So - I was out of gas.
So - I was out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
So - I was out of gas in the middle of nowhere, wearing the same skimpy cocktail dress I'd had on when I stormed out of what I'd thought was *our* hotel room in Vegas, after Ray's wife (he'd said he wasn't married, but she sure seemed to think he was) informed me that it was *their* hotel room. Ray had just stood there, grinning like the world's stupidest sheep - and wearing my best white lace teddy.
I'd been so blind with fury that I'd just turned on my spiked heel and gone; ignoring my suitcase and other belongings; ignoring my gas gauge; and ignoring the low-battery signal on my cell phone, which was by now thoroughly dead.
So - I was fucked.
Well and truly fucked. I'd driven for hours in a blind fury, had somehow gotten onto this two-lane stretch of what was definitely not the right road, and had no idea where I was. The gas tank ran dry just about the time the sun came up. That had been about three hours ago.
I sat and fuming at Ray for a while, and then cried a bit, and then went back to clenched-jawed fuming. After that began to lose its thrill, I looked around at the nothing that was the desert: cheatgrass, some smallish rocks, and a vast expanse of crumbly broken alkaline clay. No signs or buildings, no saguaros or Joshua trees, not even a tumbleweed to keep me company.
I'd thought I should stay with the car: my shoes were utterly useless for walking any distance, and the car was the only thing that cast any shade big enough to sit in. But by now I was wondering if this road was even in use: not one car had come by in three hours. The day was already getting very hot, and I was worried about my skin. A sleeveless mini-dress had been a great 'dare-to-bare' statement in Vegas last night; but I was a redhead with that pale, slightly freckled, sunburns-in-a-second skin. And, of course, my sunscreen was in that hotel room, along with just about everything else I might want.
I was getting thirsty, too - I'd had some water in the car, but it ran out about the same time as the gas. I was trying not think about something I'd read about the Arizona Highway Patrol: they used the acronym "J-FROG" for some of the bodies they found in the desert, when there was no evidence of an accident or foul play. It stood for "Just Fucking Ran Out of Gas."
That thought led me to stand up for roughly the hundredth time to squint into the silver-white mirage at the horizon (I'd left my sunglasses in the hotel room too, damnit), absently twisting my the length of my hair up into an impromptu knot as I tried to will a passing motorist into existence.
Fuck, now the desert was playing tricks on me: I could swear I saw something big, white, and automotive; floating within that shimmering glare. And here I'd figured it would be at least mid-afternoon before I started hallucinating.
Instead of fading back into the dazzle, though, it gathered itself into solidity and continued to come on towards me: a big white cargo van, all metal and exhaust and reality. Okay, so there is a God after all. I stood in the middle of the road grinning like a maniac, whooping and waving both arms to flag it down.
The lettering on the side of the van advertised "Easy E's Electrical Repair & Emergency Field Service: No Job Too Far." I was sure glad whatever job had brought it out here hadn't been too far. The van slowed to a stop in front of me and the driver's window rolled down, and then I was looking up into a kindly face.
"Y' be needin' a li'l he'p mebbe, Ma'am?" He smiled down at me. He was a tall, muscular-looking black man, in a red plaid shirt that set off the cinnamon tints in his coffee-dark skin. He was very good-looking, but might almost have been a little scary if he hadn't been being so kind and polite.
"Oh, yes, thank you so much!" He offered me a ride to somewhere I could call my auto club, almost apologizing for the fact that the immediate area was a cellular dead zone. I climbed up into his air-conditioned van gratefully, settled into the big comfy passenger seat, and kicked off the expensive 3-1/2" heeled monstrosities that had been masquerading as my shoes.
"T'ain't ev'y pretty white lady I meets starts takin' her clothes off fi'st chance she gits."
I blushed to the eyebrows. "Oh, I'm sorry! I should have asked first. I can put them back on if you -"
" 'S a'wright. 'Dem things don' look real comft'ble, and y'all gots pretty feets anyways."
