Part 9. Bosco had it all arranged. Lieu had given them a week off and he had booked a holiday. He had had a stilted conversation with Kim and told him her plans. Faith and Bosco were to spend the week in Barbados and Kim should take Faith shopping for a new wardrobe, courtesy of his credit card.

"What about this?" said Faith holding up a brown one piece swimsuit. Kim didn't even bother replying; she held up a PVC bikini with tassels and wiggled it in front of Faith's eyes. Faith laughed and the two carried on browsing. Their hands both landed on the same bikini at the same time. It was white and lacy. It was gorgeous but Faith said "I could never wear that" "Just try it on" said Kim putting it in her basket.

Faith peeked her head around the curtain and said "I actually quite like it". Kim stuck her head into the changing room and her mouth fell open. "Wow, you look amazing. Two kids and you still have the flattest stomach I've ever seen before" "You think?" "Totally, Bosco is going to die when he sees this" "Right I'll buy it" "Wait there a second" Kim said and ran off. She returned a couple of minutes later with the tiniest of black triangle bikinis. The pants were really low cut and had ties at the side and the top was almost invisible. "Just trust me and try it on" said Kim. A couple of minutes later Faith said hesitantly "ready, I think" Kim threw back the curtain and the man waiting in the queue looked faint and whistled under his breath. "See" said Kim entering the cubicle and pulling the curtain closed. She slipped a chain out of hand and placed it around Faith's waist securing it in place with the silver catch. Faith took a look and admitted she looked pretty good. "I'm gonna make Maurice bankrupt at this rate" said Faith "And you think he'll care when he sees you dressed like this" Kim stated.

When they finally finished shopping Faith had countless bags and had spent what felt like Bosco's entire annual wage. Kim led to them to the mall car park and whistled. A man in a suit arrived with a large suitcase, Faith was stunned "What's this?" "All Bosco's work" said Kim, taking the large suitcase and undoing it. She began to take the clothes out of the bags and fold them into the suitcase. "Next stop?" asked the chauffeur in a strong New York drawl. "Uh huh" said Kim ushering Faith into the car while the driver placed the suitcase into the trunk.

Faith was looking at a menu while Kim walked around looking at some products. "What have you chosen?" asked Kim. "Um the spray tan and make over I think" "Good choice" said a woman behind Kim's shoulder. Faith got up and followed her. Three hours passed and Faith emerged. She was a glowing, golden brown and had stunning, but subtle make up on. She had been plucked and waxed to within an inch of her life. "Y'ok?" said Kim. "Yep. What'd ya think?" said Faith spinning round. "You look absolutely amazing" said Kim handing her a very full cosmetic bag. "What's this?" "Every beauty product you will need" "Ok" said Faith. Looking a little confused she handed over the credit card and paid. "Time to change" said Kim taking Faith's hand and leading her away. Kim picked out a black velour tracksuit, practical for a flight but it also hugged all Faith's curves and the pants were low cut so showed off her flat, tanned stomach. A couple of minutes later the two were back in the car and heading toward La Guardia.

The car arrived and the door was opened by a relaxed Bosco wearing black chinos and a white shirt which was open to display his muscular chest. "Wow" he said open mouthed. "You like?" said Faith Bosco, still opened mouth, just nodded, his tongue hanging out. Faith turned to Kim and kissed her on the cheek. "Thanks for today" "No worries, enjoy yourself" she replied. Faith got out of the car, before she could shut the door Kim reached out, holding a gift-wrapped package and said "Enjoy, both of you" before shutting the door.
