More of the same. Same, same, same, morning coffee with the husband before he leaves for work. Kiss goodbye and the day is mine. Before he leaves I am reminded that my car is due for an oil change. That's my baby it gets what it needs when it needs it. Today it needs an oil change, come to think of it so do I. I pause a moment and think back to my experience with Benny the bag boy. I remember how special I felt looking at him in all his pale, satisfied glory. I am that one in a million for him and I want to be that for another.
What to wear for oil change,green, red, no white! White is the color of the day. My white pushup bra with matching panties, white sheer thyigh-high stockings, my tight little sun dress, also white, and my sleek white pumps. I'm in the mirror now nice eyes, whore red lipstick and my favorite light blue sun glasses. I love the way this bra makes me look in this dress. It's perfect for a sunny day.
It's a little after noon and I'm a few towns over looking for the right place. I'm getting excited. I'm ready to go all the way, my nipples get hard and I can see them peeking from behind my dress. I stop and get condoms. I have no idea what I'll find out here. You can bet your ass that who ever I find is never going to forget me. I pass mechanic after mechanic. Twist and turn and here it is. Perry's auto repair.
It's small out of the way and it look's old and charming. I pull in and the ding, ding of a bell alerts the mechanic to my presence. I pull up in font of the door and I get out. There I stand sun in my face, leaning against my baby. I arch my back and my ass touches the warm metal of the car body. A fiftyish man walks out of one of the two car bays, wiping his hands with a dirty red rag. His hair is grey at the temples, the skin wrinkles deep at the corner of his eyes as he squints in the noon day sun. He's wearing that typical dark blue pants with the light blue shirt, sleeves rolled up to the elbows, forearms covered in grease, his hands are veiny and hard from years of abuse. He's a little on the heavy side, probably has a bad diet.
"Can I help you?" He says it like I'm in the wrong place.
"Got time for an oil change?" I reply, turning to face him. God I love this dress.
"I suppose I could fit you in, we're pretty slow on Tuesdays. Pull your car into the first bay here."
I climb in the car and he directs me onto the lift. I get out and we talk for a moment about what oil I want. I look around; the shop is dirty but organized, with soft country music playing in the background. Then he shows me through a door on the right where a counter sits. No cigarettes, and no pop, just an old coffee maker and maps. Three chairs sit in front of a dirty picture window adjacent to the counter; an old TV barely keeps its station.
I sit down wondering whether or not the seat will ruin my dress. Behind the counter is a framed picture of a much younger mechanic and a woman probably his wife. They look happy. He was a well put together man back then. I drift off for a moment, the smell of gas and oil fills my head. I'm snapped back by the sound of some kind of air wrench. This is it. This is what I was looking for.
The mechanic pokes his head into the door, "Check your fluids?"
"Ya-", I get up and walk into the shop.
My hood is up and he's working on my engine or something.
I move over to him and ask; "Are you Perry?"
He answers, "Yep- Philip Perry."
I can't believe he hasn't looked me over once. Older men are hard to read. He shows me the oil on the stick replaces it and closes the hood.
"All set. Nice car." He says, pulling the rag from his back pocket and wiping his hands.
"Is that you and your wife in the picture in there?"
"Sure is."
"How long have you been married?"
"37 years, she died five years ago. Drunk driver. They both died." He says it as if it's a matter of fact.
I'm sorry for his loss but this couldn't be better, he'll never forget me. I turn it on now. We're standing next to my car; I push my chest out and stand a little taller.
I look him dead in the face and say, "How long has it been since you've had sex?"
He steps back, "What! What kind of a question is that to ask little lady?"
I reply "You a God fearin' man Philip?"
"Not since the wife died."
