- I don't understand some relationships.
-
- The weekend after graduation is a particularly dull time for a bottle
- shop. Everyone that wants booze has either left town, is still nursing
- the worst hangover of their academic life, or is still plowing through
- leftover alcohol. Or has to work. Which I was.
-
- The late afternoon sun pounded through the dirty glass of the front,
- what little was not covered with signs loudly proclaiming a message of,
- in essence, "Get Drunk! Cheap! Here." The weather in Cambridge had
- been particularly lousy, especially for June, our most promising month
- until October. But the thunderstorms and rain showers had given way to
- a passably nice day. The weather was guaranteed by the owner of the
- shore having scheduled me for an all-day shift.
-
- The job sucked, but the alternative was home to Lancaster, PA with my
- parents, a fate I would have gladly licked Mass Ave clean with my
- tongue to avoid.
-
- I didn't notice her at first, as all my attention was taken up by
- counting out change for a $100 for a young guy who was buying a
- newspaper. He had a smile that I'm certain was intended to be
- apologetic, and if I had been in a better mood it might have worked,
- but I was inconsolable. A line had formed, and she joined the end of
- it, not stopping to pick anything up. With each sale, I noticed a
- little more of her.
-
- Bottle of wine, $12.95. Short blonde hair.
-
- Two six-packs of Coke, $4.49. About 5' 8", blue halter top. Nice
- figure.
-
- Bottle of gin, $6.80. Cute, button nose.
-
- She reached the front of the line, and gave me a smile that broke
- through my lousy mood. Blue eyes. A little necklace that looked
- vaguely Southwestern, all turquoise and silver.
-
- "I'm looking for Cedar Street? Any idea where that is?"
-
- We're at the corner of Mass Ave. and Cedar. This was going to be a
- short encounter. I told her.
-
- "No, no, not that Cedar! Cedar in Somerville. I love Boston, but I
- hate driving in Boston."
-
- We're in Boston the way New Jersey is in Manhattan, but I wasn't going
- to start that line of conversation.
-
- "Where are you from?"
-
- "California. How about yourself?"
-
- "Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I'm going to Harvard ..." I started in, but
- I seemed to have said the magic word.
-
- "Lancaster! I have friends in Lancaster." Reminded me a bit too much
- of the Pennsylvania license plates, but she's gone on. "They're
- members of my sorority, and I just saw them at our June Weekend
- reunion. I'm in town for that ..."
-
- As she went on, a one-person conversation, I took in her voice (quite
- husky, considering her bubbly demeanor) and glanced (with appropriate
- discretion, I hoped) up and down her body. She was, well,
- well-stacked. Unfortunately, my discretion was insufficient for the
- task, and I looked back up to her face to see her smiling at my
- regard. As I blushed, she leaned down over the counter.
-
- "Some people get all the fun jobs," she said, in a low, conspiratorial
- voice.
-
- "Uh, yeah." Witty reply. Clever. That's right, I thought, wow her
- with your intellect.
-
- "Place seems quiet, today" She said, glancing around, stretching
- herself. Her elbows sunk slowly onto the countertop. I looked up from
- the view thus created by the lowering of the halter-top fabric to see
- her looking at me with a smile that had switched from conspiratorial to
- something else.
-
- "Think of anything we could do to make the job more fun?" she said.
-
- "Well, it's cooler in the back." Shit, I thought, did I say that?
-
- "We could fix that," she said, turning around and surveying the back of
- the store for the door.
-
- "This way," I managed to gasp out with lungs that didn't seem
- completely under my command. In one fluid motion, I had closed the
- register, grabbed a package of condoms from behind the counter, and
- locked the front door. No customers in the parking lot, good, just one
- car, must be her's. It looks like there's someone in it, but nah,
- couldn't be, anyway, who cares?
-
- I led her into the back room. It's even worse than the typical back
- room of a liquor store, whatever that looks like. There are boxes
- piled everywhere, both empty and full, the usual collection of posters
- proclaiming that all you have to do is drink some terrible brand of bad
- American liquor and amazingly women who would scrape you off their shoe
- now will fall into bed with you. Not in so many words, of course, but
- the message is clear.
-
- She surveyed the scene, with what I assumed was less than complete
- enthusiasm. Well, it is a bottle shop, not the Marriott. But when she
- turned around, she still has that infectious lovely smile on her face ...
-
- "I can cope with this." She pulled the tank top over her head,
- revealing her lovely breasts still in a white bra. The bra came off a
- moment later, and she was in my arms, pulling me down to a kiss. And a
- very nice kiss it was, very deep and soft. Even with lots of tongue,
- there are kisses that are very sharp and angular-feeling, but this was
- a lover's kiss. I still can't completely explain the difference, but
- there you are.
-
- With a plop, the package of condoms dropped to the floor. She somehow
- managed to slither out of her shorts while kissing me, and did a
- lovely, slow, descent to her knees, running her hands down my chest.
- Kissing me through my jeans, she unbuttons them, and applies her mouth
- to my already-hard cock with tremendous skill.
-
- "Now ..." Lick. "I don't ..." Slurp. "have ..." Gulp. "much time
- for this," she finally managed to get out, between licks with her
- tongue along my balls, "so let's be quick!"
-
- Nothing like a little performance anxiety to make an evening special,
- but I wasn't going to turn this down for anything.
-
- She retrieved the packaged of condoms, and (with cardboard and wrappers
- flying everywhere) managed to extract one. As she stood up, naked
- except for jewelry and shoes, she rolled one onto me with one hand, the
- other steadying herself on my shoulder.
-
- "OK, I'll just bend over like this," she said, as businesslike as if
- she was staging a play. She turned her back to me, and bent over,
- steadying herself on a pile of Guinness boxes. She spread her legs,
- and one hand spread her lips apart. Amazingly, she was very wet
- already, wet enough to...
-
- "Well? C'mon!" she said, always impatient. OK, OK, I was just
- enjoying the view. I stepped forward, rubber-clad penis in hand, and
- slid it. There was almost no resistance, I was amazed.
-
- I started slowly, with long strokes, but she was having none of it.
- She started setting the rhythm, pushing back, in, out, in out. Her
- free hand was playing with her clit, and she was starting a lovely
- pattern of moans in time with her thrusts. In, out, in out ... she
- came once, twice as I finally lost control and pounded into her,
- grabbing her hips.
-
- She started screaming, loud enough that I was afraid the next door
- dry-cleaners would hear. "Yes, yes, YES!" she yelled out as I came,
- much faster than I thought I ever would, shaking as my cum poured out
- of me.
-
- I staggered back, a bit unsure of my balance, and came out of her with
- a pop. She gave a small whimper of displeasure, but was back into her
- shorts and tank top (bra in the pocket of the shorts) before I even had
- the condom all the way off.
-
- "That was very nice, thanks. I better go, my boyfriend's waiting."
-
- "BOYFRIEND!"
-
- "Yeah, he's in the car. He'll wonder what's taking so long."
-
- "Boyfriend?" OK, I had already said it, but I still wasn't quite
- getting the answer I was looking for.
-
- "Relax, he's reading a newspaper, and nothing distracts him from that.
- Anyway, gotta go! Thank you kindly," she said, with just a touch of an
- affected southern accent. And with a small peck on the cheek, out she
- went through the store, unlocking the front door and tearing out of
- it.
-
- I staggered into my clothes, cleaned up the condom package debris in
- the storage room, and put one condom-package worth of change in the
- register (the owner would notice, he's that kind of guy).
-
- I watched the car pull away, and head down Mass Ave. Even through the
- grimy windows, I can see that it was the guy with the $100 driving.
-
- I still don't understand some relationships.
