I parked by the door and went inside. Kelly had a pack of batteries in her hand but was now prowling the aisles. “Now what?”Kelly reached down and...picked up a box of Band-Aids. “We need some Band-Aids.”“Anything else?”“No, that’s it,” she said, smiling. “See? We won’t be late.”I just smiled and shook my head, as Kelly moved towards the counter. I looked out the front windows at that point, and it was then that my heart stopped. Climbing out of a blue Chevy with Alabama plates were three men.. She averted her sight and looked at something distant, unspecified. I noticed her hand shaking slightly. Now she looked as if she was going to burst into cry any moment. Instead, she took a deep breath and looked at me again. This time calmly, but still in a quiet, barely heard voice, she said: — Okay, if it's for you… If it means so much much for you… She pulled up her maid dress, exposing snow white panties. Once again she looked at me reproachfully, but said nothing and quickly took them. I took another three thousand from the account when I ‘bought’ them. At this point I had a little under sixty thousand in my nest egg and had stopped putting anything into my Roth at work, instead having a similar amount deposited to a separate savings account so my direct deposits wouldn’t change much. Add to that the little things Gina ‘had’ to have done to the kitchen that also came from my Roth and the equity and my Roth were just about on par with each other. It’s wonderful to have buddies. Eric couldn't have been much more than twenty, but was very good-looking. And in my old fashioned mind, there was no reason a young handsome man like Eric would want an old woman like me. While it's true I didn't look my age, and my figure was extremely nice for a woman of any age, I couldn't imagine a handsome young man wanting a desperate old woman whose horniness was driving her up the proverbial wall. Then, I thought of a way. When my husband died, he left me rather well off. I have.
