Chapter One
I work as a midday DJ for a prominent radio station in the city. Every weekday I'm on air from 10 am until 2 pm, giving a hearty mix of music, news, weather, traffic, sports, and whatever type of on air babble I feel like. I only started the job in mid-January, so I was still learning my way around the city and meeting people. One warm afternoon in April, I decided to go for a run with my dog through the park. We went through the playscape and down by the lake. There were people everywhere. A mother and child were feeding ducks. A homeless man was digging through the trash. Some business types were eating at a hot dog cart while college kids were throwing a Frisbee. Then of course people were laying everywhereโsunbathing, napping, and reading.
I had planned on doing one lap around the pond, but I had noticed a beautiful woman reading the newspaper near the drinking fountain. Not just beautiful, gorgeous, one of the most attractive women I had ever seen. She had blonde hair, about shoulder length. She was about 5'5" and had the absolutely perfect sized breasts, being shown off in a little bikini top. When she rolled over onto her stomach, I got a great view of her rotund ass in little shorts that read "State" across them.
I circled the lake a few times and noticed her look up as I came by. Finally, I decided that I was "thirsty" and approached the fountain. I took a long drink, but made sure to not make any weird slurping noises. As I wiped a bit of excess water from my lips I noticed that my dog, Rusty, had just popped a squat on her sports section. I reached into my pocket to grab a plastic bag, but she said don't worry. To just throw away the section because she had already read it. I asked her if she was sure and she replied yes. I picked up the whole pile and Rusty and I went to go throw it in the trash.
I decided that this girl was so beautiful that I just needed to talk to her some more. I went to the hot dog cart and purchased two fresh squeezed lemonades. I carefully walked back to her, making sure to not spill everywhere. I sat down, handed the glass to her, and introduced myself. She said "OMG, I knew you sounded familiar. You're the midday DJ on 101.7"
I replied with a Yes, yes, that's me like I had many times before and then asked her what her name was. She replied, but this was not all she said.
"My name is Alison Donatelli. I grew up about an hour north of here. I attended State College and have a degree in business. I now run a small shop on Fairlawn St."
I told her that I had not even heard of the street, but she said that not many people had. It's a small artsy street on the northeast side of town. I asked for the address and told her I may stop by sometime.
Chapter 2
That was all on a Tuesday, so after I got off of work on Thursday I took the sub to 45 Fairlawn St. Above ground were some rustic early 1900's brown stone apartments and below was her shopโThe Paddle. As I descended it dawned on me that I really did not know what kind of store this was. I opened the door and saw that it was a women's shopโclothes, shoes, and some jewelry. As I walked in a bell rang and I heard a voice call out from the back room "I'll be right there."
I proceeded to look around a bit, but didn't have any reason to buy anything. After a few moments Alison emerged wearing a low cut black top and khakis that were so tight they looked as if they were painted on. She said that she was glad I had found the placeโsome people have trouble doing so.
We began talking and she told me that they were scheduled to close in 10 minutes, but she had to get a few things done first. Then maybe we could go get a drink. I told here there was a great place a few blocks up that we had promoted on the station, but first I would help her finish up. She said it was actually a blessing that I was there because there were some heavy boxes in the back that needed to be brought down.
She led me out of the front part of the store and into the back room. I was amazed as I looked around. This room contained incredibly sexy lingerie and sex toys. She glanced back and saw the look on my face and said, "Yes, I know. I wanted to do a kind of sex shop, but I was too embarrassed and didn't think it would do well enough so I coupled it with a fashion shop. It's been doing great."
So I moved the few boxes and then we walked the few blocks to the bar, where happy hour was just starting.
Chapter 3
We ordered drinks and sat at a quiet table in the back of the restaurant. She could tell that I was still feeling a bit funny about the shop, which I was.
"When I was 18, I had a boyfriend. He would play with me, but we never had sex. Then he moved away, but we still wanted to stay faithful to each other. To keep me busy in between visits I purchased my first vibrator that I affectionately called Fat Randy. Every day I would come home and play 3 to 5 times. Eventually, this got to be a bit boring so I purchased a double-ended dildo. I loved to wear sexy lingerie and stick the ends of the dildo in my vagina and butt. Then I would use Fat Randy to really drive me crazy."
Seeing my wide-open mouth she gasped, "Shit, I can't believe I just told you all of that. I am so sorry.
