Alicia Morgan was working the night shift again at Old Joe's Diner in New York City. It was a twenty-four seven diner that offered decent food at a busy intersection uptown. The customers ranged from locals to tourists with a mix of everything else. Loving the tips and the flexible hours, it was the perfect job for Alicia who now needed the flexibility with college.
The youthful outlook of her teenage years faded into the reality of being a single mom struggling. All of her amazing grade and high school awards mounted to a nice wall decoration and memories of better times. Going to college right after school had been derailed with Marcel wanting to move into an apartment and then both getting jobs to keep up on the bills. Going nowhere fast ended up with Marcel losing his job and resorting back to old habits of smoking marijuana and staying out late with friends.
Alicia refused to be the victim and even with the birth of her son Sebastian, she was not giving up. With her pregnancy hormones in full swing, she grabbed control over her life. Marcel was dumped to the curb and night school started right after. Although Marcel was gone, it did not stop him from trying to come back.
Moving back home with mom was the only option, but even her mother knew that it was temporary. It gets harder before it gets better rang in her ears when her son was born and her online work was due the next day. Refusing to give in was the battle song she blared in her mind when things got tough.
It was a Sunday night and Alicia was doing the dreary midnight shift again. It offered the peace and quiet of work and time to read for college. The tips were sparse but the owner Frank paid her decently by the hour knowing she would take the shift and that it would help her with college; to her it was more of a bribe because none of the other waitresses wanted to do it. The only issue was missing sleep, and not spending time with Sebastian who was only six months old.
Julissa was working tonight and between the two of them they handled the late crowd with utter ease. The only issue was the bar scene crowd which showed up at two, but it was three and the crowd had dispersed and now they were left to their own conversation. Their conversation went from college to Marcel and back to Julisa and her man who refused to commit to anything.
Julissa made the comment about her dating and for a brief moment Alicia remembered the feel of a man and the satisfaction of sex. It was something she missed dearly as she always knew her sex drive was a little high, but it was controlled with having a man and a selection of toys. She tempered her wants with needs as she knew her infant son needed a mother who casually dated men who could be losers.
Even though Julissa mentioned dating, it was not a question of getting a man, but one of getting the right man at the right time. Her petite body bounced back from pregnancy quickly as her belly went flat quickly and her perfectly curved sculpted ass never lost its ability to attract a man's eye. Her light caramel skin was highlighted by her long tight braids that she spent hours on. The only body flaw that bothered her was her breasts. She did love how long and thick her dark nipples were, and lactating made them more sensitive; although she was not lactating as much since weaning her son off her breasts. The problem was the size of the breasts her nipples were on. They were full B cups before and after pregnancy. Giving birth only made them spray milk and give her another self-conscious thing for her to handle.
With Julissa taking the conversation from dating to sex, Alicia felt her nipples harden and leak a bit as she knew her body craved sex like a drug sometimes and Julissa's comments were pushing her over the edge. With nobody in the diner, she proceeded to tell the story about how her man took her down an alley and fucked her because he needed it bad. Alicia listened and felt her own sex slicken with need as she heard how her coworker loved to be taken in public places and fucked hard while she then had to walk home with his cum spilling out of her. The erotic story and the taboo thought of public sex made her want the feel of a man's erection as it emptied his orgasm in her.
The door opened ringing the bell and both their eyes hit upon the white policeman walking in. Alicia stopped her thoughts of sex and went into work mode. "Can I help you?"
He glanced up with a smile and she saw his dark brown eyes look right at hers. "Coffee first, and then a menu."
The cop sat down putting his hat right next to him. Alicia could see he looked a bit older but not too old, maybe in his mid thirties. His dark brown hair had only a few spots of grey but his muscular jaw showed a man who appeared strong. He was much taller than her five foot four height and his vest hid what his chest looked like, but his arms gave away that he had definite muscle tone to him.
Alicia smiled at him and handed him a menu as Julissa poured him some coffee. As she walked to get silverware Julissa came back to put the coffee pot back on the burner. "Shit girl, you gave him a look," Julissa said as a smirk came across her face.
"I did not. I am not in the market for anyone, and definitely not a cop...and a white one no less," Alicia rebuked as she felt Julissa was just egging her on knowing she was single, although she did not feel desperate.
Julissa walked in the back to start the grill as Alicia took the cop's order of a burger and fries. It was a simple order and she paid no real attention to him as he was just another customer. She walked back to hand Julissa the slip just as her phone rang.
Alicia started retrieving her phone from her back pocket only to see it was Marcel. It wasn't the first time he called drunk and now it was a question of whether he was calling over their son or making an attempt to get her back. She wanted him in her life because he was the father of her son, but the feelings for him were long gone.
Marcel's voice sounded drunker than normal and his rant was louder than ever. She looked at Julissa feeling the guilt for being with him and the sorrow that she had to endure it even after breaking up with him almost a year ago.
Julissa flipped the burger and then took the phone from her and pressed speaker letting both of them hear his drunken rant. "I need to hear his shit."
His inebriated voice stumbled over words and was incoherent at times, but his digs at Alicia were vicious and precise. He rambled on about how her ass was too small, and her tits were like a boy. That he imagined other girls when looking at her breasts just so he could get off. Alicia then felt a twinge of tears build up. He was never so cruel before and he used the only weakness she had about her body as the ammo to cause the most damage.
Julissa clicked off the phone and handed it back to her, sorry that she let it go on and that he was so cruel. "I am so sorry. He is an asshole and you are better off for dumping his ass."
Alicia choked back the tears she wanted to spill and looked at her coworker trying to hold it together. "He just knew what to say is all. I know he is fucking some girl in Queens, but I am not going to get pissed...he is gone."
"You are better off girl...besides, I think you have an amazing body and cute ass," Julissa replied as she flipped the burger and began to finish the order.
""You think so? I know my tits are small, but I like my ass," Alicia confessed as she hated that he diminished her body image when she knew it was something that made her happy.
"Oh fuck yes. I bet that white cop out there would say the same thing, and he is a white guy too," she said as she finished the burger and dumped the fries on the plate giving it to her to hand to the cop waiting.
