That Girl: Book ONE [COMPLETED]

Chapter Twelve

I drove down the Malia's Island bridge, drink my second cup of coffee. Before I left work, I had to get another one from Brian. I check the clock in my car and it was already 3:24am. I waited for my cellphone to turn on so I could let my mother know I was on my way home. I drove down the highway with my coffee in my hands, swaying my head to the music. I had a long drive back home and I wasn't interested in falling asleep, but my body wasn't comprehending.

I pulled up at the gas station near the soca joint where Xavier and I spent Sunday night and decided to full my car tank before heading home. I might as well do it one time because I wanted to purchase a vital malt to accompany my coffee.

I pulled the latch that showed the tank symbol up waiting for someone to serve me. After waiting a few minutes, a pump attendent finally came.

"Good Morning Mam, Welcome to Big Benny's gas station, how much gas would you like?" The young man asked.

"I'll take 50 please, and I can get a vital malt and 3$ worth of mint please?" I said handing him the money.

''Right away." He said taking the money from my hand and pushing the pump into my gas tank.

I unlatched my seatbelt, putting all the windows down before shutting of my car. The gas station was full so I knew this would take a while. I took my belongs from the open area near the car shift and placed it in the holder under my arms. Before I knew it, my eyes were growing weary and I finally gave up.

I was somewhere between sleep and wake, but still fully aware of where I was. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep until I heard the jeep's horn in front of me.

"Oh God.'' I said pitching up and yawning. I looked at the pump machine and realize my gas was just being pumped. Between the smell of gas and the bright lights from the tall hummer jeep, I was feeling sick and annoyed. I impatiently waited for my gas to go inside so that I could move from this jeep and its bright light.

The young man bought me my change, mints and drink just in time as the pump hit 50.00$. I gave him a two dollars tip and started my car. I reverse out my spot, and drove slowly out of the gas station yard. Just as I exited the gas station, I headed down the highway. I was more tired than sleepy, but whatever it was didn't make a difference because my eye lids weren't obeying.

I looked behind me, recognizing the same Hummer jeep that so rudely disturbed my nap. It was right behind me. It had been 20 minutes since I left the gas station and every corner I turned he followed suit. Things were starting to get a little creepy as I tried to focus on the road and look at the jeep in my rear view mirrors.

As much as I found it weird, I was thankful for it, because now I was awake. I was tempted to reach for my phone but decided against it, because I know I will frighten and call my mama and she will only panic. Instead I turned of the road and headed to the 24 hours Wal-Mart. Just like I suspected the jeep followed. I wasn't to sure who it was but this was becoming creepier.

I drove up and into a parking space as close as possible to the enterance. I realized the jeep hadn't turn into the parking corner as me just yet. I looked through my rearview mirror, realizing that there wasn't any parking space. I let out a sigh of relief after I notice this creep had no where to park but that was short lived. I shift my car in reverse making an attempt to pull off again but was completely stopped by the jeep pulling directly behind me.

My sighs of relief became heavy breathing as the jeep door flew open. I pulled my purse in my lap, trying to decided if I should make a run for it. I pulled out my taser thinking if I should kill this creep's ass or just risk spending thousands of dollars on getting my perfectly new car fixed. Before I could chose an option my car window was over cast by a shadow then followed by a rattling. I tried to make out who the person could be but I was unsuccessful because of my dark tints.
