My cell started ringing just as I turned into my driveway. As soon as I walked into my garage I answered on the last ring. "Hello Jacy how are you?" I asked.
"I'm doing fine Papi," she replied. "What are you doing?"
"I just finished my bike ride," I answered.
"How was it?" she asked.
"It was great except for the part where I got caught in a lightning storm. The wind was howling, trees were coming uprooted, it was horrible.
"Lucky for me Robert came along when he did," I said, with my tone of voice expressing my good fortune.
"That sounds scary!" Said Jacy. "Who is Robert?"
"It was really scary. I was miles away from home," I said, remembering how screwed I'd thought I was.
"Robert is a guy who just happened to be driving by in his pickup truck. He offered me a ride, so I threw my bicycle into the bed of his pickup and hopped into the cab with him."
"Lucky for you Papi," said Jacy.
"Yep, I was lucky in more ways than one," I responded. "But now that I think about it, it was probably his lucky day too."
"What do you mean by that Papi?" Jacy asked with a knowing giggle.
I needed to get out of my wet dirty riding gear, so I said, "Babygirl, I'm going to call you right back after I get out of these wet clothes and then I will tell you all about it,"
A few minutes later I called her back to tell her what happened after Robert rescued me from the storm.
So Jacy, as I was saying, "Robert just happened to be passing by at the right time. The wind, rain and lightening were so bad; I decided to take him up on his offer to wait out the storm at his house.
"At first I couldn't believe my luck because I don't know anyone in the area I was riding through."
" But now that I think about it I'm not so sure he was just being a good guy. He was almost too nice."
"Within a few minutes we were talking as if we had known each other for a long time. He told me about himself and his wife as he drove."
"He looked to be about 30 years old, give or take a year. He had a great smile and he's a good looking guy, and well built too."
"Mmmmm, he sounds sexy!" said Jacy in a naughty tone of voice.
"Wait until you hear the rest of the story," I said, with a suggestive laugh.
"The rest of the story?" she repeated, her curiosity obviously peaked.
So I told Jacy what happened. I said, "We arrived at his house and he invited me inside. His wife wasn't at home from her job yet, and he said she wouldn't arrive for another hour.
