Shelter

I woke up in the late afternoon. It was hot, but in the shadow of the tree it was bearable. Not that I had much of a choice.

“Hi Cassie, what time is it?” I propped myself up on my arms.

“It’s sixteen hours and forty-six minutes solar time.” Cassie replied.

I got to my feet and stretched out the kinks. Looking at the highway nearby I thought about another hike. I had no idea how far it was into the city. There were more houses to the west, but as the sea had to be still to the south, that had to be another city. There was an airport in that direction as well, I could see planes starting and landing.

There was a resting place at the highway, but I had to get to the other side to find an opportunity in the right direction. Crossing the busy highway sounded like a bad idea.

There was another small road parallel to the highway just a few meters away. I got to my feet and followed the deserted road to the east. I was lucky and found an underpass just a few minutes later. I crossed the highway and found another small road leading directly back to the resting place.

It was probably just a supply road. I reached the area a few minutes later. There was a gas station and a roofed parking lot. A few cars stopped to refuel, but there weren’t many customers at this time of the day.

I hid behind a bunch of whirring coolers.

A few minutes later a blue compact car came left the highway and came down the road at the back of the parking lot and pulled in at the side of the road right in front of the coolers I was hiding behind.

I noticed an unlabeled white van approaching just after the blue car. It looked like it would pass the car but suddenly it stopped abruptly. The doors in the back opened and a shady muscular guy carrying a baseball bat jumped out of the back walked around the small car. I heard another door close with a thud a few moments later.

Then I heard a woman yelling while a male voice growled angrily in Greek.

Curiously I skulked to the road to get a better view of the situation.

The man with the baseball bat stood next to the open passenger door of the small car. Another one stood in front of the car with one foot on the hood of the small car.

Then the man by the door ducked into the car and started to pull a screaming and struggling girl wearing a fancy blue dress out of the car by her arm. The other one came around the car to the door in the meantime.

The girl managed to stay on her feet and started to yell at then men who started to joke around a bit while the man equipped the baseball bat made his weapon ready to hit.

They were about three meters away and both had turned their back to me. I closed the distance with a few steps and grabbed the baseball bat with my right hand as it was just at the turning point. I threw it behind me. My left hand closed around his neck, pulling a bit up and then backward while stepping aside to let him fall down to the ground.

The other man turned around, looking at my chest and slowly raised his eyes up to my face. I crashed my left fist straight in his jaw knocking him out cold.

The girl was still shocked.

“Are you injured?” I hoped that she could speak English.

“Just a few bruises.” She snapped out of her freeze after a few moments.

“Who are these men?” I looked down at the two men laying on the ground.

“Jerks that harassed me before today.” She kicked the man next to her in the side.

The first man wasn’t moving too, but I saw no blood on the around near his head. After a quick peek at his head it didn’t look like that there was bleeding wound.

“They will survive.” I looked back at the girl.

“They bothered me at a party of a friend of mine. The bouncers threw them out after that. The must have followed me all the way from Corinth.” She furrowed her brows.

“Jerks.” I shrugged.

“I just wanted to buy something to eat as I left early because my mood was ruined.” She waved at the fast food restaurant.

My stomach growled.

“Why aren’t you wearing shoes?” She looked at my feet.

“Well. I don’t want to talk about that here and now.” I nodded at the goons to my feet.

“I see, but I’m still hungry. Since you saved my butt the least I could to is to get something for you as well.” She gave me a small smile.

She had dark blond hair tied into a ponytail reaching down to her thighs. Her amber eyes had started to lighten up a bit. She was tiny, her head just reaching to my hips.

“I’ll be back soon.” She crossed the street and walked over the fast food restaurant.

I went to the back of the van and looked inside. It was empty. I took the two goons and put them into the cargo area, closing the door. Then I went to the drivers seat. There was no way I would fit so I loosened the hand brake and pushed the van a few meters ahead and parked it at the side of the road.

Then I looked the small car of the tiny girl. There was no chance I would ever fit in there. Getting something to eat would be great though. A few minutes later she came back with a paper bag of delicious smelling food.

“Here you are.” She gave a wrapped up burger she took from the bag. She took another one for herself.

“Thank you very much!” I tried a polite smile.

“It’s me to who has to thank you.” She smiled back.

She looked definitely cute in her revealing dress.

“Never mind. It was a pleasure to help you out. I know how it is facing such guys alone.” I furrowed my brows.

“What happened?” She mustered me tilting her head with a smile.

I had finished my burger. I was still hungry, but I was feeling way better again.

How much could I tell her. She was cute and I felt like I could trust her, but it was probably prudent not to spill the beans. Since she had been nice and friendly I felt bad lying to her though.

“Well. I happened to end in the wrong place and this is all I managed to take with me.” I frowned looking down my body.

“Take another one.” She gave me another burger.

She was still occupied with her first one.

“Why didn’t you go to the police?” She sat down on the passengers seat, putting the paper bag on the floor.

“It’s difficult. I am sure that the one responsible for my situation is filthy rich, and I’ve no real evidence for what happened. The most probable result would be that he knows where to find me thereafter, which might be trouble. There is even more to my story, but I don’t want to tell more at the moment.” I looked in her eyes.

“That might be a problem. I see.” She finished her burger.

“Thank you for the burgers again.” I had finished my second one.

“No thing. What are you going to do then?” She got to her feet again.

“I need something to wear first. Do you know a store where can get something simple for a few Euros?” Maybe she knew a decent place to get something to wear.

“That won’t be easy. I don’t know about a shop that sells your size.” She shook her head.

“I’m slightly over-sized.” I looked at my feet dejected.

“How tall are you?” She looked up to me tilting her head back.

“I stopped counting beyond two meters.” I hung my head.

“Let’s leave this place. Get in.” She pointed at her car.

“There is no way I fit in there!” I shook my head in doubt.

“Come on. You can do it.” She gave me an encouraging smile and folded the front seat.

Then she pulled me down and gently shoved me into her car. It was tight but in the end I was folded onto the back seat. She folded the seat back and slipped over to the drivers seat.

“See. Fits like a glove.” She grinned and started the car.

“I can hardly move.” I was still trying to find a more comfortable position.

“There a two more burgers. I’m not hungry anymore.” She handed my the paper bag.

While she drove along the highway I carefully made short work of the remaining burgers. I even felt a bit full thereafter, which felt slightly uncomfortable.

“Where do we go?” I tried to look out of the front window.

“I am driving home now. It’s less than an hour from here. I’m living in a small flat near the university. You deserve a bath.” She wrinkled her nose with a smirk.

“Umm. Yes.” I sighed.

“I have a similar problem as you. Fitting clothes are hard to find.” She shot me a slight smile.

“Then how do you cope with it?” I saw her smile brighten in the inside mirror.

“How about making a deal?” She pressed her lips firmly together and winked at me.

“What are the conditions?” A smile started to play around her lips again.

“I learned to sew clothes myself as I don’t like wearing children’s clothes. You pay for the stuff needed, as you said you had some money. I make you something nice to wear and in return I decide what you get.” A predatory smile played around her lips.

“I just wanted something simple to replace the stuff I wear at the moment.” I gave her a doubtful look.

“You’re going to get something simple as well. I have to buy the materials, but I’m spending plenty of my free time as well. It’s much more fun working on something I like.” She tilted her head slightly to the side with a winning smile.

I was melting away.

“I need something to eat as well, and it will take some time for you to get it done.” I had no idea how long it took to make a garment.

“Making something simple fist is actually a good idea, as you need something to wear outside. Food will be okay, I can spend some of your money for food if you insist.” She nodded at me.

“I insist.” I looked at the stuff I was wearing.

“It’s a deal.” Her eyes started to shine while a wide smile played around her lips again.

As she seemed to be happy to help me out I was content as well.

“We have to talk about how to go on in the long run later. Since I know some people and the city I can at least give you further advise. Maybe we even find a place to work for you.” We passed a toll station where she paid with a credit card.

“I’m Stella, by the way.” We hadn’t introduces ourselves yet.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“I’m Lilía. I’m a student at the moment and I’m going to become an engineer.” She winked at me again letting my heart flutter a bit.

“Interesting.” I smiled back appreciatively.

“What are your plans to earn your living?” She looked over her shoulder.

“I’m generally interested in natural science, but someone tore my life apart.” I furrowed my brows and clenched my fists.

“I help you to sort that out as good as I can.” She squared her shoulders and looked ahead sternly.

“Thanks, Lilía.” I still couldn’t realize my luck.

“No thing, Stella. It’s the least I could do..” She frowned at a truck entering the highway in slow-motion.

We were heading east again now and passed another toll station. The highway went through densely populated areas. We passed an overgrown area after we turned southwest and soon we drove between multi-story buildings and stopped at a large parking lot.

I sorted myself out the car again and stretched myself extensively.

Lilía leaned against her car and observing me.

“Not far. Just a few blocks.” She smiled and took my hand.

I was gently dragged a few blocks until entered one of the houses. We had to climb up to the 3rd floor. Stairs were treacherous footing. Stepping on each single step was irritation. I ended up taking 3 steps at time. In addition my feet were too long to stand completely on a single step, I had to balance on the balls of my feet.

Lilía opened a door an I crouched down to enter a small hallway. The ceilings were high enough to stand comfortably. I could easily touch the ceiling with my hands though.

The living room was quite comfy with a small sofa and a low sturdy table in front of it. There were two large windows on the other side. The floor was covered by a fitted carpet.

“There is the bathroom!” Lilía pointed a door to the right.

“The kitchen is to the left and my bedroom is the other door to the right.” She gave me a wide smile.

“Can you maybe help me with the corset?” I pointed to my back.

“Of course.” She stepped behind be.

“There’s a problem.” I added.

“Who had glued the knot?” She exclaimed while trying to fumble with cords in the back.

“Maybe later. Just cut them. I don’t care about that thing.” I put my bag on the floor next to the table.

“One moment!” She buzzed into the kitchen and came back with a large scissors.

“Ahh! Good.” She cut it open and the pressure on my chest was finally gone.

I held the front in place to cover my boobs.

“Something else to take care of?” She looked at her fingers in disgust.

“I have no idea how to open these cuffs.” I pointed at my ankles.

Lilía dropped to her knees, inspecting my feet.

“Oi.” She fumbled at my left ankle, and then she had the cuff in her hand, ginning while tilting her head in the neck.

She removed the other cuff as well.

“Ahh. Finally.” I smiled back, blushing as I realized my private parts were on full display from down there.

“Okay. You are confined to the bathroom until you’re all cleaned up. Take your time. I’m going to stitch something together to wear for the night. I have some bolts of cloth which I can use for what I have in mind. Tomorrow I going to buy all I need for all the other things you’re going to need.” She waved at the bathroom door.

“Nothing skimpy please.” I gave here pleading look.

“Nothing skimpy.” She gave me a wide smile.

“Thanks.” I turned to the bathroom door.

“One moment. I have to take some measurements first.” She left to her bedroom and returned with a cloth measuring tape, a notebook and a pencil.

Then she noted down length and diameter of every nook and cranny. I had to go down to my knees for her to reach my shoulders though. I was flustered as she touched nearly every point of my body, especially the more sensitive parts. Finally I could retreat to the bathroom.

There was a bathtub, a toilet and washbasin. A strip of the wall was actually a mirror a meter wide and reaching up to ceiling.

The woman I was looking at had tousled ginger short greasy hair. I dropped the corset. My chest was covered in icky grime. I shuddered thinking about which fluids were responsible for their existence. The rest of her blue skin was dirty, but not that bad. I removed the skirt and the panties as well and started to pour water into the tub. I raised the water temperature as high as it was bearable and sorted myself into the tiny tub.

I could sit, but was not able to stretch my legs completely. When I folded my legs I should be able to submerge up to my neck. Fortunately I could let my lower leg hang down outside. I had to clean up here anyway after I was done.

As the first filling of the tub probably would turn into filthy mess I started to wash myself as soon was the water covered the base of the tub.

While washing most of my body felt almost normal, taking care of my chest and my folds down below was something completely different. The chest was the worst as lower parts of my boobs needed intense attention. I opened the drain after a while and used the shower head, the brush and plenty of soap and shampoo to get rid of all the grime that I scooped up since I had arrived on that blasted island.

As soon as the water at the bottom of the stayed clear for a while I filled the tub completely with hot steaming water. I totally lost track of time after a while, but as Lilía had told me to take my time, I didn’t care.

I refilled the tub as the water had turned cold. Finally I drained the tub got to my feet again. I toweled myself and wiped up the water on the floor tiles around the tub. Finally I brushed my hair.

The woman in the mirror looked much better now. While she had no bulging muscles in a relax pose, flexing them made them appear at least at the arms and legs. The boobs were a handful, well my hands were larger than most, but they were not as prominent as Lilía’s which were much smaller in absolute size of course.

She had wide face with a prominent jaw. Normally many tall people were lanky as well. The woman radiated raw power if she tensed up.

It was still strange to accept it was me that I was seeing in the mirror.

Then it came to my mind that I was stark naked. The grimy stuff I was wearing all he time was no option to wear. I took another large towel and wrapped it around my chest.

Unfortunately I needed another one to wrap around my hips. The normal towels were a bit short.

I headed back to the living room, holding my towels as they started to slide down while I walked.

“Lilía! I’m done in the bathroom.” I sat down on the sofa which made suspicious creaking noises.

“I need a few minutes more, make yourself comfortable!” She was still in her bedroom.

“How long had I been in the bathroom, Cassie?” I whispered.

“Three hours and fifty-two minutes.” She informed me.

There was a wall-clock in the living room. It was nine o’clock in the evening.

“There is a clock with the local time at the wall, Cassie. It might be slightly off time though as there are many of them which have crappy hardware.” I explained further, still whispering.

“I see. Why would someone want to have a crappy clock? All appointments will be at risk relying on bad timing hardware.” Cassie sounded irritated.

“I don’t know. Maybe you could use it to get a better approximation of the local time, which would be the one important for appointments anyway.” I whispered back.

“Ah okay. I will try my best to obtain the best possible local time for you!” Cassie exclaimed.

“Did I mention daylight saving time already?” I whispered back.

“No. How would you be able to save daylight with time. That makes no sense at all!” Cassie was even more irritated.

“Remind me to explain it at some point.” I recovered the towel covering my chest.

“Have come to a decision regarding a surname?” Cassie inquired.

“Not yet, but good point.” I chuckled.

About twenty minutes later Lilía came into the living room.

“Hi Stella! I’m done so far. We may have to adjust a few things after you tried it on though.” She was wearing light blue skirt covering her thighs an a white tank top.

“Hi Lilía!” I turned my head her way.

“Come, there is a large mirror in my bedroom.” She took my hands and pulled.

“In your bedroom?” I helped her pulling me up.

The towel around my chest fell down along with the one covering my hips. I started to blush furiously but Lilía didn’t let go of my hands.

“Sure.” She dragged me towards her bedroom door.

“I I I lost the towels!” I protested as we reached the door.

“No thing. I get you dressed again in no time.” She pulled my arms down.

“I’m naked!” I squatted down until I was below the door frame.

“There’s nothing I haven’t seen yet.” She dragged me into her bedroom.

She was right of course, but I still felt way too exposed. Lilía closed the door behind me while I got up again.

A large four-poster bed dominated the room and a thick cream carpet covered most of the floor. The window was covered by cream curtains. To the left was a large dressing table with a large mirror beside it. The wall to the right was covered in curtains as well. On the dressing table rested an electric sewing machine.

“Come!” She pointed to the floor in front of the mirror.

I walked over. The mirror was about two meters high so I had to step back bit to see me completely. The blue of my face had been turned noticeably darker and I looked definitely flustered.

I took a deep breath and managed to regain my bearings to a degree.

“Now close your eyes!” Lilía shot me a smirk.

“Why?” I looked at her tilting my head.

“Aww. I want to surprise you! Please!” She fluttered her eyelids.

“Then do it!” I closed my eyes, to get dressed again as soon as possible.

“Don’t open them until I say so!” She threatened.

She walked away towards the dresser. I briefly considered to sneak a peak, but she would probably be quite disappointed when I was caught.

She came back after handling a drawer and stopped right in front of me. As I realized she had to look straight at my nethers my heartbeat quickened considerably. At least I could breath normally now. Good idea. I started to focus on breathing.

She climbed on her bed.

“Hmm. You’re too tall. Even standing on my bed I’ve trouble reaching your head.” She ruffled the hair at the back of my head.

I was struggling to focus on my breathing.

“Get down to your knees!” She gently pushed down on my shoulders.

I got down on my knees. Fortunately there was a thick fluffy carpet.

“Is it okay now?” I sat down on my heels to come down a bit more.

“Perfect!” She whispered in my left ear.

I felt something soft brushing along my back.

“Put your arms over your head now!” She whispered in my right ear now.

“That way?” I lowered my shoulders and left a slight angle in my elbows.

Then her hands touched my wrists. I tried not to flinch.

“I am still doubting my eyes how tall you are.” Her hands slowly sled down my arms until they reached my first rips.

They lingered there for a moment before they vanished. I realized I was holding my breath at that point.

Breathe in ! Breathe out! Breathe in ...

I heard a faint giggle from behind me and I heard her moving on the bed.

Then a cool smooth fabric touched my arms and was slowly pulled down my arms, caressing them in I way I had never felt before. A shiver went down my spine while she pulled the shirt gently over my head. The hole for the neck was wide and comfortable. Then the shirt was pulled down. It hugged my body tightly and pooled around my hips.

“Spread your arms now!” She whispered in to my left ear now.

I spread my arms wide and then I felt her arms brushing along my chest. I forgot breathing again for a few moments.

She started to fumble around just under my neck for a few moments and I felt the fabric closing in to my neck. She brushed the fabric all over my body, even around my boobs! My heart was beating like a drum!

“Now get to your feet again!” She was now standing right in front of me.

I could feel her hands at my hips holding the shirt while I tried to get up.

“You can drop your hands of course.” She giggled.

Finally I was back on my feet. I felt something brushing my legs up to the ankles.

“Now open your eyes!” She giggled excitedly.

I opened my eyes and looked at a tall blue-skinned woman wearing a silk lavender nightgown reaching over her ankles. It hugged her torso closely, hinting very obvious at her boobs. There were frills at the end of sleeves and at the shoulders. The hem was completely covered with frills as well. Her wide stood wide agape as she stared at me with wide eyes.

This was not what I had expected. This was not a pajama! I looked at the woman in the mirror in disbelieve. I was clearly blushing.

“Do you like it?” Lilía looked up to me concerned.

She had put so much work into the garment that I felt bad to complain about it.

She furrowed her brows and crossed her arms under her chest.

“I I I am just speechless!” I tried to salvage the situation.

“You had totally spaced out.” A smile crept back in her face.

“It’s gorgeous!” I felt not just a bit strange wearing it.

“I knew you would like it! It looks great on you!” She opened her mouth in a wide smile.

The nightgown was really gorgeous. I just felt a bit off wearing it. I tried a timid smile while looking down at me brushing over the soft caressing fabric.

Then she spread her arms and jumped at me, hugging my hips and burying her face in my waist. She pushed a bit and doubled me over onto the bed.

“Lilía!” I gasped and propped myself back on my elbows.

My feet were still on the ground though.

“Awww! I’m back in a minute! Don’t move!” She ran to the wall covered by the curtains. I looked over my shoulder but I couldn’t see her anymore. She was rummaging somewhere behind that curtain though.

I shook my head and decided to stay where was. While this was more feminine than I had ever thought about, it was wasn’t skimpy at all. I couldn’t even complain due to our agreement.

I heard her coming back and climbing on the bed behind me. She was wearing a very similar nightgown as well, it was the same fabric and color.

“I just copied this one after I checked that there was enough material to make it. It’s not skimpy!” She sat down beside my waist and winked at me.

“It’s not skimpy.” I tried a smile back.

I sat up as well and had another look at the mirror. I was entranced for a while.

Lilía came to the edge of the bed as well and sat down to my left. My heart fluttered as she looked at the gown full of pride.

“It’s really beautiful and well made, just as yours.” I brushed over my legs with my right hand.

“I’m so happy you like it!” She looked up to me with shining eyes.

“I was just awed first.” She looked very adorable as well.

For a while we sat beside each other at the edge of her bed.

Then she got up and stepped in front of me.

“You’re still taller than me when you sit on the bed!” She shook her head.

“Size doesn’t matter. You look hot in your gown as well, Lilía!” She definitely looked hot.

She blushed.

“I feel like a child beside you, Stella.” She still had to look up to me.

“You’re definitely no child. There are two very prominent signs.” I chuckled.

“Can you pick me up and put me on your lap?” She fluttered with her eyelashes.

“Sure?” I leaned a bit forward and put my arms around her hips.

“I wanna try!” She beamed at me.

I pulled her close and lifted her up without breaking as sweat. Then I placed her carefully on my lap legs to the side.

“Wow. You’re really strong as well!” She tilted her head back and looked me into the eyes.

“You’re small and lithe.” I patted her on the head.

“You pushed the van without a problem as well” She leaned her head just below my left boob, slightly brushing the underside.

I forgot to breathe again for a few moments.

“I I It had wheels!” I looked at the top of her head.

“I don’t care!” She laid her arms around me!

“Lilía!” I lifted up the boob over her head and looked down.

“Hold me too, Stella!” She tilted her head back looked me deep in the eyes.

I let go of my boob. Then I sled my arms around her and gently pulled her closer.

“Mmmmmm.” She rubbed her boobs against my tummy.

My heart was racing again and I started to feel slightly wet between my legs. A light moan came out of my mouth.

“Ahh. Stella!” She started caressing my back.

Then my stomach growled and I noticed I was hungry again.

“Ooops!” I was a bit startled.

“It is long past dinner time!” Lilía looked at a buzzer on a small table beside her bed.

“Sorry!” I let go of her.

“Never mind. Let’s go to the kitchen an whip something up!” She caressed my cheeks.

“Ommm. I’m not good at cooking.” I scratched my head being a bit at a loss.

“I find something to do for you. Come!” She got out of the bed and offered me her hands.

“I do my best.” I let her pull me out of the bed.

We went to the kitchen. Lilía put on an apron.

“You need an apron as well, Stella!” She opened the fridge and studied the contents.

The kitchen was quite small. The floor was higher than in the living room by two steps. The worktop was in perfect height for Lilia .I would have to kneel down to make use of the kitchen. I decided to wait for orders.

“Tell me where I can help you.” This kitchen wasn’t made for people of my size.

I ended handing her things she needed, which was easy.

We had some salad with feta and some meatballs with plenty of garlic. After doing the dishes we went back to her bedroom.

“Are you tired?” Lilía sat down on her bed.

“I just woke up a while before we met.” I sat down beside her.

“I have to go shopping for your clothes and for food as well. I usually work a some evenings the week as waitress at a club at the moment, but not today.” Lilía tilted her head and winked at me.

“So what do we do with the rest of the night?” I tiled my head and looked at her.
