School Reunion

Trevor rode his motorcycle up Main Street and not much had changed since high school. They still rolled up the sidewalks at night. There was one grocery store, drug store, and the movie theater. There was a drive-in outside of town. Debbie his girlfriend all through junior and senior year worked at the concision stand. After she closed it down near the end of the movie, she would come to the car with a box of popcorn for him and all old maids for her. They would make out for a while, but that was all. She was a fantastic kisser. He loved her lips and

He stopped at the café. It was still just open mornings and for lunch. During senior year they would sneak out during study hall and walk up from school and get hamburger and fries and put money in the juke box. Study hall was designed so kids could get their homework done and not have to do it home. Trevor was one of the weird kids who actually liked doing homework and would do things for extra credit. It was an opportunity to stay in his room and not deal with his father or step-mother. He never thought the marriage would last, and it didn't just three years. He came back for his father's funeral and left a forwarding address at the post office which is how Debbie got in contact with him about the twenty-year class union.

At the only motel in town, he got a room. After taking a shower, he was having second thoughts about the reunion. Debbie and a couple of her friends were the only ones he used to hang out with but found himself sending a text that he was staying at the motel and was looking forward to seeing her tomorrow at the school.

He got on the bed and fell asleep. It was three days of hard riding from Colorado where he was working on a big construction project; an entire new subdivision of two hundred homes was being put up. Since he was a jack of all trades having done, electrical, plumbing, drywall and roofing, he got the job and after just a week was made foreman in charge of twenty workers. Most jobs went in phases, and now the work was shut down as they waited for more materials and permits. The construction company gave him a week off.

It took a few moments before he realized that someone was knocking at the door. He was in a deep sleep. On the way here the only sleep he got was in a pup tent pitched in parks or rest areas for a couple of hours when he was too tired to ride anymore. The clock said it was nine. Without even thinking he opened the door with nothing but briefs on and there stood Debbie. She was still pretty with blonde hair down to her shoulders, green eyes, and a pair of full lips that he never wanted to stop kissing.
