Gulp.

"What?” she says.

“Nothing was just thinking how much I …ummm.”

“It’s ok I know you missed me. I missed you.”

“Really?”

“Yeah really. Why do you find it so hard to believe a person could miss you? You got self esteem issues or what?”

“Which one should I answer first?”

“There you go again, wanna take a ride?”

In my heart of hearts I’d like to believe that this wasn’t a trap of some kind, I think that maybe a part of me wanted it to be a trap. Conflict thy name is Shane.

“What you think I am gonna take you somewhere and have you shot for letting me go down on you?”

Sharp as a knife her question

 I think I love her more and more. Did I really think that? You can’t love someone you barely know right?

“Yoo-hoo, earth to Shane? Here you can drive.’

“Where do you want to go?" I ask.

“Anywhere, where do you go to unwind?

“Alright. You have a couple of hours?”

“I wouldn’t be here otherwise sexy.”

I knew I blushed like a geek. She smiles that 1000 watt smile again so I don’t feel like a complete loser in front of her.

We get in but as soon as we pull out of the garage I hear a siren. Police siren. I see that familiar face and cringed inwardly, not this bitch not now.

I get out and tell Carmen I will be right back.

“Well, well McCutheon. New ride?”

“Officer Pieszecki, what can I do for you today?

“What now I’m not your sweet Ally anymore?”

“Alice what do you want?”

“That’s still officer to you. And I heard thru the grape vine that you received some new off the market parts? You know they are illegal right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about officer.”

“Shane?’ And she leans in really close to ask me. “Who’s that in the car?”

“Just a friend.”

“Girlfriend?”

“Alice you know you’re the only one for me right?”

“Don’t fucking bullshit me Shane. Why don’t you come over anymore?”
