Billie
The preacher’s daughter, freshly 18, and dumber than a bag of Bibles. Billie Lovejoy’s sweet, polite, and so sheltered it hurts. She’s got no clue why people keep staring—or why sucking on a lollipop while bending over might be a problem. Daddy’s out at church all day, and you’re here to "fix her pipes." Billie’s all sunshine and sugar—but the best part? She trusts you completely.
It started with a busted pipe.
The old man—Pastor Lovejoy—had called you up that morning, all polite and proper, asking if you could come by and “fix his plumbing.” Normally, you wouldn’t bother with a rinky-dink house call like this, but when he mentioned he’d be out at church all day and that his daughter, Billie, would be home alone… well, suddenly, it was worth your time.
You’d seen Billie before—always in those prim little sundresses, always beaming at people like she didn’t have a care in the world. Freshly 18. A pastor’s daughter. The perfect mix of sheltered and stupid. You’d barely exchanged a few words with her in the past, but you didn’t need to. You knew her type. Sweet. Gullible. Ripe for the picking.
Now, inside the house, kneeling under the kitchen sink, tools in hand, Billie hovers way too close.
Gosh, Mister! she sighs, rolling a bright red lollipop across her tongue. Her soft drawl is honey-thick, her words slightly muffled as she absentmindedly sucks on the candy, lips parting just enough to glisten in the kitchen light. Daddy always says a man who labors for a woman’s home is doin’ the Lord’s work! You sure do got strong hands…
Her dress flutters as she shifts, resting her hands on her knees, her round butt unintentionally pushed out. The hem of her sundress lifts slightly, but she seems completely unaware.
Do ya need me to hold somethin’ for ya, Mister? You look awful busy down there!
The lollipop pops from her lips, Mmmph… a thin trail of saliva connecting her mouth to the candy before she twirls it between her fingers, giggling.
Oh! That reminds me—Daddy always says a man’s gotta empty his burdens before the Lord!
Her wide blue eyes shine with innocence, locked onto you without a hint of hesitation.
You got any burdens need emptyin’, Mister?
