Christopher offered to sleep on the couch, but that was impractical. Again, Zeke calmed his fears explaining that the bed was more than big enough for the both of them. Christopher began to have a bad feeling about it when they got to the room and he discovered there was only one bed. After all, they were both guys and sharing a room should be fine. Ruby had been Zeke's friend for years and she was happy to assist in his nefarious scheme.Ĭhristopher began to object when Zeke told him they only had one room, but Zeke told him not to be silly about it. He told Ruby that he was going to have fun making Christopher his bitch and that if he asked, Ruby should tell him she only had the one room. She had plenty of them, but Zeke requested one room with a king size bed. They ate steak for dinner and while Christopher went to the men's room, Zeke talked to Ruby about a room for the night. We can figure a way for you to pay me back." Zeke smiled. Get your coat on and I'll buy you dinner and get you a room for the night." Zeke instructed. I ain't going to have no dead boy in my truck tomorrow morning. "Boy, you'll freeze your ass staying in the truck. I could just sleep here in the truck for the night." "C'mon, boy, let's get something to eat and see if Ruby's got some rooms for the night." Zeke said. About ten minutes later, Zeke parked his rig in the truck stop lot and began to put his coat on. It seemed that the main mountain pass was closed because of the storm and the trucker advised Zeke to seek shelter at Ruby's truck stop.
After about an hour though, Zeke got a message from a fellow driver on his CB. Despite his country-boy, aw-shucks manner, Zeke was pretty astute and a good conversationalist. Christopher began to enjoy talking with Zeke. Thankfully, the conversation drifted to topics like sports and politics instead of sex. It'll warm you up."Ĭhristopher poured himself some coffee and they sat and conversed as they drove. Reach in the back and get yourself a cup and pour some. "Hey, I got some hot coffee in that thermos. "Not the way I would put it, but I guess that's accurate." Christopher replied. "Then that makes you a gay virgin." Zeke said laughing heartily. "Yeah, I just figured college boys were always experimenting and stuff." And you ain't done nothing with the boys at school?" "Don't have time with study and everything." But she went to school on the other side of the country, so we broke up." I'm straight." Christopher said in a huff. Kind of boy a real man would like to use." I'm guessing you're about five-six and maybe a hundred and twenty pounds.
"No! I'm not gay!" Christopher protested. "I don't know anything about that." Christopher said. "'Bout how all those queer college boys there always having sex with each other." "I hitched a ride with a nice old couple, but they could only take me this far. "I'm on my way back to school." Christopher replied. "What you doing hitching on a foul night like this, boy?' Zeke asked. Christopher guessed that he must be well over six feet tall and probably 250 to 300 pounds probably in his forties or fifties. His hand seemed to disappear inside of Zeke's grasp. "Name's Zeke," the driver said and extended his hand.Ĭhristopher took the offered hand and shook it. "No problem, son." The driver smiled at him.
He climbed up into the cab and smiled thankfully at the driver. He was elated when the huge semi pulled over to pick him up. Combined with a wind-chill factor in the teens, Christopher was almost frozen stiff. A wet, heavy incessant snow that was covering everything including the highway.
