The cab
Adam looked at his reflection in the rearview mirrior, noticing the gray at his temples and the grizzly-like fuzz on his face, "damn, I need to shave" he said to no one in particular.
"Taxi!" the jimmy choo wearing chanel bag holding young woman yelled at the top off her lungs. Her brown hair let loose in medium waves; her chic outfit straight out of vogue. She was ready for a night out, and her best friend forever Cara didn't want to drive her Mercedes out because of the snow. She took this opportunity as a chance to have a little adventure and ride a cab.
"Another dumb rich girl in this car and I swear I'll..." He stopped, realizing it had been a slow nite, and he was close to falling asleep out of shear boredom. His girlfriend kept whining about some shoes she had wanted for christmas, and it was nearing the middle of December and he was no where near his $300 goal.
"Where to?" his words slurred and he struggled to keep his hazel-green eyes open. His eyes were beautiful actually, but his eyelids were drooping with exhaustion.
"upper east side" she spoke to him in the same voice a butterfly would speak to a cocharoach in
"Yes, ma'm" he replied
The moody, forty something year old took out a marloboro red and asked the saks fifth ave. mannequin if he could smoke;It was common courtesy.
"So, you're telling me that she wore a monnogrammed louis vuitton bag? Are you kidding? That is repulsive, I would much rather wear a plastic bag from the nearest wal*mart than do that! hahahaha, did you hear about Sophia what a total...
"CAN I SMOKE I SAID!" he really needed it, whatever she was about to pay him was not worth the mindless chatter of a woman who spends her father's money on little luxuries to impress her equally stupid friends
"okay, like I care" she responded.
He mocked her high pitched voice to himself, and his mind wandered. He wondered if his wife were waiting up for him tonight, or if she was at home. He had suspicions of her cheating, but had no motive to spy, what if he had gotten caught? It was not worth the risk, she had an amazing body and he was getting old. He was sure they would have beautiful children, if they would get married.
"Here's your stop, kid It'll be 35 bucks" he told her.
"oh, uh. Here's a fifty by yourself some coffee to keep you awake, you look terrible. Make sure not to fall asleep at the wheel, with your good looks I can only assume that you have some girl waiting for you at home"
Her benevolence shocked him naturally, he regreted what he had initially thought about her. Up until, he saw a man standing waiting for a cab, and remembered what he had to do, to buy his girlfriend those shoes
