Laura's New Job

Date with David

Three days later, on Friday, Laura’s insurance company called and said she could get her claim check from her local office.

            “How much is it?” Laura asked her agent.

He told her he couldn’t discuss it over the phone. Laura agreed to go to his office after work.

            “I hope it’s at least $3,000.”

Laura then called the dealer and asked for Elena.

            “Hi, Laura,” she said.

            “I have to go to my insurance agent and get my claim check today. I should be there to finish the paperwork today.”

            “Okay, not a problem. I am here until six,” Elena said.

            “I will talk to you later.”

            “So, after I have s*x with Elena she leaves? Oh, wait she said until six, not s*x,” Laura asked herself.

Laura left at 3 o’clock. She went to her insurance agent and picked up her insurance check.

            “Hey, Laura,” her insurance agent, Ron, said.

            “Hi, Ron. I understand you have something for me.”

            “Not sure what you are talking about.” Ron joked.

Laura laughed.

            “All I have is this.”

It was her insurance check. Laura thanked Ron and she went to the bank to cash it before they closed.

She went to the drive through.

            “I need a pen,” Laura said.

The teller sent a pen through the vacuum tube. Laura just simply wanted to cash it.

            “I better count it before I leave. That’s $3,600 going toward this car.”

The teller counted out the money and put it into the vacuum tube. It was mostly twenties, fifties and hundreds. As Laura took the tube out and got her money, she made sure the amount was correct.

The people behind her honked to try to make Laura move.

            “They will just have to wait. Straight people are so rude,” Laura said to herself.

She finished counting her money. She then put her money in her purse and went to the dealer to sign the paperwork for her car.

            “I am so excited,” Laura said to herself.

When Laura got to the dealer after five minutes, Elena was in her office.

            “Hi, Laura. How are you doing?”

            “I am good,” Laura said to her.

Laura got the money out of her purse. Elena started to print the paperwork.

            “We ran your credit. It was pretty good. You have a 720-credit score.”

Elena told her what bank it was through.

            “I hoped to get payments under $300 per month.”

            “We figured your payments it looks like they will be $292 per month.

            “Perfect,” Laura said.

Laura the signed all her paperwork.

            “Now, we sent the title directly to the license branch. You usually have forty-five days to get it transferred to your name,” Elena explained.

            “Okay, thank you Elena,” Laura told her.

As Laura left the showroom, she wondered if she should show it to David or Katie first.

Her phone rang. It was a number she didn’t recognize.

            “Hello,” Laura said with concern.

            “Hi, Laura. This is David, Buck’s son.”

            “Hi, David. How did you get my number?”

He said that Randall gave it to him.

            “Anyway, Laura. I wanted to know if you would like to go out tonight. I know you are a little older than me.”

            “I would love to,” Laura said nervously.

Laura had to think up a lie to tell Katie.

            “Where would you like to go?” David asked.

            “How about where we first met? Wendy’s. But I must go home to change my clothes first. I just bought a new car a few days ago. I just finalized the paperwork.”

            “Oh, what is it?”

            “It’s a 2018 Equinox. Do you know where I live?”

            “I think my dad does.” David told her.

Laura then told David that she had to get home.

            “I will see you later.” David said.

Laura told him the same. She hung up and called Katie.

            “Hello,” Katie said.

            “Hi, Katie. I just needed to let you know that I am not feeling well. Maybe we can go out tomorrow night,” Laura lied.

            “Okay. I understand.”

Laura said she would talk to Katie later.

            “I really hope Katie doesn’t find out,” Laura said to herself.

Laura then went straight home. She wasn’t sure what she was going to wear.

            “Maybe a sweater and little black skirt. Every woman should have a little black skirt. He may need to bring protection.”

When Laura got home, she told her father that David called and wanted to go on a date with her. She looked to see what she had to wear.

             “I feel like a slut. I have a girlfriend, but dating a man, also.”

Laura took out a sweater and her favorite little black skirt. She also relaxed for an hour.

            “I need to take a shower,” Laura told Randall.

Laura got undressed and went into the bathroom. She wondered who she really wanted to be with.

            “I’ve never been with a man. Everyone I’ve been with was a woman.”

Laura was seriously questioning her sexuality. She was playing with herself in the shower. She was nervous about Katie finding out about David.

            “I’ll go out with Katie tomorrow night. I am off tomorrow.”

Laura finished her shower. She ran to her bedroom. As she got dressed, she kept her phone close by in case David called.

            “I am going to look so sexy when David takes me out.”

Laura also put on pantyhose. Laura’s phone rang. It was Katie.

            “Hi, Katie,” Laura said.

            “How are you feeling?”

            “Not too well,” Laura lied.

Laura was fake coughing and fake sneezing.

            “You don’t sound well,” Katie said with concern.

            “I should feel better tomorrow,” Laura told her.

Katie told her to get some rest.

            “I will talk to you later,” Laura flirted.

Laura hung up.

            “I’ll get some rest, but, in David’s bed,” Laura thought.

A car pulled into the driveway. It was David. Laura met him at the door.

            “Well, are you ready?”

            “I am ready,” she flirted.

            “Bye, Dad.”

            “I’ll wait up.” Randall said.

            “Dad, I’m not a teenager anymore.”

Laura left with David. Laura looked up into his eyes.

            “I like that sweater,” David said.

            “Thank you,” she said.

They got in the car and left.

            “Did you see my new car?” Laura said excitedly.

            “That is beautiful,” he said.

Laura said that she was nervous going on a date.

            “Why are you nervous?” David asked Laura.

            “I’ve never been any dates before,” Laura lied.

            “Wow, you’re 30 years old and never been on a date with a man?”

            “I’ve liked a lot of guys, but never went out with any of them.”

            “I’ve had a few girlfriends,” David said.

            “Would you consider me to be your girlfriend?” Laura flirted.

            “I’m not sure. I hope it goes well.”

            “I hope Wendy’s isn’t too busy. It is Friday night.”

Meanwhile, Randall called Joan.

            “Hey, Joan. How are you?” Randall asked.

            “I am fine. I’m just upset that Laura is dating a man and a woman at the same time. I don’t like the fact that she has a girlfriend.”

            “How old is Laura?”

            “She is 30. The man she is going out with is 24. They are going to Wendy’s, which is where they met. I’d rather she go out with David.”

After a half-hour, Laura and David were at Wendy’s.

            “You can go on in,” David said as he opened the door.

            “Thank you, it’s slow right now.”

He let Laura order first. She wanted a spicy chicken, small chili and small frosty. David ordered his food. They both sat in a corner.

            “I’m really glad you asked me out,” Laura said to David.

            “You have really beautiful eyes,” David told her.

            “Thank you. Did you know I was older than you when we met?”

            “No, I didn’t,” David said.

Laura and David started talking about work. He said he worked at Tractor Supply as a stocker.

            “So we both work in retail,” Laura told him.

            “What do you like to do in your spare time?”

            “I like riding my four-wheeler. Last week, I was riding it and I was wearing a denim skirt. I had to pull it up so I could get my leg over the seat to ride. I forgot my panties were showing. That would have been embarrassing if people would have seen it.”

            “That is funny and sexy at the same time. One time, I went to Deam Lake with some friends. I dove in and when I came back up my trunks came off. I was completely naked in front of these hot women. They were in bathing suits.

            “That is funny. I would have liked to be there,” Laura told him as they were eating.

            “We both done wild stuff when we were younger. I am just so surprised you are older than me, but never been with a man.”

            “Don’t let that scare you,” Laura said.

Another man came up to Laura’s chair and bumped it.

            “Damn, asshole. I got chili on my sweater.”

            “What is your problem? I don’t know you.”

            “She looks like a slut. Are you going to take her home and sleep with her?”

            “That is none of your damn business, motherfucker.”

            “Maybe his ass needs to leave the store,” Laura said to herself.

The man then left.

            “That was bullshit. I have no idea who he was,” David said.

After they finished eating, David and Laura went to his apartment.

            “So, David. Do you like what I am wearing?”

            “You look so hot,” David said.

Laura was getting warm. She took off her sweater.

            “Aren’t you a little warm?” Laura flirted.

            “I am. Let’s go to the bedroom and cool off.”

Laura took off her shoes, skirt and pantyhose. David took off his clothes. Laura took off her bra and panties. She laid on his bed.

            “Hey, David. You never answered that man’s question.”

            “What’s that?” he asked.

            “Are you going to take me home and sleep with me?”

            “I’m not sure,” David said as he climbed on top of her and inserted himself into Laura.

            “I’m not wearing any panties,” Laura told David.

            “Where are the clothes you were wearing?” David asked.

Laura told him they were on the floor.

            “David, are you wearing protection? I don’t want to get pregnant right now,” Laura asked.

            “Yeah, I am,” he told her.

            “You don’t have any crazy ex-girlfriends, do you?”

            “No, why?”

            “I am afraid they will see you with a slightly older woman.”

            “Only if they are standing outside watching. Oh, s**t, I forgot close the blinds.”

            “Oh, my god. I am not wearing any clothes.”

David then closed the blinds.

            “This was more fun than pulling up my skirt to ride the four-wheeler.”

Laura and David got dressed. They sat on the couch and watched TV.

            “I need to go pee,” Laura said.

Laura went into the bathroom and used it.

            “What’s going to happen if Katie finds out about David?” Laura asked herself.

Laura was also afraid of what people at work find out about Katie and David.

            “Oh, good. There is a condom in the trash. At least I will not get pregnant tonight.

Laura finished using the bathroom and stayed two more hours at David’s.

            “I’m ready to go home. My dad is probably worried about me,” Laura told David.

            “Maybe we can go out again sometime,” David told Laura.

            “I would love to. Tomorrow, I plan on driving my new car.” Laura asked flirtatiously.

Laura got her purse. David took her home. He pinched her butt on the way to the car.

            “David, are you horny?” Laura asked.

            “I love that little black skirt,” David said, dodging the question.

            “I take it you’re not intimidated by me. I am shorter than you.”

            “You are so beautiful. I like blondes. Why would I be intimidated by you?” David said.

            “I thought it was because I’m older than you,” Laura said.

            “You seem to be worried because of that.”

            “I’m sorry. I was just nervous going on a date.”

On the way to Laura’s house, David stopped to get some gas.

            “I have two more weeks at the Madison Speedway. Then I transfer to take over the Clarksville store.”

            “You should be incredibly happy for yourself. A lot of people wouldn’t qualify to be a*****e manager.”

Laura was really trying not to say anything about Katie.

            “I try to keep my credit clean. That’s how I was able to afford my Equinox.”

David has a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado.

            “I love my truck. I hate putting gas in it,” he joked.

            “Don’t tell my dad what we done,” Laura laughed.

            “Don’t take this the wrong way. But, you look like a slut without any clothes on.”

            “You are really turning me on. I love being called a slut during s*x,” Laura flirted.

David got out and prepaid for gas. He stopped at Circle K in Hanover.

Laura thought about what she wanted to do the next day, Saturday. She considered going to sit on the stump in her father’s field.

            “I like going back there just to relax where it’s nice and quiet. I noticed Katie hasn’t called. She thinks I am sick. I’ll call her tomorrow and tell I feel better,” Laura said to herself.

Laura thought about driving her new car to test the four-wheel drive. She was nervous about getting it scratched.

David finished getting gas. He got back in the truck.

            “I was thinking about driving my car on my dad’s property. Would you like to join me?”

            “I would like to,” David said.

            “I am wondering how well the previous owner took care of it. It was a repossession. The owner may not have cared if he/she was about to lose it.

            “I’m sure. The previous owner probably still owes thousands of dollars on it.” David said.

            “They probably do,” Laura said.

After about twenty more minutes, Laura brought her home.

            “I’ll walk you to the door,” he said.

Laura wanted to get her paperwork out of her car.

David and Laura were hand in hand.

            “Keep your hand away from my ass. I don’t want my dad to see that.” Laura whispered.

David said that he had a good time. Laura thanked him for asking her out.

            “Hi, Dad.”

            “How did everything go?”

            “We went to Wendy’s and ate. We also went to my apartment to watch TV,” David told Randall.

            “What else did you do?” Randall asked.

            “No, David,” Laura told him.

            “We just watched TV and talked,” David lied.

David then went home.

            “Bye, David,” Laura smiled.

            “Laura, we need to talk,” Randall said.

            “Okay,” Laura said nervously.

            “I don’t like that you are dating Katie and David.”

            “Dad, I know. I am not sure who I love more. I met Katie first. David is a nice guy.”

            “What the hell is wrong with you? I don’t like your lifestyle. That is f*****g sick a woman being in love with another woman. Laura, I hate to say it, but you look like a slut,” Randall screamed at his daughter.

            “Dad, I wish Mom would have forgot her phone that one time. What really scared me was seeing the blood in the toilet when I cut my wrist.”

            “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

            “If I would have killed myself then, I wouldn’t be here now. You don’t even know Katie.”

            “Really? If you loved Katie, why the hell did you just come home from a date with David? That is bullshit. I don’t know her, and I don’t want to.”

            “Dad, I was only going out with David to give him a chance. I tried to convince him I was too old for him.”

            “But you went out with him anyway? Are you serious?”

Laura then brushed her teeth, put on her negligee, and went to bed.

            “I didn’t deserve to be talked to like that,” Laura cried.

She cried herself to sleep.

Laura woke up an hour later.

            “Why does Dad hate me? He called his own daughter a slut,” Laura asked herself.

Laura was holding her pillow and crying.

            “I wish Dad could accept me for who I am. I am his only daughter.”

Laura had to use the bathroom.

            “I do not feel sexy tonight.”

She finished and tried to go back to sleep. Laura went to the living room and watched TV.

            “I don’t even know what’s on right now.” Laura said to herself.

The TV was too loud, and Laura didn’t realize it.

            “Will you the damn TV down? I’m trying to sleep.”

She turned down the TV without saying anything. Laura tried watching TV but was too upset from how Randall screamed at her.

            “I must be an embarrassment to the family,” Laura said to herself.

She was so upset that she watched infomercials. She went in the kitchen to look at her paperwork for her new car. The dealer even provided the CarFax report. She saw where it was repossessed from Pennsylvania. Laura stayed up until 1:00 A.M.

            “I wonder why Chandler Chevrolet went all the way to Pennsylvania to buy my car. I doubt the previous owner will try to find me to get their car. Whoever it was already destroyed their credit.”

Laura took her paperwork and put it by the front door.

            “I don’t think I will get much sleep tonight,” Laura said to herself.

Laura went back to bed and tried to sleep. She was so upset she couldn’t think about her job.

Laura cried herself to sleep.

Laura woke up at 8 AM the next morning. She went to the kitchen to get breakfast. She had sausage and oatmeal. She added water to the electric tea kettle and waited for it to boil. As she microwaved her sausage, she sat down.

            “Good morning,” Randall said.

Laura was still upset so she didn’t say anything to him. She went to get her sausage out of the microwave. The water was boiling, so she turned off the tea kettle.

            “I said good morning,” Randall said.

            “I heard you the first time,” Laura said angrily.

She started eating. After she was finished, she went to watch TV.

            “Would you want to sit outside?” Randall asked his daughter.

            “If I wanted to, I will.”

            “Are you going to put clothes on?”

            “Last time I checked a negligee was clothing,” she said sarcastically.

            “Laura, sweetie what’s wrong?”

            “Dad, you really hurt my feelings last night. You screamed at me when I didn’t deserve it. You said you hated my lifestyle. You even said you didn’t want to meet Katie. If you must know, David and I did have s*x last night. Oh, and I forgot, you called me a slut.”

            “Okay, that I did not need to hear,” Randall said to her.

Randall then apologized to his daughter.

            “Sweetie, I love you no matter what. I was just mad that you were cheating on one of them.”

            “I’ll have to think of a way to keep each one from finding out about the other.” Laura said.

            “Laura, you really should make a decision. Eventually one will find out about the other.”

Laura wasn’t sure what to do.

            “I don’t want to hurt either one,” Laura told her father.

            “But, you lied to Katie when you told her you were sick.”

Laura decided she was going to go on a date with Katie that night.

            “Laura, when are you going to tell her?”

            “Not now,” Laura told her father.

Laura then told her father her new car was repossessed from Pennsylvania. She decided that she may drive it around just to have something to do.

            “Okay, that is a beautiful car.”

Laura then got dressed. She then went back to sit on the porch.

            “I don’t have to wear skirts all the time,” Laura said to herself.

She decided to wash her clothes. After she put her clothes in the washer, she decided to ride the four-wheeler. Laura also took her phone with her. Laura got off the four-wheeler and sat down. She lit a cigarette and listened to how peaceful it was.

            “Back here, it doesn’t matter if I am gay or straight or bisexual,” Laura said as she questioned her sexuality.

Laura was wondering if she was bisexual.

            “I’m either bisexual or I’m just a dumb blonde who doesn’t know what she wants. Dad really hurt me last night. I’m still upset with him.”

Laura then smoked her cigarette.

            “In a few months, It’ll be too cold to come back here.”

She decided to relax for a few minutes. She got back on the four-wheeler and rode it another forty-five minutes.

She then parked the four-wheeler and went back to watch TV with her father.

Laura found a show about house flipping.

            “I am surprised by how much people are willing to spend on fixing up a house,” Laura told her father.

Laura then put her clothes in the dryer.

            “I am going to drive my car back through the fields and try out the four-wheel drive. I will be back shortly.”

            “Okay,” Randall said.

Laura then left to drive back in the property where she lives. She tried to be careful not to scratch her new car.

She loves the four-wheel drive.

            “If I have four-wheel drive, I can use four-wheel drive if the weather gets bad.

Laura tried not to get her car scratched.

            “Katie is going to love my Equinox,” Laura said to herself.

Her phone rang. It was Katie.

            “Hi, Katie,” Laura said flirtatiously.

            “Are you feeling better?” Katie asked.

            “I slept a lot yesterday after I got my new car. I got $3,600 for my Cobalt. I put almost all of it down on the Equinox. It’s rated at about 26 miles per gallon.”

            “I do know that they generally get good gas mileage.”

            “Did I tell you it was repossessed from Pennsylvania?”

            “No, I wonder why a dealer here would go all the way to Pennsylvania to a car auction,” Katie inquired.

Laura said she had no idea.

            “Katie, would like to go out again?” Laura asked.

            “Lisa just invited me to her house for a get together with family. I won’t be able to,” Katie told Laura.

            “Okay,” Laura said.

Laura sat in her car wondering what to do the rest of the day. She rode around for awhile longer.

She loved how soft the ride was. Laura noticed the TPMS light was on. Laura went back to the house and checked the air. She also looked in the glove compartment for the owner’s manual.

            “s**t, no owner’s manual? I think I can order one online.”

Laura decided to order an owner’s manual from the dealer.

            “Laura, did you want to go out to get something to eat?”

            “Okay, where?”

Randall recommended Subway in Hanover.

            “I’m ready. How about we take my car for a change?”

Laura brushed her teeth and went to the car and waited for her father. Laura started the car.

            “Laura, I am so sorry for last night. I know you are a grown woman and have to make your own decisions.”

            “Thank you. I asked Katie if she wanted to go out when I was in the fields. She said she had a family gathering to go to. I really feel bad lying to her.”

            “Maybe she lied to you, also.”

            “I hope not,” Laura confided.

Randall ordered what he wanted. Laura then ordered. When the sandwiches were made, Laura offered to pay for both sandwiches.

They got their drinks and sat down.

            “Would you want to help me mow tomorrow?” Randall asked Laura?”

            “Absolutely,” she told her father.

After Randall and Laura finished, they left and went home.
