Boots On The Dash

" The heat is on". She sang at the top of her lungs driving down the road, top down, the candy apple exterior gleaming in the sun light as her hair's golden strands whipped against her face,mostly sticking to her freshly glossed lips. She was off work for an entire week and on her way to a far off much needed destination. She could already smell the coconut oil and taste the fragrant fruity chill of a Mai tai. The thought made her press the gas pedal that much harder. She was eager to relax in the sand and stay up till midnight doing nothing but relaxing after a long night of salsa dancing.

The phone began to rang. She put it on vibrate and ignored it. She needed this trip more than ever before and she didn't want anyone bothering her during this time of solitude. As she sang along once more to the top 100-80's one hit wonders on her jeeps radio, she couldn't help but feel a little free, and she wanted more than anything to get past all the tragic events that had recently occurred over the past few months. Murphy's law had set up camp at her house but not anymore. All of that was a distant memory and she was ready to put it behind her and get on with her new life. But as plans sometimes can go wrong in life, this day was no exception. It seemed her car was over heating. "

"Oh, isn't this just perfect!!" She pulled over on the side of the long windy road she had been driving on for what seemed like hours. She kicked the jeeps tires and picked up her phone and of course it was dead. She sat there in her jeep, her boots on the dash and sundress pulled up enough to expose her pale white legs. She could use a tan anyways she thought and laughed about how much time she spent in her little cubicle. Then suddenly got a little sad thinking about the tragic past few months. But she wiped that out of her thoughts quite quickly when she noticed a blue Dodge Pick up Truck slowly come up behind her.

He tilted his cowboy hat and his tanned biceps tightened up as he lifted up the hood of her jeep.

"Mam" he looked at her and winked. "Where you headed out here all alone-being a pretty young lady and all?"

She found herself overheating as much as her jeep all of a sudden. She wondered where He came from and where she was at.

" I'm not sure exactly where I'm headed-just on a long drive I guess. she found herself nervously twisting her hair around her finger.

" Well hun. I think this baby needs some working on". It looks like your going to be stuck in our neck of the woods tonight. He jumped down and offered his hand.

It was then that she suddenly realized she wasn't in Kansas anymore and that was alright. Sometimes the most unexpected things in life are unplanned. And she headed off into the sunset with her new cowboy in hand.
