Its 20 years ago now, new start to the year and I meet a new client, a lecturer at a local college. He needs a new supplier for the college, a small account but I always saw potential in every deal. We meet a few weeks later at our offices, do some corrections and then because its end of day I invite him into our bar for a drink before heading home. His daughter calls and he directs her to where we are for her lift home. She arrives a while later, long brown hair, jeans, T shirt and generally a young 20 year old student I guess. And soon they go home and so do I. During that year this happens a few times and I get to feel he enjoys the free drinks before heading home but hey, why not? Maybe its also a place to wait for his daughter too, convenient. Then one day she arrives at the office, asks for her dad but hes not there I tell her. So she calls and by the sounds of it he has in some way forgotten, she then hands me the phone and he asks me if I would mind dropping her off due to his mistake. No problem , its only a few k's from my place and we head out, usual small talk, drop her off and I go home. And it happens again , a few more times but I get the feeling she is catching a free ride, a cigarette as well as the chats become more relaxed. One friday after she had again arrived for a lift, I had arranged to meet some friends at one of the umbilo music pubs, she was ok with that and we stopped had two drinks then headed off. I was by this time enjoying her sporadic lift arrangements. As every guy does I did have thoughts about things but being 18 years older than her I held back, one time I asked her about her boyfriend and she laughed that she didnt have one, just some casual dating but no serious one. i was also single which she asked about and we both smiled... Ok, but to be honest I still thought it wouldnt be right to pursue anything . Then one friday when she again asked for a lift, in conversation she told me her folks had gone away and she was wondering what to do...so we popped in to the same pub, had a drink then on the way home I offered her a Nandos, she agreed and then headed to my place to eat with the plan I would take her home after. All good, at my place after eating, listening to 'old timer rock' she did know quite a bit of it which was impressive and flattering. I took her home and when I dropped her off she leaned over and gave me a peck on the cheek and squeezed my hand while thanking me. Cheers, see you soon? Ok she says, tomorrow night...giggling... That sounds good I say, shall I fetch you? Serious ? she asks Yep...why not? Ok see you tomorrow...what time?...where shall we go? My throat tightens, this is getting rather interesting, is she having me on? And I arrive there in the afternoon, she greets me dressed in her usual jeans and Tshirt and now I notice she doesnt wear a bra either and I think I must have stared for a while before she turned and lead me inside. We listened to het dads music, zeppelin, stones,dylan and while she played them she danced around ,she got me a few drinks and we went and got some takeaway before I couldnt drive, ate ,had a few laughs, in the back of my mind I was also thinking that I still had to drive so started saying no to any more booze , but she just said you can stay here.....of course I said jokingly , why hadnt I thought of that.... I asked her for a cup of coffee for the road and she insisted that I could stay, no problem she said,.....ok but I still need coffee. While we are standing as she makes the coffee, she turns to me and says...I hope you are ok with what I want to say... Yes no problem I say.... Ok she says....would you have sex with me?.... Fuck!...serious? I ask her? Yes she says...Its something I want to try you know.... to be continued...
