58 Thunderbird

Dollar Bill and I stood outside of my apartment that morning talking and drinking two hot steaming tumblers of coffee...

''So Ralph, our girl is graduating this weekend eh?" he asked.

''Yessirr...I'm driving up to see it." I said.

"You takin , uh Rowena?" he asked...

''Nah...Nah...I don't know if she's coming up at all.." I said.

"What about your English chippy, Minay?" he asked...

''She's in the U.K. visiting her folks...so I guess I'll hook up with her in a few weeks." I said.

'' So wait a minute..Let me get this straight... You, Ralph Scallion...Horniest toad ever is without a woman, going on a road trip to your daughter's graduation alone right?   You must have some chippy up there at the school?" laughed Dollar Bill.

"Uh No...Nah Bill...I'm just drivin up to see Raquel graduate from my alma -mata..The Culinary Institute of Pennsylvania...This aint about me and no other woman.." I said.

''Uhhh Huh and I gotta bridge in San-Francisco I'd like to sell ya." he laughed....

"Where is Kevin with my car?" I asked...changing the subject...

Just then Kevin Morris and his friend, Clerow drove up in the car I had ordered...a 1958 Thunderbird in Mint condition... Kevin's wife Sepia drove up behind them in her Lexus

"Heyyy Kev...What's goin on Clerow?  Heyyyy Foxy lady.." I said to my friends and smiled...

Kevin parked the car and he and Clerow got out...Kevin tossed me the keys.....

"Here you go Ralph...Just what you ordered." he said.

"Sure is nice of Mr. Rollerson to let me have this car.I've always loved classics." I smiled.

"Sure is....Now level with me....Just what favor do you owe him?" asked Kevin slyly...pulling me to the side .

"Kev....I catered his last event...He said the food was off the rails...I had a crew of 13 cooks under me.." I said.

Kevin gave me the side eye.......

''Okay...damn Kev..Always the detective. Mr. Rollerson's fiance found a pair of panties and a bra in the coatroom and I uh...I uh....ruh...confessed that I had a girl up there during the dinner." I said.

''But you didn't did you?" asked Kevin.

"No..not this time....After we finished the meal and cleaned up...Me and one of the waiters was drinkin some wine out back.....We heard the headboard slammin up against the wall and some moanin...and we laughed about it....Next day, Mr. Rollerson called me and asked me to do him a solid..To tell his fiance that I had a girl up there...Well, she knows of my past reputation, so it wasn't too hard for her to believe." I said.

"Man, Do you know how many of the same type jams I have gotten Rollie Rollerson out of ? " said Kevin...

"Well, judging the fact that you and your wife are both driving new Lexus's...I'd say several..am I right?" I asked.

"Guilty as charged brother!" said Kevin and we both laughed out loud and slapped palms...

"Next to cooking food , driving is my other passion..I love to just drive for the hell of it...Mr. Rollerson has several vintage cars that he just restores and never drives...I asked for the 58 Thunderbird....Classic car and plus, my daddy drove one." I said.

"You know ,I love driving too...Wow, we got something in common Ralph." said Kevin.

Kevin and I walked over to the car, Clerow ,Sepia and Dollar Bill were admiring it..

"Nice ride man." said Clerow.

"Thanks man." I said.

''Whoooo  weee...and you sure you aint got no woman goin with ya?" asked Dollar Bill.

"He better not be steppin out on my girl Minay....You gotta good woman Ralph...don't blow it." chided Sepia.

"I told you all..I'm going to see my daughter graduate.." I said.

"Hmmmmph." laughed Dollar Bill...

''Well anyway..Thanks Kev ,Clerow for bringing the car..I gotta get packed." I said.

"When you comin back?" asked Sepia.

"In a few days." I said.

"Well have a safe trip and be good." said Sepia with a playful nudge...

''Kev, come get your wife." I laughed jokingly...

Kevin and Clerow got in Sepia's Lexus and pulled off and Dollar Bill got in his car and pulled off... I packed a few things and hopped in my '58 Thunderbird and hit the road..

II-

I hit the highway and was driving for a little over an hour and a half when it began to rain.....I stopped in a little
town along the way and entered the diner... It was a typical little diner like you'd see on television...Small town...Mostly truck drivers and workmen frequented this place.   There were two black cooks in the kitchen out of a total of about seven cooks and two black waitresses...One was an elderly woman and the other one was a real cutie pie...She looked maybe only a few years older than my daughter...

It was my luck that the cute young Black waitress waited on me....

''What are you having?" she asked.

"You mean what would I like to have or what am I havin?" I said.....I can't help it...I'm a helpless flirt!  She looked at me and laughed...

"Ouuuuu, you so naughty." she said and laughed again.

"Just kiddin." I said..

"So what do you want?" she asked.

''Ummmph..another leading question...."I said...."No seriously, a Cheeseburger, Onion Rings and a Vanilla Milk Shake..." I continued..

She brought me my food promptly and periodically while I ate , she would come by , see if I wanted anything else or was alright and chit chat in between waiting on other customers... I told her about my daughter's graduation from the Institute of Culinary Arts and how I had gone there myself and how I was so proud of her
and all..

''Wow..so you're a cook huh?" she asked.

"A chef...I work at a seafood restaraunt in Philly." I said.

''Yeah?  I got cousins in Philly..I'm down there a lot." she said.

"Oh yeah...well next time you're there..check out "Bottom of the C"..That's where I work." I said.

"Does Mrs. Scallion work near there?" she asked kind of coyly...

"There is no Mrs. Scallion." I said.

"No?  Well how bout your girlfriend?" she asked.

"She doesn't live too far from there...She's out of the country now." I said.

"Oh?" she asked...

"Visiting her folks in London." I said.

"A white gal huh?" she asked.

"No, she's Black..a Black Britisher.." I said.

"So...you're all alone for the weekend huh?" she asked..

''Well you know how that goes? " I laughed.....

"Yeah..I know.." she laughed.

''Hey..could I have a slice of Apple Pie to go?" I asked..

"You can have anything you want?" she said and gave me a side eye and a sly grin.

III-



In less than no time...I was parking my car behind her car...a dark Blue, 2009 Ford Focus and following her up to her apartment....in the small town about ten miles from the diner....We were kissing passionately like we had known each other for years before we even got inside the door and then finally we were feverishly pulling each other's clothes off.....

I had her up against the wall trying to drill a hole into her practically....kissing,licking, fondling her breasts and finally lifting her up and entering her.....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..Mister Ralph..Mister Ralph..please...ouuuuuuu it feels so good...but put on a condom...,pullout, put on a condom first." she said between more kisses, more tonguing each other down , more fondling and squeezing...I ran to my pants and fished one out of my wallet and slipped it on...

''WOW...you think that one is big enough to contain all of that?" she marveled.... I smiled and we resumed making love standing up....

"OHHHHHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD...IT is so bigggg...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....." she screamed as I lifted her up and began walking toward her bed with still passionately stroking her...

''OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.." she screamed as I layed her down on her unmade bed and began to pump furiously...

"OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned loudly...Glad she didn't have a neighbor like mine that banged on the wall all the time when I was getting my groove on...

We continued to make love on her bed for close to three hours....I couldn't get enough...She was so soft and so wet and it had been a couple of weeks since I'd had some good loving.....

Finally, she began to shake and shiver and moan even louder......

''Ohhhhh Good LOARD..I'm cummming......OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."she howled....


I came too...shortly afterwords....and collapsed on top of her....I rolled over...exhausted....That was the last thing I remembered.

IV-

The next morning , I woke up...The covers were over me and this girl was beside me sleeping as sound as a baby...The condom was still on me...I slipped it off, walked into her bathroom and deposited it in the toilet and flushed it.

I slipped on my clothes and stared out the window....This wasn't Philly...It was quiet..Not a car on the street or a person walking .......It had stopped raining....The girl was snoring now...rather loudly...I didn't want to wake her.   I let myself out and closed the door.

I hated to just leave like that...but I had to get back on the road....

As I drove off and hit the highway , I thought to myself....I didn't even get that girl's name!
