Long Highway Drive
Prologue
I was driving down the road on my way to a new town when my beat up red ford truck started smoking.
"Damn it! Not again."
I got out and using my shirt lifted the hood, steaming billowing out.
"Shit."
Grabbing a water bottle out the cooler in my truck bed I poured the cool water over the engine.
"I guess I'm stuck for a little bit, again."
A few minutes later another truck pulled up beside me.
"Are you ok miss?"
I turned to look at the speaker and all but froze. He was hot, like jump him now gorgeous.
"Yeah, just overheated. Should be fine here soon."
"Is there somewhere I can drive you?"
"No thanks, the whole no getting into cars with strangers thing is pretty engrained into me."
By now he had gotten out and come around to the front of my truck, having pulled his in front of mine.
"Edward," he said, sticking his hand out.
"Bella," I replied, shaking his hand.
"There, now we aren't strangers."
