Chapter 9

“Oh, Baby, no, I, I’m sorry,” Cindy cried out, realizing she was frightening Alana.

“I, your friend, well, I guess she’s not your friend, Theresa?” Alana said as Cindy pulled to a stop in their garage.

“Hmm? Oh, oh no, Theresa? She’s fine, outside of the Sugar Shack, she’s fine,” Cindy assured Alana.

“Anyway, I said she could do up something with your bear and your…” Alana said.

“Sweetheart, those are yours. I made them for you,” Cindy reminded Alana.

Cindy knew when John Hebert arrived to the apartment. He left a three minute and forty two second rant on her phone; she had no right to remove all the furniture and the glasses and plates and other items.

“They’re mine, John,” Cindy texted. “All those things were already in the apartment when you moved in.”

“What the fuck am I supposed to do?” John’s next voice mail demanded.

“Crazy idea; go to the store,” Cindy responded.

“Hey, Cindy, what’s up?” Jim Hebert said pleasantly when Cindy called him.

“I’ll have a talk with him,” Jim sighed when Cindy let John’s brother know about John’s latest rant and complaint.

A few weeks after Cindy’s final night at the Sugar Shack, Rose Richards looked up as an attractive Asian-American woman entered her office. The smile faltered; Rose remembered declining to hire the woman.

“Hi; Edwards and Elswell have expressed a desire to hire me,” Theresa said, placing a laptop computer on Rose’s desk. “Especially if I can bring Alana’s Playtime with me.”

“I, who?” Rose asked as Theresa rapidly typed on the keyboard.

Sensuous bass guitar thudded and pounded. Rose’s head began bobbing to the beat. Rose watched as Alana Pratt skipped onto the screen. Her long blonde hair was done into two ponytails on the sides of her head. Her dress was short, reaching to just below her crotch. The image was completed by white knee socks and black Mary Janes on her feet.

“Hi, Mither Bear, you mith me?” Alana lisped, skipping up to an oversized bear.

The seated bear was six feet tall with fur of bright red and stark white. Rose smiled as Alana pressed her lips to the bear’s stitched lips.

“Mither Bear? I was thooo bad today,” Alana giggled, raising the hem of her short dress, exposing her bare buttocks to the camera. “Thee, I didn’t wear me no undies today!”

“Huh,” Rose said as Alana exposed her hairless pubic mound to the camera.

“I been mithing you all day and couldn’t wait get home tho we can play,” Alana said and knelt in front of the seated bear.

“Huh!” Rose said again as Alana unzipped the compartment at Mister Bear’s crotch and revealed an eight inch latex dong.

Rose watched as Alana demonstrated the locking mechanism, then vibrator’s controls, located in the plush toy animal’s left foot. Alana fucked herself with the buzzing toy for a few moments before dismounting and skipping over to an oversized Raggedy Andy.

“My Raggedy Boy don’t have no buzzy buzz; he just got a regular dicky,” Alana giggled into the camera. “But it’th thill tho nithe.”

“There are several patents pending on the locking mechanisms, and the remote control mounting bracket for the vibrating models; we call it a ‘buzzy buzz,'” Theresa said while on the computer, Alana talked about the construction of each Alana’s Playtime model and the care for the Alana’s Playtime products.

“Huh?” Alana squeaked, worried expression on her face as she glanced off-screen. “No, Mommy, I’m not being bad. I promithe.”

“This is the web site for Alana’s Playtime. We’re also heavily featured on several pornographic web sites,” Theresa continued.

“Y’all ship?” Rose asked as Theresa tabbed to some static web listings for Alana’s Playtime. “I’ve got a niece in Mordbrand, Kansas going through a nasty break-up with some trucker. This would be just the thing get her out of the blues.”

“Yes ma’am,” Theresa smiled and put a business card that had Alana’s Playtime web address listed in front of the woman.

“And you designed this marketing strategy?” Rose verified, tucking the card into her desk drawer.

“Yes ma’am. The web site itself, including marketplace and registering them with PayPal, getting that video listed with search engines, listed on pornographic web sites,” Theresa ticked off.

“And you’d be bringing them along as clients,” Rose verified, already digging out the forms Theresa would need to fill out for her employment.

Cindy’s first morning after quitting her job at the Sugar Shack, she woke up to see Alana’s happy face inches away from her own face. She smiled and Alana squealed and asked Cindy what she wanted to do, now that she no longer had that terrible job to worry about.

“First? I need to pee,” Cindy laughed. “What you want for breakfast?”

“You know how make French toast? Mrs. Tidwell made that; she was real good at that,” Alana asked, following Cindy into the bathroom.

Throughout that first day, into the evening hours, Cindy had a constant shadow. And the shadow never ceased babbling. Finally, Cindy realized Alana’s insecurities were bubbling up and spilling over.

Softly, Cindy kissed Alana into silence. Then, softly, Cindy undressed Alana then herself. Lying in their large bed, the two women made slow, gentle love.

“I am so happy being with you,” Cindy softly assured Alana as she and Alana cuddled after making love.

“I, I’m so happy I, I, I don’t know what to do,” Alana admitted.

The next day, Alana went with Cindy to Wilson’s Fabrics. She made a friendly huff of indignation when Cindy bought velour fabric in bright red and stark white, the colors for the University of Louisiana at DeGarde. Having experience, having a better understanding of the steps it took, Cindy was able to complete Theresa’s order in record time. Theresa again asked about doing a social media campaign of Cindy’s creations.

“So, what’s it called?” Theresa asked, fingers poised over her laptop’s keyboard. “Cindy’s Creations or…”

“Alana’s Playtime,” Cindy said and laughed when Alana squealed happily.

Five days after Theresa posted everything on-line, Cindy saw that she would once again have to postpone her college plans. She also had to hire first one, then three more women to sew the patterns.

“Teach these things how to take out the garbage, my husband’s ass would be out the door,” one seamstress admitted and the three other women squealed with laughter.

“Shit, forgot about the Christmas rush,” Cindy said as she saw several more orders on her account.

Tammy Timmons of Timmons, Duhon & Associates was the accountant recommended by Steven Jones, Alana’s attorney. Tammy Timmons recommended that Cindy get Alana’s Playtime out of 619 Caledonia Court and into its own facility.

Tammy Hale, a real estate agent with Davis Realty took Cindy and Alana around, looking at various commercial locations. On one such outing, Cindy saw the sign for David’s Jewelers. Suddenly, the decision of what to get Alana for Christmas was decided. She hoped David’s Jeweler’s would have an engagement ring with sapphire and amethyst stones; sapphire was Cindy’s birthstone and amethyst was Alana’s birthstone.

“Now, there, I wish they’d never opened up here,” Tammy said cheerfully, pushing her long red hair out of her eyes.

“Tornadough’s? Why?” Alana asked, looking at the building.

“Know how addictive those things are?” Tammy laughed, putting her blinker on.

“Almost as addictive as Newhart’s cinnamon buns?” Cindy asked and Alana shot Cindy a wide smile.

“This, think y’all are really going like this one,” Tammy said, pulling her car in front of a large mobile building. “Now, this used to be a used car dealership; lots of parking, mobile building’s comes with the lot. This has twelve hundred square feet; lots of room to grow into.”

“Leasing? Or selling?” Cindy asked, already liking the location before Tammy could even open the door.

“Lease to own,” Tammy said and popped the door open.

“Look! You, we could even have a showroom!” Alana said, pointing out the wide open area of the front room.

“Alana, Sweetheart, what we sell? Do we really need a showroom?” Cindy laughed.

“Oh? What do you sell?” Tammy casually asked as Alana led the procession through the building.

“Alana’s Playtime?” Cindy suggested.

“There’s two bathrooms back here,” Alana’s voice called out. “Oh! And a kind of kitchen thingy. That table and chairs? We could get them out of storage.”

“Sex bears,” Cindy said when Tammy did not react to the name ‘Alana’s Playtime.’

“Sex bears? What’s a…” Tammy asked as Cindy pulled up their web site on her IPhone.

“O. My. God,” Tammy goggled at Cindy’s phone as Alana pulled Cindy away to show Cindy more of the building.

“We’ll take it,” Cindy said as she and Alana concluded their tour.

“I, I want a Raggedy Boy,” Tammy blurted out, handing Cindy the IPhone. “I, can I get one with a Baylor Lake Bandits’ jersey?”

“Absolutely,” Cindy assured Tammy. “Buzzy buzz model or…”
