It had been years, but I recognized her instantly. The black hair still styled the same as 25 years ago, by now she must be 60, I figured.
It was three in the morning, and she was wobbling as she approached my cab, on heels that were too high for a sober woman. The blouse was unbuttoned, showing all that cleavage, and I hopped out to help her in, being as gentlemanly as I could.
"Can I sit in the front, Honey? I hate it in the backseat."
I thought, you didn't mind it back in 1986, when I was 20 and you were 35, and you thought I was the cutest thing you saw all night. It had been a quickie, and she promised to meet me the next week, but never showed. All those years ago.
I said, "Sure, let me help you in."
She plopped in the seat, gave me a crooked smile as her skirt rode up to her panties. She didn't seem to notice or care. Some things never change.
I climbed in next to her, told the dispatcher I had my fare, and he said I could call it a night after this run.
I smiled. "How are you, Kathy?"
She peered into my face. If she remembered me, I would be surprised: it was long ago, and she had been in similar condition. But she gave me a big smile. "Ohh, hi, Baby! I didn't see you at first, this lighting! What's your name again?"
"Jack," I said, lying. She wouldn't remember anyway. "Where are we headed?"
As we drove, I kept glancing at her legs, so much white thigh showing. The memory of that night and the flesh showing now were getting me to think about how I hadn't gotten laid in weeks.
She had a sexy way about her. She probably figured we fucked at some point, but didn't remember it one bit. I'm sure I wasn't memorable to a woman who drank like she still did. Not after all those years. But, she sure seemed to be acting pretty seductive right now!
We got to her place. She opened her bag. "What do I owe you, Baby?" she purred, looking up without raising her head.
"The ride's on me, for old time's sake," my eyes taking in those huge tits, still looking good after so long, with that bra holding her up, anyway.
"Aww, that's so sweet! Thanks, Doll, really! You don't have to do that."
"My pleasure, you need a hand to the door?"
"Oh, sure, Baby, thanks so much! I feel like royalty!"
I shut the cab off, opened her door, and she offered me her hand, with the skirt still riding high. I helped her out, asking whether there was someone home who might get the wrong idea.
"Oh, no, Baby, I got rid of Larry years ago. You remember Larry, right?"
No clue, but I nodded and smiled as she leaned against me for the short walk, and I slid my arm around her to steady her. We got to the door, and she fumbled with the keyhole, cursing, "Fuckin' things never fit right!"
"Let me help." I found the right key easily and it slid right in, unlatched the door and handed her the keys. She seemed smaller, but still the same makeup, crow's feet around the eyes, jaw in a perpetual smile.
She looked up at me. "I forgot how tall you were, Honey! You still look great! Really."
"Thanks, Kathy, so do you, as sexy as ever."
She tilted her head, cocked an eyebrow, as if suddenly aware that I was horny. "You think so, Baby? I don't hear that much anymore."
"Well, you should," laying it on thick, figuring that she still had that itch that needed to be scratched, even at her age.
"Hmmmm," she smiled. "You know, I've always been nervous coming home this late, worried if somebody broke in or something."
Picking up on her line, I said, "I'd be happy to make sure you're in safe."
