Chapter 1 - The Big Lie
My name is Trisha and my story is about how my life changed last summer after getting pulled over and telling the officer a lie. Now I'm not the best with words so try to bare with me as I will do my best to tell you what happened that night.
A little about me. I'm 27 years old. I am 5'-9" tall, slender body, small breasts that compliment my thin physique. My thick head of shiny brunette hair drapes just below my shoulders. I've had many compliments on my hair in the past.
In high school I was popular, but not with the cheerleader and cool kid crowd. I hung around with the 'loser' crowd.
They were my people, the ones I could relate to and they me. Most of the popular girls at my school secretly wondered what the hell a tall attractive girl such as myself would be doing hanging around with the trouble maker crowd.
At the same time they maintained a certain respect for me. I didn't take shit and I could get in your face if provoked.
I often ditched school with friends to hang out and party at one of their houses, drink beer, smoke weed and could care less about academics.
I squeaked by and barely managed to graduate.
Not much has changed with me up until today. I've had on and off again jobs since high school. Eventually I get fired for calling in sick too many times from hang overs or I just get bored and quit. They're always crappy jobs anyways, so no loss.
Hey, I'm just a lazy chic that would rather chill with friends getting high all day getting into trouble. Recently I agreed to stay in a half way house per my dad's insistence. I didn't have to but I had nowhere else to go at the time. I wasn't ready to clean myself up so I broke the rules on almost a daily basis. I tried to hide it best I could.
One night while driving over to Jake's house I was pulled over by the police. Jake was a on and off again boyfriend that I knew had a warrant out for his arrest for never showing up for his community service.
Thank god this would be one of those rare times that I hadn't drank before I got behind the wheel. I was still nervous though because I've usually got something wrong with me. I wondered if I had something laying around my car that shouldn't be there.
I was freaking out.
I've never been a fan of law enforcement. They always made me nervous because I was usually doing something wrong whenever I crossed paths with the.
I quickly checked myself in the mirror and thought that I still looked dolled up enough to sweet talk my way out of this, whatever it may be.
It was about 7:30 that Tuesday night. It was dark and very chilly with a blizzard that was supposed to be moving in very soon. I was on a remote 2 lane highway with very few cars on it.
I began rolling the window down while at the same times shuffling through my console and items laying around my car worried I left something out that I wouldn't want to be seen.
Unaware the officer had already approached my window, I was startled when I heard a female voice.
"How are you doing tonight?" she said.
Her voice had a concerning sound to it and her tone had a confidence and maturity to it. It commanded respect.
Startled as I was, I quickly stopped shuffling through all my crap while looking suspicious I'm sure, turned to face her. It's show time for me. Time to put my act on, whatever that was going to be.
I'm now in survival mode.
Her face was mostly expressionless but slightly concerned. Her clear white eyes were focused on my own. It felt as though she was downloading my information through her eyes. She could see right through me I thought.
"I'm fine" I said with a puzzled look.
She was an attractive woman I'd guess in her late 30's. Her facial features were symmetrical and well balanced. She'd probably be very pretty if she wore a little make up I thought. Her hair was like mine, but hers was pulled back in a pony tail.
I couldn't see all of her because she was standing at my window, but she seemed to have an athletic hour glass body. A thin waste and a large bosom. She fit her uniform well and I figured she was probably a gym rat or something.
"My name is Officer Wendell. I stopped you because you have a tail light out." I let out a big sigh of relief while still expressing concern. "Really? I didn't know that. I will get it taken care of right away, mam."
Her face lightened up slightly exposing a hint of a smile. It seemed like she was trying to suppress it, but she had to keep it serious. I mean, she plenty of time to read through me. You know, my messy car, hear the way I talk. She most likely assumes I have a criminal element to me.
There's never hiding who I am. My appearance and demeanor is a dead give away. Trashy, uneducated, sassy and an airhead with a simple mind.
"Do you know that a storm is on it's way? Where are you going tonight?" She asked. I assumed she was using the storm as an excuse to ask me where I was going. I'm sure she assumed I was up to no good whatever it was.
"Shit" I thought to myself.
Realizing that I was on my way to my boyfriends house and that the police are looking for him, and worrying she'll ask me for a name, I had to think fast.
I couldn't tell her the truth. I was going to have to lie.
"I got into a fight with a friend of mine earlier, so I had to leave and now I'm just trying to find a motel or someplace safe to stay tonight.", I said with a sad & almost tearful expression.
She seemed to accept my lie.
Her face was telling me that she was concerned with my answer.
I continued timidly, "You wouldn't happen to know if there is a decent safe place to stay around here tonight, would you?"
But the tone in my voice was screaming "I know you don't give a shit about poor little me or any of my problems!"
She just stood there, staring at me, as though she were in her own deep thoughts, still registering what I had just asked her.
"There's a motel about 30 minutes on down the road, but I believe they might've recently shut down.
Do you have a phone with you?" She asked.
I looked down at my lap shaking my head with my hands coming up to my face. "I left my charger at my friends house and my phone is dead." I sadly replied.
I was able to shed a couple of tears and lifted my head back up towards her so she could see proof of my my Oscar winning performance.
"You really are having a bad day, aren't you sweetie." I wiped away my tears and gave a small smile which would tell her that I appreciated having somebody sympathize with me and understand the dire situation that I found myself in.
"Yeah, I guess I am." I continued to express my despair but with a good sport sort of smile meant only for her. She knew I had nothing to smile about. She was trying hard to figure me out.
"Hang right here for me sweetie. I'm going to go back to my car and make a couple calls and see if I can't find you a place to go tonight.
"Oh thank you, I cried with such relief as I put my hand on my chest, using body language to sell emotions of such tremendous relief."
It was a little over the top, but made for a strong impact on how appreciative I was of her. I looked back up at her and into her eyes. I said again, "Thank you so much."
She gave me a friendly smile and was proud of herself for being helpful but more so for how much it really meant to me. I'm pretty sure she was now determined to be my savior tonight.
"I'll be right back" she said as she turned to walk back to her car. I used the opportunity to get a good look at her through my side mirror.
She was about 5'- 4" with an athletic body. For how big her breasts were, her waste was thin and her butt was round and shapely. She had a really cute little ass, I thought.
I've never been into girls, but something about the way she moved her ass when she walked in that tight uniform was intriguing.
Maybe it was the fascination with her gun attached to her hip. I wondered if she thought that she was hot, or knew that she was.
I'm well aware of my assets, and I use it to my advantage whenever the occasion arises. We had the same hair as each other, almost identical in length, color and body, only hers was in a pony tail.
Officer Wendell seemed like a no nonsense type of woman. She was mostly serious and had a strong professional demeanor about her. She had a confidence about her that was very captivating to me. She's everything in a woman that I am not. If I had a mom like that growing up, I would probably be a role model citizen, I thought to myself.
I figured that such a mature and well spoken woman such as herself probably would have a pretty low opinion of someone like me. She worked hard to get where she was and she deserved a certain amount of respect, whereas on the other hand, you couldn't say that about me.
I've always been a hot mess.
Chapter 2: No Availability
After waiting about ten minutes, I hear her door close and look in my mirror to see her walking back to me. She was walking at a slow pace. I was curious as to what she would advise me to do. I looked up at her eager to hear what she came up with.
She looked down at me and I helplessly looked into her gorgeous eyes again and waited for her to speak.
"So you don't have anywhere at all to stay tonight, is that right?"
"Right" I said as my face quickly turned to a defeated expression, one of having lost all hope.
