It was his habit to buy a lottery scratch ticket whenever he was in the Jewel store. The machine was conveniently located just after the checkout counters. His regular purchase was a $5 Bingo card. As with all lottery tickets, it contained a four digit number that confirmed the amount of the win. In theory, one could simply uncover this code and have the agent verify whether or not the card was a winner but that wasn't any fun. The actual scratching of the numbers as in a bingo game provided the fun.
On this particular day, he was riding his bicycle when he stopped at the store and bought his ticket. Now he was seated at the pergola near a small lake just down the road from the store. He scratched his ticket at one of the wooden picnic tables and was staring at the ticket for a long time. He finally realized he had actually won $100,000.
He folded the card and slipped it into his pocket, then mounted his bike for the short ride to a local gas station that also sold lottery tickets. The gas station had a machine which could verify his winning immediately. After verification, he would have to mail the ticket to the Lottery headquarters and wait for his check, minus taxes of course.
The ticket machine verified his win and he went directly to the post office next door to send the ticket by Registered mail.
That done, he went back home and called his daughter to tell her his good news. That was on Saturday. Today was Tuesday and he was standing at the counter at the local bowling alley. He had signed up for a summer league for twelve weeks and was eager to meet his teammate. It was to be a fun league, with 9 pins hits counting as strikes and only two to a team. The manager, Carla, had arranged the teams.
"Hi, Pete, how are you?"
"Great, Carla, how are things with you?"
"Not bad. We have twenty teams for the summer league. You and your teammate are on Lane 15. Her name is Kelly Morgan and she should be here shortly. I'll bring her over when I see her."
"Thanks, I'll go get set up."
Pete walked to Lane 15 grinning and shaking his head. He had worked with Carla some years ago and they had become good friends. He was really curious to see what she had set up for him with this Kelly person. After placing his ball in the ball return, he sat down and put on his bowling shoes. Just as he finished, he heard Carla's voice call his name.
"Pete, this is Kelly Morgan, your teammate. Kelly, this is Pete Peterson. He looks gruff but he's really a teddy bear."
As Pete stood up, his eyes traveled up a pair of legs clad in jeans, slim hips with a curve at the waist, almost no discernable tits under the loose fitting shirt, and the brightest smile he had ever seen. Above the smile were a pair of deep green eyes that almost seemed like pools of still water. The whole person was topped off by a mop of gorgeous red hair. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.
"Hi, Kelly, pleased to meet you."
"Hi, Pete, same here."
"Make yourself at home, Kelly, it's will soon be us against the world. Thanks, Carla, see you later."
The lanes came on for practice and they each threw several practice balls, then the competition began. Pete was impressed with the way Kelly handled the ball and couldn't take his eyes off her ass as she strutted down the lane. During the course of the three games, they exchanged personal information and seemed to be getting along nicely.
When the bowling was over, Pete put his ball and shoes into his bag and hoisted it over his shoulder.
"Are you leaving, Pete?"
"No. I have a locker near the back door. I'm just putting my stuff away. There is room in my locker for another bag, if you'd like to store your things there. It will save you hauling them up here every week."
"Sure, that sounds good. I'll be with you in a minute."
Kelly finished putting her shoes in her bag, closed it and lifted it to her shoulder, then turned to Pete with that winning smile.
"Lead on, Pete. We don't want to miss the awards presentation, do we?"
"Certainly not. We're going to the back door then left just before you leave the building. There's a small locker room there. I'll show you the combination to my locker so you can retrieve your ball even if I'm not here."
"Are you going somewhere, Pete?"
"Just for a week. I have a vacation planned for Las Vegas in a couple of weeks. I'm visiting old friends and seeing my daughter while I'm out there."
"Sounds nice. I've never been to Las Vegas. Maybe someday."
"Here we are, Locker 161. I know the dial is a little high for you but it was the only one available when I rented it. Can you see the numbers on the dial?"
"Yes, if I go up on my toes."
"Ok, the combination is 20-40-32, just like an old high school locker. Right-left-right. Stand here in front of me and I'll show you."
When Kelly stood in front of Pete, her ass rubbed lightly against his already hardening cock. Pete leaned a little backward but she pushed her ass back to regain contact.
"Spin the dial a few times. Then right to 20, slowly back to the left past 20 and stop at 40, then come back to the right to roughly 32. The combination is a little worn but you'll feel the door pop open into your hand when you get to 32. There, feel it?"
"Yes, it almost jumped open at me."
"Right. If it doesn't, it just means you missed one of the other numbers and you have to spin the dial and start over again. Watch you head as the door swings out."
Kelly moved her head back into his shoulder and pressed her body back into his at the same time. Pete caught the door with his left hand and found himself cradling her head. She turned her head to the right and their lips met in a slow, warm kiss. Pete let his right hand rest on her waist as she wrapped her arms around him.
When the kiss ended, Kelly dropped her forehead to his shoulder and he was sure he could feel her shudder. He gently wrapped his arms around her and held her for a moment, then lightly pushed her away to reach down for his bag. Hefting it past her, he pushed it to the back of his locker, then retrieved her bag and placed it in the front. Making sure her head was out of the way he closed the door of the locker and spun the dial. Neither of them said anything as he clasped her hand and began to lead her back to the bar where the awards were being given out. Kelly came along meekly, matching his stride as they walked down the aisle towards the bar.
Inside the bar, they found all the seats already taken by the other bowlers. Pete lead her to the wall nearest the bar itself. He leaned back, supporting himself against the bar and pulled her to stand in front of him.
She leaned back into him and wrapped his arm around her waist, placing her hand on top of his. She sighed audibly as she sunk into his embrace. In moments, Carla came into the bar with a handful of envelopes. She rapped on the bar to get attention, and then began handing out the awards. Each award was a $5 bill in an envelope, with awards going to Low Game, Low Series, High Game, and High Series separately for men and women. She started with the women's awards first.
The first two awards were announced attended by applause to make the recipients feel good. When Kelly's name was called for Women's High Game award, she squealed and spun in Pete's arms, planted a wet, sloppy kiss on his mouth before moving forward to accept her award. Pete couldn't have been more pleased with her reaction and obvious show of emotion.
The final award, for Men's High Series, went to Pete and once again, Kelly squealed her delight and planted a wet, sloppy kiss on his mouth before allowing him to accept his award. The meeting broke up shortly after with promises to do better next week. Pete and Kelly were almost the last to leave.
As they left the bar, Pete felt Kelly squeeze his hand a little tighter. He stopped just outside the bar door and pulled her to him.
"So, where are you parked?"
"I'm in front, where are you parked?"
"I didn't drive here, I walked. Do you want to take your ball home or leave it in my locker until next week?"
"Can I just leave it here? I don't bowl anywhere else."
"Sure, no problem. Shall we go find your car, then?"
"Can I offer you a ride home?"
"Yes, of course. I'll be happy to honor your offer. You realize that from now on it will be honor and offer and honor and offer."
Kelly stopped with her hands on her hips and a mock stern look on her face.
"Pete Peterson, do you really think I'm that easy?"
"Kelly, that joke is probably older than you are. And yes, judging by the number and kind of kisses I've already received from you, I think you probably are that easy."
He leaned forward and quickly kissed her on the mouth.
"I know, Pete, I heard that joke at one of my parent's parties years ago. And yes, I am that easy but only because you're such a good kisser. Otherwise, I'd have been gone before we got our awards."
She stepped up and kissed him lightly in return, then took his hand and began to lead him out the door. He followed without protest but with a huge grin on his face. She led them across the parking lot to a Volkswagen Beetle. It was a fairly new model but it still retained the Bug shape.
Kelly extracted a key from her pocket and indicated that he should go around to the passenger door. The seating was comfortable but a bit cramped for him although it fit her perfectly. She started the engine, then deftly maneuvered the little car out of the parking lot and onto the adjoining street.
Pete directed her to his apartment building. Kelly parked in the lot and shut off the engine. They turned to each other and immediately embraced, kissing passionately. Kelly leaned slightly backward, pulling Pete with her. His hands began to roam her body and she moaned in response. Finally, she broke the kiss, breathing heavily.
