Sunday Shopping (open)
(( Continued from Arting Around All Day ))
The cabbie stopped in front of Rachyl's apartment building, and the two women got out. As the driver started to rattle off the fare, Rachyl said, "If you wait here six minutes, we'll be right back out, and there'll be a little something extra in it for you."
Hand-in-hand, into the building they ran, then up the stairs and into Rachyl's "ratflat." She dropped off the blanket-in-a-bag, quickly freshened up, then found a pale green blouse for Meegan. "It might be a tad small, but it should fit you."
They ran down to the cab, and made it back within five minutes. "Thanks for waiting," Rachyl said. The drive went quickly.
They stepped out of the cab, and Rachyl tipped the cabbie as she had promised, with a little extra. As they walked in the searing heat towards the entrance, Rachyl commented, "You look cute in my blouse, it's a bit short but I love how it shows off your belly and navel ring. I'm sorry but it's the only color I had clean."

"Yes, well, that would be because you wouldn't be able to move with my giant self on you." She laughed as she followed Rachyl into the changing room. Once inside she loosened the lacings of Rachyl's corset and then left to try on the smaller boots.

Meegan had approved of the outfit Rachyl chose, and the boots looked great on her, so both women checked out, and laden with another bag each, exited to the main Mall.
They walked almost in step to the next store on Meegan's list - Express. As they walked, Rachyl commented, "You know, the last few weeks working with you, has probably been the longest stretch of time I've actually dressed in a feminine manner. Skirts, blouses, corsets... It's rather liberating, and I've come to realize I quite enjoy it."

Meegan wasn't sure what to say to that, so she gave Rachyl a pat on her arm. They entered the blue and white interior of Express and Meegan pulled Rachyl to the racks of camisoles.
"When we're done here we can go to Old Navy and get you stocked up in corny tees and jeans."

Rachyl shook her head as they turned the corner to enter Express. "No, I think the next few stores are wish-list only, and I'll come back at the end of the week."

"If that's the case, we need to leave the mall and take a little walk down to the boutiques and you can ogle Versace, and Armani and I can go to the Coach store and get a bag to match these boots."
Meegan pulled three different styles of cami out in Rachyl's size and gave them to her.
"If you're a good girl and keep your hands to yourself in the fancy stores, I'll buy you a bag to go with that brown and turquoise number."

"Most of these stores are more fancy than I've been shopping in for the last few years," she quipped.
She debated telling Meegan about her investments and such, but guessed that, with all that she knew about Rachyl, already did know.
She did decide, though, to tell her about... that night at the party... But somewhere a bit more private, in case she broke down again.
It actually felt good to cry, outside the museum, and she felt like a weight had been lifted from her heart.

""My dear, where we are going will make these places look like Target. Just do me a favor and do -not- ask how much something costs."
Eager to go to her favorite stores, Meegan took the camisoles from Rachyl and paid for them. As they left the store she gave Rachyl the bag. When they'd made it out of the mall Meegan took a right and began to walk down the strip. Her feet knew exactly where she was going. A five minute walk found them in front of a row of shops that could rival Rodeo Drive.
The first store was Rolex and she had no desire to go in there, she'd never bought one in her life and didn't plan to start now. The second was a Gothic-ah boutique and she knew better than to go in there, she'd never get out alive, so to speak. The third was Chanel and she knew she didn't need nor want anything from there. So she entered the fourth, Gucci.

"My dear, where we are going will make these places look like Target. Just do me a favor and do -not- ask how much something costs."
Rachyl looked at Meegan as if she'd grown a second head. "You should know I wouldn't ask that. Besides, I'd rather not have a heart attack today."
She couldn't help but be somewhat impressed by the sheer amount of fashion in the stores they walked past. They bypassed the Gothic-ah boutique quickly; if they'd gone in, Meegan probably would have been hounded like a celebrity.
"Which of course, she is," Rachyl thought.
When they entered the Gucci store, Rachyl saw a display with dresses similar to the one they'd inadvertently ruined a few weeks ago (with Veronica's help.) "Going to get a new dress? I still feel bad we ruined that red one."

"I know this is going to sound snobby, but...I never buy the same thing twice. That's a huge no-no in the industry. If the one you bought gets ruined you buck up and let it go. Besides mine was a runway fashion, once you purchase a runway fashion, buying it in the store makes it much less...special."
Meegan walked to a display of leather coats and fingered the lapel of a calf-length trench. It was a subtly different style than the other two she had and would work well with a pair of thigh high boots and a mini skirt she had purchased recently. It would do really well for the fall.
She gestured to the sales woman, who being good at her job recognized Meegan.
"I want this sent to my home, I should be there later today to recieve it."
"Yes, ma'am. And would the lady like it in her usual four?"
"Please."
"And the same account as usual, Ms. Masters."
"Yes, that would be fine."
"It would be my pleasure. Is there anything else I can get for you?"
Meegan looked up at Rachyl and saw that she was looking at a dress display.
"Send another in a" She looked closely at Rachyl trying to decide her size. "would you say a six or an eight?"
The saleswoman scrutinized Rachyl for a moment.
"An eight for the coat, madam, she is broad in the shoulder and bust, the six would fit her waist, but not her bust."
"Very well, send an eight to my offices tomorrow."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Thank you."
Meegan crossed over to Rachyl, and put an arm around her shoulder.
"So what do you think?"

Rachyl looked up at Meegan's inquisitive face. "I think you have a pretty good grasp on the fashion taste I'm acquiring. Which do you think would look better, the wide-dipping cleavage windowed dress, or the one that accentuates instead of baring it all?" She tittered.
Meegan

"I think the window dress. It would be great for going out dancing in."
Meegan squeezed Rachyl's shoulders. She really wanted her friend to develop a taste for the finer things, but little steps were best.
"Come on let's go check out Versace."

Rachyl hypothesized that, with Meegan showing her all these different, high profile fashions, the expensive lotions, and such, that the woman was subtly trying to introduce her to so-called 'high society' things, 'the finer things' that the commercial world has to offer. She chose to be a bit playful, but kept her hands to herself.
"So tell me, is there really no better chocolate in the world than Godiva? I've only had a super tiny bit once at an office party, and it was pretty good... Of course, you really can't tell much by a morsel not much bigger than half of a dime."

Meegan laughed out loud as she began to guide Rachyl from the shop."Oh, Rachyl. There are so many finer chocolates than Godiva, but Godiva has cornered the average American market for "the best you can buy while being everywhere, like Nike."
She pushed open the door, still chuckling. "One day I shall take you to Switzerland and you will know the meaning of fine chocolate."

Arching a well-defined brow, she entered the courteously-held door with a bit of a walking curtsey. "Well, I'm free all this week, and it's been getting kind of slow at work," she admitted with a wiggle of that same brow.
She stopped inside the door and turned back to Meegan, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Though, I don't have a passport, and I'd need to get the standard international immunization series, and I haven't even looked for a doctor since coming to Nachton. Maybe I should get Martha to give me a list of suggestions."
She spun as Meegan allowed the door to close behind them, surveying the shop, then stopped when she pointed in her lover's direction again. "Then again, I haven't been in a plane since high school, and never overseas. It might be fun to join the Mile High Club." She pursed her lips and put a finger to it demurely. "No, I'm absotively posilutely sure it'd be fun to do that." With a wink, she glided over to the blue dresses to the left of the entrance.

Meegan stood there and stared at her friend. 'Goofball.'
"I'll get you in with my doctor, a passport takes time so you need to take off tomorrow and go do that. You'll also need a european wardrobe, so we'll take care of that in the weeks before. I think if we do it right we can go for Thanksgiving. What do you say?"

Rachyl turned back to Meegan, beaming. "That sounds great! My only plans would have been to pick up a nice big turkey and kidnap your kitchen, so a trip to Europe sounds amazing!"
Rachyl started mumbling loudly to herself as she stared at the dresses, "Of course, I've only ever helped make Thanksgiving dinner, and haven't had opportunity to do it myself. I think that it can be one of the most amazing meals of the year. Especially corn pudding. Have you ever had corn pudding?" She turned to Meegan, then didn't wait for an answer as she turned back and circled around the display to the next dressed mannequin. "Mashed potatoes. Parsley potatoes. Cranberry sauce. Geez, we just had lunch and I'm making myself salivate."

"I'll make the reservations, maybe we can get some of the people from work to go. I usually have the strays over for a party or something. The ones like us with out a place to go for the holiday, but I think a trip to switzerland would be so much more fun."
Meegan glanced around the store, when nothing caught her eye she stayed close to Rachyl, watching her.
"I'm not a big fan of the traditional Thanksgiving, it's too hard to get through."

"Too hard because of the cooking, meal, and cleanup? Or because of..." A shadow passed over her face as she changed her tack. "We could always invite Veronica, oooh and the friends of hers she briefly mentioned those couple times. You know, I haven't had much of a chance to interact with anyone else on the sales or legal floor outside of you Jacob and Martha... I should rectify that..."
Still ramble-mumbling, she moved around to the next dress, and out of the corner of her eye caught sight of a pink dress. A heavy collar with two wide strips that ran down over the breasts, showing ample cleavage between, and a tight attached skirt that looked rather stretchy, allowing freedom of movement.
Rachyl indicated it with a nod of her head. "See, now that would be great, I think, but not in pink, even though pink is this year's 'in color'. Though I don't know, what do you think?"

"I think it's a great dress, but you , my love, can not wear pink."
Meegan pointed to a white silk dress. "I have that one."
She showed Rachyl a thigh-length trench coat in a light tan. "I love this one for you."

Rachyl looked at the coat from several different angles. "That's great, but what goes under it?"
She turned to Meegan and saw an almost evil grin quirking the woman's luscious lips. "Nothing, huh. Can't say I'm surprised."
