Everyone is 18+ and I rode the short bus hope you enjoy my warped mind.
Book 1. Hot Texas, that's Miss Texas.
Well, It's 1980; I'm six foot two, two hundred ten pounds, with baby blue eyes and long dirty blond hair. I was twenty-seven and at the height of my game at the time. I was working a dream job at a photo lab as the outside sales professional representative for working photographers, often being asked to their studios to help get the most out of our lab. Meeting models was a side effect of the job, a nice one. I knew many by name and dated a few, but she was new. I thought she was the spitting image of a twenty year Ann Margret. Jenny Freya Anderson was her name, and she stood five foot five in flats with the cutest bright red Texas Ginger colored hair and deep sky blue eyes just like mine. But, when she wore hi-heals, she stood out of the crowd.
Her twenty-four-year-old figure was to die for at one hundred twenty-two pounds or 145lbs if carrying her purse. Jenny has an hourglass figure of 36-27-35 and a D.D. cup, almost hourglass shape, which meant that many a boy or man could not make eye contact or speak more than two words to her. I had seen it many times; hell, it happened to me when we dressed up to go out. But I'm getting ahead of my story here. I saw that she giggled when she was uneasy or was outright scared.
For the first hour or so, it was as if she was waiting for the photographer to say take all your clothes off she looked like she did not want to be there. Then, she had a bad case of nerves she started giggling nonstop. I saw she was feeling the odd girl out with six guys working on getting a thousand items for the product catalog finished. Even the hair and makeup person was a guy. I brought you water in a cup with a straw to keep her makeup clean.
I looked into your eyes. "How are you, lady? My name is Dan; you remind me a good deal of one of my cousins. I think it's your red hair. You seem rather nervous, Hon; I have known everyone here for years, except for the guys from New York. So what do you say? I won't leave you alone, and if you feel like stopping or it's not what you want to do, say the word, Ford. The photographer's Barry; I have known him for at least twelve years. Speak up if you need help. I got your back, Hon.''
You were shy but worked hard posing as told from hands to feet and dresses and tops. Household items and products think Sky-mall or a current Store catalog.
Jenny says. "Thanks, Hon, but you are, unlike anyone I met, you artsy. Do you take pictures too?"
I say. "I do; staying in business is tough, but I do it as a hobby. Sometimes Barry sends me work; it helps pay my mortgage."
That was the right thing to do because you started smiling and talking. You had stopped giggling. You asked me to lunch to say thank you, and we talked for forty-five minutes, hardly touching our food.
On the second day, one of the N.Y.C. ad guys says. "We need your top off. Lose the bra on the next one so you can use the shaving cream and lady shaver on your underarms, and then on the next two sets, you drop your panties and do your legs, then your bikini line with the special shaver.''
Jenny pops her head up, looks at me with fear in her blue eyes, and says. "Dan Ford, please, Ford.''
I say. "Let's break early for lunch. That way, we can beat the noon rush.''
I go and talk to the photographer Barry I say. "Jenny is leaving if the shave cream shots are to be done naked. Is this the thing you want getting around town?"
Barry answered. "No, he understood, and they will talk over lunch; you want to come with, or are you not leaving her side?"
I say. "Yes, we are going to lunch, not leaving Jenny's side.''
My buddy Barry says. "Go for it, dude; you due a change of luck."
We talked, sharing a table for lunch with Jenny and me. She says. "She needed the money. It would cover her fee for the Miss Texas contest, but she's not taking her clothes off for a shaving ad that pays a few bucks. I'd not do this if I turned down ten Grand from Playboy for a centerfold. She said she might have to take time off working as she was entered into the Miss Texas Contest soon."
I say. "Either we had a few more hours of work left to do today, or we are going to see a movie if they still want you to strip, that is, if you want to go.''
We traded phone numbers before going back to work and the list of shots to do there on the board but no shave cream pictures on the list. We worked until eight pm and were too tired to watch that movie. Before I even road on my Kawasaki KZ650 motorcycle home, there was a call on my service where she had called.
We went on a movie date three days later after the job was done, we had coffee after, but she had an early audition in the morning, so she kissed me good night on the cheek at her door, and boy, that felt nice not had nice since high school. OK, it was much less like my one-night stands, but I had been through an ordeal with an ex-girlfriend a few years before on a stormy one-night stand, so lovely was a fundamental change, and I had decided to let her lead till it was time to dance. Jenny and I went out every night for a week, and we were talking about a weekend getaway, but she had to be in the Miss Texas contest instead. So I invited her to my House for dinner on our sixth date. I made roast Duck with oyster dressing and baked candied yams. Then, with a lovely wine, I baked banana bread for dessert. Jenny watched me make it sitting on a bar stool, drinking coffee. As the bread was baked, we kissed boyfriend and girlfriend for the first time that night. It was a sweet hour. We ate the bread with coffee, but you said you had an early night, so you kissed me one last time, stepped into the bathroom and peed, and washed your hands for your ride home. I walked you to the car, and you slipped something in my pocket.
She called a few days later from Dallas and said. "I've made it into the finals of the Miss Texas contest one more round. If she won, she would be out of town for three or four weeks and a year after.''
I was pretty sure she had been crying and that she was going to break up with me.
When she asked. "If I could wait a year before our seventh date she says. I was not like all the jocks hitting on her; I was the kind of guy she could take home to her mother.''
She then dropped the fact that her Aunt is in town for Thanksgiving and would I like, in fact, to meet her folks; she giggled. I felt set up, but I did say how hot Jenny was, and it felt normal. I called my Dad and told him I was doing the boyfriend thing and had to meet her folks, but we would be there for Christmas. We drove up there together after doing a ritual my family had done for breakfast at the Tell-wink grill for over twenty-five years. We hit the road and were there in under forty minutes. Dinner would be too much of everything in a bigger-than-average Texas house in Sugarland. I met her folks, her six foot six father, Bob, yeah Texas big; her bigger than life four foot eleven hot blond Mom, Ann.
After that, the names ran together her three brothers looking like big linebackers, two uncles with flattop haircuts and busted-up boots, and two sets of grandparents. I swear twenty or thirty godparents(not joking, I think there were twenty-three cousins. I got twenty-two males and my sister and one lady cousin). I was a big hit with all the ladies, but talking to the guys or trying to was quite the challenge. I don't speak hunting deep sea fishing or Vegas strip clubs.
Every man came to me and told me I was not good enough for Jenny, and if I broke her heart, I would be at the bottom of the fish tank they were planning on building. Then, finally, Jenny told me that the fish pond had been scheduled for eight years.
Jenny's grand Aunt says. "Don't let the men fool you, Hon. The men in her family were all hat and no cattle, and if gunpowder was brains, they have a hard time killing a Nat.'' So was a fine older lady in black dressed to a T who walked into the room; all eyes went to her.
Her Aunt told me. "Please call me Barbara. Seeing how Jenny talked about me to her for hours, That was an excellent thing."
She then added. "You hurt my grand niece; just know I own a sausage plant.''
She was scarier than any of the guys.
