It had been almost ten years since he had settled in the small Idaho town. It was a far cry from how he had lived the first 30 years of his life. Growing up in Miami, he had been exposed to many different cultures. But he was free, had money, and people left him alone.

He liked the isolation that his new life provided him, even if he missed the thrills of his prior life. As a teen he was a small time hood, selling drugs and committing larcenies. It was all petty until he gained the trust of Victorio "Little Vic" Esparanza, a Cuban American arms dealer. As he gradually made his way closer to his inner circle, he saw an opportunity. A once in a lifetime opportunity. If he failed, he would end up dead, probably in a very unpleasant manner.

He had managed to pull off the scam, selling the arms intended for the Columbians to a Somali upstart faction, right underneath Victorio's nose. Two of Victorio's henchmen had to be sacrificed but it was a small price to pay for the suitcase of unmarked bills he had found himself in possession of. Life as he knew it was essentially over.

He looked around the small wooden ranch he bought under his assumed name. He spent way too much time here and when he did venture into town it was usually short and just to replenish his rations. He did allow himself the brief guilty pleasure of an omelette and coffee from Erma's when he was in town. The fresh eggs and vegetables she used were definitely not to be missed. The staff knew him by his assumed name "Michael" but they didn't pry, even in their attempts at friendly neighborly banter.

It was time to replenish. A snow storm was expected and the roads could be closed for a week out where he lived. He brushed his long black hair from his face and looked in the mirror at his weathered face. Sometimes he even forgot who he was - Joe Camacho, the mixed race boy who passed for white with the Latin name. He put on his jeans and boots and made his way down the dirt roads in his trusty nondescript Chevy Silverado.

Michael was surprised to see a new face, especially an attractive young lady. His initial instinct of suspicion was a conditioned response, being on the run for so long. He looked at the simple nametag - "AJ." Hopefully she wouldn't be too chatty. The regulars he was used to had learned to keep the attempts at neighborly banter to a minimum by now.

He had been looking at the menu, even though he always ordered the same thing. "Yeah. I'm ready. Black coffee, large OJ, farmers omelette, and a side of rye toast." He smiled at her briefly before breaking the gaze, opening the paper in front of him.

As she jotted the order down, his eyes were sizing her up. Even in the plain, if not ugly, uniform, she was attractive. Definitely out of place in this diner, let alone town. Probably somebody's relative who needed to get away, he determined. As she walked away, he couldn't help but stare at her legs. Definitely an improvement over Wendy or Tammy. It had been far too long since he enjoyed the company of a real woman, he realized.
 
Growing up on the streets of Miami, Michael never learned the art of flirting properly. Any girls he met were easy targets to a slick talking punk with a little bit of money and a whole lot of flash. In the ten years since his interactions with women had been limited to the prostitutes of Boise and occasionally Seattle. The women around town had never appealed to him, even if he were to decide to let his guard down.

He had learned long ago to have eyes in the back of his head. AJ, the cute young waitress, had no idea he could see her staring at him from the glare of the window. He had to find out what she thought she saw. Maybe she was attracted to him. He may be pushing 40, but he was in good shape, had all of his black hair with only a few stray grays, and a ruggedly handsome face. His skin had just enough pigmentation that he always looked like he had a tan. It wasn't out of the realm of possibilities that she did in fact find him attractive.

When she interrupted him and asked if he needed anything else with her sweet smile, he did his best to appear friendly. "I need lots of things AJ, but your pretty smile will have to do for now." He forced himself to smile at her. Lying was easy by now. His whole life was a lie, after all.
 
As she set the ticket on the table Michael couldn't help but look down her blouse. Her ample young breasts looked so inviting and he felt the urge to touch them even if he knew he never would. The friendly gesture took Michael by surprise. He instinctively jerked and he realized AJ noticed his reaction. She was being friendly, that was all, but even the small measure of tenderness in his touch stirred a longing in him.

He drank his coffee and watched AJ do her job. When he heard hear laugh at one of the old timer's corny jokes he felt an even greater longing. He needed a real woman.

His mind snapped back to reality as she brought his food. He did his best to smile at her, holding his gaze just a little too long. "Thanks AJ." He ate slowly, not wanting to get going just yet.
 
I totally messed this story up.
