New Toy

Her excitement overcame her as soon as she woke up! She had the house to herself all morning and couldn't wait to try it. She hoped to use it at least 3 times before her girlfriend got home. Sarah doesn't like it when she uses them too much. She had just bought her newest one yesterday, shamelessly walking to the checkout. The kid behind the counter was kind of gross, with his two day old hair and shoddy heavy metal t-shirt, hanging like it had been there since he last showered. The same guy was there last week when she was buying another one.

"I see you like the ones that buzz," he had quipped, looking at her with a half smile.

'Shut up,' she remembered thinking, 'you don't know me well enough to comment on what I buy!' But she hadn't said anything, she had just smiled a brilliant smile, paid the kid, and left.

She jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. She had left it under the mirror last night before she went to sleep. As she grabbed the end of it with her left hand, turning it on and off a couple times to make sure it was working, she started the faucet with her right. Smiling in the mirror, she reached for the paste and spread it on her brand new toy without looking. She turned it on as she raised it to her face, sighing as if a great load lifted from her shoulders at that very moment. She loved the first brush with a brand new toothbrush.
