Becoming Marie Chapter 4

I gulped yet again and felt my face blush with embarrasment as i picked the wig off the counter. The lady was right though about the quality, not very good and not really the style i wanted.

"For a bit more money we have this brunette one" She said pointing to a nice wig under the glass topped counter.

"That would look much better on you and you would look more realistic with this one compared to the other ones. Would you like to try it on?" She said as she once again reached into the cabinet.

"Here in the shop?" I replied

"Yes, come behind the screen here" She answered pointing to a screened section behind the counter.

I stepped behind the counter and then behind the screen, out of view of anyone passing the shop window.There was a full length mirror behind the wall and the lady stood in front of me and put the wig on my head. She ruffled it about a bit getting it in position and then styled it to my face. When she had finished she stepped back from me and looked at my face, then stepped to the side so i could see myself in the mirror.

"With some nice make up and the right clothes you could look quite convincing as a young woman with your face structure" She said.

"Errr right" I replied. "It's only a fancy dress party i'm going to" I lied.

"Only a fancy dress party! right?" She asked, giving me what i thought was a knowing look.

"Errr yeah" I lied.

"Do you like it?" She asked

I looked at my face in the mirror with the wig on my head and thought about lhe ladys comments about make up andmy facial structure

"I'll take it" I said, lifting the wig off my head and handing it back to the lady. I went back round to the front of the counter and paid for it, as i was about to turn and leave with the wig in a bag she smiled.

"Enjoy your party! I'm sure you'll look absolutely stunning on the night. practice your make up and im sure you'll pass as a woman" She said.
