*** there is NO underage (under 18 years old) sexual relationship in my story? ***
Shooting Pool...
Wednesday evening after work I stop in at the Oasis. I walk to the bar to sign up for Thursday's tournament. Then I get a coke and quarters from the barmaid. I return to tables to shoot a few practice racks. Mike is in the corner playing a game against himself. I wave to him as we have played hundreds of games.
I rack, use a bar stick to break and pick up mine to play when a woman calls my name. I know the voice. It's Rachel. I turn to face her. She is open arms for a hug, so I oblige her with a quick hug.
She asks me "Have you talked to Kim."
I say "Yes I met her and she freaked."
I told her "She ask for a bike ride and when we go out riding she jumps from the bike in a slow turn and runs off into the woods never to be seen again that evening."
She says "I know" as Kim is living with her now.
Seems she was staying in a motel and she rented her a room cheaper. She says "Kim is embarrassed to meet you here Thursday. She Is afraid you will make fun of her."
I say "I won't."
Rachel says "She told me why but you need to hear it from her yourself." She states, "I told her you were a great guy and she is safe with you." She then asks "if I might come to her house tomorrow before tourney for dinner?"
"Sure" I reply. "I've had your cooking. I'd be happy for the home cooked meal." We set 5:00 p.m. as time and she steps off toward the bar. She's a great lady from France who can cook up a storm. I love to hear her accent. Too bad she has a drinking problem. I shoot three racks of balls. Stop by Rachel to say "See you tomorrow" before I leave to go home.
The next day . . . Well here I go off to Rachel's house for dinner. I arrive and park the car behind Rachel's. Before I get to the door Kim swings it open.
"I'm so sorry," are the first words from her mouth.
I stop dead in my tracks. She is in a short denim shirt and a almost see thru silk button blouse, her long dark hair is hanging loose and she has the biggest smile. I'm looking at her hard nipples.
"Did you get hurt" I asked.
"Some small cuts and abrasions is all" she says.
I ask her "Why jump from a moving bike?"
She says "sit on the patio with me as Rachel's not ready for us yet". She tells me "Her life has been really bad for the last few years. She had a boyfriend who beat her up and put her in the hospital. She got out and he came back for her. He tried to kidnap her and was going to kill her."
"I freaked last week as was a bit lost and thought we were heading to his house." She explained "She had not taken her medicine as she wanted to go out and can't drink with medicine so did not take it. So was a bit distorted with the fast driving. Wasn't sure where I was."
I softly ask, "Did you take your medicine today?"
"Yes", she replied. "I can't drink."
"Well don't let that worry you I haven't drank in years," I tell her. I ask "where is this ex- boyfriend, do I need to keep on the lookout for him?"
"He's behind bars" she says. "Will be for a long, long time."
I reply, "Good place for him."
She asks, "Would you take me for another bike ride sometime?"
"I may" was the reply.
"I would like go to the tourney with Rachel and you if you want me to. I Just can't drink."
The front door swings wide. "Come and get it" Rachel says with her accent. We rise to go eat and settle down to a table full of food.
I ask "Who else is coming to dinner?"
"Just the four of us" says as a woman walking into the room. "Hello my name is Sam" she says. "I live here with Rachel and Kim."
"Nice to meet you Sam."
"You three beautiful ladies in one house is a recipe for trouble" and I laugh.
We all sit to feast upon her labors. What a great meal. We ate less than half of the food. All four of us help to clear the table and wipe down everything as dishes are loaded into the dishwasher.
We all move to living room to burn and chat. Rachel asked "How's the t-shirt thing going?"
Before I can answer, Kim and Sam say "cool you make t-shirts?"
"Yes I do but only cool custom ones." "So who's all going to the tournament?"
Sam Says "I'm not. Have work to do on the computer."
Kim says "I will."
Rachel says "If I don't show up they come looking for me!" Ha ha!
Sam excuses herself to go upstairs. We three walk outside and Rachel says "Did she tell you about the guy at the bar who has been bothering her?"
"No." I ask, "do I know him?"
"Yes you do. It's Buck!"
Kim asks, "can I ride with you?"
I look at Rachel she waves me on. "OK for a kiss and your promise not to jump from a moving car."
I snicker as she gives me a dirty look. She moves to me. Turns her head and I bend down to place my lips against hers ever so softly! We barely touch but it sends sparks through my body. We part to get in the car.
After were in the car Kim asks "You won't talk about what happened last week in the bar will you?"
"Positively not" I assure her. "So whats this I hear about you and Buck?"
"He gives me the creeps, is always staring at me."
She shifts in her seat to lean toward me and rest her head on my chest. I reach around her to rub her side and feel her hips. Something about a womans hips drive me warm and fuzzy inside. I notice she put on a light sweater to cover her sheer blouse.
We follow Rachel into the parking lot and park next to her. Once inside, I check the roster. It's full, I'm glad I signed up last night.
I ask Kim "Are you planing on entering the women's tourney?"
"No." She says "Can't afford it."
"Can you place" I ask?
"Top five" she says.
"Here," I give her a fifty. "Go enter yourself and order me a coke, get Rachel a drink and whatever you want."
"OK." She turns and walks away with the money quietly.
I spot Jimmy racking and ask, "need practice?"
He says "sure."
"You entered?"
"Yes, I'm in."
"Break" is his reply. We manage two games before the tourney is started. We all draw numbers and a card is created with matches.
Jimmy wades in and back out. "Shit" he says. "You and me first round."
"I say which table we got?"
"By the front door". We move that way.
Kim returns with coke I introduce her to Jimmy.
He says, "Are you playing?"
"Yes" she says,"I have to go check in."
I play against Jimmy and beat him.
I win three more games and the bar clears out some. More room and away from bad tables to the best tables with only four more rounds is more than half way over. I study the room as who will be next. Mike is hot and on a roll.
My next game is against Buck. "How you doing Buck?" I ask "We go way back and I have been meaning to talk to you, seems were eying the same woman. "Buck, you see my friend in the ladies tourney?"
"Yes she's pretty" is the reply he gives.
"Yes she is, but you have to give me your word you won't talk to her unless I'm with her."
"Why" he asks.
"Buck you know me. I trust you only as long as I can see you, and as far as I can throw you! If I'm not with her, leave her alone. That way I won't accuse you wrongly. OK Buck."
"OK, no problem, afraid to talk to her."
"Buck you can talk to her I'll introduce you but not behind my back OK brother?"
He nods. I see Kim looking as we start our game. I'm watching the games when she pops up and says "need a drink?"
I say "yes and bring Buck a beer also as I'm going to introduce you to him."
