“ Sure had a lot of customers today.”, said Lisa as she took the money from the register.

Watching the seventeen year old girl, Kate responded, “ Yea…, but the day’s over…, finally…, what a mess it was.”

“ This time of year…all the people are buying those stupid lawn and garden things…, I hate that shit.”

“ Well…, what can I say.”, answered the manager, taking the cash from the blond.

“ Is it all right if I clock out now, Kate?”

“ Yea, go ahead.”

“ Thanks…, I’ll be here tomorrow at two in the afternoon.”

“ Great…, have a good one.”

With a quick step, the attractive highschool student left the check out area of the now empty store, save for the two females, and darted back to the employee lounge where she punched her card, grabbed her coat, and took off again, headed toward the main entrance.

“ Bye Kate!”

“ Bye Lisa.”, said the boss lady, waving her hand.

Alone now in the structure, the manager listened to the girl’s car start and drive away into the darkness. Looking at the overhead clock, Kate read ten thirty.

“ I’ve really gotta try to get more time for myself…this retail business is really killing me.”, said the manager to herself as she got things ready, placing the money in a large plastic zip bag destined for the bank’s depository box.

Finished, the brunette, with her dark hairs raised to her head’s top, took her black suit jacket and put it on. Slowly, she walked across the store’s tile, listening to the sound of her stiletto knee high black leather boots as they struck the smooth surface.

With the cash bag in one hand and her black purse hanging about her right shoulder, Kate left the structure and ventured out to her vehicle.

Upon opening the door, she tossed both objects on the passenger seat and slowly lowered her nice ass behind the wheel.

Having a black slim skirt on, the lady felt a light cool breeze go between her legs as she shut the door. The keys now in hand, Kate started the engine and drove off, headed toward the bank.

After she pulled up along side the deposit box, Kate opened the metal thing and dropped the bag into it, closing the depository afterward. Done, the woman rolled up the window and put the car back into gear, this time going straight home.

As the machine moved along, the dark-haired brunette decided to have a smoke. Consequently, she lowered her left hand into her purse and removed a pack of Marlboros. With the white stick in hand, she used the car’s light to fire up. Inhaling, Kate leaned back somewhat, relaxed herself, and looked forward to a nice hot bath when she finally gets to her place.

For the last five years, she’d been married to Sam, a business man who worked the nine to five shift. With her retail job, Kate usually came home later, always looking forward to seeing him, spending some time with the guy before both turned in. Musing away as she drove the car, Kate inhaled upon the cigarette and smiled, happy the work day was over.

Twenty minutes of driving over, the brunette pulled into the driveway of her home and parked behind her husband’s vehicle. Getting out, she grabbed her purse and closed the car’s door behind her. However, while she walked along the drive, by the home’s edge, headed toward the structure’s front, she happened to gaze across the street and see a parked car.

“ That’s funny…, I’ve never seen that thing here before.”, said Kate to herself while going up the front steps.

With grace, she took her keys from her pocket and unlocked the door, slowly stepping inside. Flicking the light switch on, the brunette watched a lamp brighten seated upon an end table next to the sofa. Staring straight ahead, she gazed at the livingroom’s grandfather clock when she lightly exclaimed, “ That jerk…, I told him to set the time an hour ahead…, doesn’t he remember daylight savings time!” A little frustrated, the lady approached the six foot tall object and set it herself, synchronizing the time piece with her watch.

Finished, she dropped her purse on the couch, turned, and quietly ascended the steps.
