Chapter 2
#2 of Silk, Lust and Memories
Here's the next chapter, Enjoy! ^.^
As the sun rose on the next day I woke up feeling restless with a throbbing erection. An ice cold shower curbed that rather quickly as I began washing my body. Once clean and dry I exited the bathroom then got dressed shortly after. The next thing on my list was a nice healthy breakfast before leaving. Before I could make myself something the phone starting ringing so I grabbed the nearest phone.
"Hello, who's this?" I asked answering the phone. "Oh, good I caught you before you left the house. Sweetie, I know you're on your way to the hospital to get an update on my health. The doctor in charge of my treatment, would like you to come by later this evening. So go handle the store then come here after closing up." She instructed calmly. I went to say something but, she told me not to worry then hung up.
With that being said I made my way downstairs to the store to get the place ready for business. As I arrived at the front door, Dusty just exited her car and stepped onto the sidewalk. "Morning, kiddo heading off to the hospital?" She asked smiling. I told her about the phone call I had a few minutes ago with my mother. She didn't say anything then happily unlocked the door then we went inside.
We didn't waste any time getting things turned on, floors vacuumed and displays straightened. By the time we got halfway done someone was knocking on the door. Dusty stopped what she was doing then walked over towards the front and opened it. She greeted the person and wasted no time talking as they came down the stairs. As I entered the storage room I had assumed it was the new employee that arrived.
As I went over the list of supplies that we had in stock and we needed to order. I could hear them coming towards the storage room, while I kept checking things off. The door opened then closed a short time later, Dusty called me over. So I put the clipboard down after checking off one more thing and walked over. When I rounded the corner to see Dusty and a new face standing there my brain froze.
The mature clouded jaguar female standing next to Dusty, was someone I knew in high school. She was a popular substitute teacher along with being a big tease and temptation. Especially among the hormonal male students and pent up male staff. Though what puzzled me is nobody can recall her having a boyfriend or husband. Somewhere inside me actually felt sorry for her, that she hadn't found mister right.
Sadly for the bloody life of me I couldn't recall her name and it bugged me immensely. Dusty had been talking to me and I wasn't paying attention as I stared at her. Luckily I got my attention back via a strong slap to my forehead from Dusty. "Now that I have your undivided attention Derrick, I just told Kathrine that you're the boss. Hopefully you two won't have any problems working together." She pointed out.
As I stood there rubbing my forehead, Dusty rolled her eyes then left Kathrine alone with me. "You know you shouldn't have been thinking dirty thoughts when someone's talking. Its bad manners boss but, its good to see you after all this time, Derrick." She smiled. I didn't say anything, I told her watch how to checked stock and clean up. After finishing up I stretched, raising my arms up and tilting back as well.
Before I knew it a finger traced its way up my waist and along my muscled chest. Bending back down trying to defend myself from my playful attacker. As I did my muzzle wound up resting between a large pair of soft furred pillows. I wasted no time pulling myself away from Kathrine's very ample bust but she held me there. "Whoa, now what's the rush hun, you could at least return the hug." She cooed teasingly.
If wasn't for her holding me against her chest already, I would've walked away. "Kathrine, please let me up I've got a lot of work to do, we can catch up later." I pleaded. She gave me a firm squeeze before finally letting me pull away. This strange smirk appeared as I stepped back and looked into her orange eyes. "So handsome when's the last time you used that private measuring stick of yours?" She wondered.
My eyes grew wide as the rest of me reacted in a similar manner of shock and awe. "What's the matter hun, jaguar got your tongue?" She teased playfully scratching my chin. Shaking myself silly I backed away from her then got back to work. While she stood there curious as to what came over me a moment ago. Not wasting time I handed her a list and told her to check the amount in stock.
Once she was busy doing that I had to go deal with a small bodily problem. That somehow popped up without any sort of warning the whole time she held me. This evil grin formed on Kathrine's face when she learned that her employer was a virgin. Granted I hoped she knew better than to try anything of a personal or sexual nature. Even though I'm in pretty good shape and reasonably attractive for the most part.
Sadly despite all that I've yet to find a woman that's truly interested in me as a person. That didn't turn into some kind of sick joke or the equally fun pity date situation. I hated those luckily I learned real quick how to spot those before they even asked. So when they did ask I would politely but, rudely tell them no and left. Especially when the most popular woman on campus tried and I denied her.
Boy that pissed her off and I loved every single minute of it, though her boyfriend. Well he was a different story when he learned about it and tried rearranging my face. Though he wound up kissing the floor after a solid punch to the throat. I warned his posse that if they tried they'd be joining him on the ground. With that being said they carried their buddy away and never bothered me again.
That ruined my chances of ever finding the right woman but, I'm very patient. There was one woman I regret not pulling the trigger with was, Pauline 'Page' Wicca. I was a junior when she first began high school we had three classes together then became friends. Though I never built up the courage to ask her out on a date or even to the prom. A mistake I wished I could travel back in time and change that.
More than likely she's got a good life, married to a very wonderful man and has children. Sadly the odds of her being single and searching today are pretty slim. The only other thing that wouldn't want to calculate is us running into each other. In the weeks to follow Kathrine's employment, business hadn't lost much ground. Especially when I took over full time, since my mother had to remain at the hospital.
The doctors were still having a hard time diagnosing her abnormal medical condition. Over the last few days the doctors asked me not to come to visit her. Since they're going to try something that diagnose her condition and possibly keep in control. So I did as they asked of me and stayed home while they performed the procedure. Of course my pacing got Kathrine's attention as she went home for the night.
"Hey, boss everything alright you're pacing around like a nervous wreck?" She asked touching my shoulder. I explained what was going on in my personally as an expression of shock appeared. "Oh, wow hun I can't even find the words to say about such news. I'm amazed you're still in one piece emotionally, do you want me to stay?" She replied. Shaking my head no she gave me a peck on the cheek and went on home.
After while I decided to start locking up for the night when someone tried opening the door. As I unlocked the door and let her in to see what was the matter. She clearly looked to be in a hurry the second the door opened fully, she walked in gasping for air. "Are you okay miss would you like some water?" I asked worriedly. She didn't say anything to me right away, as she focused on catching her breath.
"Thanks, I'm good you're closing aren't you, bugger I had hoped that I was in time." She stated. It was a little odd that the female tasmanian tiger/dingo mix had purposely avoided cursing. "Yeah, I'm closing up but, you can shop for what you need." I stated. She perked up and happily told me why she had come to the store. So I escorted her over to the bra section then walked back towards the register.
"Umm, sir could you come over here for a moment, please?" She asked politely. I got up from my seat, walked over to she was currently standing to see what she wanted. "Yes, ma'am what can I help you with?" I replied in kind. She wondered if I'd be willing to measure her to see if the garments needed alterations. Before I took her to the private stalls, I had to ask her something important.
"Sorry, for asking are you sure you want me to do this?" I asked sounding concerned. As we entered the room she looked at me and instantly knew why. "Yes, since you're the only one here, I trust you can mind yourself while taking my measurements." She stated shyly. Swallowing hard I quickly turned around while she removed her top. Once she was ready I measured her bust line while trying to stay professional.
After what felt like hours when it in reality, it was only a few minutes as I finished measuring her. "Okay, you can get dressed now miss, I've got everything I need." I informed walking away. From there I went over to a nearby manikin and dialed in her measurements. I was a little shocked to learn just how busty she was considering her outfit. As I began checking how the garments fit, a very strange memory hit.
The memory was of a girl I knew back in high school that preferred being hidden. She didn't have much in the way of friends more like people she knew. As she came out of the room and walked by, I instantly recalled who she was. "Hey, Page!" I stated. She reappeared almost instantly but, with a look of utter confusion. Taking a moment to look closer at me, she recalled who I was as well.
"Derrick?! No, it can't be the same Derrick, I recall who was short and a little chubby. Wait a minute it is you isn't it...Wow you've changed so much over the years." She replied. The second I smiled a sudden realization hit her and she hid her face. "Oh, God, Oh God, Oh God I can't believe it I feel so dirty." She mumbled turning away. Sadly I was confused by her sudden reaction but, I tried comforting her.
She looked up into my eyes then placed her hand in mine and said thank you. I resumed checking the clothes for any necessary alterations while she left. Luckily they didn't need it so I bagged them up and meet her at the register. Pauline swiped her debit card then the receipt printed out and I handed everything over. "Please, feel free to come by anytime and we can catch up." I said as she smiled.
"Sure, thanks for letting me get what I needed, Derrick I really do appreciate it." She replied walking towards the door. Once I knew she was gone I started shutting things down again. As I made my way back towards the exit nobody else appeared. So I locked the front door and went upstairs to the apartment. I grabbed the mail along the way up the stairs, from there I tossed them onto the table.
As the days turned into weeks Page visited me often always around lunch time. We spent it catching up on recent events and Kathrine would join us on occasion. Though she would tease me more than usual, since she could tell I liked Page a lot. Granted she was nice enough to keep the information to herself for possible leverage. I really wanted to ask Page out on a date but, I feared she'd reject me.
