Closing the door to Miss Terry's house I couldn't help but be a little pissed off. Who does she think she is talking to me like that? I'm starting to understand why her husband left her in the first place. Cold hearted bitch!! I get kicked out and left with this laundry list of things that I need to do, nothing that she needs to do, everything that I need to do. I'm done with this. I'm taking her money and telling her to get bent. This whole thing was her idea in the first place!! Now she is going to get all pissy with me because I'm not the greatest sexual person she is ever had? Well excuse me for not being a whore!!
I undo the lock to the house and before the door is all the way open I'm met by my mom's voice.
"How did it go honey?" She says with way too much excitement. "When are you going to start working? How much is she paying you? Do you need anything from us?"
The barrage of questions was a little much after the already disappointing night, "It's not that much, mom. Can I get inside please?"
My mom soon realizes that she is crowding the doorway, "Oh, sorry Wally. Come in and tell me."
"There isn't much to say" I turn and close the door and face my mother. "She said she wasn't feeling me cleaning her house but said that she would call me if there was anything else that needed to be done, like cleaning the gutters and raking up leaves. Nothing too serious."
My mom looked at me with an angry face, "That isn't what we agreed upon! I should walk right over there and speak my mind to her."
I watched as my mom grabbed her coat to head outside, I almost wanted to let her go just to interrupt Miss Terry's masturbation session but I thought better of it. I grab my mom's coat and put it back in the closet.
"Just let it go. At least she agreed to help me out a little bit. I'll take what I can get until I find something more permanent."
She still looked a bit upset but calmed down a bit. When she took a couple of deep breathes she said, "You're right, I guess. You better be looking for something permanent!! I'm tired of looking at you."
I couldn't help but be a little relieved watching my mother walk back to the living room with my dad, who hadn't moved from his chair and newspaper. I began to head up the stairs to my room when my mom shouted, "Do something about your hair!! I'm sure that you looking like a shitbag didn't help your cause any."
I roll my eyes and make my way up to my bedroom. I push my door open and relief floods over my whole body. I'm back in my sanctuary. I crumple up the yellow paper and throw it in the trash. I'm done with that crap. I walk over to my bed and flop down in the middle, staring at the ceiling and the bright red Ferrari that I look at and dream about every night. I close my eyes and dream about the top down, cruising through some curvy road on the coast of France with some beautiful dark haired woman in the passenger's seat.
I'm stuck in a trance of happiness when I suddenly open my eyes and begin to think, how can I get that kind of money? This is really kind of good thing I have going here, how can I improve on that? I sit up from my bed and eyeball the lone crumpled piece of paper that is in my garbage can and a begin thinking about what future can come from that one piece of paper. I think about all my friends and the jobs that they do flipping burgers, construction, or working as some bus boy in some crappy restaurant for minimum wage, and I don't want that. I want to be someone else and that paper is the key.
I walk over and pull the paper out of the can, as I do I also end up pulling a piece of gum that is attached to the bottom of the can but is also attached to my paper. I grab another piece of paper and wrap it around the gum and yank the whole gob of gum off of my key to success. I throw the gum paper in the can and unfold the yellow paper on my desk and begin to read through some of the things that were highlighted thinking that I might be able to knock of few of them out tonight.
I already know what the first thing is going to be on the list, so I go to the bathroom and grab the hair clippers set that my dad uses to shave his head. I know it is pretty fucked up to trim your pubes with your dads clippers, but I'm sure there is a long list of people that my dad has pissed off that will get a warm feeling deep in their hearts knowing that someone is getting back at him somehow. Heading back to my room with clippers in hand I feel something that I haven't felt in a long time, drive. I know what I want to do and I'm going for it and there is nobody that is going to stop me.
Getting back to my room, immediately close my door and lock it. I throw the clippers on the bed and close the curtain to my window. I look at the full body mirror that is hanging on the back of my door and start to flex my arms. I try for all it is worth but I can't even get a little bump to appear on my arms. I think to myself, screw this, I need a no bullshit assessment of what I have and what I want to have, so I take off my shirt and throw it on the floor. I undo my pants and pull my pants and my underwear down all at the same time. I stand up and look at myself in the mirror and see my socks still on, so I reach over and pull them off and toss them over with my pile of clothes.
Looking at myself in the mirror I began to understand why Miss Terry was so disappointed; I looked kind of nasty. How is it possible to be six foot two and be this skinny? You could see my ribs for god sake. I have to do something about this, I thought, but first thing is first. I gaze at the hair that surrounds my cock and balls and know that it must go. I grab the clippers and plug them into the wall socket and then I grab my garbage can and put it under where I'm going to be shaving my pubes. I turn on the clippers and look at the patch of pubic hair one more time before I begin to start shaving.
