Back when I was in college, I worked in a series of restaurants and bars. I had a great time, but it opened some interesting doors in my life that I've decided to share.
One door that I remember fondly reflects how little I knew about the world back then. I was working in a popular restaurant and making great money. I would work late on weekends and make upwards of $200 in tips. The place was only five miles from my off-campus apartment, the staff was a great mix of young and old, and we had some great times hanging out and drinking after the place was closed. On a related note, the management was pretty loose about letting us have a drink or three when the work was done.
I don't remember why I did so well that night, but I left with almost $300 after I tipped out the bartenders and the busboy. I stayed at the bar while everyone cashed out, making sure to draw the blinds and shut off the main lights. When everything was done, though, we were all pretty beat and ready to head out. We all walked to the parking lot together to stay safe, and waved goodbye as we got in and got ready for home. I knew I had to stop for gas, though, because I had left it until the last minute and the tank was on fumes.
After many late-night stops, the clerks at the 24-hour convenience store were all friendly and familiar to me. One of them, Jacqui, ended up being a talented masseuse as well--remind me to tell you how THAT got started! Anyway, I filled my tank, chatted with the clerk while I paid and bought some snacks, and waved as I went back to my car. From there, I made a few turns before the city petered out and the road north to the college stretched out in front of me.
I had just shifted into 3rd and was settling back for the drive when I saw her. She was walking backward up my side of the road, her arm extended and her thumb up. I would have stopped for almost anybody at that time in my life, but as I took my foot off the gas, I grew increasingly happy with my impulsive decision. She was tall and slim, and her jeans showed off her shapely legs. A white crop top left her flat belly exposed, and a leather jacket gaped widely, revealing the swell of firm, high breasts. All of that was capped with an oval face framed by brown, curly hair and a knowing smile. She wasn't beautiful, but she looked smart and sexy and...intriguing as I pulled over onto the side of the road.
By the time she made it to the passenger door, I had the window down.
"Need a ride back to campus?" I asked with my friendliest smile. My assumption was that anyone headed north at that time on night on that road was a college student who got stuck downtown for some reason.
Instead of replying right away, she grinned more broadly and leaned both forearms on the bottom of the window opening. Her top fell forward as she leaned down, revealing an inviting swath of creamy skin and a good view of her cleavage. I tried not to gape too blatantly, but my eyes flicked from her face to the offered swell of her breasts and back again as I waited for a response. She grinned at my perturbed state, knowing full well the effect she was having on me.
"I'm not really hitchhiking," she said in a soft voice.
A car whooshed past us on the road, startling me with the sudden buffet of air. That brought me a moment to consider, though, and I came up with a good reply.
"Oh..." said, thoroughly confused by what she told me.
"Oh," she said teasingly, smiling to take the sting out of it. "So if you want to give me a ride back to campus, that's great, but you have to pay me if anything happens along the way."
"Oh!" I answered, much enlightened.
"So would you like to get a better look at these," she said, nodding down toward her cleavage, "or should I let you go and find another ride home?"
She watched me expectantly, her face calm.
Now, I knew there was prostitution in the city, and I had even seen some wizened-looking crackheads lurking on corners near the projects. This, however, was something else entirely. Even though I had NO idea what I was getting into, I could only answer one question at a time.
"I would LOVE to see more of those!" I croaked, clicking the unlock button after a blind fumble with my left hand.
Her smile returned, and with a quick, graceful step, she opened the door, turned sideways, and slipped into the seat in a few seconds. The door clicked shut quietly and she pulled on her seatbelt. I sat there looking at her, not knowing what to say or do next, but my heart was racing.
"Drive, will you?" she said, nodding toward the empty road in front of us.
"Absolutely!" I told her, shifting into first and checking my mirrors.
As soon as we got back up to speed, she turned sideways to face me, her back against the door and her knees pointed at my side of the compartment. The wind from the open window whipped her hair and her eyes looked huge in the blue glow of the dashboard lights.
"You're not a cop, are you?" she asked evenly.
"No!" I assured her eagerly. Then my mind clicked into gear a tiny bit. "You're not a cop either, are you?" I asked.
"Definitely not," she said firmly. "But here's the deal. A quick visit is $25, half-and-half is $50, and if you want a whole around the world it's $100 for one pop."
I was no innocent when it came to sex, but I had no idea what she was talking about. So I threw myself at the mercy of the court.
"I have NO idea what any of that means, but I definitely want to find out!" I assured her.
She laughed only a moment at my ignorance. Then she returned to a more businesslike tone.
"Do you have $100?" she asked me.
"I do."
"Good," she said. "Then we can have a little party if you want, and I'll do whatever you want to get you off. Does that sound good?"
Her hand reached across the center console and came to rest on the dense black khaki of my waitering pants. Her fingers trailed down the inside corner of my thigh to my knee, then reversed course and followed the same line upward until they brushed along the crease of my hip and the backs of her knuckles grazed my hardening cock.
"That sounds great!" I gasped as she made contact with my package.
Her hand withdrew. "First things first. My name is Jessica," she said briskly, her palm now upward in the universal gesture that says, "pay me" in any language.
