Let's Go

She doesn't respond for a moment. Her eyes turn to me, and then back to the window. To her drink, to me, to the rain.

Eventually, she grabs her stuff and stands up, downing her cappuccino.

"Hey, want to get out of here? My car is parked fairly close." She says, her smiling seeming slightly ****.

Okay. She's a stranger. I know i shouldn't. I'm smarter than that. But something about her... I needed to know more. The idea of her just leaving felt wrong to me. On so many levels. But was I willing to put my life in danger for that?

Dammit, think smart. I nodded for a moment, and shrugged. "Sure. Give a minute. Got to tell my roommate." I explain, hopping on to Facebook messenger.

'Hey Matt. I've met a girl named Maria. She's taking me for a ride. Will send through her licence plate soon, because safety and stuff.'

I send it before downing my own drink. Luckily this place was close enough to college I had just walked here.

Maria grins, happy for me to follow her. "I'll walk fast because of the rain. Just try to keep up. Maybe I'll even tell you why I was here if you're fast enough." She challenges.

I just grin in response, looking out at the wall of rain. This might suck a bit.
