Penny had just finished work for the day and couldn't wait to get home and out of her starched uniform.
She opened her car and slid into the oppressive heat, "Jesus it was like an oven" she thought to herself.
Ideal top down weather. She turned the ignition and pressed the button to lower the roof. Immediately the benefit of having the roof down hit her. Cooling straight away.
She headed out of the car park and down the country road heading through the forest. Hair blowing behind her and singing along to a faceless boyband.
Thump! Quickly followed by the tell tale shudder and clatter of a flat tyre. Penny hit the steering wheel in frustration. She got out of the car and noting the dip to front right, stood back to view the damage. A puncture, just what she needed. She was hardly dressed to change a tyre, not that she knew how. The private hospital uniform may be practical the ward and fit with the old school feel but the old style nurse uniform with hem just above the knee was not practical to be working on a wheel.
She kicked the tyre in frustration. Then looking around noticed a huge pot hole. She took out her phone and crouched down taking pictures of the damaged tyre, then moving over to the pot hole took a few snaps of that.
Next she wondered how she was going to get home. "stupid bloody phone" she cursed, would happen where there is no signal.
What was she to do, start walking? Stay with the car? Just then a large 4 x 4 passed her and pulled over. Excellent, she thought, I'm saved. She walked to the car and the door opened. An elderly gent sat there, military looking and with the air of someone used to being in control.
"hello my dear, bit of car trouble?"
"yes" Penny replied, "puncture, I hit a pot hole".
Penny waited expectantly, hoping for an offer of assistance. What she got was an offer that made her blush 😚
[22/06/2019, 12:48] Hola: "would you like some assistance? I am happy to help but, it comes with a clause or two" he smiled mischievously. "lift your hem and show me your knickers, assuming you are wearing some"
Penny blushed, her mouth dropped open and she said "you dirty bugger, I'll report you"
"no problem" he replied, "good luck, not many cars come this way, you could always call someone" he chuckled to himself, "if you can get a signal".
Penny muttered "please don't go, is there anything I can do, pay you?"
"I don't want your money my dear, you know what I want"
She looked around, it was true, this road wasn't used very often, she had been here 30 mins and this was the only car she had seen!
