Sheila the Babysitter 01 by Dark Horse It's hard enough being a beautiful, sixteen-year-old girl, without living in an orphanage, dealing with the pressures of high school, and running your own babysitting service. Add to it one very healthy libido, which often has me wondering if I'm a borderline nymphomaniac, and it's not hard imagining how trying my life can be at times. All I can say is thank god for nature's stress-relief; sex. With a very rare Friday afternoon free, I was spending it in bed with my orphanage roommate and eight-year-old best friend, Melody. Though the petite girl with an auburn pageboy was half my age, she had a real talent for eating cunt. It's a surprise, as what she wishes for more than anything else in the world, aside from being adopted of course, is a boyfriend. Getting home from school, Melody went to town on my pussy, which I keep shaved bare but for a small, naturally-blonde triangle above it. As usual, she brought me numerous orgasms, the last one which sprayed the pretty redhead's face with a geyser of girl-cum. After helping lick my own sweet juices off her nose and cheeks, I returned the favour going down on her bald, prepubescent cunt. A screamer, she used her teddy bear to muffle her lustful cries, as my tongue and mouth gave her a steady chain of spasming climaxes. For most girls that would've been enough, but I know my best friend. Like myself, she needs that last, final big one to truly bring her satisfaction. Melody whimpered when I lifted my mouth from her swollen cunt. Shifting so our naked bodies lay on our sides facing each other, I held her by her lovely bottom curled against my much taller, athletically-slender teenage body. The little redhead began suckling like a baby on a hard, puffy pink nipple, which swelled from my petite, smallish tits. Grabbing my purple vibrator, still slimy from when she'd fucked me with it earlier, I reached behind her. Keeping it turned off, I used it like a normal dildo pushing under her cute derriere. As it eased up between her drenched inner thighs, she moaned around the thick cone of my nipple. Angling the six inch, artificial boner so it would rub along the cleft of her soaked pussy, soon my preteen roommate was quivering in rapture, and I still hadn't turned on the vibrator. Then on the nightstand, my cell phone's Bluetooth headset began beeping softly. So typical. Being use to calls interrupting us, neither of us so much as flinched. Still stroking the fake phallus along the dripping lips of Melody's cunt, I reached over to clip the small headset on an ear, brushing aside my long blonde hair. From long practice, I willed my voice to sound casual. "Accept call," I voice-activated the Bluetooth. "Sheila Donnelly's Babysitting Service." "Hello. This is Carol Langdon, Billy's mom you'll be sitting for at six o'clock. Am I calling at an inconvenient time?" Despite that Carol was a new customer, her rich voice was as easy to recognize as her elegant figure and sultry, raven-haired looks were. The thirty-four-year-old divorcee also had the brains to match her beauty, having already become a junior partner in one of Toronto's most prestigious law firms. "No, it's alright, Mrs. Langdon. I'm helping out a friend at the moment, but I'm okay to talk," I explained, still working the sex toy on the little girl's hairless pussy. Being far from the first time a call had come during sex, it was why I'd gotten this particular Bluetooth model. Although expensive, its superior noise dampeners and jawbone microphone were indispensable. "Is there a problem?" "No, no problem." Carol's subtle hesitation told me something troubled her. "I was wondering, though, if you'd be available to arrive early, perhaps around five-thirty? There's a . . . matter with Billy I'd like to discuss with you before he arrives." Glancing at my alarm clock, I continued teasing Melody's weeping pussy. Thankful being able to multi-task, I did some fast calculations. If I factored in time to finish off Melody, get showered and dressed, and add forty-five minutes for downtown rush hour traffic to get to the elitist Rosedale neighborhood . . . . "Sure," I replied a moment later. "Five-thirty's doable." "That's great," she sighed with relief. "When you get here, let yourself in, as I'll likely be still getting prepared for the firm's formal gala. Of all the nights they chose for the stupid thing, of course it would be at the start of my custody weekend." "Don't worry, Mrs. Langdon. When you're the boss of the firm, you can banish these galas if you want." "What, and deprive my soon-to-be underlings of the same cruel fate? No way! Rank hath its privileges, and one of them is sweet, sweet revenge," she laughed a little maliciously, before finishing with a satisfied sigh. "Oh dear god, how I needed that. Thank you, Sheila. So, I'll see you five-thirtyish I hope?" "Count on it." Ending the call, I turned my complete attention back to Melody. By her trembling body, and the muffled whimpers against the swells of my puffy-nippled tits, she was hovering at the edge of her big one. Moving my hand cradling her soft rump down further, I eased a delicate finger into her tight pussy from behind, mindful of her still-intact hymen. Finger-fucking her while stroking the plastic cock on her wet cunt lips, the eight-year-old pitifully mewled in bliss. Her naked body shook now from the intensity of her brimming orgasm, which I knew how I'd release to its full potential. Besides my babysitter's intuition and observational skills, part of how learning my roommate and best friend so intimately, was because she often talks in her sleep. Even the deepest of secrets can escape, when their guard is asleep. I lowered my lips to an ear partly hidden by her auburn pageboy. "I think Mommy's little girl needs to cum, doesn't she?" I whispered naughtily, wrapping a long leg behind her curled knees in preparation. "Does my angel's little cunny want her Mommy's special touch?" Whimpering even more desperately, Melody nodded against my small, thick-nippled boobs. "Tell Mommy what you want, sweetie." "Make me cum, Mommy," she pleaded, turning lust-blinded pale blue eyes up to my own deep blue ones. "Rub my cunny again! Please, Mommy!" "Anything for you, my most precious daughter," I tenderly whispered. "Mommy loves you, baby, always and forever." Kissing her deeply on the lips, I pressed the vibrator's rigid shaft tight against her parted cunt and tiny clit, before my pinky finger at last activated the purple-pussy-pleaser. Melody's scream was snared by my lips. As hot wetness gushed from her prepubescent baby-hole, further soaking the clenching thighs trapping my hand and buzzing vibrator, her body violently writhed with the explosive force of raw, unleashed ecstasy. If not for desperately holding onto her, her uncontrollable thrashing would've thrown her off the bed. Despite being twice her age, it still took a bit to prevent the petite, orgasming eight-year-old from unintentionally breaking free. Only after a small eternity did my little tigress finally go limp, passing out from sensory-overload. Looking down at Melody's blissfully-content face, affectionately brushing damp auburn hair from her cheek, my heart swelled. I don't love her so much as my lover, as I love her as the baby sister I never had. Carefully untangling myself from the now-sleeping girl, I climbing out of bed and placed her worn teddy bear in her arms. As she unconsciously clutched her dearest possession to her naked chest, I kissed her forehead softly and tucked the sheets up around her shoulders. Grabbing an outfit from the closet, I hit the shower. Being a Friday afternoon, the other girls living at the orphanage were out doing whatever. It meant I didn't have to worry about some stupid bitch flushing a toilet, and turning me into a screaming lobster. Finally I've got a chance to luxuriate under the hot water, especially after Melody's earlier ministrations had, at least temporarily, sated my needy libido. However, my mind kept gnawing over Carol Langdon's request to come early. It's a given she wanted to give me advanced warning about Billy. However, whatever her eight-year-old son's behavioural troubles are, I'm sure I've already encountered them with similar kids. I wouldn't be babysitting him if he didn't have some attitude problem or another. As I only sit for kids other sitters can't handle, or won't touch for any fee, it's makes me the most unique and sought-after babysitter in Toronto. Because of that, I could totally hose my clients, but I don't. My fee's half-again the going rate, period. Even so, spending most of my free time babysitting over the past four years, I've accumulated a considerable sum, while adding more every day. I could easily leave the orphanage being sixteen now, and rent my own apartment. However, I wouldn't be able to bring Melody with me, so I stay here with her. Besides, it allows me to further build up my savings, for both when I move out, and for college tuition. The thing is, I didn't become a babysitter for profit. Babysitting's been my passion, since I can first remember practicing with dolls. It's the twerps who I find most rewarding to look after, and ironically, trying to help with their troubles. Surprising, most of the kids I've babysat have actually improved enough, that other sitters have taken them back now. I never have, nor will I ever, claim I can cure kids of their problems. It doesn't work like that. I try to help them if I can, but they've got to be willing to accept that, and help themselves at the same time. Most take a while to get that. No matter how I try stressing that point to clients, somehow I've still ended up with a reputation for being a brat-whisperer, whatever the heck that means. Finishing washing my long blonde hair, I dried and got dressed. Being a comfortable night for early June, my pick of outfits went naturally for less than more. The red midriff tank top, cut-off denim shorts, and runners nicely showed off my willowy, athletic physique. I despise socks, and bras are my bane. My petite, firm boobs don't need the support, and I hate how bras rub my puffy nipples raw, especially as they're always getting hard. I decided to wear my favourite thong, a spotted leopard silk one. Returning to the bedroom, I gently woke Melody. I hate doing it, but a longer nap could throw her off getting to sleep later. She already has enough trouble getting to sleep as it is. Giving my sleepy-eyed best friend a fond hug and kiss, I aimed her in the direction of the bathroom, and sent the naked girl on her way with an affectionate pat to her adorable bum. On my way out, I grabbed my babysitting kit. It's simply a knapsack with some clothes and personal items, homework, my behaviour sciences correspondence class work, and my favourite book of Edgar Allen Poe's collected tales. Donning a pink motorcycle helmet and hopping on my scooter, I merged with the congested, downtown Toronto rush hour traffic. I bought the scooter turning sixteen back in February. It's not only inexpensive and practical, but extremely reliable. As well, it's also the most noticeable scooter in the city, too. The boy who owned it before had painted a menacing shark's mouth and eyes on the bike's long snout. Keeping it, I added my touch with a bright, Barbie neon pink paint job. As a scooter is so tiny among the legions of cars, trucks, and delivery vans on the streets, you want to be as visible as possible. My scooter does that to say the least, as well as never fails to get double-takes, and the occasional tourist snapping a picture or ten. For Friday afternoon rush hour, the traffic flowed unnaturally smooth and quick. I not only flipped off just two assholes, definitely an all-time record, but made it to the snobbish Rosedale neighborhood in less than fifteen minutes, not the forty-five I'd given myself. I'd been to Carol's mansion once, three days ago when she interviewed me for sitting, while I'd interviewed her about Billy, to see if he fit my bad kid requirement. It took nearly a half a minute to drive up the long driveway, winding through the small forest that surrounded and isolated the place from the neighboring near-mansions. Though seeing it once before, as the old mansion came into view, I was no less impressed. The brick and stone mansion was huge. I know, as Carol had given me a full tour. It had an outdoor pool, as well as an indoor sauna and a massive jacuzzi. Its modern kitchen was larger than a classroom. The living room alone, with its big silk pillow-lined sunken pit, and giant flatscreen television and entertainment system, would have shamed the Playboy mansion in my opinion. The place had nearly every feature and luxury imaginable. Well, at least to a girl born in a small, northern Ontario town like myself. And to think, Carol had taken the mansion from her ex-husband in the divorce settlement. Way to go, girl! I was relieved seeing a brand new, black Porsche roadster parked before the mansion, meaning Mrs. Langdon was home. Going to the front doors after locking up the scooter, I used the security code and key she'd given me. Once inside, I rearmed the alarm system. Calling out Carol's name as I took off my runners and knapsack in the foyer, there was no reply. I hoped being a full half hour early wasn't going to end up a problem. Repeatedly I called out as I padded barefoot deeper into the mansion, beginning to feel less like an invited employee, and more and more like an intruder. Soon I'd worked my way back to the bedroom wing, where my knocks on the closed doors lining the hallway went unanswered. Coming to the final door at the very end of the hallway, likely belonging to the mansion's master suite, I noted it was partly open. Again getting no reply to my calls, I gently knocked. The hinges were well oiled, as my light rapping caused the door to swing open fully. Revealing a naked Mrs. Langdon dancing to the beat from an iPod. I'm not sure what stunned me more. Seeing my latest employer bare-assed, and shaking it like a teenager half her thirty-four years. Or that Carol's naked body was even hotter than the fantasy of her I masturbated to after our interview. It was kind of like watching a high-end stripper dancing at a rave. Maybe I thought that because of the firm, proud tits, or her graceful hourglass-figure, or how her long raven hair swayed across her seductively-elegant feature. Like it was surreal enough, watching a stunning lady kick it naked in her luxurious bedroom, without being aware she was also an ace lawyer. Then Carol noticed me standing in the doorway. She gasped with a hand flying to her chesty breastbone. "Oh god, Sheila! You scared the Charles Dickens out of me," she exclaimed, before tittering a bit girlishly and tugging out the iPod's earplugs. "If I was a cat, I'd be a furry puffball stuck upside down to the ceiling." "S-sorry, Mrs. Langdon," I stammered, dropping my eyes to the bedroom's plush carpeting. It's rare I feel defensive, but right now I felt like a four-year-old who'd walked in on her mother naked. I couldn't get the image of Carol's shapely ass and tight, hairless pussy out of my mind. "I didn't mean to stare, I mean scare you. I kept calling out for you, but I shouldn't have left the foyer without permission. Please forgive me." "Nonsense, dear. When you're here, consider my home as much your home, too. And please, call me Carol when we're alone. I get enough formalities with work as it is. Oh my!" My eyes shot up to see Carol looking down at her naked body a little sheepishly. "I completely forgot about still being in my birthday suit, silly me. Let me grab a robe." "You don't have to," I blurted before catching myself. "I mean, this is your house and, ah, it doesn't bother me at all." The hardening, puffy nipples poking at my red midriff tank top said otherwise. "Really? I'm glad," Carol put away the iPod. "I wasn't one for going around in the buff, until a girlfriend recently suggested it. I never imagined how liberating being naked can be. However, I should be getting ready, seeing it's a quarter after five. It's a good thing you came extra early, or I would've stayed lost to the tunes." "No problem. Should I wait in the living room or something?" "Actually," she smiled, stepping into a tiny black thong, "if you wouldn't mind, could I ask your help? It's been a while since I last squeezed into a cocktail dress. At the same time, I can fill you in on Billy's . . . well, troubles. I hope not fully disclosing them earlier won't pose a problem for you." "Nah. Usually clients are too nervous to tell me before hand, fearing I might decline if I knew the details. Most don't even know the extent of their children's troubles. Over the years, though, there's few behaviours I haven't had to deal with." Visibly relieved, Carol disappeared into a walk-in closet, to emerge holding the skimpiest of black dresses. Finally I stepped into the huge bedroom with its four-poster canopy bed. Helping Carol struggle into the clinging dress, in the process getting to unintentionally feel her full breasts and toned butt, she explained her son's problems. Most I already knew from our interview, so it was more learning some of the extremes of the boy's behaviour. Basically it sounded like eight-year-old Billy had been a good kid. Though the nasty divorce three years ago was hard on him, he'd been a real trooper through it all. Then a few months ago, he began changing almost overnight. Gone was cheerful son she'd known, replaced by a moody boy, who'd erupt in angry outbursts for no apparent reason. Recently his rages were increasing in both frequency and intensity. It had become enough that even her ex-husband, who thought it simply a boy thing, was now becoming concerned, and babysitters refused the moment they heard his name. Trying to get him to open up about it had been met with hostile silence. Every attempt to seek professional help for their son, had only further deepened the boy's anger and moodiness. With no options left, they had no choice but to hope it was merely a phase, and pray it would soon pass. Of course I couldn't be certain until meeting Billy face-to-face, but I had an idea what might be behind his abrupt change. If it's what I think it is, then I've dealt with it a few times before. I didn't mention this to his mother, though, as right now it's just a hunch, albeit quite a strong one. Carol finally managed, with my assistance, to get the little black dress perfect. If not for its skinny spaghetti straps, I'd fear her full breasts would've popped free of the straining, satiny fabric. With the wealth of creamy cleavage she was displaying, along with how the dress accented her slinky figure and long legs, a thought came to mind that caused me to hiccup a small laugh. Sitting at the vanity finishing her make-up, she raised an inquiring slender eyebrow at me. "Sorry," I couldn't keep from grinning girlishly. "I had an image of you walking into the gala, with a red hourglass on your abdomen." She chuckled at the thought. "Walk in a junior partner, and walk out a senior partner. Like us lawyers don't weave tangled enough webs. You shouldn't be giving me ideas, Sheila, especially such good ones." Turning back to the mirror, Carol sighed flicking a lock of raven hair. "It's a shame my hairdresser couldn't fit me in today. It would've been nice doing something with my hair." Hoping I wasn't risking a mistake, I replied, "Um, I might be able to help with that." "Oh?" "After four years of babysitting, you get a lot of practice styling girls' hair for them. I'm far from a professional, of course, but I'm told I'm pretty good." "Please, by all means," she beamed. "The thought of arriving with the same 'do, just gives me the shudders." Explaining the style I was thinking, she eagerly agreed. Standing over her as I worked, it was hard not stealing glances at her nearly-exposed tits. It was harder still struggling to hold at bay my libido, which strained like a starving wolf on a leash, with a succulent, juicy steak being waved right under her nose. Pulling the right side of her falling hair back toward her left shoulder, it bared the right half of her beautiful face and elegant neck. Sweeping it across her left eye and shoulder to come around her breastbone like a talon, the sharp tapering curl drew the eye to the jade pendant necklace above that matched her eyes, and highlighted the ample cleavage beneath. With careful application of styling mousse and hairspray, it remained flexible where needed, and held secure everywhere else. "I love it," Carol gushed, gazing at her new 'do in the vanity. Turning, she gripped me by the shoulders, and kissed me on the lips! I could've put doing that down to simple enthusiasm, but for one little thing. She held the kiss just a bit longer than would be expected. Along with "forgetting" about being naked in front of me earlier, naturally I couldn't help wondered if she might be subtly testing the waters. No, I can't let myself entertain that notion. Unfortunately, thoughts like that could get me into very hot water if I'm mistaken. God, sometimes I hate being so rational! Releasing me, Carol slipped on her high heels and went to pose before the bedroom's antique standing tri-mirror, studying her trio of separate reflections. Meanwhile, I half-sat and half-fell in the vanity's vacated chair, surprised my shaky knees allowed that much grace. A familiar heat flushed through my loins, and my puffy nipples throbbed so hard, it felt as if they were going to fly off like tiny rockets. My mind warring between desire and self-control, I couldn't begin fathoming how her ex-husband had even thought of cheating on her. I have no trouble grasping boys, whether they're prepubescent, adolescent, or teenagers. Grown men on the other hand, at least when it comes to their reasoning abilities, are a whole other matter. Then again, I've met more than a few women who are no better, and in some case far worse. Yeah, it's puzzling how as a species we've managed to survive this long. With a few minutes until it was six on the dot, Carol grabbed her string purse as we departed the bedroom, asking if I had any questions before she left. I had a ton of them, but nothing related to babysitting. Arriving at the living room, we were greeted by the giant flatscreen television blaring a cartoon show. I love cartoons myself, and I'll proudly admit I'm a total anime freak, but not when they're loud enough to wake my parents in their graves. Obviously Mr. Langdon had already dropped off Billy for the weekend. "Billy," Carol ordered, her voice cutting through the noise like a knife. "Turn it down!" Staring in annoyance at his mother, the eight-year-old boy on the huge couch dialed the volume down to a normal level. Then he went back to slumping with arms crossed defiantly on his chest, bare feet propped up on the large coffee table. His neat black hair and green eyes were from his mother, but his cute face had to be closer to I'm guessing his father. In dark track pants and a blue t-shirt, it wasn't hard to tell he played sports. By his leanness, and being the current rage, my bet was on soccer. "Thank you," Carol said to her son. "Billy, this is Sheila, your new babysitter. She's in charge, and I'm expecting you to be a responsible young man tonight, alright?" Only Billy's eyes moved to look at me. Or rather, glare daggers at me. The resentment in his hostile stare said a lot, and reinforced my earlier hunch. "Be good, Billy, and I'll see you in the morning." She gave her son a good-bye kiss. He didn't seem to react at all, though I knew the act was because I was standing there. Once Carol had left, I wordlessly joined Billy on the sofa to watch The Fairly OddParents cartoon. Throughout it, I kept catching Billy's fleeting glances, no doubt curious why I wasn't acting like his previous sitters. If he thought he had babysitters figured out, then tonight was going to be more fun than I thought. When the show finished, I rose and stretched fully. I could practically feel his gawking eyes on my lithe figure, being skimpily clad in just the red midriff tank top and denim cut-offs. I asked what he'd like for supper. "It's not going to work," Billy stated bluntly, staring at the television. "Excuse me?" He turned his face to glare at me directly. "I know what you're up to. You're going to pretend like you're my friend, and try to get me to be good. You think 'cause you're a girl, you can manip--- Manipulus---" "Manipulate?" "Yeah, manipulate us boys into doing whatever you want. It ain't going to work on me, so up yours." I shrugged nonchalantly. "No problem. So, do you prefer strained carrots or peas for supper?" "What?" Heading for the kitchen, I tapped a finger on my chin. "I guess your mom hides your diapers in your room." "What? I am not a baby!" Stopping halfway across the living room, I looked back over a shoulder at him standing on the couch facing me, and raised a blonde eyebrow. "So far you haven't proved that to me in the least." Seeing frustration and embarrassment reddening his face, I knew how he'd react even before he did. It was a fact I was counting on. Billy sputtered for a moment, then smirked maliciously. "Okay, I'll prove I'm not a baby. See!" He hooked his thumbs in the front of his track pants and underwear, and pulled down enough to expose his semi-limp, hairless foreskinned cock and balls. They were about average for an eight-year-old, as I've seen both larger and smaller boy penises over the years. "Big deal," I turned fully around, then yanked up my midriff tank top, baring my shallow tits and puffy pink nipples. The boy was so shocked, he forgot he was still exposing his cock, which instantly jerked up to a straining, three inch boner. His erect little boyhood had a pretty good girth to it. It's now-exposed head could be a bit thicker, though. Overall, it wasn't too shabby at all. I'd give it an eight-point-five. Waiting until his eyes nearly popped from their sockets, I tugged the tank top back down. "So," I asked, resuming my trek for the kitchen, "if we've got them, cheeseburgers and fries sound good to you?" I didn't expect a response, at least not until his seized-up, prepubescent brain unstuck itself. The tits get them every time. Rummaging through the mansion's massive kitchen, I found the fixings for homemade burgers and store-bought fries. With a silent thanks to my father for teaching me how to cook, among the many things he taught me, I started preparing our supper. I had the raw patties made by the time Billy finally slinked into the kitchen, looking like a puppy with his tail between his legs. He took one of the tall stools on the other side of the island counter, sitting across from where I stood. For a while the only sounds heard were the sizzling burgers in the frying pans, and my knife chopping toppings. At last I decided he'd suffered long enough. "Still wondering why I flashed my tits at you?" I didn't need to look up from slicing a tomato, to know he was blushing from the fresh memory. Then he actually threw my expectations a slight curve ball. "Um, Sheila? I'm . . . I'm sorry I . . . you know." "That you told me to up mine?" "That too, yeah. And . . . ." "If I can say tits, then you can say the other word. It's alright. It starts with a cee, and ends with a kay. It has four letters. All males have it. Ringing any bells?" "I'm sorry for flashing my . . . cock at you." "Apology accepted. And thank you for having the courage to apologize. In the future, you might want to remember that unlike me, most girls aren't fond of boys waving their wieners at them. That's the first rule with girls; show them respect, and most times they'll return it in kind." "Some are just cruel," Billy muttered, the pain in his voice coming from the heart. "That's why I said most girls, not all." I started chopping an onion. "Everyone's different, Billy, boys and girls alike. Just because one girl hurt you, doesn't mean every girl will, though I'm sure it feels that way to you right now." "H-how'd you know about that?" Halting the knife, I gave him a gentle smile. "One-third woman's intuition. Another third knowing a number of boys around your age, who've gone through what you are. And the last third, is that I've been there myself. The thing is, kiddo, it happens. It'll probably happen again someday down the road. But if you don't get past the hurt now, you're never going to find yourself another girlfriend. Trust me on that." Billy was silent as I finished with the toppings, periodically tending to the cooking patties. Obviously he was thinking about what I'd said, and I secretly smiled at that. His mother is a feared lawyer, so it wasn't surprising he inherited her intellect, but it was still nice to see nonetheless. It wasn't until he'd grabbed us plates and condiments from the fridge, that he spoke again. "Sheila? How do I . . . get past it?" "The hurt?" I flipped a patty on the sizzling frying pan. "There's no real set way. I mean, everyone's different, and deals with life their own way. I can offer suggestions, but mostly it's finding what way works for you. More importantly, you have to want to do it, or you might as well not even try." He was silent for a moment. "I think I understand, but the problem's . . . well . . . ." "Whatever it is," I looked him straight in the eye, "know that I won't laugh, I won't tell another soul, and I won't judge you. I've been there, and remember all too well how hard it is. You don't have to tell me either, if you think it's solely a guy thing." "It is, you know, a guy thing," he admitted, "but I think only girls really know how to fix it. And you're a girl." I took a peek down the neck of my tank top. "Well, what do you know. I am a girl. Alright, all kidding aside, I think I see where you're going with this. It's a guy thing, but it's directly related to girls. Which means, a guy's advice might not be the best thing for dealing with it, right? I thought so. I'll help in any way I can. Seeing as supper's just about ready, though, how about we save it for after we eat. I've always found a good meal does wonders for a working mind." As we were about to chow down, Billy finally asked, in a bashfully-hesitant way, why I had flashed my tits in return. I arced a blonde eyebrow. "Did doing so make you stop and think?" "Of course. Oh, I get it now. That's really smart!" "Thank you." "Sheila? Would you ever . . . you know, let me see them again?" Looking at him from the corner of an eye, I allowed a half-grin. "We'll see. Now eat, before your food gets cold." Most other boys would've pressed their luck, seeking a more definitive answer. Billy instead began eating without another word. He was a smart one, and cute to boot. Add to that the possibility his mother . . . . Sometimes it's amazing how serendipity works. Here I might be on the trail of a possible solution, to something that until now I hadn't fully realized I had been seeking to solve. It wasn't a certainty, that's for sure, but maybe . . . just maybe . . . . Of course, only time would tell.
