Chapter 7

 Laura arrived home a little after 6 o'clock Monday afternoon.  Laura and
her three younger siblings lived in a modest but friendly home on the south
side of the city with their parents.  Her dad was a policeman and her mother
worked part time in a grocery store to help make ends meet.

 After liberally applying Aveeno on her butt to soothe the burning, she had
supper with the family.  As usual, it was a lively affair during which the
family shared the news of the day.  As the dishes were being cleared away,
Laura brought out the portraits she and Todd had chosen as being presentable
for family viewing.

 "Mom, Dad, I need to talk to you about a few other things that have
happened over the weekend."

 Hearing the seriousness in her voice, her mother told the younger kids to
scoot, leaving just the three of them in the kitchen.

 Laura explained she had lost her fast food job, but she had been offered an
opportunity to be a model.

 Her father was disappointed.

 "Laura, I see this scam all the time.  Girls are told they should be models
and then end up shelling out a few thousand dollars for a portfolio and
never getting any work.  We get complaints about this racket all the time."

 "It's not like that dad," Laura said.  "I didn't quit my job, I was a
little bit sick this morning and I was fired.  But Kelly, she's one of the
owners of TKO, she called her lawyer for me, and."

 "Did you say TKO?" her dad interrupted, "I KNOW them!"  Besides Kelly's
contributions to the police safety committee, TKO also sponsored a summer
day camp for the less fortunate kids of Charlotte.  "If they're the ones who
offered you a modeling job, then I'm not going to worry.  They're highly
respected in the business community."  Turning to his wife he said, "I've
told you about them before, remember?"

 "But Laura, what will you do about money until you actually start
 modeling?" asked her mother.

 Laura explained how Kelly had managed to get her six months of severance
pay.  Her dad whistled through his teeth.  It was a hefty sum for a family
that just managed to make the month last through the paychecks.  Since Laura
had started work, she had been giving her parents a portion of her pay to
help cover the expenses, plus she was a frugal girl and had purchased all of
her own clothes as well as the six year old Honda Accord she drove.

 "Mom, dad, this is an opportunity for me to get my education and make
enough money so I can finish school.  I'm getting enrolled tomorrow, and I
promise I will make you proud of me.  If it all works out, I will continue
to help here with the expenses, but I have to be honest and tell you that I
won't be spending much time at home anymore.  It's not that I love you any
less, but between school and work, it would just be easier for me to be able
to spend more time at the studio or at Kelly's."

 Her father looked at her mother.  The spark that had been missing from
their daughter's eyes for so long was back and she was charged with
excitement.  Both of them realized it was more than the lure of a career as
a model that had lit that spark but as open minded as they were, neither was
willing to ask about the obvious fact that Laura was in love.

 Laura's mom was more excited about Laura returning to school.

 Laura had always been a bright girl, but her disastrous affair with the
jock had destroyed her chances at a scholarship, and even though her mother
worked part time to supplement the family income, it was still a struggle.
They simply couldn't afford the extra money for university.

 "Just you be careful honey," her mother said.  "We don't want to see you
hurt again."

 Understanding this was their subtle consent Laura kissed them both.  "Don't
worry about me you two.  I'm never going to let anyone use me again."

 With a deep sigh, her father asked if she would still be coming home
regularly to visit and maybe spend a night or two.  Laura had laughed, and
giving her dad a big hug said, "Of course I'll be coming home to see you and
the family.  I love you guys.  I wouldn't have made it through this last
year if not for your support."

 Laura went to bed early that night after making a quick call to Kelly and a
call to Todd to let him know she would be spending the night at home instead
of returning to the studio.

 "It was a bit of a shock to them," said Laura, "but they seem okay with the
fact I won't be living at home full time anymore.  I figured another night
in my own bed for their sake would help.  Promise you'll dream of me
tonight, and I will see you early in the morning.  I love you Todd."

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

 Laura woke up early Tuesday morning.  Packing a small travel case with some
essentials, she gave her mother a kiss.

 "Don't worry about me mom.  For the first time in a long time I finally
feel like I can have the future you wanted for me."  Turning to her sister
she gently reminded her that her bedroom was still off limits.  "Maybe if I
end up getting a room at UNC, I'll move some stuff out and pack the rest and
give you a room of your own," she said laughing, "but that won't be for a
little while yet!"

 Her mother walked her out to her car and giving Laura a big hug reminded
her to be careful.

 "Don't worry mom," she said,  "I've got both of my eyes wide open.  And I'
ll be checking in on a regular basis."

 There were tears in her mother's eyes as Laura drove off.  Her first-born
was leaving the nest.  She hoped she would fly like an eagle.

 Laura's eyes were still misted as well when she pulled into the studio
parking lot just after 8 o'clock.  The home she had grown up in and had been
loved in was now part of her past.  She felt confident of the future ahead
of her, but as much as she would miss seeing her family on a daily basis,
she knew her destiny lay before her.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

 Todd was extremely pleased to see Laura at the door and after taking her
travel case, he handed her a key.

 "Laura Williams, I am delighted to share my home with you for as long as
you will have me."  With those words, Todd led her up the stairs to what was
now their apartment and she unpacked.

 Since they had a full day of appointments and errands to run, they decided
to take a quick shower first.  Laura had a mischievous smile on her face as
they stepped into the shower.  Placing her hand on Todd's chest she pushed
him back until he had no choice except to slide down on his back in the tub.
Straddling him Laura spread the lips of her pussy with her hand and though a
bit embarrassed by her own boldness, she aimed a stream of urine at him.  It
quickly turned into a full blast and she manipulated herself so she could
spray Todd from his cock to his chest.  Todd developed an enormous erection
much to his own surprise.

 Her bladder had been full since she woke up, and as she blasted Todd, it
seemed like there would be no end to the flow.  Still spraying she lowered
herself till she was squatting right over Todd's stomach, drenching him as
the excess ran down his sides and into the drain.

 As the flow finally slowed she stood again and placed a foot on his chest
holding him in place.  With one hand she turned on the water setting the
temperature and then removed the showerhead bringing it down with her as she
knelt resting her butt on his thighs.  The showerhead had a built in flow
switch and after rinsing Todd lightly she grabbed the bottle of liquid soap
and started to wash his chest, moving in long stroking motions dragging her
nails across his hard stomach and building up a soapy froth in his pubic
hair.  Todd's cock was twitching with excitement, the head turning a deep
purple.  Stroking his soapy cock with one hand, Laura lathered her own pussy
and then using Todd's cock like a dildo rubbed the head back and forth over
her now blood engorged clit.

 This sensation was too much for Todd, feeling his swollen glans scraping
first against a patch of pubic hair and then sliding between her slick lower
lips.  As she stroked his cock faster and faster against her cunt lips to
achieve her own orgasm, it finally became unbearable, and Todd arching up in
a spasm of ecstasy felt his cock slip into Laura who sank down on him as she
reached her own orgasm.  They both shivered in the afterglow of the sensory
overload.

 Laura finally pushed her way up saying, "Damn, that's hard on the knees!"

 Todd laughed and promised next time he would get on top which sent Laura
into a giggling spasm.  They washed each other properly and after drying off
headed to the kitchen for breakfast.  To Laura's dismay, she watched as Todd
brought out two bottles of the 'go-juice' and the same vitamins she had
taken at Kelly's.  At least Todd offered her cereal and whole-wheat waffles.
Yet with a sigh, Laura passed on both and stuck to celery stalks and a
grapefruit.

 They both heard the studio door open and Todd said, "That'll be Vanetta.
Kelly rarely makes it in before 10."

 "Todd, do you think my check will be at the lawyers today?" asked Laura.
"I don't want to seem in a rush, but I only brought a bathing suit, a pair
of jeans and a few pairs of panties.  I thought maybe I could buy myself
some new clothes today."

 Todd looked at her strangely for a minute, slapped his forehead and said,
"Damn, I keep forgetting this is all new to you.  Okay.  Clothes are going
to be the least of your worries.  Besides what you saw downstairs, we have
other rooms filled with everything from jeans to business suits.  About the
only things you'll need are underwear and shoes."

 "Maybe I can get Kelly to go shopping with me," Laura mused.  She pulled on
a pair of jeans and a t-shirt as Todd called the lawyer and then the
University.

 "Okay, we can go now and get you enrolled and pick up your course
 material," Todd said.  "First we stop at the lawyers."

 They headed down the stairs to be greeted by a smiling Vanetta.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

 Kelly managed to roll out of bed around nine.  After "breakfast", she made
the bed, slipped on something comfortable and locked the house walking to
the studio.

 The walk was Kelly's respite from the hectic life.  For ten minutes she
could enjoy the world without feeling like it was exercise.  It allowed her
to breath fresh air and gave her a chance to meet and greet the mailman and
neighbors and shop clerks.  Driving to work was saved for rainy days or if
she was in a hurry.  Besides, the cell phone she carried could always reach
her if she was needed.

 There was a fruit stand on the corner just before she entered the
industrial park, and Kelly was friendly with the operator.  As she was
almost always a daily customer, he knew what she liked and would tell her
honestly what was the best and freshest, so it was rare for Kelly to arrive
at work without something for them to eat.  Fresh mangoes, passion fruit,
papaya and grapefruit would do it today.

 Kelly walked into a room of smiling faces.  Todd and Laura were sitting
with Vanetta swapping stories.

 "Good morning Kell," said Todd, who took the bag of fruit from her arms and
carried it to the kitchen.

 Laura kissed Kelly on the cheek and said, "Hi, I missed you."  Kelly
blushed a bit but kissed Laura back and whispered, "Not as much as I missed
you."

 Vanetta said "Good morning" and handed Kelly her morning stack of messages.
Flipping through them quickly Kelly pulled a couple of important ones out
and set them aside for first response.

 Since it was nearly time for a morning snack anyway, Kelly tugged Vanetta
away from her desk and all four ended up in the open kitchen.  While Todd
brought out the juicer, Kelly and Laura scrubbed the fruit Kelly had picked
up.  All of it was scrubbed and washed to remove pesticides.  Some was
placed in the draining tray to be transferred to the fridge while others
were sliced to add solid snacks to go with the mid morning juice.

 Todd had taken four large beets, six large apples and two bunches of celery
out of the crisper and was feeding them into the juicer.  Vanetta crushed
ice while Todd added eight carrots to the mixture.  Finally, he peeled and
quartered a large Spanish onion and added a bud of garlic.

 Todd stirred the mixture and poured out four tall glasses, putting the
remainder in a glass pitcher.  He quickly and efficiently cleaned the juicer
and placed the left over pulp into a bag for Delton's mulch pile.

 Finally, all seated at the table, Vanetta recounted for Kelly what she had
been telling Laura about the staff and environment at UNC's Applied Health
department.

 "She's going to love it in the Psych department," Vanetta said.  "Everybody
's afraid to talk to the psych students because you always get the feeling
you're being analyzed!"  Vanetta was laughing as she continued talking about
various professors and the on campus activities along with the pranks
played.

 Laura was looking cautiously at her glass of juice.  The beets had given
the mix a deep red color.

 "What's the matter Laura?" asked Kelly.

 "Well," said Laura, "Nothing is really the matter.  I mean. I like a garden
cocktail as much as anybody, but I always thought they were mostly
 tomatoes."

 Todd laughed.  "The name brands are, sweetheart, but the beets are better
for you.  Lots of natural iron and vitamins, it's really good for the blood.
Another lesson learned from 'doctor' Kelly."

 Laura tasted it and looked surprised.  "Hey, this is really good!"

 Everyone laughed and Laura pretended to pout.

 "I can't help it," she said.  "This healthy living is all new to me."

 Kelly reached over and put an arm around her.  "It's okay Laura.  We know
it takes some time to get used to, but trust me, in a few weeks you will
really see the difference and you will wonder how you managed to get through
life without it."

 Kelly went silent for a minute.  What had she just said to Laura? . "Trust
me."  She thought of Brenda and her asking Kelly, "Do you trust me?"

 Kelly's thoughts were interrupted when Laura spoke up.

 "Todd's going to take me to the university in a bit after I make one other
stop, but I was wondering Kell if you would mind going shopping with me this
afternoon.  There are some things I need to get, certain things that I don't
want to be picking out with Todd waiting or seeing."

 Kelly laughed.  "Sure Laura.  How about we treat ourselves to a visit at
the spa as well?"

 Laura's eyes lit up.  "A spa?  I've never been to one."

 "You're going to love it.  It's nice getting pampered."

 "You've got at date," said Laura winking at Kelly, "Right after I get
enrolled."

 As they finished their juice break, Kelly headed to the correspondence she
had to deal with.  She said to Todd as she headed to her desk, "John wants
to know when he can deliver the gym equipment."

 "Damn.  I hate to clutter up the place with it and we still haven't seen
the two girls JulieAnn was talking about.  Tell him he can deliver it in two
weeks.  I'll just have to get busy and hope that JulieAnn has a good eye."

 "I wouldn't worry too much about JulieAnn's taste.  I doubt she would even
have given them any false hopes if she didn't find them attractive, though
you could always call James and get his opinion."

 "Nah" said Todd.  "You're right.  They might be a strange group, but they
definitely aren't stupid."  He stopped at Kelly's desk and giving her a kiss
on the cheek said, "Okay, if you need me, give me a call.  I'm going to take
Laura to Steve's and then to the university."

 "You two have a good time," Kelly said with a smile.  Laura gave her a big
smile in return.

 "I'm so excited," she said.  "I thought my chance for an education and
career was gone."

 Vanetta took Laura by the arm and walked with her towards the door as Todd
headed out the back door to get his Chevy Tracker, his "in town" vehicle.

 "Laura," said Vanetta out of earshot of Kelly, "It might not be my place to
say, but I'm going to tell you anyway.  Todd and Kelly. they're really
special people, the world would be a nicer place if there were more like
them.  It's not often they get this involved in other people's lives.  I
know. I was lucky.  My mom said the best way I can show them how much it
means to me is to get the best grades possible, and make the most of my life
and the opportunities given to me, so I'm going to pass the same advice on
to you."

 Laura looked at Vanetta for a minute and then smiled that open honest
smile.  She hugged Vanetta and said, "I know what you mean Vanetta.  I
thought this was all lost to me.  I intend to make the most of this
opportunity."

 Vanetta smiled back at her.  "Mom said you were the sunshine that was
missing from both their lives.  I think I can now see why."

 Laura blushed.  "I'm flattered, but really, I'm just a girl who was lucky
enough to meet them."

 Vanetta bit her tongue.  She didn't want to tell Laura her mom had
consulted the  "Obi Man" after the incident on Sunday, and he had told her
Laura's arrival had not been a coincidence.  While Vanetta herself didn't
place much faith in the old Shaman, her mother still followed the old ways.
For the young kids in Jamaica, Obeah was more myth and folklore, but even
Vanetta had to agree there was something about Laura.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

 Laura climbed into Todd's Tracker.

 "Nice" she said.

 "It gets me around town," said Todd, "but for longer trips I like my
Hummer.  This is just the right size so I can see and be seen and it's got
enough room so I can toss my equipment in the back."

 "Well," said Laura, "I like this."

 The first stop was at the lawyers where Laura signed all the required forms
swearing her to non-disclosure and waiving any future legal action and
received a check for just slightly over $10,000.

 Laura was hopping with excitement when they got outside of the law office.
"I've never held this much in my hands at any time in my life," she said to
Todd.  "God, I hope it's enough with my savings to pay for the first year at
the university."

 "Well, most of your school work will be off campus for the first year
anyway, so it's a lot less expensive right off the bat."

 "Oh, I know," said Laura, "but what if there isn't enough modeling work for
me to keep up the payments?"

 "Don't you worry sweetheart, I've never been wrong when it comes to knowing
what the camera likes."

 "Okay," said Laura, "I'll trust your camera eye," but there was still a
hint of hesitation in her voice.

 Todd pulled over to a nearby park and stopped the truck.

 "Honey, you're thinking about the wrong thing." Todd explained.  "I think
you are beautiful, but the jobs you will get, and I am sure there will be a
lot of them, aren't about your beauty.  It's more about how good you can
make the clothes look; they're the real stars in a catalog.  It's also one
of the reasons you need to take care of your body now.  Make-up can only
hide so much, so no more digging in the dirt for you Princess!"

 Laura laughed, "Yes my lord, I will obey.  Now can I play with your royal
scepter?"

 "What?  Here?  In a public park?"

 "Well," said Laura kissing him deeply, "if you act natural like you're just
taking a break from driving, no one will see me."  With that said, she
ducked down and disappeared from sight.

 Slowly she undid his zipper and pulled out his rapidly growing cock.
  "Hmm," she mumbled from below.  "Somebody is happy to see me."

 Todd just gasped as she engulfed his cock in a big wet swallow.  He raised
his butt slightly as Laura tugged at his pants trying to get access to his
balls.  With them firmly held in one hand and the other putting a tight grip
on the base of his cock, Laura started to lick up and down the sides with a
wet yet coarse tongue.  It took only a few minutes before Todd was bucking
in his seat begging for release.

 Laura slowed her pace and bobbed up and down on his blood-engorged prick
with a calculated measure.  She knew he was close, but wanted his climax to
be really strong.  Swirling her tongue around the head she felt the skin of
his glans tighten ever more.  Wrapping her lips around the head she ran her
tongue back and forth over his slit trying to drive it into the little hole.
She could feel his cock twitch in her one hand that was still tightly held
to prevent him from coming while the other hand felt his balls shrink down
to a tight package little larger than a golf ball.  With a perverse pleasure
she slobbered all over the head of his engorged cock and started to rapidly
bob up and down and then released the pressure grip on his shaft which
caused Todd to buck in his seat as shot after shot of cum went down her
greedy throat not spilling a drop.

 Finally Todd slowed and his thrashing and twitching settled to random
spasms.  When Laura was satisfied that she had emptied him and captured
every drop she sat up, surprised to see tears in Todd's eyes.

 "Did I hurt you?" she asked with concern.

 Todd shook his head no.  He had no strength left with which to talk.  Laura
leaned back against her door and put her feet up on the seat, giving him
time to compose himself.  She sat quietly watching him as he slowly came
back to earth.

 "That. that was. that was so fucking good," he finally managed to get out.

 "I'm glad you enjoyed it," said Laura with a smile, "But I'll bet I enjoyed
it more!"

 "Not a chance," he said.  "That felt too good."

 "Ah, but to have that kind of power over you. To decide when you can come
and how long to make the pleasure and agony last, that's the greatest
thrill."

 "Look," said Todd.  "I'm still seeping cum!"

 Laura bent quickly and licked up the glob forming on his cock head.  Todd
grabbed her and crushed her to him as he asked, "Do you realize how much I
love you?"

 "Yes I do," she replied, "You show me every single day."

 Reluctantly Todd pulled up his pants and started the Tracker back up.  "We
actually have a semi fixed appointment at the registrar's office," he said
apologetically.

 Registration didn't take long nor did it cost Laura half as much as she
expected.  What she didn't know was that when Todd had called and set up the
appointment, he had also arranged a good portion of the bill to be sent to
him.  They spent nearly an hour picking up Laura's course outline and
meeting some of her professors and picking up the textbooks and online
material she would need.  Though she was getting a late start on the
semester, she was quite sure she could catch up in a hurry.  She had been a
good student once and vowed to return to that status.

 After a visit to the main building where Laura got a chance to see the
portrait Todd had done for the benefactor, they headed to a small diner Todd
favored for lunch.

 "Doesn't this food go against all the health stuff you take?" Laura asked.

 "Nope," said Todd, "I guess I'm a Buddhist at heart.  All things in
moderation."

 "Now that's a philosophy I can live with," said Laura digging into her own
lunch.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

 Kelly had turned on a Bonnie Tyler CD after Todd and Laura had left.  The
music soothed her as she typed out replies to the morning missives.  Other
data she entered on her computer and with Vanetta's computer programmed to
share files, she had Vanetta proof and file them on the office server.

 It was a quiet and peaceful day and Kelly was still feeling good from last
night.  She told Vanetta that a shipment would be arriving any day from
Buffalo, and put $1,500 in the petty cash box to cover the costs.  Vanetta
was used to these shipments as they occurred about once every four to six
months.

 "Make sure you tip the driver well if he brings it all in okay?  They're
having a rough time with a crack down in Canada, and I don't want my
supplier to think this is a waste of his time."

 "No problem Kelly," said Vanetta.  "I don't have classes today so if you
like, I could stick around here while you and Laura go out."

 "Thanks Vanetta, that's nice of you to offer, but Todd will probably close
up and just work out this afternoon.  There's not much on the go right now.
Well, actually there is, but we need release forms signed and after Todd
prints up the Regan pictures, we'll be gone again.  However if you're free
tomorrow, it would be nice if you could be here as long as possible since
Todd and I have to go out of town."

 "Sure, no problem," said Vanetta.

 They ate a quiet lunch together and afterwards when Vanetta left for home,
Kelly logged on to her home account.  She was pleased to see a letter from
Brenda waiting for her.

Dear Kelly,
 I was sorry to hear that Jules called you on the day I arrived back at the
Eyrie and I didn't get a chance to talk to you personally.
 Life is so busy right now that I barely have time to think for myself
before something else pops up.  But I would and will always find time for
you.
 In a way I think it was a smart move to drop your boyfriend.  Just based on
our "discussion" last Thursday, I think you are not appreciating the finer
things in life.
 I would like to discuss more of this in person since it seems there is more
to the story than what you have written me.
 As for Todd's new girlfriend, aren't Todd and you the best of friends?  Don
't best friends share?  Look at my situation! <G>
 And I honestly don't know why you are reluctant to pursue the change in
your relationship with Todd.
 It's pretty hectic here at Max's and I will be heading back to Regan's
Thursday morning.  I think I will be there for most of the month, or at
least shuttling back and forth.  I wish we could get together for a real sit
down talk, face to face.  Are you guys still planning to attend the grand
opening of Mueller's Wheel?  Let me know if you are, because then I can plan
on some private time for you and me to talk.

Affectionately,
Brenda

 Kelly filed the letter away.  She would have to ask Todd if they were still
going to the opening.

 "Damn," she said out loud.  "Time seems to be my greatest nemesis."

 Kelly thought over what Brenda had said.  Share with your best friend.
"Hmm. I wonder how Laura would feel about that," she thought.   Then as
quickly she shook her head.  It might work for the "James Gang", but they
were just kids.  And yet. there was no denying they loved each other, and
shared James.  Her thoughts were interrupted by the return of Todd and
Laura.

 Kelly was about to get up to greet the smiling couple when the phone rang.
It was Jorge.  Kelly waved at Todd and Laura as she spoke with Jorge.

 "Well of course I knew she would look good to you Jorge," she said.  "That'
s why we haven't shown her to anyone else.  You are one of our most valued
customers."

 Jorge told her the pictures had arrived and he was smitten.  Laura was just
the kind of girl he was looking for and had called Mike in for a
professional opinion.  Then after being reassured by Mike, he had shown the
photographs to his marketing people.  The excitement had really grown, and
some wanted to start production on the new lingerie line immediately.  But
first Jorge had some questions for Kelly.

 "Yes Jorge, natural.  34B, no silicone in any of our models, you should
know that.  Yes, a student at the university down here.  No, not a scar on
her, and no tattoos."  Kelly looked at the contract Laura had signed.

 "No Jorge, you know we don't allow our models to use any drugs.  Yes, the
pictures are very recent.  Last week.  Five foot eight," Kelly said.  "120
pounds.  No the hair has never been colored.  Jorge. you are wearing me out
here.  What you see is exactly what you get.  She's gorgeous, clean and
natural."

 Kelly quickly scanned through her customer database.  "Jorge, in your last
catalog you used 78 of our models for your beautiful clothes.  You paid over
$100,000 for their time.  That was just one catalog Jorge.  Do you want to
know how much you paid for our models for entire year?"

 Jorge was busy blustering when Kelly said, "Look Jorge, you were the only
one either Todd or I thought of, and we thought of your lingerie line, and
how long you've been looking for the right girl to bring it out.  She's a
natural; you can see it in the pictures, that smile is going to do it for
you my friend.  She looks mature enough and yet innocent, but more
importantly, she is a totally virgin face.  Okay, twice, yes." Kelly fired
up her calculator and started punching in numbers, totally in business mode
now.  As Jorge continued to ramble on about hours, Kelly kept on entering
numbers.

 "Okay Jorge, plus a waiver that she is exclusive to you for a year,
renewable with a 33-1/3% increase for each successive year as long as both
parties are in agreement?  All travel costs to be paid by you?  Okay,
because you've been good with us, let's try this.  I think we can talk her
into five hundred per for the first year, and if you supply the travel and
accommodations, I'll see if I can convince her to do the two big conventions
a year for free."

 Kelly laughed.  "You like that eh Jorge?  Well, I've gotten nothing but
positive responses from every model who ever worked for you, and customers
like you we want to make happy.  Let me run it by her and I'll get back to
you in about an hour."

 Kelly hung up the phone smiling.  Both Todd and Laura were waiting for the
news with their breaths held.

 "YES!" Kelly shouted.  "Full page ads, a special flyer at Valentines, the
Bridal issue and both catalogs."

 "Is that good?" Laura asked.

 "That's damn good," said Todd who was figuring in his head.

 "It means you will only work about eight weeks out of the year," explained
Kelly, "but you will be the exclusive model for the lingerie line.  You will
also do two trade conventions in the year, one in New York and one in L.A.,
and you will do them for free, but for the first year alone, after TKO's
fees, it means you will earn over 60 thousand before taxes!"

 Laura fell into the closest chair, her jaw wide open.

 "And if it goes as well as I predict, your modeling fee will increase from
five hundred an hour to six hundred and fifty per in the second year.  If
you work hard and manage to stick it out for four years with Jorge, you will
be pulling in over one thousand an hour!"

 "By the time you finish the third year towards your PhD, my dear, you will
have earned." Kelly stopped to punch in some numbers, "four hundred and
thirty thousand dollars!"

 "Oh my God!"

 "But" said Kelly, "for you to actually earn that just from Jorge, you have
to remain in pristine shape, and you have to make the clothes come alive.
Jorge is aiming at the young newly married women, so you have to make them
believe they will look as good in those outfits as you do.  The first year
is already guaranteed thanks to Todd's magnificent photography."  Kelly
smiled at Todd.  "But keeping the job will depend on you."

 "I understand," said Laura going quiet.

 "I might have been able to get you the same kind of money elsewhere," said
Kelly, but not with the repeat work and you would have to put in a lot more
hours.  This way you only need to be on the job about two weeks per season."

 Laura started to cry.

 Todd looked bewildered.

 Kelly understood and moved in close to Laura pulling the sobbing girl to
her chest while patting her gently on the back.

 "It's okay baby," whispered Kelly.  "You deserve it.  Every bit of
happiness you can get."

 Todd finally realized why Laura was crying.  He remembered the shy hurt
girl he had met nearly a month ago and how last week she had transformed
before him like the proverbial duckling.  She was still the same girl, right
down to her dimples, but her attitude had undergone a dramatic change.  He
moved over to join Kelly and help Laura deal with her new situation.

 An hour later, after Kelly had confirmed with Jorge that Laura had
accepted, and a call to Steve to check and formalize the contract that would
be sent via courier to his office, the three of them had another glass of
the juice Todd had made that morning.

 "How can I ever thank you two for what you have done for me?" Laura asked.

 "By being as good for the catalog shoots as you were for me when you weren'
t thinking about being a model.  Make Jorge's clothes come to life.  Get
that second and third year rolling so you can go on for the fourth and fifth
when you will really be making good money." Said Todd

 "Earning your doctorate in Psychology so you can fix up my life," laughed
Kelly.

 "Seriously though," Kelly continued, "You are now going to have to take
solid control over your lifestyle.  Stick to the vitamins, no sun-tanning
beds, always wear sunscreen when you go to the beach or plan to be outdoors
for any length of time, and don't cut your hair unless Jorge requests it and
then only if you approve.  Jorge won't be ready for you for about a month at
which time we will go with you for moral support for your first week on the
job.  That gives us a month to get you prepared and coached."

 "Uh oh" said Laura.  "It sounds ominous."

 Kelly laughed.  "It's not as bad as it sounds, you just need a few lessons
in posture and walking, and there are some female issues we need to discuss.
But we can do that while shopping, if you still want to go."

 "Oh yes," said Laura.  Turning to Todd she said, "Promise you'll miss me?"

 "Miss you?" he asked incredulously, "after this morning, I'm going to go to
the gym and build up my strength before I come back here for a well deserved
nap!"

 Laura laughed and to Kelly said, "I'm afraid that's one little lie you told
Jorge.  About me having a virgin face.  Todd simply couldn't make it to the
university this morning with out stopping for a blow job!"

 Todd flushed with embarrassment, but Kelly and Laura just laughed.

~~~~~ // ~~~~~

 The two girls headed off in Laura's Accord.  Laura asked if Kelly would
mind if they took a little side trip to her parent's house before they went
shopping and to the spa.  Kelly agreed.  She was curious as to what kind of
family Laura came from.

 Laura's dad has finished work and was home as well.  As they entered the
house, he looked up noticed Kelly and said jokingly, "Well if it isn't the
speed demon herself!"

 Laura looked perplexed until her dad explained that every precinct in town
had an autographed poster of Kelly in her safety gear, and he had been at
one of Kelly's school lectures about the importance of wearing safety gear.

 "Why Officer Williams, how sweet that you remember." Kelly said with a
smile.

 Mrs. Williams came into the room at that time and gave Kelly a big hug.
"So you're going to have my baby go back to school.  I can't thank you
enough."

 Kelly was starting to feel a bit embarrassed.  "Really, it has little to do
with me or my partner.  We offered Laura a chance and she took it.
Personally I was glad to hear she planned on going back to school.  We like
all of our models to work for a higher goal.  Modeling is just a means to an
end in our company."

 Mrs. Williams had insisted the girls sit down and offered them coffee, but
both Kelly and Laura declined.  Laura's mom looked at Laura and said, "No
coffee?"

 Laura laughed and said there were a lot of lifestyle changes she had to
make now that she was officially a model.

 "What?" her father asked.  "You've already got a job?"

 "Actually, it's a contract for a full year for Laura," Kelly said.  "She
has been signed to model exclusively for a client of ours."  Kelly mentioned
the catalog and Mrs. Williams recognized the company name immediately.

 "Exclusively for this catalog?  Isn't that going to cut into her school
time?" asked Laura's father.

 "No daddy," Laura explained.  "I'll only be working eight weeks out of the
year for them."

 "Humph.  I can't see you paying your way through school on only eight weeks
worth of work."

 "Actually daddy, I don't want to make you feel bad, but I'll make $58
thousand the first year, and if they renew the contract for another year, I'
m guaranteed a 33 percent increase."

 "Sweet mother of Jesus," said her mother.

 "Holy shit!" said her father.

 Kelly noticed a distinct family trait in the way the Williams' jaws
dropped, and smiled.

 "And" added Laura, "I wanted to let you know that I am now officially
registered as a student in the psych department of UNC."

 Mrs. Williams grabbed Laura in a big hug and said, "I'm so happy for you
baby."

 "Thanks mom.  Kelly and I were just about to go out shopping but I wanted
to tell you both the good news first."

 "I'm glad you did," said her father.  "Now I know my little girl is going
to be okay, I'll sleep better."

 "I think it's wonderful what your company does for the underprivileged kids
of the city," Laura's mom added.

 Kelly was feeling less than comfortable with the praise.  She could never
explain to anyone why she and Todd were so actively involved with the lonely
and the impoverished children.  It was something even she and Todd rarely
spoke about.

 As the girls got up to leave, Laura's mom gave both girls a kiss on the
cheek and a big hug.  Laura's dad gave Laura a big hug lifting her off her
feet saying, "You make us proud hear?"  Then with an awkward look held out
his hand to Kelly who reached over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

 "I'm really glad to have met you Mrs. Williams," Kelly said.  "I can see
where Laura gets her qualities and caring traits, and Officer Williams, it
was a pleasure seeing you again."

 "I'll call soon," Laura said as they stepped out the door.

 As they got into the Accord, Kelly lit up.  Her nerves were starting to
fray.

 "I don't need a PhD to see you aren't very comfortable with intimacy or
family situations." Laura said as she drove to the South Park Mall as Kelly
had suggested.

 "Don't get the wrong idea Laura.  I think your parents are terrific, and
they obviously love you very much.  It's not something I talk about, but I
want to tell you how lucky you are.  My parents sold me to an agent when I
was twelve.  I had no say in the matter at all and when I turned 14 I sued
to liberate myself from them and the agent.  He was not a nice man; let's
just leave it at that.  By then I was getting some good reviews and the job
offers kept on coming.  I shopped around for a decent agency and over the
next few years started to build up a tidy sum.  They weren't easy years
Laura, and I learned early on that the only person who was going to look out
for me was me.  There were lots of people who were willing to use me, and
being young and na�ve, I didn't know any better but I was also growing up.
I had missed most of my education so I started taking off campus courses to
get my high school diploma.  I guess you could say I enjoyed learning and
went right from that to a Bachelor's in Fine Arts.  Now I only take a single
class at a time because I do have a full life, but I'm well on the way to a
Masters in Business Administration.  Seems I have a head for business,"
Kelly laughed.

 "I never realized," said Laura.  "But if you were on your own all that time
how did you hook up with Todd?"

 "Ah, now that's where life gets interesting," said Kelly.  "I had just
finished a cover for one of the monthly's when I got a call from my agent
asking if I would be interested in a special swim suit edition of a popular
sports magazine.  The money was nice, I was 18 and it would give me a month
in Jamaica, all expenses paid.  I had been in the biz for six years and had
never had a real holiday.  We were flown down to Jamaica via executive jet.
There were 26 of us.  24 who would be in the mag, and two alternates in case
someone got sunburned, stung by a jellyfish or something like that.  It was
my first time doing a high profile shoot and it was also going to be my
first time doing a topless shoot.  I quickly discovered most of the girls
who did these top-line shoots were   pill pushers or 'Snow Bunnies.'"  At
Laura's quizzical look Kelly explained that a "Snow Bunny" was a girl who
snorted coke.

 They had made it inside the mall and had found a fresh fruit juice
specialty kiosk and with a tall fruit drink each they sat at a small
relatively secluded table.

 "So to continue with my tawdry tale," said Kelly with a smile, "The
magazine had us all booked into a fancy hotel in Mo-Bay which would be used
as our center of operations since we were going to be shooting at Dunn's
River and the famous beaches of Negril etcetera.  I didn't want to stay at
the hotel with the other girls and took a room at a guesthouse just outside
of Mo-Bay, and made myself comfortable for the month.  That's where I met 'G
', and as fate seemed to have planned it, Todd was staying at the same
place.  I didn't know it at the time, but aside from the money being paid to
pose, there was a hefty bonus for whichever girl made the center spread.  So
Todd didn't want to stay in the same hotel with the girls who would do
anything to influence the photographer.  Besides, having been to Jamaica
many times, he preferred the guesthouse."

 "I won't say we hit it off right away cause I think he felt I was going to
try some of the same stunts.  It was a week before he realized I wasn't
offering to hop into bed with him and he started to talk to me anywhere
other than on location.  He totally cracked up when he found out that I didn
't know about the bonus.  I think that's when he let his hair down and let
himself be who he really was and we soon found out we had a lot in common.
He was the first man who didn't try to climb into my pants after sharing a
beer."  Kelly smiled with fond memories.  "We went out dancing at night and
I found I could have a good time with him.  Though it was never planned, and
nobody would believe I hadn't slept with him to get it, his one photo of me
was chosen for the center spread.  I think you've seen it in the dark room?"

 Laura blushed remembering how hot she had gotten looking at that poster.

 "Our paths crossed about a dozen times over the next couple of years and we
used to call each other just to talk.  We grew to be real friends, and one
day we were talking and I was bitching about how the agencies treated the
models like select cuts of meat with no brains.  Todd was getting pretty
tired of nothing but model shots and wanted to spend more time taking
quality pictures that didn't necessarily have a person posing in front of
the camera.  I had been real careful with my earnings over the years because
I knew one day the ride would stop and I wasn't sure what I wanted to do
next when Todd suggested I should be an agent.  Well we talked about it for
a few months and I convinced him we should start our own business that would
specialize in product advertising and handle models as a sideline.  That way
we could make sure that 'real people' models we wanted to specialize in
would be treated properly and with respect.  As we grew, we hand picked the
best agents to handle the daily modeling assignments, and we moved to
Charlotte.  Todd is the only family I have."

 "What about Todd?" Laura asked.  "Doesn't he have any family?"

 Kelly sighed.  "It's not something I would tell anyone else," she said,
"but Todd is alone as well.  His real name isn't Ayres, or it wasn't when he
was born.  He's had it legally changed.  It used to be Vanden Ayres.  He was
born in Holland to very strict Catholic parents.  His mother was very
abusive and his father had a mean temper.  They emigrated here when Todd was
only seven and his life was pure hell.  His salvation came during a grade
eight class trip to a university campus photo lab.  He became interested in
photography and saved his paper route money to buy himself a camera.  By the
time he finished High School, he was earning enough money taking pictures
for the local paper that he could afford to pursue his dream through
university.  By the time he was finished he had already established a good
reputation and ended up working for an ad agency.  He hasn't seen or spoken
to his parents since he left High School.  It's not a good topic of
conversation with him."

 "Okay," said Laura.  "I won't mention it to him, but why did Jorge call him
a crazy bastard on the phone yesterday?  That kind of bothered me."

 Kelly laughed.  "In the inner circle of modeling, Todd has a reputation as
being one of the greatest fashion photographers of our time.  Jorge tried to
hire him full time for his company and Todd told him that he couldn't afford
him.  Jorge said you haven't heard what I'm offering yet, but Todd just
laughed and said that it didn't matter cause it still wouldn't be enough,
and that's the same answer Todd has given every company since then who has
tried to hire him full time.  So that's why Jorge calls Todd a Crazy
Bastard.  He means it affectionately though.  He's a good client and all of
our models enjoy working for him.  He's a bit strange himself.  He was a top
house designer and one day walked out and started a home-based business
where the average woman could not only go into the clothing business for
herself, but with affordable fashions that last.  In ten years he has become
bigger than Mary Kay or Avon in direct sales."

 "Wow," was all Laura could say.  "I never realized what a different life it
is for other people."

 "It's not so scary though," said Kelly, "Todd and I are exceptions when it
comes to family problems.  You've got good family behind you and that will
help a lot, plus you have the best damn agency in the world looking out for
your interests!  Now how about we get some shoes?"

 Kelly totally ignored the Sears Laura was familiar with, and steered her to
a high-class shoe store.

 "When possible stay away from any heel over an inch high," said Kelly.  "It
will save you a lot of grief and varicose veins if you don't wear heels
other than for work."

 Laura was a bit awe struck by the attention of the sales attendants, and
after measuring her, the manager personally brought out samples for Laura to
try.  Various offerings of Amalfi and Munro and other fine Italian leather
slid effortlessly on her feet.

 An hour later and with three pairs of "must have" shoes for Laura, two pair
of low heels and a pair of sandals, all designed for comfort, light as air
and hand stitched quality they finally left.  The two girls headed directly
over to Victoria's Secret.

 "I'm not sure what to do about a bra Kell," said Laura.  "I don't like
wearing one, but I don't want my boobs all floppy when I get older either."

 "Well," said Kelly, "you're more blessed in that department than I am but I
do know what I tell all our female models.  If you wear a bra and when you
take it off your boobs feel like they've been freed from captivity, you need
to wear one when you are active, but if all you are doing is sitting around,
then you don't need one.  But, that doesn't mean it has to be a uniform bra.
There are a lot of good support bras in here that will make you look even
sexier than you are now."

 Laura giggled.  "Can I get the kind that lets my nipples show?"

 Kelly laughed with her and took her to the back and knowing the sales girl
who was working, explained to her what Laura needed and that they had to be
perfectly form fitting and extremely sexy.

 Laura blushed, but it disappeared quickly when the girl measured her and
then returned with half a dozen different styles all of which were light and
extremely gorgeous.  At Laura's request Kelly stayed in the change room with
her as she tried them all on.  Two styles in particular really gave Laura
extra lift and support and cleavage, and Kelly called the sales girl to see
if those models came in different colors.  After selecting six new bras, it
was time to find some panties.  Kelly suggested high-rise French cut with
full cotton inserts.

 "Thongs look good on models," Kelly explained, "but for everyday use they
aren't as practical as a good secure fit.  It's like the low-rise panties.
Unless you need them for belly baring jeans or shorts, it's just a nuisance
as they keep sliding down.  Better to settle for comfort."

 Laura insisted Kelly stick around, and that's when Kelly brought up the
thing that had been on her mind all afternoon.

 "Laura, I can tell you shave your legs, but how long can you go between
shavings?"

 Laura blushed and said she realized she was starting to show a bit of
stubble but that generally she could go for four days before it became
really noticeable.

 "Honey, can I suggest you stop shaving and go for waxing instead?  After
the first few times you can go for months without repeating the process, and
 your legs will become softer for it and if you do it regularly, the hair
growth will slow down to nothing.  After waxing, less hair grows back every
time, and if you keep it up, eventually you won't have to do it at all
anymore.  I only get mine done once a year now."

 As Laura tried on the panties, Kelly brought up the other issue.

 "Laura, I hate to be the one to bring this up, but you're going to be
modeling a lot of lingerie." With that Kelly reached down and pulled lightly
at Laura's tufts of pubic hair left exposed by the underwear.

 "Oh no." Laura wailed.  "I shaved it once to. you know. see what it was
like but it was so itchy when it grew back in."

 Kelly was shaking her head no, but smiling.

 Laura's face showed the fear and dismay.  "Not waxing!"

 Kelly's head bobbed up and down.  "Right to the fold between your leg and
groin.  Trimming the length will be up to you."

 Laura had a dejected look on her face and settled on a dozen pair of
assorted high cut panties as well as a silk camisole and matching boxers.
As she paid for her purchase, Kelly told her the waxing wasn't that bad if
done right, and by trained professionals.

 "You'll see sweetheart, as soon as we get to the spa.  Besides, if it hurts
I'll kiss it and make it all better for you."

 No sooner were the words out of her mouth when Kelly and Laura both
realized what she had said.  Kelly was the one blushing now while Laura
smiled with the thought.

 They sat in the car for a few minutes while Kelly called ahead to the spa
arranging two mud baths and a leg and bikini wax for Laura and a massage to
follow.  Since it was Tuesday, there would not be a long wait.  She then
called Todd letting him know that she and Laura would not be back till
around 10.

 Following Kelly's directions, Laura got them to the secluded spa.  From
outward appearances it looked like a very large, well-designed and
maintained old mansion.  No big signs announced its presence and only a
small brass plaque at the gate said "Members Only," but Kelly just flashed a
smile at the security guard on duty.  She was not only a member but had a
second membership for any guest she wanted to bring with her.  It was one of
the last remaining exclusive women's clubs left in the Carolinas.  As Laura
drove up the winding driveway she realized how secluded this place really
was.  A very old and thick privacy hedge surrounded the property backed by
trees that further blocked prying eyes.  The lawn was manicured and well
decorated and the parking lot was behind the mansion.  It was a short walk
to the private side entrance, but long enough for Laura to realize her old
Honda really stood out amongst the Mercedes, Jag's and Porsches.

 Getting fresh robes and towels from the front desk after signing in, the
two girls headed to the locker room which seemed much more like an elaborate
dressing room complete with recliners and sofas and a bar.  All of the staff
knew Kelly by name and greeted her like an old friend and she introduced
Laura as her very close and dear friend.  The implication was not lost on
the staff, and they fawned over Laura like a special visiting dignitary.

 After changing into the gowns, leaving their clothes in the side-by-side
hand finished oak lockers, and taking their towels with them, they headed to
the common area.  They had no sooner settled into comfortable leather chairs
before a young blonde girl came in to take their drink orders.

 "I'm feeling like something fruity tonight Amy," said Kelly, "How about a
cold strawberry daiquiri?"

 "Fresh today Miss Kelly" said Amy.  "And for you Miss?" she asked looking
at Laura.

 Never having tried one, Laura smiled at the girl who was probably the same
age as she was, and said she would have the same.

 They barely had a chance to settle in to a conversation when another
Scandinavian blonde walked in and announced that Mistress Helga had
suggested a steam bath to open Miss Laura's pores before waxing.  Kelly
thanked her and asked what time Mistress Helga would be ready.

 "In about 45 minutes Miss Kelly" she responded and left the room.

 "Mistress Helga?" asked Laura with raised eyebrows.

 "Oh, I doubt it's her real name," said Kelly, "but she's the manager here
and runs this place like a well oiled machine."

 Amy returned with their drinks and a plate of fresh strawberries on a bed
of chopped ice.

 "The steam bath will help this drink feel like you've had two," said Kelly.
"Suck it through the straw and you'll think you've had four!"

 "If this is going to hurt a lot, maybe I better have a couple of these,"
said Laura.

 Kelly laughed.  "It won't be that bad Laura.  Just think of it as 'training
' for your chosen career."

 "Will you stay with me Kelly?" Laura asked, suddenly serious.

 Kelly could see the uncertainty in her eyes and reached for Laura's hand.
"Don't worry baby.  I'll be with you every second and I'll hold your hand."

 They finished their drinks in relative quiet and headed for the showers.

 The showers themselves were something to behold.  It was like a giant dorm
shower with multiple gold plated heads spouting water from the walls.  Gold
grate-like racks lined the walls holding the top name shampoos, conditioners
and natural hand made soaps.  There were a few privacy curtains for those
who desired it, and slip proof benches both in and out of the line of the
spray.  There were about a half dozen women in the showers, but Kelly just
took off her robe and hanging it up with her towel walked into the room.
After a moment's hesitation, Laura followed suit.

 There were two women in a corner soaping each other's bodies barely using
their hands as much as their bodies.  Laura thought she recognized one as
the publisher of Charlotte's newspapers, but it couldn't be.  She must be
mistaken.

 Kelly saw Laura look and laughed quietly.  "It must be something about
communal showers," she said.  The ladies engaged soon moved to an area where
they could pull a privacy curtain across.

 "Not to worry honey, they just don't know who you are and this is a very
discreet club."

 They showered quickly, scrubbing each other's back before walking into a
cold rinse stall.  From there they retrieved their robes and towels and
headed for the steam room.

 Though Laura felt very comfortable being naked with Kelly, she was a bit
self-conscious walking into a room where the better part of all the clients
sat around in a semi fog of steam totally nude.  They had left their robes
in the small hallway that led to the steam bath.  Following Kelly's lead,
Laura had wrapped her towel around herself but was surprised to see Kelly
remove hers to lay it on the marble surface that served as wall to wall
benches around three sides of the room.  Many of the women were sitting or
laying on the higher of the two-section platform.  The cloud of steam only
offered slight coverage.  It was one thing to be in a shower with other
women as that was reminiscent of her junior high school days, but to just
sit or lay openly was disconcerting.  Suddenly it dawned on her that shortly
another woman would be looking very close at her genitals, and stripping
away the light furry covering from most of it.

 "Kelly," Laura whispered softly, "I'm not sure that I can go through with
this.  I thought I was prepared for this, but I haven't been naked in front
of more than a few class mates years ago, and then only for a few minutes."

 "I understand sweetie." Kelly said.  "Try not to think of yourself nude,
but instead you are dressed just like everyone else.  Wouldn't you feel out
of place if you were wearing a bathing suit in here?"

 Laura laughed.  It did seem pretty funny and would attract a lot more
attention than just being in her birthday suit.  She settled back like Kelly
and just closed her eyes letting the steam open up the pores on her body.
She was nearly dozing when an attendant came in and gently shook her telling
her that Mistress Helga was ready for her.  Wrapping their towels around
themselves and picking up their robes they were escorted to a private room
with a very professional and gleaming gynecologists chair.

 Laura disrobed and sat in the chair as directed by another Scandinavian
blonde who said she was to prepare Laura.  Kelly was sitting on a stool
beside her, holding her hand, when Mistress Helga entered the room.

 Mistress Helga was a pleasant woman with a heavy accent but the demeanor of
a professional.  She quickly explained the process and that it would not be
a hot wax removal as done in beauty salons, but rather a warm wax based
solution of herbs and other ingredients that would make the process less
painful and quicker.  It would also greatly reduce the number of times Laura
would have to have the procedure repeated before all of the hair follicles
were totally removed.

 "My dear," said Mistress Helga, "in ten years you will appreciate what you
start today."

 Laura nodded nervously.

 "Underarms?" she asked.

 Kelly said to give Laura the full treatment.

 Quickly and with the aid of the assistant, the solution was spread with a
soft brush to Laura's underarms and legs, right down to her toes.  As the
solution went on under her practiced strokes, her assistant applied sterile
strips of what appeared to be a stiff gauze material pressing it firmly into
place.

 With Laura's legs completely covered, Mistress Helga used a remote control
to electronically open the stirrups spreading Laura's legs wider and wider.
Slipping on a pair of latex gloves, Mistress Helga applied a different
solution to those tender areas Laura needed permanently nude.  She asked
Laura if she had a particular form or style she preferred, but Kelly
intervened and told Mistress Helga that Laura did not want to completely be
bare nor did she want a fancy design but instead something that could be
easily covered by a small bikini brief.

 Mistress Helga nodded her understanding and applied the new solution to the
inside of Laura's groin, completely denuding her of any hair behind or
beside the vagina while leaving just a heart shaped patch which started
right above her labia folds and ended about three inches higher with a
growing width to a top spread of about the same size as the length.  More
solution was applied to the top of the patch right to Laura's belly button.
With the gauze firmly pressed into place, the assistant started applying a
layer of another sealant to the exposed gauze being very careful not to
spread it past the material.

 Finally satisfied, Mistress Helga said, "Well now Miss Laura, this is the
only really uncomfortable part of this procedure.  I would ask that you
remain motionless in this position for ten minutes at which time I will
return.

 Though she was in an awkward position, Laura was no longer self-conscious
about her current state.  Mistress Helga had been very professional in her
manner, much like a doctor.  For the next ten minutes with Kelly still
holding her hand, the two girls made small talk.

 "What I don't understand," said Laura "is why it will take two weeks to
shoot the catalog.  I figured it out and working four hour days, five days a
week Jorge must have a few hundred designs he wants me to pose in."

 Kelly laughed and explained that she might be lucky if she tried on two
outfits a day.  "It will take Mike about an hour and a half shooting off a
lot of film on each outfit hoping for that one special shot.  Don't you
remember how much time Todd took with you in the two outfits?"

 Laura remembered.  Doing a bit of mental gymnastics she finally said, "Wow.
I never realized how much work goes into a catalog."

 "Advertising is the first and most important step on the way to a sale,"
said Kelly.  "Between Marge redoing your makeup and Mike wanting to change
backgrounds, I doubt you'll see more than 15 outfits introduced by you in
the fall catalog."

 "Out of curiosity," Laura asked, "why did you tell Mistress Helga to leave
my pubic hair in such a basic pattern?  It's really not much different than
what I had to start with, I would have thought something more exotic would
be called for."

 Kelly laughed.  "Styles come and go, but you want to look like everyday
people which is why you are forbidden under our contract to get any tattoos
or body piercing other than the single holes in your ears.  You can always
shave a pattern into the basics, hell you can even shave it all off in the
future if you like and you aren't going to be required for a shoot for a few
months.  Shaving lets it grow back in, but this procedure. It's going to be
permanent in a few sessions.  The really nice part is you won't have to
worry any more about razor nicks or itchy bumps.  Your legs will look and
feel so smooth."

 "I don't understand Kell." Laura said.  "If this is such a miracle cure,
why don't more women do this instead of shaving?"

 "Simple economics my dear.  A pack of razors costs less than five dollars
and will last you nearly a year.  This on the other hand costs $800 a
treatment not including membership fees."

 "Oh my God!  I can't afford this!"

 "Relax Laura" said Kelly. "Take this as a gift from someone who cares for
you."

 "Kelly, I can't let you do this.  It's too much."

 "Laura. too much is a relative term.  Why were you afraid of telling your
dad how much you were going to make this year?"

 "Well, you know," said Laura. "It's more than he will make in a year in a
dangerous job.  I didn't want to embarrass him or make him feel bad."

 "There.  You see?  You're starting to understand and get some perspective
on what's too much.  Besides you're going to first have to save up enough to
pay for your education."

 "Okay, then I will graciously accept with my heartfelt thanks," said Laura,
"but if it's not getting too personal, can I ask you why you have two full
time memberships to this place.  I mean... it's for women only.  Do you have
friends you bring here?"

 Kelly dropped her head for a minute and then looked Laura right in the
eyes.  "I guess it's always been my wishful thinking that I could share this
place with a close friend, but in the four years I've been coming here, you'
re the first person I have ever shared this with."

 Laura was about to say more but was interrupted by Mistress Helga's return.

 "It is nearly time," she said.  "I know you are worried about pain, but let
me assure you that it will be little more than a slight stinging sensation.
The formula is my own, and it includes special herbs that have numbed your
skin and dilated your pores loosening the follicles."  She checked the gauze
all around to verify it had taken evenly and had dried completely before she
pressed on a button on the desk.  In less than a minute, her assistant and
another girl entered the room.

 "Now then, if you are ready."

 Laura nodded squeezing Kelly's hand.  As the two assistants took their
places on each side of the chair, Laura asked Kelly if this really was
painless.

 Mistress Helga stood between Laura's legs and grasped the top of the gauze
in two firm fisted hands while her two assistants stood on the outside of
Laura's legs each holding a double handful of the cloth.

 "I'm not sure sweetheart.  I had my first ones done in New York.  Mistress
Helga has only done a bit of touch up work on me these last few years."

 "Kelly." said Laura with anxiety in her voice.

 "It's the first time that's a bitch," said Kelly nodding to Mistress Helga.

 With a nod from their mistress, all three pulled downward at once.

 "Holy Fucking Jesus Christ!" Screamed Laura.

 As she sat forward in the chair the two assistants quickly and deftly
pulled off the short strips still under Laura's underarms.

 Laura didn't even notice this last bit.  She was looking forward at her
vagina checking carefully if it was still where she had seen it last.

 Her eyes were moist, but not as much from pain as shock.

 "You see," said Mistress Helga.  "It stings a little the first time because
there is so much to remove, but next time it will be much easier."

 Mistress Helga left the room as her assistants vigorously rubbed a cool
herbal lotion into the parts of Laura that were bright red.  Kelly herself
took on the task of smearing lots of the lotion around Laura's vagina and
soft belly.  With long deliberate strokes she applied the lotion using the
whole of her hands to smooth it in, rubbing well beside and past Laura's
exposed vulva and right to her butt.  As the assistants finished her
underarms, legs and feet they left Kelly to finish the job she had started.
Laura was no longer red and the stinging sensation was soon replaced by
arousal as Kelly's hands continued to slide back and forth beside her
enlarged clit now easily exposed in the hairless region.

 It was sensory overload.  Between the tension and anxiety and the
application of the wax compound and the removal of it to the constant
sliding of Kelly's hands over her sensitive vulva, it was not long before
Laura was breathing in short shallow breaths.  Seeing Laura on the verge of
a climax, Kelly extended her thumbs so that as she stroked she deliberately
pressed against Laura's clit.  Within seconds Laura was panting and with a
deep groan achieved a massive orgasm before collapsing back into the chair.

 Kelly continued to rub softly and gently slowing her motions down and
retracting her thumbs, though she was fascinated with the size of Laura's
clit and how it seemed to pulsate.

 Finally an embarrassed Laura grabbed her towel and threw it over her head
giggling.

 Kelly stepped back and took a seat again.

 From under the towel a quiet voice said, "Kelly, will you still respect me
in the morning?"

 Kelly laughed and pulled the towel from Laura's face.  She was surprised to
see a blushing Laura underneath it.  Giving her a gentle kiss on the lips,
Kelly said, "You earned my respect long before this.  You are a loving soul
and if Todd hadn't found you first maybe I would have."

 Pulling on her robe, Laura followed Kelly out to the covered patio.  This
area was reserved for the clients who smoked.  As soon as they seated
themselves, Amy was at their side.  She placed a tray of assorted imported
cigarettes on the table and lit the one Kelly chose, before asking if the
ladies would like another drink.

 "I certainly would," smiled Kelly and ordered another strawberry daiquiri.
Laura felt she deserved one as well.

 As Amy walked away, Laura said, "You know that's the first time another
woman has touched me in that way, and the first time another woman has ever
given me an orgasm?"

 "Are you bothered by it?" Kelly asked.

 "No, just amazed.  It was so overpowering."

 "I'm sorry if I over stepped the bounds of friendship Laura, I think it was
just the heat of the moment.  It won't happen again."

 Laura looked at Kelly with puzzlement in her eyes.  "Why?" she asked.

 Kelly sighed.  "I'm not going to interfere with you and Todd."

 "Kelly Jennsen.  I swear you are the most difficult person to get close to.
I've already told you that I told Todd about my feelings for you.  He doesn'
t feel threatened by my attraction to you and before I met you Kelly, I have
never had any feelings for any other woman."

 Amy returned with their drinks and Kelly took the opportunity to grab
another cigarette.  When Amy discreetly left, Kelly looked at Laura and
asked why.

 "What do you mean 'Why?'" Laura asked.

 "I mean why would you bother to explore any feelings you think you might
have for me when you have Todd?  I know Todd and he's a great catch.  I'm
sure from what I have seen of you two that he satisfies you in bed, so why
bother with me?"

 Laura's eyes misted over for a second.  "Because I love you Kelly."

 Kelly pulled Laura into a close embrace and whispered, "I love you too
baby, more than you know.  So much more than you know, but I can't take
anything away from Todd."

 Laura could see a soul in turmoil in front of her as Kelly settled back
into her chair.  Finally she said, "Kelly, can you tell me how high is up?
How long is forever?"

 Kelly looked at her with a confused expression.

 "Don't you see Kelly?  That's like Love.  You can't measure it.  You can't
limit it.  Just think on that for a while.  When I was with you Sunday
night, I didn't feel less loved by Todd, I just felt twice as loved."

 They sat in silence for a while as they finished their drinks and then it
was time for Laura to shower off the soothing balm.  Out of habit or for the
sheer enjoyment of it, Kelly showered with her.
