She awoke from her deep sleep and her mouth was dry. It tasted like a sweaty bear's armpit and she tried with limited success to encourage saliva into her mouth. She licked her dry lips needing a drink.
"What a night!" She groaned and looked around her surroundings and groaned.
Yet another room she didn't recognise!
Sleeping bodies were strewn on the floor, sofas and anywhere that was remotely comfortable. Empty bottles of beer and cheap wine littered everywhere along with needles and tea spoons which was evidence of the drug fuelled parties she found herself at lately.
She didn't recognise these people, not really. Some were just acquaintances she knew who seemed to find themselves at the same drug houses.
She wasn't an addict though. She was just enjoying herself. Tomorrow she would stop, clean up, find a job, meet a nice guy and live the dream of a beautiful house and white picket fence and maybe start a family.
She looked at the man lying next to her on a mattress in the corner of the room. He was snoring, asleep on his stomach and his arm was lying across her chest. She had no idea who the hell he was and he was naked!
She was wearing a leather bodice, half tied and open at the front in a criss-cross fashion down the centre, a leather mini skirt that matched with same criss-crossed design on the side of her hips.
"Shit" she cussed as she realised that she had lost her panties again and most likely had had sex with this man. She saw used condoms and a few panties in the scattered items on the floor.
She couldn't even remember which were hers. She slid from the mattress on the floor and luckily found her shoulder bag beside where she had been lying along with her black thigh high boots. At least that was something!
She stepped over the sleeping people and found her way to the bathroom and freshened up as best as she could. She drank tap water from her cupped hands, swilled her mouth out, rubbed her teeth with her finger and washed her face.
In her bag she always carried mints to freshen her breath; face wipes to clean off her old make-up and lately to wipe her used pussy; mascara, eyeliner, lipstick and blusher to make her look and feel semi human again; a hair brush to tidy up her hair and twist it in a fresh bun again on top of her head. Wisps of hair fell down by her ears. Her youth made her attractive but on this chosen and self-destructive life path, in another 5 years, she would look older than her 21 years and much more haggard.
She straightened her clothes. She looked like a whore in the day light, especially with no panties but it wasn't the first time she had had to make her way back to her bedsit in these circumstances.
She returned to the room and searched a few coats and bags and found enough loose change to catch the bus home. It wasn't exactly stealing. They would do it to her if they had woken first. She couldn't find her jacket anywhere so took a red and black hoody top. It was a little large but actually looked quite nice on her. She decided to keep it. She needed something to cover her on the journey home and zipped it up and slipped out the front door of the crack house.
She walked a little unsteady on her high heeled black boots as the drink and drugs still swam in her blood stream. Luckily she recognised where she was and after a 15 minute walk, she found the bus stop she wanted and waited. The sun warmed her body but was too bright for her eyes this morning especially after the night before. She squinted and felt the faint throb of a headache and the beginnings of cramps in her tummy telling her it was time for her next fix.
She hadn't got anything else left to sell and wondered if she could pick pocket a purse or wallet on the way to the clinic. She had regular check-ups for sexually transmitted diseases and was given clean needles on the programme she had signed up for.
Suddenly a motor bike pulled up and a large silhouette of a man in leathers cast her in shadow. She recognised him immediately. He was Arson, an old friend who always seemed to turn up when she needed him.
"Get on the bike!" He ordered. He wasn't one to mess with. He threw her a spare helmet and she did as she was told.
"Arson, I can..." she began to explain.
"Forget it, I don't want to hear it," he hissed and revved the bike to drown out her sorry explanation.
The bike was big between her legs and she felt the thrill of the vibrations shake her bare pussy and clitoris as they touched the leather seat. She clung to his back and felt safe when she was with him. She shut her eyes, breathed in the smell of his leather jacket and let the feeling wash over her.
She could easily have an orgasm whilst holding him, but didn't want her pussy sensitive for the smear tests she was about to endure. She bit her lip and thought about the least sexual thing she could conjure up in her mind.
Banana Slugs! Yes Banana Slugs would do it! So called because of their yellow colouring -- big, slimy, sliding slugs!
He seemed to know her schedule for the clinic as he headed there. When she got off the bike to go in, he said, "I'll be back in 2 hours. Wait for me. Make sure they give you the certificate to show you are clean."
"Yes Sir," she mocked him and saluted.
She giggled when his brow furrowed and he growled. She knew behind his shades that his eyes were narrowed in warning. Still smiling, she turned, deliberately wiggled her butt and walked in to the clinic's reception.
She registered her attendance and then her thoughts returned to Arson. He was about 11 years older than her, really attractive and a hard man. He belonged to the local biker gang who controlled the area and protected the businesses. They were known as "Night Wolves" and were no doubt either involved with running those business or made them pay protection money to the gang. The Wolves had been here years and were well established in the community.
Arson had come across her in her teens when she had arrived in the town, having run off from an abusive home. She was about to be attacked by some feral youths she had stolen from and he had saved her. He had found her a bedsit to live and let her folks know at home, she was safe and wasn't coming back. She wasn't entirely sure what he had said to them, but they had never tried to contact or trace her since.
He had just told her that when he was ready, he would collect on the debt she owed him. That day hadn't come yet and he had done so much for her over the years. She would willingly follow him to the gates of hell and back. He was her protector and Guardian Angel.
The clinic nurse called her in to a private medical room. She was allowed to shower quickly and for the next 20 minutes or so she was subjected to blood tests and various mouth, anal and vaginal smears tests. She was processed, given new clean needles and condoms and told that the results would be ready in about 90 minutes.
Sure enough, about that time the nurse came out smiling with her certification. She had a clean bill of health this time.
Next came the lectures and leaflets about her risky lifestyle and she should seek help for her addiction.
