(This story takes place immediately after Drummer Boy β The Call.)
A few minutes after leaving the Motel 6, Jason was inside the Waffle House. It was one of those combo restaurant / truck stops with the restaurant on one side, convenience store on the other, and the restrooms (including rent-a-showers for the truckers) in the middle.
Jason got a table on the restaurant side and ordered a sausage and pancake breakfast. It was closer to lunchtime than breakfast, but whatever. He needed the protein. Or the carbs. Hell, he didn't know which was which. Health stuff was Kristin's bag, not his, but he knew he needed something substantial.
After he gave his order to the waiter, Jason ducked into the bathroom to wash up a bit. A shower was out of the question, but he could at least get the dried cum off his face. And elsewhere. He spent a few frenzied minutes taking care of business, hoping he washed away everything obvious, and headed back to the restaurant.
When he returned, Kristin was sitting at his table, fiddling with her phone. Jason slid into the seat across the table from her and said, "Hey."
"Hey back at you," Kristin said. She put her phone away and met his gaze.
"How'd you know where I was sitting?" he asked.
"Easy," Kristin said. "I just asked about a guilty-looking guy with great forearms." She narrowed her eyes at him. "Looks like you fit the bill."
Jason grinned sheepishly. He was definitely rumpled, that much he knew from his reflection in the bathroom mirror, but apparently he'd failed the "looking guilty" test.
Kristin looked as gorgeous as ever. She was dressed in her running clothes, ready for her afternoon run, although she hadn't gone yet. She wore a white tank top, under which he could see the outline of a sea green jogging bra. The bra flattened her breasts considerably, but there was no denying the stunning pair she sported underneath.
He'd caught a glimpse of her black running shorts as he sat down and got a thrill from seeing her long, toned legs crossed under the table.
Oddly, she was wearing makeup. Not a lot, but the fact that she had applied smoky brown eyeshadow, peach lip gloss and just a hint of blush made him wonder if she really intended to go running.
The total effect of this had Jason mesmerized. He couldn't help but stare into her icy blues. He wanted to skip the talking and just kiss her lips, let his hands play along her body, dallying where they may...
"Wake up, drummer boy," Kristin snapped.
"Sorry," Jason said. "I'm a little out of it."
"And why is that?" Kristin said coolly.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," he said.
"Why don't you give it your best shot," Kristin said.
Jason knew he had to tread carefully, here. 'Open and honest' was one thing, but this was gonna be a hard sell. Still, he had to talk to someone about it; might as well be Kristin.
"So, last night," he began, "after the show, after that bullshit with Percy... there was this girl."
"Of course there was," Kristin said, not bothering to hide the disdain in her voice.
"And well, yeah, we had sex," Jason said.
"Shocker," said Kristin. She put the straw of her water glass to her lips. She drew a long drink from it and said, "Anything else?"
"Well... yeah, kinda," Jason said.
"Okay, then," Kristin prompted. "Out with it."
"Look..." Jason said, "you're not gonna freak out if I tell you some stuff, are you?"
Kristin put her glass down on the table, a little too heavily, it seemed to Jason.
"If you're planning on giving me a play-by-play of what went down," Kristin said, "don't bother. Just be honest. That's the rule."
"You bet," Jason said. "It's just that... this chick was really freaky."
"I said I don't want detailsβ "
"I don't mean like freaky sexy," Jason said. "I mean freaky scary."
"Dear god," Kristin said. "You didn't hook up with some meth head, did you? 'Cause that's a deal-breaker. I'm not risking a cooch full of STDs for you."
"Hey, give me some fucking credit. I have standards," Jason said. "No, I think this chick was some sort of witch... or something."
Kristin's arched her eyebrows in suspicion. "Really?" she said. "Like some mother earth, twigs and bark-eating, hairy armpits granola gal?"
"No no, not like that," Jason said. "I mean like a
real
witch."
"And why do you say that?" Kristin said.
"She was doing... I don't know how else to put it... magic stuff," Jason said, "and it was totally working."
"Riiiight," Kristin said. "Like that trick where a skank pulls a hard-on out of the lucky volunteer's pants. Fall for that one every time, don't you?"
"Hey," Jason said, "I thought that this... thing... we've got going on only works if we're honest, right? So I'm telling you."
Kristin stared silently for a moment after he finished speaking, contemplating, and then said, "Okay. A witch, you say."
"Yeah," said Jason. "Or a demon, or something. I didn't want to fuck with her, but... there was this chalk circle, right? Well, not a circle really, it was more like an outline."
"And that's important because...?" Kristin said.
"I couldn't get out of the room!" Jason said. "I couldn't even reach the door! And... she was really strong. Like, she could pick me up one-handed."
"Butch gals," Kristin mused, "that's a new thing for you."
"But she wasn't, though," Jason said. "She was built like average." Except for her mind-bogglingly large breasts, he thought, with a mixture of awe and terror and not a little bit of shame...but he figured he was on thin ice already, and poking that nerve right now would be a bad idea.
"So then what?" Kristin said. "You just
had
to fuck this bitch, right?"
"It was totally against my will!" Jason blurted. "I didn't want to, see? But I was trapped, overpowered, and she kept using these spells on me..."
Kristin held up a hand. "Whoa," she said. "Spells? Isn't that a little much, Jason?"
"I swear," Jason said. "I didn't believe it myself at first. But something..." he glanced side to side and lowered his volume, "something
