Sunset Sonata

Walking through the mall after finishing their appointment, which concluded with a mani-pedi combo including painting their nails to match their lipstick. Lauren and Jodie stood outside of a clothing store Jodie did his best to convince Lauren their day of beauty could end early. "But, like, even if he's paying for it just seems like a lot."

"We have only just begun to shop!" Lauren laughed maniacally.

“Jodie!!” Turning the girls saw Tiffany rushing towards them, her breasts bouncing in her white crop top. Jodie stared wide-eyed, Tiffany didn’t dress professionally at work, but somehow she was now dressed even less so. Her heels were higher, her skirt was short enough to expose the bottom of her butt with every step. Tiffany pounced onto Jodie, giving him a great big hug pressing her large breasts against his padded bra. “Girl! What luck running into you here! Did you, like, change your hair? OMG, I love it! And your makeup is on point today! Oh! I forgot to-Oh hey!” She cheered as she noticed Lauren for the first time. “I’m Tiffany.”

“Hey, I’m Lauren. I’m crashing at Jodie’s for a bit…” Lauren couldn’t help but stare at Tiffany’s cleavage, being it was so prominent.

“Yeah, like, Tiff works at megacorp with me. What are you doing here?”

“Same as you silly, shopping!”

“Why don’t you join us? We were having a bit of a girls’ day out.”

“Oh my god, that sounds totally great!” Tiffany cheered, grabbing Jodie’s arm and pulling him into the clothing store without question. “Okay, first thing first, we gotta, like, get you something to wear pronto.”

“What do you mean?”

“Jodie, I love you girl, but you know your makeup doesn’t match your outfit. We gotta get you something as cute as you are.” Jodie bit his lip as he thought about it, she was right, his makeup and hair were a lot more fun and carefree than his clothes. It might raise eyebrows, especially now being with Lauren and Tiffany. The last thing he wanted was someone looking too closely.

“You know what, you’re, like totally, right.” Jodie giggled and allowed himself to be led around the store. It wasn’t long before Lauren and Tiffany had a pile of clothes for Jodie to try on in the changing room.

While Jodie was changing Lauren and Tiffany took the time to get acquainted. “So, what do you do at megacorp?”

“I’m a receptionist. But Jodie she’s like my bestie.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Totally, we talk, like, all day. She’s really smart. She knows lots about clothes.”

“Yeah, I’ve seen her dress more confident going to work than she did today.” Tiffany looked around with a pout. “What?”

“Well...I think she might be, like, shy cause of her small boobies. But we’re going to fix that soon. And still, you have to dress up for work. You know how it is for girls like us, right?” Lauren nodded, she did indeed. At work, she had to put on such a confident and domineering attitude she really loved weekends when she could be carefree. “See, even you’ve been there.” Tiffany nodded, every girl she knew had to be sexy if she wanted to keep a job with as long as it took her to type up anything. Plus, they got longer lunches than the brainy girls who didn’t put out.

“What did you mean you were going to fix..uh...Jodie?”

“Bo-Dr.Foo told me last night he had an opening Wednesday for her so she can get her implants, like, next week.”

“Implants?”

“Don’t worry, they totally look natural, see.” She hoisted her own breasts for a demonstration.

“I guess I didn’t realize she felt that bad about it.”

“Totally, we went to see the doctor a few days ago, she seemed totally excited. I’ve been trying to help her with her competence in the meantime.”

“You mean confidence?”

“Yeah. Like, Mrs.Bridgette says to give her a push every now and again.”

“Sounds reasonable.”

“Yeah, you can tell she wants to be, like, so sexy but is scared I think.”

Lauren agreed, all morning Jodie seemed almost nervous to do anything more than a basic hairstyle. Jodie returned wearing a long sleeve black top that stopped just under his bra exposing his flat midriff. Jodie chose it as the least terrible option that was still conservative and knowing that it paired nicely with a mauve skirt and matching belt. The black thigh highs and red heels completed the outfit, giving him the air of a young and flirty woman.

“Wow, that looks great.”

“You think?” Jodie twisted to see the entire outfit for himself. He was only barely aware of just how feminine he looked as he stuck out his butt.

“Like, totally great!” Lauren and Tiffany took closer looks at Jodie’s outfit. “Jodie...what’s this?” She pulled on the band of Jodie’s granny panties.

“My...underwear?” Tiffany and Laurens shared a look of disbelief. “What?”

Lauren was about to wave it off when Tiffany interjected, “Girl, you look dead sexy but, like, you these totally ruin your look.”

“It’s not like anyone’s gonna see them.”

Tiffany sighed and Lauren added in, “It’s not about other people, it’s about you feeling confident.” Jodie thought about it and women did always say dressing sexy made them feel confident, even Janet made the same claim. If he balked now, after everything else it would look more suspicious.

“But, I can’t, like, try on underwear.”

“That’s an easy fix, wait here.” Lauren walked away to search for sexy panties. She realized that Tiffany was right. Jordan...or Jodie, wanted to be sexy she just lacked confidence. All it took was a little encouragement and she was all down for an entirely new look.

While Lauren was off searching Tiffany remembered something. “Oh, that reminds me.” She dug through her little purse and produced a pill bottle, quickly pulling out two pills for Jodie. “Like I said, it’s lucky I ran into you so I can give you your medicine.”

“Medicine? Oh.” Jodie eagerly took what he thought were more tranquilizers but were in fact estrogen and spiro tablets. And just in time as Lauren returned carrying a thong.

“And, I already talked to the cashier, if you bring the tags to the front you can wear everything out.”

“That’s, like totally, great.” Jodie smiled, hiding his sarcasm, and went to change.

Later, the girls walked through the mall carrying several shopping bags. Jodie, pretended like he didn’t see the men staring at him as he swayed his hips and flicked his hair back to check his makeup. Lauren allowed herself to enjoy being reminded she was still desirable after her boyfriend. Tiffany enjoyed the looks she got from the men and women, mentally tagging a few she hoped to see again. The girls stopped as a ruggedly handsome man stopped Lauren to ask directions to the food court. Jodie rolled his eyes and wandered ahead where he found something that made his heart skip a beat. In the middle of the mall, ignored by the normal shoppers was a baby grand piano sitting on an elevated platform.

Jodie slowly sat the bags down beside the platform and took a seat at the piano. Jodie had no particular song in mind when he began to play, he simply closed his eyes and let the music flow through him as he played as a river flows around a rock. Jodie’s face gave way to a blissful smile that grew deeper with every note he played. The music slowly carried off the stresses he felt during the week, all of it just slipped down the melodic river. It was better than any high he had achieved with ****, and none could compare to the way it allowed him to detach himself from everything that bothered him.

While he played the girls approached the small platform and watched in amazement. Neither of them knew Jodie had any musical ability until now. Jodie played several songs, some pieces he had played for years when practicing the piano and some simply the product of his own creative imagination and instinct before Jodie again opened his eyes and finally noticed the crowd that had gathered around the small stage to listen as he played nocturnes. Jodie blushed furiously before bowing to the polite applause of the crowd. Lauren and Tiffany cheered excitedly for their friend as he stepped off of the raised platform.

“Oh my god, that was amazing!” Lauren cheered, wrapping Jodie up in a big hug.

“It was, like totally amazing!” Tiffany joined in the hug squeezing both girls into her chest. “I didn’t know you could play!”

“I...I used to. But, that was a lifetime ago.” The girls looked at Jodie with pity and he quickly changed the subject, “So, Lauren, who was the cute guy who was so, totally, hitting on you?” Jodie felt disgusted at himself but knew it had to be done if he was going to survive the rest of the mall outing.
