Corporal Jake Gardner, Ft Ord, California, munitions truck driver. I met him while he was on leave in Santa Cruz. I knew him in high school, but not too well since he was three years ahead of me. He joined the army after he graduated and was assigned to the army post in Monterrey. We really hit it off together. At 21, he was extremely handsome, single, and so much fun to be with! We got to go out twice, but never really got to do anything serious (sexually, at least). I guess the time got away from us and, before we knew it, he had to return to his new master: the Army.
When I told him it wasn't fair that he had to go so soon, he suggested that I could drive back with him, stay the weekend and then maybe catch a bus home Sunday afternoon. I was so excited that I told him yes, and then realized that I was probably giving my consent to having sex with him. If I went, I would have no place to stay on Friday and Saturday night except with him. Knowing this just made it that more exciting; besides, I really did want to get him naked anyway. I was sure he felt the same about me, but we had to overcome one major obstacle -- the parents.
"I doubt they'll let you go," he cautioned. "Maybe we should just go, and then you can call them when we get to the Post." I told Jake I could talk my daddy into anything; it would be my mother who would be adamant about me not going.
Fortunately my mother was not home when we got there so I was able to talk to my father. "He's so sweet, Daddy. I'm sure he will be a perfect gentleman. I'm a good girl." Those words sounded so hollow coming from my mouth, and, for a minute, I was afraid he was going to tell me no.
"Okay, Baby, you can go," he said as he shook his finger in my face. "But you tell that boy if I hear of one bad thing coming from this, he'll have me all over him!"
I kissed my daddy on the cheek and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Daddy! I'll make it up to you, I promise!" I ran upstairs to my room and threw a few items into my knapsack, not really knowing what to take other than my toothbrush, hairbrush and some undergarments. Just out of habit, I grabbed my bikini and added it to the contents. I had on a pair of khaki shorts and a blouse, which would be fine for today, but packed a light spring dress and a pair of heels for good measure. My dizzy blonde head was like scrambled eggs. I tried to think of anything else I might need, but shrugged the thoughts aside as the car horn sounded.
Jake's car was a steel gray Mustang GT convertible. "Omigod, Jake! This is so totally hot!" I squealed with delight as I threw my knapsack in the backseat of the car. It was a beautifully warm summer evening, and the top down on the car made the trip perfect. The trip from Santa Cruz down Highway 1 to Monterrey was a scenic marvel. The highway snaked along the Pacific Ocean all the way. It took us about an hour to get there.
It was about 7 pm when we drove through the gate onto Fort Ord. I almost forgot Jake was in the car, as I looked out the window at all the yummy soldiers marching, running, and walking everywhere. I felt like I was in a candy store. Here I was, female, 18 years old, and on an army post with thousands of horny guys!
Jake pulled up to a drab looking 2-story building and announced that we had arrived. He put the top of the car up and locked it as I got out and looked around. I had my knapsack over my shoulder and my eyes wide open with excitement.
I followed him up the stairwell on the side of the building to the second floor. Entering, we walked down a long, very quiet wooden-floored hallway. In the center of the building there was bathroom with showers. I knew that, because he pointed them out as we passed them. Two doors later we opened the door to room 212, Jake's room. It was a very plain room with a desk, two single beds and a nightstand. The one big window looked out over the parking lot and street, and I could see his car parked below.
"Well, babe, this is it. Home, sweet home," he said as he plopped down on one of the beds and waited for me to say something.
"This is like totally cool," I gushed. "It wouldn't win any housekeeping awards, but it's nice. How come you have two beds? Do you share the room with someone?"
Jake informed me that his previous roommate had been reassigned a month or so ago, so we had the room all to ourselves.
"I guess, if we have to use the bathroom, we go down the hall, huh?" I asked, "Does everyone use the same bathroom?"
Jake settled back with his back against the headboard and his arms crossed as he watched and listened to my nervous chatter. "We'll have to work out something with the bathroom. We wouldn't necessarily want any of the other guys to walk in on you now, would we? Besides, I'm worried that YOU might like that too much."
Smiling mischievously at him, the reality of the situation hit me. I was in an army barracks, and it was just me and the restβ¦men! My dad had given me money for a motel room for tonight and tomorrow night, but it didn't look like I would need to go anywhere, now.
