"THE BUS BOY"
|
|
|
|
|
|
I was not looking forward to the bus ride. It had all the markings of
|
|
being just like the last one, bad. Eight hours of being cramped into a
|
|
bouncing bus filled with poorer Mexicans, those who could not afford the
|
|
"Plus" service. I had difficulty adjusting to so many poor at first. I was
|
|
still uncomfortable, certainly sad, but I had adjusted to not being able
|
|
to save the world. Almost half the population of Mexico is mired in
|
|
poverty, 41.3 million of a population of 85 million. 17.3 million of those
|
|
fall into "extreme poverty," receiving less than $2.70 a day. My traveling
|
|
companions rarely looked past tomorrow and never a gift horse in the
|
|
mouth.
|
|
|
|
The class didn't bother me, but the noise of children's mayhem did. All
|
|
this because I had waited until the last minute to get my ticket and the
|
|
"Plus" service was all sold out. The "Plus" service is a big Mercedes with
|
|
comfortable, reclining seats. Movies are shown and soft drinks are gratis.
|
|
The toilet, not even available in some of the lesser rides, is larger and
|
|
nicer, not to mention the smell. All in all, not unlike an airplane flight
|
|
(tourist class.) Well, that may be taking it a bit far, but it really
|
|
isn't bad and worth an additional fifty percent fare. With the "Plus" bus
|
|
sold out I had to take the "Express" which isn't express at all.
|
|
Fortunately they no longer tied the chicken coops on top. I was less than
|
|
enthusiastic. It seemed a hell of a way to start a vacation.
|
|
|
|
I stood outside the bus finishing a Benson and Hedges, delaying the ordeal
|
|
as long as possible. The smell of diesel hung in the air and was even
|
|
visible in small clouds of black puffs when buses started or impatient
|
|
drivers revved their engines. Even the Benson was a mark of some
|
|
extravagance as the locals smoked Commanders or some less costly
|
|
cigarette. Of course, to an American, none of the cigarettes were
|
|
expensive, even the dollar a pack Benson, but Mexico is a poor country.
|
|
Actually it is not so much a poor country as one filled with poor people.
|
|
There is an upper class that does damn well. Let me hasten to strike the
|
|
image I may be developing of myself as an extravagant. I allow some luxury
|
|
of course but the extravagant would have cut the crap and flown. I allow
|
|
some excesses but think I keep everything in perspective, that is some
|
|
things. If you aren't the lead dog on the sled the scenery never changes,
|
|
now that's perspective.
|
|
|
|
People continued to get on and off the bus. There was fat ones and skinny
|
|
ones, but considerable more skinny ones. There were short ones and shorter
|
|
ones. At slightly over six feet I seldom encounter a tall Mexican. I
|
|
watched them mill on and of, dragging their kids, until the driver
|
|
appeared in his white shirt and I figured we were about ready. I should
|
|
know better. About ready in Mexico doesn't mean much. Giving him my
|
|
ticket, I stepped on the bus, wondering who I would have to move out of my
|
|
assigned seat, that someone would be in it was a given.
|
|
|
|
As expected, it was occupied. There were two young boys, one asleep on the
|
|
arm of the chair, the other laying against his brother. They were
|
|
obviously tired little puppies, having arrived with the bus and continuing
|
|
on to God knows where. I felt a twinge of compassion and looked around to
|
|
see if any other seat was available so they could continue together. There
|
|
were none and my compassion wasn't such that I was going to stand for the
|
|
next eight hours. The boys belonged to the lady in front of my seat. She
|
|
also had a little girl asleep beside her. The lady didn't stir but I
|
|
doubted she was asleep, more like hoping I wouldn't bother her. After I
|
|
nosily cleared my throat, he woman acknowledged me standing by the seat
|
|
and asked if I wanted the boys to move. I said, "yes, I do want to use my
|
|
seat." For a moment there was a pleading look, then she shuffled the
|
|
little girl around and, after waking the smaller boy, managed to get him
|
|
in between her and the little girl. I hated to see them jammed up that way
|
|
but she obviously had not paid for four seats and I was not going to ride
|
|
the next eight hours with three people in two seats built for midgets,
|
|
although I admit I considered the idea briefly. They appeared to be good
|
|
looking boys, so far as the dimly lit bus would allow, and either well
|
|
mannered or just worn out, more likely the latter. We finally finished the
|
|
round of Mexican musical chairs and I settled into the isle seat. The
|
|
driver walked down the isle satisfying himself he had everyone or at least
|
|
all he wanted and we were underway. Underway is like about ready. He got
|
|
off the bus and I went back outside for another Benson. When we entered
|
|
the second time he did indeed start the bus, backing out in our personal
|
|
fog of diesel smoke.
|
|
|
|
It took us about thirty minutes to leave the city. This was not so much a
|
|
function of distance or traffic, as it was horrible streets. At this time
|
|
of the night traffic was light but the streets had pot holes that could
|
|
compete with the Grand Canyon. As the driver picked his way through the
|
|
craters, I studied the boy beside me. He was settled in and looking out
|
|
the window. The passing street lights and neon lit shops illuminated a
|
|
smooth faced boy of delicate features with typical black hair. In the
|
|
strobe of passing lights I could only tell his eyes were dark. Most
|
|
Mexican's eyes are black and readily sparkle with emotion. He was slender
|
|
but not skinny in the way of street children. The opening and closing of
|
|
his eyes was more from the exhausting ride he had from Mexico city than
|
|
from actual sleep. Indeed, he was typical in all respects, as I would
|
|
later discover.
|
|
|
|
The bus was still warm inside but the air from the open window was cool
|
|
and blew directly on the lad. He drew himself into a little knot against
|
|
the cool air. Being from a cooler climate I was still quite warm and had
|
|
taken off my wind breaker. I would get warmer. I asked him if he was cold
|
|
and offered my jacket. He said, "yes" but rather than accept my offer he
|
|
reached in the overhead rack and found a light jacket in a travel bag.
|
|
This time he did not draw up his knees but settled back into his seat,
|
|
pulling the jacket around his shoulders.
|
|
|
|
I was becoming more aroused, that is not sleepy, and really didn't want
|
|
the enchanting night crawler next to me drifting off either. Realizing he
|
|
was not likely to start a conversation I got the ball started by asking
|
|
his name. He replied, "Marcos," returning my smile. I figured he was
|
|
intimidated by my size and my being an American so I ruffled his hair and
|
|
told him Marcos was the name of a good friend of mine in the states. He
|
|
asked my name and I told him my name in Spanish was Jose which wasn't a
|
|
direct translation but close enough. We talked for a while about school
|
|
and what grade he was passing too. He moved his head "yes" when I asked if
|
|
his grades were all nines and tens, the equivalent of our A's and B's. I
|
|
had the feeling he was fudging just a little on that one. As we talked I
|
|
sensed he was comfortable with me and patted his leg, telling him I was
|
|
going to take a nap. My hand remained on his small firm thigh. The
|
|
initiated will understand of course. The incoming telemetry data was
|
|
indeed rich. Marcos said he would nap too. I reclined the seat and he did
|
|
like wise, then put his head against my shoulder, delighting me he was
|
|
this bold with his American friend. I squeezed his thigh again, testing
|
|
for the muscle tension that would indicate any discomfort with the hand
|
|
that now caressed his inner thigh. He seemed quite content and if
|
|
anything, seemed to further relax. I patted his leg again but did not move
|
|
my hand. He responded by rearranging his jacket to better cover my hand
|
|
before moving his leg slightly in my direction, which had the effect of
|
|
sliding my hand toward his crotch. My little computer circuits were fairly
|
|
glowing with the increasing probability mutual eagerness. The probability
|
|
coefficient was "hot" but not quite 100%. Cautioning myself against haste
|
|
I relaxed. There was still a lot of trip ahead of us. I would wait for the
|
|
100%
|
|
|
|
We rode in silence for the next half hour, his head on my shoulder, my
|
|
hand more or less on his lap. That is we didn't talk but that is not to
|
|
say we didn't communicate. Mexican highways are notoriously rough and we
|
|
were constantly being jostled against each other. His leg was relaxed and
|
|
pressing against mine, the bouncing motion of the bus shifting my hand
|
|
across his lap. Like a Ouija board, it's seemingly random movements were
|
|
in fact quite purposeful. My fingers slid across his lap, finally resting
|
|
atop the fly of his jeans. I pressed slightly, making little circles with
|
|
my fingertips, until I had laid out the perimeter of the ridge hardening
|
|
inside his jeans. He stirred in the darkness, rearranging his jacket,
|
|
again covering my hand. His small hand fell between us and pressed against
|
|
my thigh, matching the pressure of my hand on his firmness. I took his
|
|
small hand, feeling each of his long, thin, fingers. I cupped it easily in
|
|
mine, rubbing his palm with my fingertips. When I wrapped his fingers
|
|
around one of mine, there was a gentle squeeze. It was very subtle but
|
|
enough to quicken my already shallow breathing. Needless to say my pulse
|
|
was up a little.
|
|
|
|
We were exploring, probing, looking for boundaries of comfort, limits of
|
|
permission. A universal ritual, ageless, changing form but never content.
|
|
I wanted inside his pants and he knew it. He too was anxious for the
|
|
encounter and in his unsophisticated and juvenile was trying to tell me.
|
|
The power of my emotion raced along trembling nerves, synapse crackled, as
|
|
I forced myself to deeper breathing and restraint. A surge of swelling in
|
|
my crotch announced the almost pre orgasmic passage from exploration to
|
|
confirmation. He knew I wanted to fondle him and was doing everything but
|
|
pulling down his pants to help. He wanted the two meter American's anxious
|
|
hand around his prepubescent stalk, the titillation of my fingers
|
|
caressing his marble sized balls, and inquiring probes into the warmth of
|
|
his crack. I swallowed to wet my throat which was dry from my breathing
|
|
through my mouth. I reminded myself I was on a diplomatic journey. Who am
|
|
I to impede cultural exchange.
|
|
|
|
With a probability coefficient of 100% I moved with more boldness.
|
|
Bringing my hand to a point where his legs joined, I pressed below the
|
|
double layer of his fly and could feel the small but swollen ridge just
|
|
before it became a sprig of throbbing meat. Alas, the increasingly elusive
|
|
juvi-prick defied definition. Considering the probably size of the object
|
|
under discussion it was like trying to retrieve a dime while wearing
|
|
Arctic gloves. Still, I was undaunted (more like frantic) in my efforts. I
|
|
explored the area completely, searching for a crevice, any opening that
|
|
would let me rub his nubbin directly. There was none. It was buttoned up,
|
|
well hidden beneath the thick double ply fly of his jeans. I was not
|
|
willing, yet, to literally assault his fly and spring the trapped trouser
|
|
mouse. I wanted the assurance of Marcos over participation but it was time
|
|
to move along, so I inserted my little finger between the lower two
|
|
buttons of his fly. It was a tight fit and I had to wiggle my finger back
|
|
and forth until I could get it inside his pants. I was rewarded with a
|
|
turgid little root, separated by the thin cotton fabric of his underwear.
|
|
|
|
Having but one finger inside his trousers I could only rub his distended
|
|
appendage on first one side then the other. I could rub most of it's
|
|
length and feel the slight bulge of the glands, even the end skin of his
|
|
uncut scepter. Restricted by his underwear, I could not tell how big it
|
|
was but it felt about the same diameter as the finger that was exploring
|
|
it, maybe slightly longer.
|
|
|
|
The bus had entered Tepic, a fairly large city, and both oncoming traffic
|
|
and occasional street lights served to illuminated Marcos' face. He
|
|
pretended sleep but I knew he was very much alert. As expected, he
|
|
relegated the pace and progress of our game to the adult. I did not
|
|
realize the pace wasn't fast enough to suit him. My arm and hand were
|
|
covered by our jackets but the now steady city lights were illuminating
|
|
the bus, arousing the passengers. His mother, in the seat in front of him
|
|
stirred, in turn arousing his brother and sister. When I returned my gaze
|
|
to Marcos he was indeed awake and watching me. The eyes of a ten year old,
|
|
trusting, friendly, questioning his new friend if everything was OK. Had
|
|
he done good? Was his new amigo, Jose, pleased with what he had found? I
|
|
smiled and winked... you betchem Red Rider. The interior lights flashed
|
|
off the white teeth of his smile, our eyes still held.
|
|
|
|
Withdrawing my finger from between the buttons of his fly, I squeezed his
|
|
leg reassuringly and told him I was going for coffee, did he want
|
|
something? He replied, "no." As I passed her mother I asked if she wanted
|
|
something to drink. She too replied, "no", obviously to exhausted from
|
|
wrestling with the kids for the past ten hours, counting the time from
|
|
Mexico city.
|
|
|
|
The bus had pulled into the depot for a ten minute stop. It had stopped
|
|
several times but normally we did not have time to get off. Considering
|
|
the likely state of the on-board toilet I didn't want to miss an
|
|
opportunity and headed for the "baso". Anyway, there would be time for a
|
|
quick cup of coffee and a Benson. I was met with cool night air as I
|
|
stepped onto the parking lot but I hardly noticed. My circulation was
|
|
peaking, raising my skin temperature. My goose bumps were not from the
|
|
chill of the night air. Taking a deep breath, I felt the RPM'S come down.
|
|
My mind however was anything but slowing down. I finished the Benson,
|
|
impatient for us to be underway and the inside lights off. I was aware of
|
|
the edge of excitement I was feeling. It was like a treasure hunt or maybe
|
|
hide and seek, but with special rules. I saw the driver leaving the shop
|
|
signaling time was up. Finished the last swallow of coffee, I tossed the
|
|
cup at the nearest container... close but no cigar. Oh well, Michael
|
|
Jordan did his thing, I did mine. I stepped up and into the bus... and a
|
|
pleasant surprise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I sat down beside Marcos. He was awake and turned toward me,
|
|
smiling like a Cheshire cat. I pulled my jacket over me and waited
|
|
for us to get underway, trying not to show undue attention to my
|
|
little passenger. Marcos was sitting straight in his chair though slid
|
|
forward, covered by his jacket. We observed each other from the
|
|
corner of our eyes. The bus backed out and the driver turned off the
|
|
inside lights, restoring the darkness but for the street lights. I
|
|
slipped my hand from under my jacket to under his, resting it as
|
|
before on his leg.
|
|
|
|
We left the compound and followed some clandestine route back to
|
|
the highway. The outside lights became intermittent as we exited the
|
|
city, the blanket of darkness returning secrecy to my exploring
|
|
hand.
|
|
|
|
Marcos moved his leg against mine and, understanding, I moved my
|
|
hand upward along his leg. Squeezing his small thigh reassuringly I
|
|
moved to the top of his fly to insert my finger inside. Damn! The
|
|
little Booger was way ahead of me. All the buttons open except the
|
|
top snap. An open invitation to exploring the privacy of his
|
|
underwear. I had just got the checkered flag. It was balls to the wall,
|
|
full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes, and all that stuff.
|
|
|
|
Even with the buttons undone, the opening was small. I spread his
|
|
fly open as far as possible and tried to extract his rigid member but
|
|
his pants were to high on his waist. Given the size of his cock, it
|
|
was impossible to retrieve more than it's head and even this was
|
|
impaired by his underwear which I could not get back into his pants.
|
|
I wanted it. He wanted it. It was time to cut the crap and get on with
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
Moving my hand to his belt, I tugged at it a couple of times, then
|
|
placed his hand on the buckle. When I returned my hand a few
|
|
seconds later I found he understood completely. Well almost, he had
|
|
undone his belt but the top button of his pants were still fastened.
|
|
Now in other situations this would not be a problem. I could undo it
|
|
with my teeth, or given my present state, bit the damn thing off. Not
|
|
so on the bus and my left hand wouldn't bend all the directions
|
|
needed to unfasten it. I tugged at the button a few times but gave up
|
|
and placed his hand where his buckle had been. When I felt again
|
|
his pants were open. I slid my hand down his stomach and inside
|
|
his underwear, feeling for the first time the full length of his rigid
|
|
penis. His pulsating penis was matched by the shivers going up my
|
|
spine. Was the pupice tipped rod of boy meat worth the quest? Does
|
|
a fat dog fart? I masturbated his rigid digit and knew it was not
|
|
enough.
|
|
|
|
As usual for Mexican boys he had not been circumcised which I
|
|
personally find delightful. Granted it does get a little cheesy
|
|
sometime but nothing soap and water can't cure. Slipping the
|
|
foreskin over the corona of his glands, I rubbed the olive size tip of
|
|
his dick then smelled my fingers. I was delighted to find the
|
|
contrasting sweet and pungent smell of his cock light to the nostrils,
|
|
stirring my salivary juices. My mouth watered. I slipped the sheath
|
|
of skin down over the head, continuing my fingers to the base. It
|
|
had the firmness of youth and the promise of bigger things to come.
|
|
Liking the musty aroma around the pupice I again withdrew my
|
|
fingers to savored the aphrodisiac of his glands. My hand went to
|
|
my crotch to rearrange my engorgin' organ before it exploded my
|
|
501's and wiped out half the bus with the shrapnel.
|
|
|
|
His jeans were pulled tight up into his crotch and with difficulty I
|
|
was able to place my fingers around two small balls. This just
|
|
wasn't working. I wanted the freedom to explore his crotch, to feel
|
|
his emerging balls loose in their juvi-sac, but his pants were just to
|
|
tight.
|
|
|
|
I glanced around the bus at the sleeping passengers. His mother's
|
|
head was turned away, leaning against the window. It was three
|
|
o'clock in the morning and those that were not asleep were trying
|
|
too. The only noise was the diesel motor of the bus and an
|
|
occasional passing vehicle. Traffic was light. Almost nothing travels
|
|
at night but busses and trucks. We were well cloaked by both our
|
|
jackets and darkness. FIDO (Fuck It, Drive On) My awareness
|
|
returned to the warm moist flesh I cupped in my hand. I wanted it
|
|
all.
|
|
|
|
Placing my hand under him, I lifted, then tugged downward on his
|
|
pants. Moving to the other side I repeated the motion, then waited
|
|
for him to respond. Marcos was a boy after my own heart.
|
|
Knowing I wanted to completely liberate his privates, he eagerly
|
|
responded by arching upward. I tugged at his pants but working
|
|
with only one hand I was not successful at getting them down. I put
|
|
his hands on each side and tugged again. He understood. I could
|
|
feel the backward pressure of his head and shoulders on the seat as
|
|
he lifted himself. When his activity had quieted I felt again. His
|
|
pants were past his buttocks to mid thigh. His private parts were
|
|
now covered only by his jacket as I placed my hand between his
|
|
legs. He spread his legs to the limit of his pants.
|
|
|
|
Now his liberated swollen cock stood above his hairless mound. I
|
|
moved my fingertips over it then to his balls. Pressing downward
|
|
on the crotch of his pants, I moved them down several more inches,
|
|
almost to his knees. He opened his legs and arched his hips
|
|
forward. He was eager to share his tender youth and I equally
|
|
anxious to pleasure him. I could feel his tiny cock poking against the
|
|
palm of my hand, like the main pole of a circus tent, better make that
|
|
a pup tent. It's youth only added to it's delicacy.
|
|
|
|
I brought my fingers together at it's base and stroked upward. It's
|
|
diameter was encompassed nicely by my thumb and three fingers.
|
|
The head slid through my fingertips as I massaged the pupice up and
|
|
down over the hard glands. Having to improvise as best I could, I
|
|
applied spittle to my fingers. His rigid shaft now moved smoothly
|
|
through my slick fingers. Contractions run it's length, swelling it's
|
|
stiffness, then relaxing before the next wave of rigidity. His pelvis
|
|
thrust forward, trying to push it's trembling member deeper into my
|
|
palm. I could feel him pushing against the seat with his shoulders
|
|
and although I could not see his face, I knew he was rigid with
|
|
effort. He was in the grips of orgasm for several seconds before I
|
|
felt the relaxation. He turned his body away from me and I assumed
|
|
he was satisfied, that he was pulling up his pants. I was wrong.
|
|
|
|
Pulling up his knees, he rolled so as to push his buttocks against
|
|
me. He lay still and at first I didn't understand what he wanted.
|
|
Slow me. Then I caught on and was more excited than ever. Rolling
|
|
to my side I not only hid him from view but also brought my right
|
|
hand into play. I felt over his smooth bottom. It relaxed and
|
|
inviting, knowing exactly what it wanted. The firm orbs were taunt
|
|
from his knee's being drawn upward. I rubbed each cheek in turn,
|
|
tantalizing the surface with my fingertips. He did not move. I
|
|
massaged his anal opening. It remained relaxed. He wanted me to
|
|
perform more magic. I considered scooting toward him but decided
|
|
that would be pressing circumstances a bit much. Even so my stones
|
|
ached to know him completely.
|
|
|
|
I continues rubbing his butt, it's smoothness sending a chill up my
|
|
spine. Occasionally I extended my finger between his legs, to his
|
|
ball sac, as I caressed the curved mounds. Sliding my finger up the
|
|
crack, he did not contract at it's pressure against his sphincter. It
|
|
was warm and moist, silky in it's hairlessness. In the darkness I
|
|
pictured the pinkness of his flower, between his spread cheeks, like
|
|
a sea urchin, beckoning to explore it's secrets. It's entrance was soft
|
|
and enticing but resistant to my finger. The ringed muscle did not
|
|
tighten against my pressure. Marcos was ready but too dry to
|
|
penetrate with my finger. He wanted me but the mouth of his anal
|
|
orifice was simply to dry.
|
|
|
|
Applying spittle to my fingers, I could smell his scent on my
|
|
fingertips, not strong, just the personal fragrance of a young boy. It
|
|
was the body odor of the private parts of a youth, a gamy yet
|
|
delicate odor that activated my juices. Returning my finger, I went
|
|
immediately to the offered opening. It yielded readily to my wet
|
|
probing finger. I penetrated him to the first knuckle of my ring
|
|
finger, then rhythmically massaged the orifice snuggling itself
|
|
against my finger. Wanting to offer only pleasure I slid in and out
|
|
but never past the second joint. He wiggled his tiny ass as though
|
|
trying to climb my finger, reveling in the penetration of my digit. At
|
|
one point he reached around and pulled his cheeks wider but I did
|
|
not want to cause him discomfort and would not penetrate him any
|
|
further. I wondered at his eagerness and the fact that not once had he
|
|
contracted his sphincter in protestation.
|
|
|
|
We continued for a few minutes more before he drew away.
|
|
Perhaps he was drying and my finger was loosing it's lubrication.
|
|
As he straightened I reached for his penis. It was still hard as I
|
|
stroked it appreciatively a few more times, then withdrew my hand.
|
|
I understood his satisfaction and accepted his readiness to quit our
|
|
play. I seriously doubt he knew the state he was leaving me in. I
|
|
could feel the movement in his seat as he pulled up his pants and
|
|
thought I heard the rattle of his belt buckle being fastened.
|
|
Straightening myself in my seat I patted his leg and gave him a smile
|
|
and wink to show how much he had pleased me. By now it was five
|
|
o'clock in the morning and I knew he was ready for some sleep. He

returned his head to my shoulder as I relaxed, or tried too. It did not
|
|
come easily, sleep that is. The other would have come damn easily.
|
|
|
|
I rearranged my stiffness to a more comfortable position and
|
|
fantasized another opportunity in a different setting. It would not
|
|
happen of course. If there was a chance then it was not fantasy but
|
|
planning. As I drifted into the lightest of sleep, I envisioned my
|
|
smooth friend and I in freer settings, liberated and autonomous to do
|
|
as we wished.

When we arrived at the bus terminal in Mazatlan it was seven thirty
|
|
and light. There was the noise of stretching passengers gathered
|
|
their things. There were kids complaining and folks pulling things
|
|
from the overhead rack. Marcos was awake and shyly returned my
|
|
smile. I blocked the isle for Marcos and the rest of his mother's
|
|
crew to off-load. They would re-board and continuing on, still four
|
|
hours away from their home. I bought them all cokes while waiting
|
|
for the innards of the bus was giving up my luggage. I wanted to get
|
|
an address and a picture but figured the address would serve no real
|
|
purpose. As for the picture, my camera was packed in my luggage.
|
|
Marcos smiled readily at me and at one point almost took my hand.
|
|
Not sure such a show of affection was appropriate for a presumed
|
|
stranger, I kept it back but allowed myself a wide smile. I miss the
|
|
little guy. I count our brief encounter as one of life's little asides,
|
|
those unexpected interludes that live forever in one's mind.
|
|
|
|
I gathered my luggage but did not remain to see them re-board.
|
|
There were still strong emotions lingering and I might do something
|
|
foolish, like stay on the bus and go to God knows where. Flagging
|
|
a taxi I rode silently to the hotel, speaking to the driver only to give
|
|
him my destination. I was still very much energized by our
|
|
exchange and anxious to get checked in. I wanted to get some sleep
|
|
before the evening came and I would go down to the verandah for
|
|
happy hour.
|
|
|
|
The ocean at Costa de Oro rolls in almost to one's feet. It's crashing
|
|
against the beach is perfectly capped off with the happy hour double
|
|
Tequila Sunrises, almost but not quite. What would make this
|
|
evening perfect would arrive later. I did not know what time but I
|
|
knew he would be there just as he had been every evening the
|
|
previous summer, selling his roses to the tourist. He would be
|
|
what, let's see, twelve this year. Rodriguez was half way across the
|
|
floor when he spotted me. He was a year older and taller than in his
|
|
picture. I was a year older and with longer hair but our recognition
|
|
was instant. He smiled and I knew we were both thinking the same
|
|
delightful thoughts. "Ven," I called, and he came to my table, and
|
|
presented me with a rose. Just as I imagined for a whole year, it was
|
|
still budding.
