The Go-fer By Chris As Molly pulled into her parking place, she noticed that her office manager, Shelly, was still there and it was past six already. She had a firm rule that no one stayed at the office past quitting time, which was over an hour ago, unless, of course, it was absolutely necessary. She knew that her employees had a home life too. She would jump on her when she got into the office but nicely as she was feeling good. She had just left the courthouse where she had won a big case for her firm. Some lady had sued a theater because she had taken her six year old child to a PG movie that had a scene where a lion attacks a man. The scene was not that bad for a teenager or an adult but it could give a six year old nightmares and in this case it did. She was suing the local theater and its parent company for millions. But Molly was able to prove that the woman had been warned about this scene by her own friends as well as the lady who was sitting beside of the woman in the theater. It took a lot of work and she had to hire a private detective to find the woman that sat by this woman. The fact that she won, added another one hundred thousand dollars to the two hundred thousand that she charged. She and her three associates worked hard for three months on this case and now the firm that she had started was finally on solid ground. She had started the firm two years ago when she walked in on her second husband as he was about to put his cock into the blond intern that was laying across his desk with her dress pulled up over her back. They were both partners at the same big firm. Molly quickly got herself the best lawyer she could get and she took her second husband for everything he had. Then she sold out her interest in the firm to the rest of the partners as none wanted her around any more. Once she got her money, she hired some of the best associates from the firm as well as their office manager. They went with her because they knew that she would be fair and they also knew that they were not partner material as far as the firm that they were at. They all had families that they wanted to spend time with them and they knew Molly respected that. They knew that she didn't expect them to work twenty hours a day, seven days a week. So now she was set, they had enough money in the bank to know that they could make it as a firm. They could pick their cases and still make more than enough money to have a good life for them all. She shared the money, that they earned, equally with the associates and from their shares they all put in money for Shelly, the office manager, as they knew they couldn't survive without her. Plus the fact that Shelly kept the books and issued their checks didn't hurt her cause one bit. Molly unlocked the front door and walked into the office calling out to Shelly but she got no response. They worried her for a second, then she heard the floor above her creak and she knew that Shelly was upstairs either in the file room or the law library. She went on into her office, reminding herself to jump on Shelly for staying late when she came back downstairs. As she got to her desk, she kicked off her shoes and went to the bookcase behind her desk. She opened the doors on the bottom and pulled out Vermouth and Gin and a mixer. She then mixed a martini and poured it into a glass. She saved this drink for when she won a big case and this classified for that. She put the glass to her lips and took a small sip, feeling the liquid burn all the way down. "Congratulations on the case that was a nice win." Shelly said from the doorway to Molly's office. "What the fuck!" Molly cried as she caught the martini as it almost fell from her hand. She then turned around to see Shelly giving her a shit eating grin. "You scared the shit out of me!" "I'm sorry." Shelly said. "I bet you are, that just made your day, scaring the shit out of me. I should fire you for that alone." Molly said as she sat down in her chair. She then pulled out a cigarette case from her desk and an ashtray. She turned on the air purifier and she lit up her tenth cig of the day. "You know it is illegal to smoke in a public building." Shelly said with a big smile on her face as she loved to mess with her boss. "Fuck you!" Molly said as she inhaled deeply on her cig and blew out the relaxing smoke. "You know you are on thin ice with me, so I would watch what you say." Molly continued. "Tell you what, give me one of those and I will keep my mouth shut." Shelly said and then she saw the cigarette case come flying from Molly's hand. Shelly ducked and then picked up the case from the floor and lit a cig up. She then came over to Molly's desk and pulled up a chair. "So what are you doing here so late, you know how I feel about staying over." Molly said as she moved the ashtray to the center of the desk for Shelly to use. "I kind of did something today and I wanted to talk to you about it before you came into work in the morning." "You are really on thin ice aren't you? Okay just what exactly did you do?" Molly said with a smile, not that she was really concerned, whatever Shelly did, she was sure that she would approve but she liked to let Shelly sweat a bit first. Shelly took a deep drag on her cigarette before she spoke. "You know how you have wanted to hire a go-fer for the office." "Yes... and?" Molly asked. "Well... this morning a young girl walked into the office and she was looking for a job. Actually she had the wrong address; she was suppose to go to 1st North Street and ended up here. I told her that she was on 1st South Street and she apologized but then as she turned to leave, she asked me if we needed anyone. I started to say no then I remembered how we do need someone so I invited her to have a seat. I then started to talk to her and the more she talked the more I liked her. She is young and has no job experience but there was something about her that I liked. She was real sweet and very polite. I could tell she was raised right. She is young but mature. I then introduced her to everyone and let them talk to her. Then I kind of put her to work, doing some filing and stuff. That was what I was doing; checking her filing and it is all right. I think she is what we are looking for and she needs the job." "I see, so you have already hired her? You do like to get out on thin ice." Molly said with a serious face like she was a little irritated at Shelly. "No, No, I told her that you have to talk to her first, it was your decision. She knows that she doesn't have the job yet." Shelly said trying to back track, not expecting Molly to be upset. Molly kept her face straight for a moment longer and then she had to smile, "Don't worry, I trust you and we do need someone and I think we are at the point that we can do that. I was just getting you back for scaring me. When will she be in tomorrow?" "I told her to be here at eight sharp and I would bet that she will be early. She is a nice girl." "I know you told me that already. I think your motherly instinct has poured out for this girl, is there something else I need to know about her, something you are not telling me?" "Yes and no, she has had a hard life and she isn't a genius but I think she has a sharp mind. She just needs a chance. Just talk to her in the morning and decide." "I have already decided, she's hired but don't tell her yet. I know if you and everyone else like her then my name would be mud if I didn't hire her. And we do need someone else. You need help and we need for someone to deliver and pick up stuff. You know you are always having to bring files to the courthouse and filing papers. We need someone to do that for you. So now hit the road and get to your husband." "You too, and no more of those things before you leave." Shelly said pointing to Molly's empty Martini glass. "You're as bad as Big Mama." Molly said with a laugh. "I'm on my way out as we speak." "Good, then I will wait on you." Shelly said as she got up and went to her desk. "By the way just what is the new girl's name that I just hired?" Molly asked. Shelly stopped at the door and turned around smiling, "I guess that would help. Her name is Cindy Hudson." Molly sat another minute wondering just who this girl was and what she would be like. They had a good group here and she wanted someone who would get along with everyone. But if everyone else liked her then she knew she would too. She just didn't realize at that moment just how much she would grow to like this girl. That she had no clue as she slipped her shoes back on and went out to where Shelly was waiting for her. Molly arrived at the office at seven the next morning. She unlocked the door, turned on the lights and then turned off the alarm system. From there, she went straight to the kitchen, which was the only part of the house she did not change when she bought it. She took the coffee pot and rinsed it out before starting another pot. She waited there a few minutes until the pot was ready and she fixed herself a cup. From there, she headed to her office and closed the door. She liked to get there early and enjoy her coffee and a cigarette before the day started. Everyone knew not to disturb her during this hour. But once the hands on the clock hit eight a.m. all was fair. At about seven thirty, she heard Shelly come in and then she heard an unfamiliar voice. This she guessed was the new girl Cindy and curiously soon got the better of her. She picked up her empty coffee cup as she went to the door and casually opened it up. She then walked across the outer office saying good morning to Shelly but not glancing at Cindy. She got to the kitchen and found Big Mama there eating a biscuit. Big Mama was a rather large black woman who had put herself through law school while raising her four children. She was the mother of the group and she made sure that everyone was well fed. But she also had a sharp mind and told you what she thought, whether you wanted to hear it or not. "I made biscuits, you are welcome to one." Big Mama said. But Molly was angling around so that she could get a good look at Cindy. She found her sitting in a chair against the wall across from Shelly. She noticed that she had shoulder length light brown hair with medium size breasts, probably B cup and she could tell that she was tall. She had a nervous smile on her face. She was sort of a plain pretty, nothing special but Molly already found that she was liking her for some reason. "Earth to Molly, earth to Molly." Molly finally heard Big Mama say. "What, Wanda?" Molly said. Wanda was Big Mama's real name and everyone called her Wanda except when she started to mother them, then Big Mama was what she was called. She took that name as a badge of honor as she knew that she was big and she knew she would always be a mother first, in all things that she did. "Checking out Cindy, I see. She is a good girl and you could do a lot worse. I'd hire her if I was you." "Shelly has already told me that in a lot more words. I plan on hiring her, don't worry. Now give me one of those biscuits and when I leave, go feed her and then send her into my office." Molly said as she took the biscuit from Big Mama and walked to her office again not paying any attention to Cindy. At eight sharp, Molly looked up from the papers to see Big Mama escorting Cindy to her office and she could see Sam and Robert, her other associates, not far behind. Molly knew that she was being worked over good. They all wanted an extra person to do their running and they liked Cindy. Molly found herself smiling which was the last thing she wanted to do. She wanted Cindy to be on her toes and she wasn't striking the right pose to make her do that. "This is Cindy, Now be nice to her." Big Mama said as she left Cindy in the doorway. "Come on in and have a seat" Molly said as she gestured toward the couch at the side of the room. "Thank you for seeing me. I know you weren't really looking for someone but I do appreciate you taking the time to talk to me." Cindy said as she sat down. Molly knew that she had been given that line by one of her employees and now she wanted to get past that and see just who this girl was. Molly walked to the couch; she got her first real good look at Cindy. It was her light blue eyes that caught her attention. They just seemed to draw you in. Molly found herself speechless for a moment, but then she cleared her head. She didn't say anything for a second as she took the girl in. She had fair skin with just a few freckles on her face. Her hair was fine and straight and it framed her face. She found her first impression was right; she was pretty but in a plain way. "I just want to talk a few minutes with you, just see who you are. Everyone here seems to like you so you have made a good impression on them and I trust their opinion." Molly noticed that Cindy blushed at this comment and she could see her innocents coming out. "But I like to just get a feel for the people that I hire." "I can understand that, I don't have much, well any, work experience but I will try hard." Cindy said. Molly noticed that Cindy did maintain eye contact and that was a good sign. "I'm not worried about your work experience. We can show you what you need to know as you will be mostly filing, running errands for all of us, and delivering papers to the courthouse. These are the things that we need for you to do. They take time away from what we are doing and the filling is to the point that Shelly can't keep up with it." "I can do all of that, I know that I can." Cindy said with an energetic smile. "I'm sure that you can. Shelly said that you did fine with the filling that she gave you yesterday." Molly said and she saw that Cindy was blushing again. She was beginning like to see Cindy blush. There was just something about this girl that was getting to her. She could see why the others liked her so much but it was something else that she was feeling. "So tell me about yourself, what you want to do, what you want in life." "Well I'm not sure what I want to do in my life. I wish I did. I do know I want to go on with school but I don't have any money and my grades weren't good enough to get a lottery scholarship. I'm better when you show me how to do something than for me to get it out of a book. I want to do that but I also want to earn some money to get an apartment and a car. See we never had much money, enough to get by on but that is about it. Mom and Dad worked hard all their lives and now they ought to save their money for themselves and not have to support me. That is why I want to get out on my own." As Cindy spoke, Molly noticed that a string of her hair fell onto the side of her face and without realizing what she was doing, Molly reached over and moved the hair out of Cindy's eyes. As she did this, her fingers touched Cindy's forehead and Molly felt a bolt of electricity go through her. She didn't know why but it felt nice to touch her. Molly also saw a smile come across Cindy's face. It was a smile that seemed to tell her something but she didn't know what it was. Cindy went on talking about her life and Molly found herself looking more and more into Cindy's pretty eyes. When she finished, Molly paused for a moment before she said anything. "I like everything you have said, and like I said, you did a good job with the filing that you did for Shelly yesterday." Molly then paused for a second then continued, "But you mentioned that you wanted to get a car. Do you have a car that you can use now?" "No, we only have one car and my father has to have it for work. I usually take the bus when I need to go anywhere during the day. Is that going to be a problem?" Cindy said and Molly could see that Cindy was suddenly scared that she wasn't going to get the job. This was what she first wanted to do when Cindy came into her office but now that she got her there, she realized that wasn't what she really wanted now. She wanted to find a way around this problem for Cindy's sake but also for her own. Her mind began to go a mile a minute as it did when she was in the courtroom and had to think fast when something went wrong. As always she came up with a solution, one she couldn't believe that she was actually considering. "I may have a way around that problem, but I need for you to answer a couple of questions." "Okay, anything you want to know." Cindy said visibility relieved. "Have you ever had an accident of any type?" "Oh no, never." Cindy said. "And do you consider yourself a good driver." Molly said as she gave Molly her hardest stare, a stare that she reserved for witnesses that she thought was not giving her the complete truth. "Yes I do." Cindy said just as confidently. "Good, then I think that it will work out, you are officially hired." Molly said and then she was surprised by Cindy's reaction. She shrieked and then she jumped over and gave Molly a big hug. Molly was shocked at first but then she returned the hug. She wasn't much of a hugger but Cindy had an effect on her and it felt nice but she quickly broke off the hug when she started to feel something strange about it. Molly got her wits back before she continued, "Can you work over tonight? That is something I don't normally ask anyone to do but I do need for you to do so tonight." "Sure, anything you need for me to do. I really do appreciate you hiring me. I promise that you won't be sorry. I will do anything you ask of me." Cindy said as she got up and when Molly stood up she was going to shake her hand but before she could, she was being hugged again. This time she was more prepared. Molly held her a moment and she could smell Cindy's freshly washed hair and strawberry scented hair and a hint of her perfume. She liked both and she held on to her until Cindy let go. Again Cindy gave her that smile that seemed to be saying something but Molly still wasn't quite getting what the smile meant. She then escorted Cindy to the outer office and had everyone come there and then she introduced a beaming Cindy to the group, none of whom was surprised at the decision to hire her. They all welcomed her to the office and then they returned to their offices. Molly had Shelly show Cindy the phone system and how she screened the calls for the associates and for Molly. Once she had that down pat, Shelly made her way to Molly's office. "So now that we have her, what are we going to do with her?" Molly asked as Shelly sat down across from her desk. "Actually, I have been thinking about that all night. I mean, I have thought about it before when we talked about it but last night when I knew that we were actually going to hire someone, I started to seriously think about it." Shelly said. "And what did you come up with?" "Well first, I thought that I would get a board and set it up in the office and everyone would put what they need for her to do and as she does them, then they would be marked off. In her free time, then she would file and anything else that needs to be done. And when she is ready, then she can handle the office when I take a day off." "Well I have been telling you to take off; we can survive a day or two without you." "I know, but still I hate to take a day off but I do believe that I see a day coming my way soon." Shelly said with a smile. "Good, now what happens when two of us need her to do something immediately? Who decides which one she does first?" "I have thought of that too. I figured that either you or I will make that decision, that way they will be mad at us and not Cindy." "Good idea, but I am putting you in charge of her so you will be making that decision, besides I may be one of the people needing her to do something that conflicts with someone else." "Great, now I will have the boss mad at me." Shelly said with a laugh. "Well, you do love to walk on thin ice." Molly said smiling. "True," Shelly replied. "Now to a real problem, we need to solve." Molly said turning serious. "What is that?" Shelly said as she straightened up in her seat." "The fact that Cindy doesn't have a car, which prevents her doing one of the main things that we hired her for." "She doesn't? I just assumed that she did, everyone has one nowadays." Shelly said. "You know what happens when we assume something." Molly said. "Yea, we make an ass of yourself as I just did. I'm sorry. What are we going to do, I mean you hired her anyway." Shelly asked. "I have a solution but I need your help." Molly said and then she spelled out what she needed for Shelly to do. Once Shelly left the Molly's office, they both felt better about things. Molly then got back to her work; she had to finish the paperwork done for the case that she won the day before. Once that was done, she left to deliver the file to the courthouse. As she left, she saw Shelly working with Cindy and she had to smile as she knew starting tomorrow, she would be able to send Cindy to do this. She returned just before noon and she saw that everyone was getting ready to leave. She shut down the office during lunch and she encouraged everyone to leave for an hour. When she first started the firm, she told everyone this and they all agreed with her that is was good to clear the mind before getting back to work. But she quickly noticed that no one was doing as she asked. She gave them a few weeks then she cured them in staying in the office. She had Shelly make sure that no one had any clients scheduled during lunch then on that faithful Monday morning, at twelve sharp; she got up and went to the outer office. There she got a fog horn and turned it on. Everyone came from their offices to see what the hell was going on. There they saw Molly standing in the center of the room with the fog horn blaring. They tried to get her to turn it off but she just stood there. As soon as everyone was in the office, Shelly got out a new sign that said "Closed for Lunch", she went to the front door and placed the sign on the door and she walked out. Once everyone else figured out that Molly was going to keep blowing her horn, they quickly left the office. At that point, Molly smiled to herself and she turned off the horn. Then she removed the earplugs that she had bought when she got the fog horn. Tuesday, Molly played the scene out again and this time, it didn't take long for everyone to get out of the office. Wednesday, when Molly went to the center of the office, she found that she was the only one there. She had made her point. She then went back to her office and had a quite lunch and got some work done. Molly went to her office and pulled off her shoes. She went to the kitchen and got a coke and a salad that she had made. She took it to her office and ate quietly. She glanced out the window and she noticed that Cindy was walking down the street. A few minutes later, just as she was getting ready to get back to work, she saw Cindy walking past the office. She watched her for a moment, then went to work. "Do as I say and not as I do, I see." Molly jumped and looked up to see a smiling Cindy standing in her doorway. "You scared the shit out of me. What is this scare Molly week?" Molly said but she was smiling. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just saw you sitting here alone and thought about asking you if you wanted to get out and walk around the block. It is a pretty day out there. Maybe I shouldn't have, I was just wondering... Never mind, it is just seems like you need a break too." Cindy said and Molly could see that maybe Cindy was feeling a little out of place. This was her first day and everyone had places to go and she had no car to go anywhere. "Well, maybe a walk will do me some good." Molly said and she saw Cindy's face light up and that made her feel good. Molly then put her shoes back on and she walked with Cindy out the door. The air was nice, she noticed, as she started down the walk with Cindy to her right side. She wasn't sure what she was going to say to this young girl but Cindy solved the problem by asking a question about work and as soon as Molly had it answered, Cindy had another question coming at her. Soon the questions turned from work to more personal matters. These questions were something that Molly would not normally be comfortable answering, especially to someone that she had known for only a couple of hours but Cindy had a way of asking the questions that put her as ease. Cindy first asked her about law school and her family. Then Cindy got even more personal as she asked about her love life. Molly told her about marring her boyfriend from college but by the time she had finished law school they both knew that they were going in different directions so they got a friendly divorce. Then Molly surprised herself as she went into detail about her second husband and about catching him with his pants down. Then she told Cindy that she was through with men and that got her another of Cindy's smiles. By this time, the lunch hour was over and they both went back to work. "You ready?" Molly asked Cindy after everyone had left for the day and she was coming out of her office to where Cindy was patiently waiting for her. "Yes, but what am I ready for?" Cindy asked as she followed Molly out the door. Molly didn't say anything as she turned the alarm on and locked the door. She then led Cindy to her car which was a new BMW 5 series. "Catch," she said as she tossed her keys to Cindy. "What is this, a driving test?" Cindy asked. "Yep," Molly replied as she went to the passenger side of the car. She waited as Cindy figured out the key ring and pressed the button to unlock the door. Molly got in and watched every move the Cindy made as she adjusted the mirrors and the driver's seat as she was a couple of inches taller than Molly. "Do you really trust me to drive your new car?" Cindy asked as she buckled her seat belt. "You will have to earn my trust, I can't just give it to you." Molly replied as she buckled her seatbelt. "I plan on doing just that." Cindy said as she looked over at Molly. This comment impressed Molly but she noticed that sometimes Cindy seemed like a young girl she was but at other times, like now, she seemed much older and wiser than her years would indicate. Cindy then backed out of the parting spot, and carefully entered into traffic. "Where am I going?" Cindy asked. "My house, just go up Henry Street, and follow it to 25E. Go right there unto you get to Lakeway Drive. Take that for ten and half miles and then turn by the large oak tree. My house will be on the right, about a mile down that raod." Molly said giving Cindy the way to her house at once to see if she could remember the directions. Cindy was nonplussed as she said, "Okay, sit back and relax, we will be at your house soon." Molly sat back but she didn't relax, at least not at first. But as Cindy drove, she found that her foot that was pressed to the floor was no longer pressed so hard. By the time they were halfway home, her feet were laying on the floor of the car, completely relaxed. They didn't talk as they rode to Molly's house as Molly was busying watching Cindy drive and Cindy was busy driving, making sure that she made no mistakes what so ever. Cindy got them to Molly's home and Molly watched for her reaction. She knew that Cindy was expecting to see a large house but instead she saw a modest one story ranch style house. "Not quite what you were expecting to see is it?" Molly asked with a smile. "No, I mean you are a lawyer and you have three other lawyers working for you. You have to be loaded." Cindy said and then she covered her mouth with her hand. "Maybe I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry." "No, that's okay, I kind of set you up there but that is what I wanted to do. I was being a little mean. Come on in the house and I will show you around and explained everything to you." Molly said as she got out of the car. Molly guided Cindy to the door as she showed her the front lawn and her flowers that she admitted she had a yard service do all the work. Once inside, she gave a tour to Cindy of her house and while the outside looked like most every other house in the area, she did have most of the modern conveniences inside the house. She had a large guest bathroom with a walk in shower and a separate bathtub that was bigger than Cindy had ever seen. As she gave the tour, she also explained how everyone shared in what was earned by the firm. She got only a slightly larger share because she owned the firm. Shelly also got a share as she was a very important part of the firm and now that she was apart of the firm, then she would also share in what they all earned. Cindy said that was fine with her, she said that Shelly had explained some of that the first day she showed up there. She was cool with that arrangement as she trusted Molly to take care of her. "What you think?" Molly asked when she was finished with the tour. "It is beautiful, I can't believe just how beautiful it really is." Cindy said and Molly could tell that she was dreaming of living in a home like this one day. "Just wait; you haven't seen the best part yet." Molly said as she took Cindy by the hand and led her through the house to the living room where she opened the curtains to reveal sliding glass door. Molly stood in front of Cindy blocking her view. Molly slide the door open and she pulled Cindy out onto her deck. Molly then stepped aside and let Cindy come forward. Cindy gasped as she looked out over the lake. Molly's house sat up on a cliff and she had magnificent view of the lake below her. "Oh My God, that is beautiful." Cindy said as she squeezed Molly's hand and it was then that Molly realized that she had never let go of her hand. It had just felt natural to her that she didn't notice it but now she did notice it as Cindy was gripping it tight and wasn't letting go. "If I lived here, I would never leave this deck. I would sleep out here, it's so lovely." Cindy continued. "I know, that is very tempting but I do have a firm to keep up and employees that depend on me to make sure they have jobs so that they can feed their families." Molly said seriously. "I guess so, but still it would be hard to leave this place. You do have a beautiful home." "Thank you, now let me change clothes and we can be on our way. You are welcome to stay out here, I will be right back." Molly said as she eased her hand from Cindy's grip. Molly then went on to her bedroom but as she did so, she couldn't help to look at her hand that was only seconds ago holding Cindy's small soft hand. Molly was beginning to wonder if she was going crazy. She quickly changed into a pair of designer jeans and a tee shirt and then she put on her tennis shoes, all of which were name brand items. Once satisfied with her outfit, she went back to find Cindy who was right where she left her, standing on the deck, looking out over the lake. "You ready to go?" Molly said. "Sure, where are we going?" Cindy said as she took a last look at the lake and then followed Molly. "I am going to show you one more thing." "What?" Cindy asked as her voice went up a bit showing her excitement of everything she had been shown so far. "Just wait, you'll see." Molly said as she brought Cindy through the house and into the garage. "What do you think?" Molly said as she turned on the garage lights and Cindy saw a newer model Jeep and an older model Volvo. "About what?" Cindy said, not sure what Molly was asking her about. "Your company car is what." Molly said as she went to the Volvo. "You are the only employee at the firm to have a company car." "I don't know what to say. I know that I need a car but I can't use one of your cars. What if something happened to it, I could never forgive myself." Cindy said as she seemed to be stuck where she was standing, not coming any closer to the car. "Hey, you need a car and I need for you to have a car to do the job that I am hiring you for. Besides, I never drive the car and it needs to be driven." Molly said as she went to Cindy and took her hand forcing her to walk over to the car. Once she was there, she put the keys in Cindy's hand and she went to the passenger's side seat. She got in and waited for Cindy to finally decide to get in. "I'm glad that you finally decided to join me." Molly said with a smile. "Are you sure about this?" Cindy asked as she turned to Molly. "Yes I'm sure. Like I said, I never drive it any more and it likes to be driven. My father gave it to me when I went to college and he has taken care of it ever since. I wanted to trade it in but could never bring myself to do it. Besides my father loves to tinker on it and with it being driven again then he will get to do that. So you will be doing us both a favor." Molly said hoping to convince Cindy to take the car. "Now I know I can't drive this car." Cindy said as she started to get out of the car. "Just put the damn key in the ignition and start the damn car!" Molly said with forcefulness that few dared to ignore. Cindy looked at Molly and saw the look in her eyes and she put her seat belt on and started the car. "I guess this is another driving test?" Cindy said as she hit the button to open the garage door. "You guessed right." Molly said as she turned the frown on her face to a smile trying to put Cindy back at ease. Cindy backed the car out of the garage and they were on their way. "So where are we going now?" Cindy asked. "Your driving, go wherever you want to drive, I'm just along for the ride." Molly said as she sat back in the seat. She felt funny riding in the passenger seat as she had never let anyone drive her Volvo. But she felt comfortable letting this young girl drive her pride and joy. "I was afraid you would say that." Cindy said with a smile. "So tell me about your family while I figure out where I'm going to go." Cindy continued. "Okay, well my father is a retired auto mechanic and my mother still teaches kindergarten. She keeps saying that she is going to retire but I think she would miss the kids too much so they will have to make her retire. Molly then continued on talking about her childhood and how her parents were so proud of her when she went to law school." Cindy listened to every word as she drove and Molly felt like she could just talk all night but after getting the main points said, she turned the conversation toward Cindy and her family. "Well, let me see where to start. My father is a mechanic so we have that in common but my mother never worked. She has never been in the best of health but she does what she can. So most of our money goes to her doctor's bills and since my father never had any health insurance we were always hurting for money. We sort of live from month to month but that is okay, we have always been close so it really wasn't so bad. I wanted to get a job while I was in high school but since my grades were never that great mom and dad won't even think about it. But now I can and if they don't have to support me then they will have more money for themselves. That is why this job was so important to me." She then went on to talk about her parents and Molly could tell that she really loved them but also that she wanted move on. There was also something down below the surface that Molly sensed that Cindy wanted to talk about but was hesitant to do so. Molly wanted to press but she knew it wasn't the time. "I'm getting hungry, how about you?" Molly asked when Cindy had stopped talking. "Starving, but I didn't want to say anything." Cindy said. "You should have told me. Just pull into a burger place; I'm in the mood for something bad ." Molly said as she gave Cindy a wink. "Sounds good to me." Cindy said as she winked back. Cindy quickly found a fast food joint and started to pull into a parking spot. "No, go through the drive through, we can eat while we ride around." Molly instructed her. Cindy gave Molly a questioning look as she got in line. "I didn't think you were one to eat and drive." "I'm not but then I won't be driving, you will." Molly said. "I see another test. Will I ever get done with your tests?" Cindy asked. "I hope not, that will mean that you won't be working at my firm, I'm beginning to like to have you around." Molly said and then wanted to take it back. She didn't want Cindy to read more into that line than she intended but then again she wasn't sure what she intended. She then looked over at Cindy and saw it was too late; Cindy had a smile that went from ear to ear. Cindy ordered their food with both going for cheeseburgers, fries and shakes, chocolate for Molly and strawberry for Cindy. As Cindy drove on back to the highway, Molly separated the burgers and set Cindy up so that she could drive and eat. Molly watched Cindy eating for only a moment but then she felt her stomach growl at her and she forgot about Cindy's driving and began to devour her juicy cheeseburger and fries. "I hate to mention this but we are getting low on gas." Cindy interrupted Molly as she was talking about some of the cases that they were currently working on. Oh okay, just pull into the nearest station that takes a credit card." Molly told Cindy as she reached for her purse and began to dig around in it. "Ah, there it is." Molly said a minute later as Cindy pulled into a filling station. "Use this card to pay for the gas and then you can hold on to it to use for gas and stuff but only for business and always get a receipt. Remember that, always get a receipt. And I don't want to see a charge to Sandra's Dress Shop on the monthly bill." Molly said with a smile. "Oh didn't you hear Sandra just opened a Dress / Gas Station on the corner of Main and Alexandra Street." Cindy quipped back at Molly. Molly laughed and then she said "Good one, I will have to remember that. I'm going to visit the little girls room, be right back." Molly went on into the station and found the restrooms. She went in and was surprised to find that they were actually clean. She went to an open stall and pushed her designer jeans and panties down and sat down. As she released her bladder she thought about the girl she left outside filling up her car. For someone she had just met this morning, she was placing a lot of trust in her letting her use her car and giving her one of her credit cards. This wasn't something that she did, trust people. Even the people that worked for her, had to earn her trust over time but Cindy she just opened the doors wide open to her. Then she realized that she was just sitting on the toilet thinking long after her bladder was empty. She hurriedly wiped her pussy dry and then put her clothes back together. She left the stall and washed her hands then went to the door and started out only to run smack dab into Cindy. She felt Cindy's arms catch her. She looked up into those light blue eyes and she froze there. Molly's mind took in the feel of Cindy's body against her and the feel of Cindy's arms holding her tight. She allowed the feeling to go deep into her soul before her mind began to work again. "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." Molly said as she separated herself from Cindy's grasp. "No problem." Cindy said with that same knowing smile that she seemed to reserve just for her. Molly then stepped aside and went on out to the car. She started to get into the driver's seat before she realized that Cindy was the one doing the driving tonight. "I have got to get my mind back together!" She commanded to herself. Cindy was soon back behind the wheel and she again got them back on the road. As she drove, Molly settled back into her seat. She loved the feel of riding in a car. It reminded her of the times that she and her parents went on vacation during the summer. She always slept as they drove and before she knew what was happening her eyes began to close and she was asleep. She dreamed about going to the beach but instead of her parents driving, it was Cindy driving the car. "Wake up." Molly heard in the deep recesses of her mind and she felt someone shaking her. She woke up to find that they were parked in front of her house. "What time is it? How long have I been asleep?" Molly asked as she wiped her eyes. "It is about eleven." Cindy said as she smiled. "You have been driving around for three hours? Why didn't you wake me? I didn't mean to fall asleep on you but riding in cars always puts me to sleep." "Well not quite three hours, I drove for a little while after you feel asleep on me and then I drove us here." Cindy said. "And why didn't you wake me when you got us back here." Molly asked again. "You looked so peaceful sleeping there and I couldn't bring myself to wake you. So I just let you sleep, and I just watched you sleep. Your face looked so relaxed. But then it was getting late and I need to get home and get some sleep. I don't want to fall asleep on the second day of my new job. My boss might just fire me." "Well let me get into the house and let you go, as I don't want to have to fire you tomorrow for sleeping on the job." Molly said with a smile and then she put her hand on top of Cindy's hand and she squeezed it. Then realizing what she was doing, she quickly took her hand away. But Cindy had turned her hand over and she squeezed it before Molly could take it away. Molly arrived at work the next morning at seven and opened the door. She went and put on the coffee and as she waited for it to make, she went to the outer office and looked around. She thought about how everything seemed to fit together. It was as if the firm had been missing a piece of the puzzle but this morning she didn't have that feeling. Cindy completed the firm or did she complete something else. Molly then shuck her head as she figured that she was thinking to much so she went back to the coffee maker and she made a cup of coffee. She then went to her office and shut the door. A little while later she heard the door open and she heard Shelly talking to Cindy and she found that she was smiling. About ten she finished up a brief that she needed to get to the courthouse and she slipped her shoes on and grabbed her purse. She got to Shelly's desk and she started to tell her where she was going to be when she saw the chalk board on the wall behind Shelly's desk. There were already several things on the board and a couple of them had been marked off. She had to smile, she forgot all about Cindy as she worked on the brief. She looked out and saw that her Volvo was not in the parking lot. She knew that Cindy was already on the job, the job that she was hired to do and her associates were putting her to work. Molly put her purse on Shelly's desk and she went to the board. She put down what she needed done and when it had to be done by. She then put her brief into Cindy's in-box that Shelly had made for her. "It's going to be nice having her around, isn't it?" Shelly stated more than asked. "Yes it is, yes it is." Molly said as she went back to her office with a smile. When lunch time came around, Molly went to the kitchen to fix her something to eat and she found that she was looking around to see where Cindy was but she wasn't to be found. Molly was kind of disappointed not to see her. Molly went ahead and heated up the soup that she was having for lunch and went back to her office. She ate and looked out the window to see if she could see Cindy walking but again she didn't see her. She went back to her soup and her papers. "Want to go for a walk?" Cindy called from the door. "Shit!" Molly said as she about jumped out of her skin. "I need to put a sign on the door saying "It is not nice to scare the shit out of the boss." Molly said after she got her nerves under control. "Sorry... again." Cindy said with that ever present smile. "So do you want to go for a walk, it's another nice day out there." Molly waited for a moment to make it appear that she was thinking about whether she wanted to walk or not but she knew what her answer was going to be. She had made it a point to bring her tennis shoes with her this morning. "Yea, I guess I could use some fresh air." Molly said as she started to put her tennis shoes on. She then went to where Cindy was waiting for her at her door and they went on outside for their walk. This became a routine for Molly and Cindy for the next couple of weeks with the exception of Molly learning to listen for Cindy to quietly walk up to her door. Molly only missed one day and that was when she was held up in court but it was raining that day so it was just as well. Molly tired to figure out why she had developed such a friendship with Cindy who was nine years her junior and on the surface, she had nothing in common with her but she just enjoyed her company and the conversations that they had. Cindy while not book smart; she was very sharp and she had a quick wit which Molly could appreciate. On the fifteen of the month, they had their monthly meeting where they went over their cases for the month and also looked at the money they had brought in the previous month. Molly always had food brought in and make the meeting a very casual affair. When they all got settled in their seats, Molly noticed that Cindy was standing at the door and Molly could tell that she was unsure as to what to do, come on in or go home. "Well don't just stand there, get you something to eat and plop your butt into a seat so that we can get this show on the road." Molly told Cindy and she saw that a smile came over her face. But then Cindy ran back out the door and a moment later she reappeared with a legal pad in her hand. This pleased Molly as it showed that Cindy was going to be prepared for anything that might come up during the meeting that affected her. Cindy quickly got her some food and found a place at the conference table that was in the law library in the upstairs of the house that Molly had bought for her firm. Molly then started with Sam and he went over his cases that he had completed the previous mouth and also the ones that he was currently working on. They all discussed his cases and then it was Wanda turn and after her Robert presented his cases. As this went on, Molly noted that Cindy was furiously taking notes. She was going to have to ask Cindy about why she was doing this, not that she minded as they all were taking notes. Molly then went over her cases and asked for everyone opinions. Once that was completed they all took a bathroom break and reassembled in the conference room. "Cindy, would you mind stepping outside for a moment?" Molly asked. "Sure..." Cindy said and then Molly saw a worried look on her face. "Yes we are going to talk about you but in a good way. We are about to divide up the money brought in last month and we haven't discussed your pay. We need to do that and I want everyone to feel free to say what they think." Molly said and she gave Cindy what she hoped was her most reassuring smile. She saw that Cindy was relieved and she stepped out of the conference room. "Okay, now comes the hard part. There are two things that we need to discuss. First, Cindy only worked a couple of days last month, so does she get her full percentage for the month. Then secondly, just what should her percentage be. This will come out of all of our percentages in case you haven't figured that out yet." Cindy said and this brought a laugh from everyone. "Well I don't know how everyone else feels but I have worked her ass off these past three weeks and I believe that has helped me to pick up another case or two with the time she has freed up for me. So I think she should get a full check for last month. And everyone knows that I'm the tightest son of a bitch around but I do want to make sure we pay her enough to keep her here." Sam said and everyone laughed at the tightest son of a bitch remark. He was tight but Molly as well as everyone else knew he was also the first one to offer Cindy some money to hold her over until she could get paid. They all had done this but Cindy refused all of their offers, saying she was fine until payday. Wanda, Shelly and Robert all agreed that Cindy should get her full shared for the previous month. She was an asset to the firm and they all wanted to keep her and they all thought that she was more than earning her pay. Once that was settled, they got down to the percentage that Cindy was to receive. As it stood now Molly got 28 percent of the share while Sam, Robert and Wanda received twenty two and a third percent and this left Shelly with five percent. They all discussed various percentages and Shelly gave them Cindy's take home for an average month. They finally settled that Molly, Sam, Wanda, and Robert would give up a quarter percent and while that did not seem like much, with the money they were bringing in, Cindy would be making about three times what most people just starting their first job. Plus this way they could always go back and raise her percentage later on. Shelly wanted to give up some of her pay too but the rest would not let her do that. Once that was settled, Shelly got up and invited Cindy back into the room. Molly them explained the percentages to Cindy who sat and listened carefully but didn't say anything but Molly knew that Cindy would not understand the percentages until she heard what the percentages meant in real dollars. Shelly then went over the income that they brought in for the month of May and Molly watched Cindy's eyes light up as the numbers were spelled out. There was also a rainy day fund that each lawyer put a small part of their cut into. This Molly explained to Cindy would keep them afloat if they should have a bad month or two. Cindy and Shelly didn't have to contribute to this since they made the least but they would get their share if it was needed. And if a lawyer should want to leave the firm then he or she would get their share of the rainy day fund. Finally they got to the pay that they would actually take home that month. Shelly would normally have this worked out but since she didn't know what Cindy's percentage would be, she had to do some last minute figuring. Everyone took another break so that she could work. This was Shelly's most important job and they all wanted her to take her time. When they got back into the room, Shelly handed each a slip of paper with their pay for the month of May. Molly glanced at her slip but she kept her eyes on Cindy and she saw her eyes grow wide when she saw it. Then she saw a tear come to her eyes. Cindy then stood up. "I want to thank you for this, but I don't think I deserve this much. I only worked a couple of days in May and even if I worked the whole month, then I still don't think I have earned this much." Cindy said and then she cried as she looked at the slip of paper. Molly started to get up to go to her but big Mama beat her to Cindy. Big Mama wrapped her big arms around Cindy and told her that she had more than earned her money. Molly saw Cindy start to smile as she tried to wrap her arms around Big Mama. When Big Mama let her go, Cindy went to everyone else giving them a hug. But she saved Molly for last and when she hugged her, Molly felt Cindy hug her tight and she held her a little longer than everyone else. Molly couldn't help herself but to hug Cindy back and she hated for the hug to end. Then as Cindy stepped back, Cindy whispered to her "Thank you for being my boss and for being my friend." "Your welcome and I enjoy having you as a friend too." Molly whispered back to her. Everyone talked for a few minutes before the meeting began to break up. Molly then ushered everyone out the door as she said that she would clean up. They all had families to go home to and she didn't. They all offered to help her but like always she refused their help and made everyone including Cindy go. Molly got to work but for the first time, she kind of wished that someone had stayed but she knew she was the one who made them go. It was only a moment later that she heard someone coming up the steps and she froze. She wondered if someone had forgotten to lock the front door. She started to look around for something to use as a weapon but she couldn't see anything. Her heart was pounding in her chest and her knees began to shake. "It's me Cindy!" Molly heard Cindy call from the steps and she felt a great relief and she also had to smile as Cindy was the one she really wanted to stay over and help her. "Cindy who?" Molly called out as she tried not to laugh." "The Cindy who works for you," Cindy said with a frustrated voice. "Oh that Cindy," Molly said as she saw Cindy walk into the room. "How many Cindy's do you know anyway?" Cindy asked. "Ah, just you." Molly said with a smile. "Then why did you ask, silly." Cindy said smiling as she realized that Molly was pulling her leg. "So what are you doing back here anyway? I thought I told you to go home." "You did but I got a little ways down the road and turned back and I don't care what you say, I am going to help you clean up." Cindy said. "What if I say no and tell you to go home. I am your boss, you know." Molly said not really wanting Cindy to go. "I would say that after the meeting ended, you stopped being my boss and I can do as I please." Cindy said as she put her hands on her hips. "I see, well if you are going to be such a pain about it, then get to work." Molly said as she threw the wet cloth she was holding at Molly. Molly was a second slow on catching the wet rag and it hit her in the face. "I owe you one for that." Molly said as she bent to pick up the rag. Molly put her hand to her mouth as she tried not to laugh but it got the better of her and she broke out laughing. "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hit you." "I bet." Cindy said but she was laughing with Molly. They then began to clean and put up the left over food as that would be what they all ate the next day. As that was when Shelly would hand out the checks and they would enjoy a second meal together. As they worked, Molly also talked to Cindy about getting set up to pay her taxes as they weren't taken out of her check. She said that Shelly had already told her about that and that Shelly had set her up an appointment with the tax attorney for the next afternoon. Molly warned her that the man was a pain to deal with as he always complained at the amount of work he had to do but to ignore that as he was only happy when he had something to complain about. This brought a snicker from Cindy. Then continued to talk until they were about done then she asked a question that would forever change her life. "So what are you going to do with your first paycheck?" Molly asked Cindy. "Save most of it but I thought I might go Saturday to buy some new outfits. In case you didn't notice, I have been wearing the same outfits every week." Cindy said. "Well, I did notice but that is okay, not everyone is a clothes horse like I am. I have closets full of clothes and still I buy more." Molly said. "You do have beautiful outfits. Maybe we could..." Cindy started to say then stopped herself. "Maybe we could what?" Molly asked. "Maybe we could go shopping together Saturday. But I know you won't want to go with me, forget that I asked." Cindy said but Molly could see that Cindy really wanted her to go. "I would love to go with you." Molly said and then she saw a blur as Cindy rushed to and she was being hugged. She put her arms around Cindy and hugged her back and she felt that strange feeling again and she wondered just what she had gotten herself into. "We are going to have a great time, I know we will." Cindy said as she let Molly go. "I know that we will too." Molly said. At the appointed hour on Saturday morning, Molly was looking out her kitchen and she saw Cindy pulling into her driveway in her Volvo. Molly felt a sense of wellbeing wash over her as she saw Cindy start to get out of the car. She had spent her weekends alone for the past four years since her divorce and while it was nice and she enjoyed the time alone, having Cindy there to do something with, she felt the loneliness that she didn't know she had been feeling leave her. Molly then awoke from her thoughts as she heard her doorbell ring. She grabbed her purse off the table and as she went past the mirror in the living room, she took a last look at her hair and makeup and then she answered the door. "Are you ready to blow all of your paycheck today?" Molly asked as she opened the door. "Well at least a part of it." Cindy said laughing. "Then lets get this show on the road, girl." Molly said as she sped past Cindy and headed toward the car. Cindy stood there a second and then hurried to catch up with her. "Where do you want to go first?" Molly asked as Cindy was getting into the car. "Anywhere you want to go, you know more good places to go, I am sure. But there is a place I do want to take you to but we will go there last." Cindy replied. "I do have a few places that I love to go to and they have beautiful clothes. I think you'll love this first place." Molly said and then she told Cindy how to get to the downtown shop. When they entered the upscale shop, two sales clerks sped toward Molly trying to get to her first. Molly was used to this treatment as she had spent a ton of money here and the salesgirls worked on a commission. Molly went to her favorite clerk and she started to talk to her, having momentarily forgotten Cindy. But then she remembered her and she started to look around. She excused herself from the clerk and started to look. As she went around a rack of dresses, she spied Cindy looking at some pant suits. She started to call to her when she saw Cindy reach for the piece tag. She watched as Cindy's eyes went wide and she dropped the price tag as if it was a red hot coal that had burnt her fingers. Molly stepped back as she thought about the shop that she had brought Cindy to. She realized that the least she had ever spent here was a little over a thousand dollars and that only got her three or four outfits. She then thought about Cindy's paycheck and while it was more than enough for a girl her age, it was not enough to be shopping in a place like this. Molly realized that she had really screwed up. She was so excited about having someone to shop with, she had forgotten that not everyone was as well off as she was. Now she had to find a way out without making Cindy feel bad or trying to buy something she really couldn't afford to just because of her. It didn't take her long to figure out a way out of the mess that she had gotten herself into. It would mean that she might insult a few of the salesclerks but then with the money she spent they would have quickly forgotten about whatever she was about to say. "Oh there you are I have been looking for you." Molly said as she came around to clothes rack she was hiding behind. "I don't know about you but these prices are ridiculous. I can't believe what they charge for this stuff. I'm ready to go to another place if you are." "Yea, but only if you are." Cindy said but Molly could see the relief in her face. "I'm more than ready; let's go to that place that you talked about." Molly said as she took Cindy by the arm and started to escort her out of the store. Molly could feel more than a few sets of eyes boring into her back but she didn't care. Molly was more important to her than any of the clerk's feelings. "We can go to another of the places that you shop if you like." Cindy told Molly once they were outside. "No, I want to go to the place you talked about. I really do." Molly assured Cindy and she saw Cindy's eyes light up and that pleased her. Cindy drove them across town and talked all the way about how big this place was and how many different types of women's clothes that they had. And they had a size to fit everyone from the slimmest women to the heaviest one. They also have a line of clothes that were made by a company in South Carolina. They weaved their own cloth and then made it into women's outfits. Cindy said that she always tried to find their stuff as it was quality made clothes and the price wasn't bad either. Molly wondered why she had never heard of this place but then again she always stuck to the high end shops. When Cindy pulled into the parking lot, Molly saw that it was crowded already and they had to park far away from the store, which was huge, like a big discount store which was what this was, except it only sold women's clothing. "I hope you like this place but be prepared, it will be pack with women looking for the prefect outfit and you know how women can be when they are doing that." Cindy said with a laugh. She took Molly by the hand and Molly felt herself being pulled/dragged toward the store. She also began to feel the excitement that Cindy was feeling. When they entered the store, all Molly could see were racks after racks of clothes and lots of women and girls going through everything. Cindy still had her hand so she didn't have much choice but to follow her. Cindy took her to the center of the store where the more dressy clothes were. Cindy finally let go of her hand as she began to look at some pants suits. Molly went to some of the dresses and she first looked at the quality of the sewing and the material and found that it really was pretty good stuff. She couldn't help herself as she looked at the price and she was just as shocked as Cindy was when she looked at the price tag in the other shop. Except for her it was because of how cheap the clothes were. Molly went over to where Cindy was and she could see that she already had a couple of pant suits to try on and she was looking at some long skirts. Molly went through the skirts with Cindy and she found a couple of skirts that she liked. She had always wanted to get a long skirt but she hadn't found one that she liked until now, but still she found herself putting it back. "What are you too good to wear these clothes, just because they didn't come from a fancy shop, doesn't mean that they aren't worth wearing?" Cindy told her and Molly could see that Cindy was very serious. Molly knew that Cindy didn't really buy her act at the other store. She also knew that she was being put to the test and this wasn't a test that she wanted to fail. "No, I'm not too good to wear these clothes." Molly said just as serious as she pulled the skirts back off the rack. "Good then lets find you a blouse to wear with those skirts." Cindy said as she took Molly's hand again and led her over to where the blouses were hanging. Cindy made her hold up on of the skirts to her waist as she went from one blouse to another until she found one she liked. Then she repeated the process for the other skirt. Once she was satisfied with the outfits, she picked up a couple of blouses for herself and they went back to where the skirts were. Cindy went through a bunch picking out a few for herself and then she also picked out a couple more for Molly. "Now let's go try all these clothes on." Cindy told Molly as she led her to the center of the store where there were a mass of dressing rooms. They had wait for a few minutes in line before a room opened up. Again, Cindy took her by the hand and started for the open dressing room. "The sign says only two outfits and one person per room." Molly said as she realized that Cindy was dragging her into the dressing room with her. "If we do it that way, we will never get through. Now come on and let me see what you look like in these clothes." Cindy said as she closed the door behind them. The room was not very big but they had room enough for them both to stand and move about but not much more than that. Molly could feel a quiver in her stomach at the thought of undressing in front of Cindy and also seeing her undress. For the first time in a long time, Molly wasn't sure as to what she should do. She looked at Cindy and saw that she was already pulling her top off. She wanted to avert her eyes but something inside her made her watch as Cindy pulled her top over her head revealing her cotton bra. It was nothing fancy or revealing but Molly could see the shape and size of Cindy's breasts. Cindy then unsnapped her jeans and unzipped them. She pushed her jeans down and Molly watched as Cindy white cotton hip hugger panties came into view. Again they were plain and nothing fancy or revealing but Molly could see the shape of her mound and she could see a few brown hairs peaking from the sides. When Cindy got her jeans off, she straightened up and let Molly look at her. She didn't do anything suggestive but just stood there and let her look and that is what Molly did. She could feel her nipples tighten and she felt the beginnings of moisture begin to form in her pussy. This hadn't happen in a very long time and it had never happened as she looked at another women. She felt like she was frozen in place and it was only when Cindy said "Well you can't try on any clothes on if you don't take what you are wearing off first." Molly wanted to say "Sorry" for staring but she didn't want to bring attention to what she had been doing. But her mind was not working clearly and it couldn't have been any more obvious as to what she was doing. Molly started to turn to undress but she felt like it would be better to be nonchalant and undress like Cindy did. She began to unbutton her blouse but she realized that her fingers were a little shaky. She took a deep breath then went back to unbuttoning her blouse. When she got to the last button, she pulled the blouse from her jeans and she started to slip the blouse off her shoulders. That is when she looked down to see the bra that she was wearing. That morning as she was getting dressed she was feeling a little sexy for some reason so she put on a matching set of a black sheer undies. She could plainly see her nipples through the thin material and she could also see that they were hard. It was too late to turn around now so she took off the blouse and she saw that Cindy's eyes were glued to her erect nipples. She hung up her blouse and then her hands went to her designer jeans. She unsnapped and unzipped them. She pushed the tight jeans down over her hips and she had to work to keep from pushing her panties down with her jeans but as thin as they were, it would not make that much difference. She pushed them on off her hips and she could see the thin strip of red hair above her pussy with the rest of her pussy shaved clean. She slipped her shoes off and then slipped her jeans off. She straightened up and she let Cindy look at her. She could see that Cindy was mesmerized by her body and that made her feel good. Even thought she was thirty six, her body was still in great shape with her breasts barely sagging and her butt firm. This made Molly feel good and it also made her pussy leak a little more and her nipples harden a little more. Molly then realized what was happening and she knew that she had to stop it now before something happen that she would regret later. "Well let's see what these clothes look on us." Molly said and that brought Cindy from her trance. They both put on their first outfit and then turned around to let the other one see what they looked liked. They continued to do this until all the clothes that they had brought into the dressing room had been tried. But the whole time that they were in the dressing room Molly kept glancing at Molly when she removed her clothes and she noticed that Cindy was doing the same thing. She tried hard not to look but there was something inside of her that made her. It was something that she couldn't control and that she didn't like. She was one that was always in control of what happened around her but anytime she was with Cindy, she felt completely out of control of what was happening. But finally they were through and they gathered their clothes, Cindy carrying the clothes that they were going to buy and Molly the ones that they were putting back on the rack. Molly was hoping that they were through but as soon as they put back to clothes that they weren't buying, Cindy started to shop again. One part of Molly was disappointed but another part of her kept glancing at the dressing room knowing that they would soon be back there. Molly quickly got back in the mode of shopping and she had to admit that the store was growing on her, especially when she found her designer jeans at the quarter of the price that she paid for the ones she was wearing. They picked out a number of outfits and got back in line for the dressing room. They talked to the women around them as they waited and compared the outfits that they had. One woman had a skirt that Cindy loved and she told her where she found it so Cindy promptly dumped the clothes she was carrying into Molly's arms and she took off leaving Molly carrying them all. The woman they were talking to laughed and she offered her daughter's help in holding the clothes until Cindy got back. The girl looked about eight and was looking a little bored with all the shopping that her mother was doing. So Molly added a little incentive and the girl's eyes lit up. The mother refused and the girl frowned but then Molly put her lawyer skills to work and soon she convinced the little girl's mother to let her accept the money she offered. Cindy got back just as a dressing room was opening up. Molly gave the room to the girl's mother and the girl, who said her name was Mia, stayed with Molly and Cindy. Soon another room opened up and Cindy and Molly took the clothes from Mia and they went into the room. This time, Molly didn't take her time in undressing and of course, Cindy wasn't shy. Molly again felt her eyes drawn to Cindy's body as she undressed. She also noticed that Cindy was doing her share of looking. Molly knew by the end of the day she was going to have to change her panties but she also noticed that when Cindy bent over showing Molly her cute little rump that there was a telltale sign that Cindy was a little wet too. They tried on their clothes and again picked what they liked and disliked. When they came out, Mia was eagerly waiting on them and she took the clothes that Molly gave to her. She was talking a mile a minute to her two new grown up friends. Molly also noticed that Mia's mother was keeping a close eye on her and that was good. They shopped till mid afternoon when their legs gave out and Mia had to leave them. Molly got into her purse and pulled out a twenty and gave to Mia who went to her mother showing off the money she had earned. When they got to the checkout Cindy started to separate the clothes but by then they both had forgotten who had picked out what. "Why don't we put it all on my credit card?" Molly suggested. "No, I'm not letting you pay for my clothes." Cindy said. "Oh, I don't plan on doing that missy. When we get back to my place, we are going to divide up what we have bought and then you, my young friend, are going to write me a check from your new checking account. That way I will be the first person you write a check to." Molly said with a smile. "Cool, I can live with that." Cindy said. They plied all their clothes on the counter and the clerk began to ring them up. The bill came to $563.48. Molly thought to herself that she had paid that much for one outfit from the stores where she normally shopped. Now she was paying that much for a number of outfits for both herself and Cindy, who was smiling as she began to gather the bags of clothes. When Cindy got them back to Molly's house, they gathered their things and then headed into the house. There they dumped the clothes into the living room and headed to the kitchen. They were both starved to death from a day's worth of shopping and neither wanted to stop to eat on the way home. Cindy instead offered to make them both hamburgers that she assured Molly would be the best that she had eaten. Molly, being no fool, quickly took her up on the offer. So they stopped at a grocery store on the way home and Cindy went in to get the ingredients that she needed. Molly pulled out a couple of pans as Cindy made the ground beef into patties adding the special spices that her mother had taught her to use. Cindy made their hamburgers as Molly got out the condiments and chips. As Molly took the first bite of her hamburger, her mouth exploded with juices and spices that she felt herself moaning. "God Damn girl, I think I screwed up hiring you as a Go-fer." Molly said with her mouth still full of her hamburger. Then she saw that Cindy was looking concerned until she added, "I should have hired you as a cook. This is the best hamburger I have ever eaten." Molly then saw Cindy's face light up and the she blushed a bit. "What is in this anyway?" Molly asked as she swallowed. "It's my mama's secret and I will never tell." Cindy said all proud of herself. "Well then, you will have to promise me that you will cook for me again sometime." "I think that I can arrange for that to happen." Cindy said with her face beaming from the joy she was feeling. It was then that Cindy finally took her first bite satisfied that Molly was pleased with her cooking. They went back to living room once the hamburgers were eaten and the dishes done. They both collapsed in chairs and let their food settle before they got up to divide out the clothes. They had separated everything out and Molly was more than a little surprised to find that she had bought just as many clothes as Cindy did. The fact that Cindy had put her on the spot by saying that she was too good to wear discount clothes, didn't help any either. But now she realized that she was stupid to pay so much when she could pay a quarter the price and get just as good stuff. And if the truth be known, the clothes were probably made in the same place. But then Molly noticed that Cindy was searching around in the clothes that she had bought. "What is wrong, Honey?" Molly asked. "I didn't get a blouse for this skirt. This is the one I wanted to wear Monday too. I meant to go back and find one and I forgot. Shit that pisses me off. I can't believe that I forgot to get a blouse and I don't have anything at home to go with it." "Well, we can go back tomorrow. It is not big deal... Wait a minute; hold that skirt back up to your waist." Molly instructed Cindy who did as she was told. Molly studied it for a moment then she smiled, "Hold it right there and don't move a muscle." She said as she jumped up and headed to the back of her house. She went to her guest room and on into the walk-in closet. She started to go through her blouses before she found the one she was thinking of and then she saw a second and third blouse that she thought would work. She took them down and hurried back into the living room where Cindy was waiting with a confused look on her face. "Put the skirt on, and then try these blouses. I think they will work just fine with that skirt." Molly said as she watched one final time as Cindy took off her top and pushed her jeans down. She saw Cindy in her bra and panties and she felt a need to shift a little in her seat. She sat there looking at Cindy who was taking her sweet time in putting the skirt and the first blouse on. Molly couldn't believe that she was getting turned on by another woman but after watching Cindy undress and dress all day and finding her panties getting wet each time; there was no doubt about what was happening to her. This was so far from what she thought that she would feel. She had never felt turned on by another woman before in her life but it was happening to her now. "This is perfect; will you sell it to me?" Cindy asked. "No but I will give it to you." Molly said and she was surprised to see Cindy frown. "No deal then." Cindy said as she started to take the blouse off. "Hey, wait a minute. That blouse is too big for me. I bought it right after my second divorce when I had gained a little weight." Molly said. "Still no deal, I will buy it off of you or you can keep it. I'm finally earning my own keep and I don't want to take anything from anyone. Do you understand?" Cindy said. "Yes, I do. Okay we will work something out. Now try on the other two blouses and see what you think of them." Molly said and she saw Cindy smile again as she took off that blouse and tried the second and third one and all looked great with the skirt. "I love them now how much did you pay for these?" Cindy asked. "That is immaterial and I'm not going to tell you. What we will do is decide what they are worth to you and to me. And as far as I am concerned, they aren't worth anything since I can't wear them anymore. You need them but you could easily go back to the store tomorrow and get something similar. So let's say that they are on a three for on sale and it that is twenty bucks." Molly said. "Deal," Cindy said as she couldn't find a flaw in Molly's thinking. Molly didn't bother to tell Cindy just what a deal she was giving her. She had paid more than sixty dollars apiece for those blouses. Cindy stayed in the last blouse and the skirt that she had bought as Molly added up the costs of the clothes that Cindy had bought and added the twenty for the blouses. Cindy then sat down and wrote out her first check. It was a hefty sum but still considering all that she had bought, she wasn't paying much. "I guess I have better be going." Cindy said as she handed Molly her check. "Do you have to go so soon, it is still early?" Molly found herself saying and she really didn't want Cindy to leave just yet. "No, I could stay a while longer, what do you want to do?" Cindy said as her face lit up. "I'm sure it has cooled off outside by now, lets get something to drink and sit out on the swing." "Cool, I will fix us something, you go on out." Cindy said as she headed to the kitchen leaving Molly sitting there. She started to call out to Cindy to tell her where everything was but deicide to let her figure it out. She went on out to the deck and wandered over to the swing. She looked at it for a moment and the she realized that it was much smaller than she realized; she had always sat on it by herself and it had plenty of room but with Cindy there with her they would be sitting much closer together. But the die was cast so she sat down and waited on Cindy. "Here are our drinks." Cindy said as she carried out a tray with two glasses and a pitcher of what appeared to be strawberry daiquiris. "I see you found the rum." Molly said not so sure that she should be allowing Cindy to drink. Cindy was just a few days shy of her eighteen birthday and even if she was eighteen, she would still be three years away from legal drinking age. "Nope, I didn't look for any alcohol." Cindy said. Molly gave her a look to say "Then how can they be any good without the rum." But she didn't say that. "Just taste it, if you don't like it you can spice it up with some rum." Cindy said daring her once again and unlike herself, she took up the challenge. Molly watched as Cindy put the tray down on the table by the swing. She then took the pitcher and poured out about a quarter glass full of the daiquiri and she gave it to her. Molly put the glass to her lips and slowly took a sip. She let it sit in her mouth and she got the full favor of the strawberries and she thought she could just taste a hint of rum but as she swallowed, she knew there was no rum in the drink. "Well," Cindy said anxiously. "It is good. How did you make it or is it another of your mother's secret receipts?" Molly asked as she put her glass out for Cindy to fill it up. "Actually it is my father's and god forbid if my mother finds out that pop taught me how to make them for him." Cindy said with a laugh. She then filled her own glass and then she sat back on the swing. They sat back and slowly swung on the swing and they sipped their drinks. The air began to cool and the late afternoon sun felt good on their bodies. They talked for a while and then were silent as they watched the sun go down over the lake. Molly could feel Cindy's shoulder as it pressed against her own shoulder. It all felt so nice and she felt so comfortable with Cindy there. She felt like she wasn't alone anymore. She slowly leaned back against Cindy and it wasn't long before she felt Cindy's head on her shoulder. They sat that way until the sun had long since set in the west. Molly noticed that Cindy's had moved her hand to her thigh and Molly had a sudden urge to place her hand on top of it, to hold Cindy's hand. Just as she was about to do this; her brain began to work again and she quickly folded her hands in her lap. Molly knew the situation was about to go spiraling out of her control. She decided that the night hand come to an end so she did the only thing she could think to do. She began to yawn. "Are you tired?" Cindy asked and Molly could hear the disappointment in her voice. "Yea, I think you wore me out shopping today." Molly said as she really did begin to feel tired. "It's getting late, I should be heading home." Cindy finally said as she started to get up. Molly got up and walked with her to the couch where all of Cindy's and her clothes were laying. Molly took some of the new outfits and Cindy grabbed the rest. They walked quietly to Cindy's car. Molly began to wish that she hadn't feigned tiredness but she couldn't take it back now. She had enjoyed the day and was suddenly sad to see it ending. When they got to the car, she put the clothes that she was holding into the passenger seat and then she stood there as Cindy put the clothes she had in the car. Then Cindy stood before her and Molly found that she was staring into Cindy's beautiful eyes. "I had fun today." Cindy said quietly. "I did too, girl." Molly said as she reached up and ruffled Cindy's hair. Then Molly watched as Cindy stepped toward her and she saw her opening her arms. Molly felt Cindy wrap her arms around her body and she could feel Cindy's body being pressed against her. Molly wasn't sure what to do at first but then she found that she was returning the hug. The hug went on and she felt Cindy's head on her shoulder and she laid her head on Cindy's shoulder. Molly knew the hug was going on much too long but at the same time she didn't want to be the one to end it. It had been so long since she had been held and the feel of Cindy's soft body against her was bringing back feelings that she had thought were long dead. But the feelings were for another woman and that did bother her but not enough for her to stop the hug. They stayed that was for awhile longer but then she felt Cindy pulling away. Molly didn't want to let go but she did. But Cindy didn't pull completely away. She left her hands on Molly's hips and Molly found that Cindy was staring into her eyes and she was staring back. She recognized the look in Cindy's eyes and Molly knew what Cindy was going to do next. Molly knew the smart thing to do was to pull back and stop this before anything happened. But Molly just could not bring herself to stop her and as Cindy closed her eyes, Molly closed her own eyes. Molly could sense Cindy's head approaching her face. She felt Cindy's warm breath just before she felt Cindy's lips touch hers. The kiss was tentative and short but it still left Molly breathless. Molly opened her eyes and she could see that Cindy was staring at her trying to find what reaction she was going to get. Molly stood there trying to decide just what her reaction was. Her mind was a mass of confusion. She knew she felt something for the young girl facing her but she also knew that she shouldn't be feeling these things. She then saw Cindy closing her eyes and then she felt Cindy's lips on hers. The kiss was again tentative and Molly kept still, willing herself not to give into the kiss. But as Cindy's kept her lips pressed against her lips, Molly found her will breaking. Molly brought her hand up and she put it to the back of Cindy's neck and she slowly opened her lips. She felt Cindy opening her lips and the kiss became more passionate. Molly knew that Cindy had started the kiss but she was in full control now. She tilted her head a bit more and she held Cindy's head in place as the kiss became more intense. Her free hand was caressing Cindy's back and she could hear Cindy moan softly. Molly introduced her tongue into Cindy's mouth and she found that her tongue was met by Cindy's tongue. Their tongues danced in Cindy's mouth for a moment then Molly withdrew her tongue. Molly released Cindy's head and she stepped back. They stood there in silence for a moment then Cindy leaned back in and gave her a quick kiss. She then ran to the drivers side of the car and she gave Molly a sweet smile before she jumped into her car and sped off, leaving Molly standing there wondering what she had just done. The light from her front porch spotlighted her as she watched Cindy's taillights disappear. Molly couldn't believe that she had just kissed another woman and even worse an employee of hers. She knew that Cindy had started the kiss but there was no doubt as to who finished it. She stood there for a few minutes before she could move her feet and she walked inside her house. She tried to use the logic that was the core of her mind but at the moment logic was failing her. She looked at the new clothes that she had bought and that brought back the day that she had spend with Cindy and how much she enjoyed it. She turned from there and went out to the porch hoping the cool night air would clear her head but then she saw the swing and she remembered sitting there with Cindy. It seemed that everything was reminding her of Cindy. So she went to her bathroom and stripped her clothes off, leaving them in the floor and she turned on the shower. As the water warmed up she looked at herself in the mirror and she could see that her lipstick was slightly smeared and she put her finger to her lips and she could feel where Cindy's lips had just been. She then felt the tears come to her eyes and she started to cry. All the loneliness that she had felt during the last years of her second marriage and the few years since came over her. She knew that Cindy had began to ease those feelings but Cindy was someone she couldn't be with, there was just no way. The tears came hard and she soon found that she was sitting in the floor sobbing. It was like the road that offered her sweet peace was the road she couldn't take. As the tears slowly began to end, she got up and walked into the shower and found that the water had turned cold but she didn't care. The cold water stung her skin but it seemed to clear her mind for the moment and she knew what she had to do, and she was going to do it no matter how much it hurt, it was the only thing that she could do. From the shower, she went to her bedroom and put her pillows up against the headboard of the bed. She got her laptop out and some files that she had brought home. She worked on them until she couldn't keep her eyes open any more. She closed up her laptop and turn off the lamp by her bed. She settled down and quickly fell asleep as she always did. But it wasn't a restful sleep. She tossed and turned all night and when she woke early the next morning, she felt like she hadn't slept at all. She looked down at her feet and found that they were tangled in the sheets. "Fuck!" Molly said as she tried to kick the sheets away. She woke up feeling sad and it only took her a moment to know why. She had a great day with Cindy yesterday and tomorrow she was going to do something to break that little girl's heart and she knew that her own heart would be broken at the same time. But she had enough going on in her life and experimenting with lesbianism was best left to young girls and when they are in college. It wasn't for a thirty six year old woman with a law firm to manage. She just didn't need that complication, besides she wasn't attracted to women, she told herself over and over. But she couldn't help to wonder if she wasn't attracted to women, why did Cindy have such an impact on her yesterday. That was the question that kept coming back to her and one that she didn't have a good answer for. She got up and went to the bathroom, then on to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. She sat at the kitchen table trying to figure out what to with her day. Her mind kept going back to the time that she had spent with Cindy, the shopping, the walks and the times she stayed after work to just talk. Molly knew if she stayed in the house all day she would go crazy so she got up and got dressed. She then headed toward the office. She never worked on Sundays but today was going to be the exception that made the rule. Once there, she buried herself in work. She worked until her eyes were crossed from reading and writing. It was only then that she realized that she hadn't eaten a bite all day long and her stomach was telling her about it. She packed up her things and headed out but as she was turning out the lights and activating the alarm system, she looked down at the chair that she first saw Cindy sitting in and it made her want to cry. She quickly shut the door and went on out. That night she didn't sleep any better than she did Saturday night. She woke up with the sheets again tangled up in her feet. "Fuck!" Molly cried out as she kicked her feet free once again. Molly got up and started what she knew would be the worse day of her life, ever worse than catching her second husband fucking that intern as she was bent over his desk. She got to the firm early day and started the coffee. Once it was done, she headed to her office and closed her door. She heard everyone come in and she felt a chill go up her back when she heard Cindy's voice for the first time that morning. Molly tried to drown out the voices from outside of her office and concentrate on the briefs that she was working on. A little after ten, she closed the file that she was working on and reached for the next one and then she saw that there was no next one. For the first time in her law career, she was actually caught up. With the work she had done on Saturday and working all day on Sunday, she had put herself out of work. She knew that she would go stir crazy hiding in her office for the rest of the day. She slipped her shoes back on and she peeked out the window and was relieved to find Cindy's car not in the parking lot. She grabbed a couple of files off her desk, not caring what they were and she rushed out of her office. "I'm off to the court house." She called out to Shelly and then she noticed that Sam, Robert and Big Mama gathered around Shelly's desk. "Cindy can take that, she will be right back." She heard Shelly call out to her as she got to the front door. "I've got it, thanks." Molly said as the door shut. She got in her car and she saw four sets of eyes looking out the door and the windows. She knew that she would soon be the object of conversation and somewhere in that conversation would come the line "I think she is going crazy on us." and the sad part was that she was beginning to think that the statement would be correct. Molly was afraid to go to the courthouse for fear of finding Cindy there, so she just started to drive. She went over the conversation that she was going have with Cindy later that afternoon. At noon, she stopped and got something to eat and then got back into her car and tried to make the afternoon go by faster but with nothing to do, the day dragged by. But it finally came time to head back to the office and she felt a huge lump in her chest and her stomach began to churn. She walked in as everyone was packing their things and getting ready to leave. She got a strange look from everyone but no one said anything to her. She saw Cindy sitting by Shelly's desk and she could see that she had a fearful look on her face. That only made her feel worse but she knew it was now the time to get this over with. She went into her office, only this time she left the door open. A few minutes after everyone had left the office, she heard soft footsteps coming in her door. When she looked up, she saw Cindy looking at her from across her desk. "Are you going to fire me?" Cindy asked and Molly could see that she was about to cry. "No honey, I'm not going to fire you. Why would you think that?" Molly said as she got up and went to Cindy. She then guided her to the couch. As soon as Cindy sat down, she started to cry and then she started to sob. Molly knew this wasn't going as she had planned and she took Cindy into her arms and held her as she cried. She tried to calm her down and it was only after she had cried herself out that Molly was able to get her to talk. "I'm not going to fire you, why would you ever think that." Molly asked again. "Because I kissed you Saturday night and then you have avoided me all day. You stayed away from the office just so you wouldn't have to face me didn't you?" Cindy said. "I did stay away from the office today because of you but not so that I could fire you when I got back. And as far as the kiss went, I believe that I also kissed you. But there is something I needed to talk to you about and it does involve the kiss." Molly told "What do you want to tell me?" Cindy said and Molly could see the hurt and fear in her eyes. "I know that I kissed you back the other night but I'm really not into women. I mean I have been married twice." Molly said. "But both times you got divorced and I know that you weren't happy in either marriage, you have told me as much. And you enjoyed the kiss. You can't say that you didn't, I know better." Cindy countered. "You are right on both points but that doesn't change the fact that you are a lesbian but I'm not. That is just how it has to be. Cindy please don't argue with me about this. Let's just be friends and leave it at that, okay." Molly said. "Okay, if that is the way it has to be but I think that you are wrong about you not liking women." Cindy said. "I'm not wrong and let's talk about something else." Cindy said. "What do you want to talk about that is more important than us." Cindy said. "Honey, there is no us and there never will be. That is what I have been trying to tell you." Molly said and then she tried to find another subject to bring up. "So when did you realize that you were into women?" Molly asked then she wondered why of all the subjects that she could have brought up, why that one. "Since I was about fifteen, I guess." "How did you know? I mean, that is so young." Molly said now curious. "I just knew. I mean, I didn't like boys and women got me excited. I just added one and one and got two." Was Cindy's simple reply. "I see, do your parents know?" "Oh god no, I am putting that off as long as possible. I know that they will still love me and all that but still they want me to get married and be happy. But I know I wouldn't be happy with a man." Cindy said. "I'm sure that you will find what you are looking for and she will make you happy." "I already have found that woman and she is you." Cindy said and before Molly knew what was happening, Cindy had slid in close to her and she was closing her beautiful blue eyes as she leaned in toward her. Molly's first instinct was to jump up and run, or at least push Cindy away. She wanted to stop this before it started as she had intended to do when she started the conversation with Cindy. But for some reason, she did neither of these things. What she did do was to close her eyes and accept the kiss. She felt Cindy's lips touch her lips and the same thing she felt Saturday night as she kissed Cindy came flooding back to her. She felt the loneliness that had been her life for so damn long leaving her. She raised her hands to Cindy's shoulders and brought her in close. She felt Cindy melt into her arms and she hugged her tightly. Cindy turned her head and she opened her lips. Molly took advantage of the situation and she slipped her tongue into Cindy's mouth and she felt Cindy begin to suck on it. Molly knew that this was all wrong but there was something about Cindy that she couldn't resist, something about her eyes that had some sort of control over her. She kissed Cindy harder and she felt her whole body responding to the kiss. She could feel her nipples begin to harden under her bra and she felt her pussy begin to get moist. She felt like she was living again. The kiss continued as she sucked Cindy's tongue into her mouth and she caressed it with her own tongue. She felt her breathing quicken and she finally ended the kiss so that she could catch her breath. Cindy pushed her on back so that she was leaning against the end of the couch and Cindy curled up against her. Molly then wrapped Cindy up in her arms. "This is so wrong; nothing good can come of it." Molly said as she kissed Cindy's forehead. "No, that's where you are wrong, this is what was meant to happen, this is our fate. I just had to keep pushing until you gave in." Cindy said as she rose up and kissed Molly lightly on the lips then she settled back down. "So you were seducing me all along." Molly said. "Well, trying to as best as I could." Cindy said. "I didn't exactly know what I was doing; I just knew I had to try. As soon as I saw you the first time, I knew that you were the one I was looking for." "But I'm so much older than you and you had to know that I was straight." Molly said. "Yea, well I'm into older women and I when I saw you looking at me that first day, I knew that you were interested." "How could you know that? I didn't know that then nor do I still know that. I'm not completely convinced that this is going to work, or if I want it to work." Molly said as she began to wonder about Cindy. "I saw it and I see it in your eyes. I saw it that first day and I saw it Saturday in the dressing room. You looked over every inch of my body and I know that your nipples were hard and there was a wet area in your panties." Cindy said. Molly felt herself blush at Cindy's last statement and she wanted to counter Cindy's argument but she knew that Cindy was right, at least about the dressing room. "Well, I..." Molly started to say but she didn't know what to say. For the first time she could not come back with anything. "Well, what? Does the great lawyer not have a comeback? Does she concede the point?" Cindy said with a giggle. "Watch it there missy, or I'll..." Molly was saying. "Or you'll what?" Cindy said as she looked up at Molly with a mischievous grin. "Or I put you over my knee like your mama should have obviously done more often." Molly said and then she pictured looking at Cindy's cute bottom over her knee and it made her shiver and she knew that Cindy picked up on that. "Now I want to spank this girl, I am going crazy." Molly thought to herself. "Is that a promise or a threat?" Cindy said and Molly saw that same mischievous grin, only her eyes had something else in them and that started her juices flowing. "You'll regret that statement," Molly said as she pulled Cindy up to her and she put her hand to the back of Cindy's neck. She brought her head down slowly as she stared into those light blue eyes. Then she closed her eyes and she felt Cindy's lips on hers. Her lips felt so nice, softer than any man's lips that she had kissed. And Cindy didn't push anything, she let Molly control the kiss and that felt so natural to her. Like this was the way a kiss should be with her. As she kissed Cindy, she let her left hand go to her back and she ran her hand up and down Cindy's back. She felt Cindy's bra strap and she had an urge to unhook it. She let her hand go on down to Cindy's lower back and she went on down and her hand began to go up the rise to Cindy's butt. She let her hand rest on Cindy's butt cheeks and then she gave her right cheek as squeeze. She felt Cindy moan into her mouth and Molly sucked Cindy's tongue into her mouth. Her hand pressed down on Cindy's butt and she could feel Cindy grind her pelvis into her. This made Molly moan and she suddenly wanted to explore another woman's body but not any woman's body, she wanted Cindy's body. The kissing began to get more intense and she could feel Cindy begin to move her hands. They started at her arms but soon found their way to her chest. Molly sucked in her breath as she felt Cindy's hand cup her right breast. "Oh god" Molly mumbled into Cindy's lips as they kissed. "It's me Shelly, I forgot my purse!" Molly heard Shelly shout from the front door. "Oh fuck!" Molly said under her breath as she pushed Cindy off of her. "Damn!" Cindy said aloud. "What?" they heard Shelly say as they heard her footsteps approach Molly's office. They both scrambled to straighten out their clothes and hair before Shelly got there. "Nothing, what are you doing here, we thought you had left." Molly said as Shelly entered the room. "I said I left my purse here. I got halfway home before I realized it was here. I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached. So what are you two still doing here?" "Ahh... I was just going over some things I need to have Cindy take to the courthouse first thing in the morning. Wasn't I, honey?" Molly said not realizing that she had used "Honey" to Cindy. "Yes, I'm getting them now." Cindy said as she quickly picked up on what Molly was hinting at. She grabbed a few files off Molly's desk and started for the door. "I'll see you all in the morning, after I go to the courthouse." Cindy said. "Sure I didn't interrupt anything?" Shelly said and Molly knew that Shelly wasn't buying the files and courthouse thing. "No, everything is fine, why are you asking?" "It's just that you were acting strange today and Cindy was very quite. She normally talks up a storm but today she hardly said a word. Is something wrong, has she done something that I need to talk to her about? You had to go to the courthouse today and that was something Cindy could or should have done." "No, she is doing great. Please don't say anything to her. You know how she is, she will just worry. I don't know about you but I'm ready to get out of here. Let's go." Molly said as she guided Shelly out of her office. Molly could feel the moisture on her panties and she hoped that Shelly didn't pick up on her scent. But Shelly was pretty sharp and she knew that she would be the first to figure out what was going on. Molly left with Shelly and she headed home wondering just what she had gotten herself into. She had meant to end it with Cindy before it started but did she do that, no, she did the opposite. She was now committed to Cindy and that was the last thing she wanted but then she remembered how Cindy's lips felt kissing her and when she felt Cindy touch her breast, she thought she was going to cum right then and there. The thought of making love to Cindy scared her but she also knew the very thought of doing that made her so excited. It scared her but also excited her. This was all going to be so confusing but she knew that she wanted Cindy. She wanted to know everything about this young girl that seemed to know what she wanted, the girl that had cast a spell upon her and she couldn't break free, not that she really wanted to at this point. But now she had to figure how they were going to work this. Obviously making out in her office wasn't such a good idea. She felt like a school girl getting caught making out in her daddy's car. This thought made her giggle. It was at this point that Molly realized that she had long since passed her house and she had to turn around to get home. She knew she was in deep shit, but she knew that the first day she laid eyes on Cindy. When she woke up the next morning, the sheets weren't tangled in her feet and she woke up with a smile, a smile that didn't seem to want to go away. She got to the office as usual and put the coffee on to heat. She was kind of hoping that she would find Cindy already here but then she realized that she was being silly. She told herself to cool it; this wasn't the time or place for that type of thinking. She had to get her head back into the game. So she went to her office with her cup of coffee and lit a cigarette. Once she finished the cigarette she started to get down to work but then she realized that Cindy had taken all of the files that were on her desk to "Go to the courthouse for her." "Oh well, that figures" she thought. She then went to her computer and started to catch up on her emails. A little while later, she heard Shelly and then the other's voices. After the emails, she went to her voice mails and she took notes as the messages player. Soon she was deep into her work and had for the moment forgotten all about Cindy but then she heard the door open and she heard that voice that she had been waiting for. She listened for a few minutes as Cindy talked to Shelly. Then she heard Cindy say something about giving some files that she picked up at the courthouse for Molly. She heard the footsteps and then her phone rang. She wanted to ignore it but she knew that she had to take the call. She picked it up as Cindy came to the door and Molly motioned for her to come on in as she talked. Molly noticed that the file covers had changed since Cindy had picked them up the previous night and had to smile at her attempt at deception. Molly pointed at the chair in front of her desk and she watched Cindy sit and she lost her train of though when Cindy winked at her. Molly had to make the caller repeat what they had said as she frowned at Cindy but it didn't faze her at all as a grin appeared on Cindy's face. Molly talked for a few minutes more then she was able to hang up. "Did you have any trouble at the courthouse this morning?" Molly asked all business like. "No it was no trouble at all; it was like getting to sleep in late on a workday." Cindy said with a smile and then she let out a little giggle. "I bet it was." Molly said with laughing. Then she started to bring up the wink when her phone rang again. "We on for a walk at lunch?" Cindy whispered as she got up. Molly smiled and shook her head yes. It turned out to be a busy morning for both Molly and Cindy. Molly's phone rang off the hook as in a matter of hours; she had picked up two nice accounts for her firm. It was two companies that she had handled at her previous firm. It seemed that they had gotten tired of being treated like their business didn't mean anything to the firm so within hours of each other they made a change to the person they knew would take care of them and treat them right. This meant a steady income for her firm. So she scheduled a meeting for the afternoon with all her associates, as she wanted them to be prepared for the meetings that they would have with their new clients the next day. She had one of them coming in the morning and one in the afternoon. She then sent gave Cindy a list of things to get for the next day. This kept Cindy busy all morning and it would start her off running the next day as she had to pick up snacks for the meetings. It was a couple of minutes after noon when Cindy returned from one of her errands and when she walked into Molly's office she found her sneaking in a cigarette. "No comments, I need this one, it has been a very busy morning." Molly said trying to head off any comment from Cindy. "Did I say anything? No, and I wasn't going to either." Cindy said. "So you ready, you definitely need to get out and relax a few minutes." "You can say that again." Molly replied and then she saw Cindy smile and start to say something so she continued with, "And don't even think about it!" Cindy smiled real big and she held up her hands as if she wasn't even thinking about repeating what she had said but Molly knew that was exactly what Cindy was about to do. "There are a few things I want to talk to you about." Molly said as they went out the door to go for their walk. "What's that?" Cindy said as she slipped in close to Molly as they turned the corner and started down the sidewalk. "We keep our... our whatever it is... away from work. No more kissing or winking at work. I'm still not sure of everything yet but I do know that we need to keep this away from work." Molly said as the turned the corner. "I understand that won't be a problem." Cindy said. Then Molly felt something brush against her hand and the next thing that Molly knew Cindy was grasping her hand and entwining her fingers with Molly's. "Didn't you just hear what I said and then agree with it?" Molly asked as she raised her hand with Cindy's hand firmly attached. "Yes I heard but we aren't at work right now and no one will see us." Cindy said confidently. "Are you always going to be like this, doing what I ask but then again not quite doing what I ask?" Molly asked with a smile. "Yep!" Cindy said as she leaned over and gave Molly a quick kiss to the cheek. "You are incorrigible." Molly said with a laugh as she squeezed Cindy's hand. They talked and walked and as they came back around the block and were heading toward the office, Molly felt Cindy release her hand but as soon as they were past the office, she promptly took Molly's hand again. Molly knew that her life had changed forever, whether that was a good thing or not, she didn't know. As they came to the office again Cindy dropped her hand from Molly's but she did give it a squeeze before releasing it. "You wouldn't be free for dinner tonight would you." Molly asked as they were going up the walk to the office. "I think that I could free up my evening for you." Cindy said with a sweet grin on her face. "Good, then leave after work but come right back after everyone leaves and we will go someplace to eat." Molly said. "Cool, our first date." Cindy whispered as she entered the door. Molly hesitated a second as Cindy's words hit her. "She's right; I did just ask her out. I asked another woman out." Molly thought to herself and then she realized that Cindy was holding the door open for her and her eyebrows were arched as if asking what was holding Molly up. "Sorry, I was just thinking about something." "Me, I hope." Cindy said as her eyes sparkled. Molly looked around and saw that they were alone, "Cindy, I can't believe you. You don't listen to a thing I say!" Molly said angrily then she started to reach out for her but Cindy quickly jumped away laughing and then she ran into Molly's office. "Cindy get out of there, everyone will be coming back from lunch any second now." Molly called out as she headed after her. As soon as she entered her office, she felt a hand grab her arm and she was swung around. She found herself looking into Cindy's blue eyes and the anger she was feeling at her melted away. She felt Cindy's hand at the back of her neck and her head was being pulled forward. She didn't and couldn't resist her and soon they were kissing. Molly kissed Cindy back as she pinned her against the back of the door. The kiss went on until they heard a car pull up and they parted out of breath. Cindy smiled and she gave Molly a quick kiss. Then she left the office before the door opened and Big Mama came in. Molly didn't see the look that Big Mama gave Cindy or the way Cindy was blushing from that look. Molly was too busy trying to figure out how she was ever going to manage Cindy and she knew in her heart that there was no managing Cindy. She was a sprit that had magically appeared into her life. The afternoon was a whirlwind of activity as Molly brought her associates up to date with their new clients. Sam had worked with Molly at their previous firm, with the clients so Molly asked him to give his input on them. The afternoon was a big brainstorm and Molly assigned Sam and Big Mama one of the accounts and she and Robert the other one. That way each client would have someone they were familiar with working for them. They worked until about six and when Molly came out, she found that Cindy had left. They were supposed to go out to dinner that night and now she was wondering where she was. She knew she should have gotten around to getting Cindy that cell phone. Molly bid everyone a good evening as she went into her office. A couple minutes after everyone had left, that she heard the door opening and she felt the beginnings of a smile appearing on her face. "You need to have shorter meetings. I have been driving around the block for over an hour." Cindy said as she appeared in the doorway. "Is that so, you telling me how to run my firm now?" Molly said as she was getting up. "Yep," Cindy said with a giggle. "We'll see about that." Molly said as she stepped in front of Cindy. She then leaned in and gave her a quick kiss. "What about no kissing and stuff at the office." Cindy said as she took Molly's hand. "Shut up and come along or you get no dinner." Molly said. "You would send me home with no dinner?" Cindy said. "Yep," Molly said in the same tone that Cindy had said "yep" earlier. This cause Cindy to giggle again and she stepped in close to Molly as she set the alarm and they went to Molly's car. The first stop they made was at the cell phone store. There Molly helped Cindy to get a phone. Molly said the phone would be a way for her to contact her on nights like this and she could also use it for work, but any calls that were made for work, Molly said she would pay for. Cindy started to protest but the look Molly gave her, shut her up quickly. As they were leaving, Cindy said she forgot something and she went back into the store. "Hello," Molly said as she looked at the unfamiliar number appearing on her phone. "Hi sweetie, I wanted you to be the first person I called on my new phone." Molly heard Cindy say into her ear. "You're silly; get your ass out here before I leave you." Molly said with a hint of a smile in her voice. "You wouldn't dare!" Cindy said. "Try me." Molly said and she turned to see Cindy bursting through the door of the store heading straight for her. Cindy gave her a kiss before she got into the car. Molly took Cindy to a restaurant that she had always wanted to try. She forwent all the upscale restaurants that she normally went to. This place was supposed to have great food and it also provided a bit of privacy which at this point was not a bad thing. They were met at the door and were taken to the back section which was reserved for smokers. This was one of the few places in town that still allowed you to smoke. They both ordered a diet coke to drink; Molly really wanted a glass of wine but since Cindy would not turn twenty one for three more years from Friday. They had a big party planned for Friday at the firm to celebrate Cindy turning eighteen. But, of course, Cindy didn't know this yet. When their drinks arrived, they both ordered steaks and as they waited for them to be cooked, Molly couldn't help it but to light up a cigarette. "Do you mind, it has been a long day?" Molly said as she exhaled the smoke and felt herself relaxing. "Seeing how you already have it lit before asking, I don't mind at all." Cindy said with a straight face. "I'm sorry, I can put it out." Molly said as she took a last puff and started to put it out in the ashtray. "No, I was kidding. I don't mind." Cindy said as she grasped Molly's hand keeping her from putting the cigarette out. Cindy then took the cigarette from the hand she was holding and held it out to Molly who took it in her other hand. Cindy released Molly's hand but for a moment before she took it again, this time she entwined her fingers with Molly's fingers. Molly looked down at her hand holding Cindy's and she gave Molly's fingers a squeeze. "So what you got planned for your birthday Friday, a night on the town." Molly asked smiling as she was fishing for information. "No, I'm not much for partying or anything. I'll probably just stay at home with my parents." Cindy said with her mouth drooping a bit. "Well, I am sure that they will want to celebrate your birthday with you." Molly said. "They have done that for the last seventeen years; I think that they wouldn't mind doing it a day early if I had plans." Cindy said with a smile. Molly knew what Cindy was doing and it was exactly the same thing she was doing. "So they wouldn't mind too much if someone from work would happen to ask you to dinner or something after work on Friday." Molly watched as Cindy's face lit up but she then added, "I heard that Shelly was going to take you out for your birthday." Molly then saw that Cindy's face all but dropped to the floor. "But I told her that since I was the boss, I got first dibs on taking you out for your birthday." "You were messing with me all along!" Cindy cried as she got up and went to Molly and hugged her tight. Molly felt herself blushing but she also felt good about what she had done. "Yea, I wanted to do something for your birthday but wanted to make sure you really weren't doing anything." Molly said. "I wasn't but I am now!" Cindy said as her face was all smiles. Molly talked a little about work to get the conversation going and then she got Cindy to talk. She found that she was beginning to love to stare into Cindy's hypnotic eyes as she talked. They seemed to sparkle when she was talking about something good and they turned cold and sad when she talked about the opposite. Their steaks soon arrived and while their talking slowed as they ate, they still kept the conversation going. They took their time in the restaurant and stayed long enough for Molly to smoke a couple after dinner cigarettes. It was starting to get late so they made a stop at the restrooms before heading to Molly's car. Molly hit the button to unlock the car and she went to Cindy's door to help her inside and when she closed the door she wondered just why she had done that. When she got to her side of the car, she saw that Cindy had reached over and opened her door for her. Molly slid into the seat and she looked over at Cindy and she had a far off look in her eyes. Molly shut her door and she turned toward Cindy only to find her leaning toward her. Molly closed her eyes and accepted Cindy's kiss. Molly felt her heart flutter at the first touch of Cindy's soft lips and she put her hand to Cindy's shoulder and pulled her closer. Molly parted her lips and she moved her tongue out and she ran it along Cindy's front teeth and she heard Cindy groan. Cindy opened her mouth and Molly moved her tongue a little deeper and she felt Cindy's tongue. She circled Cindy's tongue with her own as the kiss became more passionate. Molly moved her hand down to Cindy's side and she felt Cindy suck in her breath. Then Molly felt the need to touch Cindy a little more intimately. She had never had that urge before and she didn't know why she was feeling it now but she was. She slowly moved her hand upward and inward and she began to feel the swell of Cindy's breast. She felt her heard beating wildly and she could also feel Cindy's heart beating just as fast. Molly paused a second, then she moved her hand up the swell and then she was cupping Cindy's breast. It was so soft and it felt so natural for her to be grasping it. Molly gently squeezed Cindy's breast and she heard Cindy moan into the kiss. Molly felt her own nipple begin to harden and her pussy was getting wet. Molly moved her fingers across Cindy's nipple. It was as hard as a rock and she felt Cindy break off the kiss as she needed to breathe. Cindy grasped for her breath as she moved her hand to cover Molly's hand with her own. Cindy curled her hand around Molly's head and brought her in for another kiss. Molly kissed her hard and she continued to caress Cindy's breast. Molly began to feel an itch down deep, an itch that had not been scratched in a long, long time, one that was now wide awake. She felt Cindy's searching out her breast and she turned slightly in her seat to help her. When Cindy's hand touched her breast, Molly pulled her lips away from Cindy's lips and she moaned aloud. They were both gasping for their breaths as they kissed and caressed each other. It was only when the car parked behind them turned on their lights thus lighting up the car that Molly realized where she was and what she was doing and who she was doing it with. She sat back in her seat and Cindy did the same as they both slowly calmed down. Molly couldn't believe that she was necking in a car. She had never done that, not even when she was in high school. She looked over at Cindy and she knew that she wanted to do much more with her than kiss and caress. "I think we had better go, we both have a long day tomorrow." Molly said as she buckled her seatbelt and she started her car. Cindy only nodded but she didn't say anything but then she didn't need to. Molly gave her a last kiss when Cindy got out of her car at the office. Molly didn't get far down the road when she heard her cell phone ring. She looked at the number and this time she recognized the number. "Hello Cindy," "I forgot to tell you to have sweet dreams tonight." Cindy said. "Sweet dreams to you too, now get on home and get some sleep." Molly said smiling. "You too, bye-bye," Cindy said and then Molly heard her disconnect. Molly woke the next morning feeling pretty good. She had a big day coming; these accounts would put her firm on solid ground as it would give them a steady income every month. As she showered, her mind left her work and went back to the night before in the car. She could feel Cindy's breast in her hand and it felt so good. The memory was so clear in her mind she found that she was looking at the very hand that had touched Cindy. She knew she was fast approaching the point of no return, if she hadn't already passed it. Molly felt her nipples tighten and she put her hands to her breasts and she squeezed them. She felt herself shiver even under the warm spray of the shower. She caressed her breasts and then she began to pinch her nipples and that made her moan. Her fingers started to pull on her nipples and then her mind went to Cindy and she could picture Cindy in the shower with her. It was Cindy pulling on her nipples and caressing her breasts. That made her moan louder and she felt her juices start to flow. She moved a hand to her pussy and she felt the trimmed hair and she could feel that her pussy was wet with her juices. She began to run her fingers up and down her slit and she slipped a finger into her pussy. She moved it in and out pretending that it was Cindy's finger. Her knees got weak and she had to lean against the shower wall and she fucked her pussy harder. She took her other hand from her breast and she began to caress her clit. She moaned aloud and she began to feel a tingling in her belly. It had been years since she had last had an orgasm and this felt so good. She worked her clit harder as the need to cum became stronger. Her clit was hard and she circled it with her fingers. She felt her pussy grip her finger and she pushed a second finger into her pussy. She fucked her pussy as she knew Cindy would and she had the picture of Cindy's lovely face in her mind as she felt the first waves of her orgasm wash over her. She cried out and she felt her stomach spasm as she enjoyed the feeling of pleasure wash over her. As she recovered from her orgasm, Molly knew that she was lost; there was no way she could stop what she had already begun with Cindy. The day went by fast and furious and she thought that both meetings went well with their new clients. All of her associates came through like she knew they would and the clients seemed satisfied that they would get the attention that they thought they deserved and wasn't getting at Molly's old firm. Once both meetings were over with, she had one last meeting with her associates and they divided the work between them. It would add to all their work loads but not so much that they would be overburden. Molly knew that if things continued to grow, then she would have to add another associate or two but that was something to worry about later. By the time the meeting with her associates ended, Cindy had already left for the day and Molly had to admit that she missed not being able to say good night to her. So Molly packed up her things and headed for her home. Molly had just sat down and lit up a cigarette when she heard the doorbell ring. "Oh god, I'm too tired for guests tonight, maybe they will go away." Molly thought to herself but then she heard the ringing of the doorbell becoming more insistent. "Goddamit, go away!" Molly shouted silently but then she pushed her tired body up from the comfortable chair that she was sitting in. She went to the door and opened it to find herself looking at someone holding a paper bag in front of her. "God, you are slow!" Molly heard coming from the other side of the bag and she stepped aside to let Cindy in. "What are you doing here?" Molly said as her mood suddenly changed from being too tired to poop to feeling a renewed energy. "Cooking you some dinner, I knew you would be tired and probably too wired to do anything after the day you had." Cindy replied as she went into the kitchen. "You had just as busy a day." Molly said as she followed her into the kitchen. "Yes but the pressure wasn't on me today, it was on you. You are responsible for the firm and its success depends on you, not me." Cindy said. "Now you are making me feel tired." Molly said with a slight laugh. "See, I told you so. Now sit down and let me fix you a cup of tea." Cindy said. "I never was much a tea drinker; I'm more of a coffee drinker." Molly said as she started toward her coffee pot. "I told you to sit down, now do it!" Cindy demanded and Molly immediately sat down. "Good, this tea you will like." Molly sat as Cindy heated some water then she poured it into a cup. She then got a tea bag from her purse and dipped it into the tea. She put just a little cream and sugar into the tea and handed it to her. Molly took a tentative sip. "This isn't bad, what type of tea is this?" Molly asked. "If I told you then I would have to kill you." Cindy said with a grin. She then started to talk about everything and nothing as she frolicked around the kitchen finding the pans and dishes. Molly followed the conversation as best she could but she began to feel the day catching up with her. Molly added a word to what ever Cindy was talking about but mostly she just listened. Before she knew it, Cindy was putting a plate of food in front of her and she started to eat. "This is not bad, girl." Molly said and she
