DELIVERING MORE THAN JUST PIZZA.
Just my bloody luck, eh? Just as the fixed interest period of my mortgage repayments was due to cease and before I’d negotiated an extension, a series of financial ‘cock ups’ by the government resulted in the official interest rate shooting upwards at an alarming trajectory. Meaning that my mortgage payments, that had been at a completely comfortable level, followed them upwards until I was really struggling to afford them. Triggering some difficult decisions that I’d have to take.
Like did I get rid of my motorcycle, one I’d lusted over for quite a while, before taking the plunge and borrowing some money to acquire? With, the situation when I’d bought her being that I could easily afford the extra financial burden, but not now. However, an advert I clocked on-line rather solved that issue for me, but at some cost it appeared.
It was from a company owning a major chain of pizza delivery stores, asking for more delivery drivers, or to be more precise, riders. I noted the number of my local store and gave them a ring.
To be informed that they did require more delivery riders, especially on a Friday and Saturday evening. Meaning, that only would I be earning money during those evenings, I’d be saving it as well, I’d not be spending any down my local pub, as I did so normally. A ‘win-win’ situation, if one ignored the fact that I was giving up something that I really enjoyed.
Well, I applied and after a quick interview was accepted, just for those two shifts though. Not only were they the busiest period of my new employer’s week, but those shifts also didn’t interfere with my main method of earning a living. I reported for work, at the first time on a Friday evening, finding my way into in my new task with ease, proving to be quite an asset, even I say so myself.
However, things didn’t prove to be plain sailing. With all of my colleagues being younger, most of them were students, none of them had passed a driving test for motorcycles, as I had, holding a full driving licence for motorbikes, actually for cars as well. Meaning that the fleet of scooters owned by the chain and provided for our use all displayed the obligatory ‘L’ plates required by learner drivers or riders. However, as I warned by the police one day, as a full license holder, it was actually an offence for them to be displayed when I was riding. Therefore, there became one bike that could only be ridden by me, the one with no ‘L’ plates fitted. Meaning the company allowed me, against their normal policy, to take my bike home with me, when my shifts ended, especially when I pointed out that my home included a secure, dry garage in which I could park my ‘company vehicle.’
Together with the savings generated by my not going down the pub, my extra earnings meant that I could now afford to pay my new mortgage rate and afford to keep my M.V Agusta F3. And not drinking beer like I’d used to, had some other benefits too, as you can all imagine my overall health improved too, as my waist stopped threatening to expand, as it had done so previously.
I quite enjoyed my new job, and it wasn’t long before I stopped missing my visits to the pub, enjoying my better health too. So much so, that I decided even if the mortgage rate was to fall again, I might continue this extra means of earning money. Not that there was any sign of that occurring on the immediate horizon!
My new career, well part time anyway, had been existent for about six months, when THAT night happened. A Saturday evening, that had started and continued in just same manner as any ordinary one would have, if you see what I mean.
If fact I’d officially ‘knocked off’ and was about to depart homewards when her call came through, ordering a couple of pizzas for delivery. And as I am by nature a decent and helpful person, I offered to convey them to her. The fact that the address of this customer was fairly near to my own home, and completing this job wouldn’t take me far out of my way, greatly assisting in making my decision for me, contributing to my acceptance to help out here. After all, it’s never a bad idea to hold your employer somewhat owing you a favour, especially when it involved so little effort on my behalf. So, once her pizzas were cooked, off I set, to deliver our female customer the goods she’d ordered and offered to pay for, as per the best traditions.
Two things became immediately clear when I knocked upon her door, as she opened it to me. Firstly, she was a beautiful young lady, fairly tall and slim, lovely golden hair cascading either side of her flawless face. And the clothes that she wore, or rather the lack of them did nothing to diminish her natural beauty, far from it. For she was adorned in stylish, expensive and very sexy lingerie, a very skimpy satin bra and panty set, also made from dark blue satin, a lacy suspender belt held up some very sheer nylon stockings. Although she wore a dressing gown over this sexy apparel, it was almost see-through, concealing very little. The other matter?
Something, or somebody had clearly upset her, her luscious eyes were completely full of tears, in fact her whole demeanour was of a person who’d been betrayed badly. “Oh, it’s you, I’d forgotten I’d ordered them,†suggested that said dis-appointment had occurred AFTER her pizza order had been placed. As did her, “I’ll just go and fetch some money,†again pointing to the fact that she’d been subjected to some sort of trauma that had made her forget she’d even ordered the pizza. And then she made her offer.
“Was this your last delivery, I fully realise it’s getting late?†When I answered in the affirmative, she then responded by asking “do you need to return home straight away? For I can’t eat all of this, and the ratbag who was to have shared it with me, has run off. Would you mind sharing it with me, I could do with some company right now, and you seem like a really decent bloke?â€
I was quite hungry by now, it had been my plan to have knocked up some food when I’d reached home, and sharing my company’s product with a sexy lady, would alleviate me of having to prepare anything. Besides, she really did look like she needed somebody to talk to, to unburden herself upon. Add in the fact that she was SO damn sexy, dressed as she was, although she didn’t seem to be in any state for any such games, so I dismissed any such thought from my mind,
“Yes Ma’am,†well at this stage what else could I call her, I didn’t yet know her name, “I’ll gladly share that pizza, with you. I’m actually quite hungry right now.â€
“Oh, thank you. Please come in. And by the way, my name’s not Ma’am but Debbie.†Holding out her hand in greeting.
“Thank you, Debbie.†Taking and shaking her offered hand. “Rob. Well officially Robert, but only my mother calls me that now, and that’s only when she’s annoyed with me.â€
I followed Debbie into her luxurious kitchen placing the pizza boxes down on her large table and sat down on one of her chairs there. Waiting for her to open them, and we could start.
“The pizzas aren’t only thing that ratbag I me were supposed to share,†no by the manner in which you’re dressed I guess that you were intending a good shag, and therefore would have been sharing a bed, I, somewhat unkindly, thought, to myself, but no, I got that wrong it appeared as Debbie chinked two wine glasses together, and I followed her eyes towards a bottle of red wine standing upon her side.
“I can’t drink too much of that!†I exclaimed. “I have to ride home afterwards, and there are laws against using a motor vehicle when drunk. Laws that I agree with.â€
“Well, you can stay the night. I’ve a spare room.â€
To be totally honest, the idea did appeal. It looked a classy bottle, and it had been a while since I’d enjoyed a drink. And an evening with a woman, in this case the delightful Debbie, eating and drinking in her company did seem like a pleasant way to spend this night, believe me.
“Ok, I’ll gladly join you for a drink, as well as the pizza, Debbie. But could I put the bike away in your garage, please, out of the way of prying eyes? It isn’t mine after all.â€
“Sure, no problem. Thank you for giving me your time, I need someone to be with at the moment. Follow me.†Debbie led me out of the kitchen into the garage, that and the house were connected, opening the main garage door, and indicating just where she wanted me to park the scooter. Leaving me to get on with the job, as she herself went straight back into the house. Meaning she was out of my sight for a while. Something that, as I would discover later, was to prove very significant.
For as I re-entered her kitchen, Debbie handed me a large glass of that red wine, which she’d poured, as well as one for herself. We ‘chinked’ glasses together and then I swallowed a large mouthful, sitting myself at her kitchen table, and looking forward to helping her devour that pizza.
After another slug of the wine, it was now that I began to feel, well, a little ‘woozy’ Suddenly I began to feel totally fuzzy, and then I passed out, collapsing onto the floor. I’d just discovered that there was another ingredient within the glass of wine that Debbie had handed me!
