“Yeah of course do you want me to call the rest of the girls? We can hold a ‘help Scarlett with her problem’ summit.” Erin says with a big smile.

“Uhhh I don’t think I'm quite ready for Morgan to weigh in just yet.”

“Hmm yeah she can be a little overbearing sometimes, anyway lets grab lunch and a coffee, I'm keen to know what’s got you frazzled.”

“Aww man do I look that bad?” You pout as you walk off.

“Haha only cause I know what you’re normally like.”

You come to a little café just off campus and sit down.

“I figured if you had stuff to talk about we should go slightly off campus so you are less likely to see anyone you know.”

You smile, she’s almost read you mind, you order then sit down, even the chairs are nice and comfy “ Well, you know how I said a couple of weeks ago there was someone I was thinking about.”

Her concerned face disappears in a second and is replaced with an enormous smile “Ooo girl, spill.”

You continue on “Well so that week I was pushing myself real hard in training and I was having a bad morning, just feeling real sick in the stomach and everything. I like nearly passed out and they stopped training and not only helped me up but pretty much carried me back to my room.” You make sure you don’t ascribe a gender to the heroine of your story cause you aren’t 100% certain where Erin sits on all that yet.

“Ooo how charming, continue on.” She interjects.

“So if that wasn’t enough they then went and cooked me lunch and we ate it together. Since then we went on our first date and it was going really well then I sorta lost my nerve and ran when things were getting intimate.”

“Oh no, that sucks.”

“Yeah I was really unhappy with myself that night, but we had a chat about it and I invited h- them over tonight and I said I was cooking dinner and now I feel like It's gotta be good and I’ve sorta put all this pressure on myself and now I'm a bit overwhelmed. What do I do?”

Erin breaks out into a soft smile and without warning suddenly hugs you. “You are so cute, first things first. What are you cooking. What does this person like?”

“Umm I don’t really know I just said I would before even asking them or anything.”

“Okay, well what can you cook?”

“Umm I'm not great but I can follow a recipe.”

“Okay perfect, I'm sending you my recipe for a simple 2 person lasagna, it’s Dean’s favourite so I'm pretty sure they will love it and it covers the second thing which is ****. It goes perfectly with a $15 bottle of red wine so that’s sorted as well.”

“Aww thank you Erin.”

She accepts your thanks but Erin’s face looks more serious than ever. “We aren’t done yet, next what are you wearing.”

“Umm I don’t really know I have a couple of cute dresses that I thought I could try.”

“Dresses are good but I'm talking about the fun stuff. Lingerie, what do you have?”

You feel your cheeks going a little bit red when she brings up lingerie. “Ah, I don’t really have much, most of my bras are pretty plain, they get really expensive and I don’t see much nice stuff in my size.”

“Hmm we can’t have that, just cause you have massive boobs doesn’t mean you can’t find some nice bras and if you are wearing stuff for a date it really needs to match, so you need a set. Bra shops can be a little average, have you been to Temptation?”

“Temptation? What’s that?”

“It’s the adult shop like 5 minutes outside of campus, normally an adult shop wouldn’t be the place I’d recommend but one of the attendant’s there has a bigger rack than you are as a result they now sell some pretty sexy sets but only in the bigger sizes.” She pouts as she cups her own modest C cups. “Nothing that I’d fit, but definitely something for you.”

“Are you really sending me to an adult shop for my date?” You give her an unimpressed stare.

She holds your stare. “Just trust me, head over right now, the lady you want is named Miho, she’s lovely.”

You huff, “Alright but if this is you trying to get me to get something weird for my date then it’s not going to work.”

She can’t help but start giggling. “Oh my poor sheltered Scarlett, don’t worry that’s all for your next date.”

You pretend to ignore her as she gives you a wink. “Oh fine I’ll go, thank you for your help and for your recipe.”

“My only condition is you tell me tomorrow how it went.” She says with a smile before heading off.

“Okay Scarlett deep breaths, we will go to the adult shop, we will talk to the nice lady and get a nice set of lingerie, its literally no different from going into any other store that sells bras.”

You initially whimp out and decide to buy all the ingredients for dinner before heading to the adult shop but eventually you can’t procrastinate any longer. It’s time you to choose, you either commit or you bitch it.

After a moment of hesitation, you push through, “no, I'm doing this,” and you begin walking, following the directions Erin gave you.

After closer to 10 minutes than 5 you eventually make your way to an arcade of shops and identify the shop you are looking for immediately. It doesn’t look overly sleazy so that’s a good thing and the entrance is discrete which is also nice. You walk up to it and push the door open and take a brave step inside and hear a strange exchange coming from what sounds like a back room.

“Mistress stop pushing yourself, its not something you can train everyday, you need to rest otherwise you don’t give the muscles time to recover and your progress will stagnate or worse go backwards.”

“But Miho you don’t understand, she said she’d never even done it before and then she beat me, I was so humiliated. If it happens again I don’t know what I’ll do.”

“Oh I know I was there, hang on was that the… Oh crap, Hello, I’m so sorry, welcome to Temptation how can I help you today.”

An Asian lady pokes her head out the door and sees you then rushes out of the back room to stand behind the counter.

“Umm I can come back if you guys are busy…”

“Oh, that’s okay, my partner is just being a little ridiculous anyhow, my name’s Miho how can I help you.”

You brighten up a little when you hear the name you are looking for. “Oh, umm well I was talking to a friend of mine about the fact its hard for me to find any nice sets of underwear because I'm a little bigger through the chest and she mentioned that you stock some things here that might fit me.”

Miho’s face positively beams with excitement. “Oh yes, you have come to the right place, come with me.”

She beckons you follow her and leads you past different areas filled with vibrators, magazines and a whole section of leather and restraint devices, one of which looks very familiar, but you don’t quite get long enough to look. Then finally almost an entire room full of corsets, lingerie and other costumes in sizes that start at an E cup and increase in size to almost absurd sizes.

“Welcome, to my area of the store, while I am familiar with pretty much everything we stock my area of expertise, you could call, it is bra fitting and costumes. When I moved here years ago I found it really difficult to find something in my size and I figured why not change that.”

You look at her a little confused as her loose-fitting clothing shows that her chest is pretty big but nothing like what she is claiming.

She spots your look and sighs, “oh I’ve seen that look before, I should really tell mistress I need a different outfit.” She frowns slightly and pulls her top up.

“Holy fuck.” You try to stop yourself but you just can’t, they are fucking enormous, her existence must be characterised by never ending back pain.

“Haha I’ve also seen that look before, 34O and entirely real, you can feel them if you want.” She gives you a sly wink.

“Uhh, umm no that’s okay I believe you are an expert on the topic.”

“Good, now, bra and panties set, a bodysuit, something a little kinkier? What’s the occasion?”

“Umm just a nice set, I'm having dinner with someone tonight and I want to look good.”

“Oh a date and you want to wear something to catch their eye huh? Hmmm. Whats your look?”

“Umm well I guess I don’t really have one, but its gonna be the first time she sees me in something like this so I kinda don’t wanna go too hard and look weird or anything.”

“Ooo she, well if this is still an early thing then its probably safest go with something elegant, how about this one.” She reaches into a hanger of different sets and pulls one out.

You don’t immediately see it because you are too busy cursing yourself for letting ‘she’ slip. You glance up when you hear, “so, what do you think.”

It’s perfect. It’s a very sleek black with a red trim and 5 hooks at the back just to make sure everything stays in place the panties as well were the same shade of black with red patterns. “oh wow, I love it, please can I try them on?”

“Of course.”

You go into the store and quickly change, you take a look at yourself in the mirror and wow, you look amazing, whether it was just the work of the lingerie or cause you hadn’t really looked at yourself in the mirror in the past 5 months or so you were over the moon with the way you boobs sat high and the way the black and red trim looked.

You didn’t even stop yourself when Miho yelled. “How’s it look?”

You open the dressing room door and walk back into the room, “I think it looks fantastic.”

“You really are rocking that set, most ladies just tell me from inside the room though, glad to see it’s giving you some confidence.”

“Oh,” suddenly all the magical self-confidence you have disappears and you rush back into the room. You emerge redressed blushing a little.

Miho smiles. “Don’t worry you aren’t the first to do that and I meant what I said you were rocking it. I'm pretty sure you will make the right impression tonight.”

“I hope so, Issy can be pretty intimidating, so it might be nice to see her taken back for once.”

You notice Miho’s eyes slightly narrow for a second when you say the name Issy, but then she shakes her head and mumbles, “nah, couldn’t be.” A little confused you keep walking with her all the way to the cash register.

You pay for your new lingerie and head off. You have a few hours to prepare your room and make sure the cooking is perfect.
