The night was fine and clear, warm but not too warm. The perfect night for a stroll, or a sit out on rooftops gazing at the star-lit sky. It was also Wednesday; only a few days after Astraea and Hale's carnal encounters. She hadn't thought much of the moment, but knew she wouldn't mind a repeat. Whether it came or not, she would still end the night in satisfaction.
Astraea reached for her rearview mirror, adjusting it so she could study her appearance. She smacked her Merlot painted lips together, making a popping sound. Her maquillage was light, but bolder around the eyes. The eyes are what most see first, for her eyes held great power and motivation.
Suddenly, she saw a flash of green light appear above her. She quickly adjusted the mirror back to its respective position as the top of her heel pushed hard on the pedal. She leaned back in the seat, using her left arm to lean against the window while her right hand handled the wheel. A familiar song she enjoyed began to play, so she pressed the volume-up button installed within the steering wheel. She slowly grinned, steadily nodding her head as she sung the lyrics in her head.
Lights flashed upon the dashboard as Astraea soared down the semi-busy streets. She was going well over the limit now. Every now and then switching and weaving in-between lanes, eager to push faster. The adrenaline in her blood was steadily building, increasing in her veins each time the meter moved a little further. Her right hand gripped the wheel hard. The thumping of her heart made itself known as she could feel its strong throbbing through her chest.
She wore a widening impish grin as her heel pressed down harder. Her midnight beauty surged down the streets, putting shame to the other vehicles on the road. Some honked their horns as she surprised them with her sudden appearance but that only made her smile wider. Just as she was about to push it further something in her rearview caught her eye.
Swirling colors of red and blue shimmered the inside of her vehicle, bouncing along her face. With her music loud she couldn't hear the siren but with the way the car was practically kissing her rear, she knew it was her they wanted. She sucked her teeth as an exasperated sigh left her lips. The adrenaline that was thriving to the surface, gradually diminished.
She glided to the far right lane, pulling her car along the sidewalk. She lowered the volume, not all the way but enough to have a normal tone conversation.
Her eyes peered at her side-view mirror as the door to the cruiser behind her casually swung open. She watched the silhouette exit the vehicle, and as they stood to their feet, her eyes made out their masculine figure.
A sly smirk formed at the corner of her mouth as the man in uniform calmly sauntered towards her car. Hopefully you prefer the ladies. She thought to herself as he calmly approached her window, his hands resting on his belt. Without a word Astraea reached for the button and slid the window almost half way down.
Dressed in an all-black uniform, he slightly bent his head forward, his deep chocolate eyes meeting Astraea's. She gazed at him with a small smile and a spread of innocence on her face.
"Everything a'right tonight ma'am?" His tone was calm, steady.
"It is now," Astraea replied, her sharp gaze never leaving him.
"Ma'am, do you have any idea the speed you were traveling?" he questioned.
Astraea was silent for a moment, her brows furrowing as if she was trying to recall that very recent memory.
Then, she chuckled, her eyes brightening with a goodness. "Oh, gosh I was going pretty fast huh? This damn car, it's just a lot to handle sometimes and..." She glanced up at him again while his eyes gave her his full undivided attention, "and well...once you get something going its so hard to stop. Especially when it gets your heart racing, isn't it?" she asked. The look of innocence on her face slowly altering as a sinful expression grew.
