I pulled another bottle of beer out of the icebox as I shook my head in disgust. Getting laid in a military town was almost impossible, unless you were actually in the military. I had gotten out a few years before, and no longer had what we used to call the "Clean-Cut Target" look. Yeah, around here, most of the women wanted to hook up with a young, naïve serviceman, then take control of his paycheck. None of that shit for me! Consequently, I tended to spend most nights flying solo.
This night was no different. I had invested several hours at the local watering hole, and rolled snake-eyes. I slumped back on my couch, cued up a movie, and once again gave serious consideration to moving to a bigger town, like Dallas or Austin. What the hell…the traffic was murder, but the hunting was much easier, as my yearly vacations always proved. Just as I was finishing the beer, and getting up for another, I heard a key in my door. For a second I tensed up, then realized that it was probably just my little sister. I lived closer to the clubs than she did, so I had given her my key; I'd rather she crash on my couch than drive home wasted. She took me up on the offer quite a bit. But, since I rarely got lucky, it didn't bother me too much.
She finally got the door open, and I heard 2 voices giggling, and shushing each other. "He's probably asleep," I heard Jenny whisper. Oh, PLEASE, tell me she wasn't bringing a guy to my place! That would just be the cap on a rotten evening. She finally got clear of the door, and I saw her guest. Mercy!! Her friend was about 5'4" tall, slender, and had the softest-looking red hair I'd ever seen. She was wearing a snug pair of Rockies, and a sweater that left no doubt about her ample breast size. Jenny looked up at me, and caught me staring, and burst out laughing.
"Big brother, put your tongue back in your mouth before it gets sunburned!" she giggled. I recovered quickly, and stammered out a greeting. Jenny asked me, "Do you mind if we steal your couch for the night? Lisa doesn't want to risk the roads…you know the Police, they look at the weekend as open season." I replied, "Sure, if you don't mind watching a movie. I just started it, and I don't wanna stop now." The girls agreed, providing I had some beer.
"Hey, 4 years in the Navy taught me one thong…always have plenty of beer on hand!," I laughed, and grabbed a couple extra cold ones for them. We all got comfortable on the couch, and got to talking. It turned out that Lisa worked with Jenny, and they had been club buddies for a couple of months. Now, Jenny spent about half her weekends crashing on my couch, but this was the first I'd seen of Lisa, and I said as much. "Oh," Lisa said. "Usually, I wind up with company to take me home. For some reason, I struck out tonight!" Oh, there was just NO justice!
