Another day, another dollar. I am riding in my truck when I hear my pager go off. Damn the office-just when I thought I was about to go home and soak in a nice relaxing bath. I knew the drill. Call into the office get the address and report immediately to some high rise in the sky where some wealthy socialite lives with her rich doctor husband and her Ivy League kids.
Hello, all, I am Theodora better known as Teddy- Plumber to the Socially Elite. I am expected to be on call when ever one of these rich women accidentally drops their thousand dollar platinum wedding rings down the sink or when their toilets make a funny noise. Don’t get me wrong, I have been doing this for 5 years and the work is simple and it pays great.
I know you are probably wondering why I, a 28 year old woman would be a plumber in today’s liberated world. Well simply put, my father and two of my brothers are plumbers so it is in the family.
You would never guess by looking at me that I would be into such a dirty job. I am 5’6 with coco brown skin, long wavy hair and a smile to die for. It gets even better; I have been blessed with a 38dd chest and an itty bitty waist thanks to moms’ side of the family. No need to blow my own horn but toot toot.
I arrive at the house with the instructions that the owner has left the key under the welcome mat outside for me to go in fix the problem and leave as if I never was there. The owner was having a very exclusive dinner party at 5:00pm and she did not want any traces of the help behind. My payment would be left on the nightstand in the bedroom adjacent to the bathroom. Fine by me, I love working when no one is around then I don’t have to answer all those silly questions. I open the door with no problems and check my watch, 3:00p.m. Enough time for me to do what I gotta do and be out. I slowly walk into the bedroom and look at the pictures on the mantle. My eyes could not help but wonder to the lady in the picture. Tall, exotic looking queen. The type of woman that would never approach me. Most of them were too sophisticated to hang with someone like me but that is okay. I always leave each and everyone of my customers a “calling card.”
