Meems & The Fireman .... The New Car 8/29/07 03:06 "Oh why does it have to be raining so hard?" Melanie asked herself for the hundredth time that morning. "If I didn't know better, I'ed swear the angels left the water hose running!!!" Melanie, better known as Meems to her friends, had scrimped and saved and finally had enough to put down on her very first brand new car, a sporty Pontiac G-6, gold in color, with all the whistles and bells. She had even ordered personalized plates *Nwty Meems*. How they had all laughed, saying it was the perfect plate for her. Now here it was, less than a week later, her brand new baby was getting all wet!!! Sighing, It wasn't like it would hurt it or anything...heck might even wash what little dirt that might be on it away and besides, her dad needed a ride to his Doctors appointment that morning. Glancing over at him, smiling, as he sat in the passenger's seat. He had just told her how much he liked the ride and the feel of the car. As the wipers flew, trying desperately to keep up with the downpour, she wished again that the sun would pop it's head out, needing it's bright rays on an otherwise gray, gloomy day. No sooner had she had that thought, when ...wwwwwooooooooooooosssssssssshhhhhhhh ...water coming from everywhere!!!! Up over the car, all around it..... Water.... Water everywhere!!!! Coming to a dead stop, wondering for just a moment, what just happened... Looking over, checking to make sure her Dad was OK, then opening the door of the car....... WATER!!! pouring inside... jumping out and closing the door quickly....shouting to her father to stay put, don't open the door, as she grabbed her cell phone to call 911. Wading through 2 foot of water wasn't exactly an easy task, not to mention the rain as it beat down upon her... frantic because her dad was trapped in the car with the water rising. Hearing the telltale sound of sirens in the distance, Meems shouted to her dad, trying to keep him calm as a pumper truck and a small army of firemen pulled up. As soon as she seen the men jump out of the truck, Meems had no doubt who they were. James' men!!! Shoot!!! Deftly going into the high water and without much fanfare, the men quickly pushed the car out of the rising tide that was still descending in droves all around them. Getting her dad safely to higher ground was apparently their highest priority. Once the vehicle was in a safer place and her dad had exited the car, knowing he was OK, she gulped in large quantities of air, not ever realizing she had been holding her breath. Running over to where he was, checking for herself, making sure he was well. Feeling a strong hand on her shoulder, Meens cringed. She knew who the hand belonged to. Leaning back, pressing herself against the roughness of the Fireman's coat, feeling the hard body that lay beneath, with out a doubt she knew it was James. Not even caring, she turned and buried her face into his jacket, his arms automatically going around her, "Meems, honey, are you OK? James asked, the concern in voice real. Nodding her head, "Yes am fine, thank you, oh thank you for getting my dad!!!" Cupping her chin in one of his strong hands, he lifted her head, looking into her eyes. "You know better than to drive into standing water, what where you thinking?" Shrugging her shoulder, Meems just stood here in his embrace, feeling his strength, his warmth. "I..I..didn't see it James, honest. The rain, it was coming down so hard..who knew that the road would flood." was about all she could squeak out before her body started trembling. "Lets get your dad and you home, We will talk about this later." "What about my car?" My poor NEW car?" "You'll have to call the insurance company, hopefully it won't be too bad." After making sure his passenger's where safely tucked away in his command vehicle, James walked over, letting his second know where he was going, then climbed into his truck. Taking her dad home first, waiting until he was settled, then proceeding onto Meems little cottage. "I want you to go in and go right into a hot shower, I'll be back after my shift so we can have a little discussion on proper driving habits." Kissing her, she jumped outta his truck, almost running to her door. Several hours later, James walked in, tossing his gear in the front closet. They had started living together...again, right after the Holiday turkey incident. Shaking his head, he walked down the hall, finding her curled up on their bed, her arms wrapped around an old stuffed bear. Sitting down on the bed, his movement jarring her to semi wakefulness,she sought out his lap, curling her self onto it. Looking down into her angelistic face, he could make out the tracks of tears on her cheeks. "My car is ruined. The engine is blown." she said softly. "I'm sorry honey, I know how much you wanted that car." "Your going to spank me, aren't you?" "Yes baby, I am." "Why?" "Why? Your asking me why? Maybe because you took a foolish chance today. Maybe because you could of gotten yourself and your dad in alot more serous trouble or even killed because you weren't paying attention. The car can be fixed, but if I ever lost you..." His lips descended to press against hers in a passion inflamed kiss. Oh how she wanted that kiss. A kiss that could last a life time. Breaking the kiss, he picked her up and placed her over his knee, lifting the hem of her night dress. Meems knew she should fight, but in her heart, she knew she he was right, knew she deserved to be punished. Closing her eyes tightly, she felt the coolness of the room upon her bare skin, right before the first swat landed. It didn't take to many before she was squirming over his muscled thigh. Soon her bottom was the color of ripe cherries, her body limp over his lap, as she tried in vein to stop the flow of the tears. Her bottom scorched, her heart lighter. As he lay ed back, James pulled a tearful Meems with him back on the bed... Her body laying atop his as he held her to his chest. "Don't ever do such a foolish thing again," he told her in the sternest voice her could muster. "I won't!" she promised. And you know what? she didn't!
