Grey

cuff me

lastnight i left carly's place shortly after kirsco and apey left and i'd cleaned up the mess we'd left behind.
when i arrived outside my home i looked at the clock. 12am. still early.
so i continued along without stopping. sometime later i ended up at uni - the only place i knew would be open, where i could surf the net, blog and be warm - oh and be close to cookies and hot chocolate from our vending machines :P
i parked in at campus and headed for the door. every mesto was locked, with the security swipers lit. i rummaged in my bag for my security card... think i found it?
nope.
each door was secured. and i was out on my oddyknocky in the cold.
so i got a hot chocolate and a jumbo cookie and climbed back into my car.
I messaged a few people who lived near the city to see if they were home and wanted a visit - since i havnt seen many of them for ages. most didnt even hear the message-tone, and the others were out.
So i peeted my hot chocolate and munched on my cookie and decided the cosmos was telling me to go home.
I turned down the few back streets to get back to the main road, passed a police car in a parking lot, and continued my way.
Soon a car was driving very close behind me. I thought to myself 'geez im goin the speed limit, back off'. Then a few seconds later red and blue lights flashed from his dashboard.
I pulled over, turned off my engine and wound down my window, watching the mirrors.
Nothing happened.
I turned off my lights and opened my door, slowly stepping out - my tired mind thinkint all sorts of things like the policeman was going to burst out of his car with his pistola drawn telling me not another step!!
So i just stood by my car and pretty soon and nice tall strapping young smiling policeman walked up to me and asked for my licence.
I fetched it for him from the front seat as he swung his torchlight thru the windows and checked out the inside of my car. I remember thinking if i'd known a handsome copper was going to be talkin to me, i'd have cleaned it out a bit.
Shaking a teeny bit i gave him my licence.
He asked if i still lived at the address on my card.
I answered yes.
He asked what i was doing in this neighbourhood so late. I felt a bit stupid. What was i supposed to say 'well officer, i was bored and drove to uni to kill time, and no i'm not drunk or stoned by the way, i'm just suffering from a sinus infection.'
Anyway to cut a longer story short, he took my details down, checked my rego, and told me they were stopping everyone 'cos a car had been cruising round the place causing trouble lately - and my car matched the description.
I found the urge to ask 'then why are you stopping everyone??' briefly floating thru my head.
He asked if i'd been stopped or spoken to by a police officer before. I said no - fighting back the addition 'none as nice as you.'
What little things did manage to slip out of my tired mouth made him giggle in a cute way.
He handed back my licence and thanked me, smiling all the time, and wished me a goodnight. He said that other unmarked cars may stop me again as I leave, but he had my details so they'd know he'd spoken to me already.
I said thanks and crawled back into my car, my jellylegs returning slightly, more with relief than anything. then watched him walk back to his car.
At least i was stopped by a spunky policeman.
