Summer Ride
Sunday Morning.
Evie awoke to the low hum of a motorcycle outside the lobby. She lifted her hand and wandered to the back door. Her eyes instantly brought her fully awake. Jack sat on his back �11 Honda 70. Evie licked her plump. Jack looked up and noticed her. He gave her a little wave. Evie quickly slid open the door.
�Well look at you,� she said. �Morning, stud!�
�This is my girl,� he bragged. �You like her?� Evie walked outside.
�I do,� said. Beautiful black shone off the sun. What a body. Boy, what a body! Jack noticed her face.
�Like motorcycles?� he asked. Evie nodded at him.
�Uh-huh,� she said. The girl reached out to touch his bike, but paused.
�May I?� Evie asked. He gave her a little nod.
�Sure,� Jack said. Evie stroked the body of the beast.
�Whoa,� she breathed. Her eyes met his. He gave her a little smile.
�Care to ride with me on her?� he asked. Evie�s eyes lit up brightly.
�No way!� she gasped. �You mean it?� Jack gave her a nod.
�Of course,� he said. He handed her a helmet. �Hop on!� Evie smiled brightly.
�Sure,� she said. Jack took in the moment as she climbed on behind him.
�Let�s go,� he said. They took off on the Honda 70.
The heated summer air ripped through Evie�s long blonde hair. She hung on tight to Jack from behind.
�So where are we going?� she asked.
�Does it matter?� he asked.
�Nope!� she shouted.
�Fine by me,� Jack replied. They turned into the main road. Evie�s nose took in his smell. Cigarettes and beer. Usually not pleasant to a normal person. But, Evie those things. If on a hot guy, even better.
�Want to go faster?� Jack asked.
�Yeah!� Evie cheered. He sped up at her request. She laughed with the wind.
In thirty minutes, they stopped at a vending machine. Jack bought them both Pepsi.
�Thanks,� Evie said. Jack nodded. They took the first sip.
�So,� Evie said. �How long have you been riding?�
Jack smirked to himself. �Eight years.�
She gave off a low whistle. �Wow!�
�Yep. My old man got me hooked.�
She nodded. �Impressive.�
�And what about you?�
�Hm?�
�What�s your story? What got you into bikes?�
Evie sipped and smiled. �My first love.�
�What was his name?�
�Ralph.� Evie turned her can in her hand. �Much older. I was thirteen at the time. He didn�t stay long. Only two weeks.�
�Why is that?�
�He did as he pleased. I wasn�t free then. He seemed to have what I needed.�
�Freedom?�
Evie took another sip of her Pepsi. �Yep.�
Jack smirked to himself. �Want me to show you real freedom?�
She glanced at him. �You�re not just talking?�
�Nope.�
�Prove it.�
Jack stood up, grinning. �Come on.�
Evie finished her drink and smiled. �Cool.�
The pair headed back to the bike for more.
