wasn’t that big, but it had some of the same problems that a person would find in a large city like Chicago.
He rolled the window down in his Porsche and waited for the woman to walk to the car. She almost passed him without looking, but he called out to her.
“Hey Miss, can I give you a lift somewhere?”
“No I am fine, thanks.”
The woman kept walking and Rick had to drive forward. He did not want to leave her on the side of the road alone.
“Miss, it is the middle of the night. You shouldn’t be walking in this type of neighborhood.”
The young woman turned to him then and his heart raced, she was gorgeous.
“This is my neighborhood.”
Rick chided his self for the comment and figured she must think he was a douche.
“Sorry, I still can’t let you walk home in the dark. Please let me take you home, it will make me feel better.”
Meeka stopped walking and looked over at the rich guy in his car. She had met men like him, she called them the knights. They were always looking for a maiden to save. She smirked at the thought. She was certainly not a maiden, nor did she need to be saved. She was almost ten miles from her house though and she wanted to get home to her son. There was also the fact that he was with a babysitter and she knew while she would not leave him alone, Candace had her own things to do and the meter didn’t stop until she got home.
“I am just going to have to drive along beside you then. It is my duty Ma’am. I couldn’t possibly leave you here.”
Meeka laughed a little and walked towards the car. She didn’t have any bad vibes off of the guy, but she did have her pepper spray on her keychain, just in case. You could never be too careful.
“Okay, thank you.”
The man leaned over and opened the door. Meeka had to admit that he was quite handsome, even for an older guy. He probably had ten years on her and by the looks of it, came from a completely different world than her.
“Hi, my name is Rick Michaels, nice to meet you.”
His hand came out and it engulfed her own smaller caramel hand as he shook it gently. Meeka gasped with the shot of electricity that the touch brought. She felt herself attracted to him in a big way, but couldn't put her finger on why.
“Thank you for the ride. I had already turned down a couple of rides from some questionable characters.”
“Well I am glad you didn’t turn me down. So what is your name?”
“Meeka.”
“Beautiful name for a beautiful girl.”
Meeka couldn’t help the look that crossed her face. Was this guy for real?
“Sorry that was really cheesy. It sounded better in my head, I promise.”
Meeka laughed again, at least he is funny she thought. They talked the whole way there about nothing. He asked what was wrong with her car and she told him what she knew, which wasn’t that much. The two were at her apartment before she knew it and she was kind of sad to say goodbye. The man was genuinely a nice guy and she wished that she could meet more guys like him. It had been so long since she had dated someone, but she knew that he was not from the same world as her.
“Can I get your number? Maybe we could go out some time.”
“Thank you so much Rick, but I don’t think that would be a good idea.”
“Why not?”
“It just wouldn’t. I really appreciate the ride though. You saved me a long night of walking tonight”
Rick laughed self-consciously.
“Sorry about that. I didn’t mean anything by it.”
“I know. We just come from two different worlds.”
Meeka bent towards him and was going to kiss him on the cheek. His head moved and she found her lips on his. She wasn’t sure why she did it, but she was kind of sorry that she didn’t get his number as she watched him drive away. She never thought she would be the type to kiss a stranger, but there was just something so mesmerizing about him. She touched her lips, feeling his soft lips on hers as she walked upstairs to her apartment.
