A Taxi Ri<strong>de</strong><br />

I waved goodbye to my friends and I left the building smiling.<br />

It was 3:13 AM on the 27 th of September and I finally <strong>de</strong>ci<strong>de</strong>d to call it a<br />

day and return home from my best friend’s birthday party. It was chilly outsi<strong>de</strong>,<br />

but I live in Miami, so freezing was never a problem. Although it was late, I<br />

wasn’t worried about arriving<br />

home. I took my phone out of my<br />

purse and opened Über<br />

before placing a pick-up<br />

request. A few seconds later I got a notification from<br />

a guy named Zach who<br />

away from me, saying<br />

accepted the request and<br />

was only a few minutes<br />

that he could pick me up. I<br />

waited.<br />

After about three minutes I saw a silver<br />

Merce<strong>de</strong>s pull up in front of the club. I got a<br />

notification from Über shortly after saying that<br />

my driver had arrived. I walked over to car and<br />

noticed that the guy in the<br />

driver’s seat was scrolling<br />

through the app. I slowly opened the door to the<br />

passenger’s seat and asked him<br />

and told me that he was. I got<br />

what my <strong>de</strong>stination was. I<br />

since I had already put my<br />

access to it. I figured that he<br />

check so I repeated it for me.<br />

house I managed to have a<br />

young, handsome guy who<br />

had strong features, a sharp<br />

that complimented his chestnut<br />

black un<strong>de</strong>rcut that ma<strong>de</strong> his<br />

couple of minutes into the ri<strong>de</strong><br />

have a few drinks at the party,<br />

dizzy state. My apartment was<br />

if he was my driver. He smiled<br />

into the car and he asked me<br />

found his question a bit wired<br />

address in the app, so he had full<br />

just forgot and he was too lazy to<br />

As he started driving back to my<br />

clear look of his face. He was a<br />

was probably in his mid 20s. He<br />

jaw line and think black eyebrows<br />

colored eyes. He was sporting a<br />

presence even more intimidating. A<br />

my eyes started to feel heavy. I did<br />

so I did blame the alcohol for my<br />

about 15 minutes away, so I<br />

consi<strong>de</strong>red talking a short nap, but I figured it wasn’t the<br />

smartest i<strong>de</strong>a to fall asleep in<br />

keep my eyes opened, Zach<br />

He asked me if I was tired<br />

a stranger’s car. As I was trying to<br />

tried to initiate a conversation.<br />

and I told him I was exhausted. He<br />

told me that he knew a shortcut that would bring me home in less than two<br />

minutes. I contemplated taking that shortcut for a while before giving in. He<br />

turned right and I found myself in a car with a random guy I met heading to who<br />

knows where. I blamed the alcohol for my stupid <strong>de</strong>cision. I took a glance at Zach<br />

and noticed him looking thoughtful, which ma<strong>de</strong> me extremely uneasy.<br />
