Charlene yawns and stretches as she gets out of bed. She turns the alarm off on her cell phone and stumbles into the bathroom. She does her morning business and steps into the shower to wash her body. She couldn’t believe how quiet it had gotten last night without Tonya at home. She was off camping with her friend Prue for the next two weeks.

As she showers, she enjoys the hot water as it cascaded down her body. She still couldn’t get over the fact that Tonya was going to be gone for two weeks camping. As she washes her body and runs her hands over her nipples, her groin area tightens up. It’s been so long since she has dated anyone.

She was never the dating type, because most boys at her high school were intimidated by how much she knew about cars or how smart she was. Ever since her father died, she has concentrated on running the garage and taking care of Tonya. She hasn’t given any thought to her needs. She fingers herself and before long she is left in a haze of orgasm as her legs give way and she slides to the floor of the shower.

She couldn’t believe how nice it felt when the orgasm traveled through her body. She spends a few minutes enjoying the afterglow of the orgasm she just had, before standing and rinsing off. She pats her body dry and wraps her hair.

She walks back into her bedroom and starts getting ready for work. Her body was still feeling the effects of the orgasm as she put her panties on. Normally she didn’t wear thong panties, but today she decided to wear them under a pair of faded jeans.

She slips on one of the many shop t-shirts she had made for the garage and put it on. She looks at her image in the mirror as she brushes out her shoulder-length hair. She never lets it grow past her shoulders, because sometimes, she enjoyed going out into the garage to work.

Charlene grabs her purse and truck keys and walks out to her father’s old pickup truck. She gets in and drives to work. On the way she stops and buys a cup of coffee and two dozen doughnuts She knew the guys will enjoy them.

When she arrives, she could already tell they were going to be busy with state inspections. There was a line forming outside of bay three. She notices the motorcycle shop was going to be busy as well. There was a rally coming up that Ralph and Tammy were sponsoring.

She thought about going on it but decided not to. Tammy had taught her how to operate a motorcycle, but she only liked to ride it on the weekend. She wasn’t a serious rider like Tammy, Ralph and his partner were.

She walks into the office and out into the garage with the doughnuts. She knew the guys were busy, so instead of putting them in the office, she leaves them there in the garage.

“Doughnuts, guys.” As she goes about making a fresh pot of coffee and straightening up the condiments.

“Thanks, boss.” Stephen smiles at Charlene as he ducks back under the hood of a car.

Charlene just shakes her head as she heads back into the office to order parts and does paperwork. She hears her cell phone ding and notices
she had received several texts with pictures. She looks at them and notices that they were from Tonya. She was showing pictures from where they were camping and swimming. She watched a short video that Prue made of Tonya swinging out into a river from a rope.

A smile appears on Charlene’s face. As she watches her little sister have fun.

“What are you watching?” Henry comes walking into the office with a cup of coffee.

“Prue and Tonya sent me pictures and videos of them having fun.” Charlene shows Henry the videos.

Henry watches the two girls having fun. He lets out a chuckle as he watches Tonya drops from a rope swing into the water.

“It looks like she is having fun.”

“I know. I’m kind of jealous.” Charlene normally took a few days a year off.

“Maybe next year you’ll take some time off.” Henry looks at Charlene to emphasize his words.

“Okay, I get the hint.” Charlene knew when Henry spoke, she should listen.

Several hours go by and Charlene has everything finished. She looks at the time and saw that it was near the time she took off for lunch. She grabs her purse and let Henry know she was leaving for lunch.

“Alright, take your time.” Henry waves at Charlene as she walks out of the office.

Charlene walks towards her truck and gets in. She starts the truck and put it in reverse and backs out of her parking spot. Once she is finished backing up, she puts it in drive and heads for downtown.

She didn’t know what she was in the mood for, but it didn’t matter. Downtown had a large selection of restaurants and food trucks. She finds a place to park and gets out of her truck. She didn’t know what she wanted, but she knew she was in the mood for something.

She starts walking down the street and looking at the different shops and such. She spots a little food cart selling hotdogs and sausages. She walks over to the cart and notices it was operated by a guy a little older than her.

Tom was watching the traffic on the sidewalk. He knew for the next few hours things were going to be slow. As he is watching the traffic, he spots a young woman walking toward him. He hasn’t seen her before, but she was wearing a t-shirt that had the Grease Monkey logo on it. She was too pretty to be a mechanic. He watches as she walks up to his cart.

Charlene notices the young man watching her as she walked up to him. A smile appears on her face as she stops before the cart.

“So, what specials do you have going?” Charlene watches the young man.

“Two hotdogs and a soda for two dollars or two sausages and soda for four dollars. A bag of chips is a dollar extra.”

“What type of hotdogs do you have?” Charlene was looking at the dogs on the rollers.

“All beef hotdogs. We have beef hotdogs with cheese in them.” Tom watches the young lady.

“I’ll have two dogs fully loaded and a bag of chips.” Charlene liked hotdogs.

“What soda would you like?” Tom had both brands of sodas.

“A Pepsi will be fine.” Charlene liked Pepsi over Coke Cola.

Charlene watches as Tom makes her dogs. She liked her hotdogs with everything. She was amazed at how well he made the hotdogs.

Tom makes the hotdogs for the young lady and is careful about how he applied the condiments. He could tell she was watching him. He didn’t mind her watching him as he worked.

“Here you go.” Tom hands the two hotdogs to Charlene.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. Go ahead and choose what chips you want.” Tom reaches down into the cooler and pulls out a cold can of Pepsi.

Charlene chooses what bag of chips she wants for the rack hanging on the wind barrier. She chooses a bag of Lay's plain chips.

“Here’s your soda, ma’am.”

“Thank you. And here is a five-dollar bill.” Charlene hands a five-dollar bill to Tom.

“And here is your change.” Tom hands three dollars back.

Charlene only takes one dollar from him “Keep those for yourself.”

“Thank you.” Tom puts the two dollar bills in a jar.

“You’re welcome.” She walks away and sits down on a nearby bench and enjoys her lunch.

As she is eating, she notices how busy Tom gets. She didn’t think just selling hotdogs and sausages would be popular, but it was. She notices that Tom jokes with a few customers as he serves them.

After Charlene finish eating her hotdogs. She walks around some more and when her lunchtime is about up, she heads back to work. When she arrives at work, she gets to work organizing work orders and doing credit card charges.

During the week, Charlene takes her lunch at the hotdog vendor she met. She gets to know him and how he handles his customers. When she appears on Friday, she notices a smile on Tom’s face.

“Back for some more hot dogs?” Tom noticed that Charlene has been showing up all week for lunch.

“I was wondering what you are doing tonight?” Charlene figures she would make the first move.

Tom was a little surprised by the question. He has never had a woman ask him out before.

“Nothing except cleaning my grill. Why? What do you have in mind?”

“Well, I was wondering if you would like to join me for dinner?” Charlene was nervous about asking Tom out.

“Sure, where and when?”

“How about La Quins at seven o’clock tonight?” Charlene watches Tom’s face.

“Sounds good. I’ll meet you there.” Tom knew the chef at La Quins. He’s never eaten there, but he knew the head chef.

"I'll see you there." Charlene turns and walks away.
