22. Changes

Dressed in gorgeous, expensive, designer outfits with perfect hair and a hint of makeup, Craig knew Kaylee and his brother both looked like nothing less than princesses.

"Girls, just take those bags to the back room and you can leave them by the back door. Here, I'll show you."

Craig watched as Carissa led Kaylee toward the back room of the salon.

Craig had never seen Kaylee this dressed up. Her current appearance made her look like a beautiful young lady several years older than her actual age and seeing his brother looking the same, caught him completely off guard and made him feel a twinge of guilt, knowing his brother's current situation was entirely his fault.

Well, not entirely. He told himself. If he hadn't done what he did and caused me to have to go to that meeting, he wouldn't be in this situation. And then there's all the other things that ungrateful kid has done to make my life miserable, even as I have sacrificed for him, so maybe he deserves a little payback. Besides, I think I'm liking him better now. He's changing. His personality and demeanor is somewhat different. Not saying I wish he really was my sister instead of my brother, but he has been quite a bit calmer and actually obedient. I'd say he's even picked up some manners. Hopefully he'll keep those traits when this is all over.

As these thoughts flowed through Craig's mind, he watched Kaylee and his brother coming towards him.

Kaylee wore a fancy sapphire scoop neck dress, her hair done in tight perm like curls from beneath a fishbone braid, and her lips shimmered with a glittery tangerine gloss.

Craig's awe over how pretty she looked, paled in comparison to the shock he experienced over Taylor's appearance. Craig was stunned. His brother was just as pretty as Kaylee. Not an ounce of young boy remained. Pure feminine girlishness oozed from Taylor as he struggled a bit walking across the salon carrying the suitcases.

Nowhere in sight was the tough male football star. Instead, a pretty, young prima donna ready for a high fashion photo shoot, headed his way.

Craig's eyes bugged out when he realized Taylor's feet were slightly elevated as he approached. He saw the real source of his brother's awkwardness. His brother had on shiny white patent leather peep toe kitten heels, with a strap across his ankle and a one inch heel.

Shimmering ivory tights clung to his skinny legs and were just sheer enough to display his painted toe nails through the open toe of the shoe.

His mint colored satin tea-length Ralph Lauren dinner dress gave him a classic a-line silhouette. On top the sleeveless bodice was fitted perfectly to his slim athletic frame with thin shoulder straps, and below his waist the dress poofed out in pleated layer after layer.

Across the shoulder straps and throughout the bodice, small pearls added to its delicate design while some dispursed glitter added shimmer to the big skirt.

Around his waist, a thick ruffled emerald ribboned sash embellished the gorgeous look before twisting behind his back and looping into a big bow.

Virginia had kept her promise from the other night as the longish blunt bob had been transformed into an unmistakable girly girl's style, with distinct lovely spiral curls streaming from a meticulous chain like braid.

Even though his bangs were only trimmed just a touch, they seemed even shorter as they had been slightly lifted off his forehead and curled under, ever so daintily.

Behind the bangs, his hair contained a precision middle part from temple to temple and the back of his head contained a thick oversized double bowtie bow which perfectly matched his emerald sash.

Below the tight braid, his hair quickly began coiling into thick distinct inch and ½ barrel curls which were baked into his locks as his new full tresses sprang ever so delicately with each step he took, never reaching his shoulders as he walked.

Virginia had also left no room for anyone to mistakenly see anything male. No, Taylor was now a beauty queen in front of him with coated curled lashes that made his eyes look so big and pink shadow and blush that highlighted his flawless complexion.

His lips had also never looked so feminine, as the colorful coral pink lip gloss shone much brighter than the thin clear gloss he had worn before, leaving no doubt that Virginia wanted the girls looking their best.

"They look amazing, right?" Carissa asked, nudging Craig when she returned. "Aren't they the two most beautiful little girls you've ever seen?"

"Uumm yeah. I-I guess so," said Craig, hardly able to believe his eyes. "I mean, wow, the girls look beautiful."

"That's better," teased Carissa, gently squeezing Craig's thigh.

Taylor gave his brother a pleading look as he passed by, headed towards the back with the bags rolling behind him.

"Look Craig, I've thought about this a lot now. I think we're like a perfect match in many ways, obviously the intimacy was incredibly awkward for both of us," said Carissa. "But that's just me, so now we've got to get back to what we were discussing. There's so much more to talk about."

"Wait! No, it wasn't awkward. I found it incredible, honestly. You know the night together," Craig mumbled. "I know you said it's been a long time for you, but it just felt so right. I thought you felt it too."

Carissa sensed Craig was about to start pulling away from her and she didn't want him to, so she put on a smile and replied with:

"You know . . . it's crazy, but somehow I did too. Tell you what . . .  I told you, you're really not my type at all, and you're not, but I have an idea. I'm willing to try this if you are. We'd have to both be willing to make some changes though."

"No problem," said Craig. "I'm good with that. I'd do anything for this to work between us. I feel more different from anything I've ever felt before when I'm with you I mean that in the best possible way and I don't want to lose that."

"I was hoping you'd feel that way," Carissa purred, before pushing him into the back room where she immediately starting unbuttoning his shirt. "It's not time due their special brunch yet, so how about I send the girls to go look around in the shop next door and maybe we can begin working on making the changes needed for this to work?"

"Are you kidding?" said Craig as she reached down and undid his belt. "I'd love that. I'll do whatever  it takes to make this work!"

"Starting now?" Carissa asked. "Like right now?"

"Yes," Craig answered enthusiastically.

"Hold that thought. I'll be right back."

Once Carissa had sent the girls away with some spending money, and instructions on when to be back, she returned to the back room, pulling the curtain closed across the doorway.

"So you're saying you'd be willing to change for me? For us?" Carissa smiled as she pushed him back onto a box, continuing the conversation.

He was now seated as Carissa knelt, pulling off his shoes and socks.

"Because there'll be no turning back."

"Oh wow, this is so hot," said Craig as she had him stand back up and began pulling his pants down and slipped his shirt off.

"Right here in this crowded beauty parlor? "

"Of course," said Carissa grinning. "There's no better place for the change to begin than here."

"This is beyond my wildest dreams, Carissa," sighed Craig, already very aroused.

"Good, slip this on for now," said Carissa as she slid a white silk robe over his arms and shoulder,

She tied the belt around his waist and then reached underneath, pulling off his boxers.

============

Well, it would appear Craig is finally getting what he wanted....and more.

He wanted in her pants, now it looks like he's moving in with Carissa and will be getting in her pant a lot. Or will he? She made it clear before they he was not her type.

What do you think is going to happen now with...

Craig?

Carissa?

Taylor?

Johnny?

What are your thoughts?
