Paris Williams pedaled along the side of the gravel road, along the packed earth. She kept to the side of the gravel road; trying to pedal the antiquated 10-speed bicycle through the loose gravel was just asking for disaster. There was the chance of becoming bogged down in the loose gravel, or chancing the occasional nail or shard of broken glass.
Grandpa had been cleaning out the old barn when he discovered Jack Williams's old bicycle. The bicycle was just a skeleton of its former glory; Jack had said the bike had cost him a pretty penny in 1983. But when Grandpa found it, the bicycle was just a jumble of rusted and rotted bits and pieces.
Paris had sanded the orange paint and the rust from the frame. The tires had rotted off the bent rims, even the rubber brake pads had rotted away. The vinyl seat was rotted and mildewed, exposing the rusted metal chassis underneath.
"God, Sweetheart," Jack had said. "As much as it would cost to fix this, why don't we just get yourself a new bike?"
Paris had not heeded her father's words, just bent to the task of fixing the old frame. It was just as much a labor of love as it was a desire to have a bicycle. This bicycle had once belonged to her father and Paris adored her father.
Now, as the nineteen year old girl pumped her pale legs, the red head smiled as she used her thumb to rapidly drop the gear from sixth down to third as she swung left through the sharp elbow in the gravel path. The bicycle's glossy lipstick pink color shone in the late morning sun. The leather saddle pressed firmly against her crotch and the rocks and ruts and occasional tree root and clump of sod caused the stiff leather saddle to jerk and bump and rub maddeningly against her denim covered crotch.
Over the wooden bridge, Paris brought the gears up to seven, then eight and nine as she picked up speed. She gave a happy little grunt as the boards caused the leather saddle to vibrate against her wet sex. Then it was back down to five to traverse the soft earth again.
On the asphalt of Highway 331, Paris pumped her pale legs as hard as she could, shifting through the gears until she was at ten. Glancing from left to right and to the left again, Paris did not stop at the junction of 331 and 12-A. She rarely had to stop; there was rarely any on-coming traffic. Three minutes after crossing the intersection, Paris reached Rio Del Sol Mexican restaurant and pulled up behind the restaurant.
Paris locked her bicycle behind the restaurant then knocked on the back door. She smiled at Tammy Garrett, the manager and Tammy returned the girl's smile.
In the employee's break room, Paris quickly wiped her sweaty arm pits with a damp wad of paper towels, then smeared some gel deodorant under each arm. She then pulled her peasant blouse out of her duffel bag and wiggled into it. Blouse securely on, Paris wiggled out of tee shirt and bra and dropped both into her duffel bag. She worked the short skirt up over her legs and then dropped her denim shorts to the concrete floor. She smirked at the sight of the dark patch where her crotch had been in contact with her bicycle seat. Leather sandals completed her uniform and Paris was ready for their lunch rush.
"Ola, Senora Tammy," Paris teased as she put her apron on.
"Ola, red headed gringo," Tammy agreed. "Becky called in sick again."
"Tammy, she's not sick, it's Monday," Paris shook her head in disgust. "And, how many times do I have to remind you? It's 'gringa,' not 'gringo, goof. I'm a girl.'"
As if to emphasize her female status, Paris worked the elastic collar of her blouse down to show off her 30C cleavage. With twenty minutes until opening time, there were no cars in the parking lot, no one standing on the other side of the glass door waiting to get into the restaurant.
"That house in Geaytchel's really coming along, isn't it?" Fernando commented to Tammy and Paris as he stirred the seasonings into the diced chicken breasts.
"Is it? I've not been out there since hmm, right after Tommy's birthday," Paris asked, glancing over the window partition that separated kitchen and dining area.
"Mm hmm; it has one of those, those, oh come on, what's it called? When it goes all the way around the house?" Tammy asked, perking up as a car pulled into the parking lot.
"Walls?" Paris teased. "My trailer's got walls all the way around, all four sides."
"A porch?" Fernando guessed and reduced the heat on the chicken breasts.
"Yes, yes, but it's not called a porch," Tammy said. "Not when it goes all the way around."
"Oh, a veranda!" Paris said. "How do you know it has a veranda?"
They're putting in the railings. They're sooo pretty; cast iron and wood. Makes you wonder what the inside's going to look like when they're finished with it," Tammy said then nodded with her head toward the rear door of the restaurant where a knocking could be heard.
Paris opened the door to let Kenny enter the restaurant. Since Becky had called in sick, it fell to Tammy to act as second waitress, as well as cashier and as shift manager. She'd already called Mr. Frankie, the restaurant's franchise owner to inform him about his niece once again leaving his restaurant and employees high and dry.
"I know blood's thicker than water," Tammy muttered to herself as three more cars pulled into the parking lot. "But come on, Frankie, money's thicker than blood, right?"
"Would have been here sooner, but got stuck behind another truck," Kenny explained. "Right there on twelve where they're working on those two big buildings."
"They are really going up quick, aren't they?" Paris agreed. Anyone know when they're going to start hiring? "Tommy and Jeremy put in their applications at both of those places."
"Start on the chips, Fernando," Tammy ordered as Paris flipped the 'Open' sign on and slid the bolt back to unlock the door.
From the moment she unlatched the door until just before three o'clock, Paris barely had time to look up. They were extremely busy with twenty four tables to tend to, split between two waitresses.
After three pm, Tammy suggested Paris eat a bite and relax for thirty minutes. Fernando smiled as he pointed to the chicken tortilla wraps he'd set aside for Paris.
"Thanks, Fernando; you're the best," Paris said tiredly as she grabbed the plate and sat at Table number one, the table closest to the hallway that led to bathrooms, break room and rear exit.
