Falling through the roof of a burning building, breaking my ankle, hip and a few ribs, was not what I had planned near the end of my career in the fire service, but it is the reason that I ended up retired at the age of 45. Trying to plan my future well, I moved out of the expensive San Francisco Bay Area in California and settled in northern San Diego County in a beautiful townhouse with a view of the ocean. The long, public walking path that my townhouse backed up to was a perfect place for me to walk or bike as I continued the rehab that would no doubt last the rest of my life.
I loved my small backyard. It opened up to the path and gave me just enough room to do some gardening, have a small, private hot tub, and a place to BBQ and relax. As a bonus, my master bedroom and home office were on the second story of the home and gave me a glimpse of the beautiful, southern California coast; especially brilliant at sunset each night.
Having a glass of wine at sunset, relaxing in a lounge chair, at sunset was one of my favorite evening activities. The people watching of the folks that used the walking path was a favorite pastime of mine; sometimes wondering why there were so animated and other times wondering why they made lycra outfits in such large sizes. Some people just needed to get a clue.
One evening, I returned from refilling my wine glass with a wonderful French rose I was enjoying and resumed my seat on my patio only to glance up and wonder why someone thought that plopping down on the path was a good way to exercise. As I settled into my seat and continued reading the news of the days events on social media, I glanced up again thinking I had heard whimpering coming from the same direction as the person who had taken up residence on the gravel path. It was then I looked closer and realized this person, a young looking woman, was writhing in pain and looking around for help that wasn't coming.
"I'm retired now," was my first thought, "get your ass up and see what's wrong and render aid" was fortunately my more dominant thought. I retrieved a jump kit, a fancy name for an advanced first aid kit, from my garage and strolled up to the walking path. As I approached the down runner, she was clearly in a good deal of pain and looking around in a helpless fashion.
"Hi. Can I help you," I asked as I approached her?
Sucking up her sniffles from crying she managed to say, "Yes. Please. I can't walk."
As I got to her, I knelt down and noticed she was grabbing her ankle. "How did you end up here," I asked?
"Well, the alien spaceship that kidnapped me, dropped me here from about 20' up and I hurt my ankle when I landed," she said sarcastically.
"Well then, I don't help people that have spent time in a UFO, so I'm outa here."
"Ha ha. Sorry," she said, "I was running and rolled my ankle something fierce in that hole and I cannot walk."
"Well, to start, I'm John. I am a retired firefighter/paramedic and happy to help if you'd like me to."
"If I don't accept your help, I'll have to wait to be kidnapped again so, sure, I am happy to have you help me. I'm Stacey by the way."
"Hi Stacey," I said looking at her ankle. "It is hard to say exactly what is wrong, but I do know it won't get better by just sitting here. Can I carry you over to my patio right over there and see if I can get you back into some sort of travelling shape?"
"Sure. Do whatever you have to do. My car is parked way down at the shopping center about a mile from here, so I could at least Uber from your house."
I gathered Stacey up into my arms, her arms latched around my neck. It was on the short distance to my patio that I realized what I had in my arms. Stacey seemed to be in her 20's and was very cute. She was only about 5' 2" and just over 100 pounds; an easy carry for a 6' 2", 210 pound retired firefighter. She had on short, running shorts and a sports bra that worked hard to cover her incredible rack; the second thing I noticed. The first was how fucking cute she was. In my career as a paramedic I had met my share of hot babes, but it had been awhile.
I laid her down gently on a chaise lounger on my patio and offered to get her a drink. "Well, what do you have that will take away this pain," she asked?
"Well, just about anything you want assuming you're at least 21," I replied.
"Isn't everyone at least 21 when they feel like this?" she asked. "I'm 24, but my ID is in my car sir. If that satisfies you, I'd love something strong and cold."
I returned with a margarita on the rocks. Stacey gulped most of it down, shook off the brain freeze, and relaxed for the first time laying back into the chaise lounger. Her tits more than filled her sports bra and her nipples hinted at pointing through.
"May I removed your running shoe and have a closer look at the ankle," I asked permission? Receiving permission, I removed her shoe gently and found she had a badly sprained ankle. "Well, the good news is, it isn't broken. The bad news is, sometimes sprains hurt even more."
I retrieved an ice pack from my back and wrapped it to her swelling ankle with an ace bandage. "Thank you," Stacey said. "Now I just need to figure out how to get back to my car. At least it is my left foot, so I think I can drive."
"Well, let's let the ice take effect a little and then I can give you a ride to your car," I offered.
"That is really sweet. Sorry I was a sarcastic bitch earlier, it's just that this is just one more thing in a series of things," Stacey offered.
"It is totally fine," I replied, "And, I'm sorry to hear you haven't had such a good time lately."
"Yeah. It has been tough lately. I moved here a few months ago with my lazy ass boyfriend and he promptly cheated on me and dumped me for a fat bitch he works with. Now I'm stuck out here, and now this."
"Wow. Maybe another margarita would help," I said grabbing Stacey's glass and heading back inside.
"That would be awesome," she yelled after me.
I returned from the bar and asked, "So, where was home before this?"
"Boston."
"Wow. That is a long way from home. Well, consider yourself having a new friend out here in California," I said. "And one that would love to see you naked," the pervert part of me thought quietly.
"You are so sweet," she thanked me.
After talking a little more, I removed the ice bag, wrapped up her ankle tightly, and wrapped her in a blanket as the outdoor temp cooled down. One more margarita down to kill off the pain and she announced, "I am pretty buzzed, John. I probably either need to go home or spend the night."
