As I drove along the highway I began to ask myself the question that had already been asked about a million times in the short hour and a half I’d been in the car, “Why, again, am I doing this?” I knew the answer each and every time, “Because I want to, I need to.” Clearing my thoughts and tuning in the lousiest song on the radio I just concentrate on getting there. Seeing the turn-off sign a mile ahead I again feel a slight gripping fear, maybe it’s because this is the first time I’d ever considered doing this and the fact that he didn’t even know I was coming down. What if he was busy? How could I explain being “in the neighborhood” when my neighborhood was in a different state.
Blocking it out once again I swallowed my fear with a slight smile on my face, realizing that once he did see me, he’d probably be too surprised to care. Turning on to a main road I began looking in all directions for my destination, feeling I’d hit the twilight zone. No comforting blue signs that pointed you in the right direction were to be seen. Great, just great. I could see me getting lost and no one to call but my roommate who was against me coming here in the first place.
I’d almost given up hope when I spotted it in the corner of a strip mall on my left. It was mid afternoon on a weekday and everyone was either at school or work, good thing because I don’t remember looking as I changed lanes. As I pulled in the parking lot a knot formed in my stomach. Staring at the cheesy décor of the Texan-style restaurant, I had a sudden fit of the giggles. Another question leapt in my mind, “Why are you hot for a guy that works in a place like this?” But I knew that answer too, “Because we were bored, together.”
Getting out of the car seemed to be the next feat in a life-long line of them. The restaurant had just opened about twenty minutes ago, so no one was there and the headwaiter greeted me with a smile that was, as I say, plastered on with pain. I told him that I was just looking for someone and wouldn’t be long. Glancing around the restaurant I scanned for him. There he was. I hate to admit it but seeing the back of him sent a spread of warmth over me that seemed to gyrate into my pussy.
He was behind the bar doing, what I could only guess was inventory. Taking a breath I strode to the bar, my hips swaying with sexual confidence underneath my blue strapless sundress. He hadn’t seen me yet, so I took the opportunity to pore over his adorable backside. I decided I would say my opening line before he even had seen that it was me. “Excuse me, do you know where the closest available hotel is located?”
He turned to answer and my breath caught. I was staring into the most beautiful dark eyes I’d ever seen. Slow realization passed over his face as he recognized me from my picture. “Lucy?”
I simply replied, “Rob.”
A smile that melted away any more of my fears graced his face. “So, you need to know where the nearest hotel is huh, why is that?” He smirked at me, teasing me. He knew damn well why.
I quirked an eyebrow and said, “Because I believe fucking in public is against the law in this state.” Boy did that get his attention, his eyes got wide before he started chuckling at my blunt response.
