Unbelievable. I must be dreaming. There is no way that what just seemed to have happened, happened.
Here I am sitting on a box in the basement of my store. I'm surrounded on three sides with old, unsold, Christmas merchandise waiting for the next holiday season. My pants are down around my ankles and my dick still standing semi-rigid. If you had asked me thirty minutes ago if this situation were possible, I would have laughed my ass off.
I looked at the floor where there were several wet spots in front of me where my spunk had landed. Some were nearly four feet away.
No, I didn't jerk off, just in case you were wondering. I wouldn't be writing about something so mundane. Although, dream or no, this little episode will supply many wanking sessions with fantasies for years to come.
I pinched myself. It hurt. Okay, so it's not a dream.
If anything, that only serves to make this situation even more, unbelievable.

I've owned a small department store for about thirty years, 'Mel's Discount Madness'. In that time I've married, had several kids and been widowed for the last eight years. I still have a daughter that lives at home. She is sixteen and I seldom see her between school and her active social life. I never dated after my wife passed, mainly because my daughter didn't want me too. Now that I'm close to fifty and a bit (okay, quite a bit) out of shape, she's told me to go for it.
Gee, thanks, kid.
Two weeks ago I had a cashier quit without notice. It seems she had some sort of emergency during her spring break that required her attention down the shore with her boyfriend. Being so close to Easter, that's a bad time to be short handed. You don't want people walking out because there are long lines at the checkout. One of the other cashiers, Angie, said that she had a friend in high school that was looking for a job and asked if I wanted to interview her.
"Sure," I replied.
She snapped out her cell and called the girls' cell.
Isn't technology great?
"She'll be here in five minutes," she said, as she closed the phone and slipped it into her smock.
Wow, instant interviews. What's next?
Four minutes later, in bopped a girl still in her school uniform, complete with skirt, knee high socks and black and white saddle shoes. She was carrying on her back, what appeared to be the most over stuffed school bag that I've ever seen. Angie pointed me out to her, and the girl bopped over to me, stopping inches short of plowing into me. She pulled off the book bag and let it drop. It landed behind her with a thud, scaring the wits out of a customer that had been looking at magazines at the checkout counter.
"Sorry!" she said, and thrust a hand at me. I shook it.
"Hi! I'm Paloma!" she said enthusiastically, as she pumped my hand hard and then let go. "And you be?"
"I'm Mel, I own the place," I replied, flexing my hand to make sure nothing was broken. "You're looking for a job?"
"Yeah! It's funny too, because at lunch today, Angie and this girl Sally were sitting there talking about their jobs, and I was like, 'Damn I need a job,' and Sally who's my friend, but really isn't, but thinks she is, says, 'You're too stupid to get a job,' and I'm like 'Screw you,' and she says..."
"Paloma?"
"... 'you bitch' and I tossed my salad...yes?"
"Have you ever used a cash register before?" I asked, regaining control of the conversation.
"Oh sure. I was great. I worked for the burger joint across the street. 'Do you want fries with that?' I hated asking that stupid question all the time. And people would be like, 'If I wanted fries I would ask for them, bitch,' and I would be like, 'Well, if that's the way you're going to be about it, then...'"
"Paloma,"
"...'don't get the fries'...yes?"
"Why did you stop working there?" I asked, with my head starting to spin.
"I found out that I was allergic to the oil they used to make the fries. It was always cooking and that stuff gets into the air. Then I noticed a rash starting and it was like, all over me and I looked like I was from some horror movie. One guy pulls up to the window to get his order and looks at me and before he could pay he..."
"Paloma,"
"...puked at the site of my face...yes?"
"Do you have working papers from school?" I asked, again interrupting her verbal onslaught.
"I don't need them. I'm nineteen. I got held back in kindergarten. Can you believe that? I had the best party for my birthday. There were like twenty people there and it was a blast. My brother got us a quarter keg and we went nuts. Oh, and Mary had a crush on some guy, so we locked them in a closet together and then we..."
"Paloma?"
"... opened the door and took pictures... yes?"
"You're hired." I motioned for Angie to take her to the back and give her a smock.
"Aw, thank you, Mel," she said, as she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me on the cheek. "Angie was telling me the other day how cool you were. She said that you were the nicest guy to work for. We were in the movies and there was this guy who was sitting behind us, throwing popcorn at us. He managed to get some stuck in my hair and I was like, 'Hello, what are you doing...'"
She was still going on with her story as Angie dragged Paloma and her heavy school bag to the back.
"... and he was like, 'What's your problem, bitch', and I said, 'Your mom must lock you away when company comes', and..."
A few minutes went by and Angie returned. "She called her mom and can start work now if you want."
"Does she always talk that much?" I asked.
Angie thought about her reply and then said, "Not all the time. She was nervous and when that happens she deals with it by talking. Don't worry, she'll calm down. Do you want to start her now?" she asked.
"Sure, train her on the register," I replied.
Angie went to the back where the employee lounge was and brought her out. Paloma winked at me, bopped her way up to the register that Angie was using and watched Angie ring on it. She stood with her hands folded in front of her at the waist, twisting slightly from side to side with a big grin on her face. Several times she looked in my direction and winked again.
At least she looked like she was having fun.
Later that evening when Angie settled her register, it came out even. Paloma had rung on it for almost four hours after watching Angie and it was perfect. She was fast too, but boy did she talk. The customers didn't mind, as long as she didn't slow them down. She was a natural for doing two things at once.
