"You're gonna have to roll those sleeves down," the African American Chief told Alex.
"Yes Chief," she replied as she stood up and rolled her coverall sleeves down.
"Can't have visible tattoos," he said as he walked away.
Alex had come back from leave and was back in the grind. She was only gone for about a week. She decided to cut her time at home short. Her brother and father wanted her more and more. They had even begun fighting over her. She decided it was best for her to go back to San Diego. She spent New Year's Eve downtown, sober. She was able to get a few kisses, but didn't succeed in getting laid. And while she was out it seemed like the work kept piling up. The holiday season only delayed the inevitable work that had to be done. Ironically working hours were not extended and this came as a relief to everybody. But an out to sea period loomed on the horizon and Alex wasn't happy.
Alex was able to go to the vending machines in the galley during a break when Chief Mayes from earlier confronted her.
"Lundz," he asked as he walked up to her.
"Yes Chief," she replied.
"You did a good job with the painting today," he said.
"Thank you Chief," she replied as she took a sip of her soda.
Part of her tattoo protruded from her uniform as she lowered her soda.
"Just got to do something about the tattoos," he smiled as he walked off.
Alex stood there for a few minutes finishing her soda. She went back to the Forecastle the moment she finished it. She noticed a large bag of trash by the Division office. She walked into the office and picked up the bag. She noticed Chief Mayes sitting in the office.
"Get that out of here," he smiled.
She didn't say anything. She just took the bag to the dumpster and walked back to the Forecastle. Muster came quickly and she soon changed into her civilian clothes. She left the ship and began to walk towards the gate when she saw Chief Mayes again. He was in uniform and carrying two boxes. He was having a problem carrying them and looked like he would drop one.
"Do you need help Chief," she asked.
"Lundz," he said, "yeah, my car is on the far side of the lot."
She grabbed the top box and began to follow him. He didn't say much and she kept up with him as they made it to his SUV.
"Here we go," he said as he put the box down.
He opened the back door and Alex loaded one of the boxes in the cargo area. She looked around and noticed that he was far away from the ship and the other cars. She didn't want to ask why. As she turned away he noticed her tattoos.
"Nice tattoos," he smiled.
"Wish I could display them," she said in a low tone.
"New Commanding Officer's bullshit," he remarked.
"Nothing I can do, or whatever," she said.
"Do you need a ride anywhere," he asked.
"I don't know, I don't think so," she replied as she ran her hand down her left arm.
"Did you need to go anywhere," he asked as he put his arm up against the SUV blocking her way.
She looked him in the eye and smiled. She grabbed his arm and leaned in and kissed him. It was quick and awkward. He looked at her and smiled. He moved his hand and slowly worked it down her arm. He felt her tattoos and gripped her arm. He squeezed tightly and let go. He led her to the passenger side and let her in the car. He soon jumped in and they drove off. She reached for his crotch as they drove around base.
"Not yet," he said
"Sorry Chief," she said.
As they pass the front gate Alex began to yawn and shut hey eyes. Before she knew it she fell asleep. Mayes looked over at her as she fell asleep and smiled at her. He kept driving and didn't make any stops. He drove directly to Chula Vista. The traffic was terrible as usual and he let her sleep. He didn't turn the radio on or anything, he just road out the silence. As he made it to the H Street exit he looked over to her and grabbed her left breast. She grunted slightly but not say anything. He smiled as he kept driving. He finally made it to his house and pulled the car into the garage. He looked over at he and noticed she was still passed out. He quietly opened and his door and got out. He walked around to the passenger side and opened her door. He unbuckled her seatbelt and slowly reclined her seat. He then moved the seat back farther and slid in front of her. He lifted her blue shirt and revealed her bra. He noticed the hook was in front. This puzzled him but he was able to unhook it. Her breasts flopped out and he smiled. She let out a slight grunt as he sucked on her right nipple. She slowly began to wake up as he worked his way to her pussy.
"Huh," she said as she finally woke up.
"Let's go inside," he said looking up at her.
"Okay," she replied as he got off her.
He walked into the house and she followed him. He led her to the bedroom and she sat on the bed. She took her shirt off and got her bra off. She unbuckled her pants when Chief Mayes started to get undressed. He got completely naked by the time she got her socks off.
"Wait," she said as she pulled her pants over her skimmer shoes.
"What is it," he asked as he began to stroke his penis.
"If we do this," she started, "I want you to do something for me."
"What is it," he smiled.
"You've got to get me out the deployment," she said in one quick burst.
