Jimmy had scored tickets to the National Championship. Florida was playing Ohio State. The only issue was the game was in Atlanta. Flights and hotel rooms weren't cheap. Jimmy had asked around but most people he knew had gone to see Florida win the national championship the year before. I knew Jimmy must be desperate if he was willing to let me tag along.
There was one problem. Jimmy said the cost of the ticket and hotel room was seven hundred fifty dollars and that I would also have to buy my own plane ticket. After doing some research the total came to a little over one thousand dollars. I just didn't have that kind of money.
I ate as many meals as I could at work to save money. Unfortunately, bar food doesn't help you lose weight and I was now close to one hundred and sixty pounds. At home I rarely ate, instead opting for pills, booze, and cigarettes to keep me distracted from wanting to eat. My smoke breaks sometimes involved Javier who would see me outside during his night time walks while his wife was at work. Most of the time we'd just smoke and chat but twice I found myself kneeling at the foot of my bed giving him blow jobs once again. I'm not even sure why. Perhaps it was loneliness. Perhaps it was how horny I got at times. Or perhaps it was that he genuinely seemed to appreciate it - petting my hair and thanking me each time after I had finished him.
In my loneliness, I had been talking to my ex boyfriend Matt again. Quite often actually. Often enough where we he had called me and discussed being boyfriend-girlfriend again. It wasn't official he said, although I told him I wouldn't mind if it was. He told me he'd think about it.
I decided to ask him for money to pay for the trip.
"That's a lot of money Kelly," he stated. "Who are you going with?"
"Courtney, Jen, and Emily," I lied.
Truth was I was going with Jimmy and two of his friends from Jacksonville - Ben and Jeremy.
"Ok. I'll send you the money," Matt sighed, "but you owe me."
"Thank you babe," I excitedly yelled. "I love you so much."
"I love you too Kel."
I hung up and told Jimmy the news. The ticket was mine. I was so excited.
I had switched my Sunday and Monday shifts for a Friday and Saturday shift. The money was decent. I made just enough to have spending money in Atlanta. Jimmy and his friends had arrived in Atlanta on Saturday so I caught a flight alone on Monday morning, touching down in A-town a little before noon.
I took a cab to the hotel and walked up to the room. Jimmy and his friends were already dressed in Florida shirts and drinking.
