Chapter 55: Karma POV

**“It is not a woman's outfit that makes her feel beautiful. But the underwear underneath.”-Domunique Harris**

“They are going to be occupied for a while. So, let's get started”, Dell said.
“Okay”, I said, nervous.
“You are size fourteen, right”, he said.
“Yes, how do you know?”, I asked.
“It is my job to know sweetheart”, Dell said with a laugh.

Dell showed me regular clothes, mostly dresses. And that is when I noticed the store only had dresses in it. Dell handed me a dress. Then he kept looking through the racks. Picking out random dresses. Not even asking me what I like.

“Here, try these on while I find you something to wear under them”, Dell said, walking me to the dressing room.

I put on the first dress he handed me. It is a woven mini-dress featuring a V-neckline, darted bust, tiered ruffled hem, side cutouts that extend to the back, 3/4 puff sleeves, and a self-tie back closure. Fuck I look hot in this. And the cutout does not even show my rolls. This is a must.

The next dress is a woven maxi dress featuring an allover floral print, plunging neckline picot trim, long peasant sleeves, tiered construction, column silhouette, back cutout, and a back slit with button-loop closures. It is sleek and elegant. Both of them are light to the touch.

“How are you doing honey?’, Dell asked.
“I like the first liked I tried on one I love. But why do all of the dresses have the back out?”, I asked.
“Because, my dear, the opening is just above the curve of your ass. Which is fabulous, by the way”, Dell said with a wink.
“These clothes are beautiful”, I said.
“Yeah, I specialize in old parishion's clothes. I always say stick with the classics. Any who pick what you want to keep and I will”, Dell said with a wink.
“Will do”, I said with a smile.
“I will be back with the next set of clothes”, he said happily.
“Next set?”, I asked.
“Yea, those are leisure clothes. And I can only assume that you are here for business and pleasure. And since I have no business clothes. Pleasure it is and I still need to figure out the underwear. It is the underwear that makes the outfit”, he said.
“Yes, Lance and Jake are my bosses”, I said, and Dell smiled.
“Due tell”, he said as he leaned in the doorway.

I took a deep breath and spilled the beans. I told him everything excluding the dry-humping session I had with Lance. Dell seems to be intrigued. Especially when I talked about my issues with Mike. I was having a hard time unbuttoning the dress I was
currently trying on. Dell helped me unbutton it.

“I do not know if you notice honey, but both of those men have got a thing for you”, he said.
“No, Lance has someone. And Jake is a playboy", I said.
“Well, a blind man can see how much they like you”, he said, then left me to finish up.

I tried on all of the clothes in the fitting room. He was right. I am going to take them all. Damn, this guy is good. I wonder if he has ever been a personal shopper. Dell came back with a semi-empty cart.

“I will take those. I assume you want them all”, he said.
“Yup, I will take them all”, I said, smiling.
“Well, put them in the kart and take these”, he said with a wink.

I watched as Dell did a happy dance as he walked to what I could only think is the register. Taking a look at the clothes he picked out, I frowned. These clothes are a little risqué for my taste, but Dell has not been wrong yet. The first item is a black textured lace bodysuit featuring a sweetheart neckline, padded bust with underwire, straight-cut back, side cutouts, adjustable cami straps, and a high-leg cut with snap-button closures. Looking at the rest of it I am confused. Well, until I saw the very short black tulle tutu.

Damn, I look good in this get-up. I will wear it to one of his BSM clubs. The next dress is a red woven dress featuring a sweetheart neckline, underwire, front cutout, adjustable cami straps, a straight-cut back, side and back ruching, a mini-length, bodycon silhouette, and a back zipper.

“Let me guess you are taking those as well”, Dell said with a smirk.
“You know it. So, what underwear did you find?”, I asked, excited to know what he picked out for me.
“Take these and see. I will take the rest to the register”, he said happily.

It seems like Danny brings me the same type of panties but in different colors. When I had better a closer look, I realized that the underwear is crotchless with a sheer-mesh front featuring bold cut-outs and a strappy butterfly open-back. Okay, these babies rock and surprisingly they are my size and fit perfectly.

On my way out of the dressing room, I saw a dress that would go great with my pyramid clutch I got from ethically head-turning. The dress is a white sheer floral lace knit bodysuit featuring a sweetheart neckline, adjustable cami straps, scalloped trim, structured padded bust, underwire, V-back cutout with dual strappy details and swan-hook closures, thong cut, and pull-on styling. Connected
Beyond it is a sky-blue knee-length tulle skirt.

“I see you found something yourself. I love your taste”, Dell said with a smile, holding a tray with tea and other treats.

Dell walked me to a corner of the store that had a small round table with chairs. We sat and ate finger food. Dell's last boyfriend broke his heart, so he broke his bank account and started this store. I asked him how he did that. He said that he was a kept man and his boyfriend had a joint account with him. Dell told me that he found his boyfriend getting oral sex from a woman in his office. Before he left him, he took all of his jewelry, went to the bank withdrew all of the money, and closed the account.
After he cleaned him out, he left America and came here.

“And he did not push charges?”, I asked, taking a bite of a macaron.
“He tried but the account was a joint want. I have the right to make a withdrawal. And as for the jewelry, they were gifts from him to me and me to him”, Dell said.
“Where are you from?’, I asked.
“I am from New Jersey”, he said.
“For real me too”, I said excitedly.
“Omg, which part?’, Dell asked.
“Passaic county”, I said, and Dell started clapping his hands.
“Me too. What city?”, he asked happily.
“I am from Paterson”, I said with a smile.
“I am from Pompton Lakes”, Dell said, smiling.

I asked him if he was seeing someone. He is not. I wonder if Jake goes both ways. I asked him if he was planning on going back to America any time soon. He said no and that just the thought of seeing his ex pissed him off.

“I am confused, so your ex-boyfriend cheated on you with a woman?’, I asked.
“Yeah, he has been with women and men. He tried to explain but I was over it”, Dell said.
“What was his excuse?”, I asked.
“He said she was his beard and that he had grown feelings for her. And did not know how to tell me about it”, he said.
“Wait for her was on the down low?”, I asked.
“Thats what is confusing about it. All of his family and friends knew we were together. I have been to birthday parties, weddings, anniversary parties. So, there was no reason for him to need a beard”, Dell said.
“Did you ever find out?”, I just had to ask.
“Yeah, at some point his brother informed me he needed a beard because the CEO of the place he works is old school. You know Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, ignorant shit”, Dell said with a shrug.
“Really in 2020, that shit is still a thing?”, I asked.
“He wanted the CEO position since he was retiring soon. And he took his beard to dinner parties with the CEO. All those late-night meetings he was with her”, Dell said, holding back tears.
“We can change the subject. Well, I am a stranger. You do not have to tell me your life story”, I said.
“No, but it is therapeutic for me”, he said.
“The funny part is he actually got the position and tried to contact me through his brother. What's funnier is that one year ago he married her and had a boyfriend on his side”, Dell said, laughing. I know that laugh all too well. It is a laugh to keep from crying.

“How did you find out?’, I asked. I am not sure why I am into his drama. Hell, his drama is better than mine.
“He e-mailed me and told me and asked me to still be his”, Dell said, shaking his head.
“And what did you say?”, I asked, surprised.
“I was never going to be his side bitch”, Dell said.

We both laughed and that was when my ass hole started to vibrate again. Fucking L, I am going to kill him when I see him. Dell is a cool guy. I told him a boutique like this would do good in America. Hell, I even offered to be his first investor. He said he would think about it.

“How let's go and see how much those sexy men are spending on you in this place today”, Dell said with a smile.

Dell rang me up and the total came up to two thousand and nine hundred Euros. It was three thousand fifty-eight dollars and fifty-six cents. He boxed and bagged everything and offered to have it sent to our hotel later today. Then he left to get Jake and
Lance. Both of them look relaxed.

“Damn someone's hand fun”, Jake said with a whistle.
“I am sure you guys enjoyed yourself as well”, Dell said with a smile focused on Jake.
“We sure did”, Jake said, pulling out his wallet to pay.
“Nope, I got it. Here Dell “, Lance said.
“Hey, I was thinking since Lance has a meeting tonight about how about Dell to show Jake and me the town”, I said with a smile.
“That is an excellent idea. And I know all the great holes in the wall. And Karma girl you can, but on the lacy number this hot mat just brought for you”, Dell said, and both Jake and Lance smiled at me.

Dell exchanged numbers with me and Jake. Jake told Dell to call him any time. And he did it with a grin. I gave Dell a wink before we left. Honestly, right now I am feeling tired. And if I am to go out tonight, I need to take a nap.
