I turn and walk into my house; I can feel him watching me, and I internally kick myself, why didn’t I look hotter today?
I hear the car start up, damn it, he’s going.
The car stays running and stationary out the front and once inside, I peer through the sheer curtains.
What’s he doing?
Thump, thump, thump sounds my heartbeat in my ears as I imagine him coming and knocking on my door and kissing me like his life depends on it.
I smile as I imagine how random that would be.
Randomly perfect.
But, alas, my naughty dreams are shattered, and I watch on as he slowly drives away.
My shoulders slump, well shit. I let out a deep exhale, that’s the first time I’ve met an attractive man in a long time, and nothing happened.
Not even flirting… well, kind of flirting.
Ugh, what were you thinking fool, he’s a policeman, and he did a good deed, it is his job after all. There was nothing in it.
I glance at my watch, oh crap, with all the tire action, I forgot that I’m meeting Avril for breakfast, I have ten minutes to get ready. I take the stairs two at a time, I better hurry.
“What do you mean he changed your tire?” Avril frowns.
“Just what I said, he changed my tire.”
“Policemen don’t change tires.”
“I know, I thought so too, this one did apparently.”
“Helpful.”
I sip my coffee, “Helpful on the eyes, too.”
Avril smiles, “Really?”
“Ridiculously so.”
“Why didn’t you ask him out?”
“Because he was just being nice and I’m getting back with Rodney.”
“Ugh.” She rolls her eyes, “Rodney is a dick.”
“He’s not a dick, he’s just going through something right now, so we’re taking a break.”
“For six months?” Avril raises her eyebrows, “A break is like a week, Zoe. Six months is a breakup.”
“So, why did he invite me to the wedding next Saturday if we are completely over?”
“Because he doesn’t have a date.”
I roll my eyes, she’s so annoying. “Oh, shut up, he could get plenty of dates. His mom told me he wants me back.”
“His mother wants you back, Rodney has said no such thing.”
“He’s going to ask me to get back together, I can feel it in my waters.”
