The events in this story happened in late 1998 when I was 25 but the backstory starts earlier.
I was Pinole Valley High School (PVHS) Class of 1990. Most people don't have a clue what that means, but Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt of Green Day were also PVHS Class of 1990. Billy Joe didn't graduate, but Mike Dirnt did in case the band thing didn't work out. Gino Toretta who got the Heisman Trophy in 1992 also went to PVHS but was a Senior when I was a Sophomore.
When I was Sophomore, there was a girl I was attracted to but who wouldn't give me the time of day. That wasn't unusual, there were many girls I was attracted to who wouldn't give me the time of day. When Green Day's "Nice Guys Finish Last" came out, all of my PVHS friends joked that the song had written about me. I was the nice guy that the girls just didn't think had anything to offer.
Sexually, I was a very late bloomer. I'd always been attracted to girls several years older than I was, but they were usually attracted to guys several years older than they were. In 1998 at 25, I was still a virgin except for three blow jobs I had received from street prostitutes in San Francisco. I was a fan of a strip club there called "The Hungry I" which I liked because it wasn't ever crowded and the bartender was cool, and on three occasions I did seek street hookers after I had been there. I had never been with a girl I hadn't paid to be with.
In 1998, I went into a dive bar called "The Capri Club" in El Sobrante. A lot of bikers went to that bar, occasionally a few people from the Richmond, CA charter of the Hell's Angels were there but mostly it was bikers not associated with a club. I was not a biker but I lived walking distance from the bar, so if I went there, I could just walk home and not drive while intoxicated.
One Friday night while there, I sat down at the bar and had a nice conversation with another man and a woman about bands from the late 1960s and early 70s such as Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, etc. We had not met each other before, or so I thought. She was clearly a couple of years older than me, and the other guy in the conversation was clearly a couple of years older than she was. Story of my life, I didn't even try to come on to her because I figured if she was going home with anyone, it was him, so I just enjoyed the conversation while I was allowed to. I didn't even buy her any drinks, he did.
As closing time came around, he popped the question to her, telling her, "I usually don't pick up women at bars, but I really enjoyed our conversation, and would like to take you home."
She rejected him, saying, "I can't, my mom is with my kid and I have to get home."
He told her he understood and then he left. As soon as he walked out the door, she turned to me and said, "My kid is at my mom's house. Come home with me."
Holy fucking shit. I was in seventh heaven. I didn't even come on to her, I didn't even buy her any drinks, but she chose ME.
I'm a slow drinker and I don't drink hard liquor, it typically takes me thirty minutes to finish a beer. My guess is I was over the legal limit, but I wasn't drunk. She gave me the keys to her car, and I drove to her place. First we stopped at a 24-hour supermarket to get condoms but the condoms were in the pharmacy area that was closed off at night, so we decided (much to my disappointment) that we would only have oral sex. If we had thought ahead, there was a condom machine at the bar, but when we left the bar we thought we could pick them up cheaper at the supermarket.
When we got to her apartment, she told me to wait in her living room while she 'prepared herself'. As I looked around at her pictures, she had her Senior Prom picture on the wall, and that's when I recognized her. She was one of the Seniors during my Sophomore year that rolled her eyes and totally ignored me when I tried to make conversation, making it quite obvious that I wasn't going to get anywhere.
She came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a pink camisole. She lifted up the front to reveal her freshly shaved pussy and said, "I'm ready".
I didn't tell her this, but while I had seen plenty of fully shaved pussies at 'The Hungry I' I was actually more partial to some hair down there. Now, I don't really give a fuck, but back then I did. However, I was still willing to eat it.
