I Check Out The Checkout Girl

I Check Out The Checkout Girl By rutger5


“ Sorry I have to ask you this but can I see your I.D.?”


The cashier who asked me this question didn’t look old enough to buy beer herself but in the supermarket where she worked it was store policy to check everyone, no matter their age.


“I know you’re only doing your job. Glad to help fight the menace of underage drinking” I said with a straight face while handing her my license. She typed my birth date into the computerized register before returning my license to me.


“ Wow that’s how old you are? Sorry what I meant is that you don’t seem that old. Still sounds wrong though. Never mind, forget everything I’ve said. Sorry.” The girl seemed embarrassed by her comments.


“Well Kelly is it, if my old eyes haven’t failed me in reading your nametag, you’re complimenting me and saying I’m not that old, or at least I don’t look old.”


“No I just thought you were a lot younger is all, closer to my age.”


For some reason her pale face reddened and she looked away from me. After putting a sold sticker on the case of beer she sent it down the belt then continued ringing up my order. As I packed my groceries I couldn’t help but stare at her. She was a cute young thing with short, spiky blonde hair that was so bleached it was almost white. Both her roots and eyebrows were black and on her it looked very attractive. Kelly wasn’t a thin girl by any means. Like much of modern American society she was thick, but in her case in all the right places.


She definitely had a hourglass figure with a big, round ass and thick thighs encased in a pair of black tights with a short denim skirt worn over it. A store uniform top was over her own shirt but I could see that she had a nice rack hidden under her clothes. Her arms did have an extra layer of fat over her muscles but there was no jiggling and as she handled the groceries I saw she had a cute set of biceps. Like many of the kids of today her ears had multiple piercings as well as her nose had a stud nose ring. I found the effect enchanting but I figured she was too young for me, as I was thirty three.


As she worked her phone sitting on her counter rang. Kelly picked it up and looked at the screen before putting it back down. She had just about finished my order when it rang again. This time she picked it up and put it to her ear and answered it.


“What is it? You know I’m at work and I can’t talk. Yes but that’s during my break. Fine hurry up Mother. No problem Mother.”

She had run all my items through the scanner and was standing there with a helpless look on her face as she continued to listen to the phone. Kelly held up her finger to me telling me one minute and I smiled and nodded at her. Finally she collected her breath and spoke in a low tone.


“Listen I have to go now, I’m dealing with a customer and I’ll get in trouble. Don’t worry I’ll be home in time. Goodbye Mother.”


She put down the phone and turned toward me with an apologetic half smile.


“I’m so sorry. Thanks for not getting mad at me, some people would have lost it. The total comes to $112.56.”


“Don’t worry about it. I’m not in a rush.”


“I try to tell her that they don’t appreciate me taking calls but she never gets it. Thanks again, if you made a scene then I’d get written up.”


“Like I said I’m not in a rush, just a couple of errands to run today” I told her as I handed her the money “besides I enjoyed the view while waiting.”


There could be no doubt what I meant and Kelly turned red as she took the money and I heard her mumble something. She handed me my change without looking at me and I wondered if I had offended her.


“Thank you for shopping with us and you saved $8.70 today.” She then looked at me in the eye and gave me a sweet smile. “And thanks for everything from me as well.”


“Have a good day Kelly and hang in there.”


“Thanks I will.”


Pushing my cart to the exit I resolved that the next time I shopped here I would certainly see if she was there to ring me up. Soon I had loaded the groceries in the back of the extended cab and was headed to the location of my next errand. The masonry supply store was busier than I’d expected and by the time my bed was loaded with bags of gravel and some concrete mix the skies looked like they would open up. As I drove I was glad that the last stop I had to make was done. Halfway home the rain started although it wasn’t hard as of yet.


Driving down a highway service road I noticed a car on the other side of the road with its hazards flashing and a totally blown front passenger side tire. There was a figure pacing by the side of the vehicle with a hand to her ear. As my truck passed by I did a double take. The person with the flat was the young cashier Kelly. After checking in my side view mirror I pulled a quick u-turn and pulled up behind the disabled vehicle and turned on my hazards before alighting from my pick-up. When I approached she looked up at me and her face showed surprise at seeing me there.


“Hold on one minute Mother” she said into the phone.


“What happened to you and are you alright?” I asked concerned.


“I don’t know, some animal ran in the street and when I swerved and hit the brakes I skidded into the curb because of the rain and damaged the tire.”


“What about you, are you okay?”


“I’m fine thanks. It’s just the tire is destroyed and I have to get the car to my Mom soon. She needs it to get to work and I don’t know what to do.”


As she talked she seemed to get more and more upset and looked like she was about to cry. I put a hand on her shoulder and her big brown eyes met my gaze.


“Two things Kelly, do you have a spare tire? And is there any chance you have roadside assistance?”


She shook her head no. “I don’t have roadside assistance, I can’t afford it. I’m not sure if I have a spare either.”


“That’s okay we’ll check, can you pop the trunk?”


When she did I opened it and rummaged thru the junk she had back there. Her spare tire was in a little compartment in the bottom of the trunk so I removed it and checked it out and it seemed okay. Kelly joined me at the back of the car still looking worried and holding the phone in her hand.


“You have a spare so I can change it for you no problem. I’m just going to use my jack and lugwrench. Yours is a little flimsy.”


“Oh my God really, you’ll change it for me. Thank you, if I had to do it I think I’d be stranded here forever.”


“Well don’t worry, I’ll have you up and running in no time. The rain is starting to pick up so if you want you can wait in my truck where it’s dry.”


She followed me to my truck as she talked on her phone.


“Good news, someone is going to change the tire for me. No, it’s someone from work who happened to be passing by. Hopefully I’ll be there in time but I can’t control that.”


Kelly got in the passenger door as I removed my lugwrench and jack then removed my shirt leaving me in a wife beater. Between the rain and the grease there was no sense in ruining my shirt I figured. Her voice faded as I headed to her car. After loosening the lugnuts I jacked her little rice burner up and proceeded to replace the tire with her spare. It didn’t take too long but the rain had really come down hard while I was doing it and I was soaked. Her flat was in such bad shape with a huge gash that it couldn’t be repaired so I decided to throw it in my truck bed so I could dispose of it for Kelly. It was while putting it there that I got careless and skinned my knuckle bad making me laugh. Last and easiest part and that’s when I messed up.
When I opened the door Kelly saw the blood on my hand and gasped.


“What happened to you?”


“Just a small scrape, it’s nothing” I said while opening the glove compartment and removing hand wipes and a small first aid kit. She took the first aid kit from me and opened it.


“Give me your hand” she said in a no nonsense tone. The antiseptic wipe stung a little while Kelly cleaned it. She then applied some ointment and finished up by putting a bandage over the broken skin.

“There all done” Kelly said inspecting her handiwork critically.


“Good work Kelly, a bit of overkill maybe” I said at which she delivered a withering glance my way.


“Sorry, sorry” I apologized while throwing my hands up in mock surrender. “One day you’ll make a great mom.”


“Thanks but why do you say that, wait what is your name? I know I saw your I.D. but I didn’t notice.”


“My name’s Kevin. You took care of my boo boo and kept me in line just with a look, two big qualifications to be a mother.”


“Yeah but what about being a nag, I’m not one of those.”


I cocked an eyebrow. “Are you talking about your Mom?”


“She can be such a pain in the ass. I love her but sometimes she makes me want to scream. That reminds me what’s the time? I have to get her the car so she can go to work.”


“Time is three forty five. You guys share a car, that is rough.”


“Well her car died a bit back so she’s been borrowing mine. Either that or I’d have to drive her to and from work all the time. Damn that means I have to hurry home. I wanted to reward you for all you’ve done for me.”


“Helping you and seeing your smile was enough of a reward for me Kelly.”


She rolled her eyes at that. “Okay if you say so. But truthfully what would you go for now if you could?”


“I could go for a beer after the fun I’ve been having. You can buy me one if you like.”


“Two problems, I’m not 21 and I have to get the car home now.”


“You can get the car home and buy me a beer in a bar near where you live. You don’t have to be 21 to pay.”


“Okay Kevin follow my car and I’ll see what I can do.”


Kelly got out of my truck and ran to her car while I started the truck. We drove for around twenty minutes when she pulled into the driveway of an attached townhouse in an all right section of town. Before going to the house she came up to my window.


“If you drive two blocks and make a right there is a sports bar another block down.”


“You’re not coming with me Kelly? Where is the fun in that?”


“Want some fun, is that it? I’m going to meet you there but I didn’t want my Mother to see you is all.”


“Without a car you’ll get soaked. If you want I’ll pass by in a little while and get you.”


“Sounds like a plan. Come by in ten minutes. She’s late already so she can’t wait around.”


Kelly started to the house then changed her mind and returned whereupon she leaned in my window and gave me a quick kiss on my cheek before running to her house. Feeling on top of the world I pulled away from the curb and drove to the bar to check it out. It seemed to be a standard strip mall bar but it did have a front courtyard with tables under umbrellas that was fenced off from the parking lot. That looked promising to me as the rain had almost stopped now and I could see streaks of azure skies through the dark clouds.


Ten minutes later I drove up to Kelly’s house and her car was gone. I parked in front and rang the bell. After a couple of minutes the door opened and she stood there in front of me.
