After high school graduation, I took a summer job selling magazine subscriptions.
I needed some serious scratch if I was ever going to move out of my parent's house, and I knew that if I waited too long, I'd end up like my older brother. At age twenty-three, he had taken over the basement den with no intention of leaving. And why should he? He mooches food from my parents, weed from my stash, and wi-fi for endless hours of video games and porn.
The door to door game is brutal. If you're lucky enough to get someone to answer the door, they either stare at you like your face is a festering pus sack until you shut up so they can say No! or they just slam the door in your face directly.
But I digress.
It was my first day, and after about an hour, I decided the job wouldn't work for me. I just didn't have the people skills to con people into worthless magazines they could get at the grocery store if they really wanted one. So I decided to knock on Jennifer's door, just for fun.
I'd had a crush on her most of my life. We met in kindergarten, and by the time we hit junior high, she was a stone cold fox, way out of my league. But we were friends all the way through high school.
God, I wish I could have fingered the shit out of her the one chance I had at senior prom. Her date, Brenden Fletcher, nicknamed "Jock with the Donkey Cock", got so wasted, he had to catch an Uber home early in the evening. Jennifer was so pissed, and understandably mortified. She would have no one to take back to the hotel she had to pay for since Brenden was a cheap douche with no shame. So she invited me to spend the night with her. My dumb ass just spooned her until we both fell asleep.
I've digressed again.
Anyway, I knocked on Jennifer's door to see if she wanted to go out and grab a coffee before I turned in my gear and told my boss to go find another sucker. But her mom answered.
In all the years I knew Jennifer, I never met Mrs. Stephenson. They looked eerily similar with the same shapely curves and big, ocean-blue eyes. She was wearing a t-shirt and blue jeans.
"Oh, hi, are you Mrs. Stephenson," I asked, caught off guard. She was beautiful. I wondered if she was wearing panties. Of course she was. I wondered what color. I wondered if they smelled a little at the crotch. I was getting hard.
"Yes," she said tersely, waiting for me to tell her who the fuck was at her doorstep. For a second, I forget I looked like a sorry sack-of-shit salesman.
