I heart this chapter, its a little notebook-esque even if ive never actually seen that movie lol review please!
I slammed my head against the wheel sounding off the horn again. In one final attempt I turned the key in the ignition, it turned over once then nothing. Great I was stuck in the middle of nowhere broken down, by myself. The rain beat down on my windshield hard, I watched it culminate against the glass and the now frozen in place windshield wipers.
I reached in my purse and pulled out my cell phone. No signal. Aside from an axe-welding maniac, things could not get any worse. I stepped out of the car and set out in search of a signal. I kicked rocks on the dirt road while I walked along holding my cell phone above my head searching for just one bar. It would be a miracle if my cell even worked after this let alone got a signal. I prayed to god that there would be no lightening in this storm because my phone would act as quite the lightening rod above my head like it was. I glanced up and down the road in search of some sign of life, I cursed Randy out loud, he just had to pick the countryside. There wasn't a building in sight.
It was getting pretty dark and a being the cowardly girl that I was, I was getting just a little creeped out. I shoved my cell phone in my pants pocket and scuffed my way back to the car. I lay out across the hood and just let the rain pour down on me. Time went by slowly but I was oddly enjoying my time in the rain, so much so that I almost didn't notice the headlights approaching me in the distance.
I slid down off the car bonnet and began to franticly wave my arms. It was the first car I'd seen since my car broke down hours ago and I was not about to let this one pass on by. The driver must have noticed because the car started to come to a stop. Then I thought about it, did I really want their help? What if it was like a murderer or something? I had to take the chance.
The car came to a halt at my feet but I couldn't see inside because the windows were tinted dark. I squinted but I still couldn't make out the driver. I assessed the situation and felt safer, while it may be a stereotype I don't think to many murderers drive Mercedes. The door swung open and a pair of male legs swung out, it wasn't long until the legs became a body and soon enough the body had a face.
"Randy!" I squealed running into his arms. He hugged me tightly before I pulled back apologizing realising that I was getting him all wet. "Sorry."
"Its cool, Car trouble?" He asked.
"It won't start." I said pointing in the direction of the car.
"I'll take a look at it." He said rolling up his sleeves. He made his way over to the car and lifted his hood. He took one look, picked at something and it and closed the hood. "Your carberators shot." He told me wiping his oily hands in his jeans.
"Great. And I have no signal to call a tow truck."
"We can call one in the morning. I'll take you back to town." He said. "What are you doing out here anyway?'
"Looking for you." I said crossing my arms and looking down towards my feet.
"Why did you and John have a fight?"
"There is no John and I." I stated, finally meeting his gaze.
"What are you talking about?" He questioned searching my eyes as if the answer lied somewhere within them.
"Don't you see?" I questioned. "I'm madly in love with you!"
I couldn't take it anymore. It was now or never. I ran towards him and threw my arms around his neck pushing my lips to his. After getting over what must have been the initial shocked he slowly returned the kiss moving his lips with mine.
He pulled back and looked at me, unsure of what exactly had just taken place. "Salem I can't do this with you, you're a beautiful girl but…"
"But?" I said urging him to continue.
"You're my best friend, I don't want to ruin that."
"I can't be just your friend anymore Randy…it hurts to much." I said as I walked slowly back to my car and sat back inside.
I leaned back against the seat and rested my neck on the headrest. I couldn't believe I'd just done that. I'd blown my friendship with Randy over the fact that I could no longer control how I felt for him. I closed my eyes pleading with god to rewind what had just taken place.
I jumped when I heard the tap on the window; I looked to my left to see Randy tapping on the window with his knuckles. I rolled the window down not in the mood to have to drive back in the awkward silence.
As soon as the window was all the way down Randy reached inside and gripped my face in his hands. I looked at him trying to figure out what was about to happen. He pulled my face to meet his, our lips almost touching.
"I never knew this was how you felt." He whispered. "And I'm not willing to let you walk out of my life."
Then his lips grazed mine lightly. He eased into the kiss, locking his lips with mine. I moaned into his mouth thinking about how long I'd be waiting for this moment.
"What about Torrie?" I asked when we final broke apart. I got out of the car and wrapped my arms tightly around his waist.
"She's boring. What about John?" He asked.
"He knew he wasn't you."
He smiled and kissed me again, laying me back onto the hood of my car. I brought my knees up around him. I liked it better when he was right here with me…in the pouring rain.
