The Girl He Craves

Chapter 37

Mitch blares the horn again and looks at me through the rearview mirror. “Sorry sir about the hold-up.” He apologized even though it wasn’t his fault.

I looked back at the old car in front of us. The woman looks to be frustrated in there.

.

“I think the lady is in a bit of trouble. I’ll go have a look.” Mitch suggested and I nod.

I didn’t care if she was in trouble or not, I just wanted to get out of here soon.

Mitch gets out of the car and walks over to the old mustard colored car in the pouring rain.

Twinced at the color. It stood out like a sour thumb and looked ready to collapse. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was facing trouble with starting that thing. Perhaps this is why she hadn’t driv en off yet.

Tcontinued to stare at her, admitting that the mysterious woman had managed to tug my at tention, which was very rare nowadays.

I couldn’t see her face, but I could tell she was talking to Mitch. For a second, just a second, I itched to get out of the car and see her face myself. I was even admittedly a bit annoyed that Mitch saw her face before I could.

Why was so intrigued by this woman?

Igroan, brushing my hand down my face.

What the hell was wrong with me today?

Thuffed in frustration, completely aware that one of the reasons why I was so intrigued by this woman’s presence was because she reminded me of someone I had tried to forget.

After a few seconds, her car starts and Mitch makes his way back to me. He enters and moves his soaked hat on his head. “Her car had been giving her a few issues but it’s working back now. So we should be on our way now sir.”

I was tempted to ask Mitch about the mysterious woman but I bit my tongue and just nod ded.

She drove cautiously and when she was finally on the main road, I find myself turning around to stare at her car.

Who was this woman and why does she feel so familiar to me? Why does just seeing a glimpse of her, even though it’s the back of her, make me feel so strange?
