His To Claim

her. I collapsed on my bed without bothering to wash up or take off my clothes, I was that tired. All the joints in my body ached. The commute from Philip's house to my workplace every

Judy was lively and bubbly but when it came to issues that were fashion related, she could become another person entirely. "What were you saying?" I asked in a subdued voice, trying to pacify her. "This" she said pushing a red dress into my hands "what do you think of it? Your skin is pale so it would go well with it". "It's pretty" I replied, knowing that my less than enthusiastic reply would irritate her. She looked at me like she was about to murder me for a few moments before pushing me into the changing room. The dress had spaghetti straps and alot going on in the belly region. It stopped a little below my knees and had a slit on both sides of it. It was pretty as I said before but people like Judy who worshipped clothes did not think pretty was a good enough compliment.

I couldn't blame them, Judy had once joked about having seven kids (which I think is a good idea, if only for the purpose of filling the mansion up), and if they wanted that amount of children, they had better start trying. *** *** *** Sunday came very quickly. Judy spent the greater part of the day doing my hair and makeup such that when I looked in the mirror, I almost couldn't recognize myself. "You must be a magician. My face is so spotless" I said admiring myself. I had to give it to Judy, she was good at these things. "I know, right?". She helped me into my dress, even though I could well have done that myself. I didn't need to wonder why she was trying so hard to make me attractive for the dinner. She hoped that some Prince charming would fall in love with me at first sight. "Hurry up, Philip is waiting" she said, watching me wear the heels she reluctantly gav
