I was driving along the highway when I saw your car on the side of the road. Steam was coming from under the hood so it was obvious what had happened. I didn't see you and Mike until I was a little further along. I saw the two figures walking and figured it had to be you. I pulled along side and asked if you were having fun.
"My fucking car," was all you said.
Mike looked at me and asked, "How about a ride into town?"
"I don't know. You guys look like a couple of desperate characters. A girl could get herself into real trouble picking up the likes of you," I teased as I unlocked the doors to let you both in. You slumped into the back and Mike climbed in front. "AAWW, don't look so glum. I'm sure it's not THAT bad," I assured through the rear view mirror.
"My car is fucked."
"Yeah maybe it just needs some water." I tried to sound encouraging.
"That's not all of it," Mike volunteered with a smirk on his face. I could tell when you guys got in you were already half lit.
"Oh, really?! What else are you 2 up to?" I had a pretty good idea but I was in a good mood and wanted to mess with you a bit.
"It don't matter," you sulked.
"What? Is there anything I can help with?"
"Not unless you want to give us a ride to Jonesville."
"Why what's in Jonesville?"
"We were supposed to meet up with a couple of older chicks over there," Mike filled in.
"Oh I see. So you were looking to get some beer AND get laid before the car blew up on ya, huh?" I chuckled. I was loving the predicament you guys were in.
"Something like that," you grumbled.
"Oh come on now. It's not all bad. I'm not going to take you back to Jonesville because I just came from there but I have no plans so you can hang out with me. Fun, FUN!" I laughed.
"What were you doing in Jonesville anyway?" Mike asked, trying to change the subject.
"I was supposed to meet someone over there but he had to work late so I am headed back to town."
"Oh really?" you asked, perking up some. "And just who were you supposed to be meeting?"
"None of your business young man," I remarked trying to get out of the hot seat.
"Getting some on the side are ya? What if we decide to tell hubby?"
"You don't know what you are talking about," I tried to sound convincing.
"Yeah right. I know what you were up to and I'm gonna tell your old man."
"Come on. A girl can have some fun now and again can't she? You don't need to tell him anything," I was almost pleading now. I had gotten myself into some real trouble here.
"I won't tell him but it will cost you, right Mike?"
"Yeah right," Mike agreed. I don't know if he knew what you were up to but he figured he might as well see where it was going. Anything else he had planned for tonight was shot to hell.
"Cost me? What is it going to cost me? I am already giving you guys a ride into town. I could have let you walk the last 5 miles."
"And we could have too so that don't count. We had beer lined up in Jonesville. Now you're gonna buy us some here."
"I can't buy you beer. You're not old enough," I protested.
"You've done it before. Besides if you don't, I'll nark on ya."
I thought it over for a minute. It wouldn't be so bad to get you guys some beer. Especially since I knew you wouldn't be drinking and driving. "Ok, I'll buy it but I have a condition of my own."
"What?" you both asked at once.
"We are going to party together. All of us had other plans and they all fell through so let's commiserate."
