On the Road Again
Chapter 6
Sweet Treat
Abe's mother had started the doughnut shop a couple of decades ago and it had supported the family, sent the kids to school and done well by the Garfola family for all those years. The whole family worked there, year after following year. Abe and his sister worked the front counters. They greeted most of their customers by name. Ellensburg was a small town and a lot of his customers had gone to school with him.
He stared out the front window watching the traffic come in off the Interstate. All these people, going somewhere, doing things that Abe could not even imagine. They had lives and Abe was jealous. He could feel the years winding down and he was standing still, behind this counter counting away the hours of his life.
He glanced up at the clock, getting on one o'clock. The kids would be coming in after school soon, the older people picking up little clandestine snacks to round out their lunches. He smiled. Sometimes he felt like the shop was everyone's little secret, loved but denied.
He was watching for one particular person, Roger from the car dealership across the road. He saw Roger crossing the road and for just a moment the two men looked at each other, and then turned away. They had been doing this for years. Hungry for a look but both denied it; their secret lives, hidden away.
A black classic car pulled into the parking lot. Abe thought it was very possibly older than him but it looked loved, cherished; someone's perfect friend. Two guys got out and came to the door, joining in the line of customers that had been slowly assembling. He and Tara started pulling orders; hustling through this, their afternoon rush. Only the early mornings were busier
Abe noticed Roger joining the back of the line but his eyes were drawn to the two guys from the black car right in front of his friend. They were a couple, he realized with a jolt to his chest. They were smiling and laughing and touching each other, comfortable in their skins, completely oblivious to the occasion looks from the other customers.
When they got to the front of the line, Abe asked what they wanted. They were both big guys but one was extremely tall and the other was extremely pretty. "What'd you want, bitch, the cream filled ones?" the pretty one asked with a heavy emphasis on the word cream.
The tall one snorted and replied, "You know, jerk, if you got the plain glazed with the hole in the center you could line them up on my dick and eat them off."
Abe froze, unsure of exactly what he had heard but he raised his eyes and saw Roger laughing. The ice broke loose in Abe's chest and he smiled back at Roger.
"What'll it be, gentleman?"
"Six cream filled and six plain glazed," was the reply.
He bagged their doughnuts then turned to take care of Roger next as they left.
"The usual, Roger?"
Roger showed all his teeth in a great grin. "No, Abe, give me a dozen plain glazed and then come and help me eat them"
