Her long blonde curls bounced gently as she walked. Her long slender legs went for miles and her hips swayed gently with each step. She stopped in front of one of the poolside chairs and set down her towel, reaching back, she straightened her bikini bottom before sitting on the chair and sliding back so that she could relax comfortably. Pulling a bottle of sunscreen out of her bag, she offered it up to him to rub on her back.
"Excuse me," a particularly annoyed woman in her forties said loudly, wrenching him from his day dream. He straightened his glasses and looked at her, a smile immediately crossing his face out of instinct. Working in customer service did that to you.
"Yes ma'am, what can I get you?" He said calmly, the woman rolled her eyes, a young girl clutching her hand.
"For the third time," she said maliciously "I'll take a pepsi with extra ice and a small vanilla soft-soft serve for the girl.
"No problem, ma'am." he said stepping into the back of the booth. Living in Las Angeles his whole life, he was 19 and had just graduated from high school. Unlike most of the members of society in LA, his mother was a stay-at-home mom, and his father had raised he and his two sisters on the salary of a bus-boy at a local Italian restaurant. Needless to say, his parents hadn't had the money to send him to college and he was saving the money he made from this cheap little popsicle stand on the beach. He had only agreed to take this job because it was the beach and he could watch all of the beautiful women as they strolled from the showers out to the pool to sunbathe and then the quarter mile up a beautiful palm-tree-lined trail to the most secluded nude beach in all of the Pacific Coast. Of course it was just his luck that the stand was so close to civilization and most of the women, prettied up and pampered with the most expensive spa's and bathing suits from their daddy's credit card, didn't even take their tops off until they got down to the beach. He stepped slowly up to the counter with a large foam cup of pepsi filled to the brim with ice, and a small vanilla cone, three twists, as noted on the soft-serve machine.
"Here you are ma'am. One large pepsi with ice and a small vanilla cone for the pretty little lady." He said handing the cone directly to the little girl. The heavyset woman pushed the little girl behind her and ripped the cone from his hand.
"So not only are you a perverted slacker, watching these spoiled little sluts with their daddy's credit cards, but you are a child molester too?" She practically screamed, waving her hand toward the group of girls that had just happened to catch his eye as he handed the cone to the little girl. They were heading up the trail toward the beach, clearly out of earshot.
"I'm sorry ma'am," he said, pulling back. He moved to the register "Here, let me get your total..." He said slowly. Trying to be careful not to set her off again.
"Absolutely not, I'm not paying..." She said, his attempt apparently failed, before turning on her heal and stalking off down the trail, her little girl in tow. He sighed. His boss, Alejandro, stepped up behind him. Alejandro was a good man, but he was always concerned with business.
