Uplifting Seven

After that Steve drove us home and he congratulated us on our good fortune as he drove.

Tatiana said that now we were big names we may need a more handsome driver so I said that we couldn’t get anyone more handsome than Steve so maybe we should just insist on a classier car.

That made him laugh and he said that he thought it was going to be fun driving us two around so Tatiana told him that it will be us four as we had nominated Francine and Margo as our personal assistants.

Back home we went into the other apartment to chat with the girls. They were over the moon for us when we said we already had been given the gig and then sad that we would probably move away.

They cheered up when we told them that they would be taking the trip with us as our PAs and that we would push to get them in front of the camera as well.

Tatiana decided that we should all go out for a meal on her so we all needed to look good as she had a place in mind. We waited until she made a call to book a table and then another to book a cab.

That done we had about two hours to get ready and, although I thought that this was a long time, Margo said that she would pop in and help me once she had got ready.

I went back to my apartment and undressed completely, put my hair in the shower cap and had a long shower. I washed with the body wash and thought that the last forty-eight hours had flipped my life around and I didn’t have to think about going to work Monday if I didn’t want to.

No, I thought, that’s not the way I was brought up. I need to go in and make sure that everything is done right. With that in mind, after I had dried and put on a robe, I went to my bag and pulled out my phone, meaning to call Keith at home. When I logged on I saw that he had sent a message and it was short but not sweet.

‘Justine died today at eleven, funeral Thursday. All future visits cancelled’

I rang his home number and his wife answered. I said it was Gerry calling Keith and I heard her call to him that there was a girl on the phone for him.

When he said hello I said that I was calling him back because of the message he had sent. I gave him my condolences and he thanked me. He then asked who I was and I realised I had been using my Geri voice.

I told him that I was Gerry and that it had been an interesting couple of days. He asked me to meet him at the café around the corner for breakfast at eight on Monday and that he would drive me to the office afterwards. I said that I would see him then and we rang off.

I then sent an SMS to Maureen that I was having a business breakfast with Keith and that I would be late into the office. I also asked her if she could get on to the head office to see if there was someone they could send to us as I may be taking some time off for personal reasons. I pressed the send button and thought that she will know what those reasons were when she saw me. I was not going back to the office as Gerry any more.

I had left the door unlocked and was in the gaff and pulling on some red panties when I heard Margo call as she came in.

I called her through to the bedroom and she looked at me, taking in what I was putting on.

“A girl for just two days and you already know what you should be wearing for a celebration dinner. I bet there is a red mini in the wardrobe that will go with those.”

She was resplendent in a midnight blue creation that shimmered as she moved and I just stood and gaped at her with a bra in my hand.

“Come on, slowcoach, we need to make you look like a supermodel.”

I put the bra on and we did find a red mini that needed sunglasses to look at, it was so shimmery.

There were red heels in the rack and I put them on and wobbled about a bit before I started to get the hang of them.

She sat me at the vanity and worked on my face; I was getting used to this sort of thing now and had already had three faces today, the first in the morning and two more at the shoot.

While she worked I told her about Justine and that I was meeting Keith in the morning.

When I told her that he would not be visiting any more she said “Of course, he had a dependency on his sister. I expect his session with you made him think more about his own sexuality instead of his fetish. You may well have frightened him off for life. I hope so as it would be hard on him if he can’t get past it.”

I thought a bit and then asked her if she would like to move in with me as we could now afford to take on the apartment in the normal way. I was sure that Keith would not need the fun room any more so we could clean it out and do something else with it.

She said that we would have to go through the gadgets and gizmos that were there as there may be something that we may find useful. I then asked her if she would still stay with me if I transitioned, being certain I would need a breast job pretty quickly if I was to fulfil my contract.

She was quiet for a bit and I started to worry. She then smiled and told me that she would be happy to move in with me and it would not matter if I gained breasts or even if I lost my dick, although she said that she wanted to enjoy that as long as possible.

She said that she had been bi all her life and it did not matter to her what gender her lover was as long as there was love. I told her that there was a lot of love and it would only grow stronger and then we had to repair her lipstick as well as mine.

I asked if she thought that Tatiana and Francine would get on all right without her.

She laughed and remarked that they would be happy to see her go as she had been a bit of a dampener on their nights. I said that I had noticed them dancing closely on Saturday evening and she told me that they spent most nights in one bed or another.

Their apartment was a mirror image of this one and she had the master bedroom so she expected they would move into that together after buying a bigger bed.

I packed the little red shoulder bag that I had used the night before and we went to see if the others were ready. They were waiting for us and we went down to the lobby to wait for the car that Tatiana had organised.

That turned out to be a glittering Roller with a uniformed chauffeur. Tati said we had use of it for the evening and the driver would wait at the restaurant. I suggested that we see if he could eat in the kitchen while we dined and offered to pay for him.

Tatiana hugged me and said that it was a good job I was around to ground her as she was starting to act like a diva and that needed to stop.

At the restaurant we were greeted by the head waiter and Tatiana asked him if they could send someone out to take our driver somewhere he could have a meal himself with it added to our account.

The man looked surprised and then smiled. When he led us into the dining area he waved to a couple of waiters, who were hovering by a table in the corner, and veered towards one that was laid out with silver service and right in the middle of the room.

When we were being seated he asked “If I may be so bold, ladies, but do you have an occasion that you are celebrating tonight?”

Tatiana gestured to me and told him that we had been chosen today to be the faces of a national advertising campaign with a focus on twins being double the woman. He smiled even wider and said that he welcomed us to his establishment and hoped that we came back again, often; especially after we graced the billboards around town.

We ordered drinks and looked at the menu. It was in French but Francine was well up to the task of telling us what everything was and we allowed her to order for us.

While we had the first course I told the others about Justine and her funeral. We all decided that we would attend it when we knew where it was and Margo proposed a toast to the most elegant woman she had ever met.

I then told them my plans for the two apartments if Keith agreed to them and I could see the wheels turning in two heads as they absorbed the implications. The look that passed between them was precious so I proposed a toast to two loving couples and we all blushed.

It was a lovely meal and we complimented the chef when he came out to serve our flamed dessert. I knew that I could get well used to this type of service and attention.

When Tatiana paid the account she added a decent tip and we were all given loyalty cards with direct connection for bookings.

“It has a code number on each card, just quote that and we will fit you in, no matter what” we were told.

We thanked him and went outside where our driver was waiting at the bottom of the steps with a wide smile on his face.

He helped us into the car and, as he pulled away, said “Thank you for the meal ladies, it was most unexpected but welcome.”

He pulled some cards from his top pocket and passed them to Francine in the front seat. “These are cards which will give you direct access to me and I will try to attend to you as a priority. I would be happy to have you as regular customers.”

We thanked him and Margo gave him a sizable tip when we arrived home. Tatiana had paid for his time tonight on-line when she booked.

Of course, before we parted to enter our apartments we had to have some photos taken. I had the one of me and Margo shimmering under the fluoro lights enlarged and it graces the sideboard to this day.

The weekend came to a close with the two of us sliding around on the satin sheets that would certainly need to be washed in the morning.

With our future now more certain we took care to satisfy each other and our love was lifted onto another level before we finally slept.
