She really liked him, but her mother wasn’t too sure.
He asked her if she fancied a ride in his car and she’d said yes. It was a nice looking vehicle and his idea of letting her join him when he paid a visit to a friend in a nearby town meant that she’d get to sit back in comfort on a thirty minute drive with his car radio playing music nonstop. He collected her from home, as planned. To her surprise, he pulled over after a few minutes and asked her if she’d like to drive for a while. She was thrilled and couldn’t believe her luck. She had driven her dad’s car a few times, just for fun, but she didn’t have a licence. He was good about it when she told him, saying that he had no problem with trusting that she would drive sensibly.
She soon got the hang of it and with his permission opened it up once or twice to see just how fast it could go. She really enjoyed driving it and when he asked if she wanted to keep going until they got to town, she jumped at the chance.
As they entered the high street, he had her pull over, outside the bank. He checked the time, saying that they were now running late visiting his friend. He did need to pop into the bank quickly, but they should hurry. To save time, he suggested she stayed behind the wheel so they could move on quickly when he came out. He suggested she keep the engine running and be prepared to take off as soon as he came out. With that he got out and went into the bank.
She couldn’t help wondering why it was so important to be at his friend’s house on time; he had always struck her as being very cool and laidback. Anyway, she’d had a great time driving.
She couldn’t wait to tell her mother all about it.
