Part One
M/F
After being followed for several miles, he pulls me over. But this traffic stop is not your normal routine stop. When he sauntered towards me alongside my vehicle, I could see his broad shoulders and muscular chest through his standard issued button up shirt. Typically by nature, cops make me nervous. Even if I haven't done anything, the feeling of being obligated to your best behavior is always looming.
This not being a routine stop was due to my gaze at him and his physique. Not that I have a thing for cops, but occasionally there is a man that wears the uniform very well and stokes the thirst. Commands the authority.
"Good Evening, how are we doing tonight?" He asked.
His voice was deep and carried a stern delivery. His stature, solid and confident.
I smile my little smile that helps me get out of this sort of thing. In fact, I can't remember the last time I received a ticket for even the most minor infraction. I've always been able to bat my eyes and smile through it. I say hello back and answer that I'm doing just fine.
"Ma'am, can I see your license please?" he asks.
"Of course." I answered, then proceeded to fumble around in my purse for my wallet. I must have seemed klutzy and nervous. His eyes peered into mine as I handed over the items he asked for.
"Do you know why I pulled you over?" He asked.
"No officer, I don't think I was speeding or anything." I responded.
He quickly answered back that I had swerved slightly within my lane a few miles back. He glanced up from my license he was holding to scan inside my car. He continued on that he had noticed me and my car with out of state plates in the area for the last week.
Then he paused, looking back at me with just the slightest of grins.
My bashful timid smile came out as I could feel my cheeks getting flush. I quickly explained the abridged version of how I came to be swerving my car in his jurisdiction.
"I am here for a few weeks visiting family and friends. I grew up around here and figured I would spend some time this summer at our family's lake house. It's beautiful here, the weather is perfect, and I missed it. So, here I am...." I babbled on.
His grin grew wider as I spoke and flailed my hands around during my story.
"And the swerving?..." he teased.
"Oh yeah, that, well the mosquitoes have been feasting on me like crazy. I took my eyes off the road briefly to adjust my skirt to reach an itchy spot." I confessed with a somewhat embarrassed shrug.
