Driving

Not that I need it, but Alice volunteers to be the designated driver.

As she takes my car keys under the dim street light, I take her thin waist in my hands and bring her close. I bend over slightly as she gets on the tips of her toes. Our lips quickly meet as she drapes her hands over my neck and back. I have to fight the urge to palm her ass with my hands in public and settle instead on squeezing her waist a little tighter as I bring her in closer.

She gracefully pulls away with a beautiful smile on her face. We then get in the car, and she begins to drive us away. Typically, I have one hand on the steering wheel and another on Alice's left thigh or in her grasp when I'm in the driver's seat. Since she is driving, she uses both hands to operate the vehicle like a responsible adult.

"You have fun tonight, babe?"

"Yes. It is nice to see everybody in the last few times before they all go to college. And you know… I like laying on you."

The drive goes smooth for a while, but then I realize I need to strategize. How am I going to tell Alice how I feel? There must be some set up I have to do. I probably should have thought this through more beforehand. It's been two years. Do I need to give her a gift or something first? Can I just tell her next time after we have sex? I'm overthinking things. I should just tell her now; it's about time.

Alice stops at a four-way intersection safeguarded by 4 separate stop signs.

"Hey, Babe…"

"Yea?" she says as she leans forward, looks to both the left and the right of the intersection, and begins to accelerate the car forwards.

Before I continue, my words are cut off by a light in the distance approaching from my passenger side at what looks like a very high speed. Before Alice can clear the oncoming road fully, the car comes blazing through the intersection without stopping.

"Look out!" I yell as I move my body to cover Alice as best I can. The oncoming car collides with us right behind the passenger rear side door causing us to tailspin violently into a ditch while the airbags inflate.

I cannot tell exactly where I am, but I have a hard time moving my head and body. Before I know it, I find myself dazing in and out of consciousness.

I feel time pass, and no longer recognize my surroundings. I try to lift my head, but it doesn't move. All I can do is slightly open my eyes. Blaring red, blue, and white blinking lights occupy my entire vision. Then I hear the faint scream of a girl in my ears. Finally, I pass out.
