Toy Town was the biggest toy store in the state; it rivaled the other one with the big giraffe. I was a seasonal employee, a decent job to have during the winter break from college. Like most twenty-something girls, I had and affinity for kids and it showed in my work. I helped kids pick out toys on their Christmas list, and help parents find those toys. The pay sucked, but the job was fun. Hectic, but fun.
Another perk was the employee discount. I have several nieces and nephews that are all toy-buying age and I planned to pay cash for their presents this year, so that discount would help.
It was a Saturday before Christmas and the store was busting at the seams with customers trying to find a last minute gift. The managers had gone home and left Jenna in charge, which meant it was chaos on the floor.
Most employees tended to blow off their duties when the higher-ups were gone. I've even been known to do so once or twice. Okay, more often than that, but at that time, I was the only one working.
Somehow, amidst all the confusion, I find The Toy. The hot item that everybody wants this year, including my youngest niece. I grab it and head for the back where we keep the overstock and hide it. I'll get it after we close and no one will know, or they will but not care.
Two hours later and the store is still a mad house. People everywhere, kids everywhere. It was crazy. Then came the question:
"Do you have 'The Toy?'" a soft voice from behind me said. It was almost a joke and I turned around to face her.
She was tiny. A small woman that was my age in the way she carried herself, but a young girl in how she looked. Just barely over five feet and her waist was so small. She wore a low-slung light brown shirt that matched her eyes. Her hair was light brown with a hint of blonde and she wore it in ponytails, the kind that sit on top of the head and point backwards. The only thing big about her was her breasts; a modest C cup but they looked much larger. Her midriff was exposed and she had a flat stomach and a belly-button ring sparkled in the middle.
"I'm sorry?" I said quickly, trying not to let on that I was staring at this beautiful woman. She smiled as if she knew.
"The Toy. You know, this thing," she turned around and pointed to the in-store display. I stole a quick glance at her ass and her super-tight pants revealed a thong. She was perfect.
"Oh," I said, almost stuttering. "That! No, I'm sorry, but we're all sold out." I remembered the one I had in the back. Tough, it was mine.
"Really?" she said a twinkle in her eye. "I know all of you employees have one stashed somewhere. Tell the truth…"
I smiled and apologized again.
"I'll make it worth it," she offered.
