The next two hours, Megan and Josh had a great time trying on outfits and discussing what to do that night. Josh settled on the three costumes Megan had selected and got himself a few extra. Megan had modeled quite a few more outfits for Josh's pleasure, one more sexy then the other and he enjoyed it tremendously. They finally settled on a Matrix Trinity outfit, an Elvira vampire princess outfit and because it gave Josh a straight hard on, a punk rock rocket queen outfit with extreme high heeled boots. They kissed for a bit before Josh had to get going so Megan packed everything up and they walked to the sales desk.
When Josh arrived at the sales desk, the store manager barely managed to hide his surprise.
Buying props as well for all the outfits and taking care of his father's costume, the bill was in the 5 digits. Without breaking a sweat, Josh paid for it leaving a nice tip for Megan.
He could see the jealous looks on the other sales persons and their annoyance with their manager. Josh couldn't care less, he had Megan's number, she would come to his place early tonight to change and most likely would spend the night with him after the party.
The costumes would be delivered around five so he had some time to spend in the mall before getting a cab back home.
He felt on top of the world and things were looking up.
On his way out he passed a lingerie store with some very sexy outfits in the store window.
He looked them over, imagining Megan in them and it didn't take him long to decide to enter and get her some of these sets as well.
Another few hundred dollars later he walked out with three bags full of underwear, mostly for Megan and some for him.
The cab ride home took ages in his mind but he blamed that on his anxiety to get home and the coming night.
Once Josh got home, he checked if his Dad and Angela had returned but they were still out.
Grabbing a soda from the fridge he went to his room and started to unpack a few boxes and assemble some of his new furniture. He had worked up quite a sweat when heard the doorbell.
He heard one of the staff accept the delivery from the costume store and walked down to claim his and Megan's outfits.
The young Hispanic woman who had accepted the delivery was looking the boxes over, stopping at the box with the rocket queen outfit, staring at the picture of the content.
Josh quietly walked behind her and waited till she reacted to his presence.
He could hear her talk to herself but didn't make it all out, the best he could make of it was "I would so rock at the club if I had the money to buy stuff like this."
He coughed softly and was rewarded by a startled jump and a blushing face.
"I am so sorry Mr. van der Haagen" she stammered.
"What's there to be sorry about? It is a great outfit and I am sure you would look great in something like that."
"It's not my place to ..." and she stopped talking almost on the verge of tears.
"Relax, I am not angry or anything, just curious," Josh said in a calming voice.
"Curious?" she stammered, surprised.
"Yeah, what club are you talking about that such an outfit would be killing" Josh asked.
"The Forge, it's an old school metal club, my band plays there sometimes."
"Your band?" Josh asked surprised "what instrument do you play?"
"I play the guitar and sing," she answered a little more confidently.
"Cool, you must take me sometimes," Josh said enthusiastically.
"We will play tomorrow at ten," she volunteered.
"I have no plans at all so if you are willing, you can take me there" Josh said.
Looking him over to see if he was joking, she decided he was not and nodded, saying that she would.
"What kind of rock do you play?"
"We cover Judas Priest and play some of our own songs" she responded to his question.
"Judas Priest? Seriously? This I really have to see, oh hold on" Josh said and ran to his room.
A few upturned boxes later he found what he was looking for.
Racing down, a little flushed he held out a worn denim jacket, studded at the shoulders and with a huge Judas Priest logo on the back.
"Here, wear this next time on stage, it's signed by Rob Halford himself, should bring you luck"
Her face turned red and she was torn between accepting it and declining it.
Josh saw the turmoil she was in and said "Look, I won't tell if you won't okay?"
"Just promise me that you will take me to see your band, I'd really love to see you play."
"Okay Mr. van der Haagen, deal" she answered, still a bit timid.
"What is your name?" Josh asked while he put the jacket in a bag for her.
"Vanessa" she replied
"Well Vanessa, when no one else is around, call me Josh okay?"
"Okay" was all she said and started to collect the boxes again to take them to the bedrooms.
Looking at her resume, Josh painted a picture in his mind of Vanessa in the outfit she envied and decided he would get her one as well, she was that cute.
Josh was about to follow Vanessa when the door opened and his dad came in, supporting Angela with her crutches.
"Ah great, help us out here Josh" Jonas said when he tried to close the door behind him.
Angela seemed almost out of it, the way she was leaning on Jonas's shoulder.
Josh quickly closed the door and asked what was wrong with Angela.
"Nothing except she has a very low tolerance to pain medication, she almost passed out."
"Help me get her to the bedroom son" Jonas continued and together they carried her to her bed.
Her left foot and ankle were enveloped in a cast as a result of the fracture.
"I need a drink" Jonas said and walked out the bedroom "coming Josh?"
Josh followed his dad and both sat down in the kitchen, grabbing a beer.
"So who is the darling that you found to help me out tonight?" Jonas started.
"Her name is Megan, she is a natural redhead and a great looker" Josh grinned at his dad.
"Not near your age I hope" Jonas replied.
"Nope, closer to Angela than me dad"
"Ah okay" Jonas said just before he almost choked on his beer.
"How do you know she's a natural …" he started to say and let his voice trail off, grinning at his son.
"I see" he continued "I guess she'll be sleeping over then?"
"Perhaps, I'd like it if she did but we'll see how the evening goes." Josh replied casually.
They both laughed and Jonas told Josh to keep it down as he wouldn't be getting any.
"Best get going then or we are going to be too fashionable late" Jonas said and went to his bedroom. Josh nodded and did the same.
