Hmmmshes running low. My baby needs to be juiced up. she said overtaking a man on his cell phone.
She made her way across two lanes and took the first exit ramp off the highway and stopped at a red light. She took a few seconds to find her bearings and plotted the way to the closest gas station. A few moments later she was pulling into the station.
Ive always wondered how you do that. he said rolling down the passenger window and inhaling the ever present gas fumes.
Do what? she asked.
Find a gas station that fast. he said.
Skill. Pure and simple. she said.
She took one long final drag from her cigarette and snuffed it out in the ashtray. She turned to him, took his head in her hands and brought his lips close to hers. She forced his mouth open and exhaled the cigarette fumes. He inhaled at the same time. They remained in this position long after the fumes had dissipated looking each other in the eyes.
Lucky bastard. she said pushing his face away with one finger on his forehead.
What? he said feigning innocence.
If it wasnt for those eyes of yours every woman on the planet would hate you with a passion of untold proportions. she said unbuckling her seat belt and lifting the small lever that released the locking mechanism on the gas intake hatch.
She walked to the other side of the car, opened the hatch, unscrewed the plug, and lifted the gas hose handle, selected SUPREME FUEL on the touch screen display and inserted the nozzle all the while staring at the human head sticking out from the passenger seat of the car.
You cant blame me for the blessing and/or curse that Mother Nature bestowed upon me and my forebearers. he said a toothy grin on his face.
She snickered.
Casanova. she said.
The dispenser let out a clanking sound automatically cutting the gas supply as the cars tank was full. She pulled out the nozzle and tapped the end on the rim of the intake and placed the hose back on its stand.
You always liked it when I did that. he said with an enticing look on his face.
Your washed up charms dont work on me bucko. You know how it works. When I need some Ill come a-lookin. Until then you can keep on waggin your tail. she said placing the plug back in place and turning it producing a clicking sound.
She closed the hatch.
You want anything from inside? she asked.
Yeah, get me a Snickers bar if you please. he said.
Do I look like your sugar mommy? Cough up the money. she said extending her open hand.
Cheap as usual. he said, moving awkwardly reaching into his side pocket for the coins he had inside.
He handed her the loose change.
She walked into gas station store and shivered as she felt the chillness from the over worked air conditioner. As she waited in line she spotted a Maxim magazine and started to leaf through it. It was another one of their 100 most sexy women editions, like every other one of them. On the cover was some unknown girl that had been recently discovered and was sending shock waves across the entertainment world.
It was her turn in line.
Tank #3, a pack of Silver Butts, this Twix bar and a 648. she said taking out a few bills from her pocket.
The clerk completed the transaction and handed her everything in a brown paper bag. She fished out the pack of Silver Butts, removed the plastic wrapping and handed it to the clerk to be disposed of.
She made her way to the car, opened the driver door and threw the paper bag and its contents on his lap and sat in with one leg still outside with the door ajar. She pulled out the lighter from the armrest and lit a cigarette.
Damn, cant you at least wait until AFTER we leave the station to light up!? he said snatching the cigarette from her lips and promptly snubbing it out in her ashtray.
She turned to him and swiftly punched in hard in the shoulder. She pulled in her leg, closed the car door and started the engine. She buckled up, set in reverse and backed out of gas station in her usual brusque driving style and was once more on the road heading towards another on ramp.
Next time you take one of my smokes youll have another pair of discoloured orbs. Catch my drift? she said taking the cigarette from the ashtray and straitening it out with one hand while shifting into third gear with the other taking the on ramp to the highway.
Yes mistress. he said in a gollumesque voice.
