The Online Job - Chapter 9

OTHER CHAPTERS | ALL STORY LIST

As the two left and walked out into the heat and humidity of southern Florida Tara remarked that she was glad that they only had to walk across the street. Natti didn’t care, he was just so excited about his hairstyle, he kept shaking his head enjoying the new feel of how his hair fell on his head. Even though the mall was just across the street it was still over a 5-minute walk. It felt so different walking through the doors of the mall into the cool air.

Natti told Tara that his mother told him that he should make sure to get some feminine underwear with his gift card so that he could wear them with the clothes he was going to buy. As they walked along neither one actually noticed when they took each other's hand.

After they walked into the mall Tara told Natti that he should indeed get some female undergarments and the best place to buy them would be in, “Under Secretary”, which was a store on the second level way off to one side. It was a smaller store but lots of women shopped there because they had real quality, low prices, and the most beautiful pieces she had ever seen.

She told him to follow her. Natti asked if they could get something to drink before they began, and she agreed that they might want to pick up a sandwich as well as they had a lot of shopping ahead of them. Over the sandwiches they ate at the food court they compared notes on what they wanted to get to wear the last week of school.

Natti pulled out his phone and looked at his balance and with the card his mother gave him he told Tara that he had $720.00 to spend, minus what the hairstyle and nails cost. As they ate he asked Tara how much he owed her for the cut and style since she had paid for it with her card.

She looked up from eating and told him not to worry about it, and that she did it so that she could have fun dressing him like a girl. Then she asked you’re not mad that I want to dress you like a girl are you? Natti looked at her and said, “No but I just don’t want you to spend all your money on me.

I can get enough of my own money.” Tara smiled and said don’t worry, my daddy gives me lots of money and I hardly ever spend it on anything, so today is on me, and don’t worry about how much money I spend.

Natti went back to eating his sandwich and then asked, “Hey just how much money did you spend on me getting my hair styled?” She smiled and said, “Well the consultation was $30.00, cut and style was $60.00, nails were $55.00, and the waxing was $40.00. But like I said it was my treat.” Natti finished the last of his sandwich and said that being a girl cost a lot of money. Tara almost choked on her Orange Julius and then told him that he hadn’t seen anything yet.

As they were throwing their trash away Natti told her that there were two boys leaning against the metal railing that separated the food court from the people passing by looking at her. She didn’t even look over at them and said that they were looking at us. She added that they were trying to decide which one of us they wanted to talk to, you know who would get who. Just pay them no mind. They’ve been there far too long. If they were really interested they would have come over and started to talk to us a long time ago.

“You knew that they were there? How long have they been there”, Natti asked. She smiled at him as she picked up her bag and grabbed his hand and started to lead him away to the stairs going up to the second floor. “Oh, they showed up just after we sat down.”

As they walked up the stairs she told Natti that with his hairstyle he looked a lot like a girl, and with the right clothes could probably pass for a girl even when talking to someone. She inquired about what he would do if he ran into anyone from school. This is Saturday and this afternoon there would be a lot of people from the school here.

He said that he hadn’t really thought about it and then she said that they would have to do something about that, you know just in case. They went into the lingerie store and she said first we are going to have to get you some bras and panties. They have those here as well but the everyday stuff is way too expensive. We can pick up some of that in a drug store.

You can get bras and panties in a drug store but it is such low quality it’s best to get them here. She then turned to him and in a tone that a waiter would use in a fancy restaurant said, “Here you can eat well or not so well depending on the entréemademoiselle chooses.

They both giggled at that and as Natti followed Tara he couldn’t help thinking how wrong he had been about her. She was beautiful, smart, and witty and he had thought that she was just an airhead. She was looking through panties hung on small hangers and he stood next to her and asked, “So that is just an act that you put on in school huh?” Without looking at him she said that it was but then asked that he not let the cat out of the bag.

From behind them, there was a voice that asked if they could help them find anything. She turned and replied, “Oh yes Violet, we do need your help. This is my friend Natti and Natti this is Violet Stallings. Natti, Violet is a dear friend of my mother's and the owner of her shop. Violet, we need to outfit Natti here with everything a young lady would need to help support her.” The lady looked at Natti knowing that he wasn’t a real girl but she didn’t say anything but did address Natti directly.

It’s so nice that Tara brings her friends to shop here, and since we need to get you everything I think I have what you need in my private display room. She turned and indicated that they should follow her. She passed a young lady in her late twenties or early thirties and said that she would be in the private display room.

The young lady said yes ma’am and Tara and Natti followed her through the dressing room area, through the stock room, and to a plain-looking door which she opened once inside turned on the light, and closed and locked the door. There were two dressing stalls with curtains that they used for privacy in dressing.

Around the room were racked with all sorts of panties and bras, and off to one side were shelves that had stockings and other items. Tara said that she never knew that she had a private display room and she went over to one of the racks and began to look at some panties.

“Violet replied that she kept this for her discreet clientele. She said that first Natti would have to have something that would enhance his presence as the young lady that she was and looked and said that she looked to be a size 6 asking if that was correct. Natti nodded and Violet walked over to one of the shelves saying we have these in black, white, light blue, and a pastel pink and then asked if Natti had a color preference.

What she brought back looked kind of like an athletic supporter but that was where the similarities ended. Tara became very interested in what she had and asked to look at this. Both she and Natti looked at it together. Violet said that the company that made these had taken the gaff and added an enhancement. Now when you are wearing a tight pair of pants such as yoga pants or a swimsuit it will provide the illusion that you seek.

When Tara saw this she said “that it would look just like a, a, a female form”, she said trying to search for an acceptable description. Violet one in white suggested that Natti take this into one of the dressing stalls and try them on. She handed him a card saying that these were the instructions for wearing them adding that there was a white robe that you can wear if you want to step out and show us how they fit.

Natti stepped into the dressing stall and closed the curtain and removed all his clothes and on the instruction card read about how to put it on. This was the first time that he had ever pushed his testicles into the cavity but he did it and then pulling the gaff up placed his boyness into the sleeve like the instructions said.

He noticed right away that they were very tight. There wasn’t a mirror in here so to see how they looked he would have to put on the robe, and there were also a pair of house shoes that he could wear. He stepped out and Tara was talking to Violet and they both turned to see him when he came out.

“Well open the robe so I can see”, exclaimed Tara. He did and she noticed immediately the change that they made. She looked at Natti and she handed him a pair of panties that she was holding. They were a white lace and covered up the gaff and when he put them on she could see just how the change took place. “OMG that is so cool looking”, and turning to Violet told her that they would take 2 pairs of each color.

Violet pulled their purchase off the shelf and Tara was already looking at bras when she turned back. She picked out 8 for Natti and they were in different colors and styles. Violet inquired about breasts forms and Tara asked if we should get forms or just stuff them with something. Violet told her that the forms were the best option and that she had a pair in whatever size they wanted.

Natti told her that his mom was going to buy them online so before we buy them maybe I should talk to her. Violet told her that was a very bad option, because you don’t know what they were made of and if they were an acceptable quality or not. Well, I’d hate to purchase them and then my mom buys some, and she may not be able to return them. Tara of course had the answer and just told him to call her and tell her that we were getting them here.

It seemed like a good idea and Natti said that he could. He called his mom and asked her if we shouldn’t just go ahead and purchase them here. He explained about the shop and she agreed to say that might be best and had no idea that there were stores where you could purchase them. He told her that he was getting everything that he needed and gave a brief description of Violet’s store.

She said that she had seen that, but never had purchased anything from there. They ended their conversation and Violet asked him if he wanted to take them or wear them when she left. That was the second time that she used a female pronoun directed at Natti. If he wore them then she could show him how they could be put on.

He opted for Violet’s suggestion at Tara’s insentience. It was really very easy as they came with some pads that you first stuck to the form and then placed the form in the bra cups and the bra would hold it in place while the adhesive took hold. He settled on a rather plain white bra, but it did have some lace accents.

Tara was taking control by this time and finished the purchase adding some white, black, and umber-colored stockings. She had also chosen 4 matching garter belts and two complete sets in black and red. It made quite a pile but all fit easily into two large shopping bags. Natti had stepped back into the dressing stall and put on his clothes that he found didn’t fit him any longer.

It wasn’t that the size had changed, but they were men’s clothes now and Natti has somehow morphed into a young lady. Violet was coming back into the dressing room and returned Tara’s card to her. She made mention that they were going to have fun completing all the rest of their purchases while lugging around the two large bags. Violet had an answer for her and offered to keep them in her office until the two left the mall.

As they left Tara asked what time his mom would be home and he told her that she had mentioned four-thirty or so, but it usually took her a little longer on her buying excursions. She said that it didn’t matter as she could get her mother or Jake to give them a ride home. They headed off to Margie’s. On the way there she suggested that they stop in a large drug store that was kind of off to one side so that she could purchase a few pairs of pantyhose.

Natti asked if we had to get them now, and Tara asked him if he remembered when she told him that we were going to do something about that, and replied that he did. Well, she told him that what we are going to do about that is to have you completely change clothes here. That way Natti could hide in plain sight. Now Natti understood what she had planned and he thought it could work. Walking past the large glass windows he could see that he didn’t look much like himself anymore, and in a dress, no one would recognize him as Nathan.

As they walked into Margie’s Natti saw Tiffany at the front counter talking to the lady at the register and she led them to where she was keeping the items that they had already chosen. Tara had her list and Natti’s list and they matched up the items that they would need. Tiffany was a huge help and found many of the items holding them up for their approval.

Soon they had chosen two dresses and two skirts and blouses besides the ones that they had already picked out. Natti had wanted to get a pair of shorts, but Tara nixed that idea as she said the only shorts that complied with the school's dress code was what she called, “Old lady shorts”, and she didn’t want to wear that to school, or anywhere else for that matter.

Before they left Natti had seen a dress that he really wanted and he had to have something to wear out of the store to help him hide in plain sight as Tara mentioned. There was this white sundress that was light and had a full skirt. They bought that and standing there looking in the mirror there was no way that he looked anything like Nathan, and he didn’t know what it was but deep inside of him he finally felt like he belonged.

Even Tiffany saw it and commented that when she first met him there was just something that wasn’t right about him. She didn’t know what it was but now seeing him with his hair and in that dress, she knew that this was who he was. It was so obvious now, seeing the before and after Natti. Tara seemed like she was so proud that she had brought it out.

The first time that she had spoken to Natti outside that classroom and he mentioned her blouse she knew that she had to find the real Natti. She had never seen it before, being camouflaged as he was in those boy clothes. Now in a dress, she had brought him or her out, and it wasn’t just the clothes, but even his actions, the way that he moved it was all so very feminine.

Then she looked down, and then looking very seriously said, “Those shoes have got to go.” It was Tiffany that asked the question that hadn’t been asked, but needed to, “What do you want me to do with these”, as she had his shirt and jeans in a bundle. Natti took them and removed his house keys, some change, his wallet, and cellphone and then looked to the side and tossed them in a trash receptacle.

Tara told Natti that we should be all set now that you have thrown away Nathan, but we needed to make one more stop. They were carrying 2 shopping bags each and it was only a short trip to the other side of the large mall aisle to a shoe store. There they picked up 6 pairs of shoes for Natti and only 4 for Tara as she had some at home that she could wear.

She also had Natti choose a new wallet and his first-ever purse. He quickly transferred what he had into the new wallet and then took and put his empty one in one of the bags. He also found a pair of white Sketchers with a floral ring around the sole, and with a short white pair of socks with a little lace around the ankle, Natti was wearing femininity as only a young teen girl could.

Somehow she seemed older but it wasn’t noticeable, rather it was everything taken together to make her seem that way.

Tara paid and they were carrying 4 bags each and stepped out and sat on some benches that ran down the center of the large walkway that separated it into two lanes. Tara wanted to stop so that she could call her mother. As she was finishing a very good-looking young man walked up and greeted her. She had just hung up with her mother and put her phone in her purse as she stood up and greeted the young man, “Lyle, hey how you doing? How is the private school life going?”

The young man said it was going good and that next year he will be a senior then he turned to Natti. “Do you attend the same school as Tara?” Tara jumped in and saved Natti, “Yes she does and we’d love to hang out and chat, but my mom is coming to pick us up in about 10 min and we still have to pick 2 more bags from a store that we were at earlier.” Lyle wasn’t about to let these two young ladies off that easy and said, “Here let us help you.”

He looked over behind him where there were 3 other young men standing in a group and called to one of them, “Hey Robby come over and help me escort these pretty ladies out.” As they walked out Lyle kept up a running conversation pointed at Natti with the usual, “Wow you bought a lot of clothes”, and “I guess being a friend of Tara’s you would need a lot of clothes.” Natti just muffled yes and no’s and kept her head down letting her hair hang down in front of her face running interference for her.

When they got to the lingerie store Tara told Natti to run in and pick up the two bags. She did and Violet was there and she smiled and commented on how sweet she looked and how the clothes changed her so much. She brought out the bags and sat them down and she leaned over and kissed Natti on her cheek. Natti thanked her and Violet told her the next time she came to the mall to please come by and say hello, even if she didn’t buy anything. She came out and the group started for the exit.

The two young men and the girls walked out and were greeted by the heat that seemed to smother you in humidity. They only had a short wait as Tara’s mom drove up and the purchases were loaded in the car.

Tara had them put Natti’s in the front seat and Tara got in the backseat just as Natti was getting in the car Lyle reached out and grabbed Natti’s hand which startled her and she looked straight at him and he said, “It was nice meeting you and I’d love to talk to you again, may I call you?”

Natti had no idea what to say and Tara called out from the backseat, “Oh Lyle leave the poor girl alone. I’ll talk to you later, we have to go now.” Natti got in smiling.
