The open road had stretched out in front of Daniel McClintock for what seemed like days, but he knew he had only been driving for about six hours. A lot of his time, he found, had been wasted on damn road construction, where an already too small two-lane highway had been reduced to a single lane, with some construction worker waving him onwards after the opposing traffic had been allowed to pass. Had he known about this, Daniel was certain that he would have tried taking another route out of Toronto, heading towards Thunder Bay. He had hoped to make it as far as White River today, the birth place of Winnie-the-Pooh, apparently, but that didn't seem very likely now.
What was important to Daniel at that very moment was his bladder. He needed to stop soon, or else he was afraid of what might happen to him. He could always pull over to the side of the road to take a piss, but he was too paranoid of being arrested by the OPP to really give that thought much consideration. Thankfully, up ahead he saw a rest area, and pulled into it, barely noticing the figure at the other end of the rest area, sitting on some bags, their back to him. Daniel raced to the washroom, and was thankful that there was one unused stall, almost waiting for him.
Once his bladder was drained, and he had washed his hands, Daniel returned to his car. His gas tank was about half full, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to fill up his tank before heading back out onto the road again, just in case. He knew that when the fuel gage registered half a tank, it normally had less than that in it; and the last thing he wanted, right now, was to be stranded on the side of the road, because he had been stupid enough to let his car run out of gas. He had decided, almost on a whim, to move out to Alberta, and move into an apartment close to a friend of his in Edmonton. His marriage had been an utter failure, and he had decided that maybe a new province would be a nice change of pace for him.
As Daniel drove towards where the rest area lead back out onto the highway, he saw ahead of him the figure he had missed when entering ten minutes earlier. He had vowed to himself not to pick up any hitch hikers while on his drive to Edmonton. Hell, his Jeep Cherokee was already almost completely filled with what things he could manage to bring with him, and he didn't have much room for anything else. Still, as he passed the figure, he saw that it was a girl, no more than twenty-three, and she was holding a large card board sign, which read, simply enough, Edmonton. Daniel continued driving, but as he looked in his rear view mirror, he saw that the girl was dressed in a biking outfit, like the ones he had seen other people wearing, as they rode their ten speeds along the highway, deftly avoiding the construction sites. It was that one simple observation, that she was dressed like a biker, and yet had no bicycle, that made Daniel move over to the side of the road.
He watched as the girl's face suddenly transformed, from a sour expression of contempt to one of sheer gladness. He noticed now, while watching her gather up her things, and toss her sign away, that she was of aboriginal descent. He thought briefly on how little he had noticed her at first, while driving past; he had not spared her a second glance, but now he seemed to notice more. She looked to be about five-foot-ten, almost three inches taller than himself, and whereas her face was rounded, her body seemed quite lean, and her breasts where an ample size. Her spandex shorts left little to the imagination, and showcased her muscular legs.
Leaning over to unlock the passenger side door, Daniel wondered if he was losing his mind. Here he was, picking up a hitch hiker, who seemed to have some sort of sad story about her bicycle. For all he knew, it was just an elaborate hoax, and she was going to rob him of everything he owned before leaving him for dead on the side of the road. But before he could shift the Jeep out of neutral, and go speeding down the road, she was opening the door.
"Thanks ever so much,β she said once the door was opened. "I've been sitting there for hours, watching people drive past me. Maybe it's my skin color, I'm used to people thinking poorly of me because my parents were Indians."
Daniel smiled at the sound of her voice, and his mind automatically wondered how it would change as she became more aroused, and how loudly she would scream as he fucked her. With a brief shake of his head, Daniel banished those thoughts, just as while he was a child he would erase a picture from his etch-a-sketch which he did not like simply by shaking the toy. "Here, let me help you with your things."
"I hope they fit. It looks like you have a lot of stuff here."
"It should,β Daniel said with a grunt as he took the two bags, what seemed to be the saddle bags from the back of a bicycle, and found a spot for them in the back of the Jeep. A moment later, he also found a spot for the girl's back pack. "Hop on in."
The hitch hiker closed the door behind her, and looked at Daniel, her wide smile still plastered across her face. "My name's Laurie."
"Daniel,β he replied, looked over his shoulder into his jeep's blind spot, and then moved back out onto the road. A moment later, they were merging with the highway again, and his new passenger was asking him where he was headed. "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to throw away the sign,β she admitted.
"I'll say, that's littering,β Daniel said with a smile. "As for where I am headed, well, you're in luck. I too am on my way out to Edmonton."
"No way!"exclaimed Laurie, who seemed unable to believe her luck.
"Yepperdo,β answered Danial, and then grimaced. He had unconsciously just said one of his ex-wifes favorite phrases. He had to stop doing that. "You're welcome to travel with me the entire way, if you like."
"As long as you're not a creep,β Laurie answered a moment later.
"I dunno about that one,β said Daniel. "My ex-wife seems to think I am, and yet she was the one who had been doing all the cheating in our marriage. Sorry. I didn't mean to dump all of that on you."
"That's okay. You sound bitter. Most people need to spit the bitter things out of their mouths,β answered Laurie.
Daniel glanced at his new travel companion, and was surprised to find himself thinking that she didn't seem to be the type of woman who would spit, she would definitely swallow everything she was given. Another shake of the head, and the thought was gone. Christ, was he really this damn horny? He hadn't been with another woman since leaving his wife seven months ago. No wonder he seemed to be extra horny right now, and there was something about this girl, Laurie, something which seemed to awaken some primal need in him to screw her brains out.
"Do you mind my asking what happened to you?β asked Daniel, doing his best to take his thoughts away from fucking Laurie. He could already feel a stirring in his shorts, and didn't want to embarrass himself by sprouting a massive hard-on while in the company of his new traveling companion.
"Oh, that,β muttered Laurie, and that look of contempt he saw earlier crossed her face again. "Some shitwads stole my fucking bike. I had been planning on biking all the way out to Edmonton, y'know, take my time, enjoy the sights, and I stop off at that rest area, and go to use the washroom. A bus had just pulled in, so there was a line-up, but I waited, thinking that everything would be okay. I come out maybe fifteen minutes later, and my fucking bike is gone. Whoever it was stole my bike in broad daylight, and nobody claimed to have seen a fucking thing. They took the bike, and left my bags though, so I'm at least thankful for that. I guess they didn't want to totally fuck me up the ass."
I know I'd sure want to, thought Daniel, and he felt his cock stiffen some more. "Maybe they got interrupted, and had to leave your bags,β he said, doing his best to replace the image of him fucking this native girl's ass to one of his ex-wife's lover fucking her ass. That seemed to do a better job than shaking his head, and his cock wilted once more.
"Maybe,β said Laurie doubtfully. "The bags were attached to the bike, it would have been easier to just haul everything into a truck, and drive off. But whatever it was that made them leave my bags behind, I'm grateful for some small miracles."
"Amen,β replied Daniel, immediately thinking of how stupid that would sound to Laurie.
"So what's your story?β
"Mine?β Daniel blew a large breath out of his mouth, and was quiet for a minute. "Well, my wife was cheating on me, as you know, and I found out. I divorced her, and decided to move out to Edmonton, and start over again. A friend and I are going to open up a computer cafe, with about fifteen of the highest quality computers, and charge people about six dollars an hour to use them."
