Big Tits

Steph leaned down to peer through the window.

“So..you guys gonna be okay?”

They nodded.

“No hanky panky?”

Faye looked at her best friend and burst into laughter. Tristan pretended to tip his hat at her and smiled as he drove off.

Faye leaned back in her seat. The weather seemed nice enough. She wondered if she should point out that interesting fact to Tristan. Slanting her eyes she snuck a peek at him.

“You can look right at me y’know,”

Faye flushed. She studied the dashboard that suddenly seemed really intriguing.

“I wasn’t.”

Tristan looked over at her, a faint smile about his lips.

“So..where are we going?”

“I don’t know.. I don’t have anything on any-” Faye fumbled in her bag. “Shit someone’s calling. Who could it be at this..” Frowning, she looked down at her phone before casting an apologetic look at Tristan. “Sorry, it’s a potential employer I gotta take this.”

Tristan nodded and put a finger to his lips.

“Hello?” Faye pursed her lips. “Yes.. yes. Oh, that’s..that’s wonderful. What..” Tristan reached over and took her hand. She started in surprise. “Um.. yes.. sure. That soon? I mean sure I’ll be there. Yes. Thank you.”

Tristan listened to the sounds of her cellphone being put away. “So…”

“So, I’m sorry but I have to go,” Faye patted Tristan lightly on the back of his hand that was still on hers.

“Sure. Where to?”

“Uptown, you know. I think I landed a job!” Her face was glowing with excitement. Tristan looked at her.

“That’s great news.” His smile was warm and genuine, and Faye couldn’t help feeling a certain something in her chest. She ran her thumb over the skin of his wrist.

When they got there Tristan got out and opened the door for Faye. She met his gaze and smiled nervously.

“I hope everything goes well,” she said. Tristan put a hand to her face and tucked a stray curl behind her ear.

“I’m sure it will.” Leaning in he kissed her gently on her mouth. Faye beamed at him and turned to leave.

“Thanks for the ride!” She called.

“Oh, my pleasure!”

Faye flushed slightly again, then mentally hit herself for flushing so much these days, and entered the building.

—————————————–

The plants were fake, the carpet looked like someone had thrown up over all of it and then ironed a layer of plant fertilizer over it, and the receptionist was so frosty Faye could just about feel her eyes misting up.

But, this was good. It was.

Lifting her knuckles to the heavy wooden door, Faye knocked.

“Come in!”

The door opened to a spacious office. A large expensive couch was sprawled in the corner, a couple of — hey, real — plants stood green in their pots, and.. the sunlight poured in through the wide glass windows. Sitting at the desk was..

“Mr. Lexington.”

“Call me Samuel.” He stood up and shook her hand. It was a good, firm handshake. “Well, I’ve looked at some of your work and I must say I’m impressed.”

“Thank you, very much.”

“No no thank you. You’ll be an excellent addition to our team. Now, all we have to do is to discuss the little details. If you’ll just sit,”

Faye’s eyes misted over for real this time.

It was bahis siteleri happening. For the first time in her life, everything was coming together.

——————————

“And then he offered me that sum, and I was.. well I was be-something!”

“Be-something.” Tristan laughed, helping Faye out of her coat.

“Yes! Be-something, bewildered or something. I still can’t believe it!” Kitty tottered up to her and sniffed at her legs. “Hey Kitty how’s it goin,”

Faye tossed her bag on the couch and fell back on the pillows.

“Do you want something to drink?” Tristan asked. Faye smiled at him. She reached up and pulled him closer by his tie.

“Actually I want something to eat.”

A small smile formed on Tristan’s lips. “You do, huh.” He stroked her face.

“I do.” Faye stretched up and lifted her mouth to his. He tasted so good, so warm and familiar already. Kitty sat down patiently in a corner. “You.” Faye pulled back and traced Tristan’s lip with her finger. He looked at her.

Faye jumped slightly when she felt Tristan’s hand moving down her stomach.

“Hey somebody’s moving fast,” she exclaimed.

Tristan hid a smile in her shoulder as he turned her around so she was sitting on her lap. “I’ve waited all day. Don’t think that counts as fast.”

Faye picked up the remote control and turned the television set on.

“Hey they’re showing reruns of That 70s Show. It’s that episode where Eric.. oh..”

Faye closed her eyes as she felt Tristan slide his hand down the front of her panties.

“Eric is having a..birthd-” his fingers pressed into her flesh. Parting her legs wider Faye pressed her hips back into Tristan’s lap. “That feels..good.” Tristan pulled her shirt down so he could kiss her bare shoulder. His fingers kept stroking between Faye’s legs. She let her mouth drop open as she savoured the sensation.

“Tristan..” Faye turned on his lap so she could look at him. Tristan pulled his hand out of her underwear and kept his eyes locked on hers as he put his finger in his mouth. Druggedly Faye watched him as he licked her juices off his hand.

“Okay bed now.”

Tristan laughed as she jumped on him and he stood up, hoisting her by her bum as she clung to him, and headed for his bedroom.

“Well hello beddy bed.” Faye stretched luxuriously.

“Oh beddy bed. Someone’s getting comfortable here.” Faye froze for a bit, but relaxed when Tristan settled next to her.

“Come on, let me undress you.” Faye got to her knees.

“Gladly.” Tristan lay back on his elbows, watching her contentedly. She ran her hands over his broad chest, smiling to herself. The tie went off first. One button, then two. He had such a delicious chest. Absently, Faye stroked Tristan’s skin. His eyes were dropping lower and lower as she took off his clothes, article by article.

“You’re wearing too many clothes,” Tristan muttered when Faye had stripped him down to his boxers. With an easy heave he turned her on her back.

“Tristan!” Faye laughed. “That tickles.”

He looked up at her from her stomach, smiling devilishly into her skin. He pulled off her shirt, her work pants, her inner shift. When Faye was down to her undies she curled up, suddenly shy.

“I canlı bahis siteleri didn’t know you had it in you to be shy.” Tristan pulled at Faye’s arms, opening her up to him. She shook her head, smiling. Lifting himself over the length of her body, Tristan lay over Faye. She felt his arousal against her. His eyes were heavy.

“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered into her ear, opening his mouth and licking the sides of her neck. Faye shivered beneath him, hooking her legs behind his back and trying to grind against his erection.

“Uh-uh,” Tristan reached back and unhooked her legs. He smiled roguishly at her. “Me first.”

Faye felt delicious desire spiking in her blood, centering between her legs as she watched him. He kissed her neck and whispered in her ear as his hand went roaming on her body.

“I know you want this,” his hand clasped the curve of her breast, encased in her black bra.

“And this,” he trailed his fingers down her body, over her chest and her stomach — where she quivered and arched toward him — and teased with the ribbon on the top of her panties.

“You want me to touch you, don’t you?” Faye nodded wordlessly, lifting her hips toward him but he kept following her movements. “Tell me what you want.”

Faye looked at him, his eyes dark with arousal, a lock of his hair over his eyes. She arched closer to him as she spoke.

“Touch me. Make me feel good,”

Tristan’s eyes flashed and he cupped her through her panties. Faye squirmed under him and he stroked her through the fabric. He could feel her clit swelling between her soft folds and he rubbed it slowly. Faye gasped. She was going mad. He kept rubbing her through her panties..if he didn’t stop — Tristan pulled his hand away and she opened her mouth on a note of protest but his hand returned and this time delved beneath the cotton of her panties.

Faye opened and closed her mouth as she felt his fingers tease her, going up and down the sides of her pussy lips. She could feel herself getting wetter and wetter. Laughing lightly Tristan reached down and took her mouth. She lost herself in his kiss, his warm tongue delicious in her mouth, feeling each stroke between her legs as his fingers swept over her wetness. He poised two fingers at her entrance and she looked at him as he pressed them in gently. She felt herself open up to him and moaned low in her throat as he pushed deeper and stroked her where her ache was deepest.

“Tristan.. Tristan I can’t..” Faye struggled against him as he pleasured her. She felt his hard cock heavy against her and reached down instinctively through the gap in his boxers and took his warm length in her hand. Tristan shuddered and paused for a moment but soon continued stroking her between her legs, moving his hips into Faye’s hand in tandem with his stroking.

The pleasure grew and grew and Faye felt her eyes glazing over. Tristan saw it and slid down swiftly between her legs. Before she could react he pulled her panties down her legs, parted them and began to lick her pussy. Faye gasped quietly. Her thighs had already started to tremble and when she felt Tristan’s head move between her legs, his tongue slipping into her moist folds she clasped her thighs about him güvenilir bahis and mindlessly moved her hips against his pleasuring mouth.

Tristan looked up at Faye’s face. She was lost in the pleasure he was giving her. His cock ached but he pressed it against the bed and kept licking her, moving his head side to side against her pussy, feeding on her sweetness. When he felt her muscles start to tense he spread her pussy lips and pressed his mouth against her, moving his lips over her swollen flesh and licking deeper into her.

Faye gripped fistfuls of the bedsheets and bucked involuntarily against Tristan’s face. She..she was coming..he was licking her so good, it felt so good, he wouldn’t stop eating her as she came over and over, shuddering into his mouth.

When she had stilled Tristan lifted himself over her and smiled faintly.

“Hey you.”

Eyes still closed, Faye smiled back.

“Hey yourself.” Her small hand went down his stomach and grazed the outline of his heavy cock in his boxers. “Looks like somebody needs attending to.”

Tristan almost blushed. He turned on his back following Faye’s guidance. Her mouth looked bruised and her hair was in wisps about her face. She looked thoroughly sexed up.

He wasn’t prepared when Faye slid between his legs, pulled cock out of his boxers and began sucking on him with gusto.

“Ahh.. a—hhhh Faye, Faye keep it..keep it slow or I’ll..” Tristan worked his jaw, trying to regain his grip as he felt Faye’s lips wrap around his length, licking up and down. Her mouth was liquid pleasure. He gritted his teeth and looked down. Not that the visual helped any — seeing Faye between his legs, her eyes drugged and looking right back at him, his cock impaling her mouth, was enough to send him over.

With great effort Tristan reached down and pulled her up. He flipped her on her back, squealing lightly, pulled off his boxers and with one smooth move speared his cock deep into her. Faye gasped, rocking her hips back up towards him, wanting more of him. Tristan made a sound in his throat halfway between a growl and a moan and shoved his hips deeper into her. Her liquid center, so warm and tight around him. He pushed her higher up on the pillows with each thrust, heavy and uncontrolled, thrusting breathlessly into her. All he felt was the pleasure spiking, his flesh entering hers, her sweetness surrounding him, and he wanted more, more, more — his hips flexed forcefully against her center, and she found herself close to the wall with each heave.

Faye moaned loudly with each thrust. Tristan’s eyes were dark and unseeing. She reached up for his face and pulled him down. He kissed her as he drove into her over and over. She moaned, feeling the pleasure mount higher and higher inside. Looking up, seeing his face lost in pleasure and feeling him shove insistently inside her was too much and she felt herself riding out a deep orgasm.

Tristan felt Faye start to come. He pulled his cock almost out of her and slammed it back deeper. She writhed under him and he withdrew and pounded her harder. His own release was near — he could taste it, but he had to draw out her pleasure first — she was coming around him, her pussy clasping and releasing and he was helpless, plunging back into her and flexing his hips quicker, the sweet bloom of orgasm went over him and he came, jerking inside her.

Exhausted, he fell to the bed beside Faye. She reached for his arms and curled them around her.

In the corner of the room Kitty went to sleep.

Lesbian

This is a story about a young man and an older woman and contains a degree of “fetish” content, therefore if a woman with underarm hair and rather unconventional ways offends you, this may not be for you.

An old man reminiscences…

***

I just got back home from hanging out at the VFW Hall with most of the friends I have left above ground, and as usual the bullshit was flowing as fast as the Genesee Cream Ales were being consumed. Every one’s exploits got repeated and exaggerated as usual, as I was barely paying attention when Doug Poole asked whether we had heard that Nurse May had passed away.

That name didn’t mean anything to most of the eight guys sitting around the table, but hearing that blast from the past got my attention. Ed Nelson, my best friend and the only other man at the table that went to our high school, gave me a look across the table along with a subtle wink.

“I didn’t hear that,” I said nonchalantly.

“The obit was in the paper today,” Doug informed me.

“Well, I don’t read that part of the paper,” I announced. “Just in case my name is in there.”

“80 something,” Doug said. “She was living in Florida. Didn’t mention anything about a husband so I guess she died an old maid. With that face though, who would want to be with her let alone fuck her? She was a two-bagger, except to those guys in the bar that night I guess.”

I tuned big mouth Doug out as he rambled on about Nurse May and the faults he perceived her having, although I was sorely tempted to tell him that not only was beauty in the eye of the beholder, but that I knew one person who did indeed enjoy her company in every way possible.

That someone was me, and the reason I bit my tongue and didn’t volunteer the fact that I was that man was not because I was ashamed, but I wasn’t the type of man that kissed and told. Even my best friend Ed across the table didn’t know about Nurse May and yours truly, at least not everything. He only knew part of it.

So hearing that name inspired me to write down what happened between the two of us. There’s no one left to hurt, with my wife having passed a couple of years ago and now Nurse May gone, so what better place to tell the tale but here at ?

***

The year was 1968. LBJ was the president, if only for a couple more months, and there was a war going on in a hell hole called Vietnam that I would learn a lot more about after graduation the next spring.

The boys in our class were lined up in the gym to get our physicals, which was a yearly event we had to endure. It was hardly an extensive exam; you stripped down to your underwear, and after you got weighed and measured the doctor looked in your ears, down your throat and checked your heart.

Then came the low-light of the brief exam. You got to step behind this green portable screen and drop your underwear and cough while the doctor played around with your balls. That was hell, and since this was my senior year this meant that I would never have to endure this humiliation again.

My best bud Ed elbowed me in the ribs, offering to place the same bet we made last year, but I shook my head no, not wanting to throw away another dollar like I had last fall.

At the desk, writing things down and looking quite professional, was Nurse Susette May, the school nurse who wasn’t really a nurse, but more on that later. Anyway, I looked at Nurse May as I waited my turn to walk behind the screen, waiting for a sign.

Nurse May remained seated, and as I walked behind the screen I was cursing myself for not taking Ed up on the wager when all of a sudden not only did I hear the wisecracks I was used to from everyone, came the chuckling from Ed and from the a few of the guys who were aware of what was happening. She was on the move.

“Hello Leo,” the doctor said as he sat in a little stool and fiddled with his glove.

“Doctor,” I replied, not even knowing his name but since he had done this every other year of my high school career I guess he knew me well, and unlike the first exam he had given me he had little reaction when my boxers came down.

“Cough please,” the doctor said after I lowered my boxers, and as I did I saw the shadowy figure of Nurse May on the other side of the screen, and right on time she appeared as soon as the doctor grabbed my stuff.

“Again please,” he asked, and I repeated my cough while looking at Nurse May, whose eyes were fixed on the doctor’s work.

I was okay, according to the good doctor, and then my boxers came back up. By the time I came back around the curtain to rejoin the class, Nurse May was back at the chair, writing away like she hadn’t moved while the commentary from my classmates burned my ears.

A sidebar here… I get a kick out of these stories here that feature guys who are, let’s say exceptionally well endowed, and how the girls fall over themselves to be with them.

I’m one of those guys, so well hung that my folks sent me to a doctor for a real exam when my mom happened to get a glimpse Anadolu Yakası Anal Escort at me one day. That was an experience. A doctor looking at me for a minute and giving my mother his diagnosis, which in layman’s terms was that your son has a really big cock.

“He’s fine,” he told her, and winked at me and told me to enjoy it.

Maybe in in the world of stories, but during my entire life up to that day in the gym – all 18 years 7 months and 12 days of it (having been sick when I was little and having to miss a whole year of school made me a little older than my mates) – my entire sex life had been hand-jobs.

Mostly my own hand, with one exception being Audrey, the village slut, who jerked me off along with some other guys in the woods during a beer party being held for my 18th birthday. Even she wasn’t interested in anything more from me, which tells you something, although she did laugh at my dick and said I should be in Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

Apparently when you’re skinny, have ears that stick straight out, you’ve got a complexion that makes you look like a human pizza, and you tend to stutter when you get nervous near a female, girls don’t really care how big your dick is, or at least they didn’t back in 1968. Trust me. I know.

“The beast help the doctor lift it, Tripod?” came the question from one of the guys who had become aware of the nurse coming around the curtain to check me out every year, and my ears burned as another guy claimed, “Even Taylor’s not desperate enough to let her grab his snake.”

Little did he or any of them know that while most of them thought Nurse May to be a dog as best, I wasn’t one of them. As a matter-of-fact I thought she was attractive in her own way, and it wasn’t just because I was desperate either. She had something.

***

After that exam, the rest of the school year was a blur, and by the next spring I was faced with the prospect of trying to get into college – and with my grades that meant Community College at best – or wait to get drafted. Neither choice was all that appealing.

I was at my part-time job at the local grocery, stamping 4/$1 on cans of tomato sauce and waiting for my shift to be over in 15 minutes. As I broke down the box and reset my price stamper for another item, I saw Nurse May at the end of the aisle standing behind a cart looking at me.

When she saw me look up she ducked around the corner to the next aisle, while I tried to figure out whether she was looking at me or trying to avoid me. I got the answer to that question when she appeared at the other end of my aisle, and this time when I looked at her she was stuck and kept walking toward me.

“Hi, Nurse May,” I said as she walked past me.

“Oh. Uh – Leo, isn’t it?” she said, and I nodded while inside I was chuckling.

You don’t know me? Should I drop my pants so you recognize me? I was dying to say it but didn’t. She knew damn well who I was. Hell, my freshman year I had to go to her office to get my medication everyday. She couldn’t dispense it, but she had a refrigerator so that was where I kept it.

I watched her go down the aisle, wearing her usual outfit which was a loose fitting white uniform and a sweater, blue today, that she almost always wore over the uniform, along with white socks and white nurse shoes.

It had to be real hot but she still wore a sweater, and it was only because I had a lot of contact with her years ago that I knew what was under the sleeves of that sweater at all. It was probably the reason she wore the sweater to begin with.

You see, Nurse May had hairy arms. Dark brown hair, and quite a bit of it, coated her arms from her wrist up to where the short sleeves of the uniform blocked the rest of the view. Her arms were even hairier than Mrs. Ogden’s, the old woman who worked at the school cafeteria, and guys used to say that instead of the hair net on her head, they should make her wear them on her arms.

That didn’t bother me, because I had a thing about hairy women. I credited it to the magazine I found ups in our attic, an old tattered rag filled with women of all ages that must have belonged to my old man. They weren’t all hairy, but most of them were, and it got to where it turned me on. I didn’t think it was all that weird. Hell, there was a picture of Sophia Loren in there with hair under her arms, and she won an Academy Award.

So that was my fascination with Nurse May, even though I never seen any more than from her elbows down. I had my mental image of her, and that would have to do. I doubted whether many other guys fantasized about her, because she was short and plump, with a cherubic face that looked like the girl on the Campbell’s Soup labels.

My shift was done now, and as I gathered up the empty boxes to take them into the back room where I would punch the time clock and take off, I noticed Nurse May watching me from over by the produce section. She was picking up oranges and pretending top look at them while looking at Anadolu Yakası Yaşlı Escort me. Me! Nobody ever looked at me, especially not girls.

So what if she wasn’t pretty? I was no Paul Newman, and in fact was closer to Alfred E. Newman from Mad Magazine. I had big teeth and ears that stuck way out. My complexion was a mess, and with 141 pounds on a six foot frame, my physique wouldn’t even make a good “before” photo in a Charles Atlas ad.

All I had was a big dick, and to be honest it had only caused me embarrassment up until then. I was teased relentlessly in the locker room even though I tried to hide myself as best I could. I wanted to be Leo, just a regular guy, not Tripod Taylor.

So I took my time and let Nurse May look at me. Being fully clothed now, I still didn’t get the fascination of me to her but I was not complaining. I even did a little posing as I broke down the boxes, trying to make my biceps bulge as much as they could. It must have looked ludicrous, but she didn’t laugh.

Finally, I ran out of ways to dawdle so I went back and punched the clock and grabbed my jacket. When I went through the store to leave, Nurse May was in one of the checkout lines, and when I passed the front window there she was, craning her neck to watch me walk by.

Heady stuff for me. So this is what pretty girls have to put up with all the time? I could live with it. So it wasn’t Nancy Setzer or Vicki Praga or any of the other real cute girls at school, and instead was an plump school nurse?

It was then that I decided to wait for Nurse May. Positioning myself at the end of the block, I casually leaned against the mailbox and waited. What I would do when she walked by was another question. The two most likely scenarios were than I would either stammer, stutter, spasm and twitch like I had some kind of affliction, or would stand there like a lump and pretend I didn’t see her.

The smart money would have bet on me playing the statue, but as it turned out, I never got the chance because when she left the store she went the other way toward the really poor part of town. East was the poor section of town and west was the really poor area, and since Nurse May had a good job I had figured her to be a little more affluent.

With a different decision to make, for once I actually chose the more aggressive path, and while I was sure it was a path to another humiliation, at least this time I was trying.

So I ran to catch her, and because she wasn’t all that fast a walker it didn’t take long. I stopped running before I caught up with her so I wouldn’t be wheezing and gasping when I got to her, but I managed to work up a sweat with my sprint, making me all the more attractive I’m sure.

Nurse May wasn’t that fat, I thought as I walked behind her, doing mental measuring as I looked. 5’4″ was my guess, and under 200 pounds, and if 36-24-36 were the supposed ideal measurements, I guesstimated Nurse May at being 44-34-48, and maybe that was being flattering, although her calves weren’t all that big hidden under those socks.

Nurse May stopped at the crosswalk and waited for a car that was a long way away, forcing my hand earlier than I planned, so I cleared my throat and tried to put on my least goofy smile.

“Hi again Nurse May,” I said, wincing when my voice jumped an octave in mid-sentence.

“Oh – hello Leo – right?” she said after I startled her, looking at me with suspicious through her glasses.

“Yes,” was my snappy reply.

“You’re the boy that kept his meds in my office a few years ago, aren’t you?”

“Yes ma’am,” I responded as she switched the paper sack of groceries to her other side. “Um – can I carry that for you?”

“No, I’m fine. Thank you,” she said. “Is there something you want?”

“Well no – I mean – I saw you staring at me back at the store, and I thought maybe we could talk.”

“I was – just looking to see if you were the same boy I remembered,” Nurse May said. “You seem to have recovered well enough.”

“That was me, and thanks. Yes. I’m fine. Are you sure that I can’t carry that for you? Maybe we could stop and sit on the bench or something? I could get you a soda from the machine at the Esso station if you want.”

“Why are you bothering me?” she said, stopping dead in her tracks and glaring at me.

“Bothering – I’m not bothering you,” I said. “I just wanted to talk to you. I saw you staring at me.”

“I already explained that to you. If you got the wrong idea about that I’m sorry,” she declared.

“Not just now,” I snapped, realizing that I had blown it again but wasn’t going to just drop it there. “I mean last fall at school. in the gym.”

“What are you talking about?” Nurse May said with a little less defiance than a few seconds ago.

“You know what I mean,” I said. “When it was my turn to go behind the screen you came around to look at me when I dropped my underwear.”

“You’re crazy,” she said, but now she was on the defensive. “I – I have to communicate Anadolu Yakası Zenci Escort with Dr. Shields. Bring him documents while he’s doing exams.”

“The guys – a lot of them – they know,” I said. “Didn’t you hear them snickering? They were the ones that tipped me off about you coming around the screen every year to look at me.”

“No one will believe you,” Nurse May said, and I started to feel less angry and more sad, because now she was looking like I did when I got caught doing stuff, as if she was looking for a place to hide. “I have a good reputation at school. I’ve been there 14 years, so if you’re trying to get me in trouble with these wild stories, it won’t work.”

“Trouble?” I asked as I turned to walk away. “I’m not trying to get you in trouble. I just thought – well – maybe if you’re going to look at guys you should be less obvious about it in the future. Nobody is going to say anything, but I mean, if those knuckleheads can figure it out…”

“Wait,” I heard Nurse May say, and when I turned she was nodding toward the bench.

“I didn’t mean to snap at you,” Nurse May said after I sat on the bench, with her grocery bag between us. “I didn’t understand what you were getting at.”

“It’s okay,” I told her.

“I didn’t realize I was being – what was that you said? Obvious?” Nurse May said. “I apologize for that. I didn’t mean to make you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.”

“Those guys?” I said, dismissing my classmates teasing me. “Most of them aren’t my friends anyway, and you looking at me didn’t bother me. Actually, I kinda liked it. Nobody seems to pay much attention to me usually, especially girls.”

“Why is that?” Nurse May said. “You’re a handsome enough young man.”

I snickered at that and Nurse May shrugged her shoulders.

“Well, I think you’re kind of cute, in your own way,” Nurse May said.

“So are you,” I said, realizing how it sounds when you say something like that. “Really.”

“Uh – you said something about a soda?” Nurse May said, and I jumped to my feet and prepared to fish some change out of my jeans for the machine, but she stopped me when she added, “I have soda at home – if you would want to – you know.”

“Uh… sure,” I said. “Let me take the bag.”

“Oh. Thank you,” Nurse May said, adding, “you don’t have to walk with me. You can follow behind me if you want to.”

“Why would I want to do that?” I asked, and she seemed surprised to hear me say that.

***

Nurse May’s house was a little bungalow that was even shabbier than our house, but while it wasn’t any great shakes at least it was clean, and after she let me in and put her groceries away, she poured a couple of sodas into Flintstones glasses that you bought filled with grape jelly.

What did I learn about Nurse May as we chatted at the kitchen table? She was 40 years old had never been married and had no kids. The most interesting thing was that she wasn’t really a nurse.

“How did you get away with that?” I said, chuckling at the thought of her pulling one over on the authorities.

Turned out the school knew all about it. She was qualified to be a nurse’s assistant, but it wasn’t a rule that there had to be a real nurse there, so they got off cheap by paying her next to nothing and passing her off as the real thing.

“They don’t actually call me a nurse and I’m not supposed to refer to myself as one, but unless somebody asks I’m supposed to keep my mouth shut and smile,” Nurse May said, being a trailblazer with the “don’t ask don’t tell” concept.

“It’s not like it matters,” she added. “The way the rules are, even if I was a nurse I still couldn’t even hand out an aspirin to anybody. If you remember I never even touched your med bottles.”

“I do remember having to get it myself,” I recalled, but I thought maybe that was because she was lazy or something.

“You don’t have to call me Nurse May,” she said. “My first name is Susette, with an s instead of a z.”

“That’s a pretty name,” I said, and as I finished my soda Susette got up fast to fetch the bottle out of the refrigerator, almost like she was afraid I would leave.

My eyes went to the refrigerator door as it opened, and among the clippings from newspapers and recipes on the door, a picture caught my eye, and a chill went though my entire body. I was shook up, but did my best to recover by the time she came back to the table.

Not much of a picture, and I’m positive that there wasn’t another one of them on any other refrigerator in the world. It was a picture of me. My senior picture, cut out of the yearbook.

“You can stay, can’t you?” Susette asked. “Are you hungry?”

“I ate stuff at work,” I said, and even if I was hungry I was so nervous that I could never have kept anything down. “Thanks anyway.”

“If you do want anything, let me know. It’s nice to have company.”

“Nurse, I mean Susette,” I squeaked. “Could you take off your sweater?”
