Let me begin by saying that this is a true story. Also let me warn you that my writing style may not be to your taste; it's fairly journalistic and I tend to shy away from graphic descriptions. I assume the reader has a working imagination and can fill in any details I may gloss over. That being said, here we go...
Since I know this is important to some readers, let me briefly describe myself. (Feel free to skip this paragraph if you want. It's not central to the story.) As of the time of this writing, I'm twenty-one and about to enter my final year at a small, private, southern California college. I'm majoring in English, so if you notice any mistakes... um... let's just call it artistic license, okay? I'm Asian (American-born Chinese), 5'2" tall, slim, pretty, and of course, modest. On with the show...
Shopping Spree:
All of the events described in this story happened during the summer break following my first year of college. I was born and raised in a small town in Wisconsin and was staying with my parents for the summer. I'm sure anyone who has ever lived in a small Midwestern town can tell you that there really isn't that much to do there; at least that's been my experience. My hometown is no different, so I looked for any excuse I could find to get out town as often as possible.
A few of my high school friends were students at the University of Wisconsin and, more than once that summer, I used them as my excuse to go to Madison for a few days. For those of you who have never been to Madison, let me tell you that it is completely unlike the rest of the state. Madison is very liberal, very young, and very "progressive". It's like the Berkeley of the Midwest. After having spent the school year in California, I felt more at home in Madison than in my hometown and took every opportunity I could to go there. On one occasion, I told my parents that I was going to Madison to visit my friends for the day, but I have to admit that I really had other plans.
As I mentioned, there wasn't much to do in my hometown that summer. Add to that the fact that my boyfriend was halfway across the country and you can understand why found myself masturbating in the tub almost every day while my parents were away at work. This was all good, clean fun but I like to have something in me when I do it and there really wasn't much around that fit the bill (believe me, I looked). So I decided that I would go to Madison to buy a dildo.
I checked the Madison Yellow Pages at the library and took down the names and addresses of a couple of adult bookstores. Armed with these and the excuse of visiting my friends, I set off to do the dirty deed. The perfect crime!
I drove to Madison and went to the one that had looked the most promising, the Red Letter Bookstore. It had a small parking lot off the main street and, after driving around the block a few times, I got up the courage to pull in.
