It was a Saturday night and Brandy was striding angrily down the side of the illuminated street, her fists still clenched from her anger. She had had enough of that jerk Chad to last a lifetime. And when she had stormed out of his car a few blocks back, screaming for him to stay the fuck away from her, she was pretty sure he finally got the message.
She was pretty much into her own thoughts as the headlights from the large rig behind her caught her in their bright light. Glancing back for a moment, a slender hand reaching up to shield her eyes, she stepped further off the road to let it pass, surprised when it started to slow down and stop just past where she had stopped. It wasn't like Brandy to take a ride from a stranger and where she would have just kept walking, the passenger door pushed open and she stepped forward a bit, if nothing else, to just glance into the truck. She was surprised to see a ruggedly good-looking guy looking down at her with a grin. He was dressed in faded blue jeans with a rip here and there and an undershirt that clung in all the right places. It was obvious that he took very good care of his body. His short, brown hair peeked out from beneath the faded trucker's hat that he had on but what she saw beneath it is what took her breath away.
He was gorgeous ... in that rugged, simplistic kind of way. Bright cerulean blue eyes gazed back at her over a rugged grin. Even feeling somewhat nervous about taking a ride from someone she didn't know, it was getting really too late for a woman, especially her age, to be walking down the road alone. He glanced around some before speaking in a deep friendly voice, "Everything okay, hon?"
Brandy's nerves were on edge enough with the fight that she and Chad had just gone through not to mention having to hike home the couple of miles back to her apartment. Moving towards the open door with a somewhat distraught look on her face, she rested one hand on the door as she looked up once more to the friendly guy that couldn't have been much older than her own twenty-four years. "I ... I stormed out of my boyfriend's car a ways back," she tried to explain.
"Well, hop on in," he said, offering his hand to help her up with a smile. "I won't bite."
Brandy's teeth toyed with her lower lip nervously as she hesitated for a moment and then gently slid her hand into his, pulling herself up into the truck to have a seat. Running a nervous hand through long blonde hair before reaching for the door to shut it gently, she managed to say, "Thanks."
"It's no problem, hon," he said as he started to drive again, his hand still clasped to hers as he shook it gently. "My name is Steven, by the way."
Brandy glanced over at him with a small smile, starting to relax some as her fingers tightened on his momentarily as he shook it. "Thanks for the ride, Steven. I'm Brandy"
"Well it's a pleasure, Brandy," he said, lifting her hand to his lips to place a gentle charming kiss to it before slowly letting it go. "So, where ya headed?"
She smiled gently, watching his lips lower to her hand and couldn't help but wonder why guys these days didn't show that kind of charm. Then glancing ahead at the road said, "Oh, uhmmm ... if you just drop me off at the first truck stop, I can call my friend to come get me and take me home. I wouldn't want to put you out."
"Oh it's no problem. I don't mind at all ... just a nice gesture," he said with a smile, getting a feeling that she was somewhat impressed with his manners. "I'm sure you would do the same for me," he added.
Brandy couldn't help but smile, charmed by the trucker's manners as she looked at him. "Well, if you are sure you don't mind ..." she trailed off as she pointed towards the next turn off. "My apartment complex is just down the road a couple of miles."
Steven followed the exit, turning off the highway, glancing over to the beautiful younger girl in his truck. His attention was captured for a moment by the shifting of her long sexy legs beneath the shortness of her blue jean mini skirt, his eyes traveling down her tanned legs to the strappy sandals tied around her ankles and then back up across her flat belly and the piercing that glimmered in the passing car lights, up over her beaded halter top to take in her long blonde hair. He cleared his throat some, turning his head as he tried to focus on the road. "So, what do you do Brandy? Got a job? School?"
Brandy watched the road some before glancing over to him with a soft smile. "Both," she said. "I'm taking the last of my college requirements for my master's degree but I work too. I gotta pay for my apartment somehow." She added a gentle laugh at the last part, thinking about her job as an exotic dancer and how there would have been a time she would have been mortified to do it but it DID bring in a lot of money. "Are you from around here or just passing through?" she asked as he drove.
"Just passing through," he said, keeping his eyes on the road this time as he spoke. "I actually don't have an exact home. I drive quite a lot so it saves me a lot of money. Soon I'll stop doing this and have a better job," he said, almost like he was dreaming out loud and then caught himself, shaking his head some before he glanced over at Brandy, catching her gaze on him and immediately got lost in the depths of her blue gaze. "But ... uhh, that's nice ... you know, about you ...uhh, getting a master's and all."
Brandy smiled gently as she found his eyes on her, their gazes locked momentarily as blonde ringlets of hair seemed to frame her tanned face and then breaking the moment, pointed again as her eyes shifted back to the road. "There it is!" she exclaimed. "Those apartments there ... on the right. Just drive through the main gate and press 6432 into the box. That's our code to get in and the gates should just swing open."
Steven shook his head some, trying to stay focused on driving instead of the girl's beauty sitting beside him. "Right ... right," he mumbled some, turning into the drive and rolling down the window. He had to lean somewhat out the window to reach the computer keyboard to punch in the numbers before they could drive through.
"It's just down the hill, around this first building and right across the pool ... building 14," Brandy explained, pointing out the way some as he drove, glancing over to him with a smile. "You're really sweet to bring me home."
"It really is no problem," Steven said as he parked in front of Building 14, stopping the truck and taking up more than one parking space. "Is this it?" he asked, turning some to look at her.
Brandy glanced up at the building and then smiled, turning to face Steven some as she gathered her purse from where it had dropped to the floorboard of the truck. He could see the sparkle in her blue eyes as the moonlight seemed to touch her face in a soft, bathing caress. "Yes it is. I don't know how to thank you for saving me from having to walk the entire way home," she said. There was a moment of silence as she glanced up at the building again, fumbling for her keys for a moment before she added, "Do you wanna come up? The least I could do is offer you something to drink."
Steven grinned, glancing at his watch momentarily like he had to be somewhere by a certain time but then surprised her with, "Uhhhh, yeah ... that would be nice." Smiling he opened the door and before Brandy could do the same, he had walked over to her side and opened the door for her. He could see the surprise in her eyes as again, manners ruled the night where he was concerned.
Taking his outstretched hand, Brandy slid out of the door, her short skirt traveling dangerously high on her thighs, giving him a momentary peek at a hint of her pink thong beneath the skirt before she stood, her hand straightening the skirt. The brushing past him, the hint of her perfume seeming to beckon him to follow as she said, "It's upstairs on the second floor."
Steven followed her willingly, almost as if in trance from the burning thought of the hint of thong lingering in his mind and the scent of her perfume lingering in his nose. "Do you have the apartment to yourself?" he asked as his gaze was drawn to the natural rock and dip motion of Brandy's hips, an appreciative smile appearing as he tried to keep up with her sure steps.
