Chapter #5.- Doing pantry.

I was doing my office job. After a bit of my day, I had a bit rest time. It was a huge building where I worked, thirty floors high, in some floors was a smoking area, a little room closed with a little ventilate system, where smokers could do own.

"Smoke break!" I exclaimed in my mind. I took my cigarette pack and my lighter and went to the smoking area that was next to my cubicle. On the way I saw that Jessy was getting close to the room.

We ended next to each other in the room's door of the smoking area.

"Oh! Hi Aly!" saluted me confident.

"Ah! Hi Jessy" I responded.

She was a woman with long hair, brown eyes and black thin waist but huge hips and breasts. She opens the door and left enter first them she entered. We took a sit in the room's corner, next to the ashtray, because we liked to breathe our own smoke after do a cloud together.

I took my cigarette pack to take one, but I saw that I had no cigarettes in it.

"Oh… no…" I said.

"Mmh? What happen?" asked Jessy to me.

"Eh… tee-hee… I have no cigarettes already…" I said.

"Oh, it's okay. Don't worry. Take one of mine…" she said and she offered me from her black cigarette pack.

I knew that brand of cigarettes had a strong flavor. It would made me cough a bit with its strong and harsh smoke. I took a cigarette knowing that.

"Thanks!" I said to her.

"Oh, you're welcome" she responded.

I took my lighter to smoke that cigarette. I inhaled a bit of smoke while sipped it at the first drag, because I was preventing cough with its harsh smoke. I blew the smoke to the roof making a cloud over our heads. In a moment, I saw that Jessy couldn't lighted her cigarette. Her lighter was out.

"Wanna light?" I asked to her while I was offering my lighter.

"Oh! Thanks!

I lighted up her cigarette closer to her. I wanted on purpose her smoke my face, of course, she known it. She did a smoke screen among us after lighted it up and blew a bit of the smoke to my face discreetly with her open mouth, before blew the smoke to the aside from me doing a profuse cloud.

"Ah! Nothing like a cigarette, right?" she said me and she sipped her cigarette.

"Yeah!" I responded a bit doubted. She saw me and asked for it.

"What happen? Are you okay?" she said me with smoke in each word, then she blew the smoke to the roof.

"I'm okay… but, is my daughter… I don't know what to do with her…" I said and I sipped my cigarette.

"Mmh… let me guess. She loves your cigarette smoke" she told.

"Cough! Cough! Oh! How did you know that?" I got surprised. I coughed choked a couple of times and I said to her.

"Mmh… I've no child, I never got married. But I have a niece on my sister's side, who like to see me smoke. She's fourteen years old" she told me and sipped her cigarette.

"Eh? And… and… do you smoke cigarettes in front of her?!" I said surprised.

"Yeah!" she responded curtly.

"But… but… she's only a girl! That's not good…" I said to her. "Do your sister knows that you are smoking in front of her?" I asked to her a bit worried.

She laughed very loud and she responded a bit whispered closer to my ear.

"No. it is our secret.

"But… but…" I said.

"Oh! Please! It's okay. When did you start to smoke cigarettes? Twelve… thirteen years?" she asked to me.

"Thirteen…" I responded so shyly.

"Yeah! See that! Did you see an adult smoking? Or something like that?" she said me.

"Mmh… a friend… we started to smoke because a teacher in our school taught us how to smoke… we loved her way to smoke… I wanted to smoke like her…" I said a bit worried.

"That's it! I think it would unfair that you started to watch all actions of your daughter, right? I mean, you chose your way… why do your daughter would not choice her way between smoking or not?" she asked to me.

"I think… you're right…" I said to avoid problems about that and I sipped my cigarette.

"Trust me! Smoke a bit in front of her. Maybe she will get angry by the smell, and would try to make you stop smoking.

"And… if it doesn't pass…" I asked to her.

"Don't buy cigarettes to her… that's all, and left to smoke in front of her, until she turns major" she said and she sipped her cigarette.

"Mmh… okay… I'll take your tip…" I said.

"Don't worry… if she doesn't start to smoke by you, maybe she will start by another stuffs… it's okay, at the end, she would choice…" she said with smoke in each word.

"Mmh…" I nodded.

She giggled a bit. I turned to her and she started to tell me.

"Just… just don't be like me. My niece loves so much my smoke and, curiously, I like to make her cough with my smoke… if you really are worried, don't smoke in front of her until make her cough… tee-hee, when my niece is coughing loud and hard, I stop smoking. I think it is sufficient smoke in her little and delicate lungs when she's coughing like that way, of course, she doesn't want that I stop smoking, but it is necessary to stop in something moment. She needs to breathe air in something moment.

"I see…" I said a bit worried.

After that I went to the school to take my daughter. I needed her to do the pantry. I arrived to the school. I saw that she was with a friend. I took her to the mini super. On the way she saw a person who was her friend, Amanda. She was waiting for her mother to take her home.

We arrived to the mini-super. On the way we bought cereal boxes, pasta, toilet paper, some intimate stuff, and more.

In the cash register was Abby, who worked there. She was younger than me, I didn't know exactly her age, but I knew that she was younger. White skin, long and slight brown hair with pink in the internal part, with long red hair lock in front falling in her face, covering a bit her left eye, a little nose, huge blue eyes and light pink lip gloss and piercings in her ears.

"Oh! Hello Aly!" she saluted me confidently.

"Hi Abby! I'm just here to buy the pantry and… oh! And three cigarette packs please!" I said to her.

"The same brand that you're used to?!" she told me.

"Of course, yes…" I responded smiling.

"Eh! Great! Oh, we have a promotion on your favorite cigarette brand, a pack of three cigarettes packs for the price of one, if you want it!" she offered me a bit anxious.

"Oh?! Eh… really?" I said thinking about the offer. After almost a minute I asked to her. "Ok! Give three!" I told her.

"Three cigarettes pack or…" she said a bit scared.

"Three packs of packs, please". I said,

"Oh… but… those will be nine cigarette packs…" she responded to me a bit anxious.

"Yeah! Please…" I said to her and I saw her eyes mischievous to get her scare a little. "I'm a big! Big smoker!" I told her naughty.

She giggled nervously. She responded me: "Okay! Nine cigarette packs in coming!" and she passed to the cash register all of our stuffs.

While I was putting the things in the band, she turned to my daughter and told her.

"Tee-hee! Maybe you're getting choke almost daily in home, with all that smoke that your mom does with all of those cigarettes, right?

"Eh?!" exclaimed Marina surprised.

"Hey! What do you mean?" I exclaimed to her.

She giggled and she only said to my daughter while she was fanning with a hand near to her face.

"Try to get far away from your mom while she's smoking! So much cigarette smoke would be very toxic to you! Tee-hee!" she said and she giggled like a little girl.

"Hey!" I exclaimed to her. We laughed a bit.

We went to my car to keep the things that we bought. Abby helped us on the way. In a moment. Marina got so anxious.

"Mom! Could… could you do…" she said, and she saw my a bit embarrassedly while she was pointing to Abby.

"Oh! Marina! Please!" I said to her.

"Mom!" she exclaimed.

"Oh? Is all okay there?" Abby said.

Marina touched my shoulder with her own. I got a bit anxious.

"Nah. It's noth…" I tried to say but Marina interrupted me and told to Abby.

"Would you like to eat something in our house tomorrow at afternoon?" she ased.

"Marina!" I exclaimed shyly.

"Is that a date?" questioned Abby curiously.

"Eh… of course, n…" I tried to said no, but Marina interrupted me again with eagerness.

"Yes! Of course, yes!" she said to her.

"Eh?!" I said nervously.

"Okay! It's a date! I'll be there at six o' clock!" she said.

"Yeah! That's it!" responded Marina so glad.

"Okay, thanks!" told me Abby and she went to the mini-super.

We went to the car. On the way I scolded her.

"Ergh! Why did you do that?!

"What?!" responded Marina curtly.

"To… To invite Abby to our home!" I said to her.

"Oh! Mom! I can see that you're in love of her, and she look like that she loves you. What's wrong with that?!" she said.

"I'm just getting anxious… so anxious! Very, very anxious!" I responded to her.

"Mmh… well… try to calm down… eh… maybe you need to smoke a cigarette…" she told me.

"I won't smoke in the car with you, honey!" I responded to her. I knew that she only wished to breathe my cigarette smoke inside the car.
