Stephanie's New Year's Resolutions by Jersey Girl in Oxford (sue)

Jenny's Futuristic Challenge

I never think of the future. It comes soon enough - Albert Einstein

Alone in a truck for three days with temptation. It was only inevitable. The stupid promises she made to herself. What the hell was she thinking? She thought she would make changes in her life and think about the future for a change. Sure, she's always made New Year's Resolutions but never actually followed through with any of them. And like everything else in her life, she took it too far. Now, she was in way over her head.

She remembered the first night in the truck. Running her tongue up and down his firm length. The flavor of his velvety skin bursting in her mouth. She shuddered at the memory. Morelli, and even Ranger, couldn't rival the pleasure he gave her. She wanted more. Hell….she needed more! She was out of control.

Ranger always told her to be more aware of her surroundings. If she was, she would have realized she was in imminent danger. Now her fate rested in the hands of the men who surrounded the truck. She jumped at the sound of her cell phone ringing. The caller ID told her it was Ranger. She answered it but didn't say anything.

"Babe?" She sighed.

"I couldn't help myself. My hormones took over, and he was driving by at the right time." She could almost hear the corners of his mouth twitch.

"So are you telling me it was destiny?"

"Something like that."

"What's going on with you, Babe? This isn't like you."

"Okay..it's not my fault. I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. But this year, I decided to make some changes in my life. Now, I'm in so much trouble." She started to cry.

"What changes did you make?" His tone was so calm and soothing.

"I decided I wanted to be the best bounty hunter I could be. I was going to start working out and getting into shape. And….I cut out sugar." Now she could hear him smiling on the other end.

"Must have been bad…it's only January 2nd. You know I could have assisted you with all those hormones instead of stunning the TastyKake delivery man and stealing his truck."

"No offense Ranger, but there's nothing like the curves of the firm sponge cake with the creamy butterscotch icing that always seems to stick to the wrapper. You get to eat the cake and then get to lick the icing off the wrapper, too. OH MY GOD!" She tore open another box of Butterscotch Krimpets. She was so into her TastyKake orgy that she failed to notice the police sneak up to the driver's side door. The police pulled her out of the truck. "No! Just one more! Please!" An officer removed the box from her hands.

Morelli had just pulled up and ran over to the officers attempting to lead Stephanie to their car. "Let her go. The driver of the truck was wanted by the FBI. TastyKake is dropping all charges against Stephanie and letting her keep the contents of the truck. There's also a $25,000.00 reward from the FBI," he told them. The officers released her. "I gotta hand it to you, Cupcake. You really did it this time." He smiled.

"Proud of you, Babe," Ranger told her. She grabbed the box out of the officer's hands.

"Really? I get to keep everything. Yes!!!!!!" Moaning, she stuffed another Krimpet into her mouth. "God bless New Year's Resolutions!"
