The Paperboy_(1)

Hi, I’m back with another story about my experiences. You might have read my first story about my dog Rocky. This story will be a lot different and it happened about 3 years later. Remember I said I had an affair, sort of, with another woman, Lacy? I’m not quite ready to tell Lacy’s story yet, but she is a minor character in this story. Maybe I’ll write about Lacy some other time. In fact, maybe the readers can give me some feedback as to whether they even want to hear it.
Okay, let me set the scene. I’m out of college and living on my own in a medium sized town. I teach journalism at the local high school. That’s what I said, I teach! This story will be about a young boy, Sammy, that I helped through the difficult stages of puberty. I got to know Sammy, or Sam as he preferred, because he had been my paperboy for about a year. This story starts when Sam was 11 years old.
It was a crisp Saturday morning in late September and I had just got up and was on my first cup of coffee. I heard a small rap on my front door, as I peaked through the window, I saw Sammy standing there waiting to collect the paper bill. Sammy was a shy kid, cute and I liked him. I opened the door and said you must want some money. He nodded and I motioned for him to come in. I was dressed in gym shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt. I did feel Sammy was looking where maybe he shouldn’t. Sit down Sammy and let me find my purse, I told him. When I returned, I ask if something was wrong. He just looked so sad. Nah, not really was his answer. Come on Sammy, we’re buds, you can tell me. It’s just the other kids tease me about being …. little. That’s no big deal, you’ll grow. Sammy looked down and said, not little like tall, just little. You know as he looked down. Ohhhhh, I said I get it. Sammy had turned a little red by this time. Look Sammy, that grows too. Just wait and you’ll see. To tell the truth, I don’t know who was more embarrassed, me or Sammy. I was also somewhat aroused.
I’m going to tell you a story that might make you feel better. When I was your age, kids teased me about my big boobs. Sammy cocked his head and said, you don’t have big boobs.
