'How many people'll be there?'
'I don't really know, three or four, probably.' She had never taken on that many lovers at once-but, she thought to herself, there's a first time for everything.
A haze of fantasies covered the rest of Tami's quiet work day. Visions of a wild scene, an orgy conducted with normally dignified gentlemen, put a smile on her lips and a twitch in her thighs.
That evening she and Joe went out for a ride. Cool weather made them both feel glad to be outdoors for a change. Driving in the direction of The Grove brought it up as a subject.
'I wonder how Louie's doing,' Tami thought idly.
'Louie? Oh, the caretaker… I have no idea, haven't seen him in quite a while…'
He lit up a cigarette and fiddled with the radio dial.
'Ya know, Tami, we had some great times up there at The Grove. Our parties…'
'Oh, yeah, that's for sure,' agreed Tami.
'We were a lot different then.'
Tami laughed, remembering her fear at the prospect of being balled for the first time.
'That's right, weren't we, though.'
'As a matter of fact, though, I'm glad that we all got loose enough to… well… swing with everybody else. Aren't you?'
She considered this question. There was no doubt that she had felt quite sexy and desirable lately-especially since she opened her secret ‘office' in the market. But she hadn't told Steve about it, because, well, there are just some things that are better left unexplained.
It flashed through her mind that perhaps he had somehow found out about her adventures. She glanced at him to see if he looked as though he were leading up to something. Nothing could be detected in his impassive expression. He concentrated on turning a corner.
'Yes,' she continued, 'I'm glad too, cause it's exciting to know that you're (she nodded toward him) sexy to other women… and it's so nice to watch your body move when you fuck.'
Joe smiled through a cloud of cigarette smoke.
'That's pretty much how I feel, too! It's nice to see you turn oh men. It makes me feel hornier for you.'
They stopped briefly for a red light.
'Ya know something strange?' He paused, then continued:
'Well, the thought struck me that you'd probably make a terrific hooker.'
Tami held her breath. It seemed like he had found out about what she was doing.
Suddenly Joe slammed on the brakes to avoid a truck that stopped short just ahead of them. The subject was forgotten. Throughout the evening Tami thought about this comment. She was amused that Joe considered her fit for her new occupation. Maybe someday she would tell him all about it.
Chapter 13
Crowds of people swarmed throughout the store the following day. The supermarket was conducting one of its biggest sales ever, and shoppers by the score were taking advantage of the bargains. Tami, Roberta, and all of the other checkers were extremely busy.
All day they rang up and bagged groceries, and by afternoon their arms were tired and sore from lifting so many items.
Leo didn't get a chance to speak to Tami until it was time for her shift to end. He rushed up to her, out of breath and red in the face.
'Christ, what a day!!! I've never seen so many fuckin' people!'
'That'll sound good to the district manager!' Tami suggested.
'Oh, yeah… hut it might look too successful!'
She remembered what Leo had told her about tentative plans to transfer him to another store even if business improved, which it certainly had.
'Don't worry about it m sure tonight will be just fine.'
'I hope so. Anyway, you deserve a break, so go home and rest awhile… Just be back here around 8:00.'
'O.K., Leo.'
'Oh, and wear your uniform, please?'
When Tami returned to the store, the district manager had already arrived. Through the plate-glass window she saw the figures of three men surveying a display near the office. She recognized Leo with the two people who would determine his future. One was middle-aged, with greying hair, of medium build. The other was slightly younger, small, with brown wavy hair.
She entered the store and noticed that several other employees were still at work filling the vacant spaces where customers had devoured the stock during their bargain hunting.
One of the stock boys met her at the door and informed her that Leo had left a message for her to 'start work in the back'. She then headed down the produce aisle towards her private abode. She picked up a few pieces of fruit and disappeared into the back room, an idea brewing in her mind.
After lightly tapping on the door of the room, she heard it open a crack. Anna peeked out.
'Come on in, Tami.'
She entered the room and quickly shut the door behind her.
'How are you, Anna?'
'Just fine… here, have a drink.'
From the woman's relaxed manner, Tami assumed that she had already had a few drinks to calm her down for the evening ahead. The girl knew she was nervous because the outcome of the next few hours determined whether or not Leo would remain in the locale with her.
Anna looked smashing. Attired in a tight cocktail dress, her bare breasts practically poked out of the deep slit in the bodice. The skirt was quite short, showing off her splendid legs to their best advantage.
'This should be quite a gas,' laughed the older woman. 'Did you catch a look at the bosses?'
'Just a glimpse. They looked O.K. to me. One seemed to be in his forties, the other a little younger.'
'Leo said that they generally have a couple of drinks in his office. He keeps a bottle there for special occasions like this,' she added.
'Good, so when they get here they'll be ready for most anything.'
'I hope so!'
Tami remembered the plan she had conceived.
'Anna, look at this,'
She held up a ripe banana.
'Yeah… so what?'
'Well, why don't we sort of get involved with our products? We can play around with these, and feed them grapes, and…'
'That's a great idea!'
'It'd be good publicity-it shows we like what we sell!'
They both enthusiastically agreed to find other likely products and decided to go out on a store-wide scavenger hunt to get them.
'Just a minute. I'd better not go. Look at the way I'm dressed.'
She motioned at her sexy outfit.
'I don't want to spill the beans too early.'
Tami laughed.
'O.K., I'll do it.'
Quietly leaving the stockroom, she nonchalantly moved throughout the store picking the necessary items. In a few minutes she returned with a handful of various groceries.
'Shhhhhhhh,' Anna warned. 'I think they're coming.'
Footsteps approached. The door opened. Leo led the way, followed by the other men.
