Walking into the truckstop, I tried to shake the snow off my coat. Just the short time I had been at the fuel pump, the freezing temps had made the crystals stick together and form clumps that each left a muffled sound as they fell to the tile floor.
Damn it would be good to be back in South Texas, where we never had to worry about this shit. I hated the cold, and the only thing that made it worse was the snow added in. Mother nature played tricks on everyone I guess, and the folks along I-40 in New Mexico, always seemed to get the last breath of winter in mid March.
The freezing rain, then the snow, then temps dropping into the teens. What could make your life more interesting than to have a deadline that required you to keep moving regardless. The added challenges of seeing the 4 wheelers disregarding driving conditions and pushing the envelope to get where they were going, just added to the excitement. I had heard stories from the state troopers of wrecks happening within minutes of their opening the gates to let traffic back on the interstate.
Thank God, I was through with this after getting back home. I had been fortunate over the years, with my OCD and connections I had built over the years, to stay busy the last 15 years. Sometimes busier than I had wanted, but had made very good money. The money combined with owning my truck outright thanks to a lucky streak at a casino in Kentucky, had enabled me to have nothing but clear profit after the first two weeks of the month.
Walking over to the coffee pots, a new face, greeted me. Dark hair, impeccable makeup, and a killer body immediately changed the frosty feeling in my bones to a warm surge. "I am Jayde, I am the new shift manager," she said as she rearranged the coffee pots. "You must be John," she said with a laugh.
"I am. Guess my reputation got here before I did," I replied as I filled up the cup before me. I was a frequent customer of this truckstop. The staff was friendly and they were always helpful when you had a problem. Not to mention that they had the hottest staff of any that I had ever seen. Over the years, I had tried to reward their kindness and professionalism with little tokens of my appreciation. On a couple of occasions, I had ordered in pizzas for everyone there. I had always tried to send flowers on special occasions that seemed to bring the most reaction from them, but generally just friendly thoughtful things.
"Yes, Natalie told me to watch out for you," Jayde said. Never looking up from the counter she was wiping down. Thank goodness, she didn't see the crimson color I could feel rushing over my face.
******************
Natalie, had been a previous manager of the truck stop. We had known each other for quite some time before we had inadvertently ran into each other at one of the local casinos. One thing led to another, and we ended up getting a room and spending the night pleasuring each other. There was something about Natalie, that absolutely drove me crazy. When we got together it was like a fire was burning inside of us, and there was only one way to douse the fire and that was with the sweet nectar that came from both sets of her lips.
The only drawback in these little excursions was Natalie's husband. I did not find out that she was married for the first couple of times we were together, but she let it slip by accident one night. I had decided that I did not need the hassle of a jealous husband, but the next time I had a layover in Albuquerque, we were at it again. We pushed the envelope often and it was always in the back of my mind that we were going to get caught.
Well, it happened... We got caught. Not by her husband, but by the police. I had stopped to fuel and shower, with no intention of doing more. After getting a shower assigned to me, I had gone in and started the water. Getting everything situated, I heard a knock on the door. When I opened it, Natalie pushed in and kissed me. Kissing me, she reached for my cock and immediately I could feel myself rising. I started taking her top off, and when I had her completely undressed set her up on the counter. When she leaned back against the mirror, her beautiful pussy was at the perfect position for some serious fucking. With her pussy tilted up, I was able to take long full strokes into her. Natalie had always been vocal, and I kind of got a thrill that other drivers could hear her outside the shower. Knowing this beautiful woman was in the shower with me, and I was being able to enjoy her beautiful body.
Just as we reached our climax, there was an unbelievable knock on the door. Sounded like they were trying to knock the door down. I didn't have time to think that it might have been Natalie's husband, I just jerked the door open. Standing at the door, gawking at me and Natalie naked, with me seeping from her beautiful pussy, this jack ass asked if I drover the burnt orange Kenworth. I said I did, and he said someone had hit my bumper in the parking lot. I told him to hold on, I would be right out. Natalie and I got dressed in silence and as I pulled my boots on, she opened the door and walked out.
The damage to my truck was bad, but not enough to keep me from continuing on my delivery. When I looked for Natalie, she was nowhere to be found, I thought the embarrassment would fade and I could make up with her later. I was wrong. The embarrassment of getting caught at work, nearly cost her her job, and definitely caused rumors to run rampant about her. We were friendly, but never intimate after that. ****************
As I sat the coffee and donuts on the counter, Jayde came over to ring up my purchase. "Sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you at the mention of Natalie's name," she said. "It was supposed to be funny."
I grinned and said, "no problem. Natalie and I have a history, that goes back a long way."
"I know," she replied as she gave me the total. " I like showers too, ya know."
I paid for my food and walked out to the fuel island. Just as I started to pull away from the pumps, I heard the tone come over the CB from the state police. I knew this was not going to be good, but listened to the message coming over the radio."
"Interstate 40 will be closed indefinitely from exit #126 to Exit #194." "This closure is due to blowing snow and visibility to less than 500 ft." "The New Mexico DOT will advise of any further details"
Shit, shit, shit. At least there were parking places before the trucks were pushed into the truck stops. As I pulled into the parking place, I tried making a mental list of what supplies were missing from my truck, in case I did indeed get stranded. The only thing I could think of that might make this possibly extended stranding more bearable was some bread for sandwiches, and maybe some chips to go along with it.
