Good Samaritan 2
By Spitfire



Thursday I finally got up the nerve to go to the coffee house to take Meredith
up on her offer. As I drove up I noticed her Honda Accord car parked in front.
It still had the doughnut on it! As I walked in I noticed they were extremely
busy. I probably couldn't have come at a worse time. Even so I walked in
because I wanted to see Meredith again. I saw someone I thought was Meredith
at the bar. She was maybe about 6'3"-6'5". Funny, she looked a little taller
the other night! And a lot older too! I looked up at her and said, "Hi, I'm
Roe, you know, the guy that changed your tire the other night." The girl
turned, looked at me and said, "Oh, you must be looking for my sister!" I
looked at her nametag and it read "Holly", definitely not Meredith after all.
"Hold on here for a minute and I'll get her for you." She said. She went into
the backroom and returned with her sister behind her. Meredith flashed a big
gorgeous smile and said, "Well, well if it isn't my knight in shining armor!
What can I get for you sweetie?" I told her to give me what ever she thought
was good. She leaned over to me, winked and said, "It's all good in here
honey, but how about if I just surprise you." I nodded my head yes and smiled.
It took me a while to absorb everything and try to figure it all out. I
watched Meredith as she walked back and forth behind the bar, trying to figure
out just how tall she was. It was really hard to estimate her height the other
night because I had no points of reference. I mean no doorways, ceilings,
counters or whatever. Just her standing there with an umbrella, towering over
me! It was even hard to tell with her behind the bar because some places raise
the bar higher, some are even with the floor and others are lower. I didn't
want to be so obvious as to get up and look down over the bar at the floor.
Finally Holly walked around the bar and I noticed she was the same height as
she walked around the bar and onto the floor and she was wearing a walking
shoe with probably a 1- 1 1/2 heel. Then I compared them as they stood next to
each other making coffee and cashing out customers. The top of Holly's head
was about eye level to Meredith. Holly looked just like Meredith only younger.
They could have been twins! I estimated Meredith to be about 6'8" though.
Meredith handed me a huge cup of Coffee with whipped-cream on the top. It
amazed me that the cup didn't look quite as large in her hand! Now I'm not
much of a coffee drinker, but I tasted it and really liked it. I asked her
what it was and she said, "It's called Kauai pie, do you like it?" I told her
yes, it's really good. I sat there, sipped on the coffee and waited for her to
get a minute so we could talk. Finally her mad rush was over and she came out
from behind the bar and sat down by me. Her sister walked over to us too,
still behind the bar. My heart was racing a thousand beats a minute! Both of
these tall gorgeous girls standing there talking to me! I asked her if she had
gotten her tire fixed yet and she said, "No, I really haven't had time and
besides I don't like going to car places! They see a woman walk in and they
try to sell her everything under her car! And I don't have $300.00 for a new
tire this week. I laughed and asked her if she would like me to take her tire
to the garage to see if it could be repaired. She smiled and said, "You would
actually do that for me! What a little sweetie you are!" I shook my head yes
and said "Sure!" She told her sister to watch the shop for a few minutes and
she would be right back. I watched her as she walked from behind the bar and
looked down at her feet. She was wearing a pair of walking shoes too. I opened
the door for her and watched as she walked through. Her hair just barely
cleared the doorway and she was ducking slightly. I figured yeah, she had to
be 6'8"-6'9"! She walked to her car and opened the trunk. I reached in and
took out her tire. I put it in the back of my truck and went to the local
garage. It turned out she didn't need a new tire; just a plug and they charged
me 5 bucks. I brought it back, went in and asked for her car keys. I put her
tire back on her car, put her jack and spare away back in the trunk. I walked
back in, handed her the keys and told her I had to wash my hands. She pointed
me to the "little boys room". I came back out and she asked me how much she
owed me. I told her five bucks. She argued and said, "No, you're kidding me!
Here take this! as she handed me $25.00 from the cash register. I took the
$5.00 and handed her back the $20. She was insistent and told me to take the
money. I told her it was okay and I didn't mind helping her out. She looked at
me, smiled and said, "Gee, if you were about 8" taller I'd marry you right
now!" Holly spoke up and said, "I'll take him if you don't want him! I just
love a man in uniform and I kind of like shorter guys!" Meredith looked back
at her and said jokingly, "Shut up Holly, you're only 16! He's old enough to
be your dad, well maybe your older brother!" Then she smiled and looked back
at me. I told her I'd better get back to work and thanks for the coffee. She
smiled and said, "No problem! Come back anytime and it'll be on the house
again! It's really hard to find someone in this town that would help you out
and not expect the world in return from you!

Well I went back again for lunch on Friday and Meredith asked me if I knew
anybody that could help paint some walls for her. She said money was really
tight the last few months and she had moved into the apartment above the "Bean
Jour". Maybe she needed a less corny name for her shop?? Being the gullible
person totally enamored by tall women that I am; I told her I could help her.
I started to feel a little taken advantage of but I figured I didn't have
anything better to do this weekend! I went back to work then I drove home and
changed into some clothes I could paint in. At first I put on a pair of sweat
pants. Then I thought, no I'd better not. What if she did something to arouse
me (which really wouldn't be too hard for her)! I didn't want to embarrass
myself. I put on a pair of jeans and an old t-shirt.

I went over to the shop and got to work. Meredith and Holly had already moved
their furniture out of the living room. I was a bit surprised because some of
their stuff looked pretty heavy. I asked Meredith if she had a stepladder and
she asked, "What for?" I just looked at her as I reached my hand up in the air
not being able to touch the ceiling. She chuckled and said, "Oh, yeah, you
know I never thought of that! I guess Holly and I will paint up high and you
can do what you can reach."

It sounded pretty good until I'd discovered that neither one of them knew a
damn thing about painting! I asked her for a chair to stand on so I could do
the trim work while they both painted the ceiling. Holly just smirked as she
handed me their kitchen chair. I took my shirt off and put it over top so I
wouldn't drip paint on it. When I took my shirt off Holly said, "O-o-o-o, me
likes!" Meredith looked over at her and said, "Hold you hormones Holly! Holly
laughed as she looked over at me and saw me blushing. A few minutes later
Meredith and Holly both started to complain they were hot. Meredith went into
her bedroom and changed into a pair of cut off shorts and a half T. Then Holly
went in and changed into a pair of spandex shorts and a sports bra! The sweat
pants would have definitely been a bad idea! They were gorgeous and built, oh
my god! What I wouldn't do to have either one of them! Well maybe if I was a
lot younger for Holly! I was definitely too old for her! I really could be her
dad! After a while we got a system going. With Meredith painting the ceiling,
me doing the trim work, Holly painting below the trim to where I showed her I
could reach. I just couldn't help but stare at Meredith sometimes as we were
working. Finally Meredith caught me and said in a drill sergeant impression,
"Are you eye-balling me boy?" Then she just got the biggest kick out of my
expression. We finally got the living room done and we took a break. We sat in
the kitchen and Holly poured us all some iced tea. Meredith looked over at me,
grinned and said, "So Lancelot, what's your story?" I just looked back at her
not knowing what to say. So she said, "I mean how come you're not married, got
a girlfriend or something? I mean surely you've got better things to do on a
Friday night than help a couple of women paint their apartment! I told her my
story: Well I was married and lived in a nice house with my wife and my
daughter until 2 years ago when my wife died of breast cancer. Then because of
the way the Army works, you can't have a child, be a single parent and still
be in the Army. Well you kind of can, but if you're being deployed you'll have
no way to take care of your kids so my little girl is living with my mother
and father in-law. And I'm just waiting around to get sent somewhere. I email
her everyday and talk to her on the phone twice a week. I'd like to visit her
fro Christmas, but who knows what is going to go on. They both looked at me in
shock and said, "That's just awful!" Then they both got up, came over hugged
me and started crying. They told me that they knew kind of how I felt and that
they had lost both of their parents in a plane crash right after Meredith
graduated from high school. She said it was really hard for her to take care
of Holly since she was a year old but they always managed somehow. (Shit there
was 18 years difference between them!) Ever since the crash they were on their
own and Meredith had been taking care of Holly. She said Holly and her were
always very close because all they ever had was each other. Holly was almost
like her daughter since she raised her from an infant all by herself. Then
they burst out crying again. I told them I didn't mean to upset them and said
I was sorry. After a few minutes they stopped crying and Meredith said we
should get back to work.

Then we started to move the furniture back into the living room and went into
Meredith's bedroom. I went to push on her entertainment center and couldn't
budge it. Meredith came over and shoved on it and it moved slightly. Then we
both pushed it out into the living room together. She smiled down at me and as
if to comfort my male ego and whispered in my ear, "Leverage!" We finished
moving her furniture out, covered the floor and started painting. We had our
system down and got her room done in no time. They seemed to treat me
differently and didn't joke around as much as we moved onto paint Holly's
room. Finally about 1:30 a.m. we finished painting the apartment. It really
looked pretty good and Meredith told me she really appreciated the help. "I
really couldn't have done it without you!" She beamed. She tried to offer me
some money again and I refused. Then she asked me if I wanted something to
drink before I went home. Holly went out into kitchen opened the refrigerator
and yelled out, "The only thing we have to drink is some beer, How's that?" I
told them I couldn't because I had to quit drinking several years ago. Then
Meredith told Holly to go to the convenience store and buy a liter of Mountain
Dew. She then looked over at me and asked if I liked Mountain Dew. I told her
it would be fine. Holly asked me if she could drive my truck because she
didn't want to risk getting paint in Meredith's car. I pulled out my keys and
asked her if she could drive stick. She shook her head yes and I tossed them
to her. I put my shirt back on inside out to keep me from getting paint on
anything. Holly told me I looked better with it off and Meredith yelled at
her, "Will you just get the soda Holly Hormone!" Holly closed the door and
laughed as she walked down the steps.

I didn't want to risk getting paint on any of their furniture from my pants so
I went out into the kitchen and sat down on the floor with my back against the
cabinets. I cringed as I heard Holly driving away grinding the gears in my
truck! Meredith walked over and sat down beside me. "Oh, that's a long way
down!" She said as her gorgeous ass hit the floor. She put her arm over top of
me, around my shoulder and patted me on the arm. I looked up at her as she
blew her bangs out of her eyes. "You've done so many nice things for me! Are
you sure I don't owe you anything?" she said. I nodded my head no as I looked
down at all of the paint on me. As I looked at my pants I noticed how much
longer her legs were than mine as we sat there. She was so much taller than me
I felt like a little kid sitting next to her. The top of my head came up to
her nose and my feet came up to the middle of her shins! I could feel myself
getting harder. I couldn't help it. Even though she was a little sweaty from
painting, she smelled so good and she looked so gorgeous! She looked down and
noticed the bulge in my pants. My face turned red as I saw that she had
noticed. She smiled mischievously, reached down, unsnapped and unzipped my
pants! Then she reached her long hand into my boxers. When she did that it
took my breath away! She looked down into my eyes and said, "Alright then, let
me just do something nice for you!"

She started kissing me and sticking her tongue in my ear as she jerked me off.
I only lasted less than a minute and will spare you the other details. She
wiped her hand on my shirt and told me I should go into the bathroom and clean
up before Holly got back. I went in the bathroom and I came back out without
my shirt on. Meredith walked over to me and said, "Damn it's such a shame
you're not taller!" I said, "Why does that matter so much to you?" She put her
arm over my shoulder and walked me over to her dresser mirror. "Now look,
don't you think people would stare at us?" I mean, come on you barely come up
to my shoulders! I know you're attracted to me and obviously don't care about
our height difference, but I do. I don't like attracting attention to myself!
I get enough as it is! You don't know what it's like to go through life as the
tallest person you know! And being called everything from Amazon girl to Xena!
And then people asking me stupid questions all of the time! How's the weather
up there? blah, blah, blah! I hate short people! I'm sorry, most short people!
And believe me, you're not the first short guy that has tried to make it work
with me either! This one guy I was seeing was about 6'2" and he played around
on the Internet looking at sites with tall women on them all of the time.
Really, I just don't understand this fascination shorter guys have with tall
women! You'd think a real man would be intimidated by a woman who was
taller/stronger than him! I laughed at the thought that she actually thought
of a 6'2" guy as short! But I guess at her size he was kind of short. I could
only imagine how short she thought I was. I told her, why shouldn't men like
taller women? I mean height makes everyone look more attractive be it men or
women! Women like tall men, so what's wrong with men liking taller women? Who
knows maybe it's just the survival of the fittest thing kicking in! Short guys
like me may have it ingrained into them to find taller women to make the
bloodline bigger and stronger, who knows? And I'm not intimidated by you at
all! Why should I be? Should I think you're going to beat me up or something
just because you're taller or maybe even stronger? If I thought that way, hell
I'd be afraid of most of the people I know! No matter who you are there is
always somebody bigger and stronger. Meredith said, "Yeah unless you're me!" I
told her there are women even taller than her! Then said, "All I know Meredith
is that I would do anything for you. Anything that you'd ask, and I get a
strange indescribable feeling whenever I'm around you. The closest way to
explain it to you is to say it's the same thing you feel when you are in
love." She smiled, bent over and hugged me.

Just then Holly walked in with the Mountain Dew. She saw me standing there
with my shirt back off in her sister's room with Meredith's arms around me and
said, "O-o-o-o, what were you two getting ready to do?" Meredith's face turned
beet red as she told Holly to shut up. Holly laughed and poured the soda into
some glasses. We all sat up and talked until about 3:00 a.m. Finally I got up
and told them I had to go. They got up and walked down to my truck with me.
Meredith looked at Holly and said, "Shouldn't you be in bed little girl! You
know you have basketball practice at 8:00 tomo- I mean today.

Holly walked away with a grin on her face mumbling something about Meredith
having a boyfriend. Meredith told me to call her and maybe we could go out
sometime. I looked at her in shock! She said, "You know a girl gets lonely
sometimes and it sure would be nice to have someone around to take care of
stuff and do things with. I don't know, but the pool of men around here sucks!
No offense but G.I.'s around here aren't known for their sensitivity towards
women! I might give the two of us a try. I don't know I'm confused. I'm not as
attention starved as Holly! I just feel uncomfortable being so much taller
than you! Maybe I could get used to it. Just be patient with me okay? We just
need to get to know each other a little better first." I told her, "You know
my situation. I could be here today and gone tomorrow. Let's just take it day
by day." Just then she grabbed me by the back of the head and pulled me in for
a kiss ... a kiss that was a lot better than the other night's if that was
possible! Then she walked away to go back into the apartment. She turned
around at the bottom of the stairs and said, "Call me!" Yeah, call her indeed!
I went to push in the clutch to start my truck and noticed I couldn't touch
the pedals! Holly must have moved the seat back! It had been a long time since
that's happened to me! I smiled and thought of my wife as I started my truck.
She used to do the same thing to me all of the time! She would borrow my truck
to walk our little girl and our dog at the park and never put the seat back.
Then I'd have to move it forward every time I got in! As I drove back home I
wondered if this was a sign it was okay to move on with my life without her. I
miss her terribly and know that I could never replace her in my heart. But I
know she wouldn't want me to be so lonely. I hope Meredith finds it in her
heart to give us a try. I really missed being needed, the thought of being
needed by a woman. I know I'm what she needs, now if she can only figure that
out!
