Carly looks at the books in her new office. She couldn’t believe that for the past five months all the business ventures she had invested in has started paying off. The detailed business brought in business every other day. The food truck was making a profit, and the vehicles she fixed and sold brought in a decent profit as well.

The extra stuff she had and sold at the thrift store that Sammy opened up was doing well. People found out that she and Sammy were into the thrift business and we're bringing things they didn’t want anymore. Some of it had to be cleaned and repaired, but it sold for a decent profit.

She had a birthday party she had to go to tonight with Sammy. One of their mutual friends was turning twenty-five years old. She wasn’t too far behind them in age. She was twenty-three years old and have been living on her own since she was a teenager.

She leans back in her office chair and watches as the girls outside do the detailing work, work. It was getting cooler, but they didn’t mind wearing skimpy outfits to draw customers in. She didn’t ask them to do that, it was their idea. She let Jennifer handle the detailed business.
Since she was their boss.

The car wash Jennifer and her crew had worked for, she looked into buying it. The owner who owned it when Jennifer worked there. He sold it to another person who turned it into one of those self-serve car washes. He redid the whole look of the place.

She watches her office manager Elisa answer the phone. She has gone from working part-time to full-time. All the girls on the detail crew liked her and sometimes when the girls got extremely busy. Elisa would change her clothes and go out and help them out.

While Carly is sitting in her office. Her cellphone starts ringing. She picks it up and looks at the number and notices it was Sammy calling her.
She presses accept “hello?”

“Hey, Carly. What are you doing for the next few hours?” Sammy got a lead on an estate sale and wanted to check it out.

“Nothing, why?”

“I got a lead on an estate sale going on in a few hours. If you're not doing anything, and have some cash on you. We can go and check it out.”

“Sounds good, but remember, Kelli’s birthday party is this evening at seven.” Carly wonders should she take the gift with her.

“We’ll be back by then. I’m on my way to your new office. Meet me outside.” Sammy wasn’t too far from Carly’s new office.

“Okay. Let me tell Elisa I’m stepping out and won’t be available for a while.” Carly knew when she and Sammy went picking, they get carried away with it.

“Alright, see you in ten minutes.” Sammy ends the call.

Carly checks how much cash she has on hand. She had close to three thousand dollars she could take with her. She had her bank card with her if she needs to withdraw more cash from an ATM. She gets up and walks into the main room that was the main office and looks at Elisa.

“I’m going out for a few hours with Sammy. I won’t be available to answer my cellphone.”

“That’s fine. I’ll check with Jennifer before I do anything important.” Elisa smiles at Carly.

“Sounds like a plan.” Carly didn’t mind Jennifer acting as her assistant manager. She has already proven she is a capable woman.

Carly steps back into her office and grabs her purse. Just as she steps outside her office, Sammy pulls up. She walks over to his van and gets in. Before she can fasten her seatbelt, he starts moving.

“You’re in a hurry.” As Carly looks at Sammy.

“I don’t want to miss the start of the estate sale.” Sammy was speeding more than he normally did.

“So, why is this estate sale so special?” Carly was curious.

“It’s the Larson’s estate sale. They collected all sorts of strange and unusual items.”

“Okay, I still don’t understand.” Carly looked confused.

“According to some rumors, some of the items can bring you good luck and some items might be a curse.” Sammy has heard a lot of things about the Larson’s.

“And you want to buy these items?” Carly looks at Sammy with a skeptical look on her face.

“You know, I don’t believe in things like that. I just want to say I own some of those items.” Sammy looks at Carly when he says that.

“I knew you were weird, but now you have just proven it.” Carly sits back in her seat.

“And you still hang around with me.” A smirk appears on Sammy’s face.

After forty minutes of driving, Sammy turns off the street onto a private driveway that snaked its way up to a huge mansion. The mansion itself looked old and from the Victoria age.

“Man, I wish had that type of money.” Carly loved old mansions and such.

“You would go in debt to maintain something like that.” Sammy parks his van next to a U-Haul storage truck.

“Still, look at the architect of the building itself. You don’t see houses like that anymore.” Carly loved how the mansion itself looked.

Sammy and Carly walk inside the place and are given a pamphlet of special items that were for sale. Carly spotted a unique necklace and brooch she liked that was for sale. She finds the person handling the estate sale and submits a bid for them.

The person handling the sale was an older man. He already had two other bids but took her bids as well. He said he would inform her within the hour if she won the bid. She continues to look around and finds several items that must have been owned by the woman of the house. She buys almost everything. There was a lot she wanted, but she had to hold some money back for the brooch and necklace.

Carly knew if she needed money, Sammy would spot her some. They were close to each other. The only thing setting them apart was the useless piece of flesh between her legs.

She watches as Sammy buys some unique items to display at his shop and the thrift store. By the end of the hour, she is informed she won the necklace, but not the brooch. She looks at the necklace and it had a unique figurine carved from a crystal in the middle of it. She loved the necklace and didn’t care what it was.

A mysterious man dressed in a black suit walks over to her. He had his eyes on the necklace she was holding.

“Hello, ma’am. I see you bought the neckline for sale.” Carlos was eyeing that necklace and wanted to posse it. He knew the secrets it held.

“Yes, I did. It’s such a lovely necklace and so unique.” Carly holds the necklace up to look at the centerpiece of it.

“You wouldn’t be thinking about selling it, would you?” Carlos kept watching the necklace as it hung between him and Carly.

“Normally, I would say yes, but there is something unique about this necklace that I would like to keep and figure out.” Carly was fascinated with it.

“I would be willing to pay you twice what you paid for it.” Carlos wanted that necklace.

“Nope, I’m sorry, but I’m not selling it.” Carly puts the necklace around her neck.

It felt warm against her skin. She also felt a tingling sensation as well.

“That’s too bad.” Carlos figures he’ll get that necklace, one way or another.

“Carly, you have to see this, before we leave.” Sammy saw Carly talking to some strange guy.

“Okay!” She looks back at the fellow “it’s been nice talking to you, sir.”

Carlos watches as Carly turns and walks over to the guy that called her. He had to get that necklace before she discovered its secret. He continues to watch Carly for a while before they leave.

Sammy and Carly leave with their arms full of stuff they bought. They carry everything outside and put it in Sammy’s van.

“You ready to go to Kelli’s birthday party?” Sammy looks at Carly and saw her rubbing the little figurine in the middle of the necklace.

“Yes, I have Kelli’s gift in my purse.” Carly decided to bring it with her.

“What did you get her?” Sammy backs out of the parking spot and heads back to their city.

“The necklace and matching earrings she hinted at the last time we had a lady’s day out. What did you get her?” Carly looks at Sammy.

“A gift card. She is so hard to buy for plus, I didn’t know her body measurements or I would have gotten her, her favorite pair of shoes.” Sammy thought she might enjoy that.

“She’s a size six in shoes. I’m a size five in shoes.”

“Why can’t you women just wear the same size as us men?” Sammy looks at Carly for an answer.

“Beats me. I don’t know. You’ll have to ask a designer why.” Carly never thought about it.

Forty-five minutes later, they pull up in front of Kelli’s house. They could already hear the music playing and people partying inside. Sammy grabs the envelope with the birthday card inside and the gift card inside.

Carly grabs her present and heads inside with Sammy. She leaves her purse inside Sammy’s van. She follows behind him as they approach the front door. She watches as Sammy presses the doorbell and a few minutes later, it opens. Standing on the other side of the door, was a cute freckle face girl with light brown hair.

“Sammy, Carly, it's so good you guys could make it. Kelli is in the kitchen getting the appetizers with Johnathan and Sandra.”

“It's good to see you, as well Montana.” Carly hugs Montana. They were the same height and same build.

“What she said.” Sammy steps up and hugs Montana as well.

Montana shuts the front door behind them as she turns around to look at them. Sammy and Carly have been her friend for a long time.

“Brandon is playing bartender tonight and there are several coolers filled with beer and wine coolers. So, help yourself.” Montana puts her arms around Sammy and Carly.

“Sounds good. I could use a brandy right now.” Sammy loved his brandy.

“Can you grab me a piña colada, please Sammy?” Carly looks at Sammy before he walks off.

“You and your fruity drinks.” A playful smile appears on his face.

“Hey, I like long iced teas and zombies as well.”

Montana just watches as Carly and Sammy tease each other. She hopes one day the two of them will get married. They compliment each other rather well.

Outside Carly’s House:
Carlos had followed Carly and Sammy when they left the mansion. He was bound and determine to get that necklace from her before she discovered what it could do. He looks her up on his portable laptop and discovers she owned several businesses and lived not too far from where he was. An evil smile appears on his face. He calls a friend of his and has him waiting for her at her house.

After a few hours of eating and drinking, Carly starts feeling cramps and wants to throw up. Her breasts were hurting her, and she felt she felt gassy. She was starting to feel tired as well. She locates Sammy “I’m not feeling too well, Sammy.”

“Did you eat the Sushi?” Sammy knew Carly loved to try new things.

“Yes, but I don’t think it's that. It feels like my insides are moving around.” Carly had felt some movement inside her body.

“Do you want me to take you to the hospital?” Sammy puts his drink down.

“No, I’ll take an Uber home. Just come by in the morning and check on me if you don’t hear from me.”

“I can do that. I’ll bring your favorite breakfast sandwich and coffee.” Sammy noticed Carly looked a little pale.

“Can I use your cellphone, because mine is in your van?” Carly looks down at her best friend.

“Sure.” He hands Carly his cellphone.

Carly uses the Uber app on Sammy’s cellphone. She has her credit card number on his app because she has used his cellphone before while hers was being fixed. Plus, she trusted Sammy with her life. Once she is finished, she hands it back to Sammy “thanks.”

“Any time. Are you sure you're going to be okay?” Sammy was worried about Carly.

“I’ll be fine. I’m going to leave my purse in your van. I’ll get it from you tomorrow.” Carly was trying not to throw up or fart in front of her friend.

“Okay, but how are you going to get into your house?”

“The spare key is hidden in my garden.” Carly kept an emergency key to all her vehicles, office, and house.

“Okay, remember to call me tomorrow.”

“I will.” Carly turns and walks away from Sammy. As soon as she steps outside to wait for the uber. She lets out the fart she had been holding in.

She fans the air in front of her and wonders where that came from. It was so loud, that she wondered did she crap her underwear. She has never cut loose anything like that before.

Ten minutes later, the uber she ordered shows up. She gets into the car and leans back against the backseat. Her head was starting to hurt
her. She also felt like she needed to use the bathroom.

Carlos follows the uber driver as he took Carly home. He texts his friend that they were not too far and to be ready. He was careful not to follow too closely to the Uber driver.

After fifteen minutes of driving, the Uber driver pulls up in front of a ranch-style house with a one-car garage. The driver looks in the rearview mirror towards his customer “ma’am, we’re here.”

Carly opens her eyes when she hears that she was home. She looks at the driver “thank you.”

She exits the vehicle and slowly walks up to her front door. She was feeling so tired and her head was pounding. She kneels next to her garden and retrieves the spare key she keeps hidden. As she stands back up, she feels something poking her in her arm.

As tired as Carly was feeling, she doesn’t even resist. She starts falling towards the ground but is caught by a set of strong hands. She is lifted and thrown over the person's shoulder who caught her.

Tony spotted the young teenage girl as she walked from the uber car. He heard her fart a few times as she kneeled by the garden in front of her house. He had hidden beside the car she had in the driveway. It looked like someone was working on it.

When she knelt in front of the garden, he moved quickly to get behind her and stick her with the drug he brought. He retrieves the key from her and throws her unconscious body over his shoulder. He unlocks the front door and heads inside her house.

Carlos saw his friend move and got out of his car. He follows his friend Tony into the house. A smile appears on his face as he gets excited about finally getting his hands on the necklace. It would grant anything he wanted. He knew the Larsons had used it to build their fortunes.

“Lay her down on the sofa, Tony.” Carlos closes the front door behind him.

“Alright.” Tony lays the girl on the sofa.

He looks down at her and had to admit she was cute-looking. He opens her blouse and exposes her young youthful-looking breasts. They looked like they had been straining against her bra. There were marks on her skin where they had dug into her skin. He wouldn’t mind using her all night long. He might do that after Carlos got what he wanted.

Carlos walks over and looks down at Carly “I believe you have something that belongs to me, dear.”

He reaches for the necklace and as soon as his fingers touch it. He burst into flames.

“What the!” Tony tries to put the flames out on Carlos.

When Tony goes to try to put the flames out. He bursts into flames as well. He starts screaming as the flames consume him as well. By the time the flames are done consuming the two men, there are two piles of black ashes where they once stood.

The next morning when Sammy gets up. He checks his cellphone to see if Carly has called him at all. He notices there wasn’t anything from her. He gets dressed and drives over to her place with her favorite breakfast sandwich and her favorite coffee.

He parks in front of her house. He notices she is working on the black Trans Am she bought from a junkyard. She loved restoring old muscle cars. He presses the doorbell and waits for an answer from Carly. When he doesn’t get a response, he tries the doorbell again and waits. He tries to look through the window to see if she was in the living room, but couldn’t see anything, thanks to the blinds and curtain.

Sammy digs into Carly’s purse and finds her keyring. He noticed she still keeps them clipped to a D-ring in her purse. He goes through her keys and finds her door key and unlocks the door.

“Carly! Are you up?” Sammy walks into the house and closes the door behind him.

Sammy spots Carly sitting on her sofa with her blouse opened and her bra underneath her breasts. He walks over to her and couldn’t believe how perky her breasts were and how big they looked. He knew Carly didn’t have big breasts and that she could get away with wearing no bra.
However, there was no way she could hide what he was seeing. She would have grown some. He also notices two black piles of ashes spaced evenly apart and in front of Carly’s sofa and her.

“What happened here last night?” Sammy looks at Carly and wonders why she looked so relaxed.

He reaches to shake her on her shoulder and when his hand touched her shoulder. He felt an overwhelming urge of lust and passion consume him. He scoops Carly up off the sofa and starts kissing Carly.

Carly wakes up when she feels her lips being pressed. She returns the passionate kiss as she is carried towards her bedroom. The lust and passion that consumed Sammy flowed into her and she was feeling horny as hell.

She starts undoing Sammy’s belt and pants as he carried her into her bedroom. She felt laid down onto the top of the bed and her blouse removed. Her bra was next as she pulled Sammy’s pants down along with his underwear. A smile appears on her face, as her hand is wrapped around Sammy’s penis. She gives it a little squeeze.

Sammy felt Carly grip his penis, as he removed her pants and panties. He continues to kiss her, shoving his tongue deep into her mouth. He squeezes one of her breasts and felt her shiver from doing that.

He wastes no time as he pushes her back onto the bed and spread her legs wide open. He looks into her eyes as he positions himself between her legs and teases her vagina lips with his penis. He hears her moan with delight as he positions himself at her opening and shoves himself deep into her body. He feels her hands grip his back as her fingernails dig into his skin.

The hours that followed the two of them acted like animals in heat. Nothing but lust and passion consumed them. Sometimes Sammy was in charge, other times Carly was in charge of their lovemaking. They traded positions so many times, that they didn’t care.

They would wear each other out and end up being held by each other as they slept. Sometimes they would get up and rush to the bathroom, but they would go back to bed and wake each other up to continue what they started.

All day and all-night Sammy and Carly end up making love and being held in each other’s arms. By morning time, the next morning. Sammy wakes up with Carly in his arms and very sore. He kisses her neck and leans in towards her ear “morning, sweetie.”

“Mmmm!” As Carly starts putting little butterfly kisses on Sammy’s arm.

She has always wanted to wake up being held by him. God knows they have shared enough hotel rooms. She loved feeling his strong arms holding her and his stiff penis resting between her butt cheeks.

“How are you feeling?” Sammy kisses Carly’s neck again.

“Like I have died and gone to heaven.” Carly was enjoying having Sammy hold her.

“Why didn’t you tell me you had your surgery already? I would have come over and helped take care of you while you recovered.” Sammy knew Carly normally told him almost everything.

Carly opens her eyes wide when he mentioned that she had her surgery. She reaches between her legs and felt her very sore vagina.

“I never had my surgery.” Carly was surprised that she had a real vagina.

“Are you sure? Because I know last night, I made love to you like a real girl and licked you as well.” He reaches down the front of Carly’s body and fell between her legs. He felt the front of her vagina opening. He sticks two fingers into the opening and feels Carly squirm.

“God! That feels so good and hurt at the same time.” Carly felt very sore from all the lovemaking they did.

“Well, it feels real, and if you didn’t have the surgery. What happened?” He pulls his fingers out and up to Carly’s lips.

Carly opens her mouth and covers Sammy’s fingers and sucks on them. She could taste the vaginal fluid still cling to them. After she finishes sucking “I don’t know. I can’t recall how I got home last night.”

Carly sits up in bed and looks at Sammy. She notices her chest felt different as she looked at him.

“What do you mean, you can’t remember how you got home the other night?” Sammy sits up in bed as well. He notices she was still wearing the necklace she bought at the estate sale.

He also noticed her breasts had filled out more and were a little bigger. He noticed that her nipples were stiffer.

“I mean, I can’t remember what happened the other night. I know I wasn’t feeling well and felt bloated and very gassy. My head was hurting me, and my abdomen wasn’t feeling well.” Carly didn’t know why she had cramps.

“You used my cellphone and called Uber to take you home. You left your purse in my van. You told me that if I didn’t hear from you. I should come over and check on you. When I walked in, I noticed you had your blouse open and your bra below your breasts. You were sitting on your sofa sound asleep with two blacken piles of ashes evenly spaced apart in front of you on the carpet. After that, it was like something came over me and when I kissed you. You woke up and started kissing me back.” Sammy looks at Carly to see if she remembered kissing him.

“I remember kissing you and wanting you to fuck me as I have never been fucked before. After that, everything is a haze, and I don’t mean in a bad way either. I enjoyed everything we did and want to do it again, but I am feeling so sore right now. It wouldn’t be enjoyable. I just wish I could remember why I have a woman’s bottom and why my tits have gotten bigger?”

Carly runs her hands over her breasts and felt how sensitive they were. She closes her eyes and enjoys feeling them under her fingertips.

“Well, you look like you are enjoying them.” Sammy plays with one of Carly’s nipples and gets a moan from her.

Carly opens her eyes and looks into Sammy’s eyes “god, I want you to fuck me right now, but I don’t want to feel the pain.”

“Why don’t I give you a break? My penis is feeling extremely sore as well.” Sammy knew his penis was stiff as a brick right now, from just looking at Carly.

“Sounds like a plan. Let’s go and take a shower. Afterward, we can go and get some food.” Carly starts getting out of bed, very slowly.

She walks very slowly to the bathroom. Her vaginal area was very sore from all the sex they had. Once in the bathroom, she sets the water temperature and waits for Sammy to join her. She absently minded rubs the little figurine in the middle of her new necklace.

Sammy walks slowly to the bathroom as well. He still had a stiff penis and was ready to pee as well.

“Let me take a piss before I join you.” He walks over to the toilet.

“You can just piss in the shower. It won’t be the first time that someone has done it.” Carly knew she peed in the shower a few times when she was taking a shower.

“Alright.” Sammy gets in the shower and no sooner after he shuts the shower door, he starts peeing. He accidentally hit the lower part of Carly when he does.

Carly shakes her head as she looks at Sammy “having a hard time controlling that firehose of yours?”

“Yes, it's very hard right now.” Sammy continues to pee. When he first started, it burned, but as he continued, the pain subsided.

A smirk appears on Carly’s face as she starts lathering up. She reaches between her legs and winces when she rubs against her vaginal lips.
She tries to be more careful, as she scrubs away the dry semen that was covering her groin and that had dried on the inner parts of her leg and ass.

When she was done washing between her legs. She starts washing Sammy’s body. She kisses him a few times as the water cascaded down their body. Every time Sammy touched her tits, she wanted to just let him fuck her right there in the shower.

They finally finish showering and step out of the bathroom to get dressed. When Carly goes to put her panties on. She notices they were a little tight on her, especially around the hips. Even her bra was tight as she put it on. It caused her breasts to be lifted more than normal and was digging into her skin.

“What happened to me?” She looks at her body in the mirror mounted on the back of her closet door.

She noticed her hips were more pronounced and her waist had gotten smaller. Even her breasts were bigger.

“I don’t know, but you look nice to me.” Sammy saw Carly looking at her body.

“I’ve never looked like this before.” Carly grabs a simple dress sleeveless dress that came down over her new hips.

She straightens it as stops midway down her thighs. She fishes out the heels that went with the dress and slips them on. She brushes out her hair and notices it was thicker than normal. She puts on minimal make-up and turns to look at Sammy.

“So, how do I look?” Carly strikes a pose.

“Like your ready to go to a high-end restaurant.” Sammy couldn’t believe how sexy Carly looked.

“I could change.” Carly had meant to look casual.

“You’re fine. Let’s go and get something to eat.” Sammy leads the way to the living room. He stops and points out the spots.

“I don’t know what those are, but let me get the vacuum cleaner real quick and vacuum those ash piles up.

Carly heads to the hall closet and pulls the vacuum cleaner out and plugs it in. She turns it on and starts vacuuming the ashes up. She has to stop when the vacuum cleaner gets clogged from two sets of car keys getting stuck inside the rollers.

“I wonder what these go to?” Carly holds the keys up and looks at them. Nothing comes to mind as she puts them in a crystal bowl by the door.

“It looks like you’ll need to replace the carpet over here, Carly.” Sammy looks at the spots and saw how badly burned the spots were.

“I think your right. I’ll call my carpet guy tomorrow and have it replaced. Where did you put my purse?”

“Over here.” Sammy picks up Carly’s purse from a desk chair he had set it in.

Carly and Sammy walk out of the house and lock it up. Since Sammy came in his van to check on Carly. They take it to a nice restaurant downtown. Every once in a while, Carly winces from her panties rubbing against her sore vulva lips.

Sammy notices the look on Carly’s face. He looks at her with a smirk on his face.

“Is everything okay?”

“Yes, my panties are rubbing against my very sore vaginal opening.”

“Maybe we can stop and get you some cream to treat it.” He had a big smile on his face.

“Funny. I think it might be better if I went commando.” As they walk into one of their many favorite restaurants.

They spend two hours in the restaurant. Afterward, they walk down the street doing some window shopping. Carly stops at a store that sold baby items.

“Let’s go in.” Carly wanted to explore the store.

Sammy looks at the store and back at Carly. She was never into the bay stuff when they went picking.

“Alright.” He follows her inside the store.

Carly looks at all the different baby stuff. She was making a mental list of what she would buy to decorate a baby’s room, should she ever have children. She stops once in a while to hold up an outfit or stuffed animal to get Sammy’s option.

At first, he resisted, but when he saw how excited Carly was getting. He came around and started taking more of an interest in the place. They spend a lot of time in the store. They leave that store and head down to a lingerie store.

Carly has her breasts measured and found out she had gone up a full cup size to a C cup and that her breasts were 38 and the rest of her measurement was 26-inch waist and 38-inch hips.

“God, how did I change this much?” Carly looks at Sammy for an answer.

“I don’t know, but I have to say. You look sexy as hell with some of those outfits on.” Sammy loved some of the lingerie Carly tried on and showed off to him.

Carly blushes as she goes and gets dressed. She does leave on a lace bodysuit under her dress to wear. She also buys a collection of new panties and bras to replace her old ones.

They go by the van and drop her purchases in it. Once they are done doing that. They walk around downtown exploring and wasting the day away. They have dinner at a Thai restaurant that just recently opened in town.

After dinner, Sammy takes Carly by her shop to pick up her truck. He kisses her before he leaves. He didn’t want to, but he thinks he had to do it tomorrow.

Carly watches as Sammy drives away. She wishes she could remember what happened and what caused those black spots on her carpet. She gets in her truck and notices she needed to stop and get gas. A smile appears on her face as thinks back to a few days ago when she was feeling gassy and letting out some smelly farts. If she could harness those, she wouldn’t need to spend money on gas. The price of gas was up to four and a half dollars per gallon now.

She pays for the gas at the pumps and decides to head inside to buy a soda and a lottery ticket. Before she leaves, she rubs the covering off the scratch-off she bought. She looks at the amount she just won and couldn’t believe it. It was for a hundred thousand dollars.

Carly puts the ticket into her pocket because she would need to go to the regional office to claim it. She gets in her truck and calls Sammy. She was so excited about it.

Sammy was at home finishing up a job when his cellphone rings. He looks at the caller id and notices it was Carly. He presses accept “what’s up, Carly?”

“You won’t believe how much I just won on a scratch-off?” Carly was trying to remain calm.

“How much?” Sammy could hear the excitement in Carly’s voice.

“One hundred thousand dollars.” She nearly screamed the amount through the cellphone.

“No way. Are you sure it's that high?” Sammy stops what he was doing.

“Yes, I’m sure. What are you doing tomorrow?” Carly knew she had to redeem the ticket at the regional office.

“Nothing I can’t rearrange to come with you.” Sammy knew Carly didn’t like carrying a lot of money.

“Meet me at my house tomorrow around nine o’clock.”

“Deal. I’ll see you then.” A smile appears on Sammy’s face.

“Okay, and Sammy. I love you.”

“I love you too, Carly.” Sammy felt a warm feeling overcome him as he says those words.

Carly ends the call and heads home. She was so excited that she won. She never wins anything like that. Sure, she does good at bidding on things, but never anything like that.

She parks in front of her house and walks inside. She changes out of her clothes but just walks around in her heels and the lacey bodysuit she bought. She loved how she looked in it.

She tries cleaning the burnt spots with some chemicals she has on hand but is unsuccessful. She calls her carpet guy and schedules him to come by to fix the spots sometimes during the week. She gathers up all her old bras and panties, slips, and whatever else she had that wouldn’t fit her anymore and washed them. She’ll donate them at goodwill tomorrow.

She steps outside with a robe on to see what cars the keys she had belonged to and finds them. She doesn’t recognize the cars, but she does write the license plates down and will run them

The rest of the night, she watches a movie and falls asleep on the sofa. She’s woken up by Sammy the next day, knocking on the front door. She gets up and opens the door still dressed in the lacey bodysuit and heels.

“Damn! You look good.” As Sammy walks into the house.

“We have some time before we need to leave. How about a quicky?” As Carly warps her arms around Sammy’s neck and kisses him.

Sammy returns the kiss. He scoops Carly up and carries her to her bed. They make love to each other quickly, before Carly has to change. She just slips on a pair of dress slacks and a nice blouse and a pair of nice heels. She fixes her hair and make-up.

Carly and Sammy left to redeem the scratch-off ticket. The money is transferred to her account. She gets some gift cards for the girls and the chef running the food truck. She also gets some for Elisa as well. All of them had five hundred dollars on them. She wanted to share the money with the people who have been helping her out a lot with the businesses.

She found out the cars had stolen plates. So, she reported them to the police. She let the police take the plates, while she took the cars.

She gives Sammy a very special gift, as they head back to his place for some intense sex. She spends the rest of the day at his place. Later she goes home.

The following weeks Carly spends her time either at Sammy’s place after work or at her house doing nothing but having sex. It was like the two of them couldn’t get enough of each other. By the end of the month, she starts noticing things about her body. At first, she thought it was her imagination, but she has been feeling weird.

The areola on her breasts had become darker. Her breasts have felt tender and swollen. She has been going to the bathroom more often. She has also noticed that she has started feeling more tired than normal. She figured that was caused by all the late-night sex she has been having with Sammy.

Carly makes an appointment with her doctor. She goes in for a checkup. She watches Dr. Brown as she checks between Carly’s legs.

“When did you have your operation?” Dr. Brown looks back up at Carly.

“I never did. I went to sleep one night and the next thing I know, I have a fully functional vagina and my breasts have gotten bigger.” Carly watches Dr. Brown’s reaction.

“Oh, come on and stop kidding, Carly. I’ve known you for a long time.”

“I’m telling you the truth, Dr. Brown. I haven’t had any surgery and how do you explain these increases in size or my hips becoming wider.” Carly points towards her breasts.

Dr. Brown looks at Carly and had to admit what she said made sense. She knew how small and slender Carly was. Now, Carly had a nice hourglass body.

“Well, whatever did this to you, I would like to bottle it and sell it. I do have some good news for you if you’re ready.” Dr. Brown wonders how Carly was going to react.

“Give it to me, Dr. Brown.” Carly watches Dr. Brown.

“Well, just from my preliminary exam of you. I would have to conclude that you are pregnant.” A smile appears on Dr. Brown’s face.

“You’re joking, right?” Carly couldn’t believe she was pregnant.

“Nope, I have to conclude that you are going to be a mother. How that is possible, I don’t know. I want you to pee in this cup and afterward my nurse is going to draw some blood and check it for hCG.”

“What’s hCG?” Carly looked confused.

“It’s the pregnancy hormone your body will have if you are. I can have your results back by this evening.” Dr. Brown hands the cup to Carly to pee in.

“Thanks, Dr. Brown.” Carly goes to the bathroom and pee inside the cup. She seals it and washes her hands.

When she exits the bathroom, Dr. Brown’s nurse is waiting for her to draw blood. She does what the nurse says, after giving her the cup. By the time she leaves, Carly wonders how Sammy will feel being a father.

Carly stops by the grocery store on her way home and grabs the ingredients she needs to make Sammy’s favorite dinner. She grabs items to make a small oven. She was planning to put a small bun inside it to surprise him.

Later in the afternoon, Dr. Brown has confirmed she was going to be a mother. She puts on one of her sexy lingerie and heels as she sets the table. She puts the small oven on a plate and covers it up.

Sammy had gotten a voice mail from Carly to come by her place tonight. A smile appears on his face as he drives over there. He has been enjoying the sex between the two of them a lot.

He pulls into the driveway and parks. He heads inside the house and notices the aroma in the air. He follows it to the dining room and spots his favorite dish fixed for him. There was another object covered up in front of his plate.

He spots Carly standing in high heels and wearing one of her favorite lingerie, that he knew turned him on. He smiles as he walks over and kisses her.

“You look beautiful tonight. What’s the special occasion?”

“You’ll see.” As she turns and sexually walks away from him.

“I might want to skip dinner and go directly to the desert.” He loved how Carly was walking.

“Oh, I think you’ll want dinner first.” Carly sits down in her chair and picks up her silverware.

Sammy sits down and picks up his silverware. He starts eating the beautiful meal Carly made for them. His mind goes back to the cover object sitting in front of his dish.

“What is this?” Sammy was curious because he had one, but Carly didn’t.

“Lift the cloth and find out.” Carly watches Sammy with a gleam in her eyes.

Sammy lifts the cloth and discovers a white cardboard oven with a small loaf of bread in it. He looks up and over towards Carly “does this mean what I think it does?”

“Yep, it sure does, daddy.” Carly had a huge smile on her face.

“WOW! Are you sure?” Sammy watches Carly.

“Yes, I’m one hundred percent sure. I got the results back this afternoon. We are going to be parents.” Carly was happy.

“Wow!” Sammy was feeling so happy.

He gets up and walks around to Carly and kisses her. He scoops her up and carries her to the living room and starts making love to her until they fall asleep.

“I can’t believe you talked me into going to a storage unit sale.” Carly looks at her best friend Sammy.

“I thought we could try something different. I checked on some of the government auctions we like going too and there’s nothing you or me would be interested in.” Sammy knew what Carly liked buying.

“True, we could take some of the items to the local swap meet and sell what we don’t want.” Carly liked flea markets. She has bought most of the tools and tool chests she owns at flea markets.

The first storage lockers that were opened, didn’t have anything she or Sammy was interested in. They stood back and watched some of the people bid on the locker. It ended up going for two hundred dollars.

“That’s not bad. I could spend two hundred and make more later.”

“That reminds me. Did you finally sell everything you bought last time?” Sammy knew Carly dipped into her SRS savings.

“I managed to sell everything and recoup the money I spent and add to it.” Carly was happy she made a decent profit from selling everything.
She also loved her new dune buggy as well.

“How many lockers are there for sale?” Carly follows the crowd as they move to the next lockers.

“Ten lockers. Some are small and some are big.” Sammy did his research before coming to the auction.

The next locker wasn’t much and only had a few bidders on them. It went for a hundred and fifty dollars. Everything inside the locker looked to be covered in dust.

The third storage unit they come to had a lot of tools, automotive equipment, and a few other things that Carly could stock her garage with. When the auctioneer starts the bidding, she bids a hundred, and several others jump in. There was one guy Carly knew was purposefully driving the bid up.

If she didn’t want the unit so much, she would drop the unit on him, but she wanted it. To shut him up, she bids a thousand dollars.

“Are you sure about that, Carly?” Sammy looks at Carly.

“Yes, even if I don’t keep most of the items, I can recover my money.” Carly looks at Sammy.

“Okay, it's your money.” Sammy just smirks.

Carly manages to buy the locker for one thousand and two hundred dollars. She puts the lock she and Sammy brought with them. The next storage unit was nothing but household items.

Sammy ends up buying two lockers that had a bunch of tools and lawn equipment. One locker had a fairly new zero-turning lawnmower that Sammy liked. He ends up paying thousands of dollars for the unit.

The last two lockers, Carly ends up buying. One had two ATVs that she’ll need to get the titles for. It also had two nice-looking dirt bikes as well. The second locker had complete detailing equipment, including a trailer that you could hook up behind your car. It also had a bunch of bicycles and cleaning chemicals that went with the detailing equipment.

Carly ends up spending six thousand dollars on the two lockers. She inspects the portable detailing equipment for damage and such.

“Well, you can go into the detailing business now.” Sammy looks at the equipment.

“I was already doing some detailing jobs. I like that it comes with its portable generator.” Carly checks it and it was a Honda portable generator with only a few hours on it.

“Well, let's go ahead and get everything loaded into my van and go get some lunch.” Sammy had skipped breakfast and was feeling hungry.

“Sounds good to me.” Carly follows Sammy after closing the storage unit.

They get Sammy’s van and her small pick-up truck. She didn’t ride with Sammy like she normally did. It was also good he brought his trailer as well. They pull up to his units first and load his van and trailer.

Once his units were loaded, they move to her units. They filled his van up with everything and load the back of her truck up as well.

“I can’t believe we got everything loaded.” Carly stood near her truck and looked at everything.

“I’m surprised as well. What are you going to do with the dirt bikes and ATVs?”

“If they work, I’m going to sell them. I’ll talk to Georgia down at DMV and see if she can get me replacement titles for everything.”

“Cool. So, where do you want to meet for lunch?” Sammy was in the mood for a good sub.

“How about Stokey’s?” Carly knew what Sammy liked.

“Sounds good to me.” Sammy gets into his van and starts it up.

Carly gets into her truck and starts it up. She follows Sammy out of the storage area and towards Stokey’s restaurant. They park in the back parking lot because both their vehicles had trailers attached to them.

Before she and Sammy go inside the restaurant, she double checks her trailer to make sure everything is secured. She noticed Sammy was doing the same thing. She walks over to Sammy “come on, let’s go and get some lunch.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Sammy follows behind Carly as she walks towards the restaurant.

They head into the restaurant and are escorted to a booth so they could see their vehicles. Sammy gets his usual drink, which was coca-cola.
Carly gets sweet iced tea. As Carly and Sammy are waiting for their waitress to come back to their table.

“So, how is the landscaping business?” Carly knew Sammy did landscaping when he wasn’t going to auctions.

“I’ve had to hire four new people and buy another truck. I just picked up six new contracts.” Sammy was happy when he got the new contracts.

“Oh? Who did you just pick up?” Carly was curious.

“Chester bank, C&S Auto Sales, Heritage House, and The Wells estate.” Sammy takes a sip from his glass.

“The Wells estate? Aren’t they like one of the most prominent families around?” Carly knew about the family.

“Yep, Mr. Wells said I was recommended to him by one of my clients. He came by where I was working and saw my work. I didn’t even know
he was there watching me.” Sammy was surprised when he found out.

“Man, that was lucky. So, are you going to handle the job or are you going to let your new employees do it?” Carly knew Sammy liked to keep his clients happy, like her.

“I and my crew are going to handle it. I’m reassigning several of the other jobs to the new people.” Sammy has already started working on the new schedule.

“So, have you gotten your driver's license yet for the tow truck?” Sammy looks at Carly with a smirk on his face.

“Yes, Mr. Nosy. I finally have the endorsement to drive the tow truck I bought at the last auction. I’m also bonded, so thank you for that as well.” Carly was glad that the person Sammy recommend for the bond, didn’t charge her a lot of money.

“You’re welcome. I figure Darrel would treat you right.”

After a few minutes, their waitress shows up. She looked to be in her mid-twenties and had short brown hair. The name printed on the name tag pinned to her uniform said her name was Brandi.

“Hi, I’m Brandi. Are you ready to order, or do you need a little more time?” Brandi looks at the young couple at her table.

“We’re ready to order, Brandi. I’ll have the footlong meatball sub and an order of onion rings, instead of fries.” Sammy was in the mood for
meatballs.

Brandi looks at Carly “and for you ma’am?”

“I’ll have your bacon cheeseburger and I would like it well cooked. I would also like onion rings instead of fries as well.” Carly hands her menu to Brandi, along with Sammy’s.

“I’ll be back with your order.” As she accepts the menus.

Carly and Sammy sit quietly thinking about what they are going to do with their new purchases. Carly already had a few ideas in mind for her stuff. She looks over towards Sammy and could see he was thinking hard about something.

Brandi finally shows up with their order. She places their plates in front of the proper person and afterward, refilled their drinks.

“Thanks, Brandi.” Carly smiles at Brandi.

Brandi smiles back and walks off to help another customer.

Carly takes a bite of her bacon, cheeseburger and a low moan of pleasure escapes from her mouth. She loved how crispy the bacon was and the taste of the burger itself.

“Having a magical experience over there?” Sammy heard Carly moan.

“Yes, this burger is unbelievable. How’s your sub?”

“Good. The meatballs are very tasteful and the sauce tastes homemade.” Sammy liked homemade food.

“We’re going to need to stop by here more often.” Carly liked the food.

“I’m with you on that.” Sammy agrees with Carly on that statement.

Once Carly and Sammy finish lunch. They leave Brandi a nice tip and head towards their office to unload their purchases. Carly helps Sammy with him and afterward, Sammy helps her unload her stuff.

“Thanks for helping me, Sammy.” Carly looks at her best friend.

“Any time. I’ll call you in a few days.” Sammy gets into his van.

“Okay.” Carly watches as her best friend drives off.

Once he was gone, she looks at her purchases. She knows she’ll need to check the ATVs out to see if they work. If they did, she’ll have to get replacement titles for them. She locates all the information on them she’ll need and write it down, before driving home.

She pulls into her driveway and parks her pick-up truck. The dune buggy she bought and refurbish was inside the garage. She loved it and the fact that it was a Meyer Manx dune buggy with an actual Volkswagen motor was the frosting on the cake.

She walks into her house and checks her email. There were a few jobs that people wanted to hire her for. She prints the emails out and planned on calling them tomorrow.

Carly walks into her bedroom and starts stripping out of her clothes. She will be glad when she has enough money to have her SRS surgery. She figures if she flipped a few more vehicles, she’ll have enough money to get her surgery.

She walks into her shower and sets it for the way she likes it. She loved the recent upgrades she had done to her shower. Six showerheads hit
her body from different directions. She loved the new upgrades to the shower.

Once she was done taking a shower, she slips on a clean pair of panties and one of her favorite nightshirts. She heads into the living room and curls up under the blanket laying on the sofa. She spends more time in the living room than she does in her bedroom.

Carly selects an on-demand movie. She notices it was the new Suicide Squad movie. She makes herself comfortable as she starts watching the movie. Halfway through the movie, she falls asleep.

Carly’s Repair:
Carly looks over the detailed equipment she bought the other day. She was testing everything and making sure it was working right. As she is testing the pressure washer, she hears a voice.

“You might want to turn down the pressure some if you’re planning on using it on people’s cars.” Jennifer was out looking for work when she spotted a person outside looking over a mobile detailer rig.

Carly stops and looks at the young woman watching her. She noticed the young woman was dressed up as if she was looking for a job.

“Do you have any experience with this type of set-up?”

“Yes ma’am, I do. I use to work at a carwash and the owner uses to own a set-up like this.” Jennifer missed that job.

Carly looks at the young woman. She had dark brown hair, that was cut in a pixie style. She stood about five feet tall and had some freckles on her face. She noticed that she also had a medium size chest.

“How would you like a job?” Carly figures she could use someone to run the mobile detail rig.

“As long as the pay is good. I have a list of clients that I can call.” Jennifer had a list she kept when the carwash closed their detail service.

“How does twelve an hour sound?” Carly figures she could drum up some business.

“Sounds good, but I run the rig and buy the supplies.” Jennifer wanted to have say-so over the detail rig.

“Deal. I’m Carly Gilles by the way.” Carly holds her hand out.

“It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Gilles. I’m Jennifer Ward by the way.” Jennifer shakes Carly’s hand.

“Well, Jennifer. When can you start?” Carly wanted to get back to work.

“How does tomorrow, sound? Oh. One more thing. Would you mind if I hire an assistant?” Jennifer figures she could use a helper.

“I don’t see why not. They will have to start at eight dollars an hour.” Carly figures she could afford that.

“That’s fine. I’ll see you tomorrow morning.” Jennifer had a smile on her face as she walks off.

Carly’s cellphone starts ringing. She presses the accept button “Carly’s repair.”

Carly pulls out a notepad and writes the address down as the person spoke to her. Once the call ended, Carly heads inside and grab the keys to her tow truck. She heads towards the address she was given.

Carly was kept busy most of the day with calls from people she knew or from her friend that owned the front part of the garage she worked out of. She manages to pull in a decent profit from the towing jobs she has during the day. When she gets back to the garage, she gets to work on the items she bought at the auction.

The next morning, when Carly shows up at her garage. There is a line of cars outside her garage and the woman she hired yesterday, and another young girl was washing and detailing cars. There had to be six cars waiting to be taken care of. The young girl was busy busting her butt washing the cars.

She had long purple hair tied into a ponytail. She was wearing a pair of shorts that showed off her big hips. She was wearing a dark tank top that showed off her big tits.

Carly couldn’t believe the line she was seeing. She noticed that there were a few cars parked where she normally parked customer cars waiting to be repaired. She parks her pickup truck in her normal parking spot. Afterward, she gets out and walks over to Jennifer.

Jennifer noticed Carly pulling into the parking lot. She was still amazed that the people she knew had been waiting to hear from her. If she had known she would be this busy, she would have asked Carly to hire two other people.

She notices Carly walking towards her. She could tell Carly was amazed at how many customers she had.

“Sorry about the line and the extra cars.”

“That’s fine. Where did you get so many, customers?” Carly was amazed at how many were waiting.

“These are just a small amount of my loyal customers from my last job. When they heard I was back in business, they were happy. The cars over in your customer parking space, belong to a used car lot and want those cars detailed out.” Jennifer couldn’t believe Joe’s Used Cars had found out she was back in business.

“That’s fine. Who’s your helper?” Carly noticed the girl was busy.

“That’s my cousin, Katherine. She’s worked with me before and knows how I do things.” Jennifer looks at her cousins as she busted her butt to get the cars done.

“Look, if you need more help. Go ahead and bring them in.” Carly figures with this many cars, she could make it up.

“Thanks.” Jennifer pulls her cellphone out and calls two people she knew who could use some work.

Carly turns and heads towards her garage to get started on some customer's cars. While she is working, two cars and a motorcycle show up.
In one car, was an oriental with a medium-size chest and curvy figure. The next car had two black women that had big hips and big chests as well. The person on the motorcycle was wearing a motorcycle riding suit, but she had a medium size chest as well.

She saw Jennifer wave them over to her. The person on the motorcycle when she took her helmet off had black and white hair tied into a ponytail. She was also as tall as Jennifer.

Carly noticed them talk with Jennifer for a while and afterward, they get to work. All of them changed out of the clothes they had on, into shorts and tank top like Jennifer’s cousin was wearing.

Carly figures the way those women were dressed. They could drum up a lot of business. She goes back to doing repairs. Around one in the afternoon, she orders lunch for everyone.

Jennifer introduces Carly to Mary, Sonya, Shanice, and Aliyah. Aliyah was the oriental woman’s name. They all worked with her at the carwash before it closed.

Carly just looks at all six women. She wonders if their chest and hips were natural or fake. All six ladies could enter a swimsuit contest.

After lunch, the ladies thanked her. They all go back to work. More cars had shown up while they were eating.

Carly watches as the girls work their butts off. Jennifer had to go out and buy an appointment book to schedule appointments for more clients and people who saw them detailing cars. The person she rented her garage bay from, even had some customers of his that wanted to have their cars detailed.

There were a few people who had Rv’s that they wanted detailed. Jennifer couldn’t believe how much work she was lining up. The ladies she was working with, we're glad to be back to work. Sure, they had a few part-time jobs, but they missed doing the detailing work.

The girls and Jennifer call it quits around seven in the evening. They finished up their last customer, but still had the cars that were dropped off by the dealership to do.

While Jennifer and her cousin were putting everything away. Carly walks over to them “I’m glad you stopped and asked about the detailing rig, yesterday.”

“So am I. I miss doing this type of work.” Jennifer missed doing this.

“Well, I’m glad you had a bunch of people you could call in to help you.” Carly noticed Katherine sipping soda from a can she got from the soda machine.

“They are a unique bunch of ladies. I missed working with them. Well, I better get my cousin home and feed her.”

“If you need anything, just let me know.” Carly didn’t mind helping Jennifer and her cousin out.

“Thanks, I will.”

Jennifer walks over to her cousin. She knew Katherine was happy being back to work again.

“Come on, let’s go to Rose’s tonight for dinner.” Jennifer knew Katherine loved the food at Rose’s.

A smile appears on Katherine’s face as she follows Jennifer to her car. She was happy that she was working again and was working with people she considers her family. She hated that the carwash had shut down.

Carly watches as Jennifer and her cousin drive off. She closes her garage and heads to Stokey’s to meet up with Sammy. She and Sammy have been friends for a long time. He was one of the first people she met when she settled after running away.

She spots his work truck in the parking lot when she pulls in. She parks her truck next to his. As she is walking towards the restaurant, she spots Sammy sitting at the booth they sat at the last time they came.

She is escorted over to the booth by the hostess. Carly sits down across from Sammy. Once she gives her order to their waitress. She looks at
Sammy “do you remember that detailing rig I bought at the auction?”

“Yeah, I remember. Did you find a buyer for it?” Sammy knew how much money Carly spent at the auction.

“I’m making money off it. A woman came by yesterday looking for work. She and some friends of her used to do detailing work at some
carwash before it closed. So, I hired her to run the detailing rig and you wouldn’t believe how busy, she and her friends were today. They had so many customers, she had to call her friends in to help her.”

“That was a smart move. Do you think it will last?” Sammy liked what Carly did.

“Yes, because she is booked for the next few weeks. Also, she is picking up customers from Johnathan as well.” Carly was surprised by that.

“Damn! She must be good at what she does. So, what are you going to do?” Sammy knew how enterprise Carly could be.

“Well, I have two choices. I could arrange for her to buy the equipment from me and let her work at the lot or keep the arrangement I have now with her and her friends.”

“That’s a lot of work to do, Carly. You’ll have to update your business license and do payroll.” Sammy was talking from experience.

“I know. I could just hire someone to do the day-to-day office work.” Carly didn’t mind renting extra space from Johnathan.

“If you do decide to hire an office person and set up an office. I still have a bunch of office furniture and supplies I could give you for some favors.” Sammy would love to get rid of some of his overstocks.

“Who do you recommend to run the office?” Carly trusted Sammy’s suggestion and advice.

“Elisa Lucas, she’s like you and could use the work. She does some office work for me part-time.” Sammy wanted to help out one of his employee’s sisters.

“If she does work for you and you trust her. I’ll be willing to give her a chance. Who do you recommend for doing payroll?” Carly knew she was going to need someone or a company to handle her billing and such.

“I use ADP for my payroll and accounting. If you hire Elisa, she can handle everything for you. She’s a licensed CPA and knows how to do bookkeeping as well.”

“Okay, let me get the office setup and talk with Johnathan about renting extra space from him.”

“Do you think he’ll go for it?” Sammy knows Johnathan likes Carly.

“I’m hoping he’ll let me set up a small office in one corner of his property. He has outside space he’s not using, and I could use it.”

“Well, good luck and let me know. I think Elisa will be a good fit for you.”

“Thanks.”

The following week, Carly spends time with Johnathan in meetings about setting up an office outside of her garage area. She checked into buying one of those premade storage units/buildings she could turn into an office. She informs him she wants to rent extra space for the towing and detailing.

Johnathan saw how busy the detailed business was the past week. He also saw how the women worked as well. He had to remind some of his men to stop gawking at them and get to work.

He looks at Carly “look, I don’t mind you doing what you’re suggesting. Are you sure you want to extend yourself like this?”

“I think it will benefit you and me in the long run. Plus, it will add extra income to your business.” Carly knew Johnathan has been in a slump lately.

Johnathan looks at Carly. He took a risk when she first approached him about renting the bay she has been renting for the past few years. She has also helped him out when he was short-handed and did inspections for him as well.

“Alright, I’ll allow it. I’ll have my lawyer draw up a new contract for you. I do ask one favor from you. I have a friend that needs a job. I know you just bought a tow truck and got your CDL. However, if you’re going to be running all these businesses, you’re going to need to be at the office.”

“I see what you mean. Okay, send him to me and I’ll interview him. If I hire him, you can use him as well.”

“Deal!” Johnathan liked how this setup will work out.

“Well, I better get the ball rolling.” Carly stands up and shakes Johnathan’s hand.

Johnathan shakes Carly’s hand. He was glad he took a chance with her.

“Good luck.”

“Thanks.” Carly leaves Johnathan’s office and walks back towards her garage area.

As she passes through the other bays. She spots Jennifer and her friends busy doing detailing work. She had to redo Jennifer’s pay to twenty dollars an hour and pay the other women twelve dollars an hour. She increased Katherine's pay to ten dollars an hour.

Carly walks over to Jennifer “can I talk with you, Jennifer?”

“Sure, Carly.” Jennifer looks towards Aliyah “can you take over for me?”

“Sure.” Aliyah takes over-spraying the cars from Jennifer.

“So, what do you want to talk about?” Jennifer was curious. She knew that things have been going well for them lately.

“I’m going to be expanding the business and getting an office for us as well. Is there anything special you think will help?”

“Maybe setting up an outside area where some of our customers can wait. Maybe, a couple of yard chairs and maybe a table or pavilion. We could also use it to eat our lunch at as well.” Jennifer knew the girls would enjoy it.

“That’s not a bad idea.” Carly was thinking about something else to go along with it.

Jennifer could see that her suggestion has Carly thinking about something. She knew Carly liked supporting her people.

“Is there anything else?”

“No, thanks for the suggestion and for all the business you brought.”

“Anytime.” Jennifer goes back to detailing.

Since Carly had no jobs lined up. She was going to spend the day looking at sheds and such that could be used to act as an office. The electrician was going to install the wiring and outlets in the place. He worked for Johnathan and did all his electrical work.

She heads pulls into a few companies that were selling the sheds and offices. The first place she stopped at, didn’t have anything she liked. The second place only had outdoor garages and sheds for sale. It was the third place she goes to, that had what she wanted. While she was looking at some of the offices, she spotted a guy across the street from the place selling hot dogs and such.

While she is looking at the offices, that idea percolated in her mind as she checked on the prices. She spotted three units that would be perfect as an office on the property. She arranges for one that has a porch, where the ladies could go and relax.

She arranges for delivery to Johnathan’s place. Afterward, she goes by a Home Depot to look at some outdoor furniture for the customers waiting on their cars and a pavilion. She spots some that were on sale. It had been marked down a lot. She buys the last two sets and puts them in her truck. While she is having the furniture loaded, she spots a small food truck for sale.

She walks over to it and saw that it had a number of the seller on the sign. She calls the number and waits for an answer.

“Hello?”

“Hi, I’m calling about the food truck you have for sale. What’s wrong with it and how much money are you asking for it?” Carly was looking through the windows to the inside.

“It needs a new engine and the generator replace.”

Carly knew she had a spare generator she keeps around the shop for emergency purposes. She also knew she could buy a new one cheaply.

“How much do you want for the truck?”

“Ten thousand dollars.”

“I’ll pay you eight thousand and tow it away for you.” Carly figures she could handle the tow.

“Alright, eight thousand. When do you want to meet to pay for it?”

“You do have a title for it and keys?” Carly wanted to make sure.

“Yes, I’ll bring them along.”

“Okay, tomorrow morning and I’ll meet you here at the truck.” Carly figures she’ll come in her tow truck.

“Alright, how does nine o’clock sound to you?”

“Sounds fine. I’ll see you at Nine o’clock.” Carly ends the call.

Carly sighs because she just got finish replenishing her surgery fund. The truck just put a big chunk in it.

“I hope you are worth it.” As Carly pat the side of the truck before she walks off.

Carly heads back to the garage and saw that the ladies were busy. They had three cars left to do. She unloads the outdoor furniture and sets it up. She hopes the ladies enjoy it.

Jennifer was taking a break and saw Carly setting up outdoor furniture. A smile appears on her face. It seems she made the right choice in choosing Mrs. Gilles to work for.

Jennifer walks over to Carly “thanks for buying the outdoor furniture.”

“You’re welcome. I hope our clients enjoy it.” Carly steps back to look at the pavilion and the furniture.

“I think they will.” Jennifer liked the setup.

“Good! I have one more surprise for all of you as well.” A teasing smile appears on Carly’s face.

“Oh? What is it?” Jennifer was curious now.

“You’ll find out tomorrow.” Carly just smiles and heads into the garage to make room for the food truck.

The next day, Carly meets with the guy and buys the food truck. She tows it to her garage to work on it. While she is working on the motor, she wonders who she could hire to run the truck.

“Carly, are you in here?” Johnathan saw the food truck being towed in and wonders who it belonged to.

“I’m down here.” Carly waves her foot to get Johnathan’s attention.

Johnathan kneels next to the truck and wonders what Carly was doing. He could see that the inside where the driver and passenger sit was exposed. He could see light coming up from underneath the truck.

“So, what are you doing with the truck?”

“Fixing it.”

“So, is it one of your projects or does it belong to someone?”

“It’s one of my projects. Why?” Carly slides out from underneath the truck.

“Well, if you’re going to put it back in service. I think I might know someone to run it for you.”

“What’s in it for you?” Carly knew Johnathan never made an offer unless he was getting something out of it.

“Look, this person I know has been wanting his own food truck for a while. He’s a good cook and will work hard.”

“Okay, you still didn’t tell me what you’re getting out of it.” Carly looks up at Johnathan.

“If you hire this person, I’ll go half in with you.” Johnathan figures Carly might like the deal.

Carly lays on her creeper thinking about it. It would save her some money. She also figures if Johnathan trust this person, she should too.

“Okay, deal. You do know we will need a food license and have the truck inspected.”

“I know. I’ll take care of the license and whatever supplies we will need.”

“Okay, I should have the truck up and running in a few days. So, I’ll let you know.” Carly found the problems the engine was having, and it was going to take her a few days to fix.

“Whatever the truck needs, put it on my account.”

“Okay.” Carly crawls back under the truck and goes back to work.

In the next few weeks, Carly and Johnathan are kept busy with all the projects going on. The two cooks Johnathan hired, made some samples for her and Johnathan. They selected the ones the truck was going to sell.

On top of that, the new office was delivered. Carly helped the person Sammy suggested set the office up. By the time everything is ready, she has a grand opening for the food truck and the Detail shop.

“Carly, are you in here?” Sammy walks into the garage Carly was renting.

“I’m over here.” Carly’s feet were sticking out from under a black Ford F150.

Sammy walks over to the pick-up truck and saw Carly’s small feet sticking out from under the truck. He kneels beside her small feet.

“What are you doing under there?”

“Fixing a broken brake line. Give me a second.” Carly tightens the nut holding the line to the brake caliper.

Once it was tightened, she slides out from under the truck. She notices Sammy kneeling next to where she was. She looks up at him “so, what brings you up here today?”

“What’s on your schedule for tomorrow?” Sammy looks down at Carly’s face.

He noticed she had her head wrapped. He wonders what she did to her head.

“Nothing, this is my last job for a while.” Carly was glad this was the last job she had today. Her head was hurting her.

“Good, there’s a government auction tomorrow and they have two SS3 Dune Buggy frames for sale. I know you have been looking for them.”

“Yeah, I know a person who is looking for them. I’m looking for an old 1970 Dune Buggy as well.” Carly wanted one for herself.

“What do you want with a dune buggy?” Sammy was curious why Carly wanted one.

“Because they are cool when you paint them right and you can go to the beach to have some fun with them.” Carly saw one that she liked, but
the guy wanted too much money for it.

“Well, we might be able to find one at the auction.” Sammy figures they might have one.

“Okay, what time do you want to leave tomorrow and where are we going?” Carly reaches for her water bottle and takes a sip of water.

“I’ll pick you up at your place at six. By the way, what did you do to your head?”

“I forgot to secure the drive shaft when I disconnected the U-joint knuckle and it fell on my forehead and broke the skin. Now I have a gash.”
Carly felt stupid from that accident.”

“What am I going to do with you. I’m surprised it didn’t knock you out.” Sammy knew Carly was sort of accident-prone and she did a lot of work by herself.

“I know it was a stupid move on my side. So, where is the auction taking place?” Carly looks up at Sammy. He was the one person she trusted a lot. They were like brother and sister.

“West Columbia. If we leave here at six. We should get there by eight and the auction starts at ten. That will give us two hours to look around and see if there is anything else, we might want to buy.” Sammy had a few items in mind that he wanted to buy.

Carly sits up and takes another sip from her water bottle. She’ll be happy when the aspirins she took for her headache kicked in.

“So, what do you have left to do on this truck?”

“I need to bleed the brakes. If you want to help, I can get it done faster.”

“I’ll help.” Sammy stands up and gets in the truck.

Carly moves to the furthest brake caliber. She puts her wrench on the bleeder valve “alright, pump it five times.”
Sammy pumps the pedal and holds it.

“Alright, its pump.”

Carly loosens the bleeder valve and watches as the fluid comes out. She closes the bleeder valve “alright, pump it again.”

The next fifteen minutes, Sammy and Carly bleed the brake line and checks for leaks. Once she was done, she lowers the truck back down and moves her mechanics creeper out of the way.

“Back the truck out and take it around the block for a test drive and tell me what you think of the brakes.” As Carly fills the master brake
cylinder and closes the hood.

“Alright.” Sammy carefully bakes the pick-up truck out of the garage.

Carly watches as Sammy backs the pick-up truck out of the garage. When he is completely out, and he drives off. She starts gathering her tools and put them away, after wiping them clean. She cleans up her mess and gets ready to close the garage up.

Sammy heads back to the garage. The brakes were working fine. When he gets back to the garage, he pulls the truck inside it, so Carly could lock it up.

Carly pulls the garage door down behind the truck and locks it. She turns around and writes up the repair ticket for it.

“Roll the window up and lock the door, Sammy.”

“Okay.” Sammy rolls the window up and locks the door when he gets out.

“Here.” As he tosses the keys to her.

“Thanks.” Carly catches them and attaches them to the repair order.

“When is your customer coming to pick the truck up?”

“On Friday, when he gets paid. I told him, I would float the bill and let him have the truck back before then.”

“And he didn’t want to do that?” Sammy looked puzzled.

“Nope. He said he’ll pick the truck up on Friday, after work.” Carly grabs her car keys and walks out of the garage.

“Come on, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“Thanks.” Carly walks over to Sammy’s car and gets in.

Sammy takes them to their favorite mom and pop restaurant. They head towards their favorite booth and sit down. Sammy digs around in his pocket for some quarters. The booth had one of those old fashion mini jukeboxes.

Sammy drops the quarters in. Between him and Carly, they select several of their favorite songs.

“Sammy, Carly what brings you guys in here tonight?” Latesha had spotted her favorite customers sitting in their favorite booth.

“Good food, not the frozen tv dishes I’ve been eating.” Carly could cook, but it was cheaper for her to just buy frozen dinners to eat.

“Well, you have come to the right place. So, what would you tonight?” Latesha knew Sammy and Carly had their favorites.

“I’ll have the pot roast tonight, Latesha with a sweet tea, please.” Carly closes her menu.

“And I’ll have the chili burger, with steak fries and a large coke.” Sammy closes his menu and hands it to Latesha.

“Okay, I’ll be back with your drinks.” Latesha takes the menu’s and heads back towards the kitchen.

She comes back a few minutes later with their drinks. After Latesha sets them down in front of Carly and Sammy. She walks away to take care of some other customers.

Carly takes a sip of her iced tea and listens to the song she selected. She looks at Sammy and wonders how things were going for him.

“How’s the business going for you?”

“It’s a little slow, but otherwise things are going alright.” Sammy knew he needed to do something to increase business.

After a while, Latesha returns with their meals.

“Here you go, Sammy.” As she sets his plate down in front of him.

“Thanks.”

“And here is yours, Carly.” Latesha sets Carly’s plate down.

“Thanks, Latesha.” Carly looks at her food.

It was better than the frozen dinners and oodles of noodles she normally fixes for herself. She and Sammy eat and make small talk. They listen to the music playing from the mini jukebox. After their main dish. Sammy orders a warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top of them.

Carly just smiles, because she knew apple pie was Sammy’s weakness. She preferred pecan pie, with whipped cream on it. After she finishes eating her pie, she leans back against the booth wall.

Latesha brings over the check for the meal. Carly goes to pull her wallet out.

“I got it, Carly.” Sammy picks the checkup and looks at the amount.

He pulls twenty-five dollars out and places it on the table.

“Come on, I’ll take you back to your truck.”

“Alright.”

Carly follows Sammy out to his car and gets in. He drives her back to the garage to pick up her small truck. When they arrive, Sammy pulls up next to Carly’s truck “don’t forget, six tomorrow morning.”

“I won’t forget and thanks for dinner.” Carly gets out of Sammy’s car and walks around to the driver's side door of her truck.

She opens it and starts the engine. She slides her cellphone into the wireless charger and selects some music to listen to, while she drives home. Carly follows Sammy out of the parking lot, but instead of turning right as he does. She turns left and away from the garage.

It takes Carly fifteen minutes to pull into her driveway and park. She covers up a yawn when she gets out of her small truck. She heads into the house after she grabs her mail. She notices that there was a letter in her mail from her landlord. She opens and hopes it’s not bad news.

As Carly walks into the house, she reads the letter. It was bad news, but not for her. The person she was renting from had died and according to the letter, he left her the house she was currently living in. She stops mid-way in the house and couldn’t believe it. She looks at the
letterhead and notices it was from Wolfhart, Harris, and Jackal. She continues to read the letter. According to the information in the letter, she needs to come down to the law firm to accept the deed to the house. She’s to call them and set-up an appointment to let them know when she would become.

Carly felt sorry that Mr. Larson had died. He was a good guy and a great landlord. She folds the letter up and put it on her work desk in the living room. At least now all she needs to do is pay the property tax on the house, instead of rent each month.

She walks into her bedroom and strips out of her work clothes. Since her breasts weren’t very big, she doesn’t bother to wear a bra much. She grabs her overnight bag out of the closet and starts putting fresh clothes in it. She didn’t know if she and Sammy were going to be staying overnight or not.

Once her overnight bag is done, she heads into the bathroom. Carly drops a few bath beads into the tub and starts filling it with hot water. She shimmies out of her panties and steps into the tub.

The water felt so nice to her sore body. Even though the repairs were simple today. She still felt sore. Carly leans back against the tub and closes her eyes. She breathes in the floral scent the bath beads were made of. The scent smelled of roses and other flowers.

She wishes she could get rid of her birth defect. She hated it so much. When she feels herself falling asleep in the tub, she gets out and dries off. She flips the drain plug, so the water in the tub would drain.

Carly picks her cellphone up and set the alarm for five in the morning. That way she could drink her coffee and be ready to leave. She slips her newest nightshirt on and crawls into bed. Before long, she is in la, la, land.

0500hrs.
At 0500hrs. Hot for Teachers start blaring from Carly’s cellphone.

She reaches out from under her covers and hit the snooze button. She pulls her hand back under the blanket and goes back to sleep. Carly didn’t want to get up or out of bed. Nine minutes later, Hot for Teachers starts playing again.

Carly tosses the blanket aside and reaches for her cellphone. She rubs her eyes to clear the sleep away, as she gets out of bed and heads towards the bathroom. She washes her face and brushes her hair. She takes out her spare bottle of estrogen pills she keeps in the medicine cabinet and takes two of them. She puts those back and grab an estrogen patch and slap it on.

The patches she got from a nursing friend of hers. The doctor she works for was willing to prescribe for people for a price. There were only certain drugs he would do it for.

Carly heads back into her bedroom and gets dress. She puts on a short denim coverall bid. She grabs a black t-shirt that had horses running on it. Underneath the horses it read, Mustang, feel the power. She doesn’t bother with a bra, as she slips her t-shirt on.

After Carly is dressed, she heads towards the kitchen and fixes a thermos of coffee. She grabs a few muffins she bought the other day on her way home. Her overnight bag was at the front door.

She sits down in the kitchen and checks the weather channel. According to the weatherman, the next few days are supposed to be clear and sunny, high’s up in the ’90s and the lows in the 65’s. She grabs one of her small coolers and fills it up with ice and several bottles of water.

Carly glances towards her wall clock and notices it was five minutes till six. She picks up the cooler and heads towards her front door. She cuts the lights off and walks out of the house.

Just as Carly steps out of the house, she spots Sammy pulling up in his cargo van. She waves at him, as he pulls up next to the curb. She carries the cooler, thermos of coffee, and her overnight bag over to the van. She opens the side door and put all her stuff inside. She notices Sammy had brought his overnight bag as well.

“Great minds think alike.” Carly looks towards Sammy.

“I thought we could take a little vacation, while we are in West Columbia.” Sammy covers up a yawn.

“I brought coffee, just the way you like it.” Carly hands the thermos to Sammy.

“Thanks.” Sammy accepts it and pours some into his covered coffee cup.

Carly shuts the side door and gets in on the passenger side and secures herself. She buckles herself in before Sammy would move.

“Okay, I’m buckled in.”

Sammy puts the van into gear and starts heading towards the highway. He had some music playing, which was the same style that Carly liked.

“So, how big is this auction?” Carly turns to look at Sammy.

“Fairly big. It’s a government auction both military and city government.” Sammy visited the website.

“Cool. That means we stand a chance on buying things cheaply. Oh, by the way. I just received a letter from Wolfhart, Harris, and Jackal.”

“Who are they?” Sammy never heard the name before.

“They are Mr. Larson’s law firm and according to the letter I received. He left me the house I was renting from him.” Carly liked the house she was living in. She had been thinking about doing a rent to own with Mr. Larson.

“That was nice of him. Didn’t you want to buy it from him?”

“Yes, I like it.” Carly has fallen in love with the house.

“What day do you have to be at their office?”

“I’m to call them and let them know when I am available.” Carly knew she had some jobs coming up by the end of the week. She had three tune-ups on Saturday and an oil change on Sunday.

“Well, when you do call them. Let me know, and I’ll go with you.” Sammy glances towards Carly.

“Thanks.”

0800hrs. Surplus Property Office:
“Well, we're here.” Sammy pulls into the parking lot and park.

“Good, I need to pee and stretch my legs.” Carly unbuckles her seat belt and grabs a legal pad to take with her.

They head towards the building and have to put down a three-hundred-dollar deposit. Which they will get back if they don’t buy anything.

“I’m heading towards the lady’s bathroom.” Carly spotted it when she walked in.

“I’ll meet you outside.” Sammy was going to look around, while Carly potty.

“Okay.” Carly heads towards women’s bathroom.

She still gets nervous every time she walks into a bathroom. She knows some women peek between the partition cracks to see if real women are in the stall and not transgender ones. She unbuttons her coveralls and let them slide and bunch at her knees. Her panties are next as she sits on the toilet seat.

She relaxes enough to start peeing. It shouldn’t bother as much as it does. She knows some women can be kind of picky or get upset when they find out there’s not a genetic girl in the bathroom. Once she is done with her business, she gets redress and washes her hands, after flushing the toilet.

Carly smiles as an older woman comes walking in, as she is heading out. She keeps grinning at the thought of fooling the other woman. She heads outside and looks around for Sammy.

She spots him looking at a total of six generators that were going to be auctioned off. She walks over to him “too bad we can’t start them up to see if they work.”

“I know, but if they don’t. I could always fix them and get them to work.” Carly was thinking about bidding on them.

She writes their auction number down.

“If I do manage to buy one, will you fix it for me?” Sammy looks at Carly.

“You know I would. You’re like a brother to me.”

Carly and Sammy walk around looking at everything that is for sale. She spots the military dune buggies that were for sale and a couple of tow trucks as well. One had a blown motor in it. Carly figures she could rebuild the motor or go down to the junkyard and grab a good secondhand motor.

The next two hours Carly and Sammy walk around looking at everything for sale. A decent crowd was forming as they waited for the auction to start.

“Well, it looks like we might end up spending a little more money.” Carly watched as a couple of burly looking guys, eyed the buggy’s she
wanted to buy.

Sammy spotted the same guys Carly did eyeing the buggy’s she had her heart on buying. He knew how badly she wanted those buggies.

“Don’t worry Carly, I got your back.” Sammy knew how to help Carly get what she wanted.

At ten o’clock the auction starts. A bunch of small things go first and then the generators that Carly and Sammy both wanted. They managed to buy three of the six generators. The things that come up are some four-wheelers and two bobcat mini bulldozers. Sammy manages to snag two four-wheelers and one of the bobcats.

Carly knew why Sammy wanted the bobcats. He had a lawn business as she had. There were a few other small items, the two of them bought. Most of it was office furniture and such. When the dune buggies came up, Carly tries to get the first few good ones. Ones, she wouldn’t have to put so much work into.

Those went to the guys that had been eyeing them. Sammy tried to help her, but they just kept increasing the bids. It came down to the last three buggies. The guys weren’t that interested in them, but they did increase the bids. When it reached, six hundred dollars, they weren’t interested. She ended up buying all three of them for a total of eighteen hundred dollars.

She buys the slingback tow truck for five hundred dollars. There wasn’t anything else they were interested in buying.

“So, who should we call to come and pick up our purchases?” Carly had a list of truckers she could call.

“I was thinking about Larry. He still owes us a big favor.” Sammy figures Larry’s flatbed trailer could hold everything they bought.

“We better tell him to bring help. They won’t help him load up.” Carly had read the agreement of the auction. They had three days to remove their purchases.

Sammy pulls his cellphone out and calls Larry. After a few seconds, Larry’s voice comes over the cellphone “you got Larry. What you got for me, Sammy?”

“I need for you to come to West Columbia, SC, and pick up some purchases me and Carly made.”

“What today?” Larry had nothing on his plate, but he still didn’t feel like driving that far.

“Yes, today. However, if you can’t do it. You’ll need to do it by tomorrow afternoon, and you’ll need some help to load what we bought.”

“Alright, I’ll be there tomorrow morning to pick everything up.”

“Alright, we’ll meet you here with all the paperwork you’ll need.” Sammy ends the call.

He looks towards Carly “Let’s go and get the van and load the office furniture you bought.”

“I only bought it, because I know some people who wanted that style of furniture.” Carly had a list of people who have been looking for that style.

They go and get the van and drive it to the back. They show the guard on duty the purchase receipts for everything. Sammy parks the van nearby and open the back doors to load everything.

Between him and Carly, they managed to get everything into the van with some room leftover. Once everything was loaded, they drive out of the auction area.

“Let’s go and get some lunch.” Carly was feeling a little hungry.

“Sounds good to me.” Sammy looks for a nice fast food joint or a dinner to stop at.

As they drive down the road, he spots an old fashion drive-in. Right across the street on the other side was a used car lot. Sammy pulls into a parking spot and cuts the engine off.

“Welcome to Doc’s Drive-In, how can I help you?”

“Yes, I would like your chiliburger, large fries, and a large vanilla shake. What do you want, Carly?” Sammy turns to face her.

“Order me their number six with onion rings and a large strawberry shake.” Carly turns around to look out the passenger side window.

She spots the car lot across from them and sitting way back in the corner, looked to be the style of dune buggy she was looking for. She
unfastens her seat belt “Sammy, I’m going to run across the street to check something out. I’ll be back.”

“Alright, don’t take to long.” He watches as Carly runs across the parking lot of the drive-in restaurant and cross the street.

As she gets closer, she spots the type of dune buggy she was looking for, but it was going to need a lot of work done to it. The buggy looked like someone had started working on it and gave up.

“We got better-looking cars, upfront ma’am.” George had seen a young woman with long brown hair girl, wearing a pair of short denim coveralls come running over to the dune buggy.

“I’m not interested in them; I’m interested in this dune buggy.” Carly was looking at it.

“You don’t want that thing. It will take too much work to get it running and painted.” George knew how much work it was going to require getting it into shape.

“So, it doesn’t run? Is that what you are saying?” Carly turns around to face the salesman.

“It runs, but it has a miss to it and it backfires.” George has started it up several times, it always backfired on him.

“How much are you asking for it?” Carly figures she could get the miss out of it and stop the backfiring.

“Twenty-two hundred dollars.”

Carly examines the dune buggy and goes over every inch of it. She finds so much wrong with it, that even if she got the motor running right, there was no driver seat and most of the suspension needed to be replaced.

“Twelve hundred, no more.” Carly faces George. She had her serious face on.

“I can’t do it for twelve hundred. How about two thousand?” George was watching the young woman trying to see what she was thinking.

“Fifteen hundred and that’s my final offer.” Carly wasn’t going any higher.

George thinks about it. He only had eight hundred tied up into it. At least he’ll get a good profit from it.

“Fifteen hundred it is then. Let’s go inside and do the paperwork.” Carly heads inside to pay him and fill the paperwork out.

By the time she gets back across the street to the drive-in “you know, if you had stayed a little bit longer over there. I was going to come over there to see what you were doing.”

Sammy had been concerned about Carly. He knew she normally didn’t leave her food unattended.

“Sorry.” Carly grabs her hot dog and takes a bite of it.

“So, what did you buy?” Sammy spotted a large envelope in her hands.

“I found the dune buggy I was looking for. It’s going to need a lot of work, but it will look awesome after I get done with it.” Carly takes another
bite from her hot dog.

“Am I going to have to rent a tow dolly?” Sammy steals one of Carly’s onion rings.

“Yep, but I’ll pay for it.”

The rest of the afternoon, they go to a U-Haul and rent a tow dolly. Afterward, they head back to the used car lot and hook the dune buggy up. Sammy looks at the thing “you have a lot of work ahead of you.”

“I know.”

They get a hotel room for the night, after hooking the dune buggy up to Sammy’s trailer hitch. They get up early the next day to meet up with Larson. After they give him the paperwork, he was going to need to get their purchases. They head home.

Sammy drops the dune buggy off at Carly’s place. He looks at her “you have a lot of work to do to make this thing drivable.”

“I know. Are you going to be busy next week?” Carly was thinking about going to the law office.

“I don’t have a lot lined up. Why do you ask?” Sammy was curious.

“I was thinking about going to the law office next week.”

“Okay, I’ll come with you.” Sammy figures it was the least he could do for her.

“Thanks.”

“Any time.” Sammy gets back into the van and drives off.

Carly heads into the house as she covers up a yawn. She’ll start work on the dune buggy tomorrow. She tosses her overnight bag in the laundry room.

The next few weeks Carly works on the Dune Buggy and the SS3 dune buggies as well. The visit to Wolfhart, Harris, and Jackal went well.
They gave her the deed to the house, and it was recorded at the city hall as well. So, now she was responsible for the city taxes and any maintenance that needs to be done.

She managed to get the original engine in the dune buggy she bought, purring like a kitten. As for the tow truck, she rebuilt the engine in it and now she had a tow truck. For her to use it for business, she has to take a course and get a CDL license.

As for the generators, she and a mechanic she knew by the name of Josie had to rebuild two of them. Once they were done with them, they ran without any problems. The third one, they converted over to natural gas.

She had to tear down the other two SS3 buggies. The frame was bent on one and the other one had cracks developing on several joints. It was a good thing; she knew how to weld. She had a buyer for two of them.

She was going to keep the third one, for herself. By the time she is completely done with repairing everything. Her bank account was looking a little thin. She used the money she set aside to get her operation to repair the items she bought.

Before she goes to bed for the night, she takes one more look at the Dune Buggy and a smile appears on her face.

Carly wipes the sweat away from her eyes. She had grease on her cheek and hands. She hated wearing gloves.

“How are the repairs coming, Carly?” Christina brings over a nice glass of lemon aid.

“Almost done, Mrs. Simpson.” Carly tightens up the last spark plug and put the new wires on it.

She takes a rag out of her back pocket and wipes away the sweat and grease on her face. She gathers all her tools and put them back in her mechanics bag. She reaches inside the driver window and starts the car right up.

Mrs. Simpson couldn’t believe Carly had managed to get her car going again. She hands the glass of lemon aide to Carly “I thought you might like something cold to drink.”

“Thank you.” Carly accepts the glass and takes a sip of the lemon aide.

“I can’t believe you got the car going.” Mrs. Simpson walks over and looks at the car as it ran.

“It just needed a tune-up and an oil change.” Carly had done a full tune-up and put a new oil pan gasket on.

Mrs. Smith turns the car off and looks at Carly. She was amazed that a girl her age knew how to work on cars.

“How much do I owe you?” Mrs. Simpson had gone to the bank yesterday and drew out the cash from Carly’s estimate.

“Less than I quoted you originally.” Carly managed to get the new wires cheaper, then what she originally priced.

“Good, so what do I owe you?” As Mrs. Simpson pulls the money out of her pocket.

“Two hundred dollars for everything.” Carly pulls the work order she wrote and hands it to Mrs. Simpson.

Mrs. Simpson looks at the bill. She notices the prices for the parts Carly originally quoted, were cheaper. She hands the money over to Carly.

“Thanks, Mrs. Simpson. If you know anyone else that can use my services. Tell them to tell me you sent them, and I’ll give them a 10 percent discount on any repairs.” Carly gives Mrs. Simpson some of her business cards to pass around.

“I will Carly. You be careful and thank you.” Mrs. Simpson watches as Carly climbs into an old Terminix pickup truck.

Carly checks her schedule as she drives off to see if she had another job for today. She had two more, but those were quick jobs. She heads towards her second job, which was a brake job on a 1995 Toyota Corolla. The next job after that one was a simple oil change.

By the time Carly gets home. It was seven in the evening. She pulls her truck into the garage and locks it. She was so happy to be home.

Carly takes her tennis shoes off and slips out of her work coveralls before she heads into the house. As she walks into the kitchen, she grabs
some ramen noodles packets out of the cabinet and starts boiling some water.

Carly watches as the water starts to boil. As she adds the noodles and the seasoning packet. It stirs up memories of when she was living on the streets. She ran away from home because her step-father was an abusive and bigotry person.

He never said a kind word to her, no matter how hard she tried to please him. Her mother, on the other hand, she was wrapped around her new husband’s little finger. Her mother found it a bother to take care of her. The only gifts she received was from her aunts and uncles. They always made sure she had toys, food, and clothes.

Carly shuts the stove off and transfers the noodles from the pot to a bowl she made herself. She learned how to make plates, bowl and even coffee cups from clay. They were pretty good, and she sold a lot of them. She still goes down to the flea market to sell the dishes she makes and online.

Carly heads into her living room to eat the noodles and listen to some music. As she is eating and listening to music. Her cell phone beeps, letting her know she received a text message.

She looks at it and notices it was from her friend Sammy. He wants to know if she is interested in going with him and do some picking. He has a lead on a guy who is willing to sell some of his collection.

She texts him back asking him when he wants to leave. She didn’t mind doing a little picking. She had nothing planned for the next few days.
Carly finishes her dinner and goes to pack an overnight bag. Hopefully, she can find some nice items to bring back and sell at the flea market.
As she is packing, her phone beeps again. Carly looks at it “Tomorrow, at 7 will pick you up at your house.”

“Okay, I’ll have coffee for us.” Carly heads back into her kitchen and set the coffee pot for 6:00 am. Once she has the coffee all set-up for tomorrow. She heads back to her bedroom and finishes packing.

“How has business been?” Sammy looks over towards Carly as they traveled down the road.

“It’s covering the bills.” Carly had enough to cover next month’s rent and a little left over to buy groceries.

The auto repair business paid the rent and whatever else she wanted. She uses the money from the custom dishes business to pay for her picking. The selling of items from that covers her expenses for the clay and paint for the dishes. She also uses some of it to buy more items from picking.

Sammy couldn’t wait till they get to the address he was given. The owners of the property were willing to sell everything from what he was told.

“How are your uncle and aunt? I heard they are thinking about moving to Florida.” Sammy’s mother is friend’s with Carly’s aunt and uncle.

“Aunt Melania wants to move down there for the warm weather and Uncle Ted wants to move for the golf courses.” Carly knew her uncle was into golf.

“I don’t know how anyone can play that game. Anyway, here we are.” Sammy pulls up to a long driveway and follows it towards the end.

As they approached the farmhouse, they could see that the owners were in the process of cleaning the house out. There were several other looking barns and garages that looked to be filled with stuff. Sammy pulls the van up next to a beat-up Chev pickup truck.

Carly follows Sammy as he gets out of the van and walks over towards a man that looks like he could be in his forties. Standing next to him was a short black-haired woman that was a little taller than Carly herself.

“Hi, I’m Sammy Anderson and this is my friend and partner Carly Gilles. We heard that you were trying to sell a few items.” Sammy hopes he made a good impression.

“I’m Tony Williams and this is my sister Betty Williams and your right we are trying to sell some of our father’s collection. How did you guys find out about us selling items.” Tony was curious how these outer towners found out.

“I have friends that live in this area and they passed the word to me and my partner. We’re like the guys from American Pickers. We buy old stuff and resell it.” Sammy spotted a few items he was interested in.

“So, you like old stuff?” Betty looks at Carly when she asks that question.

“Yes ma’am, very much.” Carly loved making money from antiques.

“Well, we can help you.” Betty starts escorting Sammy and Carly around the property.

As they walked throughout the property. They find things they hadn’t seen before. Carly couldn’t believe how much stuff they had. They spend all day going through things and asking how much they were selling them for. It was good they brought a lot of money with them.

They fill his van up with their purchases. What they had would bring some good money at the little shop Sammy operated. On the way back from the farm. They spot a junkyard.

“Sammy, can we stop here, please?” Carly bats her eyes at him and gives him her pouty lips.

“Ah, I hate when you do that.” Sammy pulls into the junkyard.

They see that the owner of the place was in the process of closing. Sammy stops the van, as Carly hops out of the van.

“Excuse me, sir? I was wondering if we could look around really quickly.” Carly was hoping he would say yes.

Charlie had seen a black cargo van coming up the driveway, while he was closing the gates. He looks at the young long brown hair girl as she hopped out of the cargo van. He notices she was wearing a pair of blue jean bib coveralls and a black t-shirt underneath it.

“Sorry Mrs., but I have an appointment to get to. If you want to come back tomorrow morning. I’ll be open at 8 o’clock.” Charlie had to meet with his wife and a few friends.

Carly felt disappointed. They were planning on staying overnight, but they were heading in the opposite direction. Maybe, she could talk Sammy into it.

“Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow morning.” Carly gets back into the van.

“Well?” Sammy looks at his partner.

“We have to come back tomorrow morning.” Carly was using her puppy dog eyes and pouty lips at him.

“We’ll you stop it with the eyes and lips. You don’t need to use them all the time. Sshh, you are worse than my little sister.” Sammy just shakes his head at her.

“I thought I was your little sister?” Carly had a teasing smile on her face.

“You are.” Sammy knew if he had a little sister, he would want her to be like Carly.

“We’ll spend the night and come back tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Sammy.” Carly places a kiss on Sammy’s cheek.

“You’re welcome.” Sammy looks for a mid-price hotel they could stay at for the night.

He finds a nice motel that was reasonable and had a good rating when Carly looked them up. He pulls into the parking lot and park. He watches as Carly hops out and heads into the main office and register them.

After twenty minutes, she comes back out and hops back onto the passenger seat. She looks towards Sammy “I got us a twin bedroom. It’s room 106.”

“Good.” Sammy starts the van up and drives down to the room.

Once they were parked and inside the room. Carly drops her bag on the bed closest to the bathroom.

“Do you want to shower first, or can I take it?” Carly was unhooking the straps on her coveralls.

“You can have it. I’ll order us some dinner.” Sammy looks through the collection of taking out that delivers.

Carly lets the coveralls drop to the floor and remove her t-shirt. She wasn’t wearing a bra underneath her t-shirt. She wasn’t very big in the chest. She leaves her panties on until she walks into the bathroom and removes them. Sammy knew she was transgender, but she knew she made him a little uncomfortable.

She removes her panties and gets the water going. Her being transgender was another reason she ran away from home. Her parents had been talking about admitting her to a mental hospital. Her stepfather knew a Psychologists that would be willing to place her in a mental hospital.

She overheard them talking one day by accident. The doctor was going to make it appear she suffered from serious mental insane. He wanted more money for the job.

Carly pulls the shampoo, body wash and conditioner she brought with her out of her bath bag. She washes her body and hair. When she washes between her legs, she wishes her birth defect wasn’t there. She found a way to disguise that she had a penis by pushing her testicles and penis up inside her body where they came from and used medical superglue to keep them there. She hated tucking them between her legs and using medical tape to hold them in.

“I wish you would go away.” As she rinses the soap from between her legs.

After twenty minutes, she gets out of the shower and wraps a towel around her head. She slips on a pair of cute panties and her nightshirt.
When she walks out of the bathroom, she notices Sammy had ordered Chinese takeout for them.

“What did you get me?” Carly loved Chinese food.

“I got you your favorite, Szechuan Beef, and two eggrolls. Also, a two-liter of Pepsi to share between the two of us.” Sammy sets out two plastic cups and pours soda into them.

“Thanks.” Carly enjoys her dinner. She loved eggrolls with duck sauce on them.

Sammy selects a movie for them to watch as they eat. He glances over towards Carly a few times. He knows how much she wants to be a real girl. The first time he met her, she was wearing a bikini while she was washing his neighbors’ cars.

She was driving a little beat up rust eaten Toyota pickup truck with everything she needed to wash cars with. The small tank of water in the bed looked like the shocks of the truck couldn’t support the weight. She got red as a lobster that day.

A few days after that she was on the other side of the street from his house mowing and edging the lawn wearing only her bikini top and short shorts. Sammy knew the guy she was cutting grass fore liked young girls.

During the next two weeks, he saw Carly doing odd jobs for people on his street. She helped a realtor clean out a house that had been auctioned off. That took a few days to do. She used her small truck to transport the contents to a substation.

Then one weekend while he was at the flea market, he saw her selling hand made dishes. He had gone over and picked one up to examine it and saw that it indeed was hand made. He saw her initials on the back of the dish. The artwork was unique and nice looking. She made complete sets and took custom orders.

He looks over towards Carly and saw her curled up on top of the blankets. Her dirty dish was sitting on the corner of the nightstand that was between them. He gets up and grabs her trash and throw it away.

The Next Day:
“I can’t believe you bought all three cars.” Sammy looks over towards Carly as they drove back home.

“Hey, he had a 1969 Ford Mustang, a 1944 Willys MB Military Jeep, 1967 Chev Nova already setup for racing for sale. The mustang I’m going to invest money in for racing. The Willy’s I’m going to restore and sell to Robert down at the navy and army surplus store. The Nova is partially done. All I need to do is finish it.” Carly had to call a friend of hers to come and pick the cars up and take them to Johnathan’s garage. He rented the back of the place out to her.

She was completely broke now. Carly just watches as Sammy drove them home. He drops her off first.

“I’ll see you later and thanks.” Carly gets out and heads towards the house she was renting.

She would love to own one of her own, but she doesn’t have the money. First, she wants to get rid of her birth defect. Secondly, she wants to open her own garage and work on cars for people. Lastly, she wanted to buy her own house.

Carly walks into the house and tosses her dirty clothes in the washer. She strips out of the clothes she has own and head to her bedroom to get the rest of her dirty clothes. She slips her nightshirt on that is laying on her bed.

She grabs the shop manual she has on Willy’s jeep and looks through it. The cars she bought won’t be at the garage till later at night. While she is looking through the shop manual. She checks her messages to see if she had any jobs come in. There was a couple over on Hayberry Ave that wanted her to give them an estimate to landscape their backyard.

She’ll call them back later and schedule a time to go over and look at the yard. So, far that has been the only call she got for work. She hopes another call comes in.

Carly heads out to the garage and gets her riding lawnmower. She cuts her grass and after cutting the grass. She edges the lawn. By the time the sun goes down, she is extremely tired.

Carly fixes herself some dinner and watches a movie afterward. After the movie is over, she heads to bed. She can’t wait until the vehicles she bought are delivered.

A Day Later:
“Carly, are you back here?” Joseph was looking for Carly.

“I’m out here.” Carly was sandblasting the rims from Willy’s Jeep.

Joseph walks outside and spots Carly wearing a mask, protective glasses, she had gloves on and wearing a full jumpsuit. She had the cuffs taped up, so no sand went up to her sleeve or down her gloves. He spots two of the rims already sandblasted and one still waiting to be sandblasted.

“Johnathan needs your help up at the front desk.” Joseph had been sent to get Carly.

“Alright.” She stops blasting the rim and removes her glasses.

Carly brushes the sand off her suit and removes her gloves as well. She follows Joseph up to the front counter. She spots Mrs. Willes who lives a few doors down from her standing and talking with Johnathan.

“What can I do for you, Johnathan?” Carly was curious why she was called.

“Mrs. Willes wants you to work on her car.” Johnathan didn’t know how she knew Carly rented a bay at his place.

“Okay, which bay is in?”

“Bay 4.” Johnathan went ahead and had its place in the bay.

Carly heads towards bay four and spotted it already on the rack for her. She looks at the work order and performs a few tests. It takes Carly about an hour to locate the problem. It was a bad relay. She heads back up to the front and over to Johnathan.

“I need to order a new relay. This one is causing all her problems.” Carly tosses it to Johnathan.

“I’ll see what I can do.” Johnathan has his part person order the part.

“Let me know when it comes in.” Carly heads back to her bay and finishes working on the wheels on the Willy Jeep.

Thirty minutes later “Carly, your part is in.”

Carly looks up when she hears the announcement. She was three-quarters of the way done sandblasting the wheels. She heads up to the
front of the garage and grabs the part. It takes her five minutes to put in and test the car.

Once the car was purring like a kitten. She heads back up to the front desk “all done and ready to go, Mrs. Willes.”

“Thank you, Carly.”

“You’re welcome.” Carly hands the keys to Johnathan.

She heads back to her bay and finishes up on sandblasting the wheels, so she can send them out to be powder coated. Carly looks up and notices that the rest of the shop was closing up. She was glad the area Johnathan rented to her, had its own security and locks.

Carly looks up from under the hood of the jeep. She finally got it purring like a kitten. She reaches over and grabs a slice of cold pizza she ordered hours ago. She’s been so intense on getting the jeep working, she lost track of time.

She checks what time it is on her cellphone and saw it was quarter till, midnight. She stretches and cover-up a yawn. She loads the sandblasted rims into the back of her pick-up truck. She’ll go by Kellam’s tomorrow morning to have them powder coated.

Carly locks her place up and heads home. She took the rest of the pizza she had leftover with her. She hits the remote and watches as the garage door opens. She’s been talking to the owner of the house she was renting, and he might be willing to do a rent to own for her.

Carly drags herself into the house and into her bedroom. She strips out of her coveralls and brushes out her hair. She wanted to get some of the sand she accidentally got in her hair, out. She debates on jumping into the shower or going straight to bed. Taking a shower wins out, as she heads into the bathroom.

The next morning, she gets up early and heads towards the powder shop to drop the wheels off. Afterward, she heads towards McDonald’s and grabs some breakfast, while she heads over to Mayberry Ave. to look at the lawn she was called about. As Carly is walking around the yard. She hears someone calling her name.

“Carly, hey Carly what are you doing over here?” A young guy that is a couple of years older than her, comes running over to her location.

Carly looks at the guy and tries to figure out where she has seen him before. Then it dawns on her, that he was Alex Sexton’s little brother. She hasn’t seen him or Alex since she ran away.

Shawn couldn’t believe that he was seeing Carly. The last thing anyone heard about Carly, was that he had run away from home. When he gets closer and is able to see Carly clearer, he notices that Carly was dress as a girl now.

“Hey Carly, how have you been?” Shawn stops near her.

“Fine. What brings you to this neighborhood?” Carly was curious.

“My parents just bought the house up the block a week ago. How come you ran away from home?” Shawn was out getting the layout of the neighborhood.

“My parents couldn’t deal with the fact, that I felt more comfortable as a girl, then I did as a boy. So, I ran away. Where is your brother?” Shawn’s brother used to pick on her and beat her up whenever he could.

“He’s in jail. He and some of his friends tried knocking over a liquor store. They didn’t count on, that one of the clerks that worked there, was an off-duty police officer.”

“Damn, that sucks. How long is he going to be in there?”

“He’s going to be in jail for ten years. He was the getaway driver. If he behaves himself, he might get out in three years.” Shawn understood that his older brother messed up.

“Well, all I remember about your brother is, he enjoyed picking on me and beating me up. So, I hope he learns something while he is in prison.”
Carly hasn’t forgiven him, for pulling his pants off.

She had been wearing a pair of her mother’s high waist lace panties. Every kid in her neighborhood, including some of the teenagers, saw them on her. She was called sissy and found pairs of girl underwear stuff into her locker. After that incident, she decided the hell with it and started going to school as a girl.

Shawn looks at Carly and could understand why his brother picked on her. He was a bully and picked on him as well until he punched him in the nuts. He got a lecture from his father about hitting guys in the family jewels.

“Well, it's nice seeing you. I have to go.” Shawn waves goodbye, as he runs off.

“See you as well, Shawn.” Carly watches as Shawn runs off.

Carly finishes her measurements, photo’s and takes off afterward.

Four Weeks Later:
Carly looks over towards the person she just beat in the quarter-mile. The Chevy Nova she raced had beat one of the fastest cars around. She had spent the past two weeks upgrading the nova and preparing it for the race.

She used the money from Willie’s Jeep she restored and sold to buy parts for the Nova. It took a lot of work and a lot of expensive parts to get the Chevy back into racing shape. Once she did that, she had to work her way up to the top position, in order to race the current leader.

The first few races, she almost lost control of the car, because of how powerful it was. However, after she got used to the power her Nova had, she whipped every person she raced. Carly stands there and looks at everyone who had gathered to watch the race.

She was happy and couldn’t wait for the next race.
