Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
âShiâ Shit. Whatâsâ?â I jumped from my sleep at the sound of someone banging on my window.
I cleared the blurriness of my vision by rubbing both eyes with my right hand, one after the other. My gun sat on my lap, tightly clutched in my palm. My index finger rested on the trigger, ready and willing to pull it if necessary.
My eyes darted around the darkness. It became painfully clear that I hadnât managed to get much sleep. The sun was still hiding and the moon was still glowing in the sky. Tired eyes searched for the source of my misery and the reason I was awake instead of resting. It wasnât until my eyes landed on Haloâs front door did I realize where the disturbance had come from.
One side to the other, she bounced on the tips of her toes as if it would keep her warm. Inside her apartment with the front door ajar, she waved me over. Too tired to even think straight, I lowered the passenger window to communicate. Stepping out would require far too much energy.
âYou good?â
She nodded, still waving her hand.
âThen, whatâs up?â
It wasnât until her neck stretched toward whatever space beyond the front door of her apartment that I understood what was happening. I could feel my eyes grow nearly twice their size while I attempted to process the information being received.
âCome in,â she clarified, âItâs really freezing cold.â
Itâs not. I reasoned, knowing that it was more than likely her nerves that had her temperature low and her body quivering.
âYou sure, pretty lady?â I sighed, unsure of what to make of everything.
On one hand, Iâd be delighted to take the couch over the driverâs seat, but not at the expense of her mental and emotional health. I was cool if she wouldnât be. It wasnât the first time Iâd slept in a vehicle. It probably wouldnât be the last if I kept living long enough.
Up and down, she moved her head. She was convincing enough as she walked away from the door and disappeared into her apartment. I took that as my queue to get my ass out and follow. I shut off the truck and locked it up behind me.
As I approached the small set of steps in front of her spot, she finally reappeared. This time, she was wearing a long sweater over the dress that stopped near her ankles. Even with the cover-up, she couldnât conceal those curves. They were determined to hold their own space in my heart and hadnât failed in doing so.
âGood morning,â I greeted her at the door.
She said nothing, stepping back as I stepped inside.
Her frame felt so much smaller in front of mine. I peered down at her curious eyes that stared up at me. She was waiting for something from me that I wasnât quite sure of. Maybe it was more words or maybe it was for me to move my ass out of the way so she could close the door. Nevertheless, I stood there, holding my ground, allowing my heart to lead since my head was in shambles.
