8==>~
The address for my next delivery didn't look familiar, but a quick look at the huge wall map we had at the shop told me it was a little side street several blocks from the campus and ran thru the woods that backed up to the interstate. Remembering previous deliveries to the other two streets in the same area, also told me that it was probably dotted with the same type of small houses and older mobile homes that were cheap rentals on a two block long dead end. Not a great area, but hell....nice enough that if I could afford one, I would move out of my crappy dorm room into one in a heart beat. Previous experience also said that getting a decent tip in that area was a 50/50 shot, so I put on a positive attitude and headed out with the small, two item pizza....hoping for the best on an $11.81 order.
Traffic was light and I jammed to the 70's & 80's classics station Cody had turned me onto earlier in the week. I was finding I really liked the mix of everything from acid rock to funky disco that they played....so much so that I got caught by another motorist beside me at a stop light, singing with too much enthusiasm along with 'It's Raining Men.' I just grinned and cranked it a little louder while following the beat with my fingers on the steering wheel. He was shaking his head when the light changed and he pulled quickly forward as I made a right headed for #97 Pine Avenue. Two streets later, I flipped on the turn signal and made a left down the dark, heavily wooded lane and began searching for anything that resembled a house number. Finally, the next to last place on the street had a front porch light on and the dilapidated mailbox at the street displayed a '97'....which was good since the little house set at least a hundred feet back on the lot and was almost obscured from view by the large bushes in front of it. I swung into the dirt driveway and pulled up behind an older Nissan Sentra with a university sticker across the back window.
I jumped out and noticed the parking sticker on the car wasn't a faculty one, and hoped for the best that it was at least a student that could afford to live off campus, order pizza, AND tip. As I hit the front porch, I heard the same song coming from inside that was playing in my car when I shut it off....'In the Navy' by the Village People. The inside door was slightly ajar, but with the stereo volume, the customer hadn't heard me pull in. "Man...disco was so openly gay," went thru my mind as I knocked hard on the wooden screen door.
The music was quickly turned down and when the door opened, I had to work at keeping my jaw from dropping at the most fantastic specimen of handsome male I had seen in weeks was standing there grinning at me...in nothing but boxers! Just a few inches taller than me, his well tanned & toned body coupled with long, sun-bleached, golden blonde hair suggested he was probably a surfer. His deep blue eyes were sparkling and set atop high cheek bones. His smile would make the most picky dentist proud and a set of fuzzy thighs peeked out from the boxers and ran down to his equally hairy calves. I managed to find my voice again and smiled as I asked "Looking for a little late night dinner while studying?"
"Sure am buddy," was his response. His lips curled back into a smile after adding "What do I owe you for dragging you clear out here so late?"
I knew what I wanted to answer, but stopped myself from suggesting that he feed me too. Even so, I still allowed myself to say "You are a cheap date tonight....only $11.81," as I handed over the pie.
"So I have been told before....let me grab the cash dude," was his comeback as he spun and left me standing there in his open doorway. I watched intently as he dropped the box on a small kitchen table and then across the room to pick up a wallet on top of the computer desk. I was too busy checking out his long legs and lightly muscled back to notice what he took out of the wallet, and then was distracted further by a meow and furry brush against my bare leg. I looked down to watch the biggest orange tabby I had ever seen wrapping himself around me. Always a sucker for an affectionate cat, I sat the hot bag aside and squatted down to pet him and scratch his ears. Suddenly, those long legs were in front of me again and I looked straight into the plain pair of bright blue boxers only inches away....a distinct bulge just starting to show.
"Here ya go....keep the change. Sorry it's such a shitty tip, but I am major broke until Friday," were the words that came with the hand holding a ten & three ones in front of me. "His name's Ralph and he will follow you anywhere now," was added with a slight snicker.
I pushed the bills in my pocket, and said "Thanks man....every little bit does help. At least you made the effort to give me something." Then I added "Great cat!" as I stayed in the lowered position and continued stroking Ralph as he kept rubbing up against me.
The cute customer plopped onto the arm of the old easy chair next to the door and offered "Yeah, but he is such an attention slut."
