I was resting on my bed with my eyes closed, listening to my iPod with headphones on, when I felt something soft hit me on the forehead. When I opened my eyes, I saw my mother standing in the doorway holding a basket full of dirty clothes. With one hand, she was making a motion for me to remove my headphones, which I did.
"Brenda is having problems with her computer. She wants to know if you're free to go over and check it out."
"Yeah, alright," I said.
"Try to be nice to her, okay? She's going through a rough time right now with her divorce. If she asks you to hang out for a while, please do so. I'm sure she's very lonely and she'd really appreciate your company."
"Okay."
"And clean up your room, will ya? You're eighteen now. You need to start living like an adult." Then she closed my door, and I stared at the ceiling and thought about Brenda. When I was little, she used to baby sit me all the time. We had a lot of fun together and I really enjoyed her company. I always thought she was an attractive woman. She was in her late forties, but she acted like she was still in her twenties. She was fun to be around because she didn't take life too seriously and she was really playful. But what I adored most about her were her feet. And often times I would imagine what it would be like to be under them.

When I arrived at Brenda's house, I walked up to her porch and knocked on her door. I turned around and glanced at all the lawn gnomes she kept scattered across her yard. A few moments later her door opened. Standing before me was Brenda dressed in a blue top with white shorts and flip-flops on her gorgeous feet.
"It's so good to see you, David," she said with a smile. "Come in." As I stepped inside, she said, "You look so handsome."
"Thanks."
"You must have a girlfriend by now."
"Nope. I'm very much single."
"Really? We'll have to talk about that later...the computer is right this way." I followed her down the hall, into a room, which had been converted into an office, with slate blue walls and wood flooring. My eyes were immediately drawn to the shelf in the corner that she was using for shoe storage. I walked over to her computer and inspected it briefly. On her desk was a copy of
The Awakening
by Kate Chopin. "You know, me and technology, we don't seem to get along very well. I'm still trying to figure out what the hell cookies have to do with my computer."
"What's the problem you're having?" I asked.
"Well, I can't seem to get the Internet to work."
"Okay." I sat at her desk and checked her network connection.
"Do you want something to drink, sweetie?"
"No thanks. I'm good for now."
"Okay. Just let me know if you happen to get thirsty...I have some clothes I have to put in the wash. Do you mind if I step out for a bit?"
"No, that's fine."
"Okay. I'll just be down the hall. Give me a holler if you need anything."
"I will." As she left the room, the sound of her flip-flops slapping against her heels drove me crazy.
After assessing what was wrong with her computer, I glanced down at her tower and noticed that her wireless USB modem wasn't lighting up. I checked to see if it was still being recognized under hardware, but it wasn't. I then pulled the modem out and restarted her computer. As I waited for it to start up again, I glanced around her office. When her computer was finished launching, I plugged the modem back into one of the USB slots and it immediately began to light up. I checked the wireless signal and when everything looked fine, I opened up Firefox to make sure that her Internet was working, which it was. I glanced over at the door and listened for the sound of her flip-flops. When I didn't hear anything, I made my way over to her shoe storage shelf in a rush of excitement. My eyes feasted on the sight of her boots, high heels, and flats. I was nervous with anticipation as I reached for one of her high heels and held it up to my face. I took a deep whiff, but I was let down by the fact that they were still brand new and only smelled like leather. I set the shoe down and picked up one of her flats. As I gave them a closer look, I could see Brenda's dirty toe prints left inside them and my cock started to rise a little. Without thinking, I held her flat up to my face, stuck my nose inside them, and took a deep whiff. They were much smellier than I anticipated, but I loved it. I continued to sniff while imagining all the hours Brenda's feet spent inside them and I knew I had to have a taste. I stuck out my tongue and licked the inside of her flat. The taste of dirt and sweat mixed with my saliva as I continued gliding my tongue along the inside of it. I was afraid that at any moment, Brenda would walk inside the office and catch me licking her flat, so I set it back down and walked back over to her computer, and took a seat at her desk. At that moment, I heard the sound of her flip-flops coming down the hall.
When she stepped inside the office, she said, "Sorry I took so long."
"No worries."
"Did you figure out what's wrong with my Internet?"
"Yes. It was your wireless USB modem. It just had to be removed and plugged back in again. Your Internet is working now."
"Thank you so much," Brenda said. "I really appreciate you coming over here."
