The Plot II

Chess, not checkers

"Uhh, I thought I had a reservation. Look under Fletcher" I said. His fingers glided over the keyboard. He shook his head and said "Nope, are you sure"

"Um, no I'm not. I'm, not twenty-five though" I said getting worried. I needed to have a car while I was out here.

"What does that have to do with anything. As long as you're over eighteen and have an active legal license we can get you in a car" He explained while looking from me to the monitor screen.

"Oh, okay. Well I guess" I said "What type of cars do yall have," I asked

"It would be better if you told me what you want to use this rental for, or how many people gonna be with you. Are you trying to flex or are you chilling? What's your favorite color? Are you single? Can I have your number?" He said ending the sentence with that Colgate smile.

I smiled and rolled my eyes before answering with "Only two people, the other person is tall though and I'm chilling" I said ignoring his other questions.

"Okay, how many days do you need it," I thought about it, I should only need it for four days max.

"About four maybe five days" I replied.

He nodded his head while his fingers went to work again. He scratched his head before turning the monitor around to show me the cars. It was a couple of them.

I pointed to chrome black truck "What's this" I asked.

He followed my finger and cleared his throat "That's a Mercedes-Benz G Class truck"

"That's the one I want," I said looking down at my card.

"Nah Lil mama, that car about three hundred a night. That's a lot if you can't calculate. How about you get" He looked at the screen and scrolled down. When he found a car he thought was for me he turned it back across and pointed to it. "This nice little Mazda for seventy-nine dollars a day"

"Boy give me that damn Benz," I said laughing. I was good, I deserve to treat myself.

He stared at me for a while before sighing and typing "Alright man, you not with that scamming shit right? I done heard about yall new yorkers. On top of that, that's gonna be on my name" He ranted. I was only laughing because I knew he was deadass.

"Shut up," I said

"Alright so the car is three twenty-four but with my employee family discount, it dropped down a hundred dollars so the quote for four nights with the Benz is" He punched in some numbers on the calculator and said "Eight ninety-six. You sure you don't want to change the car"

"No sir," I said handing him the I.D and debit card.

"Alright," He typed my information and waited. I clapped when the receipt paper printed out.

"Yay" I exclaimed "Shout out to the scammers"

"Aye man don't play," He said cheesing. I followed suit after I seen him get up from the chair.

He came back with some keys in his hand and walked passed me. "Come on Kaylee," He said holding the door for me.

I quickly grabbed my bags and walked out the open door. He grabbed my bags from me and led me to the car.

"Thank you," I said "You know my name but never even told me yours"

He looked over his shoulder at me and smiled "Jarvis"

He held out his arm and pressed a button on the car remote causing the trunk to open. I didn't want to gawk but the car was beautiful. I mean a nice car but it wasn't like this.
