She knew she shouldn't be taking the short cut through the back roads, but if she didn't make it to her destination in the next five minutes, she could kiss that new job good bye. Diane had been driving for three hours to make it to this interview and had less than five minutes until she would be there.
"I can make it," Diane said to herself. "I have to make it."
About that time Diane looked in her rearview mirror and winced. She saw the flashing lights and knew that any hopes of landing this new job just disappeared, as the lights grew brighter.
"Damn!" She cursed.
Diane pulled her teal green, two-door Chevy Cavalier to the side of the road, what little there was, and waited patiently for the officer to finish ruining her day. She rolled down her window while she waited for him to make the trip to her car window.
"License and registration, please," said the officer.
Diane began digging through her purse for her driver's license. She quickly handed it to him, not once looking at his face. She leaned over to open her glove compartment to get her registration. As she leaned over, the side slit in her silk, navy skirt slid higher up her thigh, but she didn't notice. She was too nervous.
She dug through the glove compartment, throwing all the contents into the passenger seat. She rifled through the paperwork again, but could not find her registration.
"I'm so sorry ooofffficccer," said Diane. She stuttered the word officer because she finally turned around and looked into the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. They had just enough flecks of gray in them that made her pulse increase.
"I can't find my registration," she said to him. She couldn't look at them eyes anymore so she looked at his chest.
"Officer Moore."
"Ma'am?" Said the officer.
"I didn't realize I said that aloud," apologized Diane. "I was just reading your badge. It's nice and shiny."
"Miss Gordon, I'm going to have to ask you to step out of the car," instructed Officer Moore.
"I know I was speeding, sir, but I'm already late for an interview and I really need this new job," she pleaded. "I'm sure I could send you a copy of my registration as soon as I get back home."
Diane didn't realize that when she turned back around to look at the officer again, her tank sweater slipped off her shoulder, revealing the top of her tanned breast. She was attracted to the officer and was afraid if she stepped out of the car; she might do something she would later regret.
"Ma'am, I'm only going to say this one more time, please exit the vehicle," demanded the officer.
Diane obliged. She unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door. As she turned to step out of the car, the heel of one of her new shoes caught on the door facing, causing her to trip and land in the gravel.
"Ouch!" She cried as the gravel dug into her knees and palms.
"Here, let me help you up," offered Officer Moore.
