Cuffs and Kisses

Chapter 1 - Speeding

Heather

The red and blue lights behind me notify me that I've finally been caught.

I didn't think a day could get worse a month from the school year ending, but it surely did.

My best friend Mac and I decided to hit up the strip mall on Wednesday afternoon. On the way there, I may have been going ten over the speed limit without paying any care to it.

I pull over and get my license and registration card ready to hand to the police officer. I glance in my left rear mirror and see the hottest cop I've ever laid eyes on in Pasadena.

Most of the police are in their 40s-early 50s, divorced, and have inhaled too many donuts.

This man has straight, light brown hair styled in a combover crew cut with side fade. His handsome facial features were only accentuated by his aviator sunglasses.

Thinking ahead, I reach into my bra and push my breasts up. I also pull the front of my striped tank top down to put "the twins" on display.

Beside me, Mac drops her jaw the moment the cop strides up.

I puff out my chest to let my breasts stick out. "Hello, Officer...Kennedy." I greet politely. I read the name off his badge. I'm trying my best to use my wide-eyed charm to wiggle out of the ticket.

"Ma'am, do you know why I am pulling you over today?" Although his voice was stern, I couldn't help being attracted to the bass in it.

The cop has his arms crossed, and I can't help noticing his toned biceps peeking out from his short-sleeved, button-up shirt. Although a pair of aviators cover his eyes, I'm sure he's taking in a good view of my chest.

"Sir, I was only going ten over. I really don't think a ticket would be necessary." I am taking more risks than usual, but if it worked on the gullible, older cops, it could surely work on the most handsome of them all.

"Ten over?" The cop tilted his sunglasses down to reveal two sea-green orbs. "According to my radar gun, you were going almost fifteen over the limit."

I raise my eyebrows and look down at the steering wheel while Mac giggles.

"Ladies, this is serious business. The speed limit is set at fifty-five to ensure that everyone gets where they're going safely."

"You're absolutely right. I shouldn't have been so careless. I think I have learned my lesson, sir. I'll just get along home where I can think about what I've done," I reply. I try not to sound snarky, but I don't think he was in the joking mood.

"I'm not going to let you off this easy. License and registration, please."

I sigh and hand them both to Officer McSteamy.

"I'll be right back, ma'am."

The officer disappears from the window, and Mac begins to laugh, which annoys me.

I can't help but wish that she drove us today so that I wasn't the one getting the ticket.

"This is ridiculous. This is my first major offense. All the other times were just five over, and I got a warning. I shouldn't be getting a ticket for this," I complain. I cross my arms against my chest, cursing my breasts, which got me nowhere today.

Mac turned her head to see the man in the cop car behind us. "He's coming back," she says.

I turn back to the window and wait for the officer to reappear. "Alright, Miss Bright. Here's your citation. You can either pay the fine or come to court on July 16th."
