I sat in the waiting area and called my Lyft Ride, it was set up for a roundtrip. But I knew as soon as I touch the app, some funky shit was going to happen. When a Car Ride app says 'Searching for Driver...' Fuck!! It didn't say 'Searching for YOUR driver.' it said it was looking for some lazy fucker who needed to make some extra cash, some him/she along withnoroba my hundreds of others all sign up and joined in. Then they thought about it...all at the same time too. What they thought is..'Hey, damn near everyone in this town and surrounding area have cars, I mean who would be calling a Lyft if everyone has cars?' True that but did ALL of you decided at the same time Not drive people around for money? No? But it sure feels like it cause I can't get a ride back home.
After two times the app just stop saying searching and just went to the home screen. Was about to look again and my phone vibrates. Normally I just it the screen button, but something told me to answer, it was Lyft. He told me that there aren't any drivers available, so he is going to call Uber and a car will be there shortly. In my head 'shirtly' has a different meaning because it depends on where you're at on this planet. Shortly in The Bronx is like ordering Chinese Food..5 minutes. Here.. My cellphone vibrated with a message telling me what my Uber car looks like, color and plate number...and 25 minutes for it to arrive. Fuck this I'm going outside.
I go thru the door and step outside. It's hotter than hot. No trees,meant no shade right in front of the building but.. To the left is a tree, shade, but it's about the length of 15 cars away. I'm on crutches and I hop my way towards the tree. I get there and I light up a cigarette. I'm tired so I sit in the ground, open my bag and take out my Beats and Kindle and... And right there sitting on the ground I'm jamming and dancing sitting in the ground. Happier than a fuck too.
This beat up truck pulls up behind me. I didn't hear it or saw it. I smelt it. Turned around and this woman had blonde hair and the prettiest set of white teeth I've ever seen. She gets hot..has in shorts and a t shirt. Asked me if I needed a ride. I thought about it..yes. I'm going into Staunton.
Told her my address and she she singing along to something and turns the volume down. Tells me she never did it with a Black guy before and wondered what it feels like. From out of nowhere she says this and I just thought to myself...did I look in the back seat before I got in. 29 years old, no children, live by herself, father left he a shitload of money, her words. And most days all she does is just drive around if she is r in the house getting her friends drunk and high.
Got home, got her number and I gave her mines. Today she came over with some KFC and about 7 large containers of coke slaw. She lives their Cole aw and so do I. She wants to come and hang out with me Saturday, Told her I got a cast on my leg and she said so what. I'm not letting her in, then again...if she brings food.
