LATE
Summer
A wise woman once told me that we always want what we can’t have,
and when we got it, the appeal wore off.
Just think back to being a child and yearning with every fiber of your
being for that shiny new toy. Remember that feeling?
Now, remember the excitement that coursed through you when you
finally got it, when you finally held it in your hand. And now – suddenly –
it wasn’t something you couldn’t have anymore.
He was my shiny new toy. A taken man.
My forbidden secret.
I was late again. Dad was going to kill me.
I had promised to be at work on time this morning, but then freaking
Tom had to pick a fight. He had to make me late because he didn’t have
work today, and he just didn’t care like usual.
After checking my side mirror for a car in my blind spot, I moved over
into the middle lane, pressing my foot hard against the accelerator to make
the light that had already turned yellow. The car revved loudly in agreement
and soared through the now red light. I cringed and prayed the cameras
didn’t catch my tag.
I shifted in my seat, clutching the steering wheel tightly, my eyes
glancing between the road, the clock, and the speedometer. I was five
minutes late. I was just about to give a little more gas when an old lady in a
Corolla pulled out in front of me. Cursing, I quickly slammed on the brakes.
My bag on the seat next to me flew to the floor. The tires squealed, and I
gripped the steering wheel like my life depended on it.
My heart pounded erratically in my chest. Through my rearview mirror,
I saw the truck behind me also slam on their breaks.
Florida drivers.
I lightly tapped the gas and pulled into the right lane, passing the old
lady who was completely oblivious to my near heart attack. Resisting the
urge to flip the old lady off, I continued down the road until I saw the sign
for Dad’s and Uncle Ryan’s body shop Built with Attitude. They had opened
it a few years ago after Mom and Auntie Ames opened their bakery.
Pulling into my designated spot in the parking lot, I quickly reached for
my bag on the floor, checked my makeup in the rearview mirror, and pursed
my lips. I was only ten minutes late. I could easily blame the traffic. Dad
didn’t need to know about Tom.
Tom would be back to his normal sweetheart ways when I got home
later tonight. He’d apologize like he always did, buy me dinner, and kiss me
like all our problems didn’t exist.
It had become a once-a-week cycle that I had slowly gotten used to.
Opening the door of my car, I placed one heeled foot on the concrete.
Instantly, I was brought back to the moment I walked out of our bedroom
this morning.
