Friday night and I'm the most boring guy out there. Well, if I was out there. The bar scene is not appealing to me, and the night strolls down the city sidewalk has me standing out like a sore thumb.
My name is Nick and I'm six foot two, blonde, in fairly good shape because of my work. I'm 35 years old and single. So far, I have not found a girl, but have been aware of the female species around me. On the construction sights I'm always very dirty so no looks at me there. When I clean up, I'm too damn quiet around the cafΓ© and restaurants, and don't have a clue how to approach a woman if I wanted to. I've heard guys with first time greetings, and they crash and burn, but seem to dust off and try another girl. I hate computers and can't figure out the internet, so that kind of match-up is next to none. My sister asks me all the time why I don't have a date or girlfriend. I just smile and shrug. She's told me many times that if she was not my sister, that she would date me. I'm flattered, but that's my sister, for Pete's sake!
She's a bit concerned and has tried to set me up on some dates with friends of hers, but I freeze up as soon as they are in my presence. Shit, what a dork I am.
I live on the shadier side of town in an apartment that's comfortable. I've done my own beefing up of the front door as the break-ins are regular. I'm tempted to set up a trap, but I hear that gets messy and complicated. Better just keep trying to keep the little buggers out.
Anyways, Friday night, and again, just sitting in the dark. The sun went down a half hour ago and the street below picks up the noise level. I don't mind the racket as it has some sense of life around here. Just not in my apartment. I had no idea what was coming just around the corner.
My mobile rings and I answer, "Hello?" Not a number I recognize.
I hear sobbing and then whispers of a young woman, "Johnny, help me! He's going to kill me if you don't get here."
I'm up on the edge of my seat, "Hon, where are you?"
I still don't know who I'm talking to.
"I'm at Jack's place. He's going nuts! I'm hiding in the closet from him."
"What's the address?"
She stops a moment, "This isn't Johnny! Who the hell is this?"
Her tone catches me off guard and I chuckle, "This is Nick. You called me, but I'm looking to help you if you want. Is Jack armed?"
She refocuses when there's yelling outside the closet.
"No, but he's drunk."
"Just you and him?"
"Yeah."
She's more quiet now and very frightened.
I ask "Address?"
She recites it.
Shit! That's right here! My apartment building!
I ask, "What apartment?"
She's screaming now as its obvious that the guy has found her. She's dropped the phone and she's screaming the number, "Thirty four oh five!"
I hear Jack being very angry and violent with the girl and I'm on my way up. Shit! Twenty four floors! The fucking elevator is so damn slow that she could be dead and buried before I get up there. I'm running to the stairs and take three steps at a time for the first eight floors. I'm down to two at a time now, and get totally winded by the time I get to the thirty fourth floor. I hear screams again and find a resolve that I didn't know I had. The screams and cries of a woman just tear at my heart. Ol' Jack better not have hurt her or he's going to hurt.
I go through the door like it wasn't there. The paper-thin doors are a testimony to the security and quality of the whole building.
Jack and the girl are naked and he's fucking her from behind and hitting her on the back and ass. The guy pulls out when he sees me and throws a bottle towards me. I duck just in time and have my sights on him and the window. Again, cheap windows and I manage, in one swift move, to give Jack some fresh air. He's screaming bloody murder as I hold his one wrist and he's getting cut from the jagged glass. I pull him back with more cuts to his back and head. I whip him onto the floor, and he lands on his ass.
The girl is bawling and cannot get up off the bed. I wrap the dirty bed quilt around her and look for her clothes. I see something like a skirt and top. No bra or panties. Some small cheap high heel shoes, and a small purse. I grab them and put them in the quilt and pick up the whole works. The girl has calmed down and manages to get her arms around my neck. Her face is all bloodied up and her hair is matted in it.
I remember the phone and go back to the closet and find it on the floor. I pick her up again and head to the elevator. She has her head down and now she weeps at her situation. She hugs me tighter as others join us on the elevator down. Some look in and see the mess of a girl and wait for the next lift.
I get her into my room and set her on the couch.
I say, "What the hell am I thinking! I should get you to the hospital."
She finally speaks to me, "No! No hospital! I'm ok."
I chuckle, "Yeah, you look ok."
She looks at me and realizes I'm not harmful.
She asks, "Where's your shower?"
I point.
She flips the cover off of herself and goes to stand up. She's still nude and not trying to hide it. Problem is, she can't stand. She has a big welt on her hip, and she groans and falls back on the couch.
Now I get up and go to her.
She says, "I need to get to the can. Get me to the shower."
I try to pick her up again and she cringes at every way I try.
She's pissed now, "Just pick me up by my armpits and throw me in the shower!"
We get to the bathroom, and I see myself holding up a nude young lady by the pits. Woody is on the move now at the situation presented.
She tries to stand on her own and cringes and starts coming down. I grip her sides under her arms again and hold her up. This time from behind.
I'm paying too much attention to her lower back and sweet ass that she says, "Excuse me, but I need your attention here."
She sees me blush in the mirror and almost smiles in her pain. She aims the spray head away from herself and turns on the water. It warms up and she reaches for the shampoo. With her arms up, and her getting slippery, has me wondering what's going to happen. She feels the grip on her rib cage get tighter and she knows she's going down. As she slowly slips, I go down on one knee and slide my other knee under her ass for her to sit on before hitting the tile floor.
She sees my wet pant leg and smiles in the mirror at me, "Thank you."
I can't help but chuckle.
Her hair is washed and she's working on her front and face. All the gaudy make up and blood washes off and she tries to reach her back. She stops and looks in the mirror at me. I finally see where she's looking, and she holds the bar of soap for me. Aw man. It's a damn good thing I'm wet already. My shorts fill up with the thought of touching this lady's back.
She smiles when I take the soap and she pulls her hair off her back. She watches my face as I cringe at her black and blue marks all over her. She sees my sad face as I touch down and slowly, softly rub the soap on her wounds. I touch a spot and she cringes.
She sees the look of shock on my face as I say, "Sorry! Sorry, hon."
I don't look at her reflection, but I know she's still looking at me. I rub down her back and push my knee forward to get the spray there. I softly rinse with my hand under the spray as she coos at the tender touch.
She says softly, "A bit lower, please."
Shit! Another load in the shorts! Come on girl! I haven't come like this.... Ever!!
She softly giggles at my uncomfortable condition. I'm sweating bullets as I bring the soap down to her fine ass. As bruised up as it is, the form is very appealing. She brings her hand down to my hand and moves it down her hip. I softly rub and soap up wherever she damn well wants me to. She brings my hands to her lap and I'm starting to feel faint at the thought of the destination. I guess she saw something in me and decided not to go there just yet. She redirects my hands to the rinse cycle. This is happening on both her hips and legs at the same time with both her hands on my hands.
She reaches up and turns off the water and I can just reach a towel for her. There is another one there, but a bit too far. She smiles at me in the mirror, but it's too fogged to get her details. I turn to look at the back of her head and she turns a bit sideways as well. The girl is a doll. Her hair is colored, but her natural face is radiant. Some bruises appear as the makeup is washed off though.
I'm staring again and she asks, "Nick?"
I come out of it and look at the side of her head, "Yes?"
She softly giggles, "I have never been in a position like this before. I would have never been cared for like this by my pimp. He would have dropped me on my ass in the shower and swore at me for not finishing my john."
"Well, your john is finished with you."
She giggles, "You shoved his head right through the window! Holy shit, you're mean!"
Now I chuckle, "Yeah. Crying women do crazy things to my head. If I can fix it, I find unconventional ways to get it done."
She smiles, "Thank you. How about taking me back to the couch?"
