It was a freezing, rainy, Thursday night. I remember I was driving incredibly slow down the semi- empty road because I could hardly see.
The time was set around 11:00 pm, I had just got back from the office and was exhausted. I could barely keep my eyes open- so I took a quick sip of my drink (which kinda woke me up).
The rain was starting to ease up when I seen a woman in the middle of the road. She saw my headlights and immediately ran to the side of the road. Out of curiosity, I slowed down and rolled down my window once the car was in front of her.
That's when I got a first real glimpse of the person- she was gorgeous.
She had these long locs that fell to her mid back, and she had eyes that were so mesmerizing.
We stared at one another for a short while before she began to walk away.
The once slacked up rain began to pour down again- so the girl was getting soaked.
"MA'AM! YOU NEED A RIDE?" I offered, pulling up the car a little so she could easily get in. She took a moment to consider the offer but declined.
"I don't know you sir, you could be a serial killer" She pointed out
"I swear I'm not"
"Said every serial killer ever" She laughed. I laughed along with her and offered her a ride one more time. She hesitatingly got in the car.
"I want you to know that I grew up with 6 older brothers and a mother who was a professional boxer. I know how to defend myself" I chuckled at her cautiousness but did notice she pulled a taser and pepper spray from the bag she carried.
"Is all that really necessary?" I asked.
"I mean, I wouldn't know considering I don't hop in the car with random white men on a regular occasion"
We shared a laugh before settling into a silence. I seen city lights and things of that in the distance so I asked the girl where she wanted to go.
"Just drop me off at the nearest gas station"
I nodded and began driving to the one just 5 minutes away. We both went back into a silence before I asked;
"So what's your name?"
She looked over at me and smiled, "Why? So you can stalk me?"
"No, so I know who I'm riding with" I shrugged
She sighed, "My name is Myra."
"Beautiful name" I complimented
"I'm glad you think so"
We pulled up to the gas station and Myra hopped out. She was damp from all that rain- no jacket on or anything. And as mentioned, it was freezing outside.
I looked in my backseat and grabbed a jacket that happened to be sitting there.
"Hey, Myra!" I called out before she could walk away. She jogged over to the window and I gave her the jacket. She took it and put it on.
"Thank you so much. It's freezing out here"
"No problem"
We said our goodbyes and she disappeared into the little convenience store.
I drove away maybe 5 minutes later- this girl had my mind racing.
She was undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen- and there was just something about her that drew me in.
It would be maybe a year before I ran into Myra again- but I pledged to get to know her better and see her around a bit more.
She was more trusting of me considering my act of kindness the last time we had seen one another.
There was just something I liked about her, so I knew I needed to make her mine.
