We still disagree on who seduced who 38 years later. She takes credit for it, was all her she says. I say it was the ride on my bike and where I took her. What we do agree on is we were fucking within 90 minutes of meeting each other. This is how it happened.
1980, we were 20 years old. My ship had been back from six months in the Mediterranean for two weeks, 10 of those days I spent at home visiting my elderly parents. The eight hour ride back to Norfolk took almost 12 hours due to rain and traffic jams. All I wanted to do was get back to my ship, dry off, then crawl in my rack for the next 12 hours. It wasn’t meant to be though.
My good buddy Bob told me of a party going on that night at a mutual friend’s house on the beach up in Oceanview. “You gotta go, wait until you see the new redhead that transferred here”.
