So there I was, poolside with Paolo and Benito, drinking my apple ‘tini, when I realized that I needed a new pedi. Stretched out on the chaise, I happened to catch sight of my peeling toenail polish (when I took a break from staring at Paolo of course).
So I decided to take the afternoon off, lock up the office, and go for a pedicure. I figured Tracy’s latest antics could wait – besides, how many more crimes could she commit in one afternoon? I needed a little vacation anyway….
I hopped in my Spyder and took off, hoping to get to the spa before my favorite nail tech got booked up. I may have been speeding just a teensy bit; I’m not certain, but I’m sure that my martini had nothing to do with it.
Halfway to the spa, I heard the sirens. I’m not sure how long the cop was following me, since I was blasting my new favorite song so loud, I could barely hear myself singing along. I pulled over, and when the officer came up to my window, I was hit with this:
“Ma’am, do you know how fast you were going?” he said, pausing as I turned down the music.
“Excuse me? Where on earth did you get that shirt?” I stared at him with my mouth open, and he just smiled.
“You’ve been a naughty girl. It’s a good thing I’m one of your biggest fans, otherwise I might have to write you a ticket…”
His shades were so dark I couldn’t see his eyes, but there was no mistaking that tone. He knew I was a lightweight; one apple ‘tini was enough to make me forget I wasn’t wearing any shoes. His gaze trailed down my legs and he stared at my bare feet pointedly.
I tried to wink at him, hoping that only one of my eyes fluttered. “Eh….I’m not as bad as Tracy, am I?”
He shrugged, and placed both hands on my car door, leaning in tight until I could smell the Curve. I was starting to feel just a little dizzy…
“Depends on what you want your punishment to be. You want a fine? Or something…rougher? I’ve got some handcuffs with PTLies engraved on them, if you want to check them out later. Had ‘em made specially for you.”
“Yeah sure,” I squeaked. “You got a name?”
“Sven. Call me after the other guys go home. I’m on duty late tonight.”
And with that he left, sidling back toward his cruiser without a backward glance. I felt flush, and wished that I’d brought Paolo and his banana leaf along for the ride. In heat like this, what’s a girl to do?
I decided to add a wax while I was at the spa.
