“Yes, I’m fine with them.”

“Well, since we have sorted out what kind of movie we’ll be watching, I’ll see you on Monday at seven, don’t be late. I don’t like waiting around,” Skylar answered him.

He nodded and smiled at her before deciding to leave before he said or did anything stupid.

Watching Nate leave, she closed the door and moved back into her room, putting on her pyjamas and jumping into bed. She had a long day with Chantal. They were never short days with that girl. Rolling over and hugging the pillow, it didn’t take her long to fall into a deep sleep.

Chapter 4

By the time Monday came, Skylar was excited. She was going to the movies tonight with Nate. After the last two days she had, that was the only thing that put a smile on her face. The pipe had burst in the kitchen and she had to wait a day for the guy to come out and fix it, so she had no water for that whole time. Then there was the installation of the new air conditioner; they had to cancel, as they overbooked themselves. But that was all sorted now. She had to get ready for work. She worked for Heaven’s Touch Adult Shop as a sales representative for one of her friends, Stacy. Her job was to buy products from the manufacture and sell them to her friend. Helping her receive more customers and more buyers for the company that she purchased them from. Also set up stands to promote certain products to draw customers in, and promote how the products work.

She met Stacy ten years ago when she went into an adult store as a dare by her friends and had to buy a vibrator. That’s how she got into this business.

                    Pulling on her black slacks and red blouse, once she was completely done, she jumped in her 4WD and drove to the store. Parking in the back, she unlocked the door and went inside. Skylar grabbed the new stands and products, and placed them where she wanted them. When she was happy at where she placed them, she went back out to the office and jumped on her laptop to see what other new products were coming out that she could put on show.

At 9:45 a.m. Stacy walked in, “Hey Sky, why are you here so early?” Stacy asked, placing her belongings near her desk.

“Hey. I had to put the new promotional items up today. They’re near the front window.” Skylar looked up and smiled at her.

“So, what have you got up this time? Did you leave me any information about it, so if a customer asks about it I can actually answer them properly without making it up?” Stacy laughed.

Skylar knew she would bring that up. “I have several of the new Jenna Jameson life-like blow-up dolls, a new line of erotic lubrication in different flavours and scents, and the true-to-life John Holmes dildos. And yes, I did leave information; it’s on your desk next to your mail. The items are pretty easy to explain, not too technical, especially for you to understand.”

“This is the Jenna blow-up doll, it’s life-like and even sounds like her. She did a voice recording to add to her doll, so it would sound realistic; there is one set up already in back, I just haven’t brought it out yet. I wanted to place it near the register, but waited for you to see what you think.”

Stacy picked up the box and started reading the description. “That sounds very interesting; does it actually do what it says on the box? Some items say they do things but never do.”

“Yes it does, that’s why I got it for your store. A friend of mine got me into these and they work pretty well, just like being with a female,” Skylar answered, and went to grab the already blown-up doll. Bringing it back out she started to explain the basics on what it did. “Its mouth moves in a sucking motion, also the tongue moves and vibrates so if a guy puts his cock in there it feels like the real thing. The pussy vibrates and grips and loosens, her ass does the same. If you grab her breasts she moans loud. But she also does that with the other motions.” Skylar demonstrated the different functions with a dildo. It was pretty impressive.

“That’s amazing, Skylar. You really do find the good stuff,” Stacy said.

“The John Holmes dildo is a replica of his actual cock length and width, and the veins have been added for extra sensation. It also moves up and down and side to side in a rotating position.” Skylar turned it on to show her. She watched it move up and down in a pumping action, then she hit a button and it started to do the side-to-side rotation.

“No wonder a lot of guys come in here buying this stuff for their wives or girlfriends. They can’t do
that
themselves.” She could understand why these kind of moveable dildos sell so well. No guy out there could do that, it was impossible.

“I haven’t priced these yet; I couldn’t find your pricing gun, but I wrote down the price for them and left it on your desk.”

“Okay. I’ll do that just before I open up,” Stacy said. 

“I’ll read information before I open
up. Do you have any posters or flyers for these products?”

“I have both. I’ll place the posters around the shop and put a stack of flyers near the cash register for you.”

“Thanks, Skylar. You really do find the right stuff to sell. I just wish you would take more percentage of the products sold than what you do, Sky.”

“Stacy, I don’t need any more than the thirty percent I get now. I told you in the beginning, that I enjoy my job. Plus you are my only client, and that is enough for me at the moment.” Skylar said, and gave her a hug. “I’ll see you next week with the new products. If you need any more just let me know so I can order them in. They come express, so you wouldn’t have to wait too long for them.”

“I’ll call you if I need any more, and I’ll see you next Monday. Be good!”

“I always am,” Skylar said, laughing as she was heading out the store.

Once she placed the posters around the shop where she wanted them and placed the flyers near the register, she grabbed her stuff from the back and walked to her car. Once inside she clicked on her seatbelt, reversed out and headed home. She had to jump on the Internet when she got home to find the next top-selling products, read up on them and get them sent out for next week. Then once she finished that, she had to think of what to wear tonight.

She stopped telling herself that it wasn’t a date and just two friends going to see a movie. Maybe she should call Chantal, to help her pick something to wear. She decided she’d wait until she got home and ring her after she went online to do her next orders.

Nate arrived home from his brother’s place several hours later. He grabbed something to drink and sat on his couch. He still couldn’t think who would follow him, and he didn’t even know anyone that owned that kind of car. While contemplating what to do next, Dom knocked and walked in.

“Hey Nate, you decent?” he called from the foyer.

“Yeah, come on in,” he said.

Once inside, Dom first heading to the kitchen so he could grab a beer from the fridge. While opening the beer, he moved to sit across from Nate. “So I was thinking of heading to Joey’s tonight. They have this new band playing and they sound pretty good, you interested?” Dom asked.

“Sorry, man, I have plans tonight, maybe next time.”

“Is Tracey coming over? That is one fine lady, but I prefer blondes.”

Smiling at that, Nate replied, “No, you just prefer Chantal. When are you going to ask her out on a date and get serious, man?”

“Of course I prefer her, what isn’t there to like about her? She’s perfect in every way, but we’re only friends,” Dom answered with a grin.

God, he was stupid. If only those two actually sat down together and told each other how they felt. Maybe he needed to help these two out. He smiled at the thought.

“What’s so funny?” Dom asked, frowning.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing about you.” He knew that would shut him up.

“So what are your plans tonight, if you’re not seeing Tracey?”

“If you must know, I asked Skylar out to the movies,” Nate answered with a smile.

“Wow, really? I can’t believe you actually asked someone out, that doesn’t relate to just sex.”

“Funny, I don’t need to ask someone out for sex. I just call one of the girls if I just want that, but that’s not what this is about anyway. There’s something about her that draws me to her, but I don’t know what it is. I really want to get to know her. Is that so hard to believe?” He frowned at Dom. He couldn’t explain what he felt towards her to himself, let alone Dom.

“Well, you beat me to it; I was going to do it next week.” Dom said in a sarcastic, joking tone.

Nate hoped he was joking but to be sure he asked, “Why would you do that? You can’t think past Chantal.”

“Well, a man’s got to have options,” Dom laughed.

“You can just think of Chantal, or one of your little groupies,” Nate growled. He didn’t want to see or think of Dom with Skylar at all.

Dom answered with his hands up. “Wow, man. I was only pulling your leg. I knew you would go after Skylar. That’s why I didn’t do anything.”

That calmed him down a bit. He couldn’t think of anyone being with her but him.

“So what time are you two going?”

       “We’re meeting at her place at seven.”

“Well, keep a lookout for that car, okay? It’s been bugging me all day, so just be careful. If you need me, give me a call.” Dom said to Nate in a serious tone. “I will, Dom. Thanks.” He knew he could count on Dom for anything. They were always there for each other no matter what.

After an hour talking about what his brother had been up to, Dom left. Nate had two hours before he had to pick up Skylar for their date.
God, he hadn’t been on one in five years
, he thought, but it all was good. Going through the cinema guide as to what movies were on, there were a few good ones he wanted to see. He placed the guide on the table in the foyer near his keys and then processed to get some stuff done around his house. After about an hour passed, he started getting ready for his date. While doing that, he thought to himself how excited he was that he finally went over to her house to ask her out. He had to admit he was nervous about how she was going to react going on a date with him. He only hopes now that when he tries to get to know her and asks her about her life and her past that she doesn’t decide to end the date right then and there.

As soon as Skylar finished up her orders she needed to do for work, she decided to call Chantal and see if she wanted to come over for a while before she went out with Nate.

“So is this a date?” Chantal asked while going through Skylar’s closet, then adding, “You don’t have much to work with in here. I knew I should have brought some stuff with me.”

Annoyed by what her friend said, Skylar immediately replied, “This isn’t a date, Chantal. It’s just two people going out as friends and getting to know each other. And for your information, there is plenty of stuff for me to wear, I just can’t decide what.”

Rolling her eyes, Chantal looked at her friend while waving her hand at her closet and says, “There are only jeans and tops in here. There’s not one skirt or a dress in here.” Chantal knew Skylar didn’t wear skirts. She didn’t know why, but at least she should have a dress in here. Just then, Chantal remembered that Skylar did have a dress. “Where is that dress you bought a few months ago? The one you wore to Mark and Emma’s engagement party. That will work for tonight.”

Sighing, Skylar knew what she was talking about. She walked over to her closet and grabbed a bag that was hanging in the corner and then tossed it onto her bed.
