Chapter Four – Eric's Ride Home
The day started out just like every other day. George took Jasmine's car because it needed some work done on it. She still had George's car in the garage, but she seldom drove it. George had a really nice sports car, sleek, white and powerful, but Jasmine was not very comfortable driving it at times, but then at other times that car made her feel young and free.
Jasmine was puttering around the house when the phone rang. It was Rick and he had a favor to ask Jasmine. "Could you pick Eric up from school? I hate to ask this, but I am in a jam. I have been called to a late meeting with my boss this afternoon and there is no way to get out of it."
"Yes I can pick him up Rick, should I just drop him off at home or bring him here?" She had a lot to do, but she had time to swing by the school.
"I'll let him decide. Thanks a million, Jasmine I owe you one. Got to go, bye." Rick said.
"Bye Rick."
Jasmine quickly finished up her chores and went to clean up before going to pick Eric up. She remembered George had taken her car for an oil change that day and left his nice sports car there. 'Well I will just have to drive it.' She thought. It was hot today maybe she would drive with the top down. She may as well get a tan too, she ran upstairs and grabbed the shorts and tank top she had worn the other night. She pulled her hair back into a messy ponytail and grabbed her sunglasses and went and got into the car.
Jasmine went out to the garage, a little thrill going through her when she thought of Jim kissing her there a couple nights ago. She opened the car door and started the big car, the motor roaring to life. She pulled out into the street feeling a bit naughty today, so she pressed the gas and the tires made a nice little burnout on the pavement. She smiled to herself thinking of what the stuffy old bitch down the block would think of her today. No doubt she had been looking out her window as she always did. She laughed as she thought about it. She drove a little faster than usual and turned on the music loud, the classic sounds of AC/DC pounding out of the speakers. She felt like she was twenty something again and she felt great.
She did not turn the music down when she pulled up to the school.
Eric knew she was picking him up, but he sure didn't expect this! She pulled up just as everyone had got out of class for the day, her hair was windblown, her tan shoulders on display. 'Damn' I like this.' Eric thought. He walked slowly to her car and got in. His friends were staring at her and not believing how lucky he was, a hot blonde in a sports car. They all wished to be him today.
She pressed the gas pedal as she did earlier and the car jolted away the tires giving a small squeal. She looked towards him and asked "Do you need to stop anywhere on the way home?"
He looked back but could only see his own reflection in her sunglasses. "Could we stop by 7-11?" He didn't need anything but he wanted to spend more time with her and to be seen with Jasmine. 'She's hot.' Eric thought.
