As 20 year old Teri stood at her till in the small local store she works in, she noticed a tall, heavily built older man, around 60, browsing the shelves, giving her smiling glances as he did so.
Teri, also being tall, blonde haired and with a very buxom, womanly figure for her young age, that her unisex polo shirt and trouser uniform couldn't disguise, was used to amorous male attention whilst at work, but this particular man had become a familiar face to Teri as he had been coming into the shop at least twice a day that week buying only single items, which Teri thought quite strange. He had already been in the shop a couple of hours previously to buy tea bags, yet here he was back in again; it's as if he was only buying these items as an excuse to keep visiting the store, arousing Teri's suspicion and curiosity.
At busy times, even when another queue was shorter or a new one opened up, the man always made sure to be in Teri's queue so as to be served by her, and even though the man always engaged her in friendly chat, Teri sensed that the man was tense and really wanted to speak to her about something but was just waiting to pick his moment or was just finding it hard to pluck up the courage.
On this occasion the shop was quiet; with the other staff in the back room there was just Teri and the mysterious man in the shop.
The man approached Teri's till, as usual clutching only one item, this time a small bag of sugar.
"Hello, back again I see...forgot the sugar, eh?!" said Teri with a smile.
"Ha, yes, I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on!" replied the man.
The man then asked Teri for a pack of batteries which were very low on the display directly behind the tills; she turned and crouched down low for the batteries, inadvertently displaying the top of a red lacy thong she was wearing as she did so. This didn't go unnoticed by the man who found that a very delicious site indeed.
The lacy thong Teri was wearing belonged to her mother, Julie, with whom she was still kind of living with just down the road from the store. Teri does have her own place, a one bedroom flat a couple of blocks away but she still tends to find herself at her mother's house half the time. Teri and her 41 year old mother are quite close, more like friends than a mother and daughter, and they frequently share their underwear.
The man looked longingly at Teri as she scanned the sugar and batteries with her dainty hands, and when the transaction was done Teri smiled at him as he picked up his purchases, and turned to head out of the store.
The man took only a couple of steps before stopping and turning back around to face Teri.
"What have you forgot now?!" Teri said said playfully.
"Haha, no, errm...I've been meaning to ask you something..." Said the man.
Realizing her hunch about this man's apparent unease was right, Teri awaited his question adopting a smile and friendly receptive body language.
"Are you Julie's daughter...Julie Banner?" He asked.
"Yes, yes I am...do you know her?" replied Teri.
"I knew it! you look just like her, and I knew she had a daughter called Teri."
"A lot of people say I look like her." Teri replied.
"I'm an old friend of hers, god I haven't seen her for 20 years."
"Really?! wow!" Teri said. By "old friend" she knew the man meant old boyfriend really.
"Her surname isn't Banner anymore, she reverted back to her maiden name after divorcing her husband - my dad."
"Oh I see, ok." said the man.
"What's your name then?" Asked Teri.
"David." He replied.
"I'll tell her you've asked after her if you like."
"No, no don't do that...if she's with someone else then I don't want to...well, you know!"
Teri was very intrigued and wanted to know more about this man and his connection with her mother but by this point other customers started entering the shop, So Teri suggested they meet later that day to talk more.
