Rest Area: Nicki
My god it's really snowing hard I thought. I had pulled into the rest area about 3 hours before and crawled into my nice warm bunk. It was about 11pm now and it looked like about 6 inches had fallen. No sense setting my alarm clock, I wasn't going to be going anywhere until the road crews got things cleaned up in the morning.
I was just about to close the curtain that separates the cab from the bunk area when I glanced down the line of trucks. What the hell was someone doing walking down the line of trucks. I was the end truck before the exit back to the interstate and the rest rooms were the other direction. I was curious now so I watched the person approach the truck beside me. The figure banged on the door and after a few minutes started trudging toward my truck.
I could see now that it was a tiny girl but what the hell was she dressed in? As she got closer I saw she was wearing thin half boots, short shorts, and a thin satin jacket. She got to my door and banged without looking up. I already had the window down and she jumped when I said hello.
She looked up at me and kept trying to say something but her teeth were chattering so hard nothing was coming out. Jesus H. Christ why do I have to be the one to rescue every stray that comes along? I sighed and reached back for my boots and drug them on. When I opened the door she stepped back, lost her balance and fell in the snow.
I climbed down and tried to help her up but she wasn't cooperating. I looked into her face and saw blue lips and eyes that were almost closed. Damn she's almost froze to death. I got her up and wrestled her into the cab. Not the easiest task in the world even if she didn't weigh more than 100 pounds. I climbed over her and then got her into my bunk. I got her boots off and the blanket over her. I found my spare sleeping bag and got that snugged around her and then turned up the bunk heater.
Her teeth were still chattering but it looked like the shivering was tapering off. I got the coffee pot out and started heating water. About the time the water was hot she started making noises. I sat down on the bunk next to her and checked her ears and cheeks for signs of frostbite. Everything looked good and she suddenly came wide awake.
"Who are you? Where am I? Did you kidnap me?" all came out of her in a rush.
"Take it easy OK? I'm Jake, you're in my semi and no, this is not a kidnapping" was my reasoned reply.
"What the hell are you doing out in this weather? Especially dressed like you are." I asked.
She hemmed and hawed a little and without looking up mumbled something that sounded like it had 'blowjob' in it.
"You're a Lot Lizard?" I replied incredulously.
"Umm, I don't know what that means."
"It's a hooker that hangs out in parking lots. Jesus, you act like you've never done this."
"That's because I never have" was her soft answer.
"What you just decided, hey it's a slow night I might as well go sell my pussy at the rest area?"
"It was my boyfriend's idea actually. And I was only going to give blowjobs. I'm still a virgin and want to stay that way."
"Are you insane? A virgin hooker? If one of these other drivers had taken you in would have been fucked and then thrown out in the snow with no money to show for it. Why the hell would your boyfriend do this to you?" I was quickly going from curious to slightly pissed off.
"Well we ran away from home and were living in a motel and when the money ran out we got kicked out of the motel. Jimmy said this would be an easy way to make money. I really like giving blowjobs so it didn't bother me to try it but no one wanted one. If you hadn't saved me I probably would have died out there."
"The list of questions I have are piling up. First, why did you run away from home? Two, you have a boyfriend but haven't had sex yet? But you do give him bj's? Where is he now? What's your name? How old are you? Let's start with those and see where that leads us."
"Well," she started slowly but got a head of steam up quickly, "my dad tried to make me realize that Jimmy was nothing but a loser and tried to get me away from him. I really loved Jimmy so I told my dad to go to hell. He told me that if I was going to ruin my life I should just leave and get it over with. So late that night Jimmy came and got me. He somehow knew where my dad hid some extra cash and he grabbed $400 and we left. I haven't let Jimmy screw me because I want to get married first. He kinda forced me to start blowing him but it didn't take long for me to really get off on taking a mouthful of cum. My name is Nikki and I turned 18 last month. Jimmy is 22. What else did you ask?"
This all came out so rapidly that it took me a minute to digest and think back on what I had asked her. Oh yeah, "So where is the loser, um, Jimmy now?"
"He's sitting in the car on the other side of the restroom building."
"So he just sent you out in a blizzard so you could make some money while he sits in a nice warm car. He wasn't worried about you at all? He's either as stupid or as naive as you or he really doesn't care about what happens to you at all."
"Right before I almost died out there I had come to the conclusion that if I stayed with him I would be the one supporting us. That is up until the time he found something better and abandoned me somewhere."
"So what do you want to do?" I asked her quietly.
"What I really want to do is call the folks and ask if I can come back but they will probably say no so that really isn't an option I guess. I haven't even finished high school so I guess I'll try to get a waitress job or maybe Walmart. Find a decent guy eventually, get a life eventually. What I need to do first is get away from Jimmy. Then find a place to sleep tonight."
"Well I can take care of the place to sleep tonight. You can stay here with me." Her face went white and she pulled the blankets up to her chin. "It's not what you think. What looks like the back wall folds down into a bunk. Pillow and sheets and all that. The only danger to you will be me snoring down here. I have to go in to the restroom. While I'm gone look in the fridge or in that top drawer and find something to eat. You need to heat something use the microwave. The water in the kettle is hot and there is hot chocolate, tea, or coffee there. I'll be back in a few minutes."
I pulled on my jacket, hat and gloves and climbed down into the snow. I opened the side box on the cab and grabbed my load bar. A load bar is a metal rod about 3 feet long with a box on one end and a hardened steel pin on the other. It weighs about 6 pounds or so. We use it to tighten the straps and chains on the loads we haul. Very comforting to have in your hands if you get my drift.
I made my way through almost a foot of snow that looked to be tapering off in intensity. I got to the restroom building and made my way around it to the passenger car side. There were 4 cars there but only one that looked like it belonged to a deadbeat. As I approached I could see only one person slouched down in the seat. I tapped on the glass to wake the guy up. He jerked awake and I motioned him to roll down the glass.
"Excuse me but is your name Jimmy?" I politely asked.
He snarled "Yeah who the fuck are you?"
I replied by jabbing the box end of the load bar into his forehead. This seemed to get his attention so I opened the car door and drug him out into the snow. A well placed swing of my bar yielded a very satisfying crack when it landed on his collar bone. A couple of kicks to the stomach and I had him in what I hoped was a receptive mood to listen to some advice. I dragged him up to a sitting position and leaned him against the car.
"Where are Nikki's things Jimmy?" He tried pointing to the backseat but that arm wasn't cooperating very well.
"Pink backpack and the black VS bag" he mumbled.
I retrieved the two items and sat them on the snow. "OK Jimmy I'm going to tell you what's going to happen now and you just have to listen and nod when I tell you to. You with me so far?"
He looked at me warily but finally nodded. I said "Here we go. You are going to get in your car and drive away. You will never see or talk to Nikki ever again. You will never even go back to the town she lives in. Do you understand everything I just told you?"
His teeth were chattering from sitting in the snow but he nodded and tried to get up. I helped him get in the car and watched as he fishtailed of the lot in the deep snow. I grabbed Nikki's things and took them inside. I went through her things and found what I was looking for. I went in took care of business and trudged back to my truck.
I climbed in took of my gear and turned into the sleeper. Nikki was still on the bottom bunk with the covers up to her chin.
