My mother's boyfriend-A Urban tale

Page 47

I woke up in my car to a police officer banging on my window.
It scared the fuck out of me.
"Are you ok sweet heart ?" He asked me.
I let my window down, "Um, I'm fine. I just ugh..ran out of gas."
He looked around my car, then looked at all my bags in the back seat, "Your going on vacation or something ?"
I sighed and looked down.
I was to embarrassed to keep talking.
He knew I was homeless.
My bags gave it away.
"Where you coming from ?" He asked.
"Over East." I told him sadly.
"If you need help I can help you."
I started crying instantly.
The officer opened my door, "I can get you some gas." He told me.
I hugged him, "Thank you."
He hugged me back.
I guess he could see pain in my eyes.
I just knew he felt my tenseness when he hugged me.
He went in his trunk and pulled out a gas can .
I watched him pop my tank and fill it up.
"I'm officer Chuck." He said smiling.
He was so handsome.
Tall, blond hair, blue eyes,and beautiful teeth.
His smile gave me life.
"I'm Storm."
He closed my tank and put the gas can back in his trunk.
"Storm ? I never heard that one before."
I got in my car and started it up.
"Thank you Officer." I told him letting my window down.
"Your welcome. Call me Chuck."
I smiled at him , "Ok,Chuck."
He reached in my car and handed me a card, "Call me, if ...you know...something happens while your out there."
I took the card and blushed.
I watched him pull off.
My gas tank was full.
I could drive for hours now.
I drove and drove until I found a shelter.
I was starving , and I needed food.
I parked my car and headed into the building.
At the front desk, there was my surprise.
It was Zulia's mother.
We both looked surprised to see each other.
