Chapter #5Ma'am by: Rita Pete could see Linda peer her head out of her store's front doors, looking to her left and right down the mall. Not seeing any approaching customers, she let out a loud sigh, and went back into the store. Pete couldn't tell if it was pity or simply the site of an attractive older woman, but he felt compelled to enter Linda's sex shop. Of course, he wasn't thinking about putting the woman under a spell, but he knew he was being watched by his sister and he had to look someone in the eyes. might as well be someone who might need some cheering up.
As Pete entered the sex shop, he remembered hearing rumors about the place. The reaction from town was mixed, to say the least. Pete's town was pretty evenly divided, political wise, and the more open minded townsfolk weren't entirely excited about the idea of a dildo store right next to the Pretzel shop, but they didn't mind it too much. The more strict half, on the other hand, were absolutely appalled that any kind of operation like this could be run in their "Pure" town. The store's opening week had protesters lined up in front of windows, almost completely blocking entrance. Eventually they gave up though, seeing that store wasn't going to go anywhere. The protesters would just have to be content talking about how their town is being filled with sin and spreading ridiculous rumors.
And as stupid as those rumors were, they did seem to stick in Pete's mind. Pete was half expecting to see blatant images of hardcore sex plastered on the walls, or people walking around in gimp costumes. Pete found that the store, somewhat to his disappointment, looking more or less like a Halloween store. Just instead of costumes and props decorating the aisle ways, their were lingerie sets and sex toys. Not even enough to make you blush, at least by Pete's desensitized standards. In the center of it all, Pete could see Linda bending over, haphazardly organizing boxes. He was going to say something, but struggled to find the words as he stared at Linda jean short covered ass. While he was distracted, Linda turned as the noticed the teenager within her store.
"Oh hey, a customer!" Linda exclaimed, not noticing that Pete was clearly perving, "Oh wait a second, how old are you?"
"Uh," Pete stuttered, suddenly nervous in front of that alluring woman, "Eighteen, ma'am,"
"Ma'am! Excuse me young man, but I'm not even 35, don't call me ma'am," Linda said frustrated, like she heard that before, but calmed herself down, "Anyways, my name is Linda and you're just barely old enough to shop here, so feel free to browse my stuff. and if you got any questions, don't feel afraid to ask, got it kid?"
"Got it," Pete nervously said, "But I didn't really bring any money,"
"No money? Are you serious?" Linda gave Pete a weird look, "Then why'd you even come in here?"
"I, uh..." Pete looked around the room for some sort of excuse and saw and a help wanted sign, "I was wondering if I could get a job,"
"You really want to work in a sex shop, kid?" Linda asked, to which Pete nodded, "Well usually I would ask if you've have any experience in the field, but I'm gonna guess that's a no. Look, if this were any other kind of situation, I would send you packing. But since i'm doing unexpectedly terribly, business wise, I don't have any other option but to hire you on the spot. You got the job!"
"Oh, good," Pete apathetically said, realizing he just accidentally made an agreement with someone for the second time today.
"Good, you know you're really helping me out by doing this," Linda sounded relieved, "Let me just some of this stuff away, and I'll get some paperwork for you to sign. By the way, I never caught your name,"
"It's Pete," Pete told Linda, but got distracted by the huge, still packaged pink vibrator Linda was now holding. Wanting to seem professional in front of his new boss, Pete tried to look anywhere but at the humongous pink monstrosity. In his vain attempts to ignore the large toy, Pete ended up making eye contact with Linda for the first time since entering the store.
"Pete..." Linda mumbled as she stared into Pete's eyes. Her face became blank, emotionless as Pete's eyes seems to put her into a daze. Before Pete could react, Linda eyes flashed a bright green and she appeared to be back to normal. Except, of course, the very different looks she was now giving Pete. Pete was still holding onto to hope that maybe he just imagined it, when Linda started to... indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
