A few days after my victory, I got a call from Judy, the young woman I met at the final. I didn't have the time to chat with her, but Viktor had given her my contact details, because he knew we'd get on well together. Judy had arranged a meeting at the Cherry Blossom Market around nightfall.

 

 

 

With my earnings, I had bought myself a new wardrobe and finally a motorcycle, an excellent vehicle for riding through Night City. I still had half my cash prize, which I kept in reserve until I could find a decent place to settle down.

 

 

 

Judy was waiting for me on a bench above the market.

"There she is, Eleanor the Celeste! Damn, I didn't think you'd win, but you did! Thanks to you, the Moxes and I made a lot of eddies!"

"Please Judy, the thrill was all mine! To what do I owe this meeting?"

"Well, Viktor told me where you lived, and I figured you could have something much better. Follow me. "

 

 

 

"So Eleanor, what's your background? I've never heard your name anywhere in Night City."

"Long story short, I used to be a corpo for Arasaka. A few months ago, I was kicked out flat... So since then, I've returned to my real name and I'm trying to survive, just like everyone else. What about you Judy?"

"I'm a techie in braindance or BD. I work for the Mox in their HQ, at Lizzie's bar. You know the place?"

"Yeah. So you're the genius behind these creations, you do a terrific job!"

"Thanks! We're almost there."

 

 

 

After a brief walk, Judy stopped in front of a modest building.

"This is it. Okay, the building doesn't give you a good feeling, and it's underneath the freeway, but you'll see, the inside is much cooler than the outside!"

"I certainly hope so, even my dingy motel is much fancier next to it."

 

 

 

When we walked through the door of the fifth-floor apartment, Judy wasn't messing with me.

"Damn, this is so cozy and I love the ambience. How much is it?"

"You can rent it for 30,000 eurodollars and have it right away. Sounds good?"

"Let's go for it! Thanks Judy, you're a real pro!"

"You're welcome, I'll let you get settled, I have to go to the office. Why don't you come by the bar tonight? We'll have a drink to celebrate, okay?"

"I'm in, baby!"

 

 

 

I had a large living space with a lounge, a kitchen and this desk, overlooking the Corpos district. Again and again, the world revolved around them. But enough of that, today was my little victory, a nice place I could call home.

 

 

 

After a motorcycle ride to the motel to pick up my things, I settled in. Jacket down, boots kicked off, I watched TV to kill time. Once past midnight, I'd get dressed to go out, take the train to Lizzie's bar and enjoy myself like a lady of the night.

 

 

 

I didn't have much evening wear left, but this blue dress with its matching heels was really something! Wanna know a dirty secret? I never wear anything underneath. You suspected it, didn't you, you naughty boys! Well, if I play my cards right tonight, someone else will be delighted.

 

 

 

I arrived outside the establishment after my train ride. A pretty building with cat-shaped neon lights tempting our darkest desires to spend eurodollars on BD and booze. My kind of dope. Judy notified me by phone that she had a technical glitch to fix, so I had to amuse myself alone in the meantime.

 

 

 

"Bartender! Put this on my tab, I'll be back for more!"

Once inside, I went straight to the bar for a beer to freshen up. I was in a festive mood tonight, and nothing would stop me from having an absolute blast.

 

 

 

Upstairs, the nightclub area attracted my attention. And after a few beers in the system, let me tell you, I've got a hip swing that would make a showgirl blush. I'd joined a group of clubbers who were also dancing to the electro music playing in the room. I blew their minds, until I needed to refuel my body with liquor.

 

 

 

When I returned to the bar, my memories became blurred mostly because of the beers and tequila shots. I was about to end up on shots of whisky before a friendly hand patted me on the shoulder.

"Hey Eleanor, sorry I'm late, how are you holding up? Looks like you've been very busy. Let's call it a night, I'll take you back to my place, it's right around the corner from the bar."

 

 

 

On the way to Judy's apartment, I remember tripping and collapsing in an alley, courtesy of my damn stilettos. I couldn't tell if she was angry or laughing, but she looked lovely in the neon lighting. It wasn't just the alcohol, but I had a little crush on Judy.

 

 

 

I didn't know how it happened, but the heels were off my feet. I was half passed out, half sleeping in Judy's kitchen. She poured herself a glass of whisky and laughed at me, finally speaking up:

"While I had to stop a hacker from stealing porn BD, the girl I was supposed to be celebrating with got so drunk I had to let her stay overnight. What a night,

"Please shut up, my head aches so badly!"

"How about a drink like mine? All kidding aside, I'm going to remove my make-up and take a shower. You in the meantime sober up here and I'll get the couch ready for you. Deal?"

 

 

 

Recovery is the key. When Judy came out of the bathroom, all I wanted was to enjoy a torrid night with her.

"What are you up to, Eleanor? Your gaze scares me a little."

"Now that I'm feeling better, I'd like us to have some time together, to celebrate."

"And what makes you think I want to do that tonight?"

"Because you wouldn't have taken me to your place to begin with. Deep down, you feel the same way, don't you?"

 

 

 

Judy froze at my words, not quite sure what to do or think. I pinned her against the giant aquarium and held her arms over her head. Tonight, she was mine.

"Listen, I think you're gorgeous, clever and you give off a vibe that turns me on. Let me thank you, in my own way, for the apartment. Shall we?"

No talk, but I took her nod in approval.

 

 

 

In my eagerness, I carried Judy to her room. She wasn't thrilled with the idea, but she found her voice again.

"Eleanor, put me down! I don't like this!"

"Come on Judy, you don't weigh that much, I can take you to your bed."

"You bitch!"

"Save the sweet talk for what's coming, hmm?"

 

 

 

I dropped Judy on the bed and took off my dress. She admired at my naked body, yet felt defiant with her feet raised towards me.

"You're so beautiful, I could worship you and your soles all night long. However, for this first one, let's settle on something much simpler, yeah?"

 

 

 

I got on the bed too. Judy removed her undies and we began foreplay. Her lips were so soft and her kisses so pure. She was no longer worried, she was back in control.

 

 

 

Then, both of us on our knees, we groped each other's pussies. I could feel that she was as experienced as I was, knowing exactly where to lay her finger to make me moan. I returned the favor whenever she touched me.

 

 

 

"Oh my, you were wonderful Judy! This body and your tattoos... It's making me even more crazy about you."

"Thanks Eleanor, you caught me a little off guard but I loved it! You know what, let me give you one last treat, I can see you're craving for more."

"Give everything you've got babe!"

 

 

 

Judy got on top this time, kissed me while fingering me. No doubt about it, she had her way with women. I felt so much pleasure and passion from her, I wished it could last forever.

"Looks like someone's arousal is maxed out, already wet down there!"

 

 

 

After making me cum a second time for the night, Judy came closer and spoke softly in my ear.

"I didn't expect any of this to happen on our first night, but I don't regret it! What a way to celebrate our new partnership, don't you think Eleanor?"

"Oh yes, even if the alcohol made it easier! Damn, I'm worn out, you're a godsend Judy!"
