I sat nervously, hoping that the interview I was about to have would lead to a job.
I'd been out of work so long that I was behind in everything. My apartment rent was 6 months in arrears. My car had been repossessed. My hair hadn't been cut in months. My girlfriend took off.
I'd ironed the shirt I wore that day by steaming up the bathroom using the shower, and used my hands to pull out most of the wrinkles. Most, but not all.
I had my freshly washed hair pulled back in a pony tail hoping the man interviewing me for the IT job would see me as one of those geeks.
"Mr. Wallace will see you now, sir," the secretary informed me. I rose and followed her to the office door. She opened it, I entered it.
"Come in, young man. Come in and have a seat. I've been looking over your resume` and am most anxious to meet you."
"Um, thank you Mr. Wallace," I said hopefully, as I sat in one of two chairs that were side by side.
"I understand that you lost your previous employment because of the pandemic."
"Yes sir. They were forced to close their doors when the lock-down was enforced."
"I see. Times were tough for a number of companies and many thousands of people."
I sat in awkward silence as Mr. Wallace scanned my resume`. Finally, he placed it on his desk in a folder and looked at me as if he was seeing me for the first time.
He got up from his desk. and came around in front of me. Mr. Wallace is a large man. His head once covered with brown hair was now balding and his combover wasn't working for him. He had a middle-aged paunch at his waist line. A muffin top they call it.
"Son," he began sitting beside me. "I know you're having financial troubles. I'd like to help you but you're simply unqualified for the advertised position for which you applied."
"I can learn, sir," I pleaded. "I can be depended on. I'm always ready to learn new things." I was becoming desperate. "I'll do anything for a job, sir."
He sat quietly, studying me. In sotto voce he said he may be able to help me. "You're sure you want to learn new things?"
"Anything you can throw at me, Mr. Wallace. I will give it my best."
"First young man, do you have family; a girlfriend perhaps?"
"No sir, I don't. My parents are dead and my girlfriend left when my finances went South."
"Any brothers or sisters?"
"None, Mr. Wallace. I was an only child."
"Excellent. Have you thought about going into customer service?"
I thought about it for a few seconds. "Mr. Wallace, it wasn't the job I applied for but I'm good with people. I'm non-confrontational. I'm courteous and polite."
"Yes. I'm sure you're all those things and more," he smiled.
He reached behind my head and took the rubber band off my pony tail, letting my hair hang loose. Using his fingers as a comb, Mr. Wallace parted it in the middle so that my hair hung down each side of my face almost to my shoulders. "Very nice."
He leaned forward, steadying himself with a hand on my thigh. His other hand moved slowly, softly using his thumb to trace the outline of my lips. "Full and soft," he whispered to himself.
I sat frozen in place as Mr. Wallace continued his exploration of my face. "Nice high cheek bones. Very pretty. Soft, doe-like eyes, arching eyebrows. Simply wonderful."
His hand began rubbing my thigh lightly, up and down and inside. I was unprepared for this and certainly unprepared for how my dick twitched involuntarily. Mr. Wallace noticed my growing erection and smiled. "Very good johnnie. You don't mind if I call you johnnie, do you?"
"My few friends call me John, sir."
"Yes. I'm sure they do. But I find it inappropriate for a sweet boy like you. I'm going to ask you to do something most unusual during an interview, johnnie. But for the position I'm thinking will best suit you and make you an asset to our firm, I must ask you to remove your jacket and shirt."
"I don't understand, Mr. Wallace. Why do you want me to remove my clothing?"
"Just a simple inspection son. Nothing sinister, I assure you. Now please do as I say."
I stood up and took my jacket off, "Where can I hang this, sir?"
"Wonderful. A neat boy too. Hang it over the chair johnnie."
I placed my jacket on the chair back and did the same with my shirt. I was standing in front of Mr. Wallace nude from the waist up.
He stood up and circled me. I felt his hands on my back, caressing me. "Smooth soft skin. Nice." Then his hands moved down to my waist. "Very small, that's good johnnie. That's very good."
His hands traveled down to my hips. Muttering to himself, I heard him say, "Narrow waist, wide hips, plump buttocks, Beautiful. Just fucking beautiful."
He came around the front of me. His hands roamed at will over my chest and tummy. "Nice big and round areola." He pinched my nipples. "Sensitive nipples. Very nice, johnnie. They like to be stimulated; I see."
"They've always been like that Mr. Wallace," I said wishing my dick wasn't so hard.
"Yes, johnnie. I'm sure they have been. You may put your shirt back on son."
My head was spinning as I buttoned my shirt. "Sir. May I ask what that inspection has to do with the customer service position?"
"johnnie, my boy. The job pays $500 a week to start. More if you prove to be the asset, I think you'll be. You'll have a company car at your disposal, you'll travel, and have an expense account."
"What will I be doing sir?"
"Servicing our clients, johnnie. Just like the position says, customer service."
"Forgive me but that tells me nothing Mr. Wallace."
He was prepared for my questions. "johnnie, our clientele have different interests. They will let you know what it is they want expect from you. Until then, get used to wearing your hair the way it is now. Let your finger nails grow a bit longer. Not much, just a bit."
"I'm going to give you an address of the hotel one of our clients is in at this time. Go there. Tell the front desk that you have a room reserved in your name, johnnie jones. They'll give you a keycard. In your room if they deliver it as promised, you'll find a box with some specialized apparel in it. There will be instructions for you to follow to the letter. Think you can do that?"
"Yes sir," I said ecstatic to finally be working again.
"Wonderful. On your way out, stop by the secretary and fill out the necessary forms and get the keys to your company car. You're hired my boy."
"Thank you, Mr. Wallace. I promise I won't let you down."
"I'm sure you won't johnnie. Now run along. Report back to me tomorrow morning after spending the night with our client. I want to hear every detail from you. And I don't want to hear a complaint from our client."
