Buck

If I was concerned about the truck before, I’m not now. Vickie drives slow as shit. Seriously, she’s like a damned turtle. She won’t wreck anything, but I’m becoming concerned she’ll get pulled over for driving like a grandma.

“Vic, baby, you can punch the gas more.”

Her hands are clenched at ten and two, knuckles white. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her brown eyes so wide, darting back and forth as she stares in terror through the windshield. “Buck, can’t you just drive me? I don’t even have a license, and my meeting is in another hour!”

Her panic fills the cab, tinging the air with the smell of it. But I’m not worried. In the end, as much as I love this truck, it’s just a truck. It’s the little lady in the driver’s seat that I care about. “You gotta learn, Free Bird, if you’re ever going to leave the nest.” I’m joking, but her face twists and oh, fuck me, tears start rolling down Vickie’s creamy cheeks. She’s still driving and the truck’s starting to weave-- “For fuck’s sake, put the truck in park if you’re gonna cry!”

She does, then she completely crumbles. Her arms are crossed over the wheel and her face is buried in them. I’m just sitting here, the asshole who made her cry. I rub at my face hard, feeling the whiskers bite at my palm. If I don’t shave soon I’ll look like Shep. “What’s going on, Vickie?” Maybe I’ve pushed her too hard. I’ve been driving since I was thirteen. Shep and I snuck out one night and took his grandma’s Buick for a spin. She tanned our asses good the next day, then taught us both how to drive the weekend after.

Guilt builds in me and I put a hand on her thigh. It says something that I’m touching those lush legs and not hard. The concern is greater than my own desires, and that’s a new experience for me.

She sniffles and takes my hand in hers, lacing our fingers together. “Buck… what if I don’t want to fly away? What if I want to stay with you and Shep forever? Let you take care of me?”

Oh, shit. That gets me in my emotions, hard. It’s something I know Shep and I have each been wanting, but not something we could say out loud and mean it. After all, Vickie’s just eighteen. How long could she be happy being our girlfriend if we kept her hidden in the trailer? And there’s our dreams as well. How much of that have we shelved while lost in this love that’s been consuming us?

Turning in my seat, I stare into her eyes. Her blond hair is brilliant in the sunlight, almost white. How did I ever end up with such a pretty girl? And smart, too. She’s been at the books, voracious in a way that makes me jealous. I never could stand reading long enough to walk away a smarter man. “Vickie, we want nothing more than to have you in our lives forever.
