During my junior year of college I got into a car wreck, banged up a bit, my car was totaled, I got a few bucks and the car I got was much better than my old one. My summer job ended 3 weeks before the semester started, so I got to just relax for a bit, something I had not done in several summers. I was hanging out with my friends one night, one of the girls was Lisa, pretty from So Cal, she was a long way from home. She was bemoaning that she didn't have enough money to go home before school started, plane tickets in those days were quite expensive. Fueled by several beers, I said I would drive her home and back, we would split the expenses. She was ecstatic, she could afford that with her dad's help, and I'd never seen So Cal.
It was almost a 3000 mile trip each way, I thought we could make it in 3 days. We planned for a day, packed and left pre-dawn while it was cooler, my car had no AC. We made our 1000 miles on day one and found a cheap motel, we got out to check in, Lisa was next to me at the counter, the clerk asked if we wanted 2 singles or a double, before I could open my mouth, Lisa said "double". We had never had one romantic moment or kiss, yes, we had a great time chatting in the car, but I was surprised.
We put our bags in the room, went to dinner, when we came back Lisa took a shower and came out in just a towel, she stood in front of me, dropped her towel, said she was going to pay me back for my generosity, after my shower. So for the next 2 nights and the 3 days back, we enjoyed each others company.
