Wet Weather Companion Part 2

This is the second part of my story and deals with my usual niche rainwear fetish. If this is not to your taste, read no further.

Lily holds James to his offer to help sell Dorothy's raincoats in an unusual way which may or may not delight James. Then unexpected visitors arrive ....

Macked!

Lily decided to try her wiles with James' inhibitions lowered by being unused to alcohol.

“James you mentioned that you could help me to sell those mackintoshes you saw at the jumble sale, I've got a digital camera and there's a fairly modern desktop computer in the study. “

James responded “They really need to be modelled, just put on a coat hanger does not do them justice. “

Spotting her opportunity Lily replied “ Oh dear, I'm a bit too tall for them, Dorothy was more petite, a bit like yourself James. “ Then after a brief pause “ I don't suppose you would model them would you James? It would be such a help. “

James was trapped between desperately wanting to wear them but not wanting to appear odd. Thinking quickly he tried to wriggle out by saying “ They wouldn't look right over my clothes. “

Lily was ready for this “ That's no problem, I' m sure that Dorothy's clothes will fit you” and knowing the next objection, quickly added, “There's lots of unused make up in her bedroom, I'm sure that with your stage experience you can get by. Let me show you up to her room and you can transform. “

James really was stuck but also thrilled to have the perfect excuse for wearing his favourite garments so he let Lily lead him upstairs to Dorothy's bedroom.

Lily opened the door to the bedroom and showed James where everything was, explaining that she hadn't had the courage to clear all Dorothy's things away. James was doing his best not to appear too enthusiastic but very nearly betrayed himself completely when he found a collection of beautiful satin panties gathered at the leg with frilly lace and lined with rubber!

Lily spotted the reaction and explained that Dorothy had a slight incontinence problem but rather than wear usual protection she had these custom made by a small business in North Shropshire. I believe that the owner used to work for Atkinsons and she and her sister in law have a thriving business making these and traditional rainwear. (refers to ‘Elderly by Choice’)

James just managed to stop himself from asking for their contact details! He desperately fibbed “ I have a bit of a problem myself would it be too much to ask if I could wear a pair if these to protect the clothes? “

Lily smiled inwardly “ No, not at all, Dorothy would be delighted that they were used by someone in need rather than thrown away. Oh! There is something else that Dorothy had which you may find of use, she was very self conscious about her small bosom and made use of these inserts in her bra's to gild the lily so to speak, “ pointing to a drawer containing pairs of small breast inserts. “ There are some wigs in there too, Dorothy liked to ring the changes with here hairstyles on occasion. “

James thanked Lily but made no further comment which somewhat surprised Lily.

Lily left James to dress and went back downstairs to pour herself another Gin and Tonic, thrilled at the success of her extemporary ruse and keen to see what James' transformation would reveal. Such was her anticipation that she almost forgot to get the required digital camera.

After 30 minutes or so James made an entrance, and what an entrance! He was clad in black satin calf length mackintosh with a full skirt , fluffed out by a crimson silk party frock underpinned by a layered petticoat. The hood was down but a sweet rain bonnet covered a dark blonde , pixie hairdo with silver highlights. Red stockings descended into black patent leather 4” stiletto heels. As for his visage, James had contrived to convey a rather attractive woman of a certain age, a contemporary of Lily herself.

Lily was entranced and rushed over to James giving him a passionate kiss on his lips. After an initial shock, James responded in kind. Lily broke off after several minutes and realising what she had done began to apologise profusely to the somewhat bemused James. “I'm so sorry James, I really don't know what came over me, you just look so desirable. “

James smiled gently, “Lily, I loved every second of it, it's a good job you let me wear those special pants, I'm a bit moist. “

“Ohhh!” Said Lily dreamily, “Me too” and then realised what she'd said and blushed scarlet.

Photographed

The next half hour or so was spent with James being dressed in all of the macks which Dorothy had owned and it was an extensive collection of the delightful garments. James was unable to conceal his delight in wearing them despite his best efforts. Lily was delighted by James reaction and found herself becoming entranced by this curious young man. The pictures she took showed James/Judy to be a very confident model, displaying a range of feminine moods from brazen through coquettish to delectably shy. At the end of the session James reluctantly divested himself of the last raincoat though the heat of the fire must have been making him somewhat uncomfortable. Between them they carefully folded the macks and carried them back to hang in Dorothy's wardrobe, Lily noting the pangs of regret on James' face as they were tidied away and she resolved that she would not sell them though she did not inform James of her decision.

James then moved to the dressing table to remove his make-up but Lily stopped him “Oh please don't get changed James, you look so sweet and comfortable. “

James stopped “Are you sure, Lily? I mean I confess I love being dressed like this and have always felt happier in mature lady roles. “ James blushed deeply having made the confession.

Lily clapped her hands and laughed” How delightfully tactful you are to avoid the description “Old lady””

James' blushes deepened “No, no that isn't what I meant, it's just that because of my grandma I'm very much in sympathy with older women. “

Lily laughed even more “ James, when in a hole, stop digging! “

James smiled and conceded but then asked “ what if someone comes? “

Lily thought rapidly “I don't think I'm expecting visitors but if someone should come, You are James' aunt , helping him to settle in, erm! I know - Jennifer Easthope! We can't call you Judy Knowbury in case someone remembers you with your grandma.

“Wow! Exclaimed James, “ You are so clever, were you a spy once? I will be 3 people in one, a sort of Unholy Trinity.

Lily laughed again and then turned serious “Have you ever thought of transitioning? “

James thought for a moment and replied “I suppose I have but it is such a big step and this area, which I love, is pretty conservative plus I'm just starting in my professional career, “then grinned “ There's always the wise woman. “

“Oh yes” said Lily half seriously, “Can you remember her name and where she lived? “

“Hmm! Possibly “responded James and again he heard that strange ethereal giggle which Lily once more appeared not to have noticed.

Interruptions

Their conversation was disturbed by a knocking at the door and cries of ‘It's only us'

“ Oh heck “ exclaimed Lily “I’d completely forgotten, It's my Ladies' Bridge night, Dorothy and I partnered up with a couple of lovely ladies to play regularly and since her passing I've continued to play 3 handed bridge with them. I don't suppose you play do you James? “

“Actually I do, “ replied James “ Nana taught me and we used to play in the holidays at the local village hall. Then at University I was in the college Bridge Club. “

“Would you mind continuing your act this evening, this couple are great fun” entreated Lily.

James thought for a second or so and then decided he was enjoying his new persona and Lily's company so much that he would take the chance to revisit his school acting performances again. He nodded his agreement to Lily.

Lily scurried to the door and let her friends in apologising for her tardiness in answering and helped them off with their coats, she then re entered leading two ladies and began introductions “ Jennifer may I introduce Solana Stanton and Susan Priors. “ (see ‘Rainpower’)

Jennifer stood and held out her hand but Solana was having none of that and pulled her into a hug and a cheek kiss. Susan followed suit and soon they were comfortably seated around the fire quizzing Jennifer on her status. Lily helped enormously supplying details of Jennifer's presence here, explaining that she was staying with her whilst helping her nephew to settle in. The nephew James, of course, was back in London finalising his affairs and would be joining them in a few days. Jennifer took the respite Lily had given her to examine the pair of visitors, Solana was an attractive confident lady who appeared to be just a little younger than Lily whilst Susan was a very pretty girl seemingly in her late twenties or early thirties. Jennifer felt slightly uncomfortable because of the intense scrutiny she felt from Solana and she was somewhat relieved when the gaze lifted though it was replaced by a somewhat knowing smile.

Card Sharp

Lily checked her watch and hurriedly said “Look at the time, we must get going to the club if we are to get a table. I’m afraid that Jennifer and I have had a couple of drinks and shouldn't drive, would it be too much of an imposition for you to take us? “

“That's no problem” replied Solana, “ I have to drive anyway and there is plenty of room in my Skoda Superb”

“Great, “ responded Lily “ Jennifer and I will just get our coats and be with you in a sec”

The pair went upstairs and ‘Jennifer’ lost no time selecting one of the gorgeous macks she had modelled for Lily. To her surprise Lily appeared on the landing wearing a shiny grey /blue coat with an attached hood with a tartan lining, the back of the coat featured a curious fluted design below shoulder level. ‘Jennifer' looked for a moment and then exclaimed “ You have a Klepper! Oh how I have always wanted one of those. Rubber lined inside and out, I’m envious. “

Lily smiled “ I thought you might like it, Dorothy bought it for me on a trip to Germany and I confess that I adore its smartness and practicality. The patented ventilation it features from the fluting at the back ensures that it does not become uncomfortable from perspiration like other macks, Atkinsons excepted, of course. “

They descended the stairs and joined Solana and Susan in the hallway, who had both put on their raincoats as well. Solana and Susan exchanged knowing looks unseen by Lily and Jennifer who seemed so taken with each other that they were oblivious. Solana and Susan linked arms for the short walk over the gravelled courtyard to the car. Lily and ‘Jennifer' followed suit.

The short drive in the car to the Bridge Club venue did not provide much opportunity for conversation especially as Lily and ‘Jennifer' seemed only to have eyes for each other. The Bridge Club was hosted in lounge of the exclusive Ladies Tennis Club which Lily had mentioned to ‘Jennifer' which prompted Lily to make a mental note to propose ‘Jennifer' as a member. The rainwear clad quartet entered the building in two linked pairs and quickly shed their outer apparel in the cloakroom. They made their way into the lounge, introductions were made for ‘Jennifer' to the President of the Tennis and Bridge Club, Tricia Mortimer, who was delighted that Lily seemed to have found a new friend and hoped that she could be persuaded to join their little club.

The four found a table, ordered a bottle of hock and began playing cards. It soon became apparent that ‘Jennifer' was a very skilled player and she and Lily won several ‘rubbers' before they decided to call a halt and relax in pleasant conversation. It was soon revealed to ‘Jennifer' that Susan and Solana were close neighbours of each other and had delightful secluded cottages with views of Corvedale.

Susan began to explain “I retired from my IT job when the company I worked for was bought out by one of the big players and because we had an employee share scheme, I made sufficient money to be able live comfortably, if somewhat simply. The area around Ludlow and the Brown Clee had always interested me since the Clee Hills could be seen from a number of the Black Country towns where I was born. I was lucky enough to find the cottage near to Solana at a price I could afford and I've never been happier. Solana has made me very welcome even though the cottage had belonged to her old friend Bethany Middleton. “

On hearing the name Bethany Middleton, ‘Jennifer' turned very pale and begged to be excused as she made a rapid exit to the ladies toilets. Lily got up to follow her saying “ I'd better make sure she is alright, she has told me that she is not used to alcohol and at my instigation she did have a large G&T before we set out. “

Lily found ‘Jennifer' looking positively ashen and on the verge of tears. Through her anguish ‘Jennifer' managed to blurt out “ The wise woman I told you about who gave me the potions to stave off puberty and maintain my androgyny , was named Bethany Middleton” .......
