CHAPTER 23 -- IT COULD ONLY HAPPEN IN SAN FRANCISCO
(NOTE TO READER: One of my followers suggested that I might start my chapters with a comment about my story. As many have surmised, this is not a story of fiction. My writing reflects real events in my life. As described to one reader, "
As written, the timeline is probably 90% accurate; the dialogues are probably 85% accurate. But the overall story line is 100% accurate. From beginning to end, my story carried on for almost 6 years. The earlier days are actually the most vivid and those are the experiences that I share in my writing." I cannot change who I was. I truly enjoyed the majority of my experiences. The major casualty of my chosen life was the damage that happened between my family and me. My family would eventually discover my activities and banished me from the family. Chinese shame is not something to be challenged. Unfortunately, I have been fully estranged from my family for over ten years.)
I drove in the direction of my own bank, knowing that there were other competing banks within walking distance of it. I figured if I opened various accounts near each other it would be easier in the long run.
The competing banks included some of the usual suspects: Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. All of them had Saturday hours. Opening the accounts was fast and easy. I knew the routine from my own bank. On the applications I simply wrote "Student" as my job description and explained that I had a couple of part time jobs. No one questioned it; why would they? In all, I opened 4 accounts, each with a thousand. The amount was not significant enough to cause raise any eyebrows.
The following weekend I would open 4 additional accounts. The weekend after that 4 more. I maintained 13 accounts in all, including the one I already had at my own bank. Once the accounts were established, each account grew by approximately fifteen hundred every other week. But, my cash would still start to pile up faster than I could legitimately deposit into banks. I would simply have a stockpile of cash in my closet.
Once my accounts were opened on that Saturday, I went to a nearby Walgreen's. After the success of my first week, I knew that there was no such thing as 'too many condoms'. The shelves looked pretty empty after I was finished loading my shopping basket. I added a few bottles of KY and browsed through the feminine hygiene and other than the Gatorade. But I considered few additional items that were not on my first business supply shopping excursion.
The first was Summer's Eve douche. There were 6 bottles on the shelf. I had used douche as a weak option to birth control before, but this time I thought it would be helpful to clean my vagina more thoroughly after an out-of-control date.
The second was a decent quality electric razor. I was smooth and intended to stay that way.
I moved along to the last item. I looked at the shelf and made a selection. Just to be certain, I decided to get two. Pregnancy tests. I smiled when I looked at the outside of the packaging and saw the blue plus sign.
I brought my shopping basket to the front of the store and waited in line. The woman in front of me glanced at my basket and grimaced a look of disgust. I didn't bother to look behind me to see what the man behind me must have been thinking when he saw my basket.
The clerk was male and he scanned my packages one at a time. When he scanned the pregnancy tests, I chuckled and said to him, "Just in case." He seemed a little dim and didn't reply.
He bagged my things and I walked out the exit.
I returned to my car and drove away. I had already looked up the address of the boutique and knew approximately where it was.
The store is called 'Pleasures from the Heart', it could have just as easily been called 'Pleasures for the Pussy', but I doubt the city would have allowed the signage. It was a playground like I had never imagined before.
It was a sexual novelty shop that had mundane things like porn videos to the exciting, including bedroom toys and the naughtiest clothing that I had ever seen. There were skirts barely 4 inches tall, crotchless panties and pantyhose, nippleless bras and lingerie after lingerie. Much of the clothing was called "costume clothing", but Halloween was months away. These were year-round fun-in-the-bedroom costumes. I was overwhelmed the moment I walked into the store. But, what I fell in love with was fence net. I knew what fish net was, but fence net was so much more revealing.
I was instantly drawn to fence net cocktail dresses. They were tight fitting knit dresses that were had multiple options of body exposure with broad laced fence netting.. I flipped through and found a number of dresses in Extra Small Petite, which was my preferred size.
There were a couple of people working there; they were both women. I asked if they had a dressing room. One of them led the way. She said, "We have a tall mirror outside the changing rooms. You can check out the clothes in the mirror as long as the clothes are not too revealing. Keep in mind, you are not the only customer in here and it's easy to get carried away," and she pointed to a man that was lurking at the other end of the store. She looked through my dresses and said, "You can wear any of these three out here, but for this one you would need to wear underwear, and it doesn't look like you are."
I simply said, "Ok" and entered the dressing room.
I tried on the first dress. On the wall mirror inside the dressing room I could immediately see that I looked like a total slut. The dress barely covered anything. It was jet black and extremely short and hung only about an inch below my crotch line. The knit fabric squeezed my body nicely showing my petite curves. The front and back were covered, but the sides were open, revealing that I wasn't wearing any underwear. The sides of my small breasts were also slightly exposed.
I opened up the dressing room door and walked to see myself in the reflection of the wardrobe mirror. The dress fully transformed me. I saw right away that the dress revealed me for what I wanted to be, an expensive hooker. I loved it and it was a keeper. I looked over at the gentleman lurker. He was eyeing me and seemed to be thinking the same thing.
I returned to the dressing room to try on the next dress. Like the first, it was open on the sides and extremely short. But unlike the first, the fence netting was open down the center of the front exposing my body between my breasts down below my navel. It was another keeper. The lurker smiled his approval again.
The third dress was yellow and was similar to the first from the front, but the fence netting wrapped all the way around meaning my entire backside was exposed. I thought to myself, 'Did the clerk know that this dress was open in the back?' But I wanted to see myself, and peeked outside my door.
The clerk was standing near the door and asked how I was doing. I immediately told her how much I loved the store, but asked, "Are you sure I can wear this one? I want to see it. I really like it."
She looked at me standing in the doorway and said, "Yes, you can wear that one. It's okay if people see your cheeks in public. In fact, because of breast feeding laws you can technically expose your breasts in public too. But, you're not supposed to expose anything below the waist from the front. Well, not here at least. Places like San Francisco, people can do almost anything they want."
So with her confirmed permission, I walked to the mirror. It looked so fucking sexy. I turned to look at my back side. It was as if I was naked. But, my bare ass also revealed faint pink belt marks from my morning experience with Todd. I thought that made me look even sexier. I looked around the store. There was now a second gentleman, and he and the lurker were both staring in my direction. I turned my back to them and looked back over my shoulder and to them I asked, "Is it too much? I like it."
Neither spoke, they just smiled.
The clerk said, "Wow, your body pulls that off nicely. I wish I was as small as you are."
"You really think so?"
She said, "Absolutely. Are you shopping for personal fun or work?"
