My Lowest Moment

As a graduate student I worked weekend nights as a night clerk at a Ramada Inn. A waitress worked there and I placed my free dinner order with her and she brought my dinner to the front desk. We flirted, she was a high school drop out and a teen mother. Her smile showed her crooked teeth, her dirty nails, shoes, sweater all told of her trailer park upbringing. I put the move on her, and after I decided to quit that job right before graduation I took her out and fucked her in the back seat of my car.

I never looked her up again, she just capped off that job.

For 40 years I've regretted leading her on. She was a nice, uneducated but nice girl.
