Excerpt from book:
Cal swore under his breath and pulled to
the side.
I was a mess. I had never been pulled over,
not even as a passenger.
Cal pushed a button and the window slid
down slowly with a whoosh. I turned to look at the approaching officer. He had
a flashlight in his hand that he swept across the side of the car. Once he
reached the front of the car, he paused at the front wheel and stood motionless
for several seconds. I leaned over the console to see what the holdup was. The
officer’s face had drained of all its color.
“Can I help you, Officer?” Cal said.
I hit Cal on the shoulder and mouthed, What are you doing? He shrugged his shoulders.
“Oh, well, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize who
you were,” the officer said with an uneasy laugh. Why would he be sorry for
pulling over a seventeen-year-old in a Mercedes?
“Yes, I am. I didn’t get a good look at
your vehicle till now. Hope you have a good night,” he said. The officer walked
back to his vehicle and drove off. Cal turned on his blinker and merged back
into the flow of traffic.
“What just happened?” I asked. I was
shocked and confused by how the officer had treated Cal. You would have thought
he was a movie star or a diplomat with immunity to the law.
“Ah, nothing, I just know the police pretty
well,” he responded, smiling to himself. There was obviously more to the story
and it had to do with whatever the officer had seen on the front wheel of his
car. What could he have seen? I was dying to find out.
“You have a lot of run-ins with the law?”
He leaned his head over to me with a
playful expression on his face. I felt tiny butterflies develop in the pit of
my stomach. “Me? Nah, they have run-ins with me from time to time. I have to
straighten them out, you know?”
He turned the blinker on and we entered a
residential neighborhood. A few minutes later, we pulled up to a restaurant at
the end of a secluded street. Cal pulled the car into a parallel parking space
across the street and got out of the car. I began to open my door, but he waved
his finger at me. He opened the door for me and gestured for me to take his
hand. After a moment’s hesitation, I stepped out of the car, my hand in his
strong grip.
