I looked out the window of the little coffee shop and thought, man, days just don't get any better than this. It was mid September, the sun was out and the leaves were just starting to turn. Today was a gift from God, to bikers. I admired my bike parked just outside the shop window, red, white and black, it was a hot looking bike, and man, it was fast as hell. I was gonna meet up with some of my buddies and we were taking a tour. Seven or eight bikes, the open road and the sweet sound of high Rpm's.
The girl at the cash cleared her throat.
"Sorry dear, you caught me day dreamin'. What do I owe you?"
"Nothing, if you take me for a ride on that bike mister."
She was a real cuttie, probably a student from one of the universities up the hill. "Sure, but not today sugar. I gotta fly." I threw a $5 on the counter and grabbed my coffee. "I'll be seeing you around." I could hear her giggling to one of her co-workers as I left the shop.
"Thanks for the tip mister." The door closed behind me.
I popped the lid and inhaled the smell of dark roast coffee. This was gonna be one hella of a day. Behind me I could hear shoes hitting the sidewalk, coming up fast. I turned and a woman ran right into me, sending my coffee sailing high into the air. I caught my balance and the woman went careening up the side walk. As I turned to watch her go, some dude dressed in black ran into me and sent me flying over a garbage can. From where I was lying on my back I watched as he kept running up the street, apparently chasing the woman. I got to my feet and just managed to see the man grab the woman by the hair as they rounded a corner and turned down an alley.
"Mother Fucker." It only took me a few seconds to reach the alley and as I rounded the corner I saw the man shaking the woman pretty hard, then he gave her a backhand and sent her sprawling into a pile of boxes. I was still running pretty fast and I managed to hit the big guy at a good speed. I tackled him low and we both went tumbling to the ground. I jumped to my feet but the man was already running down the alley. I watched as he turned a corner and disappeared.
"Are you Okay?" I turned to check on the woman but she too, was gone. "Fuck!" That sure was strange. As I turned to head back to my bike I caught a glimpse of something shiny and black lying next to some garbage bags. It was a purse. I looked inside to see if there was any id that would help me return the purse and see if the woman was all right. There was no id, only a compact, some lipstick, some chewing gum, a Swiss army knife, some receipts and a folded piece of paper. On the paper was scribbled, 3:45, Kings and York. I put the paper in my pocket and shoved the purse into the sleeve of my leather jacket. My knee hurt and looking down I saw that my jeans were torn in the knee and I was bleeding. I walked back to the coffee shop.
The cute cashier was wiping the top of some tables when I walked in. She turned and smiled but her smile disappeared when she saw why I was limping.
"Shit! You're bleeding." She pulled out a chair and helped me to sit down. I didn't need help but she looked pretty concerned.
"I'll have another medium with milk and something for my knee if you have anything."
"Sure, coming right up." She turned to head into the back of the shop but I stopped her.
"If you don't mind, I'd like the coffee first." I smiled and she smiled back, the concerned look easing.
When she returned with the bandage for my knee I was sipping a nice hot coffee. She put my leg up on a chair and went to work on the cut on my leg. She looked up and smiled.
"You really tore you pants good mister."
"Yeah, a hole in the knee only makes these jeans look more lived in." I took a sip of my coffee.
"No, you tore your jeans in two places. By the way, nice boxers." She giggled and went back to cleaning the cut in my knee.
Sure enough, my boxers were clearly visible and I could see the inside of my thigh. Oh well, no sense in getting all shy now. I took another sip of my coffee. "What's your name kid?"
"Jess." She patted the bandage and kissed my knee. "All better." As she turned to go she looked back at me, "And I ain't no kid, Mister." As I watched her walk through the swinging doors, I could see that she sure wasn't a kid. She had a nice round ass and it looked some fine in the tan shorts she was wearing. Her legs were lithe and tanned and seemed to go on forever. She returned with a cup of coffee and sat down beside me.
"I hope I don't embarrass you mister, mister, I don't know your name."
"Jay."
Well Jay. I hope I don't embarrass you but... You're poking out a bit."
I looked at her trying to figure out what the hell she meant. I followed her gaze down till it settled on my crotch. There, just at the edge of my boxers was the end of my dick. Just a bit of it was visible. As non chalantly as I could, I lowered my leg and turned to face Jess. "Sorry. I didn't realize."
"Not a problem." She sipped her coffee and studied my face. Your new around here. I haven't seen you around before."
"Yeah, I've just moved here a week ago."
"Do you have a job here or something?"
"No. I'm going to one of the Universities up the hill. I'm a bit late getting started." I reached into my pocket and pulled out the piece of folded paper.
"You don't have a tan line."
I looked at her, not knowing what she was talking about. I looked down at my knee, then I glanced at my crotch and smiled. "No, I guess I don't."
"I'm not talking about there. I mean on your finger."
I looked at her, not understanding what she meant.
"Your ring finger. You don't have a tan line on your ring finger." She sipped her coffee. "A lot of the bikers who stop here have tan lines on their ring fingers. I guess they just can't seem to enjoy the freedom on their bikes with a gold band on their finger. Every one wants to be a bad boy these days."
"I don't like rings." I sipped my coffee. My gaze flicked down to her chest briefly. She had a very nice figure. She was pretty, with delicate facial features, her red hair was bobbed with highlights that seemed to shone in the afternoon sunlight. She was attractive and just from spending a few minutes sitting with her, I could feel that just as she had said earlier, she wasn't a kid. She had a confidence that made her brown eyes sparkle and dance.
"Let me put this a different way. Are you married?" Her eyes were studying my face as I thought about what she had asked.
"Yeah." I took another sip of my coffee and looked at my reflection in the dark liquid in the cup.
"Figures." Her middle finger traced around the rim of her cup. "Actually, and I don't know why I'm saying this but, I don't really care. I'd still like to go for a ride on that bike."
I could feel her eyes trying to catch my gaze as I looked into my coffee cup. I looked up and met her questioning eyes. "I'll take you for a ride sometime." I looked at my watch, it was 3pm.
"I get off at 4. Are you busy later?"
"Well actually, I'm new in town and I was wondering if you could help me with some directions." I reread the scribbled note. "Do you know where Kings and York street are?"
"At the lights, take a left and you're on York. Kings is about six blocks up the hill." She tipped back her coffee and moved to get up. "I guess I won't be getting that ride."
"Listen, Jess." I put my hand on her arm. "I have to check on someone. To make sure they're all right. I'd like nothing more than to take you for a ride. Just not now. Maybe we'll bump into one another later. Are you going out tonight?"
"Actually, me and some of my friends are meeting at the Cosmo later. If you want to see me, that's where you can find me." She stood and cleared both of our cups and walked towards the kitchen. "I'm not sure if you'll be doing much dancing with your leg torn up like that though."
As I stood to leave I watched her fine ass disappear behind the swinging doors that led into the kitchen. Man, she was a good looking woman. I knew I could manage a couple spins around a dance floor if it meant that she'd be holding me up.
Stepping out into the sunlight, I put on my glasses. looking up the sidewalk to make sure I wasn't broad sided again. I started my bike and fastened my helmet. As I revved the motor and eased out into traffic, I could feel the cool air blowing up my boxers, it actually felt all right. At the lights I turned onto York and accelerated towards Kings, the sound of the high Rpm's a soothing cry as I thought of the woman from this morning. Who was she, and why was she running? As I drove up York I hoped that sometime around 3:45, I'd find out.

I turned onto Kings and eased over to the side of the street, parking by a park bench which was chained to a concrete anchor buried in the ground. I took off my helmet and knelt beside my bike, hoping that I looked like I was trying to fix something. From where I had parked I had an unobstructed view along Kings and a fairly good view up and down York.
