The driver seemed quite the gentleman to Juan. She had told him a lie and said her name was Ruby it was easier than explaining how she had a magic medallion that had changed her from a middle aged Latino male to a blonde teenage girl. When the trucker hinted that he guessed she was a runaway she did not deny it.
He had paid for her meal and even offered to buy her a drink. Without thinking Juan had replied that she enjoyed Tequila. The trucker who had said his name was Oscar raised his eyebrows at this. "Well you're underage so we can't have you drinking in the restaurant, but I do have a bottle in my truck. Care for a glass?"
Naively Juan replied "Yes". She was more thinking how strange it was for such a feminine voice to come out of her mouth than the consequences of a teenage girl going off alone with someone she had just met.
As Oscar helped the girl up into the cabin of his truck, he enjoyed a good feel of her arse. The evening was looking very promising for him.
Once in the cabin Oscar extracted a bottle of tequila and a couple of cups. The girl accepted the full cup and began to drink it. He noticed she did not splutter as she had her first taste. Perhaps she was an experienced drinker? The girl didn't seem to want to tell much about her own life but Oscar kept the conversation happening and refilled the girls cup as he spoke about his trucking life. She seemed genuinely interested. Mind you Oscar was not truthful about his name, where he lived or where his current destination was. After the girl had finished the second cup Oscar asked "So I'm guessing you need somewhere to stay the night?"
"I can't go home. Not until morning. There are people looking for me" Juan replied.
"Well there's room in here. I have a mattress that folds out. You're welcome to a berth" He pointed to the back of the cabin. "I'll set it up for you" Without waiting for an answer he turned the back of the cabin into a bedroom. As he did so he said "I want a shower and have a few other things to do back at the roadhouse. You make yourself comfortable"
Juan Rosaro although on this earth for 40 years was very sexually naive. She didn't imagine that the trucker had any ulterior motives for inviting her to stay the night in his truck. To Juan it was a better alternative than sleeping on the street. When Oscar left she took off her jacket and shoes but kept on the school dress before crawling into the bed and pulling the thin blanket over herself. She was tired and alcohol affected and quickly fell asleep.
