Readers, this a fictional road story set in the 1980’s, before cell phones and the internet as we know it today. All sexualized characters are fictional and over 18. This is part eleven of what I hope will be a many part series.
It was a dark gray dawn that Molly awoke to, with a steady light rain falling on the tent. Molly got out from under the blankets to do some stretches in the cool air to try and work out a knot in her lower back.
For a few minutes Lou slept, breathing peacefully until he woke to the lovely sight of Molly’s ass while she was bent over before she straightened up and cracked her back for the second time this morning.
“Good Moring Molly. There is a lovely moon out today. He half yawned out to her. How are you feeling this morning?”
It took Molly’s coffee starved brain a moment to get his joke, before turning and looking down at his smiling face saying. “You dirty minded man, how are you on this cold and rainy morning?”
“I am good Molly. Is your back, ok?”
“I am stiff and not in a good way, but I will be fine in a little while, once I get warmer.” She reached over and put on one of his heavy shirts, to warm up, as Lou went to one of the bags for fresh underwear, socks, and a plain t-shirt.
“I think it is still early Molly. Do you want to have a wake and bake before we face the world today? Lou went to look out the tent door at Andromeda and it had to be before seven AM he figured. The hour time change had left them getting up early today. If you need a warm bed tonight, we can get a hotel?”
Molly finished getting the sweater over her head and putting his flannel shirt back on and told him while pulling a joint out of her bag. “No, I will be fine once I get warm. She passed him the lit joint and said exhaling. Let’s pick up all in here so it is safe for tonight and we can eat soon in a warm booth. I want pancakes and COFFEE!!” Molly added with a look of mild desperation as the caffeine monkey screamed to be fed!
“I need some soon too, but do you want to grab a shower first after our early morning fun?”
“Yes, I do need one before we go out and see the world. I need to wash my hair and it won’t matter today if it doesn’t dry with this weather.” Molly reached into one of the bags and put one of Lou’s baseball hats on over her head with laugh.
The tent cleaned and all was up and safe on the air mattress. Andromeda was all packed up before they went to shower and were surprised it was only 7:15 when they headed out.
By eight they were in the same warm booth as yesterday getting double stacks of buttermilk pancakes to go with MUCH coffee. They watched the weather on a TV as they ate and saw it was going to be a day like when they met Sara, cold and rainy.
“It’s going to be shitty all-day Molly and even though it’s Saturday I don’t think we’ll be busy. I am thinking about getting less then we normally do so we don’t get stuck with a lot of food for a week. What do you think?”
“I agree. We don’t need to be trying to keep meatballs on ice for a week through Arizona. That could end very badly!”
Molly scrunched her nose and made a face as she refilled her coffee for the third time. “Beer will still sell, and I will get us some sausages to cook up for us and friends and put them on our hot dog rolls. Do you want some peppers and onions to go with them?”
Lunch was sounding good and the check for breakfast hadn’t come yet.
They told they waitress they would see her again tomorrow before they started west and planned to be in Arizona in two days and then California a few days later but said they would be back this way in the next few months, with a smile to warm the cool rainy morning.
They headed out and went to the exit they had been told the big mall was at. Just at the end of the exit was an oil change chain store just opening for the morning at 9:10, as Lou rolled into the lot.
While they did the oil change on the car, they were talking with the workers who commented on its age and condition, along with noticing the Delaware plates.
They were talking with the manager, Hector, and they told him they were on their way to California and asked if they had a branch near LA that they could visit as he handed them a frequent oil change bonus card and punched it twice for them.
Hector laughed and said: “My cousin, Manny, just took over our affiliate on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Hey, can I ask you guys to do me a favor? You got that big wagon, and some extra room can you bring Manny these two boxes, they’re just records?”
He showed them that there was only paper and not anything they could get arrested for in the boxes. It would save me a fortune in shipping for a bunch of paper only the company cares about, but he needs them for June first. He will hook you guys up out there and I will call him later and let him know you will be there in about a week.”
Molly said they were happy to help, and they sealed them in trash bags. They would be back this way in about a month and see them again for their oil change and anything else they needed, as they checked and topped off all of their other fluids and Hector gave them a half price deal for all and punched Lou’s frequent user card twice more.
They all left with smiles and Lou ran to the doughnut shop next door for three coffee’s for the crew and ten doughnuts after he and Molly took one each for their trip to the mall.
They got to the mall for around opening at ten and went to the Sears first so Lou could look in the garden center for a spade and a small hand rake and some other things he thought he might need. Next they went looking for some more clothes. Lou needed some more socks, and he found some more shorts on sale. Molly bought 2 white cotton sun dresses for herself and a smaller one for Sara.
Out in the main mall they found a camping store that had one pair of hunting underwear pants in Molly’s size, and she got them for cool days in a skirt or just plain cold days!! They got some more fuel for their grills and some other supplies they thought they might want. Lou found a pair of decent binoculars for fifty dollars and got them for some stargazing and sightseeing.
Both looked at the bookstore but knew if they went in they could be very late to the lot today. They headed to Andromeda and got to the entrance for the lot tenth in line fifteen minutes before the opening.
It looked to be less than half the cars at the opening yesterday, but Hailey, Irv, Val, Ed, Donna, and Maggie all were within twenty cars of them, and all were able to easily park together in the vendor area and work to get their vehicles together in the best way possible on this now steadily raining day.
Molly got the grills going while Lou, Irv, and Donna got everyone’s tarps together for maximum coverage on this shitty day. Hailey was happy to help them get the two dozen sausage links going on her grill for them while Lou cut up the peppers and onions for anyone who would want those, or they could use some of their meatball sauce. Within ten minutes people were asking if those were for sale.
