Finally, after a long ten hour drive alone Tom had arrived at his destination, the town of Appleton. He had just finished his second year of college and had been looking forward to taking a relaxing few weeks to himself before he started the hunt for a summer job, but only a day after his last exam he had received a call from his uncle's attorney telling him his Uncle Simon had died. Apparently he was to receive an inheritance from him and all he had to do was make the trip in the next couple days to collect. This was pretty strange to Tom, seeing as how he had never known about an Uncle Simon.
After receiving the news Tom had considered not even going to meet with his uncle's lawyer. It seemed a little wrong of him to take a trip to a town he had never been to in order to get free stuff from a dead uncle that he had never actually met. It was only after he called him mom and asked her about her brother that he really decided that the trip would be worth it. According to her, Simon had always been a little eccentric when they were growing up, and she hadn't heard much of him after he had graduated college. Apparently he was an archeologist and had spent much of the past fifteen years or so travelling the world. By the sounds of it Tom was likely to at least get something interesting out of the trip, and maybe he could find out something about what his uncle was like.
Before he did anything though, Tom was in serious need of something to eat. His stomach rumbled as he pulled off of the highway into town. Luckily he wasn't set to meet with his Uncle's lawyer for another two hours, so he set off to find somewhere he could find a quick meal. As he drove down the main roads of the town, Tom could definitely tell that there was a university nearby, he estimated a population of maybe a couple thousand people at most, and a lot of the streets were pretty empty as a large chunk of the population had most likely either returned to their home, or in the case of university staff, were taking the semesters end as a chance to take a quick vacation. The town seemed nice though, a lot of quaint Victorian style housing, which probably made for great places for students to split with roommates. He did notice that as he moved closer towards the university itself the houses started to be replaced with more larger apartment buildings as well as amenities like grocery stores and the like. He even made a quick mental note of a sign that pointed out the direction to the local mall, a place he was sure he'd probably have to hit up once or twice during his stay.
After about ten or so minutes of driving, he found a small diner off of one of the main roads, a perfect place to grab a quick meal. He pulled into the parking lot and slid into one of the many open spots near the restaurant's front entrance. Before getting out of the car, he checked himself out in his rear view mirror, and was quick to note that the long ten hour drive had done nothing to help his already rather average appearance. His flat brown hair had developed a bit of a greasy sheen to it over the passed few hours, his face had a bit of uneven stubble developing around his chin and down his neck, and he had light bags starting to appear under his eyes.
"Definitely won't be impressing any girls today," he said to himself out loud as he started to climb out of the car. Not like he would have much luck any other day either.
Tom was good at a lot of things in life, he had a good mind for numbers, could type faster than anyone he'd ever met and he had an excellent memory. He was an excellent student who had breezed through most of his classes without any real effort, but he was definitely not great with girls. Just a little bit too shy, and his decidedly average appearance left him lacking the confidence to really impress a beautiful woman. He had girlfriends before, two in high school and another one in his first year of college, but those were short relationships of a few months, nothing worth writing home about.
Tom made a mental note of the diners name, "Sandy's" as he walked in the front entrance. The inside of the restaurant was nothing to write home about. Red booths lined the walls, with a couple of small tables in the centre of the floor. The walls were painted sky blue with the typical department store bought art hanging at regular intervals along them. The place was also pretty much empty, the only customer Tom saw was an older man off in the far left corner, drinking out of a coffee cup and reading the newspaper. It almost felt as if he had walked into a network T.V. Show the place was so stereotypical.
As soon as you walked in, there was a sign telling customers to seat themselves, so Tom followed its instructions and sat down at one of the booths with a window looking out at the parking lot and the road that ran alongside it. Tom quickly regretted not bringing a book or something else to read as he sat staring out the window for a few minutes, twiddling his thumbs on the table as he watched the occasional car drive down the street.
"Hello? Can I help you?" Tom heard a female voice ask, making him kind of jump in his seat.
He turned his head from the window and looked at the waitress standing off to the side of the table looking down at him. Tom went to place an order but immediately paused as he got a good look at his gorgeous server. She had long golden blonde hair that fell to the small of her back, beautiful brown eyes, and incredible looking tanned skin that looked completely devoid of any sort of mark or blemish that he could tell. She work a buttoned up white blouse and a black skirt down to a little above her knees, and while it didn't reveal anything, he could tell that underneath her shirt, this waitress had impressive curves.
"Hello?" She said again, this time a little bit more annoyed.
"Sorry, sorry," Tom apologized, his head finally jumping back into the real world. "I've just been on the road all day, kinda tired."
"Sure, whatever," she responded, clearly irritated. What are you ordering?"
"Uh... I'll just take a burger and fries I guess," Tom answered, a little taken aback by her tone, although not really surprised by it. He had been caught starting after all. "Oh and just like... a glass of water."
"Sure, that'll be a few minutes," she told him before turning and leaving abruptly. As she walked away though, Tom couldn't help but watch as she quickly walked back to the kitchen. Underneath her skirt you could definitely see what was surely an incredible ass hidden beneath. Even her fast pace couldn't stop the mesmerizing sway of her hips as she walked.
He got his food about ten minutes later, but the attractive waitress' demeanour had not improved much.
"It was a shame too," Tom thought to himself as he finished off his fries. "She's looks fucking incredible"
He walked up to the cash register to paid and they completed the transaction without speaking. Despite her clear look of annoyance, Tom couldn't help but think about how beautiful she was, the fact that she was still easily a ten despite not smiling since Tom had walked into the restaurant was a testament to that. He smiled at her as he handed her the cash to pay for him meal, a last ditch effort at breaking their awkward tension, but he was repaid with a sharp glare as she handed him his change. Oh well, nothing to be done about it now.
He got back into his car now fully fed and feeling a little bit more awake. Resolving to put his less than stellar interaction with his server behind him, Tom set off to do what he had travelled to Appleton to do, meet with his uncles lawyer. The two of them had agreed to meet as his uncles apartment at 6:30 pm, about fifteen minutes from when Tom had finished his food.
