Her foot is on the pedal and her head is in the stars. Joy was a Bettie Page styled hottie on a mission. After a chance encounter with Nick Joy finds a kindred spirit but is she just too much for him to handle?
Hang on tight, this girl drives as...
"Meeting you was just my dumb luck, but I'm glad I did."
Joy traced the rim of her glass and smiled to herself.
"Umm, not so dumb."
I had a mouth full of teriyaki taco, but the weight of what I had just heard forced me to talk with a mouth full.
"Spill."
She raised her eyebrows.
"What does that mean?"
"It means I parked where I did on purpose."
I was stunned. I continued chewing, trying to get my food down to question some more, but she elaborated.
"That stupid Audi was nowhere near there. I could have parked anywhere. It's a parking garage, for fuck sakes."

"You recognized my truck?"
"Yeah," she cocked her head in surprise.
"I told you I loved old things. I wasn't talking about you."
"Burn," I smiled.
We clinked glasses and drank to that.
I beamed. I could feel myself smiling. It was hard to stop.
"Wow, just wow. I'm just shocked and a little speechless. Why in the hell didn't you tell me that the other day?"
"I don't know; I was mad, not at you but myself."
I had to shake that off. I wasn't about to cross a minefield that large.
"What was it that made you interested?"
Joy laughed. She was so pretty when she laughed. It was a quiet, giggling laugh that she couldn't seem to do without her shoulders shaking.
"You nut! I wasn't interested. Okay, I was interested, but it was all about looks like you. I didn't know you. I knew you drove a cool truck. I knew you were trying to catch up to me to look at me."
I nodded in agreement.
"True."
"I don't know, Nick, you just looked so," she paused, searching for words.
"Interesting."
I dropped the rest of my second taco back onto the plate and finished the rest of my sangria with a long gulp.
"Interesting? That's about the nastiest thing you could have said. Who the hell wants to look interesting?"
"Well, I don't know what to tell you," she said laughingly exasperated.
"I like interesting. Liked it enough to chase that stupid Audi down to the building you worked in."
I was going to say something, but I realized what she said, so I stopped.
