The air was dry as always, and the road stretching in front of Jonathan seemed to crackle with heat. He needed to get back to his grandfather's cottage. An old house he had inherited three years before. It just didn't seem to want to stay in good shape. Whenever something was fixed, another piece of furniture would break. The last time he was over the place, he noticed the outside windows in dire need of repairs. And so Jonathan was speeding along the highway, his convertible airing his hair while a symphony of metal played in his ears from the tools stashed in the back of his car. It seemed this bright day could hold no surprises, no unforeseen event as the mood on this summer weekend pointed towards handywork, leisure and proper time off warranting a cold beer. Along the road the desert gave way to small shrubland. Little bushes here and there that seemed intent on growing despite the harsh conditions. They stood there defiantly with their branches out as if saying that they had won this fight and were there to stay.
In any case, the word of the day for Jonathan was "carefree". Which is why is heart jumped when he noticed the white smoke on the side of the road. There, amidst the heat and dust was this old dingy car. Sitting down on the side of the road was this strikingly beautiful woman. She waved at Jonathan relaxedly, clearly at an attempt to slow down. Jonathan stopped behind her car. The girl got up and took him aback: she was gigantic. He had never seen a woman as tall as her before. He couldn't quite tell what her height was, but she looked almost two heads taller than him. "Car trouble?" He called out as his motor stopped breaking the monotony of the shrubland. "Hi! I'm so glad you stopped. You're the first car I'm seeing in about half an hour," exclaimed the woman. "I was on my way to my sister on the west coast, but as you can see my car decided otherwise. Can you help me with this or...?"
Jonathan was out and walked to her. His heart was actually racing. This woman was breathtaking. His eyes subtly looked at everything about her, instinctively judging how much she was his type. Her long skinny legs and massive, elongated feet held inside sandals looking several sizes too small. A long torso that displayed her midriff as her top was not long enough to cover everything. She brought her hand up toward him, ready for a handshake. "I'm Kayla". Jonathan grasphed her hand for the shake, his hand struggling to grasp more than her palm as massive fingers gripped him like a kraken from the sea. "I'm Jonathan!" He smiled back at her, and checked out the car. There lied the problem for poor Kayla: Jonathan knew nothing about cars. It would prove impossible for him to do anything about it. As they talked about the situation, Jonathan eventually proposed a solution: "Look, I hesitate to offer, but I was heading to my grandfather's cottage, about half an hour away from here. Only if you're comfortable, I can bring you there until we can tow your car back, or simply until it's repaired, or whatever needs to be done. Tomorrow I need to go buy some groceries in town, about an hour away from here. I have a few things with me but it won't be enough for long. I can drop you at a bus stop at the same time if you want to keep going with your trip. I really don't know how to proceed other than that. I've never handled this situation before".
Kayla looked at her car, then back at Jonathan's automobile. "All right. My phone's dead, but if you have one, I'll check out for a nearby towing company and text my sister to explain the situation. What's your cottage's address?" Jonathan obliged, information was exchanged and Kayla finally felt like she was taking control of her situation. It was unfortunate that her car broke down in this sparsely frequented area. She obviously messaged her sister not only with the details of what happened, but with most of Jonathan's information she gathered as an instinct to protect herself. Other than that, if things turned out fine, she could stay at his place for a bit. She wasn't pressed on time and.. Well, she thought him cute. His small skinny frame looked positively adorable next to her. She did realize that was probably exaggerated in her mind considering her recent... spurt. As they waited, both sat down behind Jonathan's car, in view of the incoming way. Kayla laid back against the car's bumper, her legs spread out in. Jonathan just made himself small by sitting down with his legs crossed, his hands on his folded knees. They made small talk. He heard how she traveled on a trip. To move to a new place eventually, scout out the coast. She learned of his grandfather's passing, and the problems with the house. Time passed at a decent pace.
Until finally the mechanic arrived. The truck coughed to a halt in front of them and out came a man, whose skin gave away the years he worked under the sun and heat, molded by the desert. Contact was exchanged, information was transmitted, and gone he was, with Kayla's car in tow, quickly reaching for the horizon.
Jonathan looked at her: "On our way?" Kayla smiled at him and acquiesced.
The convertible was swift, efficient and roared like thunder. Kayla, sitting in the passenger seat, was clearly uncomfortable. Her hands fumbled with the seat extender, trying to push it back and unfortunately discovering it was already at its maximum distance. She turned to Jonathan: "I'm super sorry, can I put my feet up? My legs just... don't fit." Indeed, her knees where completely folded and Kayla definitely looked awkward. Jonathan signified he didn't mind. He looked as she unsnapped the leathery strands of her sandals. Her feet were marked by the straps, and so she rubbed them a bit. "Having a hard time with your sandals?" Jonathan surprised himself saying. "Yeah I need to buy some new ones, these do not fit me anymore". Kayla smiled. She propped her feet up on the front, extending her massive legs fully. "I didn't notice they were too small when I got 'em, and I thought it could wait until next week, but clearly it's a problem." Of course, she was lying. Kayla looked at Jonathan. His eyes were fixed on the road, but his red cheeks gave away he thought he had been caught looking at her. She took notice.
