Chapter 32: In There Somewhere
Chapter 32: In There Somewhere
I started to get out of the tub, and Mei turned around and faced away from me. I had finally got comfortable enough to stop worrying about her looking, and now she turns away? What did those two women do to her?
I grabbed a towel that was folded and then quickly dried off. I covered up with the towel and then realized that I didn't have clean clothes to put back on. I would have to see what there was in the room.
"Mei, you can turn around now. When did you get so polite?"
"Your mom told me that I shouldn't look at your private areas unless you say I can. When she explained it to me I understood a bit better, so I will try to not look."
"Well, I am glad, let's go see if I can find something to wear," I said to Mei, and I lightly pushed her into the bedroom.
"I brought some clothes up, but I left them In the other room. Lesha thought you might need them and got some. I'll be right back!" Mei said, running out of the room.
That was a thoughtful woman, I would have to thank her tonight for that. Mie came back and handed me a small pile of black and red cloth. What the hell was this? And where was the rest of it?! I heard two sets of footsteps coming up the stairs, both light, stepping with the front of their feet so they didn't make as much noise, good.
I waited for the pair of culprits, still holding out the one-third of a dress at arm's length like a poisonous snake. It wasn't horrible, red with a ribbon corset in the front that was the same black as the thread and edging. The parts I didn't like were that the back was open and the part that would cover my ass, would only cover that part of my body, precisely. So, if I even sneezed, I would be flashing the world!
"So, what do you think of the new dress? I was a little skeptical about it at first, but Healia assured me that it would somehow stay on, and you won't flash people," Lesha said as she walked into the room.
Leana must have stayed in the other room, knowing that I wouldn't put this on yet. Was I really going to put on this scrap of cloth? I looked at Lesha, and that was the wrong move, the pleading look, and those blue eyes. It was always the wrong move to look at her if I was making a decision about something I didn't want to make!
"Fine, I will try it on, but you had better have brought me normal clothes! Something tells me I won't like this, but, I will try it."
Lesha came over and whispered something into my ear that made my knees weak, and I could feel my face start to heat up as Lesha pulled away with a victorious smile.
"What are you going to do with your tongue?!" I asked with shock, embarrassment, and a strong urge to hear her say it again, but all I got was a wink and a wave of the hand to hurry up.
That wasn't fair! What was I a pet trying to get a reward?
I dropped my towel and slipped into the dress that seemed to hug the curves of my body and me perfectly. I was still worried about the bottom parts sticking out, but I looked at Lesha and she was giving me an overly friendly smile that made me pull the front of the dress down if it could be called that!
"Mmm, looks good on you, and don't worry, it's all dark under there. I don't know how or why, but look," Lesha said as she came over and lifted the front of my skirt.
"HEY!"
"Don't be like that, just look!"
I looked down, and Lesha was right. It was all darkness, black as night, and Lesha dropped the dress, but then came forward and gave me a kiss. At the same time, the devil slipped her fingers between and slid them up making me give a slight moan into her mouth. Lesha pulled back enough just to separate our lips.
"Just cause I can't see doesn't mean I can't touch!"
I was about to give her shit about Mei being in the room, but after looking around I realized that Mei wasn't in the room. I gave Lesha a quick kiss and then looked her up and down at her tomboy clothes. Well, they were my clothes, but if I was going to wear a dress I would be getting one for her!
"Let's head down, I want to talk to Leana and dad together about this before the rest of the people come back from the dungeon."
The two of us headed out of our room and into the office/sitting area. This place was really nice, but I wasn't sure what I was going to do with my dad. Maybe he might want to move into the guild, there would be extra rooms.
Leana's smile split her face and she had tears in her eyes. I had to use all of my willpower not to roll my eyes, this was Leana's dream to see me in a dress.
"K! You look so beautiful in that dress! Oh, wait till your father sees you!" Leana said through her tears coming over to give me a hug.
"Oh yeah, I imagine he will have so much to say. Now he's probably never going to look at me again!"
"Don't be like that, silly, you might be surprised. We talk a lot about you, you know? Let's go down to show him! Oh, I am just so excited to see his reaction!"
I didn't know what the hell this woman was talking about. My father was not going to get all wishy-washy like she was. Honestly, I didn't think he would even be able to look at me with all the skin I had a showing. I was even scared to see my reflection, but I followed them downstairs anyways.
Healia and my father were talking and his back was turned, but when Healia stopped talking and smiled up at me, he turned around. The breath caught in my throat as I saw my father's big warm smile, and his eyes filled with tears. When my father opened his arms to me I felt like a little girl again as I ran and threw my arms around him, with him hugging me back.
"I knew my little girl was in there somewhere. A little short, but your mother would have thought you looked beautiful."
