Lyn and her friend Jo both love high heeled boots and they both have many pairs in all sorts of types and colours. They like to play jokes on each other and this one was going to be a big joke on Lyn, mainly because she had made Jo loose one boot and had to spend over an hour wearing a single ankle boot. This happen last week when Jo had something inside her boot so she took it off, but as soon as she did Lyn grabbed her boot, only to drop it down the stairwell of their apartment block. Jo had to go down the stairs to get it back, but Lyn had used the elevator and got there first, retrieved her boot and got back into the elevator before Jo reached the ground floor. Jo looked around for missing her boot and spent about ten minutes looking for it, then she went back up to the apartment in the elevator this time, only to find that she didn’t have her keys to get in and of course Lyn wouldn’t let her in.
So Jo had to go down to the caretaker and ask him to use his master key to let her in, but when she got there he was out and a note on the door said he would be back in two hours, great she muttered to herself looking down at her one shod state, so she hatched a plan to get her own back on Lyn. She would need her boyfriend and some of his mates, then she remembered she had a spare set of keys at his flat. It was only a short walk or in her case a short tiptoe walk on her bare nyloned foot, she started walking and her stiletto heel made a loud click on the pavement and an almost silent pad of her bootless foot.
She got to his flat and rang the bell and luckily he was there, so she told him what she had in mind and he said ok I’ll set it up for tomorrow, great she said and picked up her spare keys, then made her was back to her apartment, when she got to the lobby she was meet by the caretaker who said hi there Jo, she just said hi and went over to the elevator then the caretaker shouted out, it’s not working again you will have to use the stairs. Ok said Jo muttering to herself, great why did we have to live on the sixth floor. Finally she gets to her door and Lyn opens it and says so you’re back then, have a nice walk did you.
The next day they went shopping and Jo’s plan was going to take place, as the girls walked up the main street there were two guys with a small table and on the table a single shoe and just down the road a girl wearing the other shoe and as Jo and Lyn got there so did the one shoed lady, one of the guys gave her back her shoe and a fifty pound note for walking around the block wearing one shoe. The lady put her shoe back on and said that was the easiest fifty I have ever made and she then walked off. On hearing this Lyn stepped a bit closer and one of the guys said hi there gorgeous do you want to play the Cinderella game and you could make fifty quid too. Intrigued Lyn said what do I have to do then, so he told her all she had to do was to remove her left boot and leave it here and go for a walk around the block wearing one boot and when she comes back she gets her boot and fifty quid too.
So Lyn unzipped her boot and the guy took it and put a fifty pound note inside her boot ready for her, just then another woman said hey I’m up for that taking off one of her ankle strap sandals, then handing it to the guy. Ok he says you both can walk around the block together then, Lyn said hey Jo are you doing this too, Jo said no I think I will give it a miss and besides I can keep an eye on your boot, you don’t want it stolen do you. Ok great idea said Lyn as she started walking down the street with this other woman. However as soon as they were both out of sight the guys folded up the table and took the ladies sandal and Lyn’s boot and he said to Jo hey that worked out well but who is the other lady I thought it was just Lyn’s boot we were after.
I don’t know who she is but she has just lost her sandal and it does look a nice sandal too. So what do we do now asked the guy, take the sandal and the boot back to my boyfriends flat and I’ll sort it out later said Jo, ok he says and they run off. Jo goes over to a shoe store and window shops, a few minutes later Lyn and the other lady come back and the shock on there faces was a picture, Jo found it hard to keep a straight face to think not only did Lyn fall for the scam but so did this other lady, who was not very happy to think that she had willing gave one shoe away and was now stuck wearing just one. Lyn said I thought you were going to keep an eye on my boot, oh sorry said Jo I just came over here for a minute and when I looked back they had gone. The lady said oh great I don’t have time now to get a new pair I have to get back to my car before the parking ticket runs out, she then limps off down into town heading for the car park. Lyn says I haven’t got enough cash on me for a new pair of boots.
Only one thing for it then said Jo you will have to stay like that then won’t you, smirking to herself. Then Lyn said I’m not walking around town like this I’m going back home to change, oh no you’re not said Jo I had to walk around yesterday wearing only one ankle boot after you locked it in the flat. So Jo made sure Lyn spent all day wearing only her single boot and didn’t let her take it off or put on any new ones. Finally, late in the afternoon they got back to the apartment but instead of taking her single boot off she kept it on and only took it off an hour later.
Later that evening Jo’s boyfriend came round and Jo went out with him and back to his flat, Jo said have you got Lyn’s boot, oh yes and the sandal too he said getting them both out of a draw. Jo picks up the sandal and looked at it, he said I bet it looks great on you as he slipped off her boots and places the sandal on her foot. Jo gets up and walks around the apartment wearing the single sandal, she stays like that all evening. Finally it was time to go so she slips off the sandal and puts on one of her ankle boots and looks around for the other one but he had hidden it and won’t let her have it. so Jo had to walk home minus one boot. When she gets back to her apartment Lyn sees Jo only has one boot and says it looks like you have lost a boot now too.
