Chapter Eight-Part 1
Simone remembered the exact moment her life experienced and epiphany—she'd looked that word up in the dictionary after reading the article in Mademoiselle Magazine. She'd been at Suzie's Hair Salon, getting a perm that fried her already fried, unnaturally red, frizzy, long hair. To take her mind off her painful burning scalp, she'd picked up the magazine and begun to read the article that was all but screaming at her, "Know Your Assets." The message couldn't have been any more clear to her. Do what you're good at. Change what you don't like about yourself. And use you assets to get what you want. But, most of all, go for it.
She took every word to heart, and to this day she carried the stolen magazine with her wherever she went. It was always tucked inside her Vuitton rip-off bag next to the brand-new mobile phone she'd spent two whole hundred dollars on so she could get three months' free phone service, as long as it was in the U.S. of A.
Simone liked to think she was gifted with ESP, and after reading that article, she could plainly see she was destined for great things. It was all going to begin happening for her in just two days' time when she checked herself into Hilltop. The motel's rates were a little steep, but it was worth it. The Hilltop sat across the highway from the doctor's office, and she wouldn't have so far to walk after the surgery was done.
Because she'd bought herself the phone—she'd seen a picture of Heidi Fleiss with a mobile phone in her hand and figured it was an important asset every girl ought to have if she was going to go places—she was still shy two hundred dollars of the twenty-four hundred she needed to get her boob job. She was carrying all of the twenty-two hundred with her. She didn't dare take the chance of hiding any of her money in the trailer, where her stepfather could sniff it out like a trained hound dog with his beet-red, twice-broken, alkie nose. He'd just go on another one of his drunken sprees, which always ended up in jail. If he didn't find it, her mother certainly would. She was always snooping through Simone's things for more damning evidence to prove her daughter was still a whore. Then she'd feel it was her duty to donate all the cash to that screaming redemption preacher she watch on television all the time. No, Simone didn't take any chances with the hard-earned money that guaranteed to change her future. She had it all with her and all in cash. She'd divided the money in half and stuffed eleven hundred dollars in each one of her size 32AA Wonderful cups, which weren't doing anything remotely wonderful to her figure, as flat-chested as she was. New boobs were going to change all that, of course. She was sure of it.
Going for it and changing what you could change—that's what success was all about. Like most eighteen-year-old girls, she had big dreams. She had always been very goal oriented, and big boobs were an integral part of her future plans. She'd never told anyone, not even her best friend, Kripa, that her biggest dream of all was to be the centerfold in Playboy magazine. Penthouse was a step down, and so was Hustler, but she'd settle for either one of those centerfold too. All the men in Sugar Creek read those magazines—well, they didn't really read them. They took them into the bathroom with them so they would get off while they gawked at naked women, and she just knew their eyes were going to bug right out of their heads when they saw her in all her naked beauty smiling coyly out at them with her new size 36D boobs.
She didn't have any idea what kind of money could be made in centerfold work, but it had to be a lot more than she was making now lap dancing. She was never the customer's first choice, and she knew it had to be because she was so flat-chested. Akhi, one of the other girls, always made three times what she did in tips, but then she was full-figured, and men liked to burrow their faces in between her enormous boobs. Simone had had to supplement her income by giving blow jobs out back, behind the dumpster. She was real talented with her mouth—just ask any of the boys back in Sugar Creek, or for that matter the doctor who was going to give her new boobs. He'd been so impressed with her skills; he'd reduced the price of the implants. Simone guessed she'd have to impress the doctor again to get a further discount of the two hundred dollars she was lacking, and if he balked about it, she'd just have to threaten to have a chat with his prim little wife, who had been sitting a couple of feet away at the front desk answering the doctor's phone while Simone was inside the cubicle lathering up the good doctor's privates. One way or another, she was going to get her new size 36D boobs in just two days' time.
The flat tire was a temporary setback, and as she stood on the side of the highway furiously working the wad of gum in her mouth, she spotted a van coming toward her. She wasn't going to have to use her new phone to call a tow service after all. Tugging her hot pink, spandex skirt down, she propped her hand on the tilt of her hip, balanced herself regally on the hot pink stiletto heels that killed her feet but made her legs look good, and pretended to be a helpless woman in need of assistance.
She hoped a man was driving the van because she could always get any man to do anything she wanted once he understood how talented she was. Squinting into the sun, she let out a loud sigh of relief when the van pulled to a stop behind her car and she saw the handsome man smiling at her.
Simone Saxena straightened up, put on her best come-hitter expression, and sashayed over to the van.
Just as she had predicted, her life was about to radically change.
