Charlotte smiled and laughed with Millie as they ate. When they finished Charlotte paid for her own food and insisted on paying for Millie's as well, the girl needed to save all the money she could after all. Charlotte grinned and took Millie's hand as they headed to the street. Charlotte flagged down her driver. She opened the door letting Millie in first before climbing in herself.
Dean was off today so Mick was driving. "We're headed to the house Mick." Charlotte told the man with a smile before he started driving.
Charlotte then turned to Millie grinning. "So when we get to my house I'll have one of the servants bring up some drinks. Now I know I gave you one of my favorites a week ago but what drink do you prefer?" She asked curiously. Millie answered and a short time later they got to the house.
Charlotte lead the young girl into the house before ordering their drinks asking that they be brought up to her room. Charlotte took Millie up the stairs and they entered the room.
"Alright this is my room." Charlotte showed the young girl her large bedroom. There was a big bed with long curtains that could be pulled around it. The bed was covered in red and black silk sheets with a high ornate back bored against the far wall. The carpets were a plush royal blue. The vanity matched the beds design having three mirrors with her make up and other things on it. Another matching set of drawers across from the vanity. There was a small bookshelf with a decent number of books. There were two doors on the side of the room with the vanity one leading to her walk in closet the other leading to her private bathroom. There were two windows on either side of her bed both large letting in lots of natural light. By the entrance of the room was a record player and under in a collection of records.
"First let me grab you something to change into after your bath." Charlotte held up her finger asking for a moment as she entered her closet. She pulled out one of her dressing gowns with lace detailing. Millie didn't strike Charlotte as the ostentatious type that might like one of her fur or ostrich feather dressing gowns so she went with something simple but beautiful, understated, like Millie herself.
"Alright after that bath you'll change into this and we can relax and have a drink in here." Charlotte told Millie with a wide grin. "Now come this way." Charlotte pulled Millie into the bathroom. There was a large claw foot bathtub, there was a ring above the it that had a curtain that could be wrapped around the tub and a spout for a shower if desired. And area beside the sink had a large quantity of oils and salts and of course a toilet. All sparkling clean. A white bath mat laid on the floor next too the tub and a pile of fluffy clean white towels next on the top of the shelves with the oils and salts.
Charlotte pulled out a purple bottle with salts and a bottle of a light purple oil. "Now these are both lavender the Salts with help with relaxing, the oil with help with soothing your skin. I'll let you relax in here."
Charlotte left the room before going to her record player and putting on one of her big band records. She had gotten a bad habit from Cruella and had started criticizing any female singers so she preferred male singers or pure band music. Charlotte then changed her own clothes and was now wearing a dressing gown with fur trim on the arms and hem. She began spinning around dancing to the music.

She didn't have to be so nice, but somehow, Charlotte Marcello went out of her way in each of their encounters to treat the poorer, goody-two-shoes that was Millie Foster. Gatsberry's newcomer had brought money of her own, but her friend still insisted to pay for every meal. The night at the Moonlight Lounge was explainable since it was common courtesy to treat those less fortunate than her, but that didn't account for the other times. She wasn't one who deserved such kindness.
She asked Millie what drink she would like when they finally made it there. The French 75 had too much of a punch, so it would probably have been a good idea to lay off the alcohol until another special occasion. "Just water with lemon will do nicely, Charlotte." The redhead smiled and blushed slightly. Shortly after she gave her request, they arrived at her house. No. It wasn't a house... it was a mansion... something she could only dream about. There were plenty of servants tending the garden and the house, from what she could see. Millie could barely keep her mouth shut as her friend lead her inside towards her room.
Her bedroom was like a house in itself. "Oh... my..." "First let me grab you something to change into after your bath." "Well, I could always change back to this..." she pleaded, but she knew very well that her request was to no avail. "Never mind..." she was being pulled into the even nicer bathroom. It smelled so good... As soon as she was going to thank her, Charlotte was gone and dancing to some of those big bands. I guess, I'd better take the bath... Millie shrugged as she turned the knobs on the tub. Water poured out and quickly filled the tub. She first slowly took off her light pink dress and heels. She untied her cotton bra which bound back whatever stood out from her already flat chest. Last, she slid off her panties. The redhead took off her hat, staring at her uncompromising appearance in the mirror for a little while.

Charlotte smiled as she swayed to the music when a knock came at the door. She answered an let the butler in. In one of the corners of her room was a couch that curved with the corner of the wall two matching chairs and a coffee table with a few nick-knacks on it. He brought in a tray with two cups and two pitchers. One had water with a few lemon slices floating in it with the ice. The other pitcher was lemonade, while Charlotte did like to drink, probably too much, she did think it was just a bit early for hard liquor and she had liked lemonade since she was young.
Charlotte smiled and thanked the man before he left and poured herself a glass of lemonade taking a small sip. She set her drink down and began spinning and dancing around again, happily.
She skipped over to the door and knocked politely. "Millie your water is here if you want me to bring it in to you. And if there's anything else you need let me know." She told the girl with a grin.

"Millie your water is here if you want me to bring it in to you. And if there's anything else you need let me know." Charlotte knocked on the bathroom door. The redhead let out a small squeak, startled by the sudden knock. "C-c-come in, Charlotte! You can bring it in..." Millie scrambled into the tub, sloshing some of the warm water onto the floor and soaking the white mat. She blushed in embarrassment, hoping that her friend didn't hear her slip or see her nudity.
She now laid back in what was left of the water in the tub, which was quite a bitWith the scent of the oils and salts, it felt as if she could just sink in the water.

Charlotte smiled as she brought the water in to the bathroom. She grinned as she saw Millie relaxing in the slightly purple water. There was a little water on the floor. It wasn't a big deal the water would dry or get cleaned up later.
"Here you go sweetie." She grinned as she handed Millie the glass. "Oh." Charlotte reached out touching Millie's hair. "I could clean up those edges for you if you like. It's pretty well done." Charlotte smiled widely. "You must have done it yourself it's really good for not being able to reach everything and see everything. But I can finish the clean up if you want?" She offered. "Oh that's reminds me." Charlotte turned to the mirror and began pulling pins out letting her hair fall to the top of her shoulders. Most people thought she had the well worn pixie look but she preferred to keep it just a bit longer so she could do things with it.
"I'll get out of your way Millie you have fun. Ok." She told her with a smile before leaving the room closing the door behind her to give Millie her privacy.

The black-haired girl touched her hair and offered to clean it up. Millie flinched slightly. Ever since she was young, she never really liked people touching her head. Many people who were around her either smacked her around or pulled her burnt orange locks. "You must have done it yourself. It's really good for not being able to reach everything and see everything." "Yeah... I did it myself... in the dark actually," She awkwardly smiled, "but it couldn't have been that good of a job..."
Millie gasped slightly at the sight of Charlotte taking out her famous pixie cut until it fell perfectly towards the tops of her shoulders. She knew perfection like that took a lot of hard, time-consuming work, but for that small amount of time, her illusion of the perfect girl was shattered.
"I'll get out of your way Millie you have fun. Ok." "No wait!" The redhead called out to her. "I would like you to clean up my hair!" What are you saying, Millicent?! Her thoughts chided her, You don't like people touching you, nonetheless, your hair!

Charlotte noticed Millie pull away slightly when she touched her hair and figured the girl didn't enjoy that kind of attention and was going to leave it at that but when the young girl asked her to clean up the hair cut Charlotte smiled widely. "Of course sweetie." Charlotte turned back to the sink and opened a drawer pulling out a pair of scissors, a comb and a cup. She filled the cup with water and headed over to the young red head. Charlotte knelt down by Millie's head smiling. "Now just relax Dear this won't take long I promise." Charlotte dipped the comb in the cup of water an began going through Millie's hair till it wasn't as bouncy as it would normally be. She took a section of hair and the scissors and began trimming slowly and gently. Millie seemed a bit like a feral cat, she wanted attention and care but she must have been treated very badly in the past making her have trouble trusting. Charlotte continued on. She could tell the style Millie had been going for and she had the right shape she just needed to tighten up the lines. After a few short minutes Charlotte was done. She combed through Millie's hair again to make sure she got rid of all the loose strands before standing up. She went and got her hand mirror from the sink and brought it over to the girl. "Here what do you think?" Charlotte asked showing the sweet girl. ![](http://hair-and-makeup-artist.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/1920-womens-hair.jpg) Charlotte swept up the hair from the floor and threw it away before turning back to Millie. "You know I really love your hair and I don't just mean the cut. You have such a unique and beautiful hair color." She smiled again as she headed toward the door. "I'll wait for you out in my room let me know if you need me." Charlotte opened the door leading back to her bed room.

"Now just relax , dear, this won't take long I promise." The redhead closed her eyes and nodded her head. She felt as if she was a child again, but this time, she had someone who legitimately cared about her. So, this is what it felt like having a mother... she thought to herself as Charlotte slowly brushed her rusty wet locks.
Snip snip snip... Millie closed her eyes as she felt her long hair, that had just been complimented, fall clean from her head. There was no doubting that Charlotte was doing a good job cutting her hair, but it felt as if part of her was leaving. She didn't know why she was exactly feeling that way since only the magnificent few actually noticed how good her hair looked. The redhead wondered if Hollie would like her new hairstyle. She probably wouldn't though. The prostitute would probably her long-ish hair that she could run her fingers through.
After a while, the snipping stopped, so the young girl opened her eyes. A small hand mirror was put in front of her face. "Here what do you think?" Millie tilted her head and observed her shorter hair and curved sides. "I.. I look like a boy." Millie shivered as a cold breeze brushed up against her newly bare neck. She started to miss her hair, but perhaps a change was good. After all, hair grows back.

Charlotte turned at Millie's words. Her eyes widened in worry. Her hand went over her chest in surprise.
"I-I'm sorry Millie I thought this was the style you were looking for? Do, do you hate it?" She asked fear bubbling up in her chest. The idea that she had done something that upset her new friend terrified her. Millie wasn't Aria but the feeling of disappointing Millie was similar to when she thought she disappointed Aria and that worried her.
"I-Um, I'll wait for you in the other room." She ran out and closed the door before Millie could respond. She was almost scared of Millie's answer to how she felt about the hair style now.
Charlotte took a few deep breaths after she got back into her room. She needed to calm down. The thought she had gotten over this years ago after dealing with Cruella for so long. Whenever Charlotte felt she disappointed someone it would make her feel sick to her stomach. She got over it when it came to Cruella but apparently not anyone else. She went to the couch and sat down taking a drink of her lemonade and tried to relax.

"I-I'm sorry Millie I thought this was the style you were looking for... Do, do you hate it?" Her eyes widened as she heard the fear and worry in her friend's voice. If the redhead could be perfectly honest, she didn't know what to think of her new hair. Sure, she had seen many people at the Moonlight Lounge with nearly masculine hair, so she'd have a chance to finally fit in. However, she missed her original length and how it bounced on her shoulders when she danced or skipped. Before she could make any sound, Charlotte had left her. Perhaps she was way too much in thought to give a response.
"No! Wait!" Millie pulled herself out of the tub and grabbed a towel, following after her friend. "I like it. After all, it's still hair. It'll grow back..." She gave a small smile and sat next to her on the couch.

Charlotte turned to Millie when she sat down beside her on the couch and smiled softly. "Yes I suppose it does." She gave a soft giggle as she calmed down. "But you need to get dressed Sweetie." Charlotte told her with a laugh. "You don't want any of my fathers men coming in here and seeing you in just a towel." She stroked the side of Millie's head from her ear to chin with a smile. "And honestly Darling someone would have to be blind and deaf to think you looked anything like a boy." She laughed as she pulled Millie back to her feet slowly and took her back to the bathroom. "You go ahead and change and let me know if you need anything." She told the red head with a sweet smile.

Millie blushed. How could she have forgotten to get dressed? Charlotte must have thought her to be a complete idiot for doing so! Don't worry, Mill, she thought, consoling herself, forgetting things is completely normal. "Oh... that's right... Whoops!" The redhead quickly started to sprint towards the bathroom, but her friend lead her there instead. After giving her some privacy, she finished drying herself off and hung up her towel.
"And honestly Darling someone would have to be blind and deaf to think you looked anything like a boy." The redhead smiled at her friend's reassurance. It reminded her of the many things that Anna had told her when she was down in Salina. If she closed her eyes, she could get a tiny glimpse of what she looked like. Her long hair perfectly put into two twin braids and her face was dusted with freckles. Millicent smiled tied her old bra back on her newly dried body and the light summery dress over her head. After straightening out some kinks, she went back.
"How do I look?" the redhead blushed and made her way back towards the couch. "Charlotte? My panties got soaked when I rushed out of the tub after the haircut... I'm sorry, but may I have a dry pair?"

Charlotte clapped and smiled when Millie came back in asking how she looked. "Oh Darling you look lovely I know the lace would look lovely on you. My Feather or fur lined ones would be to ostentatious for you. This makes you look so classy." Charlotte giggled when Millie asked for a pair of panties because hers had gotten wet.
Charlotte stood and headed toward her drawers as she spoke. "No worries darling I have plenty you can use but honestly you don't really need them if you don't want them." She told the girl honestly as she reached in and pulled out a pair of silk panties with little flowers on them. She began heading back to the red head. "I mean it's just us girls." She handed Millie the panties with a smile. Honesty Charlotte only had on panties because she had been wearing them when she changed. I was like she said it was just the two for them. But Millie was a sweet girl from the country not a wild child like Charlotte so if the girl wanted panties she could have them.
Charlotte sat down next to Millie back on the couch. "Now Millie tell me what kinds of books do you read?" She asked the young red head curiously.

Charlotte was right. The lace did look quite lovely draped over her twig-like frame. From what she had heard and read in some old Vogue magazines, fur wasn't in style at the moment. She would have certainly sweated to death being covered in the fuzzy pelts on top of being out of style. "Thank you very much." Millie rubbed her arm, almost impatiently waiting for her friend to cover up her shame with the panties. However, she was debating it.. Charlotte had a point. It was only just them, yet the fear of someone walking in on them without undergarments on would be quite embarrassing. Worse off, her father could confuse her for a prostitute or someone even more shameless. Millie accepted the pair, but she hadn't put it on yet. They were alone and perhaps... No... why was she thinking such things? Miss Marcello was her friend and nothing more than that.
She was then asked about what types of books she read. "Well... I... I'm not sure if you're familiar with some of the books I've read... Pride and Prejudice? The Picture of Dorian Gray? There's this other book by Virginia Woolf that I started reading. My friend back home sent me a copy of this book called Mrs. Dalloway. It's about a woman in high society."

Charlotte smiled and had an inward giggle when Millie didn't put the panties on as soon as she got them. She needed to learn to be a little more free with herself but Charlotte wasn't going to push her the girl had enough issues being told what to do and how to be with all the other people around her both back home and here. Charlotte might not know what Millie went through before she came here but she knew that Millie was now being bombarded with magazines and people telling her how to look and how to behave and at work she was probably under a lot of pressure to so Charlotte would make herself a safe space for the sweet red head. Whenever Millie was with Charlotte she would be able to do or say anything she wanted without judgment.
Charlotte listened to the books Millie liked. She hadn't read them all but she had read some and knew the story of a few others.
"Well I can't say I've read Mrs. Dalloway but I know the story of Pride and Prejudice and it's been a while so I don't remember all the details but I remember the tale of Dorian Gray. How vanity can be such a down fall to a person." She gave a slightly laugh as they talked.
