First day of the workweek, four more to follow, this one started off with a bang from the moment I arrived at the store. Late deliveries, missing components, pissed off customers, seemed like it would never end.
Around five oâclock, Penny called âHey big guy, wanna have a date tonight?â
âYes!â I shot back, knowing this was my wifeâs way of setting us up for a round of âus timeâ sans clothing.
âSo when are you going to close up?â she asked.
âAround nine-thirty, I have to balance the books before tomorrowâs audit meetingâ.
âOk sweetie, Iâll be the one in the kitchen wearing the french maids uniformâ she laughed.
âYea, yea, I love that visualâ
âI have another surprise for youâ
âShall I guess or do I have to wait until I get home?â
âLet me leave you with this thoughtâŠwhat was once soft and curly, is now smooth and silkyâ
âYou didnât!â I responded.
âMaybe I did and maybe I didnât,â she teased.
âBy honey, I gotta go, donât forget to close up earlyâ.
Her voice turned to a dial tone and she was off to her errands. Penny is fantastic I thought while reviewing the latest shipping list. Seven years of marriage and three of living together, she is my best friend and she looks fabulous, light brown hair that she keeps shoulder length, perky B cups and a runnerâs tight butt, best of all, she has the sexual appetite of a wild cat. Man, am I lucky.
At nine fifteen, two cops walked in the store and showed me some photos while asking me if I recognized the man and woman in the picture. My first response was ânope neverâ, but after a second look, I recognized both of them as the two I told to âget the fuck out of my dumpsterâ two days earlier.
Both officers immediately looked at each other and requested to see the dumpster. I led them around back and to the parking area. The tall one told me that the couple were suspects in a string of residential arson cases, and they would need to get a crew to immediately examine the contents of the dumpster and the surrounding area.
God dammit! what a shitty way to end a long day, I pondered calling Penny to tell her I would be late, and decided to wait a little to see if the whole mess worked itself out.
