Hi everyone! I am venturing into authoring enjoyable stories. I turn 50 in a couple of months, and I figure it is about time to start doing things I enjoy. Please let me know creative criticism, if you truly enjoy this story, and if I should continue or hang up my hat.
Thank you,
Enjoy!

"Hello Etienne! How's everything up your way?" said Eddie LaFlamme as the older logger walked bow legged into Eddie's Bakery on Monday morning. Etienne gave his customary grumble, in his thick French Canadian accent that the bitch could go to hell in a hand basket. The bitch he was talking about was his ex-wife who decided one day to just up, and move to Montreal because she didn't like the country life, or that Etienne was a logger and came home caked in mud, and smelled of chainsaw exhaust every night. It had been nearly 15 years since then, and Etienne had sworn off women.
Ginny LaFlamme came out from in back carrying a tray of fresh donuts.
"Eh," Etienne asked Eddie, "who's the new one?" "Oh, this is my sister Ginny. She just finished school over at UVM, and was good enough to come by, and give me a hand this summer with the bakery, and the folks ya know.", said Eddie.
"Ginny, this is Etienne LeGuerre. He's one of our regulars that comes down across the border to shop. He generally stops in every week or so." Ginny smiled, held out her hand and said, "Hello, Mr. LeGuerre. Nice to meet you." Etienne grunted, not bothering to acknowledge her greeting. Ginny looked at Eddie, who said, "Pay no attention to this old fart. He doesn't have any decent manners were women are concerned since his old lady took off."
Etienne looked at Eddie and said, "Just get my order, Eh?"
Eddie turned to get the order, and Ginny went to the counter, and said "Mr. LeGuerre, is there anything else I could get you? Coffee, juice?"
"Nope, just my order" but as she turned to walk away, Etienne gazed at her 22 year old breasts, and thought to himself how he would like to hold them and suck on her nipples hard. He liked larger women. It gave him something to hold onto as he was taking his satisfaction. Her big hips and round butt wiggled as she went in the back.
As Eddie was giving Etienne his order, Ginny was looking out the window from behind the counter, and caught Etienne's eye. She smiled at him, and waved. He turned and walked out the door. She ran out the side to try to catch him, as she just wanted to try to make his day better, by giving him an extra pastry. Daddy always said, try to make at least one person's day better every day. Today, it was Etienne's turn. She ran over to his beat up old logging truck as he was starting to get into it.
"What do you want girl?" he said gruffly.
"Just trying to make your day better Mr. LeGuerre.", she grinned. "Well, there's only one way to do that girl, and you are not going to want to do that." he grumbled.
"What could I do for you to make you smile?"
He got into the old Mack truck, slammed the door, and rolled down the window, looked down at her and said, "Fuck me!" With that statement he started the cranky diesel engine, and drove off, and left Ginny there, dumbstruck, open mouthed with the bag with the pastry in it.
Ginny walked back into the bakery, mouth still gaping. Eddie started laughing at the look on her face, "What'd he say to you?"
"I can't say", Ginny said incredulously.
"He's a hard-nosed old French Canadian, that never gets out of the woods, so don't give his rude manner another thought."
"Does he come down here a lot? Does he live in the area?" Ginny questioned.
"He doesn't live too far, but he is Canadian. I think he lives up near Magog, and comes down once or twice a month. Why?"
"I just have to wonder why he comes all the way down here to go shopping. Seems like it would be better for him to shop up in Sherbrooke." Her brother said, "They don't have a Wal-Mart up there." "We don't have one here either." she said. "Well, he sometimes drives over to Littleton, NH for supplies."
Ginny shrugged, and said "Whatever!"
She was thinking differently however. There was a slight tingle in her gut. What he said to her, has never been said to her before. In fact, no one ever suggested fucking to her. Not a guy, not a girl. No one. She was always the best friend, the person someone would confide in, the person who had the ever strong shoulders to cry on, but she was never the person that was considered sexually attractive.
