We really do get all types here in the store. It’s not a bad thing, though. Younger folks, older folks, folks with plenty of sexual experience, and others who are just discovering themselves or trying to discover something new. Some people seem to think that the only people to ever set foot in a store like ours are perverts or even sex workers. I don’t understand how that mindset happened, last alone why it still persists in this day and age. People are far more open to things now than when I was a kid, but I guess that even there’s a limit to that. It’s one of those things, really.
Not quite legal folks coming in, thinking they’d be able to buy whatever they wanted without any issues; conservative types who step in, in hopes of turning the place upside down for some reason, the parents coming in with their kid in tow; I’ve seen it all, it feels like. The latter hasn’t been that much of an issue, but I’ve seen parents with preteens coming in and that’s one of those things I really don’t get. Not that there’s any shame in not hiding these things from those little eyes and little minds but, to me, it feels too early for these kids to even really learn about this stuff.
Then again, it’s not my decision to make so I know I have to let it slide.
Of all of those people I’ve seen, met, and spoken to during the years, there certainly was one thing that I hadn’t ever encountered before, and it did leave me fairly… I don’t know that the right word would be confused; I wasn’t confused, I was sort of unsettled in a weird way. I really can’t explain my own feelings on the situation all that way.
I’ll try to make what feels like a long story short, though; here’s something. In comes this couple. It’s clear they’re together. Hand-holding, the little not-so-subtle glances they throw at one another; the fact that they shared a really messy as hell kiss out front before they stepped in too. It’s in the little things. If they’re not a couple, they’re sexually active together which was the reason for their stepping into the store.
The man clearly knows where he’s going, he’s nearly dragging his partner—a beautiful woman—towards the back section where the double penetrators are settled. If he’d taken her to the strap-on wall, I’d have figured he was curious about his own discoveries, but the double penetrators aren’t for everyone. I’ve heard plenty of women talking about how they don’t mind their husbands experimenting, but that filling the two at once is just too much.
From the look on her face, she looked completely uncertain about the idea and if he hadn’t been holding on to her hand the way he was, I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t really have been anywhere near that section at all. They’re quietly talking, I don’t really hear much of what they’re saying, but at one point, her words are a little louder and all I hear is her asking him if he thinks it might really be a good idea at all to flip a coin to determine which one he wanted because she wasn’t even sure if she felt ready for any of it.
Now, usually, I mind my own damned business. I’ve only ever had to call the cops once in the years I’ve worked here and that was more than enough, if you’re asking me. We’d had a group of jocks coming in—they were a few years younger than me, but I did remember them from school. It wasn’t quite right to call them jocks anymore, I guess, but it was the type. They were clearly boozed up and ready to cause issues. They only managed to throw a few displays to the ground before the cops were in to deal with them.
This couple, though; I didn’t have to do a thing. As it so happened, Reina waltzed right in, a little late as usual but it just meant my pay cheque was a little bigger than it should have been. She’s such a loud soul that it’s hard for anyone to not look up from what they are doing to her when she makes her entrance. It always makes me smile.
I saw the woman slink right on out past Reina moments after my coworker had made her entrance. Her partner called out to her a few times moments later, as though somehow, he hadn’t seen her slip out, and, a few minutes later, as though it would take that long to go through the whole store to try and find someone, he was walking out of that door too.
Reina looked confused and asked me what that was all about, I relayed the info just in case they came back and, well yeah, that was it. I clocked out and I was plenty content to just be on my way home.
