The young man came awake as his tires hit the rumble strip on the side of the road. He looked up to see a sign saying, "Food, Gas, and Lodging Next Exit". He took the exit and drove to the truck stop, pulling to the back where it was dark. He rationalized that he could sleep for a while and then get some food before hitting the road again.
As his head fell back, a name escaped his lips, "Bernie." Then silently inside his head, 'Why wouldn't you come with me?'
The silence stretched on without an answer, until it was broken by the actinic brightness of the dome light exploding the darkness. He turned to see a young Asian woman climbing into the passenger seat, before darkness returned.
The flash had seared her image into his brain. Long black hair, a pretty face with almond eyes, a t-shirt covering two small, shapely breasts topped with hard nipples, and plaid skirt.
As his eyes adjusted to the dark, he saw a delicate hand extended. He turned and took the fingers in his.
"Hi, I'm Chloe. What brings you in tonight?"
"Hi, I'm headed for a new job."
"Congratulations! So why so glum."
"Bernie. Bernie didn't want to come with me."
"Oh, so Bernie is your squeeze?"
"I never thought about it that way, but yeah.'
At that point, the young man spilled his guts. He talked about his fears and hopes for the new job. How Bernie refused to come. When he wound down, it never even crossed his mind that he was unloading on a stranger or that she had been silent except to ask the right questions to get him to open up until his soul was laid bare.
Chloe broke the silence and said sweetly, "It's your lucky day. There aren't any truckers waiting for blow jobs, so come with me."
She opened her door and hopped out. They walked across the parking lot to the motel. She walked to the last door and opened it. It was room 113.
