Hym (Part 1) It made me post it in 2 parts

[msW8ing]

Driving down a long dark stretch of desolate highway, not knowing where I’m going, not really caring. That last fight echoing in my mind. The words that cut to your soul. The pain of the last slap hy will ever lay hys hands on me again. Yet another failed relationship. How in the hell did I end up here? I’m a strong, educated, self sufficient woman. How did I let hym strip all that away? Again alone and unsure. Taking the last of my savings and my clothes. I wasn’t about to take another second of hys shit. Thinking back on my life and my failures. I don’t know what fate has in store for me but I’m ready for a change. I’m ready for something good to finally happen to me. Looking ahead of the road, great a 6% grade, this old piece of shit I’m driving just doesn’t like these grades. Crossing my fingers, patting the dashboard come on girl we can do this. Watching her dash lights, she begins overheating, come on baby your half way there. A bad noise started coming from the engine, a loud tapping my lights started dimming losing power. I had to pull over to the shoulder of the road. Putting my hazards on. I thought to myself, “Fucking great, what else can happen”. Beginning to cry, I put my head on the steering wheel. Tears streaming down my face, I heard a loud engine noise, looking up into my rearview mirror I could see extremely bright lights, so bright it hurt my eyes to look. Then I noticed it was a semi, the driver walking up to my window, I looked up into this strangers clear blue eyes for what seemed like an eternity, hys hair was gray with whispers of brown, natural curls poking out of the sides of hys cap. So handsome and strong featured. Hy spoke very calmly with a gravelly voice, “ you look like you’re in some deep shit lady, would you like some help”, hy winked at me and smiled. I could feel my heart about to pound out of my chest, trying to hide my tears, I smiled and got out of my car, standing face to face with hym, I could feel the electricity between us, and I hoped hy was feeling it too. Hy raised hys calloused covered hand slowly to my face, gently wiping away the last tear from my cheek. I could see hy was looking at my swollen lip and black eye. Looking into hys eyes, I was mesmerized; “Eyes that amazing and soulful shouldn’t have tears in em.” I couldn’t look away, for those moments I was frozen. Hy broke our gaze, “well this piece of shit you’re driving isn’t going anywhere tonight, you might as well hop in my truck and I’ll take you over the mountain into the next town, you can figure it out in the morning”. I just smiled and nodded. I felt like an idiot. Hy just chuckled. As hy was carrying my luggage back to hys truck, I watched hym walk; hy had that strut of confidence that always makes my knees weak. Climbing into hys truck, I looked over at hym sitting in the driver’s seat, hy just had this cocky air about hym, not obnoxious or pretentious like the others, just confident, sure and bold. A true old school Dyke. The type every femme dreams and fantasizes about. The first few miles were very quiet, not uncomfortably quiet just serene, I instantly felt safe and secure by hys side, like it’s where I’ve belonged all my life. Like nothing or no one could hurt me ever again. “Oh god, you stupid woman, stop thinking like this, your romanticizing a nice stranger helping you out”. I have to find out about hym. Clearing my throat, I looked over at hym and mustered a nervous smile; hy looked at me out of the corner of hys eye and gave this half grin that just about took my breath away, “You got something to say”? Hy asked. “Well, ummm I was just wondering how long you’ve been driving these big trucks”? Then I just sunk back, knowing I must have sounded really dumb to hym. Hy half chuckled, “Well let me think, hmmm about 20 years or so”. Looking around hys truck trying to get a sense of who hy was, I noticed hy had nothing really personal in plain sight. “Ok”, I thought, “I don’t know how much longer I have on this ride with hym, but I’ve got to know more about hym”. Once again clearing my throat, mustering up the courage to speak, “So, are you on the road a lot, I mean away from home? Do you have a family at home? Is it hard to be away”? Hy chuckled again, eagerly sitting on the edge of my seat praying to goddess that hy said the answers I wanted to hear. “I’m on the road as much as I want to be, I have no family to speak of”. I sighed with relief they were the answers I wanted to hear. I could feel the excitement building inside of me. “What about you”? Hy asked staring out of the big windshield. “Me? Well umm it’s a long story”. I answered as cooly as I could, looking out of my passenger window. Looking directly at me hy spoke with authority in hys voice, “Why are you stranded on this desolate road this time of night, what brought you to this point”? I couldn’t resist staring into hys eyes, hy looked back to the road, I watched hym for a moment, hys strong arms holding onto that huge steering wheel, and what big arms they were, I could tell by looking at hym, hy was no stranger to hard work. Hys calloused hands told me so much, faded jeans, t-shirt and leather boots. Hy indeed was a rare breed. Startled back to reality by a more authorative, stern voice. “What’s your name? Can you tell me that much”? I blushed thinking hy must really think I’m rude not answering hys last question. “Oh, I’m so sorry to be rude, I’m Lara, very nice to meet you, and I really can’t thank you enough for stopping and helping me”. Hy just smiled, “People call me Sam, good to meet you, no thanks necessary, I couldn’t leave you on the stretch of road, wolves could have got to you, and I don’t mean the four legged ones either”. Hy was serious; I could hear the protective tone in hys voice. “Well, again thank you, you’re my knight in shining semi”, I giggled nervously like a little schoolgirl. Oh that was smooth Lara, NOT, I thought to myself. Hy looked over at me with more a stern look on hys face, one brow raised. “I’m not one to ask the same question twice, Lara, what’s your story? No matter the length we’ve got nothing but time and dead air out here”. Sheepishly I looked over hym, fidgeting with my fingers, I imagine I looked like a scolded child, as that’s how I felt. Hy reached over and gently patted my leg,” It’s all right, you’re safe here. Nothing can get you now”. Hys touch sent jolts throughout my entire body; I had to concentrate just to breathe. “Take a deep breath and just start at the beginning”. Sam said as hy pulled hys hand from my leg to shift gears. Sighing, and taking in a deep breath, I began my story. “Well, to make a long story short, I will never again get myself into an abusive relationship”. Hy glanced at me, smiled kindly and spoke so softly in hys gravely voice, “Nuff said”. Looking ahead I saw lights of a small town, “Is that the town you were talking about”? “Yeah, but looks like everything is closed up, there’s a motel there I sometimes stay there, it’s clean and safe”. I just nodded. Staring out the passenger window, my mind wandering to hym. Hy was everything I’d wished for in a mate. Never lucky enough to get a mate like hym. Guess it just wasn’t in the stars for me. The loud rumbling of the jake breaks bellowed, startling me back to reality. I jumped a bit. Hy just chuckled. The sight of hym laughing made my heart swell. Pulling along the back of the motel and parking hys big truck. “You go get yourself a room; I’ll unload your luggage”. Standing there looking like a lost pup I’m sure. Hy spoke more authorative. “You’ll be fine, it’s safe here, now go, do as I said”. I just smiled and did as I was told. Coming back around with key in hand. Hym half standing, half leaning on hys truck, giving me that half grin that turned my insides to a quivering mess. “You get all checked in”? Smiling from ear to ear and beaming I held up the room key like an idiot. Again hy chuckled at me, shaking hys head. Reaching for the key, “You’d better give me that before you lose it, let’s get you to your room and settled in”. Like an obedient little puppy I followed behind hym looking at how hys muscular arms bulged and flexed as hy carried my bags. Feeling so safe, so protected in hys presence. I was secretly hoping Sam would stay with me. But, I didn’t dare ask. I couldn’t. That was not lady like. Watching as hy unlocked the door, stepping into the room and turning on the lights, hy checked out the room. Smiling at me, staring into my eyes, “See, all safe, no monsters anywhere”. Hy chuckled. “You didn’t check under the bed”. I said in a quiet, soft voice. “Ohhh your right”. Hy knelt over and lifted the bedspread and looked under the bed. Looking up at me hy laughed, “Nothing under here either, your safe doll”. Taking in a deep breath and smiling at hym I began laughing too. Sam stood up, walked up to me. Now standing face to face with me. My mind whirling with all kinds of thoughts. I just wanted hym to kiss me so much. My body ached for hys touch. Sam put hys hand on my shoulder, “You’ll be safe here tonight, in the morning call the garage and have them tow in that piece of shit they may be able to fix it”. I looked at my feet and quietly whispered, “Yes Syr, I sure will Sam, I can’t thank you enough for your help. I don’t know what would have happened to me if you hadn’t come along”. Touching hys fingertips to my black eye hy spoke with almost a deep growl, “Anyone who would ever lay hands on a beautiful lady needs to be strung up and horsewhipped”, softly running hys hands through my hair,leaning in hy gently kissed my eye, and then even more softly hy kissed my split lip. Looking into my eyes, “You be safe now, don’t ever let anyone lay hands on you again, you’re better than that”. Again I just nodded like an idiot. Fighting for my breath. Trembling and shaking at hys touch. Feeling hys mouth on mine even if just for that second. My skin burned with the memory of hys lips. As Sam turned to walk out the door, my mind was racing; I just wanted hym to stay with me. I was so scared and felt so alone, I opened my mouth and muttered something I wasn’t even sure it was words. Sam turned and looked at me, gently with this big, strong, calloused hands holding my chin, Hy looked into my eyes, “What, you afraid to stay here alone?” I felt tears running down my face, softly I whispered, “Yes, Sam would you please stay with me tonight?” Sam smiled and nodded hys head. I just collapsed into hys strong arms. Hy stood there and held me as I trembled and sobbed like a child for what seemed like forever. Putting hys arms down at my sides, “Now Lara, I’ll stay with you. Go get ready for bed.” Being the obedient puppy once again, I grabbed my overnight bag and went to shower and put my nighty on
