Living in a military town you'll see loads of servicemen wandering around with nothing to do. They're new to the place. They don't know anybody.
Most importantly, they're lonely.
Not to make it sound as if I'm exploiting that loneliness, but I do sometimes find myself benefitting from their quiet desperation for companionship. If it matters I've been on the flip side of that coin. Work sometimes sends me out of town for extended periods, and unless I hook up with somebody in a local chatroom, my nights are spent eating meals by myself at nearby restaurants, watching the occasional movie and hanging out in my hotel, maybe for a drink at the bar or a jerkoff session in my room.
Heck, sometimes life works out that way even when I'm not traveling. That was my predicament one recent Saturday afternoon when I looked around my house and discovered there was nothing, either inside or out, that needed immediate attention. All the yard work had been done (at least temporarily), I had no pressing laundry needs, the dishes were washed, the bills paid ... what the hell was I going to do?
I thought about going next door to Kevin's place and seeing if he needed, er, more "help" with one of his home improvement projects. The last time I "helped" him I ended up slurping that giant cock of his down my throat ("Air Force Weenie").
Then there was Scott on the other side of me, whose ass I had probed with my tongue while he teetered on a ladder replacing a floodlight bulb ("An Officer and a Gentleman"). Bob across the street ("Fucked by the Non-Com") had moved, and I didn't get screwed by him before he left, which was a damn shame. When I saw the U-Haul parked in his driveway my asshole twitched with regret. Even drunk he could fuck like a champ.
So here I was on a Saturday afternoon with absolutely nothing to do. What the hell? I grabbed my wallet and keys, intent on getting in the car and driving around until something presented itself, sex-wise or not.
But then I spied a movie gift card lying next to my wallet.
Sheesh, I hadn't been to a theater here in town in ages. Seems like the only time I went to the movies was when I was traveling and desperate for something to kill time. It wasn't often those circumstances presented themselves here at home.
Except they had. I seemed desperate to kill time now, and the sequel to "Independence Day" was still in theaters. Why not? I told myself. Let's go watch aliens wreak havoc.
The theater was dark, cool, and surprisingly empty of theatergoers. At first I thought I'd gone through the wrong door, but I checked my ticket and yes, this was "Independence Day," the 2:45 showing. Then I got out my phone and consulted the Internet Movie Database for their reviews. That explained it. The movie was a stinker, according to the critics, both profession and non. Despite that I decided to stay; sometimes a cheesy science fiction movie can be more fun than a movie with "layers."
The theater offered stadium seating, and I was in the uppermost row so I was able to survey everybody who entered. For instance, an elderly man and woman sat way down toward the front, presumably because they could see better from there. A scattering of younger folks – couples or groups of guys – filled some of the rows in between. Some rows were completely empty.
The screen was showing that pre-trailer crap – previews for TV shows, ads for body wash and fast cars, and admonitions that you not do what I had just done – use my cell phone – after the movie started. As I watched it roll across the screen I almost missed the guy climbing the stairs, heading in my direction. But once my eyes settled on his lanky frame, I began tallying all the important details.
