An hour later Henry found himself in the little black dress Alicia had bought yesterday. He was standing behind his wife at reception playing the mute sister as she extended their stay at the resort. He was acutely aware of how short this dress was. It only came down to mid-thigh. Henry could feel the eyes of strangers looking at him. He was glad he was wearing the shapewear Alicia had bought yesterday. He was relieved to hear the receptionist that there was no trouble extending their stay and that they could remain in their same suite. They went off to breakfast quite relieved.
Alicia had offered Henry to borrow some of her jewellery and for whatever reason Henry had accepted her offer. He had gone for the black and gold look, he wore a gold necklace and bangles on each arm as well as Alicia's gold wristwatch. He thought he looked quite stylish. As 'Rachel' he was going without a scarf (to hide his Adam's apple) for the first time. Alicia had convinced him that it was not needed. No-one could possibly mistake him for anything other than a woman.
Henry felt like the unobtainable goddess as he was leered at during breakfast. He played up to his puppies, even picking up a napkin and pretending to wipe drool off the face of one of his dance partners he recognised from the previous night. Giving the young man a close up look at his magnificent cleavage.
Alicia in contrast, perhaps concious of her large arms, even though they were covered, was more cimcumspect, leaving 'Rachel' to do the flirting on her own. She felt down. She had been a fool not to keep track of time when they were dancing. She should not have relied on Rachel who had earlier proved she was incapable of holding her liquor. Now they were stuck as they were for an extra day. Alicia watched her sister flirting with a table of guys. The quicker that Rachel reverted to Henry the better as far as Alicia was concerned. He was enjoying being Rachel a little too much. She had to admit that the shapewear had been a good idea. There was no way any of those guys could possibly guess what Rachel was packing down below.
As they ate Alicia suggested ‘How about we go for a drive to a remote beach and maybe we could have a swim?’ Henry smiled agreement
Alicia did the driving, but not before Henry extended the car hire. The rental company made them pay for a new car hire so they had to pay a rate for 3 days. That was almost as much as the two week hire they had already made. Just as well they didn’t want for money.
They drove to the western side of the island. Henry didn’t try to be anyone other than ‘Rachel’ They found a remote beach with no-one else in sight and Henry wore Alicia’s black, one piece bathing costume over his shapewear. Alicia wore her bikini. It did look like she had tuckshop lady arms but Henry knew better than to point that out. Up close someone might look twice at their bodies but from a distance there would be no worries.
They stopped and had a long leisurely lunch at another restaurant with views over the ocean. Henry back in the little black dress felt very relaxed and flirted with the attractive male waiter. He had decided that his situation was fate. Ruing what had happened would not make it better.
Alicia had not put her jacket back on after the swim. The waiter didn’t make any comment about her arms and indeed only seemed to have eyes for Rachel’s chest.
Alicia wasn’t sure when she started thinking of Henry exclusively as ‘Rachel’. It was hard to see much of her husband in the attractive young woman sitting across from her. She was not used to someone else getting more attention than her but Rachel was currently the sole focus of not only the waiter but also that group of men across the room. Perhaps she should not have lent Rachel her jewellery. She looked good enough without it and that shapewear certainly gave her a good figure. Alicia didn’t know it but she was jealous.
They stopped at several other scenic spots on their circuit around the western half of the island. They ended up sharing the driving as the circuit took a lot longer than they had initially planned. If they were pulled over whoever was driving could be the owner of Alicia’s licence.
They were happy to have room service once they were back at the resort. It had been a long day. Much to Henry’s disappointment Alicia showed no interest in sex that night. Indeed she was apparently asleep already when Henry climbed into the bed beside her after removing his wig and make-up.
