Sexy And On Fire

30. Sexy And On Fire

As I prepared to cast off for parts unknown, I had made all preparations except food and fuel. And I still wanted to say my goodbyes to my local lovers. Marcy had been so accommodating by giving my passengers jobs, I owed her a special thanks.

The problem with Marcy was finding time on her busy schedule. Running a popular hot spot restaurant single handedly was more than a full-time job. She rarely had a day off. I checked the restaurant web page and discovered that it didn’t open until noon on Sundays. Maybe that was it. A Sunday morning date. Worth a try.

It was Friday, just after 9 a.m., before the restaurant opened. I called hoping for the best. It went to a pre-recorded “restaurant not open, call back, hours are” blah, blah, blah. I knew that if you pressed certain digits, it would bypass the recording. But what digits, what sequence? Fuck. So I just started pressing random numbers, pound sign, whatever.

Suddenly, a human voice. “Hello?” I knew that I wouldn’t get through to Marcy as just her friend Sailor calling, so I lied.

“Yeah, this is Gary calling from your supplier. We’re having an issue with your rush order. Marcy said to call with an update but I lost her direct number. Can you put me through to her, please. She’s waiting for this call.”

“Please hold.”

“This is Marcy. What is this about?”

“Oh, thank God. It worked. You are one difficult lady to get through to. Incredibly beautiful and sexy but impossible to reach.”

“Sailor! You asshole! Leave it to you, my God, the world would be one big toga party! What the fuck do you want now?”

“That’s no way to talk to an old friend and lover, especially one who’s kissed your ass. I mean literally kissed your asshole!”

“You are too much, you old fart! And don’t forget – I’ve kissed yours, too! Works both ways, chump. Now, do you need bail money or are you just looking for a blowjob? I’ve got a couple servers who can do the blowjob thing.”

“Thanks but just text me their numbers, huh? Seriously, Marcy, I’m planning to cast off soon. I haven’t gotten to see you much and you did me a huge favor. I’d really like to see you once more before I go. You deserve an extra special thank you. The restaurant doesn’t open until noon on Sunday. Any chance you could spend a couple hours with me Sunday morning? Like a sunrise date?”

“Hmmm …. Let me think. Sunday is our big brunch day, uber busy. But my kitchen staff is pretty well seasoned now. I think they could get by without me for a few hours on Sunday. Sure, Sailor. You’re on. Sunday at …?”

“Let’s make it coffee at 8.”

I spent Saturday grocery and booze shopping.
