There was road construction and the right lane merged left, and she had gotten herself stuck in the right lane where it ends; she was there for a least a 30 seconds, maybe a little longer. No one seemed interested in letting her in, as the construction delay for everyone was significant, is was hot, and it was the Monday evening commute. I was getting ready to light up a cigarette when I came upon her, didn’t really notice she was young and gorgeous, just figured I’d get my good deed for 2008 out of the way; so I stopped and lit up my cigarette, thus letting her in. She really seemed appreciative, supporting a huge smile as she pulled in front of me, waving her left hand out the window and nodding thankfully in her rearview mirror. Once she was in the lane, she immediately reached for a cigarette, a Marlboro 100, I could tell because she put the pack on the dashboard. She dangled for a few seconds, looking in both her rearview and side mirrors at me, then lit up as traffic resumed normal speed. Her drag was deep with a distinct snap, followed by a long conical exhale. I could see it from three perspectives at once: through the middle and left side rearview mirrors, and from the back. Then she just looked at me through her rearview mirror and smiled as I took a drag on my cigarette; we were essentially smoking together. Each time she took a drag, I could see her focus shift to her mirrors, watching me watch her smoke. This continued for a few minutes until my exit.
She followed me off and stopped when I pulled over, then accompanied me to Starbucks. We sat on the patio and drank coffee and smoked cigarettes fo an hour. She agreed to dinner and a movie on Friday. Nothing like this ever happened to me before and I’m jazzed.
