Love For Cars

Aaron and Jamal shared one thing they were both passionate about, and that was automotive, they loved cars and knew everything about them. Aaron had just passed his driving test and took Jamal out for drives every chance they got. It was one of their favorite things to do. It was a cloudless Saturday morning, Jamal was just finishing up breakfast when he received a text from Aaron asking Jamal to accompany him on a drive to pick up their friend stuck at work. Aaron told him he will come over to pick him up in half an hour. One essential for any drive was good music. Jamal was more of a rock n roll lover while Aaron loved the pop charts, but somehow they made it work. Jamal was busy picking out music for the drive when he heard a honk outside his front door. He dashed outside to find Aaron waiting for him. He jumped in the front seat and pretty soon they were on the road. 

Driving In Texas

It is said that driving in Texas is a way of life. If the destination is within the lines, people are driving to it. People barely use public transportation here. This also means that roads are mostly jammed with personal vehicles. To control this traffic, there are endless signals spread across the city. So before they know it, the boys come to a stop at a red light. Aaron was tapping his fingers on the wheel, humming along to the tunes Jamal picked out. Jamal, on the other hand, was busy noticing the blonde in a black car next to theirs. She was dressed in a pretty dress, some minimal jewelry, her golden hair fell in ringlets on her shoulder. She was beautiful, no doubt, but there was something off about her.

Eye Contact

Jamal noticed the girl looking at him from the corner of her eyes. She looked anxious. He sensed her discomfort and looked away assuming it was his gaze which made her uncomfortable. The driver turned around and looked at him and Aaron and then the blonde. Their eyes met briefly and she immediately looked away from the driver again. Jamal frowned, something weird is going on here.

You’re Kidding

Jamal concentrated hard to understand her, and her lips were trembling trying to mouth something to him. And once it clicked what she was mouthing to him, Jamal’s eyes widened. She was mouthing “H-E-L-P M-E” Jamal immediately turned to Aaron and told him about it. He told Jamal to quit joking around. Jamal swore he is not joking but before Aaron could see it for himself, the car drove off again.

 

Heroes Without Capes

As soon as she spotted the boys, she ran over to them and hugged them. She thanked them sincerely for helping her. Jamal didn’t think they deserved her gratitude but it was humbling to receive it. The cops applauded the boys and praised them for their bravery and sharp instincts.
