My girlfriend and I were headed to her friend's wedding in Ohio. I didn't want to go, but it was a chance to take an extra day off work and drive down.
Amanda and I had been dating for about a year. She was a well-behaved girl, 5'4" and at 120 pounds, curvy. Her 36c rack drew lingering glances wherever we went, which I secretly enjoyed but would never tell her.
But now that we'd hit the year mark in our dating, Amanda seemed restless all of a sudden. She kept pushing to try new things or saying unexpectedly lewd things to me. I wasn't sure what to make of it, sometimes it worried me. But other times her surge in libido seemed like the best thing ever.
Today we were driving south towards Ohio. We had listened to music for a while, but both sat quiet, already bored with the scenery. I was driving and she sat beside me in the passenger seat, in a cute set of leg-hugging jeans and a new v-cut shirt she'd just bought.
We eventually turned off the highway to get lunch. We found a restaurant on some back road and ate, then got back in and started looking for the highway again. As we drew close to the on ramp, we saw a hitchhiker. He was tall, older than us, well-built and dressed in faded jeans and an old green shirt. He smiled as we approached and waved.
Amanda looked at me "You're not thinking of picking him up are you?"
I looked back at her defensively as the car slowed at a traffic light "Why not?"
"Never pick up a hitchhiker. Can't trust some random stranger!"
"Not alone, maybe not. But there are two of us and only one of him!"
She rolled her eyes and dropped it. I decided to wake myself up and liven up this drive by pulling over.
He opened the back door and got in. "Hey guys thanks for picking me up. Headed south?"
"Sure are."
