The Ford F-250 pickup pulled up in front of the dormitory at the college we both attended. One brake squeaked, in protest. He climbed down, and as he cleared the nose of the tall, four-wheel drive pickup, I was impressed with his nice looks; sort of wavy light brown hair above slightly sharp features, and with warm eyes. Under baggy jeans and a winter jacket, he appeared to have broad shoulders and slim waist, and looked to be close to 6 feet tall.
"Chrissy?" he asked, his breath steaming in the cold air.
"Toby, my hero, I presume?" I said.
"Toby, yes. Hero, I doubt."
"Well," I replied, "I...rather we...would not be getting home for Christmas and the wedding without you!"
"Without my boss loaning me his pickup, neither would I. Ready to load up?"
"Yup...Anyway, it is really nice to meet you," I said, as I grabbed my bag and roller case. His voice sounded a bit familiar, but I couldn't think of from where.
He opened the rear doors of the crew cab and put my bags next to some wrapped presents and his luggage. Then, Toby said, "Yeah, certainly is nice to meet you, too. We had better get rolling. It is a 5-hour drive with good weather, and we may not have that much longer."
I climbed up into the front seat, using the grab handles, and fastened my seatbelt. It was nice and toasty, with the heater going as strong as it was. Toby climbed in the other side, did his seatbelt, and put the truck into drive. He drove out of the school's entrance, and headed west.
Wanting to break the few minutes of quietness that followed, I thought I would catch him off guard and learn how he responded, "Didn't know I was gaining such a cute brother."
"Uh...thanks...I...well...thought you looked rather nice yourself, considering you are wearing a flannel shirt, and that parka."
"This old thing!?" I giggled, "I just threw it on." I really liked the grin that grew on his face from my humor, as he kept his eyes on the traffic ahead. I also liked his glances, when I took off my winter cap and shook out my hair, which reaches about halfway down my back.
"So," I opened, "how much of a surprise was it when your mom said she was getting married, and on such short notice?"
"Pretty surprising. I mean, I knew she was dating...your dad...while I was in my freshman year. And even this year, I still had not heard her say how serious it was getting, even at Thanksgiving. Then, I got the phone call two weeks ago that they are getting married on Christmas Eve! I wasn't expecting that at all."
I shook my head slowly, and added, "Yeah, me too. Dad had been telling me how happy he was, though he never hinted that he was going to pop the question. But a wedding just two weeks later! What is that about?" I chuckled, "You don't think your mom is...well, you know...?"
"NO!" Toby barked, "Well...I hope not! Suddenly gaining two sisters is strange enough for an only child. A third new sibling, and a baby, would be a real shock."
"Oh, so I am strange, am I?" I taunted, with a smile.
"You know what I mean."
"Yeah," I chuckled, "I do. I mean, me, 19 years old, college freshman, and now I am getting a brother...well, brother-to-be at this point. "To be...Toby" I said, in thought, "I think I just got a nickname for my new brother...2B...yeah, 2B!"
"Great. Fifteen minutes, and I have a nickname already. Girls!!"
"What!?" I laughed, "Guys have all kind of nicknames for each other! With your looks, I would think you have had plenty of dates, and would know that women like nicknames, too. Get with it 'bro'!"
"Haven't really had too many dates. Been studying a lot, and working, and well...I feel like a klutz when I try to talk to a woman I don't know. Plus, I get turned down, kinda often."
"Wait 'til to you meet my older sister, Tara," I snorted, unintentionally, "She dates a lot...and talks a lot. I bet she can give you a lot better sisterly advice than I can about approaching women. I am the quieter of the two of us, relatively."
"I assume Tara will be there, too?"
"Supposed to be," I said, "but with this weather front moving in, who knows. I am glad you could borrow this beast, because my little Toyota would certainly not have made it, if it were caught in a big snowstorm. When the airline cancelled my flight, I wasn't sure what I was going to do, until dad called and told me that they were trying to get my 'new brother' to drive me and him home, after your flight got cancelled, too."
"Yeah, my mom called, and I told her that my car was not up to challenging the weather," Toby said, "I am just lucky that the restaurant owner, Sal, who I work for, is such a great guy and let me use his older truck. And my mom told me that the airlines have cancelled 60% of the flights into here, because of the cascade effect of flights not wanting to get caught out there."
"My dad said that the chance of rebooking and flying out in time for the wedding was near zero," I said, "But, hey, this way I get to meet my new bro, 2B, a day early. This trip could be pretty cool, getting to know each other. On that note, where do you work and live?"
"I work at Maria's Italian Ristorante, down at 10
th
Avenue and Milwaukee Street. Sal is Maria's husband, and they are great people. They treat me like they are a second set of parents, and I live in a duplex rental property they have. They let me have it really cheap, as I work for them at the restaurant, as well as maintain the rental property. And I get the garage for my car."
"What kind of car is it?" I asked, being something of car gal myself.
"1969 Ford Torino Cobra. I restored it myself in high school."
"Is that the dark green fastback, with the hood scoop, which I have seen around town, and with that rad deep rumble?" I asked, a bit excitedly.
"Yeah, that's it. You most likely saw it around the athletic center, as I usually drive it there so that I can leave from swim team practice to go straight to the restaurant."
COOL!" I exclaimed, and meant it, "Stick or automatic?"
"Stick," he said.
"Really Cool!" I said, in a bright voice.
