Ella was the type of girl that men flocked to; she was tall and slender, with long blond hair and sparkling blue-green eyes that looked like the Pacific Ocean. She also had that confident that most rich girls had and she was irresistible to men. Sophie never stood a chance with any guys in college because they all wanted to be with Ella. But she didn’t mind as her thoughts were always with another. Sophie sighed. She was starting to feel like a bit of a loser. She’d only ever casually dated and she had never had sex. Not that she wanted to sleep with any of those silly college guys; not after she’d seen what a real man looked like.
She closed her eyes and thought back to that evening the last time she had stayed at the Van Harkel’s. Not only had she seen Maxwell making out with some girl, she had also spied him in the shower. It had been late at night and she had stumbled into the bathroom to wash her face just as he had been stepping out of the shower in all his glory. She could still picture his magnificent penis in her mind, it had looked long and thick and wonderful. And she blushed just thinking about it.
Bang. Bang. Ella barged into her room without waiting for an answer to her knocks. “Want to go out tonight?” She questioned Sophie before flopping down onto her bed. “I’m bored already.”
“Where are we going to go El?” Sophie looked away from the mirror and sighed, exasperated at her friend and propensity to easy boredom. “It’s not like we are in the big city anymore.”
“We can go back into town. There’s a small pub there.” Ella looked at Sophie eagerly. “Judging by the amount of women Max picks up down there, there should be plenty of guys.”
“Max picks up girls there?” Sophie was surprised. She figured all the girls Max got were from the city or daughters of other millionaire’s who had family homes in Winterside.
“Oh, he gets girls everywhere. Look at him.” Ella laughed and jumped up. “Tonight we are going to go out and paint the town red.”
“Uh sure.” Sophie groaned. “I didn’t even bring any party clothes.”
“I have plenty. You can wear something of mine.”
“Ella, I love you but you are size 2 and I am size 8. Not much that you own will fit me.” Sophie laughed. “Plus, I have a bust and you are as flat as a pancake.”
“Hey, no need to insult me.” Ella laughed. “Let’s go check out my wardrobe and see what I have.”
“Okay.” Sophie followed her friend out of the room and sang along with her as they walked to Ella’s room. “Tonight’s going to be a good night.”
“What are you two hooligans singing about?” Maxwell stepped out in the corridor and Sophie gasped. He was standing in a pair of basketball shorts with no shirt on. She could see that he had a thin mat of hair on his chest and she wanted to run over and rub his chest to see how smooth it is.
“Nothing dear bro. Sophie and I are going out tonight and we are checking out some outfits.”
“Oh yeah?” He looked at Sophie and winked. “Maybe I’ll come as well.”
“Won’t we be cock blockers?” Ella laughed and Maxwell groaned.
“Ella, where do you get your language from?” He rolled his eyes at her. “And no, I’d love to spend the night with my sister and her best friend. I can make sure that you guys don’t get into any trouble.”
“Oh no.” Ella groaned. “You’re going to cock block me.”
“You have a cock dear sis?” He raised his eyebrows and Sophie laughed at him.
“You’re gross, you know that.” Ella hit him in the arm. “Anyways, how should we dress? I’ve never been to the pubs in town.”
“This may be the country but people still need to look nice girls. Dress as you wish. We can grab dinner there as well. I’m going to hop in the shower now. We can leave in about 2 hours.”
“Yay.” Ella squealed with happiness and hugged her brother. “Sometimes I love you big bro.”
“And sometimes I love you two dweeb.”
“And sometimes I think you both act like you are 15 years old.” Sophie interrupted them and they all laughed.
“I know that none of the board of directors would have faith in me if they saw me and Ella’s interactions.” Max laughed. “But I guess you never grow out of teasing your little sister.”
“Who can resist me?” Ella twirled around and Sophie pushed her into the room.
“Okay, what clothes do you own that will kind of fit me?” All of a sudden Sophie was excited to go out. She had a plan forming in her mind and she didn’t want to analyze it too closely. She was hoping that Max would see her all gussied up and would be unable to resist himself. She felt her heart racing just thinking about it. Her and Max, rolling around on the ground. His strong arms around her, his lips firm on hers, his hands on her breasts. She felt giddy just thinking about it.
“So what about this?” Ella interrupted her daydreams. “Earth to Sophie.”
“Oh sorry.” Sophie grabbed the dress from Ella’s hands and looked at it carefully. “I’m not sure if this will fit me but I guess I can try. Any other dresses that I can try on?”
Ella handed her 2 more dresses and Sophie went into her bathroom to try them on. “Okay, cross your fingers that at least one of these fits and doesn’t make me look like a skank.”
“You’ll be fine Sophie.” Ella turned back to her closet to decide what she was going to wear.
“Yeah. We’ll see.” Sophie studied the dresses in her hand. The first one was sparkly silver that was more appropriate for a 70’s disco. She was not sad when the dress would not even slide over her hips. The second dress seemed more promising, it was a simple black dress and she slid it on eagerly, hoping that it would fit.
“Argh.” She groaned as she looked down at herself. The dress barely fit. It was extremely snug and short. It barely covered her ass and she felt like her boobs were popping out. It was definitely not a dress made for a girl with curves and boobs. The cut of the straps also made it so she wouldn’t be able to wear a bra. Sophie groaned again. She wanted to catch Maxwell’s eye but she didn’t want him to think she was the local hooker. She pulled the dress off and tried on the next one. It was a slinky red and she was able to slip it on easily. She looked at herself in the mirror. The dress looked awful on her, something about the cut emphasized all the wrong parts of her body. She’d never seen her ass look soo huge.
“How’s it going Soph?” Ella called out, while singing along to the music blasting out of her iPod.
“Okay.” Sophie sighed. It was going to have to be the black dress then. One way or the over she was going to have someone noticing her tonight. There was no doubt in her mind. “Are you sure you have no other dresses that may fit me?” Sophie popped her head out of the bathroom door and cringed. “These are all way too small for me.”
“Sorry Sophie.” Ella frowned. “Will none of them fit?”
Sophie sighed. “I guess I’ll wear the black one then. Argh.”
“You’ll look great. Let me do your makeup.”
“Uh ok.” Sophie was scared at what Ella was going to do to her face. She usually wore very simple makeup and didn’t think Max was going to be attracted to a scarecrow. “Just don’t make me up too much Ella, I don’t want to look like I have a black eye please.”
“That was only once Sophie. And it was your fault, you rubbed your eye and the mascara and eyeliner became a big blob.”
“I looked like a hot mess Ella!” Sophie growled at her friend. “Just make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
“Yeah, yeah. Go shower and change and come back here when you are done.”
“Yes boss.” Sophie ran out of the room laughing. She and Ella were more like sisters than best friends. She bit her lip as she walked to her room; she wasn’t sure what was going to happen when they graduated. She was scared to lose her best friend, the person closest to her in the world. She honestly didn’t know how she was going to survive without Ella there to talk to everyday.
“Hey Sophie, a penny.” The low voice behind her made her jump. “Hey, it’s just me.” Maxwell put an arm around her shoulder. “No need to jump.”
