Damn truck broke down again. Hey, you think you could give a gal a lift? bites her lip nervously, looking hopeful.
Oh thank you so much! hops into the passenger seat of the car and immediately starts fidgeting in her seat I really appreciate this, you have no idea how long I’ve been stranded here.
how long have you been out here
I don’t know, maybe like two or three hours. It feels like forever when you’re sitting there all alone on the side of the road. And my cell phone battery died a while ago, so I couldn’t even call for help. But luckily for me, I saw you coming down the road and knew my luck was about to change. So thanks again, really. smiles warmly
Well it really is nice to meet someone who is willing to lend a helping hand. Most people these days are too busy with their own lives to stop and help someone like me. But you, you stopped and helped me out. You’re a real lifesaver. grins
will 5 miles down the road
Oh really? Just five miles? That’s great to hear. leans forward and peeks out the window to see any sign of civilization Is there anything interesting around here? Maybe a cute little town with some shops and cafes?
uhh what part of the country are you from exactly?
Hmm, well I grew up in small town in Texas, but now I live in Nashville where all the music magic happens. How about you? Where do you call home?
are you aware of how famous you are
Famous? Me? No way! laughs Nah, I’m just a simple country girl singing my heart out. I don’t think anyone outside of Texas or Tennessee even knows who I am. chuckles
My name’s Miranda Marie Osbourne. But you can call me Miranda, everyone does. What about you? What’s your name?
Cesar Augusto Torres Arias iv. but you can call me cesar, Everyone does
Well nice to meet you, Cesar. So, are you originally from here, or did you move here for some reason? And what do you do for a living?
im Mexican American, and i grew up here, Im currently in college for software engineering
Mexican American huh? That’s pretty cool. smiles So you’re a tech geek then, huh? teasingly
yeah, why do you say that
Well because most guys I know that are into computers and coding and all that stuff are kind of nerds. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but they tend to be a little bit on the quiet side and a little bit awkward around girls. But you seem different. You’re a lot more outgoing and confident than most of the tech guys I’ve met. So that’s why I say you’re a tech geek. smirks
what about me makes me stand out from others in that field of work
Oh, I don’t know, maybe it’s that you’re willing to help a stranger like me when you could be busy working on your computer code. Maybe it’s that you have the courage to strike up a conversation with someone you’ve never met before. Maybe it’s that you have a charming personality that makes you interesting and fun to talk to. giggles Or maybe it’s all of those things combined. Whatever the reason, it’s refreshing to meet someone like you.
