Reflections, Part 3

REFLECTIONS-
PART THREE

"Janice! Elly and Tina are here!" Her Mom announced as she let the girls in. 
She greeted Tina, who was taller, but somewhat younger than Elly.

"We've already had dinner, though you can help yourself to anything you can 
find in the refrigerator. Provided it's not moldy," Andrea laughed.

Andrea and Janice had had some quick sandwiches for dinner, and her Mom 
agreed to let her have a piece of creamy chocolate pie when they were done. 
Her Mom went upstairs to change and put on more makeup while her devious 
little chubby darling secretly helped herself to another giant piece of pie, 
then she felt full, so she went upstairs to play with her dolls and enjoy 
that full feeling in her tummy.

Elly was wearing a pair of jeans and a sloppy sweatshirt, not exactly 
befitting her role at the supermarket, but she still had the dark eyes that 
showing her attention to the mascara. Tina wore less makeup, and was clad in 
a tank top, jeans, and a light nylon jacket. This was in serious contrast 
with Andrea, who had put on some stockings and a rather tight skirt, which 
swept over her hips, revealing a bare tummy. Her outfit continued: with a 
sequined, spaghetti strap red top that revealed a sinful amount of cleavage, 
drawn up by the careful and nearly painful application of her push-up bra 
beneath, adorned by a flashy necklace of big pearls to match the robustness 
of her figure. Her face was darkly made-up, with a warm, almost copper tone 
just below her cheekbones, which beautifully matched the deep azure eye 
shadow that she wore beneath wickedly long lashes. Her blue eyes seemed to 
sparkle with an allure that beckoned, and her lips were the color of fresh, 
ripe, succulent cherries and colored in a perfect shade to match the top. 
She tossed her well-brushed blonde hair back over her shoulder and ushered 
the girls in. A hint of the scent of a beautiful perfume, applied generously 
beneath the ears greeted the younger girls as they entered.

"Wow! You look really sexy, Andrea. You must be going somewhere special 
tonight!" Elly stated the obvious opinion, smiling admiringly at Andrea, 
then she looked for a place to set her overnight bag, as the older woman 
closed the door and said:

"No, I'm just out to work; I like to get dressed up occasionally, because 
there's a couple of guys that need the whole treatment tonight. We're a full 
service spa, you know," Andrea said in a low tone, then put her hand to her 
face and cleared a cough, displaying those nails again, which were now the 
same color as her lips and her top. Janice emerged in the stairway above 
with reddened cheeks that were bursting with happiness within the feeling of 
the 2 big supplementary bars of chocolate bliss that she now held 
comfortably within her tummy. She was as happy as a peach, and looked as 
cheerfully cute.

"Hi, Janice!" Elly said in an animated tone, reaching out to her as Janice 
came bouncing down the stairs. She introduced her to Tina, who caught the 
resemblance in her face to Andrea, despite all the makeup and clothing on 
the older woman. She pinched Janice's cheek and said:

"My! What a pretty little daughter you have!"

Elly scooped her up and hugged her, and Janice could smell the smell of 
cigarette smoke on her, as she greeted her with a generous hug and a kiss on 
those fat little cheeks. In the meantime, Elly was digesting what Andrea had 
said, and  told the little chubby girl:

"Now, Mommy's going off to work at the hair shop, and we're going to have a 
lot of fun together, because we brought some games, and coloring books, and 
all kinds of things to do!" Elly finished and glanced at Andrea, who gave 
her a little smile as she put her furry, jet-black wrap on. Then Andrea 
fished in her bag and withdrew a cigarette, lighting it up in the 
semidarkness of the hallway and holding the lighter to it to burn it 
completely and thoroughly before clicking the lighter shut. She drew on it 
for what seemed like forever while thinking of what to tell the girls, and 
the hot ember illuminated the dark makeup on her face hauntingly. Then she 
filled that huge chest of hers with a breath of air, and held the cigarette 
up next to her wrap, saying with breath-held:

"Now, help yourself to anything you need. Janice knows where everything 
is... (she paused to inhale a bit more, thinking)... if anyone calls, just 
take a message... (another brief inhale)... I'll be at the shop until around 
10, and then you can reach me at the other number on the pad in the kitchen, 
and... (she breathed out the enormous breath that threatened to rend her 
garment)... above all, enjoy! And thank you for coming on such short 
notice," Andrea smiled sweetly at both of the girls, her teeth forming a 
striking contrast beyond warm, glossed lips of that beautiful satin color 
which she also wore beneath her cleavage. Her wickedly curved and painted 
nails clutched the cigarette intensively. Andrea reached over to Janice, in 
Elly's arms, and gave her a kiss. Smoke remained in her mouth, which she was 
entirely unaware of in that darkened hallway but Janice didn't mind the 
taste. She had become quite used to it.

"We'll be fine. Have a good time at work!" Elly and Tina both waved as Elly 
set Janice down, not feeling that she could support her anymore, and Andrea 
put the cigarette in her lips and walked out the door. Janice thought that 
she needed a reward for being such a good and wonderful Mommy, and it was 
nice to see her sucking on the cigarette again to get it. She licked her 
lips with Andrea's taste on them and smelled the wonderful perfume.

"Your Mom looks really great; I bet it's a wonderful place to get your hair 
cut," Elly said just to drive home the point about working, but managed to 
throw a knowing glance in Tina's direction. The older girls recognized that 
Andrea had somehow managed to shelter her little kid from whatever was going 
on at the hair salon, and they really needn't know anymore about it.

"It's a great place for a guy to get laid," Janice said, then realized that 
she had said something very bad as she saw a shocked expressions come across 
Elly's and Tina's faces, so she quickly followed it up with:

"At least that's what Patti says, but I'm not supposed to tell you," she 
hoped that would get her out of trouble. She realized that she'd better be 
more careful with Elly, because she felt very relaxed around her.

"That's a bad word, Janice. You shouldn't use it, because it's not being 
very ladylike," was all Elly could manage to say. Tina put her finger to her 
lips and shushed the little girl, showing what Janice perceived as an 
interesting, multivariate color to her nails, while trying to stifle her own 
amusement.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I know it was bad," Janice hung her head in 
sorrow, and her chubby cheeks melted Elly's confused disposition. She was 
afraid that the little girl was going to cry, and her Mom hadn't even gotten 
out of the driveway yet. No, Janice probably didn't really understand the 
true meaning of that word, and had overheard some piece of conversation. She 
suddenly felt very sorry for this little girl who had clearly seen much more 
than many girls her age of a confusing world, and she wanted to console her.

"It's OK, Janice, just don't use that word when you're around other people. 
After all, Tina has very sensitive ears. Now, did you have dinner yet? I 
forgot what your Mom said," Elly figured that changing the subject would get 
things moving. She looked at the chubby little girl, and figured that eating 
was an important subject to her.

"Yes, you wouldn't want to hurt my ears, would you?" Tina made a freaky face 
at Janice while holding her ears out. That got Janice laughing, and Tina 
followed the act up with a tummy tickle.

"Dinner? Oh, yeah, we had roast beef, but we haven't had dessert yet. Mom 
left a pie in the refrigerator for us to finish!" Janice was so 
inspirational at times, that she almost impressed herself. She announced 
that it was in the refrigerator and tugged on Elly's arm to come along.

"OK, you take it out of the fridge, I just need to get something from my 
bag," Elly went to withdraw her pack of cigarettes and the lighter from the 
sack , while Janice, giggling and bubbling all over, ran off to the kitchen 
with Tina. Elly originally wasn't sure if smoking was OK in the house, but 
after seeing Andrea and smelling all the smoke in here, she felt it gave her 
the green light. She had a feeling that she was going to need them tonight.

Upon entering the kitchen and seeing the big, crystal ashtray on the table, 
some groceries still in the bags that she had packed at the market, and the 
image of Janice gleefully opening the refrigerator and pulling out the pan 
of pie, she felt a bit more relaxed. This was very much like home. Janice 
showed Tina where the plates were, and she started to take three of them 
down.

"Oh, none for me, Tina, my diet, you know. You can have as much as you want, 
though, pudgy-girl," she said, plopping her cigarettes and her lighter on 
the table, and laughing while sitting down.

"I'm going to have just a tiny piece,  Janice, and thank you, you bitc.. a 
bit of a piece?" Tina said, showing Janice how much to cut off as she glared 
at Elly and quickly recovered from the slip of the tongue. Then her eyes 
widened as Janice transferred the entire remainder of the soft chocolate 
concoction onto her own plate, making an enormous pile, grabbed a couple of 
forks from the drawer and sat down at the table, smiling sweetly. Elly 
laughed, and then spied the big bottle of vodka on the table.

"On second thought, can you get me a glass, Tina? I'm feeling a bit 
thirsty," Elly giggled as Tina withdrew a glass from the cabinet obediently, 
and set it down on the table.

"Do you want some soda or some fruit juice or milk?" Tina asked innocently 
while poking her head into the refrigerator, without knowledge of what Elly 
had in her evil mind.

"Just a glass. I see what I want, and it's something in the kitchen, so I 
guess we can have it," Elly said, bursting with wicked anticipation.

"You bitch!" Tina looked up and caught a glimpse of Elly, happily pouring 
her glass full of vodka. Elly began to laugh as Janice transferred a mammoth 
piece of pie to her mouth.

"That's an awfully big piece of pie for a little girl," Elly said, shaking a 
cigarette out of her pack and holding it between her fingers.

"Well, Mommy said that we should finish it," Janice said while opening her 
mouth and stuffing that next enormous piece into her mouth.

"Should she have that much?" Tina said, setting her tiny piece down on the 
table and sitting down to eat while staring at the young girl's packed 
plate.

"Sure. Tonight's her reward night, besides, it's a party!" Elly smiled and 
did that cute thing with her turned up nose as she slipped the cigarette 
neatly into her mouth. With a movement that jutted out her tiny chin, she 
brought the cigarette to life, pulled deeply on it and brought the lighter 
down as her drag continued. Then she looked at Janice, popped it out of her 
mouth quickly, inhaled the breath, then said to Janice:

"Well, I promise that we won't tell on you, and your Mom said we should 
enjoy, so eat up!" The phrase was delivered in a mirthful tone, and then the 
smoke flowed out of Elly's lips in splendid perfection. Then she took a sip 
from the glass, and made a horrible face, shuddering with the taste of the 
straight vodka. But then she came out of the pose and she smiled.

"Whew, that's strong stuff! You want some, pudgy-poo?" She laughed wickedly 
at Tina.

"Shut up, just remember that you're driving home tonight, you shit," she 
cautioned Elly, feeling herself in control of the situation. After all, she 
felt capable of driving home, although she had no license and she would be 
totally freaked out if she were stopped.

Janice noticed that awesome little spark in Elly's eyes once more. Yes, Elly 
was someone that she would like having as her sitter, Janice thought as she 
munched on the pie, mostly because she was so cute with that nose of hers, 
but also because she was only a foot taller than Janice was. She continued 
to fill her mouth with the pie greedily, as Tina munched delicately, and 
Elly drew repeated pleasures from her cigarette. This slumber party was off 
to a good start.

"Do you have boyfriends? Janice said suddenly, "Mrs, Edmonton, who comes 
here sometimes to sit, her husband croaked, and she's such been a real 
freak," Janice stated with a mouthful of pie that swelled out her cheeks, 
then looked at the two girls for their reactions while stuffing more pie 
into her mouth.

Caught in the middle of the next puff, Elly stopped momentarily, then drew 
on the cigarette again in apparent nonchalance, finally pulling the rich 
smoke into her lungs for a full breath. She breathed it out in a smooth and 
long cone, exhaling fully into the room and turned and wrinkled her little 
nose up at Janice.

"Yes, I've got a boyfriend. Tina's kinda looking around at the moment, 
though. Do you have any friends that are really cute?" She giggled and took 
another sip of the glass while she looked at Tina, who had finished her pie. 
The girl then immediately blushed and snatched the cigarette out of Elly's 
fingers, saying:

"I'm looking, but I'm just particular about the type of guy that I go out 
with," She put on a royal air and delicately took a tiny puff from the 
cigarette, apparently to prove her age. Then she gently inhaled and blew the 
contents into Elly's face while she held the cigarette up with her arm on 
the table gracefully.

Laughing with a small cough, Elly turned to Janice and said:

"Do you have any boyfriends? I'm sure a cute girl like you has lots of 
boyfriends." She then looked deeply into the glass and raised it to her lips 
and felt the warmth that it provided.

It was Janice's turn to blush, partially from the amount of chocolate that 
was sending her on a sugar high to end all sugar highs, but mostly from 
thoughts about boys. She had watched her Mom and Patti for years now, and 
seen the way that their moods changed in the presence of them, from serious 
to bright and perky. She had tried this, on a few occasions with the boys 
that she liked, and it had disastrous results.

"No, nobody, really," she shoveled another big forkful of pie into her 
mouth. She was feeling the fullness that she craved.

Tina took another tiny puff on the cigarette, but inhaled it in deeply and 
then sat back, feeling quite full after her small piece of pie. She blew out 
a stream of smoke over the kitchen table and watched it curling off 
contemplatively.

"Tina brought something we might have some fun with, but you have to finish 
that entire piece of pie before we try it," Elly said, suddenly struck with 
naughty thoughts as she brought another rush of liquid into her mouth..

"OOOoooo, goodie! What is it?" Janice said, looking down at the remaining 
pie, and shoveling another large, creamy mouthful into her face. She was 
beginning to develop that awesomely full feeling of splendid overindulgence 
as she watched Tina drag on the cigarette again with a similar, but much 
less fattening result. Tina blew out the puff in a long cloud which extended 
across to the counter before it broke up and released her feelings to the 
world, and she said in a secretive voice:

"I brought my special makeup kit; would you like your face to glow tonight?" 
Tina leaned close to her, and pretended that this was the best thing since 
the invention of fire, hoping that she would get the upper hand in this 
conversation. After all, her Mom was a Mary Kay lady, and that ought to 
qualify her. Elly continued to sip the vodka.

"Can you, really? My Mom always says she'll teach me how to use her makeup 
sometime, but there's never time to do it really right," Janice said with a 
hopeful expression, imagining her face glowing like her Mom's. Then she 
paused for a moment and saw Elly taking the cigarette back from Tina, and 
she watched as the older girl sat in the same pose and in the same chair as 
her Mom, while she was taking a drag. She drew on the cigarette in almost 
precisely the same fashion, and nodded her head as she filled her lungs with 
smoke. Immediately, Elly was skyrocketed to the top of the list of favorite 
baby sitters.

"Mm, hmm." Elly sat and waited for the little girl to finish her enormous 
amount of pie as she sucked on the cigarette in triumph. Deeply and with 
incredible pleasure, as she brought that taste into her lungs and felt every 
cell responding with its own unique charm and delicate wonderment. She 
smiled at the chubby little girl that sat before her, finishing her 
chocolate pie, and she exhaled a cloud of smoke up into the air that reached 
to the ceiling. Janice smiled back, quickly pushing more forkfuls of pie 
into her devilish little mouth as Elly drank from the glass and brought more 
rewards into her body.

***

"Damn!" She shouted at herself within the smoke-filled vehicle. She'd have 
to get her mind back on that matters of the business. She felt that the 
secret of developing a new client was in how you delivered those first few 
lines of the presentation, and she had to get it right, because soon she'd 
be there.

No, she had better not reveal too much of her thought patterns, considering 
that Johnson was all businesslike, judging from the bio that she read in 
snatches as she drove along the turnpike. She put down the window and 
exhaled a chest full of smoke, while she tossed the burning little spent 
treat off into the abyss. She'd have to rehearse the best part of the 
presentation, and be ready for his eventual reaction to the punch line. Of 
course, if she did a good job presenting everything else, it should be the 
obvious conclusion. That only she could help him, but of course, he'd have 
to pay up-front, naturally. Another contract into the future to join the 
others. Then the money could be hers, and she could spend it as she wished. 
Perhaps this time, she'd buy a Ferrari instead of this tired old Jaguar that 
she was driving. She could always count on repeat business from a customer. 
Not one of the eleven she currently visited on a regular basis had refused 
to extend their contracts.

Yes, she enjoyed her rewards very much, but she needed this twelfth client 
to make her life superlative. She giggled as she lit up another cigarette, 
pulling on it extract all its goodness, and thinking about Johnson, and then 
pulling on it again to deliver a rich measure of nicotine into her lungs. 
The words came back again, as she started subconsciously humming the tune 
again:

So go on, go on, come on, leave me breathless
Tempt me, tease me, until I can't deny
This loving feeling (loving feeling)
Make me long for your kiss
Go on (go on), go on (go on)
Yeah...
Come on
Yeah...
