very limited.
“No wonder you’re so uptight.”
“Pardon me??”
He looked over to me as he slowed for yet another turn, “You need to get laid. Don’t worry, Im not picking on you. I could use a good fuck myself.”
My face went bright red, “We need to stop talking.”
He laughed, “I tried telling you that.”

A little while later he finally stopped at what might as well have been an outhouse in the middle of nowhere. When he started covering the truck with random branches I decided to try and help.
“How long before your brother gets here?” I asked hoping my tone wasn’t going to set him off again. He’s quite scary when he’s mad.
“Maybe an hour or so.” He shrugged.
“Where did you get this truck?”
“I stole it.”
“Then you should give it back.”
“I’ll send someone back for it later.”
This surprised me. “You will?”
“Sure. I try to borrow more than I steal, but sometimes shit doesn’t work out. This truck shouldn’t be a problem to return to it’s owner in a week or so.”
“I hope so. I know you’re just doing your job, but I’m not partial to thievery.”
“Neither am I. I am however partial to getting my job done and collecting a paycheck.” He informed me as he tossed a large branch over the hood of the truck. He’s obviously very strong, and moves with a confident grace. This is a man who is comfortable in his own skin. It made me wonder if I’m as confident. No, probably not.
“What do we do now?” I asked trying to hide the driver’s side mirror with smaller branches.
“We’re going to walk back to the main road a couple miles back, that way Turner won’t have to bring Daisy all the way up here.”
“Daisy? Is that his wife?”
“No, that’s his rig. Georgia is his old lady.”
“Old lady? I’ve heard this term before, but never really understood why you would refer to your significant other as ‘old lady’.”
“Yeah, seems my big dumb brother found himself a woman. First Joe, now Turner. Somebody must have tilted the world on it’s axis, because that’s some shit I never saw happening. Especially Turner. That man ain’t right. Any woman brave enough to put up with him is alright in my book, or just as crazy as he is.”
“What about you?” I asked as we started walking. “Do you ever think about having an old lady?”
“No. I am happily single.” He shifted his bags to one hand after hefting a large backpack over his shoulder.
“Oh, right, the whore.” I remembered his rude and disgusting comment about a certain sexual act in Arizona before the conversation got too personal for comfort.
“Actually, that was a rare moment. It had been a while and I was in more of a physical need than an emotional need. Don’t think poorly of all whores Barbie. Ginger is a professional, and takes her job very seriously. All the girls do.” Just because I don’t sleep with the paid ladies, doesn’t mean I don’t respect what they do.
“I just can’t imagine the diseases.”
“No diseases. Stacy is their Madam, she makes sure they use protection and get checked out by a doctor once a month, or whatever it is. I don’t exactly know the details, but I know Stacy runs a tight ship. They are very attractive and well kept ladies. The only reason I gave in to Ginger was because she’d been flirting with me for the last week. Everyone knows I don’t sleep with the ladies of the night, so I guess she saw it as a challenge. I guess we both won.” He explained rather easily.
“I’m not sure how to reply to that.”
“Then don’t. You asked, so I answered. I don’t have time to date Barbie. It’s been almost three years since my last serious relationship, that’s a long time for a man.” He hinted.
“I honestly wouldn’t know, but I suppose for a man that is a long time. I apologize for misjudging you.”
“I don’t care. Whatever you think of me doesn’t mean shit. When this is over you can go back to your big
