"It's actually an undercover zombie apocalypse response vehicle," I said.
As soon as we had gotten out the door of the bookstore she had asked where my car was and I pointed it out. She laughed out loud.
"Yeah, I know," I replied. "It's the kind that even puppets make fun of." That's when I said, "It's actually an undercover zombie apocalypse response vehicle. I've got all kinds of stuff tucked away in that thing just in case. And I can go a lot farther on less fuel than some folks can."
She kissed me, let go of my hand, and told me to get in and follow her. I pulled out of the parking place and followed her as she walked farther out into the parking lot until she got to, you guessed it, a big-ass four-wheel drive pickup truck.
She climbed in, made eye contact, smiled, then flexed her finger at me in a "come here" gesture and started to drive off.
As I followed her I began to wonder what was going on.
That was her MOM in the store that handed her over to me like that? CRAP! I should have told her to give me her cell phone. I just KNOW she's calling her dad, or brother, or brotherS, or boyfriend, and I am abso-tively, poso-lutely gonna get the shit kicked out of me. Nothing says I have to keep following her. I can just pull a U-turn at the next intersection.
Well, maybe the next one.
Or the one after that.
Then there didn't seem to be much chance for a U-turn as the road gradually changed to two lanes with not many driveways off of it.
She eventually put her turn signal on and we both slowed and made a turn into a narrow unmarked driveway. I followed as we drove about a half-mile back from the highway, between rows of trees that covered the drive.
We left the shade of the trees and, as we did, I could see a barn. This must be the farm she was talking about. The barn was an older wooden thing - raised section in the middle with a double-door up there and a beam jutting out above it. Lower sections to either side of a bigger double sliding door on ground level. Wooden fences extending out both sides off into tree-lines.
I noticed all this as I was slowly scanning the area for other cars or trucks. There was no farmhouse, so apparently they didn't live here. That meant if anyone was going to kick my ass they were either parked somewhere else or hadn't gotten here yet.
She parked, jumped out and ran around her truck to my door with the bag from the craft store in her hand. She was grinning broadly and practically jumping up and down as she waited for me to get out.
When I did get out, she threw herself into my arms again, hard enough to knock me back against my car, and began to kiss me passionately again, over and over.
I returned her kisses, but kept my eyes open and watching the driveway
. I'm no fool. At least I didn't used to think so. But then, I AM here, huh? So maybe I am after all. At least my back is to the car and no one can sneak up on me.
She grabbed my hand and started pulling me toward the barn, still almost jumping up and down in her excitement.
When we got to the barn, she opened a smaller walk-through door in one of the sliding doors and motioned for me to go ahead of her.
"Nope! Ladies first," I said.
Fool, maybe. Idiot, no. Oldest trick in the book. Well, not the oldest trick, you know what that was. But still an old trick. Let the unsuspecting idiot step into the dark barn and he gets smacked in the head and is never seen again...
I was right behind her as she stepped inside and stepped immediately to one side and backed up against the door. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I realized she was standing about 15 feet inside the barn looking back at me.
"What's going on?" she asked. "Why are you standing there like that?"
"Listen, little girl," I said. "I've seen enough movies to know that when a beautiful young girl like you convinces a man old enough to be your father out to a barn in the middle of nowhere, it's going to be bad for the old man. Any minute now I figure a truck is going to pull up and your dad or your brother or brothers or your boyfriend is going to climb out, demand to know what the HELL is going on here and commence to trying to whip up on me."
"You think I'm beautiful?" she asked.
THAT'S what she picked up on out of all that?
"Of course," I said.
And she began laughing. Laughed so her she literally doubled over, with her hands on her knees to hold herself up.
Oooookay. Time to get the hell out of here.
Then she stopped laughing, stood up straight and walked over to me.
She stopped in front of me, took both of my hands in hers and looked me right in the eyes. "I'm an only child, so there are no brothers. My dad was killed in a car accident a couple of years back -- and you are NOTHING like my dad. And my boyfriend of five years broke up with me about four months ago."
"What was he, a fucking idiot?"
"I made the mistake of telling him I liked to be tied up and he freaked out. Didn't call me weird or anything, but it wasn't the same between us again and he eventually stopped calling or texting, even when I called or texted him first."
"Yup! He was a fucking idiot," I said.
She jumped into my arms and just hugged me for a few minutes. I finally peeled her off me and held her at arms' length. And found she had tears in her eyes.
