Penny was missing her fuck friend, Gavin, who hadn't been around to please her for over a week. She was not in an exclusive relationship with him, so she could have gone in search of someone else for release, but she'd been so busy with classes and her job that there was little time left for any serious boy-hunting. And Gavin wouldn't be back for another couple days.
Even now, with the hands on her watch crawling past seven-o-clock on a surprisingly slow Saturday evening, Penny was at work in a lingerie shop in the mall. The customers had been coming through steadily throughout her shift, but not in the numbers she was used to. It probably had something to do with the near-blizzard conditions outside that had been coming and going since before the weekend.
Penny had just finished helping a customer when Sharon, the bitch assistant manager, snuck up behind her. Sharon was only 42, but she seemed much older. Not because she looked old, but because she tried so hard to succeed at the impossible task of looking 20. Collagen, a little plastic surgery, and a bad taste in clothes and make-up did help make her look attractive, but only attractive for someone who appeared to be in her late fifties, and anorexic. The one thing that was undoubtedly immature about Sharon was her attitude. She yielded power like a reckless teenager, and held grudges as badly as any junior high school girl.
Quite opposite of the bitch was Penny, who was no size two, or even a four, but carried the little extra weight she did have as good as anyone could. Her natural Ds looked prime to burst from the low-cut top she wore, and, this being a lingerie store, having the lacy trim of her crimson bra showing from beneath her top and framing her generous cleavage was by all means acceptable. There wasn't a client who met Penny that didn't steal a glance at her expertly displayed chest, man or woman. Her very plump, round ass would also get high marks, for it was consistently wrapped up in tight slacks or, as was the case today, a black mini-skirt. Penny was a little shorter than average, but nobody seemed to have trouble meeting her deep blue eyes. She had an adorable smile that was rarely missing, and her long, blonde hair was thick and lustrous.
It was probably this natural beauty that made Sharon hate Penny from day one, and Penny wasn't the only person who suspected that.
"Penelope," Sharon spat, using her full name like always, in some failed attempt to make Penny feel small. "There are two children in dressing room 7. Go take care of it."
The command was generic and concise because Sharon, in order to say as little as possible to those she loathed, which was most employees, spoke in code. "Children" meant that two people, whether they were sixteen or sixty, had entered a dressing room. One of these "children" was a male, and one was a female (and in the case that two females went in, they were referred to as "little girls"). "Go take care of it," meant that Sharon believed there was some hanky-panky going on, or that there soon would be, and someone was going to have to ask one or both customers to leave the store. And today, Penny was that someone.
Sharon was too full of herself to believe Penny would not do as instructed, so once the command was given, she went back to the sales floor. Penny headed to dressing room 7.
Dressing room number 7 was notorious for "children" and "go take care of it" orders because of its distance from the other dressing rooms. There were seven in all, and while the first six lined a hall with three on each side, seven was at the back of the hall, alone, and around a little corner. It was also larger than the other rooms, and because of the position of the overhead speakers, the music that played, even when at lower volumes, helped drown out sounds from room 7 more than from any of the other six.
Rumor was that it had once been a storage closet. Other rumors were that Sharon was pushing for it to return to a storage closet. Until that happened, there would likely always be couples going in room 7 together, utilizing it's seclusion and size to help them fulfill a fantasy of doing something naughty in a public place while wearing lingerie they didn't even own. Penny had considered buying some of the undergarments that were often left in room 7 and selling them over the Internet to horny teenagers and single loners desperate for a sniff of pussy.
Penny stood outside the curtain and listened, hearing whispers and nervous giggles. One of the whispers was definitely male.
"Do you need help with anything?" she asked politely.
Dead silence was her response, and then a young girl's voice replied, "No. Uh, thank you."
Yeah right, Penny thought. Did they really think she was that stupid?
"Okay," she said, trying to hold back her smile so she sounded more professional and serious. "I just thought you should know we have a policy against couples being in the dressing rooms unsupervised. Can you open the curtain please?"
Penny thought she'd get an "Okay, just a minute," as they hurried to compose themselves, but instead the curtain swung open right away, and a beautiful young woman was instantly in her face. The poor girl looked terrified.
"Okay, okay, please," the girl whispered, grabbing Penny's arm and pulling her closer, drawing her into the room. The girl's eyes shifted nervously from Penny to down the hall at the entrance to the dressing room area. "We're not doing anything. I mean, we haven't done anything yet."
Before she knew what was going on, Penny found herself fully in room 7 with the couple, and the girl was closing the curtain.
"Did you see my mom out there?" the girl asked, frightened nearly to tears. "She has a black sweater on and a bag from Macy's."
Penny didn't know how to react. "Um...no. I don't think so..."
"So she didn't send you?"
"No, miss. The manager—"
"Oh, thank God," the girl sighed, and she collapsed onto a chair in the corner of the five by six room.
There was a moment of silence, and Penny took the time to study the couple. She recognized them at once. Both had purchased things here before. The girl was actually a once a month regular, while the guy had just stopped in a few minutes ago for some perfume. Having rung up credit card purchases from both of them, she knew they were both 18, so at least they weren't actually children. Still, Penny herself was 18, though these two looked much younger. Apparently life experience really does make a difference.
The guy hadn't said anything yet, but looked guilty as hell standing in the corner, hands crossed over his crotch, obviously hiding an erection. He was fully dressed—even his heavy winter coat was still on, but that didn't mean his zipper hadn't come down yet. He was thin and tall, probably average height for a guy his age, and he avoided all eye contact. He was clean-cut and cute, but evidentially very shy. This was not a troublemaker, but a kid who found himself a little in over his head.
The girl had that same vibe. She didn't look like a horny slut looking to score in the dressing room for the twentieth time. She seemed like she would be a very sweet person, and her conservative clothes, all of which were still on, helped punctuate that image. She was an inch or two taller than Penny, and very thin, but not sickly like the bitch Sharon. Not that such things were indications of bad people, but neither of them had any visible tattoos or piercings. Penny didn't feel that they were here for some grand sexual adventure, and she was right.
"We really didn't do anything," the girl said, almost in tears again. "We were just going to...we've been dating for a really long time, but our parents have always been with us. I mean, we've only kissed with tongues like ten times. It's awful. And then he went away to college, and this is the first time we've seen each other in over a month..."
Penny felt terrible for them. She knew what it was like to be a victim of such sexual repression. Her parent's had been the same way. Fortunately, Penny had a big sister to help her learn to sneak around and have fun anyway, but apparently these two didn't have that kind of assistance. And the resulting problem with suffocating your kids was evident here: all three of them were eighteen, but Penny was the only mature adult.
"And your parents are with you now?" Penny asked.
"Our moms are," the girl said. "That's what makes it all so hard. Our parents are best friends. If we're together, then they come along. But we managed to get permission to walk around together, and so we came here to...well..."
Penny nodded. "I understand."
"Penelope?" It was bitch Sharon's voice, and she was right outside. "What's going on in there?"
Penny had a very sinister thought, then gave a friendly smile to the couple. "Give me one second. Just bear with me." She then threw open the curtain.
Sharon was startled, perhaps more so by the fact that everyone had their clothes on, and there was no indication of any wrong-doing.
"Everything is fine here, Sharon," Penny grinned, putting the emphasis on 'Sharon'. She knew Sharon demanded to be called by her last name and title. But if Penny were too nice, Sharon would think something was up. "These two clients are very interested in a few of our newer lines, and they asked me to help them find what they needed."
