Leaving the sanctuary of the city centre, I boarded the underground at Stadtgarten and travelled the U41 line south to Hörde. Better prepared, I woul...d then have caught the 440 bus from the stance outside the station and, for a few Euros, it would have delivered me to Erlinbachstrabe, the stop just a 10-minute walk from my destination. But instead I hailed a taxi. The driver was unsure of the address but punched it into his GPS and we were soon on our way. Unfortunately, road works sent us. "Thanks! So do you!" Thanks," we laughed. Who knew why?"Hi, I'm Nick," he introduced himself."Hey, I'm Justin. Sorry to steal Laur away..." he slipped an arm around my waist, his hand resting on my hip at the exact place between where my shirt stopped and my skirt started. His touch made me shiver, in a good way.Nick' eyes darted to his hand and then back to his face."Would you hang on for just a second?" he asked, grabbing my wrist."Uh, sure, yeah. Laur, I'll be outside."I nodded, "Okay."He. 'Dont forget to wash down there Mariel', he would say, standing as close as he could, he seemed to enjoy being close to me, studying my reaction to his penis being inches from my face and his odors strong in my nose.It was not just me who was getting the adult treatment, my closest friends were getting eyefuls and being the recipient of daddies special love.One of my closest friends, back then, replaced her mother in the bedroom, when her mother passed away. She told me it seemed natural to.
