Author's note
: To who it may concern, I know I haven't been the best at posting Pt. 2s of my stories, and I'm sorry for that. This time I've tried to circumvent this habit of mine by writing out all three parts at once before posting them. I'm not sure if I'm coming back to my other stories as I've kind lost the inspiration for them. Maybe someday. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this, cheers y'all
A familiar customer (1/3)
A single droplet of sweat ran down John's temple as he peered into the darkness. The street in front of him was deserted and from his vantage point he could only make out a large dark mass around the next corner of the block. Only a spattering of flickering street lamps dimly illuminated the scene.
John shifted uncomfortably, he had been kneeling for the better part of half an hour and his legs were beginning to ache. The droplet ran into his eye and he tried to blink it away when suddenly he had to crouch deeper into the bush, he was hiding in. The door to the public restroom he had been watching had opened.
It was several paces from the cone of one of the lamps so he could barely make out the shape of the figure exiting. Judging by the breadth of its shoulders though John guessed it had to be a male. The guy took one step out of the doorframe, then seemed to be looking around.
Avoiding the light of the lamps he quickly walked over to the dark mass around the corner and vanished behind it. Suddenly an engine roared to life and John had to close his eyes, blinded by the glare of head lights.
When he opened them again everything just stayed black and it took him a moment to readjust to the darkness. When he finally did, he noticed the car was gone and the street was deserted once more.
John sighed and looked at his watch. It was around half past nine. He wanted to be sure before he made his move. And the rumors he had heard weren't good enough for him. He had to know for sure.
He was about to give up and just take the bus home when he looked up and almost cried out in surprise. There she was, standing right in the middle of a cone of light, leaning against a lamp pole and slowly sucking on a cigarette. There was no doubt, he'd recognize her anywhere. After all he had known her all his life, and 18 years was a long time. To John it was, anyways.
He just stared at her from his hiding place, admiring the black skin tight dress she was wearing. It suited her. John knew she was 34 but you wouldn't guess it by looking at her. His eyes caught on her ample cleavage and for a moment his head was empty of all thought as his blood rushed elsewhere.
After some time, the woman flicked what was now only a stump to the ground, stomped on it with her shoe, and turned around to reenter the public bathroom. John suddenly felt giddy.
"Am I really going to do this," he thought to himself.
Unconsciously his hand tightened around the stack of 20$ bills he had spent the whole summer earning. It didn't help. He had no idea how much it would cost and the thought of not having enough money with him made him even more nervous. His mouth suddenly felt dry and he swallowed.
"To hell with it" he thought, "this is your chance, now move!"
His legs obeyed and he got up, slowly making his way over the street towards the door. Just like the guy, he avoided the cones of light. When he stood right in front of the entrance, he hesitated again. This was his last chance. He could still turn around and no one would ever know he had even been gone. After a moment of indecision, he steadied himself and pushed through the door.
