looking at me.
“Sorry baby. I should’ve woke you up, but you looked so peaceful. After the awful night you had before I know you needed to rest.” How was he this cute just waking up? Oh God, I must look like a hot mess and my breath is probably kicking.
“I better get going. I have that interview this morning.” I tried to get out of the car when Drake caught my hand stopping me.
“Not until I get a goodbye kiss.”
“I haven’t brushed!”
“I don’t care.” Before I realized what was happening, Drake’s lips where crashing down on mine. His lips were so soft and moist.
I broke away from him before more than kissing happened. Drake kissed me on the check and said goodbye before getting in his truck to leave. I waved goodbye to him and went to find Aunt Silvia. I found her in the kitchen with puffy red eyes.
“Oh there you are! I thought you had run off.” She leaped off the stool and hugged me tight.
“No, Drake and I fell asleep in his truck. I am sorry that I alarmed you.” She was still hugging me tightly.
“Just please let me know when you’re not in the house.” She said pleadingly. “Listen, you need to go get ready for your interview. You have about thirty minutes before we have to leave,” she said.
I made my way up to my room. I had no idea what to put on. Rummaging through the clothes Aunt Silvia bought me, I settled on a black knee-length skirt and a white button-down shirt with three-quarter length sleeves. I paired it with a pair of black pumps then brushed and fluffed my hair to have my layers show in my new hair cut to complete the look. I looked like a school teacher, but it would have to do since I had so little time to get ready. I decided to forgo the makeup since I really didn’t know how to put it on anyway. The lady at the Macy’s makeup counter showed me some things to try. I was going to have to practice and I could ask Aunt Silvia for help. I was down and back in the kitchen with five minutes to spare. “Shoot, forgot to brush my teeth.” I ran back up the stairs two at a time, found my tooth brush, and brushed my chops.
When I made it back down the stairs she was standing in the kitchen with keys dangling from her hand.
“What is this?” I asked with enthusiasm.
“Russ and I thought it best you have a car. You are taking mine and I am getting a new one this afternoon.” OMG! I couldn’t get the words out to say anything.
“Look, I know it is a lot, but I don’t have time to take you back and forth to work with the kids and my volunteer work.”
“This is too much. I can’t, I just can’t.”
“Yes you can and you will. I take it you have a license?” I nodded, unable to speak again.
“Good, grab your purse and let’s go. After your interview we’re going car shopping. I searched online and think I have what I want narrowed down.” I still couldn’t believe I was getting my very own car.
“There are three conditions that go with us giving you this car.” I knew there was a catch. No one gives you a car for free.
“One- you pay the maintenance and insurance; two- you enroll at the junior college; three-you help cart the kids around when needed.”
“I’m more than happy to comply with all of those conditions.” I was almost bouncing up and down.
“Let’s go before you’re late.” We both got into the Lexus, yes Lexus. I had a freaking Lexus!
“You’re going to pull out and turn to the left,” Aunt Silvia said as she gave me directions to get to the diner.
The car purred like a kitten and I was anxious to see what this baby could do. I knew I couldn’t while she was in the car with me. It felt like the car wasn’t even moving. I could take Drake for a spin when I saw him later. He and I could enjoy a little joyride. A smile crept on my face when I thought of that. As we rode in the car, there was a weird silence between us. I pulled into the parking lot of Maggie’s Diner next to a mint condition 1935 Cadillac. It
