Sophisticated Ride

Two - Dante

I was driving down the highway much like any other day on my way to the newest work site, I noticed a very nice car pulled over on the side. Hmm? rubbed my jaw. It was a classic and I could see the hood open, so I assumed the driver was up on the front working on whatever made him pull over. Damn, is that an Impala!? I gotta check this out. So with that, and possibly a chance to help, I pulled over.

I got outta my Ford Raptor and headed to the car. “Yes Bitch!” a female voice exclaimed. My steps faltered. What the hell? Must the be guys woman. Whatever.

When I finally made it around to the front of the car, the sight in front of me had my jaw hitting the floor. Ohh shit. I’m almost 30 years old, I’ve had women, all kinds of women, and no I’m not a man whore but when you’re lucky enough to have a life like mine, all sorts of women become available to you, luckily my mom raised me good and I grew up to be a picky man. I only became involved with women I knew I could genuinely connect with or when I was younger, with the ones I didn’t have to call afterwards. And never since I was a prepubescent teen did any of them stun me like this. She was gorgeous, nice long straight dark black hair, lightly tanned skin, awesome thick curves that I would die to put my hands on, Mm-hm, full lips, big brown eyes, and the bit of cleavage I glanced was real nice. Get your shit together Dan! You’re supposed to be helping! I shook my head out of the fog.

She looked up at the same time I did. She was dressed like she was ready for an office job, or something fancy. Huh, she probably works at some high end job, but then, why would someone like her be with a guy driving a car like this? Ah...then it dawned on me, she must be one of those good girls into that “Bad Boy” type. Hmph, most of them were.There was a lot of those around the corporate world. For whatever reason they saw the potential for adventure with those sorry fools. So then, where’s her man? I didn’t see anyone else when I looked around. Great! She was probably driving her man’s car and had fucked it up. Now she was stuck on the side of the road with no clue how to fix it. I grunted. I’ve never cared for a girl who can’t take care of herself. Suddenly I wasn’t feeling as friendly.

Whatever. “Did you need some help?”

“Morning!” God her smile, it was a real smile that reached her eyes, “No, thanks, I think I got it, just gotta turn it over.” Yeah right sweetheart!

“Really?” I snorted and chuckled, “Well let’s see then, go ahead.”  Was that kinda douchy? Oh well.

She gave me a narrowed look but walked away to the side of the car. Time slowed down as I got lost following the sway of her wide hips and a VERY.ROUND.ASS. Shit.

Much to my surprise, the damn car turned on! What the!? What did this girl know about cars? I had followed her back to her door, I put my arms on her window and I leaned in. She smiled, she licked her lips and looked like she was checking me out. I looked right back. I took in a deep breath and damn it to hell, I smelled everything. I first got a hit of the the leather interior, then, a little of the car grease on her hands and when I inhaled again, I could smell her, fuck, something citrusy and sweet. Delicious, I wondered if her lips would taste as good as she smelled. Her full peach colored lips beckoned me for a sampling. My mouth began to water. I looked back up to her eyes and time seemed to stand still, holy shit! That actually happens?! And as I gazed into her eyes, I felt something shift, I felt like my soul was on full display for her to unravel. And in her eyes, I saw a story, a story I very much would like to know about. Her eyes were like dark pools of chocolate coaxing me to take a dive. And I very much wanted to take the plunge and drown in them.

She started to lean closer to me but stopped when I opened my stupid mouth said the last thought I’d had, “Impressive, did your man teach you how to work on his car?” Obviously, it was not what she waited for me to say at that moment and whatever connection had began was just as quickly DISconnected , because she gave me, what I’m assuming was supposed to be a death glare, but really she just managed to look cute with her little nose scrunched up.

“Ex-cuse me!?” she almost yelled, she looked hurt.

Oh damn, “What?” Shit, I had been drooling so much over her scent that my mouth didn't process the words through my brain before releasing.

“1) My maaan, didn’t teach me shit cuz I don’t have one and 2) The car is mine!” She practically spat at me. Damn she was a little firecracker. She made to get out of the car and I pushed back on the door. I smirked. I wanted to keep her close a bit longer. She looked back at me and huffed. Man if looks could kill. I finally let go and she got off, went to the hood, slammed it closed and began to head back, to leave, I assumed. Oh hell, all I heard from that little fit, was that she had no man. Fuck yes! Women usually didn’t give me an attitude when I first met them. They would do the stupid obnoxious giggles or the very annoying hair flip, never had any of them called me out on my stupid comments before. I wanted to see that fire in her eyes again.

“Shit! I’m sorry sweetheart, I didn’t mean to upset you, hold on.” I reached for her hand but she side-stepped out of my reach. She looked down at her watch and seemed to realize she needed to be somewhere else. “I thought you had a man, I assumed it was his ride and...and…” Fuck! I was stuttering like an idiot and losing any chance with the beautiful creature standing before me. Why had I been such a dick?

“Whatever man, just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I can’t like cars like this one, and actually know how to take care of it!” She huffed and walked away to her door. Hm, she didn’t have those obnoxious high heels a lot of girls liked wearing, she actually looked a little badass in those boots she had. She’s walking AWAY stupid!

“Wait! Wh-What’s your name?” I sputter-yelled as she got in ready to drive away, but she just answered, “I’m late!” and sped off.

Holy shit! I looked down at my watch, so was I!
