NOTE: Thank you to all of you who sent me constructive criticism on my first submittal. Hope you enjoy my second attempt.
Jessica and I hang out quite a bit together. We have been best friends since we were eleven; now we both are nineteen and in college.
We were sitting in my apartment doing what we always did every Saturday morning, eating breakfast discussing our big plans for the day.
Jessica said "let's go shopping."
"For what?"
"Duh, Valentines Day is coming up" she said.
"Oh shit I forgot. OK, let me clean up the dishes then we'll go."
I hadn't been dating very long, about a year. Jessica on the other hand had been dating off and on since she was sixteen. I had guys ask me at that age too but I was too scared; I probably wouldn't be dating now if it weren't for Jessica giving me support.
After I finished the dishes we got in the car and drove to the shopping mall. Actually I don't know why we drove because the mall was only a couple of blocks from my apartment.
"So what do you want to look at?" Just as I said that we were approaching an adult novelty shop.
"Let's take a look in here" Jessica said with a big smile on her face.
"Are you kidding? That's too embarrassing."
"Come on, no one will see us. Besides I want to get my boyfriend something unusual this year."
"Ok but hurry up before someone sees me." I was so nervous I almost tripped over Jessica trying to hide from my own paranoia.
"Jeez watch where you are going" she said as she giggled.
Once we were inside I calmed down a little bit and started looking around. There was a huge magazine rack in front of me, video tapes to my right and lingerie to my left. Jessica disappeared behind the magazine rack. I wondered over to the videos and looked at the covers; not seeing anything interesting I went around the rack to see what was on the other side. I blushed when I saw a sales lady standing behind glass counter. She was thin but muscular with large shapely breasts. She had bleached blond hair that was cut very short and spiked. She must have been wearing contacts because her eyes looked like a snake's with a slit for the pupil. In her nose she had a small silver ring. She was wearing black leather pants and a tight black short sleeved shirt.
Seeing her freaked me out so I went over to the lingerie to release my anxiety.
I heard Jessica's voice "psssed come over here Allison."
I walked in the direction where I heard Jessica's voice come from and found her in front of a bunch of sex toys. "Check these out!" she said, picking up a latex dildo. She put it in front of her crotch and strutted around. It looked so funny I busted out in laughter.
"Stop it!" I said. By now I was almost in tears from laughing so hard and my sides were hurting. I bent over to get some air. Jessica then started poking me in the ass with it. I was in so much pain from laughing that I couldn't stand up so I reached behind me and grabbed the dildo. I remained bent over to wait for my sides to stop hurting.
I heard some footsteps coming from in front of me. As I looked up I saw Snake Lady emerge from behind the video rack. Oh shit! I stood up and straightened my hair.
"May I help you?" she asked.
