This is the tenth story.
This is the story of Claire.
It was a Saturday evening, early summer, and I was driving for Uber. A ride request took me into a residential part of Hollywood, to a small claptrap house sandwiched between two massive apartment buildings. I waited outside for a minute or two before two girls, two blondes in their twenties, emerged. One of the blondes was bigger than the other, squarer, in a big-boned way. She wasn't bad looking, but the other blonde was...much hotter. She was thin, with maybe b-cup tits, a nice ass, and a face that reminded me of early Jessa Rhodes. She had a shaggy mane of platinum blonde hair, a nice tan, and was only wearing a leopard print crop top and leopard print yoga shorts. She looked like she'd stepped out of an 80's music video. This was Claire.
They got in my car, greeted me warmly, and we immediately engaged in casual conversation. They were fun and bubbly, maybe not the brightest bulbs in the candelabra, but with nice personalities. I caught Claire's eyes in the rearview mirror once or twice, her looking quickly away each time. Sensing her interest, I decided to see if there was any way I could become a part of their plans for the evening.
"What are you girls up to tonight?" I asked.
"Going to a bar," Claire said.
"There's some big basketball game," her friend said.
"Sounds fun," I said.
Claire let out an excited sound, and said:
"You should come watch with us!"
I couldn't believe it. It's never this easy. It shouldn't be this easy. When it is, you don't pass go, you don't collect $200. You say:
"Yeah? I'd love that."
"Hell yeah!" her friend said. "Partying with the Uber driver."
"You can call me Jack," I said. I caught Claire's eye in the mirror and winked. She smiled and looked away.
So there we were, not fifteen minutes later, standing together in a packed sports bar. I bought them a round of drinks and we hung out around a tall table, only half watching the game. Claire and I quickly hit it off, most of our talk about Los Angeles, half bemoaning the parts we hated, half glowing about the parts we couldn't live without. I'd make her laugh and she'd then take a sip of her drink, looking up at me with unconcealed interest. And I'd check out her body, the skinny midriff between the tight leopard print. There's nothing like the ability of tight clothes to make you want to pull them off of someone, unveiling the body underneath. At one point I put an arm around her shoulder and she leaned into me willingly, and I felt the size of our bodies relative to each other, imagined what it would be like to hold her down and fuck her, for her to sit on my cock and ride me.
I think the girls' goal hadn't been to come and watch basketball but to come and meet guys, and Claire's friend quickly realized, from my interest in Claire and her interest in me, that Claire had already done so. She started looking around for her own, and, over the course of two hours, brought over three separate dudes. With each one buying her a new drink, Claire's friend got quickly sloshed, and her personality devolved. The game wasn't even over when she decided, gentleman caller #3 having come and gone, that this bar was a bust, the night was a bust, she'd had enough and she wanted to go home. I wasn't ready for my time with Claire to end, but I didn't have to worry, because as her friend stumbled toward the door, Claire turned to me and asked:
"Do you wanna come back and hang out?"
It's really never this easy.
I left my car at the bar, and we caught a different Uber to their place. Claire's friend sat in the front passenger seat, trying to pick up an Uber driver of her own, but he gracefully deflected. Claire and I sat in the back, our hands touching across the seat, her rolling her eyes frequently at the actions of her friend. When we reached their house we had to drag her friend out of the car to stop her from continuing on with the Uber driver.
The house they were renting was small and dingy but entirely theirs. Once inside, we started making cocktails, all of us hanging out in the kitchen. Claire's friend was getting even drunker, even louder, and started to grind on Claire at one point. Claire laughed, pushed her away, and her friend moved to me, pushing her ass up against my crotch. I raised my hands in the air and stepped back. Her friend called us "no fun" or something like that, stumbled to the kitchen table, harrumphed into a chair, put her head down, and closed her eyes.
A second later, she started snoring.
I turned to Claire.
"Did she...?" I asked.
She rolled her eyes. "Yup. I'm sorry about her."
"That's okay. We all have nights like that."
"Some more than most."
We held eye contact, suddenly alone for the first time, everything suddenly quiet.
I looked down her body, over the leopard print stretching across her breasts, over her bare midriff, down the triangle of her crotch, her legs. I then scanned back up and looked in her eyes.
"That was quite a look," she said.
"You're gorgeous," I said.
I crossed the kitchen toward her, put my hands on her waist, and she stepped with me as I pushed her up against a counter. Our faces were now only a few inches apart, and her breathing immediately quickened, her eyes dancing over my face.
I put my hand on her abdomen, kept it there, feeling her belly tense and untense with her breath. Her hands gripped the edge of the counter. My crotch pushed subtly into hers, my cock stiffening slightly. Her eyes went down to where our crotches met, then she looked back up at me. Her eyes went over to where her friend slept, her face planted on the table, then back to me.
She closed her eyes and moved her face up to kiss me, but I avoided it. She looked at me, tried again. I avoided it again.
"No?" she said, her voice soft.
