Thatcher! Thinking of getting your picture done?" It was Tommy Parks, the kid who lived next door and mowed my grass every week. As always, he wore on...y faded jeans and an equally worn leather belt -- I often wondered what he did at school or during the winter. A few more years and he'd be starring in his own Diet Coke commercials.I struggled to switch my brain into conversation mode, but he evidently grew tired of waiting. "You gotta get one, they're really cool! Com'on, my mom is the most. "Clogs," he said."What's your name?" I asked the girl who was standing at my elbow, watching the proceedings."Ain't saying," she said, looking down again.I looked at the indenture contract. "Says Penelope Claggett, that right?"She sniffed."Get your shoes and come along. We'll get us some food." Rather go barefoot," she said.I offered her my hand and she stuck both of hers behind her, but she followed me to the town's only tavern and sat back in a dark corner, mouth a thin line. A fat tear ran. I shave slowly and carefully, and spend a few moments thinking about what Ill wear. I settle on a pair of khakis and a light blue denim shirt, and decide not to wear one of the baseball caps that is part of my standard weekend attire. Its sunny, but still cool, so Ill express my allegiance by wearing a baseball jacket instead. I get into the car, thinking that I should stop at the flower shop near my office before I head out of the city. Despite her love of flowers, red roses were long ago. Then I begged her to answer.Then she replied with a smile ”hmm”. Then I complimented her boobs and ass. And she slowly slapped me in a joking manner saying, ”naughty boy”. I asked her when did you lose your virginity. She replied on her 18th birthday by her bf back then. I called her whore jokingly. She asked me that am I a virgin, I said no I lost it last year with my ex. I said that, you have seen my thing but now its my turn to see your things. She said, ”thats not gonna happen”. I asked her.
