The Pharmacist's Son: June 6th, 1944 By PlanetDweller mf, teen, menarche, surprise, pet, petting, sex education, caution, WWII era "Hi June-Bug, what's up?" "Bobby Ray, you gotta help, you just gotta help me, I'm in trouble, deep trouble!" my best friend since second grade if she was a girl almost cried as she almost ran towards the pharmacy counter in the back of the store that was my domain for the next couple of days, my mother having had to go to Granny G's in upstate New York to take care of her Granny G having apparently had another stroke and dear old dad being called up to his Coast Guard Reserve unit a couple of weeks ago despite his pull and connections. "Slow down, June-y, slow down, tell me what's happened" I coming out from behind the counter as my lone previous customer in our pharmacy near Baltimore's main port complex made his way outside, his WP (whore's penicillin, for treating "the clap") prescription in-hand. "Bobby Ray, I'm scared, I'm just so scared, help me!" I didn't know what to think. She couldn't have been pregnant, not at thirteen, same age as I was. Well, she could have been pregnant, could have been, though unlikely. Being the son of a pharmacist working in his dad and mom's drug dispensary all his life means you know more of the world and people than most guys my same age, especially when your mom and dad think they're doing you a favor by sitting down with you once a year since you were seven or eight and going over page-for-page, word-for-word with you with an explicit sex and marriage manual, one with lots of photos and drawings. Yeah, right. Yuck is right. "Slow down, June, tell me what's wrong. I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong." "Bobby Ray, I just started bleeding, you know, 'down there' and it won't stop, it just won't stop. Can you take me to the hospital? Where's you mom and dad, can they take me?" Couldn't help but smile when after a minute or two of actually considering calling a cab to take her uptown to Johns Hopkins Emergency Clinic that it hit me what was "wrong" with her. Couldn't help but smile. "Mom had to go back to New York 'cause Granny G had another stroke and dad was called up to his Coastie unit a couple of weeks ago." "Damn!" she grabbing her stomach area and almost doubling over as Mrs. Thomasin, an old and frequent customer opened the front door and came in to pick up her weekly tincture of mercuric cloride cream and prescription for her Halodal tranquilizers. "Go back to dad's office and let me take care of Mrs. Thomasin and I'll be right there but don't panic, you'll be fine, you are fine, I'll explain later" she shooting a puzzled and disbelieving look. Two Merchant Marine sailors came in looking for under-the- counter penicillin prescriptions. I told them that with the war and all that penicillin was almost impossible to get and without a doctor's prescription it was illegal to give it to them, like they didn't know that. It wasn't much of a fib. We were out of penicillin pills and wouldn't get any more for two more months and only had four vials of aqueous penicillin left in the Frigidaire which was meant for doctors' use only. "You here by yourself, kid?" Not good. Two burly sailors and me, a thirteen year old boy, alone in the store except for June-Bug waiting for me in dad's office. Of course, a customer could walk in any minute and they didn't seem threatening, just irritated. "Maybe. Yeah, I am, but my dad who owns this place will be back shortly." "Wanna make twenty the easy way, kid?" "And another twenty from me too, kid?" the more pleasant one asked. "Well, maybe, depends on what I have to do." Yeah, they got my attention. Sailors or not, they didn't look like the type that would be looking for guy-sucks from a young kid like myself. When you're raised in a port town close the actual port, you learn all sorts of adult stuff when you're a kid. You keep your guard up and don't be pushed around. But you also learn to hear people out. "Look, we're getting ready to make a run to Liverpool and there's a good chance we'll buy the cold water farm from a sub attack before we get there. We both picked up the clap from the same whore a couple of weeks ago down in Jacksonville but we want to be clean for some new whores if we do make it to Liverpool. I got a twenty if you got some penni-pills or a shot" he flashing a worn but legal Jackson at me. "And I got a gold eagle, a genuine twenty dollar gold piece for you if you got some for me, too, kid" he holding up the first twenty dollar gold piece I had ever seen. "You got yourselves a cure, gentleman, if you don't mind me giving you the shots myself, I don't have any penicillin pills left." "We don't care, kid." Ten minutes later I had given the first injections I had ever given a fellow human being and was forty dollars richer and couldn't help but smile at myself. Dad would be proud. No, dad would be angry. I had used way too much serum in the shots I'm sure, 'hope I didn't hurt those guys, and basically ruined a near-impossible-to-obtain vial of penicillin for my own greed, couldn't sell that one as new. Well, maybe I could, add some sterile water later, 'hope the doctor who would buy it wouldn't notice the three fine needle punctures on the top rubber plug. Damn, June-Y! I had completely forgotten about her in my fog of temporary greed. "Bobby Ray, where have you been, I've been sitting here bleeding to death and go off an leave me" her irritation with me matched only by her unfounded fear that she was indeed slowly bleeding to death. I do wish my mom was here. She could explain things better than me for sure. I wish her mom was here to explain things to her but she had died when June-Bug was only eight and her dad, well, her dad was her dad and I knew he had been working double and even triple shifts at the shipyard for some months now, being too crippled to serve in the armed services but not too crippled to wire up electrical and instrumentation systems for the liberty and other ships that were being cranked out of the shipyard on an almost daily basis. He wasn't exactly the kind of dad to sit down with his young daughter and explain "the facts of life" to her in any case and I knew that. But my mom wasn't here and neither was hers and dad, well, dad was on a Coastie cruiser somewhere out patrolling and definitely wasn't here. At least I knew the basics. "First we gotta get you cleaned up" her blood now having soaked through her dress and leaving a small stain on the leather upholstered other chair that sat across dad's desk in his office "and then you and I will have a talk but relax, you're not bleeding to death" my arm around her trying to comfort her as best I could. She looked at me like still couldn't, didn't quite believe me but then smiled at me. "You sure?" "None of your girlfriends at school have got their periods yet?" we now sitting down on the leather couch at the far side of the room, she bundling the hem of her blood-stained-dress up a bit underneath her butt to catch more of the flow. "Uh, no, I guess not, what's a period? And how can you be sure I'm not going to bleed to death?" Hhhmmm. Time for "the manual". I knew dad kept some for sale back in the store room for the occasional special customer, "Dr. Jones Discusses Marriage & Male & Female Sexuality", the one I've been routinely annually bored to death with since I was younger during mom and dad's "talks" with me. "Let me go flip the sign out from to 'back to lunch in one hour' and get some supplies and I'll be right back, you just stay here and stay calm, okay?" my lips kissing her on her forehead as I got up from the couch. A box of Kotex, a sanitary belt in "small" waist size, some towels and washcloths from the small housewares section up front, a bottle of Mrs. Grimwald's Witch Hazel solution, a copy of "the manual", a pan of water from the drug prep area in the back, and a couple of condoms in my pocket just in case. Well, a guy can hope, can't he? "First thing we need to do is get you out of these clothes, they're too bloody, c'mon, out of them, now, June-Eee" my orders barked as I put the supplies down on dad's desk. "But, but you'll see me naked then! You'll see my boobies and my teeny-wee!" she protested as she curled up a little more on the couch, still clothed in her bloody swaddling dress. "Look, I've been helping dad out here since I was eight, you know that, I've seen lots of naked women since I was a kid, you know pharmacists do all the time" I deadpanned in reply, never having told a more whopper of lie nor a better one before or since, never having seen a live naked girl before of course except in my wildest of wet dreams but she was even more of a kid than me and bought it hook, line and sinker, slowly disrobing. "What will I do for clean clothes? My dress is ruined, just ruined. I can't go home with blood all over the back" she sighing deeply as she now stood before in her white cotton panties and training bra, her panties crimson almost totally from the blood soaking up as well as down. "C'mon, off with those soaked panties and bra too while you're at it." "Why do I need to take off my bra? It's not got blood on it." Good point! Women, even girls can be so logical at times. "Because I'm going to use one of dad's manuals to teach you about sex, about periods, about your body and you need to be naked for me to do that." "Well, okay" she cutting her eyes at me like even she didn't believe that one "but no funny stuff, your word, promise me on your life, Bobby Ray Inman." "My word June-Eee, now, out of that bra and panty, please." Jingle-jingle, tinkle-tinkle. Damn front door. Must have forgot to lock it and someone walked in despite the gone-to-lunch sign. Yep, it was old Mr. Stamey from the neighborhood, coming by to pick up his hemorrhoid cream I forgot to deliver yesterday, something I always did on time because he always tipped me a quarter but having to run the store with both dad and mom gone and all the while pretend that they'd be right back and fill prescriptions just like dad had taught me and run the store and well, damn, I can't remember to do everything but he wasn't mad, just wanted his needed tail-cr�me. He smiled as I whipped him up a batch and still tipped me my usual quarter-buck, I giving him another week's supply for free to apologize for any inconvenience I had accidentally put him through, telling him the truth about dad being called up and mom having to go upstate and he understanding. I had a live, nearly-naked girl back in dad's office just waiting for me to feel her up and I tried to get him to leave but had to listen to some of the same old stories about him serving in France in Doubya- Doubya-One that I normally smiled and listened to for the umpteenth time when I delivered his medicine to his house because he was a nice old man but durn it, June-Eee in the flesh was waiting for me. He somehow managed to kill an hour before leaving, two more customers coming in and leaving during that time despite the out to lunch sign, they seeing him talking with me inside and coming on in, durn them. When I got back to dad's office June-Bug was now completely naked and sitting in dad's chair and shoot, not even I dare sit in his chair, a couple of clean towels under her butt to catch her flow, her head buried in "the manual" and not hearing me come in at first. "Is this all there is, Bobby? Why didn't you tell me? This men-stroo-a- shun stuff is nothing, no big deal. Why didn't you tell me?" her face shooting me a look between puzzlement and something else, I'm not sure what exactly. "Well, I was going to, but Mr. Stamey came on in despite the gone-to- lunch sign and I didn't have a chance to, and . . . " the tenor of frustration in my voice rising as I knew with each passing second my chance to cop some feels at least and maybe more, the condoms in my pocket still yelling their names out to me, were riding off into the sunset. "And you were very sweet getting me all this stuff. Bobby Ray, it's okay. C'mon, you can still help me. I don't mind if you get a feel or two, it's okay." "You sure?" my pecker now becoming closer to peckerwood in my pants which I'm sure she noticed. "Yeah, it's okay. I've cleaned myself up while you were out. Want to see?" "Yeah!" I couldn't help but vocally-fart out, she spreading her legs for me as she sat naked in dad's chair, allowing me to get on my knees in front of her so I could her pussy, a tiny of trickle of blood running down the bottom of her slit to her hinny-crack. "Like? Want to touch it?" "Uh, yeah! You don't mind, June-Eee, you sure?" "No, Bobby, I don't mind, touch it, it's okay" my fingers playing with her lips some, one then two fingers working their way inside her which produced a pleasant moan from her, the odor of her young womanhood in full bloom being produced from deep inside her as my fingers opened up her secret sanctum. "Like? Hurt?" "Yes, I mean, no, yes, I like, no, it's doesn't hurt, push them in deeper, please." "What about your hymen? Aren't you worried about not being a virgin?" Where the fuck did that come from? I hadn't even bothered to look for her hymen after knelling before her temple of new womanhood, let alone think about it. Looking as best I could while frigging her a little, it wasn't there, not that I recognized at least. "No, silly, a virgin is a virgin as long as she doesn't take a penis into her vagina according to the manual and I'm not going to take a penis into my vagina until I'm married, silly" she leaning her head back while my fingers slipped in and out her, my hand now pink then almost red with her new blood. "Well, okay" Where was a minister to marry you on the spot when you needed one? "Touch my clit-hour-ess, please, Bobby." What was I, her servant? Well, yeah, right then at that moment I was, if I wanted to have any chance of getting a home run with her. All things considered, hitting a triple, going right to third base wasn't a bad at-bat, not at all. "I want" I somehow coughed out as my fingers lightly rubbed her clit, her own blood providing sweet-smelling lubrication. "What do you want, Bobby?" she smiling, no, grinning down at me, naked, sitting in dad's chair still, he'd kill me if he ever found out. "I want to, I want to have inner-course with you, June-Buggy." "You mean inter-course, not inner-course. I told you I was going to wait until I'm married for that. But I'll touch you some, touch your penis some if you'd like." "Uh, yeah, I'd like", well, duh? "Help me figure out this belt-thing and Kotex-thing and then we can play some more, okay?" We laughed like two children playing in a new sandbox full of wondrous new things discovered like we did when we both were little and she moved in across the street from us, my mom becoming friends with her mom before her mom died, we two going to school together during the day and playing at nearby Griffith Park after school and on weekends as our moms were moms and stayed near us. It took us some doing to figure the geometry of her belted pad out, how to work the belt hooks with the extended tab-ends of the pad to where it was center more or less underneath her pussy, she letting me cop all the feels I wanted of both her pussy and of her breasts, she kissing me a few times as my hands roamed over my first real pair of breasts and touched my first real pussy if it was bleeding some a little, I couldn't have cared less. "Dad'll be home at ten tonight. If I give you my house key, can you go get me a clean dress and some clean underwear, clean panties?" "Yeah, no problem." "Want me to touch you, Bobby, like I promised I would?" "Yeah." I stood in front of her as she sat on the couch, her body as virginally naked as a newly-born which in many ways she was, her breasts heaving with her deep breaths as her hands cupped my pecker and stroked it, the odor from her bleeding twat and the sight of her sanitary belt and pad below me just sending me, well, just sending me, my sperm soon leaking into her hand then squirting onto her face, she not minding at all, giggling as she wiped it off her face and wiped it back on my clean pants, yeah, like I cared. "Thanks, June-Eee, that was nice." "Yeah, it was. Like?" she grinning, beaming at me. "Yeah, like. Can we do it again?" "Maybe later, another day, we'll see. I've just become a woman today and my best friend in the whole world helped me and he couldn't have been more of a gentleman about things. Thanks, my best friend" she rising from the couch to hug me, my cock-eee-cock also rising again as we just hugged and lightly kissed each other for a couple of minutes. "I know it has to be after five. I need to go flip the 'closed' sign on and do the register real quick and make sure everything's locked up. Gimme your house key and I'll run get you a clean dress. Oh, I've heard dad say that hydrogen peroxide and water along with Octagon soap will take period blood out of almost any fabric, I've got lots of it here, I'll give you some to take home so you can try to save that dress." "Thanks, Bobby Ray, you are my true friend" she kissing me firmly on the lips while teasingly grabbing my cock which was now half-hard- plus sticking through my trouser's fly still. "And you're mine, June-Bug. Let me run, I'll be right back." June put on her clean dress fetched from home in the privacy of dad's office, putting her old bloody one into the shopping bag I had brought the clean one in, putting the old messy towels and washcloths in with her stained dress along with her sanitary supplies and the couple of bottles of hydrogen peroxide I had given her, and then came out to the worktable behind the actual pharmacy counter where I was busy whipping up some easy-to-prepare prescriptions that were due to be picked up tomorrow and that were simple enough that dad trusted me to make correctly. Then, the click of a key hitting the front door lock and the sight of mom standing there, slightly angry with me but more worried than anything. Damn, she was back before she even left good, left yesterday and she was already back, damn. Well, at least she hadn't arrived back an hour or two earlier, thank God for small favors at least. "Young man, young man!" she scolded "you know you're supposed to lock the shop up precisely at five and go straight home, you're in trouble now!" "But mom!" "But mom nothing young man!" she wagging her finger at me as I came out from behind the counter and June followed me.' "Hello June, tell your father we said 'hello', excuse us now, we have to go home." "Mrs. Hobbs, the reason that Bobby's here is my fault, my dad burned his hand really bad while doing some welding down at the yard and you know how tight our money's been and Bobby here was just whipping some burn cr�me up for him, weren't you Bobby?" Mom could see right through that. She knew June-Eee was lying, that we were lying. She also noticed the shopping bag full of stuff, June's old dress at the top of it but fortunately not a side that had a blood stain showing, at June's side but didn't comment on it. She relaxed, smile a little, and let things slide, lucky for us. "Is that true, young man? Well, that was very nice of you to do, you're to be complimented. We did raise a nice young man, didn't we, June?" she turning to leave as we followed her out of the cool of the shop into the stickiness of the dank Baltimore Harbor's evening air. "Yes, you certainly did Mrs. Hobbs, which is why he and I have been best friends since second grade and will be best pals forever" she putting her arm around my waist innocently and I putting my arm around her shoulder in turn and mom's waist also me being between my two favorite women in the world as we all walked down the sidewalk to home, our homes, and our futures to come. ~~~ To visit my homepage where you'll find more interesting stories like the one above, please click on: https://www.asstr-mirror.org/files/Authors/PlanetDweller/www And Thanks!, Yours, PlanetDweller ~~~The PharmacistsSon
