Chapter 4.1: Fittings
"Winston." Shouted Joker as he hugged his dear business associate. Winston was an middle age Englishman from Liverpool. He was average height of 5'7", dressed in a luxurious baby blue suit. Joker invested in his business when he arrived to Gotham, not knowing anyone at the time, he couldn't refuse a helping hand.
"What can I do for you lovebirds today?" Winston asked saucily with his hand on his hip, examining his perfectly manicured nails.
"Hahaha, Winston, we need a custom tailored gown for my lovely Harley Quinn here." Joker laughed, extravagantly twirling his blushing female companion. "Only the best for my Harley".
looked at Harley, glancing up and down. "32 inch bust, 18 inch waist, 27 inch hips. I can have this done in a flash, honey bun!" Harley's jaw dropped, letting go of her Puddin's hand and looking at WInston with wide eyes.
"How did you knoooow?" Harley asked incredulously. Everything that the flamboyant tailor had said was completely correct.
"After 13 years in this business, sugar plum, I can tell everything about everyone's body with one look!" He looked slyly over to the front of the Joker's pants, then look back over to his new female client and winked. Harley giggled, clasping her Puddin's arm. Winston had definitely made a great first impression, and she knew they would most likely be friends in the future.
"Enough girl talk, you too. Hahaha!" Joker smiled and hugged his Harley, kissing her forehead before looking over at . "I have some things to tend to in the city very quickly, so I'll leave you two to the fitting. She looks stunning in red and black."
Harley gave Joker a worried look, pouting at this news of him leaving. "You'll be fine, sweets, don't worry. I'm just making preparations for our outing and a surprise I have planned for you later. I know Winston will treat you right." He kissed his love, shook 's fabulous hand, and strolled out of the building with confidence. "I'll be back in about an hour, Harley! If you need me before then, just give me a call. Winston has my number."
"Sooooo, time to get you razzlin', dazzlin', and ready to party! Come on cupcake, let's start with lingerie!" Winston let go all airs of professionalism and took Harley's hand, leading her into one of the back rooms as if they had been friends for years.
"So Mr. Fabulous…" She was interrupted immediately by the man's velvet nylon gloved index finger.
"Sweet pea please call me Winston. Any friend of Jay is a friend of mine but in this case I believe looover rolls off the tongue better." He winked at Harley to which she winked back. They both laughed at their silliness but hey it's a start to a beautiful friendship.
"It does, what can I say Winston I love the man. He makes me see the humor in life I thought I loss a long time ago. My heart aches every time I don't see him. I feel complete when he holds me and doesn't let go. To know he loves me makes me beatific and I don't want it to stop."
Harley didn't notice that Winston shed a couple tears, not of sadness but of joy. "I'm sorry Winston, I didn't mean to make you upset."
"No it's fine sugar I just get a little emotional at such beautiful words." He hugged her to which she accepted it.
"You know true love doncha Winston?"
"Yes Harley I had. His name was Lamichael, such a generous individual. We meet at Oxford during our early years. I majored in fashion design and he majored in social sciences. We shacked in a little apartment in Winchester for a couple years. He showed me the bright side of life and how someone so special can make even the most dower man smile. I woulda gave my live for him no matter what. Unfortunately life doesn't follow by your schedule. He was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. I was with him until the end and he never broke down emotionally. He always kept the warm smile I feel in love with. Even as I stood as his bedside when he breathed his last breath, he looked at me and said, "I love you.", said with a cheery smile before his heartbeat ended. But to make a long story short yes, I know what true love is. I still think about his everytime I wake up from bed."
Harley shed a few tears from his words. He immediately grabbed a hanky from his suit coat and gave it to her.
"Thanks Winston." Blowing into it.
"No problem honey. Follow me." He showed her the fitting room, it was so luxurious. It looked like Jay Gatsby's private office. "Now we will give you fitting's for the lingerie and don't worry sugar plum it's on me because you're so sweet and understand."
"Thank you very much." She was really enjoying today and excited that her puddin said there's more to come including going to the Iceberg Lounge for dinner. She perked up at the thought of being with Mistah J again and giggled because of them doing the lingerie fitting."
"Now from my experience with fitting Jay, I can tell that he's a dominant man in the bedroom so we'll want something that's easy to rip off you." He winked to which she remarked, "Ahh you dog but you are right my puddin can be a little rough but hey I've got some kinky tastes."
"Ohh I'm the dog? You dirty clown girl."
"You're not wrong. Hahahaha."
He fitted her with a sexy crimson corset exposing and giving her a bigger bust. Slim fitting black suede stocking. Along with a pair of scarlet, high open toed pumps giving her height but she knew it her Jay would still cast a shadow over her. Custom forearm length gloves in a blood red hue. Winston created a thin black mask to conceal her intentions.
"Ouuu Mistah J isn't go know what hit him."
"I probably get a bonus from this."
"Trust me Winston you will. And I'll be the winner and receive my big prize."
"Big indeed girlfriend. You're not the only one to see the man without the suit but I won't tell if you don't."
"You are such a slutty girl." Harley smacked Winston playfully to which he replied, "It happens naturally."
They continued with fitting the dress but you'll have to wait and see at the Iceberg Lounge.
Joker came back from his errands. Apparently four hours have passed and it was 1:00 p.m.. He entered Fabulous and said,
"Hoooooney I'm home." Harley ran and jumped into his arms.
"PUDDIN.", snuggling with her clown and purring even.
"Awww did my Harley have a good time?"
"Yes sweetie, Winston is an amazing stylist. It was so much fun."
"I'm glad, Winston is everything ready?"
"Yes Jay they are and believe me when I say you are a lucky man."
"Trust me Wincy I know, thank you for the fittings."
"My pleasure Jay. She'll be ready for your nightly events, both of them.", he said saucily. All of them laughed.
Joker and Harley turned to the exit in humor. "Have a fantastic day you love birds."
"Thanks again Winston.", Harley said as both left the store in plan for the next stop on the this gracious day together, her with the love of her life.
