He was different. While other kids who worked in the shop took pleasure in chasing and stoning a haggardly dog, he fed and caressed every animal that crossed his way. Others wore mud-brown shirts that were supposed to look white; he wore colorful clothes with floral patterns. Too weak to resist anything and anyone, he would seldom be a victim of all practical jokes. Not a single day passed until he was laughed at, ridiculed or even physically harassed at the shop. What didn't kill him only made him stronger and immune to most emotional attacks that leave other mortals scarred and scathed. It improved his people skills by leaps and bounds. Pune is notorious for arrogant shop-keepers. However, he could easily connect with his lady customers, keeping them smiling if not giggling as he complimented and teased them. The connection, which others saw as a flirtatious act came to him naturally and with ease, for deep down, he had never really imagined him with any of his lady customers – or any girl for that matter.
Natasha is a kind of name which instantly gets a hundred friend requests on Facebook, but that wasn't quite the case with her. She was hundred kilos – on a valentine day. All her friends basked in seductive attention the dudes with raging hormones gave them, as she quietly walked down the corridor yearning for a second look. The cafe right across the road had a long waiting list, but that didn't matter. She ordered one to go. With her i-pod earphones snuggly plugged in, she carried an aloof image perfectly. Hurriedly she went home, grabbed one of those best-sellers that people read to sound well-read at the parties she could never attend. A coffee was a bad idea. It only made her think more. She needed something that could tame her torturer mind for it only churned melancholy. She poured herself a vodka, sunk into the comfortable Recron cushions on her sofa and pretended to read - a needless pretention. She was all alone in the house. Her roommate was out doing her thing of course. She could barely finish reading a line, when her mind began its torture routine again. "25 years and I'm still a virgin. Not even a smooch yet. I rushed too much with Sanjay. I could have had him. I was so close," she thought. Sanjay was a popular guy in her college. Natasha was just one of his friends. However, she fantasized about him every night. Many girls did. "All is not lost yet. He wore his blue shirt thrice that week. He thinks about what I say. His biceps are so... And they look even more so in that blue tee," she continued.
Her muscular and pristine vagina tickled. Without her knowing, her hand slid inside her slacks, ignored the feeble resistance of her panties, and started fondling the vegetation around her flower. She was unkempt. Almost by reflex, her index finger straightened itself and touched her rosebud. Then the middle finger joined in. Two fingers at a time. That was fun. She could feel her delicate hymen – the seal of her purity she was proud of. "Only Sanjay has the right to break this." she thought. About fifteen tickles later, she poured herself another vodka. She lay there and closed her eyes as she sipped.
The door bell rings. She hears it, but is too drunk to care. The door was open. After a longish wait, Suresh realizes that it's open, and walks in. "Three tops, four jeans, madam. Twenty-eight rupees." he says expectantly. She felt it agonizingly hard to get up, take out the cash from the purse and pay him, but she realized that it was too much to ask him to come back later. She had barely interacted with him before. Usually her roommate took care of such chores.
