Starting from Scratch Ep. 002: CHERRY, PIpEr

Piper counsels Josie on how to make a marriage work, after a thorough tongue lashing.

*

Josie McKellen woke up to sunlight filtering through windows without curtains. Through French doors it was like a supernova. Eyes trying to focus she hardly recognized her surroundings, this not being her home. A chill over her body she realized that she was still naked lying on her own fuzzy blanket. Sitting up swiftly supported by her hands behind her on the floor she looks around as if missing something important.

"Wrong direction. Over here." Came the sweet, toned voice of Piper Leann Cherry-Liberty, she too still quite nude, sitting on her carpet with her left leg arched at the knee as she rubs her upper thigh.

"Has Henry called?" Josie was worried that she slept through her husband's wake up call.

"Nope. Want to talk about last night?"

"You fucked my husband."

"We fucked your husband. I know I probably should apologize for that, but I'm not going to. Affairs are new to me, unlike you. Shared by my ex, yes, but never instigated on my own behalf. Now I know how stupid that was. Last night was lots of fun. I definitely needed to feel downright nasty. But let's not talk about my changes. I'm not knocking you, Josie. Strangely, I hope you and Henry work things out. I truly do."

"That was cruel what the two of you did."

"Was it? Anymore cruel than you seeing this Roman behind his back? Cool name, I hope he's buff in that Centurion armor. I can almost envision a hunk tearing pieces of body armor off just to get naked and claim what it is his. Don't mind me I can't stop touching myself these days." Fingers briskly rubbed her clitoris as if hoping Josie might be lured in for more. This sex thing was long overdue and now that her appetite had been realized she was craving more. Even that young man in the house just beyond her pools 10-foot privacy fence was looking good. Not really too thin and bushy haired. It was more of he looking than her through a telescope on his balcony. She could tell he was beating off though. Good for him. Glad to be of service in Piper's newly christened ideals.

"I had my reasons. What were yours for sleeping with my husband? Behind my back I might add."

"Pure and simple. I was drunk and horny. He was there. You walked out on him last night. He just walked next door. At least he had a destination."

"I should hate you."

"You like my pussy too much to comprehend hatred Josie." Piper winked, "I'd offer coffee but sadly I don't have any. I only just got into town a bit before meeting you two. Enough to polish off my first bottle of wine. I didn't even change, I wore my baby doll nightie all the way from my former home. I even stopped for gas, that was exhilarating. Trust me I needed to be drunk. Almost a four-hour drive from... Georgia."

"You're from Georgia?"

"Peachy me. Atlanta girl!"

"Can we... start over?"

"Exactly why I moved to Tennessee. Sure, I'm Piper..."

"No last name?"

"You a sports fan?"

"Ewww! Not even."

"Me neither." Piper smirked hiding her past, "Piper Cherry, formerly Liberty. Let's never use that last part ever again. I tried to toss it out the window at the state line. But dammit Liberty is part of America, so they tossed it back at me. Justice for all my heart shaped assets."

"Divorced?"

"Just... got things settled with the ex when papers were finalized, handed his folks the keys to our former estate and a check then hit the road. Well, dropped off my puppy at my sister Mona's, that went over well, she hate's dogs. Once that was done... open road. Starting fresh in a new place, I hope the move was good, had my eye on this home a while now from online realties, so I bought it a few weeks back. Nothing glamorous and fancy but it checks off the boxes I required." Time to face the music, "Look Josie... I won't defend my actions, but I have to offer my first impressions here. I'm not speaking about me, but Henry deserves better. I can tell how much he loves you. You even said last night how much you loved him, before you even knew it was Henry roughing you up. That is a beautiful decision."

"I meant it. I do love Henry... I just... needed more. I won't be seeing Roman again." Lie! "Want his number?" She faintly giggled then scowled, "Sorry."

"Don't be. As horny as I get I might. Is he cute in that armor?"

"I wouldn't say cute, he's in his early 50's. He's a football coach at Hillbilly High."

"Football?" NOPE! NADA! "Great! I thought you didn't like sports."

"I don't. I liked what he sported, and he chased me for a year before I gave into him. Once I did, I just couldn't let go. Best of both worlds I suppose." She laughs then realized that was not the time to be amused.

"Ah! Big goal post?"

"Nine-yard line he says. Seven before he fumbles. Roman can be as bad as Henry some days, but at least he offers me moments that push me. I miss my youth. Too be honest before Henry swooped me off of my feet, I was a little whore. Nympho on steroids if you really want to know the facts. Almost every night after school I was with another boy. Sometimes their fathers but we won't go there. I was young and not caring. Henry knocked me up and offered us, my babies a life so I latched on. I actually stayed faithful for the first ten years out of the eighteen we've been married. I snuck around a tad after that but nothing as ferocious as my teenage days."

"As tempting as Roman sounds, I'll skip trying to catch his pass. It's not even his age, I find all ages fascinating. Well, not too young mind you. Is his school really called Hillbilly High?"

"No." Josie snorted wrinkling her nose, "Horton-Dexter High School. It's a Nashville thing. We're all hillbillies here. Even if some of us barely have a twang."

"Gotcha! Well with our housing division named after big tits I'm not surprised."

"You have really big tits."

"I'm thinking bigger once I'm on my feet here. The inner slut in me says go for the backaches."

"Don't! Your tits are perfect. I'm the one that could use a fill up." She uses her thumbs to lightly jab her 34B's.

"I like them."

"Oh, they're ogled believe you me. I'm drooled over daily. As if that doesn't help my hormones." Now she giggled, "Are we going to be lovers?" Josie snickered.

"Never know. Long as I can share that man of yours now and then, without you thinking I'm stealing him."

"Are you?"

"Sorry to disappoint. I plan on being a swinging single for years to come. It's just nice to know I have choices. Trust me I WILL have choices."

"I think my marriage is over." Josie pouts lowering her gaze, "I can't blame Henry if he does request a divorce. I just worry about Dakota and Sable, our twins. They have the rest of this year of high school before graduating."

"Horton Dexter?"

"Yes."

"It gets better and better." Piper chuckles, "Horny Dexter? Really? Does Nashville have an ego thing going on?"

"Neal Horton Dexter built the school in 1962. Horton was his middle name."

"Ah! Does Starbuck's deliver around here?" Piper needed coffee.

"Grub Hub delivers. I have an app on my cell. I'll buy."

"No. I'll buy, I owe you this as the beginning of a truce. We both need a crude awakening I think." Piper crawls around toward the fireplace and picks up her cell from the bricks where she sat it last night. In her crawl Josie enjoyed her tight clam from behind. Sighing she kept her thoughts to herself. Bisexuality seemed to be more appealing by the second. "Let me look up and download the app. Besides you need to keep your line free in case Henry calls."

"He's taking forever. What time is it?" She looks at her own cell, "It's really 10:00? Thank God, it's Sunday or I'd be late for work."

"What do you do for a living? Henry for that matter." Piper asks as the download begins. While waiting she looks out her French doors leading to the pool behind her home. A shiny flash attracts her attention from the home beyond her pool. She knew the boy was spying so simply let him get his money's worth. Yep! Still beating off. She even opened the door back up for a morning breeze and patted her pussy for the boy to witness. Shamelessly she offers him a 360 as she listens to Josie.

"High school teacher, I teach English and classic Lit. Yes, Horton Dexter. That's where I met Roman. I... might need to consider a new job. Dang it! I love my students. I've been there for seven years now."

"Just set some ground rules for this Roman."

"I know him too well. He might take a pause on this, but he will still chase after me, and sadly I know me, I'll cheat again. Roman won't obey my rules for long. He does treat me well, but I can't say I love him when I worship Henry."

"Want me to talk to him?" Piper chuckles.

"No. Let me deal with Roman. Henry is a Game Designer. He works from home designing video games and such. Wonderful money but long hours. He loves his trade."

"Nerdier than I thought."

"Yes. A nerd soul but built like an athlete."

"I've noticed. Pole vaulter maybe."

"I love his pole."

"Not going to deny that. It did feel pretty darn good."

"I... think I'm okay allowing you to have sex with my husband."

"Don't panic... only when I feel needy."

"Good. We can't let our girls know about this."

"Um! That might be a problem." Piper leers out her French doors again. "No curtains. Travis, correct?" She points at the house behind her fence line only using a thumb over her shoulder.

"Oh fuck." Josie snatches up her clothing and runs out of sight to get dressed. "It never occurred to me that he could see us through the doors. I hope it was too dark last night to see by."

"Reflection of the sun might be masking us now. Oopsie! French whore door is wide open. Aw, well! He looks harmless enough."

"Aren't you going to get dressed?"

"Naaaa! Coffee black? Cream? Sugar?" She was ready to order.

"Large Caramel Cappuccino." Josie steps to the doors and squints to check if she could see Travis. "Fuck! Travis has his telescope out on his balcony. I swear that boy is... the students call him Perbert, his last name is Herbert."

"Ooooo! Zooming in and enjoying the show."

"That's not funny. He's the same age as my daughters. They go to school together. We've all lived here for years so they chat sometimes. His father passed a few years back, so my girls don't tease him as bad as some. He gets the short end of the stick at school though. As a matter of fact, he just got suspended. He was doing other students' homework for cash."

"I didn't have measurements for ordering drapes. I guess Travis gets another freebie tonight. My movers are delivering my things tomorrow early, of course I didn't pack drapes. I don't know I might just skip any curtains and blinds. I'm not shy. Okay, coffee is on its way. I ordered some croissants too from Dickin' Donuts."

"Dunkin' Donuts." Josie smirked, "I know what you meant though. Ever wonder if the bakers stick their dicks through the donut holes?"

"You're gross, you know they do. Cream filling is what bothers me." Piper laughs. Josie found it in her to ignore Travis and his bird watching. Chances are he had seen her before now. Probably even her daughters at some point. She even waved at Travis to be nice. He waved back, his other hand in obvious use. Josie simply sighed and mumbled, "Whatever!" beneath her breath.

"I wish Henry would hurry up. No offense, but I really need to brush my teeth."

"Yeah, not a bad idea. Pussy breath does linger."

"Hey!" Josie flips her off playfully. "You know what? I should hate you, but I don't. I hope we can become good friends."

"Behave and I'd like that."

"Me? You fucked my man."

"Yes, I did. You just gave me permission to do it again."

"Ugh! I have to let Henry. If I argue about it he's going to resent me more."

"Josie? Is it Josephine?"

"Yes. Please don't call me that."

"Josie... it's possible that last night has opened Henry's eyes to more than resenting you for still cheating and having his first affair with me. If you two can communicate better, he might even allow you to be with other men."

"Which means he can see other women? Not just you my sexy neighbor?"

"That's between you two. All I'm saying is if you two come to an agreement to love each other unconditionally you might just make your marriage stronger."

"It's a thought. Are you a counsellor?"

"I could be. I have some degrees under my... if I were wearing a belt."

"Really? Horton-Dexter High just retired their Counsellor. Carl Manley is looking for June Bredwell's replacement."

"Bredwell? Shouldn't it be Inbredwell?"

"She heard that all the time. Carl Manley is Horton-Dexter's Principal. He's a tough customer, keeps his school under a tight rule. He was a drill sergeant in the Army."

"Ball bat in hand?"

"They took his Louisville Slugger back to Kentucky."

"Ah!"

"Dammit Henry! Call me already. Should I call him?"

"Listen to your heart, then listen to your man."

"You should apply as School Counsellor."

"It's a thought. Let me get settled first."

"I'll call Carl and recommend you."

"You don't have to do that."

"Job will be filled fast. If I put you at the top of his list, he might slip you in under the radar."

"Fine. At least I can meet Roman."

"Oh, you're evil."

"Incarnate." She used her index fingers as if horns atop her blonde hair.

"Texting Carl now. Piper Liberty, right?"

"Um! No. I went back to my maiden name of Cherry. That name Liberty had to go."

"Bad marriage?"

"Murder." She wasn't lying. There was no need to bring her former past up, sadly Piper realized that there was no way of concealing her identity, but for now yes. Once this Carl ran her background check her career would be in question. Not even asking her father Senator Lane Cherry to have her background scrubbed was worth it, she was in the news on every TV station in the nation. It wasn't her fault her asshole husband was a murderer. Still, she knew his criminal acts would scar her for life. "Maybe, I need to rediscover me before getting a job Josie."

"Nonsense! Carl's a sweetheart."

"You just said he was tough. Old and crusty?"

"Oh, no! Surprisingly, he's not much older than Henry and I. I'm thinking 45. He's fit too. If he weren't my boss, I'd... shut my mouth while I'm ahead."

"Married?"

"Yes, he's married believe it or not. His wife Marjorie is very sick. Cancer!" She pulls up a photo of he from the local newspaper then shares it with Piper. "Beefcake am I right?" Agreed with a puckered lower lip.

"On one condition." Piper sighs thinking him handsome, "Tell him to let me buy him dinner while he's interviewing me."

"Oh, Carl would respect that." Josie frowns, "But I don't think he would meet like that because of his wife." They hear a car door outside distracting them. "Coffee's here. Want me to grab it seeing as you're not dressed." Only her shorts were back on.

"No. I got it." Piper hops up tilting her chin on her shoulder mischievously, "I've always wanted to tease a delivery man." Who was she kidding, Davon had her do it once a week. "Even I've seen those pizza exhibitionist videos. Let me have my fun."

"At least you don't have to look for cash."

"Darn. I never thought of that, I already paid with my card, tip included.". Oh, well." Josie follows loosely behind the goddess who opens her front door without care. Josie clung to the kitchen threshold to hide her topless nature. The Grub Hub delivery man bulged his eyes at her full-frontal nudity. "Hi! Sorry, the welcome mat gets delivered tomorrow."

"Wow!" The younger man explored her from head to toe.

"You have no idea how badly I need caffeine." She claims the coffee tray and smells the aroma, the croissants heavenly. "Orgasmic! I think I'll go play with myself now. Thank you..."

"Jesse?" Josie laughs, "Perfect! Just perfect."

"You two know one another?" Piper shifts a finger between the two connecting an invisible pair of dots.

"This is Carl's son Jesse."

"Hi, Mrs. McKellen. I like your friend."

"I bet you do. What are the odds? We were just talking about your father."

"I'm going to apply as Horton Dexter's new Counsellor." Piper flirted shamelessly not even hiding, "Put in a good word for me?"

"Absofuckinlutely!" Jesse whistled. "Dad is going to love you."

"Really? You think so?"

"I know so. Now I wish I hadn't graduated last year." He chuckled then wiggled his brows toward Josie. "Don't think for a second I don't miss you Josie."

"Aww! You're so cute." Agreed!

"Barely eighteen Piper." Josie frowned.

"Soooo! He's an adult." Nineteen actually!

"Can I take a pic with you to show my dad?" He drew his cell out from his pants pocket.

"JESSE!!" Josie snapped.

"Quiet down back there. Here, go drink your cappuccino." She turned to pass the tray to Josie, Jesse taking in her perfect heart shaped ass with just enough twerk for perk. "Jesse? Why don't we take a selfie together." He beamed from ear to ear and eagerly eased up close to her. Throwing her arm around his neck she leaned just enough to go cheek to cheek with the handsome young man. Her tit was right on his bicep skin to skin. Poising his camera above them he chuckled, "Say Chesty."

"Chesty." She snickered and patted his chest; the kid had chiseled pecs. "Mmmm! Work out much there Jesse?"

"I'd love to work out with you." He hissed under his breath.

"What was that?"

"Yeah. Me and dad work out at Lift KITty's. Me more than him, due to my mom's health these days. You should become a member." She didn't notice him snap a second picture tilted lower to get a good shot of her impeccable body. Hiding it behind him he disguised his mischief well. Not that she cared!

"I might just do that. Lift KITty's? Sounds kinky."

"Get in here." Josie grabbed Piper by her arm dragging her inside and began closing the door. Bringing his cell around and ready he took one last photo of her backside then gripped his tightening jeans along the crotch. With her tank top still, off he captured Josie's side boob too, nipple and all. For some reason Josie wanted the boy to witness more than he ever had before.

"I love my job." Jesse Manley darted for his delivery car sitting there in the driveway mind blown. Looking at her pics he felt like jerking off but waited. Instead, he sent a text to his best friend, well best five friends. Group text. He had to set his cell aside to drive off, the response was insane. "I have got to get her a job at the school."

"That went well, don't you think?" Piper giggled claiming her coffee from Josie who tosses the empty tray on her kitchen's island counter.

"Unexpected for sure. If that doesn't get Carl's interest nothing will. I can hear him now... Class? This is your nude... I mean new School Counsellor Piper Cherry. Anyone ever ask you if it's really Pop Her Cherry?"

"Lost that in college. Just before I met Da... ve." She altered Davon's name for safety.

"Dave was your husband?"

"Yep!"

"Do you have a photo of the two of you together?"

"Nope!" She bluntly puckered. "Past is behind me. Deleted, burnt, and bon voyage."

"Awww! You do know Jesse is going to masturbate over that picture, right?"

"I'm fine with that. Maybe his dad will too. Do you think he will still hire me after seeing it?"

"And all of Jesse's friends. Their friends. All of Nashville. And yes, Carl will still hire you. He trusts my judgment."

"Mmm! Maybe I can steal Blake Shelton from Gwen Stefani." Her eyes flared playfully.

"You love being an exhibitionist, don't you?"

"It's growing on me. To be honest I've led a pretty sheltered life." Lies as well! "I mean I liked flaunting but never nude." Mounting up! "Mostly because I didn't want to upset... Dave." By not doing it! It wasn't a lie however concerning her alone time, only when Davon had her show off. "That, and my family would not have been happy about it. Guess what? I'm 250 miles from all of them. Probably, not far enough but it's still enough to breath freely."
