His Aunt Nicole

[Simonssister]

Chapter 332.

Tim could hardly believe what had just happened to him.  In fact, the more he thought about it, the less he believed it.  Maybe they had touched him without realising.  Yes, they must have done.  Did they not feel him responding?  If it was accidental, what must they have thought of him?  Were they disgusted?  That would explain why they left so suddenly.  Why did he have to be so sensitive?  It wasn’t his fault, it was the latex.  It made him hyper-responsive.  Damn!  He would have to call Yvette
  If she didn’t reject his call.
“Are you coming in or what?”
“Miss!  Lend me my phone.  Quick!”
“Here
”
He dialled Yvette’s number.
“Hi.  It’s me.”
“Hi!  What’s up?”
“What happened just now
”
“What happened?”
“You know
  When we were saying goodbye
”
“Yeah
  And?”
“Didn’t you
notice anything?”
“Like what?  Oh, you suddenly wanted to leave while we were having our cuddle.  Why was that?  Did you just remember something?”
Tim thought fast.  They didn’t notice, then!  They actually didn't!
“Oh
  Oh, yeah, I just wanted to apologise.  Yeah, I just remembered I’d promised to ring someone, and I didn’t have my phone.  I know it was a bit rude.”
“Gosh Tim, it was nothing.  Forget it.  We can’t wait to see you next week.  I’m gonna arrange it with your aunt tomorrow.  It’ll be great!”
“Oh
yeah.  It will be.  I can’t wait either.”
“Well, gotta go
”
“Me too
”
“Bye then
”
“Bye Yvette
”

Relief flooded over him.  They hadn't even noticed!  He felt so stupid.   Serena was right.  He shouldn’t be so self-conscious.
“So, are you coming?”
“Sure
”
“I suppose you won’t wear your gloves
”
“No
  Wait
  Yes!  Yes, why not?”
“Oh, good.  They’ll look so nice.  They match your hat and your tie and your shoes.  Here, put them on.”
She fished them out of her bag.
“Cool
”
He pulled them on.  It felt sexy wearing his gloves. 
“Shall we go to our table?”
“Miss, I’m just going to the toilet
  And then do you mind if I say hello to my friends?”
“Take your time.  You know where I am.”
Serena walked away, smiling.  She knew what he was up to.  There were lots of new guests in the dining room, and he was eager to let everyone see his outfit, especially now he had decided to wear the gloves as well.  Little show-off!  She made her way to their table, which they were sharing with Imogen and Joshua, on the far side of the ballroom.  From there they’d have a good view of developments.

Tim hurried to the bathroom.  It was empty.  All he wanted to do was check himself in the mirror.  After a couple of poses he was satisfied.
“I should have worn my gloves from the beginning,” he murmured.  “They look super-smart with this white shirt.  Never mind.  I look cool, all right.  Okay.  Let’s go.” 
And with a smug grin he pushed open the door and headed for the entrance to the dining-room.

Chapter 333.

There was a female attendant by the door, a young woman in a crisp white blouse and smart black skirt.  She was well-disciplined, and the only reaction she showed was a slight widening of the eyes, which Tim registered and took for surprised admiration.
“Sir
”
She opened the door with a slight inclination of the head, which he took for respect, but which in fact served to hide an irrepressible grin.  He was feeling pleased with himself.  In full uniform, gloves and all, even those who had already seen him would pay attention.  He strode boldly into the crowded room, head erect, wearing a faintly superior smile.
This side of the ballroom was occupied mainly by guests who hadn’t been invited to the ceremony.  He passed casually between the tables, looking around as if searching for someone.  The buzz of conversation faded as he passed, replaced by a stunned silence, broken only by gasps, and a little cry of surprise from a woman somewhere behind him.  Ahead of him two women on adjacent tables had been chatting.  But when they saw him they stopped and stared, open-mouthed.  He gave one a friendly, condescending smile, and was about to pass on when she spoke.
“Are you
the pageboy?”
He stopped.  “I am, yes.”
“Oh
gosh
”  She fought back the urge to burst out laughing.  “We
we’ve heard so much
about you
  Now I see why.”  She blinked, and stared at his shorts.  “What an
incredible – I mean, absolutely amazing, outfit
  We’ve never actually seen a real pageboy in a real pageboy outfit.  Have we, Eileen?” she added, addressing the woman across the aisle.
“No, never
  What’s your name, young man?”
“I’m Tim.”
“You look
well, so smart.  Deborah told us to check you out
  I mean, to make sure we said hello
  Can I ask
  Your shorts
  Is that vinyl?”
They were clearly impressed.  And so were their neighbours, to judge by the clicking of camera shutters from the nearby tables.
“Latex, actually,” he said, proudly.  She looked closer, so he added,  “in fact, it’s the highest grade of natural latex you can get.  And the colours are very special.”
“They are
?”
“These colours will be trending next year.  The fashion house assures me next year will be dominated by purple and pink in combination.”
“Goodness!  Doris, make a note of that.  Thank you, Tim.  We’ll beat that in mind when we’re shopping for our new wardrobes.”
“No problem.”
“Could we
?  I mean, would you mind if we took a couple of snaps?  Perhaps a selfie?”
“Please, ladies.  It would be my pleasure.”
He could never have spoken like that before ESDS
or before Shirley.  He remembered how he had flunked Nicola’s first elocution class.  But now
  Not only was his outfit super cool, but he sounded classy and educated.  He no longer stammered, or felt lost for words.  He felt confident.  Everyone was so pleasant and friendly, especially the more knowledgeable, mature women.  Soon others were gathering round, complimenting him on his uniform.
“Tim, darling
  “ one asked politely, extending a hand towards his shorts, “would you mind if I
  They’re so well-tailored
”
“Not at all
”
She ran her fingertips down his flank.
“Laura.  Feel that seam.  Smooth as silk!  And the frills!  How on earth did they make them so perfectly regular?  Who did you say it was?”
“Fantastex.  You may have heard of them
”
“Yes, really amazing workmanship,”  added her friend, Laura, teasingly tracing the front seam downwards from his belt buckle with a bejewelled fingernail, stopping short and bestowing the sweetest smile on him when she felt him tense with alarm.  Soon ladies were queueing up to take photos, to chat and compliment him.  Some were terribly discreet, other less so.
“Now I know what all the fuss was about!” commented one lady in a flowery dress, bending forward to admire his shorts.  “What super little hot pants!”
Tim jibbed slightly at her calling them that.
“Well, they’re actually
”  (“Actually” was becoming one of his favourite “classy” words.) “
they’re actually proper pageboy shorts.  You can ask my outfitters, if you don’t believe me.  They’re not far from here
”
“Oh, really?
  Yes, I must go ask your outfitters, mustn’t I?”
The slight sarcasm was largely wasted on Tim’s swollen ego.
“Well Cynthia assures me that, to the best of her knowledge, this style of shorts is not available anywhere else in the country – and in latex, probably anywhere else in the world!”
He could have added “so there!” – but he just managed to stop himself.
Flowery dress decided to play along.
“Really?  I believe you.  I’ve never seen anything quite like them.  Have you, Tracey?”
“I don’t think I have.  Tim, darling
  Please tell us.  Where is Fantastex based?  I would love to get something as unique as that for my daughter.  I assume they do ladies’ clothing as well?”
This was all very gratifying.  “Of course.  I’d be delighted.  Actually my aunt – see that lady over in the corner in the blue dress – she’s looking at us now – she can give you their business card.”
“Oh, perfect.  Thank you.”
“Now if you’ll excuse me
  I think these ladies are next
”

Chapter 334.

There was quite a hubbub now – chattering, voices raised in delight, laughing.  Tim was in his element.  Everyone was so nice to him – friendly but respectful.  He posed by himself, relaxed, or hands on hips, or pointing at his shorts – there were quite a lot of requests for that – and of course everyone wanted selfies.  He seemed very quickly to have become the star of the proceedings.  He hoped he wasn’t stealing Deborah’s thunder.  He glanced over at her sitting at the top table.  She smiled and gave him a little wave.  No, she was clearly happy that he was such a hit.  She said something to Sebastian, at which he laughed and nodded, and gave him a thumbs-up.  Wow, this was great!  It was like being a rock star, or some sort of celebrity with a huge fan-club!

He was buttonholed by three ladies.  One of them, an elderly lady in a blue dress, congratulated him on his outfit.  She pointed at his shorts.  “I love the little frills – such a nice touch.”  One of the others asked him if he was for hire.  “My niece’s wedding is coming up in February.  If there’s any chance
”
“Oh, there may be.  You’d have to ask my aunt
  She does bookings and stuff
  Lady in blue
”
He pointed her out.  It wasn’t the first time he’d been asked, nor would it be the last. 
“Would you be able to wear, er, the same outfit, do you think?”
“Oh, possibly.  Though my outfitters is experimenting with some new colours, I believe.”
“How interesting.  Maybe we could even commission colours to match my daughter’s dress
”
“Maybe
”
“
or even discuss styles.  The wedding is costing us a fortune
  Really money would be no object if we could have something, you know, a little creative
”
“I’m sure anything’s possible if I’m free
”
“Super!  I’ll go an talk to your aunt
”
“Serena.  Serena Egerton.”
“Yes, we’ve got all the photos we wanted, girls?  Yes, let’s go.  Looks like some of the youngsters want to have a piece of you too!”

[Simonssister]

Chapter 335.

In an instant he found himself surrounded by a little group of teenage girls, all asking questions at once and snapping away with their phones.
“Your outfit’s so cool
”
“Can I have a selfie?”
“My mum thinks your great!  She said to ask you for your phone number
”
“Did she?  Does she want to make a booking?”
“Er
  Yes
”
“Because that would have to go through my aunt or ESDS.”
“Oh
  ESDS?  I don’t know
”
“They’re like, er, my manager
”
“Oh
I see
  But we I
I mean my mum
wants to call you about, er, something else
yes, about your uniform and stuff
”
“Oh.  Okay then.  Ready?”
She seemed very excited to have got his phone number
for her mum
  In fact they all seemed happy about it!
Another got him to sign the dinner menu.  Then they took it in turns to cuddle up to him while their friends took snaps.  One of them gave him a little heart ring which would just about fit on his little finger.  Another gave him one of her scrunchies.  It was great - even the kids appreciated his outfit.  He felt quite overwhelmed, and so happy. Not that he had ever felt really nervous, but in the event the whole day had been an even greater success than he could have hoped.

He needed a break.  Coffees were being served now, and a few couples had made their way onto the dancefloor.  He was hanging out on the edge when he was approached by a pretty blonde girl in a green dress.
“Hello.”
“Oh
hi
”
“Your Tim, aren’t you?  I know you are, because I’ve been waiting to talk to you.  You have a lot of admirers here.”
“Well, not really
”
“Oh, yes you do.  I’m one too.  And I’m going to be seeing a lot more of you in future, I believe.”
“You are
?  Who
?”
“I’m Robyn.  I’m Connie Brookshaw’s niece.”
“Connie
?  Oh!  Mrs Brookshaw!  Yes, I see
  I’ve haven’t actually met your aunt, but
”
“I know.  You will soon, though, won’t you?  Don’t worry, I’m not here to suss you out.  She’s already seen a picture.  She picked you out at once.  I can see why.”
Tim blushed.  Despite his swaggering, he felt flattered.  Robyn was really pretty.
“I’ve been talking to Serena.  She was saying she’s going to pick up some new pageboy outfits from that shop
”
“Fantastex?”
“Yes, Fantastex.  Also a couple of maid outfits for my aunt.  She has particular tastes, you know.  I’ve asked if I can come to the fittings, or at least the photo-shoot for the ESDS brochure.”
“Oh
”
“Wherever it is.  I gather that hasn’t been decided yet.”
“I see
”
“So I’ll look forward to seeing you there.  Take care, Tim dear
”
“Oh, yes
and you
”
She gave him the sweetest smile, turned, and rather abruptly walked away.

Chapter336.

He wasn’t alone for long.  At once he was surrounded by a group of women who had been waiting their opportunity to pounce.  He tried to make an excuse, by they were having none of it.  Emboldened by wine, they grabbed him, eulogising over his uniform, cuddling and virtually groping him, and demanding he pose for them and with them.  They only released him when their husbands and boyfriends came and marched them away.
“Don, we haven’t finished with our little toy-boy
  Please
”
“Oh yes you have, madam.  He’s a little too young for you and your mates.”
“But look at him
  He so cute
”
“Sorry, Tim
”
“That’s all right, sir
”

The celebrations went on long after the departure of the bride and groom.  It had been a long day though, and guests with young children started leaving about eight, and by ten-thirty most of the others were getting ready to leave, while the dedicated party animals were heading to the main hotel bar.  At last he could chill.  He stood on the dance floor watching the last few couples dancing.  Someone tapped him on the shoulder.  He turned.  A girl in a pretty pink dress, holding a pink helium balloon on a string.  She held out her hand.
“Hi.  I’m Esther. We have to leave now, but I didn’t want to go before I’d said hello.”
“The balloon
”
“It was meant for the happy couples car, but they drove off before I could tie it on.  So I thought of you.  It would go well with your pretty hot pants.”
“They’re not
”
“Go on, take it.  See?  You look even more like a sweet little boy.  Stand there so I can take a snap.  There.  Now, let’s have a selfie.”  She stood beside him.  “Smile, Tim.  Cool.”
She was so open and charming, Tim almost fell for her on the spot.
“Who
?”
“I told you.  Esther.  Esther Shilling.  I have to go.  But don’t worry – we’ll meet again soon.  I got your number from one of my friends, and I’ve been talking to Miss Egerton.  I already know quite a bit about you, little boy.”  She wrinkled her nose and giggled teasingly.
“You can’t call me that.  I’m older than you
”
“Only in body
  Bye Tim.”  She gave him a mischievous look, flicked her hair, turned and skipped away.  He looked after her.  He almost called to her.  Instead he frowned.
“That’s the second time tonight I’ve been abandoned,” he said to himself.  “Each time before I’d said what I wanted to say, each time by a pretty girl
  Damn
”

Tim had been sipping champagne for most of the evening, and that, combined with the warmth of the room, the constant attention, and the hugs, kisses and cuddles of departing friends and acquaintances, were having their effect.  He could feel growing pressure in his shorts.  He smoothed the hot latex with one hand – the one not holding the balloon.  There was a little bulge just to the right of the centre seam, swelling and firming slowly but inexorably.
“Time to go
”
“There you are!”  It was Serena.
“Miss, can we go?”
“I was just about to say
  Get rid of that balloon, and
”
“No.  I want to keep it.”
She laughed.  “Okay.  You do look sweet holding it.  Let me get a quick piccy
”

They went to the car.
“You look tired.  I’ll put the seat down.  You can sleep if you want.  Where did you get the balloon?  Was it that girl in pink?  It was, wasn’t it?  Very pretty.  Who is she?”
“Dunno.  Her name’s Esther
”
“Okay.” 
She leant across him, pulled his seatbelt over, and clipped it home.  She started the engine.  “We can take our time.  Just rest, Tim.  You’ve had a busy day.”
She started the Porsche and pulled out of the hotel car park.
“Miss
?”
“Yes, Tim?”
“When will I get to see Bobby?  I really miss him
”
“Oh, I’m not sure
  Soon, though.”
“Couldn’t we call in at the stables one day?”
“Well, it’s going to be a busy week.  Fittings, photo-shoot, getting ready for Mrs Brookshaw
”
“Where’s the photo-shoot gonna be?”
“Not sure
  Well, I suppose it might be possible
”
“Yeah?”
“To have it at the stables.  If the weather’s okay.”
“Could we?  That would be great.  I could see Bobby.”
“I’ll ask mum
  Don’t see why not.  It would be a great location
”
“Do
  Please
”
He leaned back, eyes half-closed.  He was still holding the balloon string.  She noticed his other hand crept onto the front of his shorts.  After a while he began slowly, surreptitiously kneading the bulge.  Occasionally there was a faint squelching sound, and he would stop for a few seconds, then, believing Serena had not noticed, he would continue.  She smiled.  “Naughty boy,” she thought.  “But he must be feeling so horny after spending a day in his little rubber pants being pawed by all those women
  Go on, darling, enjoy
  Don’t hold back
”
And he didn’t.  They were less than five minutes from ESDS when he suddenly tensed, moaned, bit his lip, and shuddered to an ill-concealed climax.  Serena grinned, muttering under her breath, “I think you needed that, darling”

[Simonssister]

Chapter 337.

They let Tim sleep in that Sunday.  It was the last day of November.  The women were all in the breakfast room.  Over coffee, Serena related the events of the previous day to the others, and showed them such pictures as she had manged to take.
“So you would say he was a success?” asked Cassandra.
“Mum, he was a fuc-king hit!  I’m telling you, he was, like, the main attraction!  I have a list of names and phone numbers of people who want to hire him.  And Deborah was delighted, not only with his performance in church, but in the way he entertained her guests.  “They won’t forget my wedding for a while,” she said to me.  No, you should be proud of him.  And he was really enjoying himself, too.  You should have seen the way he was showing off to all the ladies.”
“Excellent
  And did he manage to stay, shall we say, well-behaved?”
Serena laughed.  “Yes, right up until we were about to leave.  He was so focussed on pleasing all his admirers, I don’t think he had time even to consider pleasuring himself!”
“Good boy.  This opens up a whole new role for him.  Text me that list, won’t you?  I should start making a calendar.”
“So what’s happening this week?” asked Priscilla.
“So Cynthia tells me the new stuff will be in Wednesday afternoon,” said Cassandra.  “We can collect it Thursday first thing and do the photoshoot.”
“That’s for the new brochure, right?” asked Nicola.
“Yes
  And anything else.  We’ve got limited space in the brochure, but we can put multiple photos on the website for people to choose from.”
“Mum
about the photoshoot
”
“Yes, dear?”
“Have you got a venue in mind?”
“Well, I was thinking of the park
  There’s a play area there, with a climbing frame.  There shouldn’t be many people about on a Thursday
”
“I was wondering.  Tim’s desperate to see Bobby.  I was thinking maybe the stables would be a good place, and he and Bobby could get together after we were done.  Actually there’s quite a nice play area there, if you wanted one, behind the new stable block.”
Cassandra thought for a moment.  “That’s a brilliant idea, Serena.  It would work perfectly.  It’s near Fantastex.  And there’d be a few girls about to add a bit of atmosphere.  I’ll ask Violet today.  I’m sure she’ll agree.”
“He’ll be so happy, mum.  By the way, today’s his official day off, yeah?”
“Well, it was supposed to be.  But Violet’s already had some feedback from her friends, and she’s asked to see him today, all dressed up in his pageboy uniform.  I hope he won’t be disappointed
”
“He’ll be happy!  He’ll be able to hang out with Bobby today as well!  Oh, here he is
”
 A very sleepy-looking Tim had pushed open the door of the breakfast room, and was standing there in his pyjamas blinking and rubbing his eyes.
“A piece of him, anyway,” she added, with a smile. 
“He looks so cute in his new PJs,” grinned Doreen.
“Tim!” cried Cassandra.  “Come in, darling.  I’ve just been hearing all about yesterday.  Well done!  You were a great success.  Come and sit down.  What would you like to eat?  Tell Margaret and she’ll make it for you.”
He was still tired, but hungry too.
“M-maybe a few pancakes,” he said, weakly.
“Maple syrup, Tim?” asked Margaret.
“And lemon juice
”
“Coming up!”

[Simonssister]

Chapter 338

Tim was allowed to have a quiet morning, and the expedition to Pitt’s Wood didn’t take place till after lunch, by which time not only Mrs Egerton but also Miss Poole had received several phone calls from friends and acquaintances who had attended the wedding congratulating them on their student – and enquiring about his availability for various upcoming events, amongst which Christmas parties figured prominently.  But they made no promises, being in a position to pick and choose their customers.  Cassandra rang her at one to let her know Tim was on his way.
“Really, Violet, you picked a winner when you took on our little boot boy.  Turns out he’s probably one of the most versatile of this year’s intake.  The possibilities are endless
”
“So it seems, Cassandra.  And it looks like Connie Brookshaw’s going to exploit some of them to the full, given the range of outfits she’s ordered.”
“Yes, I know.  I’ve confirmed we’ll be paying half.  There’s a couple she wants to retain for later visits, but we can share the rest.  I must say she’s quite an imaginative woman
”
They shared a quiet chuckle.

Tim arrived with Serena about one-thirty.  As they walked up the path from the car park there was quite a crowd milling about at the top of the field, with much laughing and chattering.  He frowned, puzzled.  Then a gap momentarily opened up, and he caught a glimpse of a little shiny pony in its midst.  At the same moment he realised what was going on, and gave a snort of laughter.
“Oh!  Silly me.  I’d forgotten what Bobby gets up to on Sunday afternoons.”
Serena smiled.  “Of course!  Pony rides.  Looks likes they’re a great success, anyway
   Poor Bobby
”

A girl in riding outfit was standing on the stable path.  As they made their way towards the offices, she advanced and called out.
“Hi Tim!”
He turned.  “MĂ©lisande!  How are you?  You look great!”
“I’m good, Tim.  How are you?  Wow, is that your pageboy uniform?  Fantastic!  I heard you were a big hit at the wedding.  I think Bobby was quite jealous.”
“Really?  I thought he preferred dresses.”
“He does!  I saw some pictures of the wedding.  From his reaction I think he would have liked to be a bridesmaid.”
“Oh, I see.  Maybe next time
”
“Yes, you should work together.  I don’t think you’ll be able to talk to him today.  He’s working till five, poor thing.  And I took him for a long hack this morning.  And you know how cranky he gets when he’s tired.”
“Oh, dear.  I hope he won’t curse at any of his riders
”
“No, he won’t,” she laughed.  “Cos I put on his ball gag, so he can’t complain no matter what they do to him!”
“You did?”
“Oh, yes.  Now I’m totally in charge of him.  I train him, tack him up, everything.  My friends help sometimes.”
“Amazing!  How does he react?”
“He’s totally obedient now – ‘specially since we decided that so many people knew who he was, that we might as well dispense with the masks.  Now he’s afraid of what we might do next if he doesn’t behave!  So everyone knows Bobby the Pony is Bobby Tucker, and there’s nothing he can do about it.  He’s like a docile little colt.  When I put on his shiny red ball-gag all I have to say is “good boy, open wide” and he opens his mouth at once.”
“Gosh,” gasped Serena, “I’m impressed, Mellie.  When you’re a bit older I’m going to recruit you to ESDS.”
“ESDS
?”
“My boy-training company.  You can help train Tim, too.”
“Ooh, yes please
”
“No,” said Tim, emphatically.  “Definitely not.”
Serena gave her a secret wink. 
“We’re popping in to see Miss Poole.  She wants to congratulate Tim on his success.  But we’ll be back on Thursday if you’re around.  Tim’s photo-shoot.”
“Yeah, come along if you can, Mellie,” said Tim.  “I’m getting some great new outfits, I hope
”
“I’ll ask my mum.  But after you’ve seen Miss Poole, come down to the stables and watch Bobby doing his pony rides.  It’s such fun!”
“Okay!  See you in a bit, then
”
