In The Navy (FT “C” School), Part 10

Just to clarify one thing, I had broken up with my girlfriend at this point.

The lass (I couldn’t give you a name if you held a gun to my head) and I went to the Hotel and it turned out I had just enough cash to get a single room, just barely. The Hotel was a pretty nice one, but we got the “hairy eyeball” from the desk clerk. Give me a break; this was a first for me!

We went to the room and did what two single people do in a situation like that (did you think I would go into details?). I will say one thing about it and I don’t mean to slight anyone, but “the bush needed a trim”. There was so much foliage, that I was actually sore afterward. Then we slept.

In the morning, she wanted to go at it again, which we did. If I thought I was sore before, now I was chapped. It hurt so bad I actually faked the finish (yes, usually the girls do that, but guys can too). We dressed and I set off with her in the passenger seat, to her home in South Lyon. She gave me directions as we went, which I needed because I had never been in this part of town. We got to her Mother’s place and went inside.

The house was pretty old and had creaky floors. I think I had some coffee and a kiss goodbye. I did get a number, but didn’t keep it. She was a few years older than I was (I found out 4 years) and a long distance relationship with a chick in Boston was not appealing. Besides, how many other times had/would she jump into the sack with a total stranger she had just met? It was what it was, a one night stand.

This is damned embarrassing and funny too. Before I walked out to the car, I knew it was on fumes and I had no cash or credit card. I had to ask for a few bucks to get me home. She gave me a five dollar bill and off I went. It’s not like I hadn’t laid out the cash the night before for drinks and the room. It was still embarrassing to ask for money though.

I went to the nearest gas station I could find, it was early in the morning and some places were closed. I put in the $5 worth and hoped it would be enough to get me back to the barracks. Remember I have a gas-hog of a car?

I did make it back and my friends wanted the whole story. They died laughing when I told them about how sore I was. It actually hurt for a few days. That part of the male body seems to heal quickly.

Some time before the one night stand I had resumed “C” School again. This time I was going to night school, instead of the daytime course, which was interesting. We started at 3:30PM and went till 10:30 or 11PM. I will get into the whole new circumstance of night school next….
