The Internship Chapter 5

The next morning I kissed Kerri and Jan goodby The three of us had to work together the next day. I had a few things left to take care of before I drove to Valencia, California.

An hour after the girls left my phone buzzed. It was Sheila for a FaceTime call. I brushed my hair quickly and answered the call.

Hi Sheila!

Hi Jackie! I love your hair! Did you get your eyebrows done? Wait did you pierce your ears?

Yes ma'am! If it's a problem I can take them out!
I put my hand up to my earlobe without thinking about my nails.

I love your nails! Sheila said. No, your ears are lovely! I like the nose stud too! You look put together! How are the things I sent you working out? Sheila asked.

Great! I'm down to a size 4 and I lost all my body hair. My 5 o'clock shadow is completely gone now too! I exclaimed!

That's great. I'm glad everything is working out for you! The reason I called. I want you to call me when you leave and every night when you stop and when you get on the road. I want to make sure you're safe! Sheila said.

I meant to ask, do I need to buy any furniture or anything like a microwave or a TV? I asked.

The apartments are fully furnished! Every room has Wi-Fi and high-speed cable Internet. The only thing you'll need is a streaming stick for your TVs!

TVs? I asked.

Every apartment has at least two, one in the bedroom and one in the living room. You can decorate it anyway you want to, within reason, at your expense. Sheila explained.

I have several suits, will I need anything else clothing-related? I asked.

Buying a couple of pantsuits or a skirt suit or two wouldn't be a bad idea. If you are going to purchase anything, I recommend some nice heels. Don't buy too much. We have our own clothing lines. We will provide you with clothes, shoes, toiletries, and salon services. Just about anything you can think of will be provided for you. You might think about getting a swimsuit and maybe a bikini or two. If you go over the limit on the card, don't worry about it. Just save your receipts. Sheila said Just don't go wild with it.

When she mentioned Pantsuits and Skirt Suits, I was a little surprised, but I didn't discard the idea. My slacks were a little too tight around my butt and the waist was a bit loose. The bikini idea was a shock but again I didn't dismiss it, don't ask me why!

For some unexplained reason, I was getting very comfortable with my new Metro style. I did some research on social media and found out Metro is the newest fashion trend for business fashion. More and more employers were encouraging Metro business fashions as a way to combat the stressful environment of the corporate world.

Two nights before I left, I asked Jan if she wanted to go shopping with me and maybe have dinner. She accepted. I was excited to see her one last time before I left.

We went casual, I wore my skinny jeans with my sneakers. I wore a half tank top with a Cami underneath it. I loved showing off my stomach and navel jewelry.

Jan and I went straight to the women's department at Macy's. They had a huge sale on DKNY Women's fashions. Grace helped us. I got two double-breasted Pantsuits in bright blue and dark gray. I bought two pencil skirt suits in light blue and fuchsia pink. Grace talked me into two Blazer dresses black and Violet. Jan helped me pick out stockings and garter belts for everything. I went a little over on the company card.

With the encouragement of Grace and Jan, I bought two thong bikinis and two Speedo one-piece swimsuits with matching caps for my hair. I also bought two pairs of open-toed slides for the pool and at home.

I took Jan to Red Lobster for dinner. We chatted about my new adventure and career. Jan was 22 and in her last year of college before getting her bachelor's degree in Marketing.

You know if things work out for me at Seirens, I'd be happy to give you a referral! I said.

I might do that! But graduation is still a year away! She said.

We went back to my apartment. Jan and I made love again. She taught me how to please her. My tongue worked overtime! She taught me so many different ways to please your partner, I actually thought about taking notes!

We made love in the morning before she left! I felt like we were breaking up! But I knew better. She made me promise to stay in touch. I invited her to call me anytime, especially if she was in the LA area. She promised she would.

It was my last day in my apartment. I spent all day cleaning, vacuuming, and dusting. I cleaned the oven and defrosted the freezer. I went to bed early that night. I wore my light blue babydoll nightie. I slept like a baby.

The next morning, I put on my skinny jeans, white and sneakers, and a half-tank top and Cami. I went to the office, dropped my keys in the drop box, and I was off! I stopped at a Speedway and gassed up the Tahoe. I sent Sheila an email that I was on my way. I had four days to get there.

I drove north on I-65, got on I-70, and headed West. The navigation system said 16 hours to Denver. It was 5 am when I got on the road after my gas station stop. I drove slower before the traffic started building up. My mom's old Tahoe was dependable but it sucked down the gas. I stopped once I filled the tank. Thank goodness for the credit card, it was $100 to fill the tank.

I was about 100 miles outside of Denver. I stopped at a Holiday Inn Express do the night. The next morning, I was up at 4:30. After a quick shower and breakfast, I was on the road at 5:10. I emailed Sheila every step of the way.

She said she couldn't wait for me to get there. I was able to watch the sun rise behind me and light up the Rocky Mountains. I got on the I-225 south and connected with the I-25 south to the I-40 West. I made it through Albuquerque, New Mexico just before rush hour. I made it to Holbrook, Arizona, and stopped for the night. I've spent almost $400 on gas alone. I stayed at a Comfort Inn for the night.

I got on the road. I turned south onto the I-17 south, a little over an hour on some very beautiful and curvy highway. I was in Phoenix, Arizona, and headed West. I stopped in Riverside, California for the night. The next morning I was on the road to Valencia, California. I told Sheila I would call her when I arrived in Valencia.

Sheila was waiting at the gate when I arrived.

Sheila hugged me like a friend. I hugged her back.

I'm so happy you're here! I've got so much to show you! She exclaimed. How was your trip? She asked.

Smooth and uneventful! I smiled at her. I'm really excited to be here! I said.

You look fabulous! I love your new look! You're going to fit in great here!

I hope I didn't overdo it!

You're perfect! I love your outfit!

Thanks, for some reason my old jeans don't fit right anymore. So I had to buy a few things. I'm happy to pay for any overage on the card.

You worry too much! Sheila said.

I showed the guard my badge and he took a security wand over my stuff. After I was cleared Sheila rode with me. She led me to my new apartment. We rode up the elevator to the 3rd floor. My apartment was at the end of the hall.

Home sweet home! Apartment 312. Sheila said.
Sheila opened the door. It was beautiful!

This is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment! You might get a roommate, but right now we have several apartments open, so I doubt you'll have one for a while! She said.

I'm one floor up in 412! Sheila said. Let me give you a quick tour and then I'll help you unpack!

The apartment was a corner apartment. It was more like a nice condo! The walls were painted a dusty yellow with gloss white trim. There was a wrap-around balcony overlooking the pool and the Quad. The floors were hardwood. The kitchen and bathrooms had marble countertops and ceramic tile floors. The shower had a steam feature and an overhead shower head. There was a separate Jacuzzi tub next to it and a door that connected to my bedroom

The apartment was 1400 square feet. The living room had a 75-inch flat screen TV, and the bedroom had a 65-inch TV. Side-by-side refrigerator with an ice machine. All of the appliances and fixtures were stainless steel. There was a ceiling fan in every room except the bathrooms.

The furniture was minimalist, Leather and chrome. The dining area was a simple oak table that sat six. It took Sheila and me an hour to unload and two hours to unpack and put everything away.

Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch, and then we can walk around a bit.

Lunch was buffet style, and we both made salads. We walked through the quad and pool area. We walked to the recreation center and then by the library. Sheila showed me where to report for orientation on Monday morning.

Do you play tennis? Sheila asked.

A little, I'm better at golf. I said. I noticed that there weren't any men around, except for the security guards and a few custodians.

Sheila, don't take this question the wrong way. Where are the men?

They're around somewhere! We don't have very many men employed here. A lot of them are working in other divisions at other places. There are some in the manufacturing facilities, but they live off campus. Most of them are production labor.

I see! I said.

It's Saturday night, a bunch of us are going into town for a drink would you like to come and meet some people?

Sure, but I'm only 20, I can't drink yet!

That's okay! You can be our designated driver!

I can do that! I said.

What better way to make a first impression than being the person who gets everyone home safely! We got back to my apartment. Sheila started rummaging through my clothes.

You don't have any nightclub clothes! She said

I guess not! I can wear some leggings and a tank top!

You need a LBD! What size are you?

A 4! I said.

You can borrow mine tonight! I'll wear my LRD!

What's an LBD? I asked.

Little Black Dress, silly! She giggled.

Okay... I said.

I knew my Metro style was fashionable and maybe I was more feminine than ever. And I bought skirt suits, pantsuits and blazer dresses. Dressing up as a woman and going to a club, I was definitely crossing a line. I should have been terrified but for some reason I wasn't completely turned off by the idea.

I don't have much makeup! I said.

Do you have some foundation?

That I actually have! I said.

Good bring it!

Take a nap and a shower, come up to my place around 6. We meet up in the lobby at 8:30.

Okay! I said.

Sheila and I hugged goodbye. I thanked her for all of her help. I took a quick shower and a nap. I was up at 5:30 pm. I put on my foundation and contoured it like Kerri and Jan taught me. I took some makeup with me along with my black stockings and garter belt. I grabbed my 3-inch black heels. I knocked on Sheila's door at 6 on the dot.

Sheila was wearing just her bra and panties. I knew Sheila was beautiful, I wasn't prepared to see her half naked. Her body was sculpted and toned. Her smile was wide, welcoming with very white teeth.

Right on time!

I try! I said with a smile.

Take off your clothes and set them on the chair!

Okay... I said.

Relax, Jackie! I have two brothers! You don't have anything I haven't seen before!

I stripped down to my thong and cami!

Wow! You really are silky smooth! Sheila said.

Very! I said.

That's a cute cami! Take it off.

Here! Try this!

She handed me a bra 36 B-cup. I started to put it on.

Let me help!

Sheila helped me put it on. She pulled out a box and opened it up. She pulled out silicone falsies and slid them into the cups.

Your skin is so soft! You're really toned too! Sheila said.

Those workout videos are great! I said I've never felt better!

It shows! Let's get this on you!

The LBD, as she called it was softer and silkier than my panties. It was made of a satin and silk combination. It hugged my body tightly. My hips and ass were very noticeable the bra was black and barely showed.

I posed in the full length mirror. I couldn't help but smile!

You look better in that dress than I do! Sheila said.

It feels magnificent! I said.

You look magnificent! Sheila said. Let's style your hair and get your makeup on!

Please! I said.

Sheila, what about your friends? Won't they object to me cross-dressing?

I doubt it! Sheila said. We're a pretty open-minded bunch! Besides we aren't going to be picking up men tonight! They just want to meet you!

Sheila started pulling out her makeup. The makeup she used was a brand I never heard of. She used multiple brushes and color palettes. She added false eyelashes. She even swapped out my bottom two ear studs for 3 and 4 inch hoop earrings. The last thing she did was spike my hair just like Jan did!

Take a look! Sheila said.

I'm a girl! I said.

No! You're a sexy woman! You are a vision! I'm jealous!
