Book One: The Pink Cadillac - Chapter 3 - The Pink Cadillac

Five days later, at around 10:00 a.m., Scarlett walked into the city’s premier sex shop ‘Purple Desire’ to purchase a dildo for herself. Officer Theo was patrolling on his bike almost three miles away in a remote area of the city at the same time. Scarlett’s eyes were darting around the shelves when an Asian girl approached her.

“Good morning, ma’am. My name is Maria. I am the shop attendant. How can I assist you?”

Scarlett smiled and said that she was seeking an excellent sex toy. “Sure, ma’am,” said the girl. “We have representational dildos here on the upper shelf and vibrating ones here on the lower shelf. But if you want double-ended or strap-on, you’ll have to go to the other side of the store. Which one do you think you’ll prefer, ma’am?” The girl locked her gaze on Scarlett.

Scarlett wasn’t sure which one she preferred. She was also perplexed as to why she required one when she already had a boyfriend. She had been on her way to the market to get some groceries when she was drawn here by some strange desire.

Maria realized her customer required some time to make a decision, so she left Scarlett alone and went to the counter. Scarlett walked around the store, looking at various types of toys. Some were made of silicon, while others were made of glass. Scarlett examined the various shapes and sizes of the toys but couldn’t decide which one to purchase. Her phone rang while she was in a state of confusion. She thought it was Victor. But it was Officer Theo.

Officer Theo was patrolling when he noticed a pink Cadillac parked on the side of the road. He came to a halt, took his diary from his pocket and matched the number. It was the stolen car. He immediately took out his phone and dialed Scarlett’s number. Scarlett picked up her phone. “Good morning, ma’am,” Theo said. “This is Officer Theodore. I’ve got some very good news for you.” Scarlett inquired as to what it was. “I’ve just found your stolen car outside the city,” Theo said. “The thief must be close by. I’m confident I’ll catch him soon.”

Scarlett inquired about his location and stated that she would be there shortly. Scarlett noticed a change in herself after speaking with Officer Theo. That strange desire that compelled her to enter the sex shop vanished. She had lost all interest in the toys she was planning to purchase. She had no idea why this had happened. Was it because of the information Officer Theo shared with her? She quickly realized that it was not the news she had received. But it was the voice on the phone that sparked the change. Her steps were quick, and she was soon out of the shop.

Scarlett arrived at the location in a cab after ten minutes, and they both hid in the nearby bush while waiting for the thief. After a few moments, a lovely young black lady wearing blue denim jeans and a white top arrived and unlocked the car. But before she could sit in the car and drive away, Theo appeared from the bush, pulled out his revolver, and asked the lady to surrender. Scarlett emerged from the bush and took a position behind Theo. From behind, she noticed his broad shoulders and nice ass. Theo was surprised to see the thief because she was his ex-girlfriend, Paulina. The thief also recognized the cop and exclaimed, “So now you’re going to shoot me. I’ve always suspected you didn’t like me. You were always looking for reasons to end our relationship.”

“No, babe, I still miss you a lot,” Theo replied. “You were the one who abandoned me.”

Scarlett was taken aback when she overheard their conversation. She was at a loss for words. The situation there quickly became tense.

“But why did you steal the car?” Theo inquired of Paulina. “It’s a crime. And you have an excellent job.”

“After the break-up, I was unable to concentrate on work, made numerous mistakes and was consequently fired,” Paulina responded. “Now I have to steal things to make ends meet.”

“But why did you break up with me if you were so much in love with me?” Theo inquired. “Then you changed your contact number and moved somewhere else, making it impossible for me to find you.”

“It happened because of that filthy demand of yours,” Paulina answered.

“But it wasn’t a filthy demand,” Theo clarified. “It was a fairly common request.”

Scarlett wondered what the demand they were talking about was. Both of them kept blaming one another until Scarlett stepped in and said, “Excuse me. Will you please hand over the car keys to me? I’m sick of your drama. I have to leave.”

Paulina tossed the car keys at Scarlett and shouted, “I’d rather be starved to death than fucked in the ass.”

Scarlett snatched the keys and burst out laughing, “So that was the filthy demand. Oh my goodness. You people are insane. You two split up because of this minor squabble? I’m surprised.”

“Listen, you got your car, now you must leave,” Paulina said. “It’s been a particularly bad day for me. Please don’t make fun of me.”

“I am not laughing at any of you,” Scarlett remarked. “I’m just curious why you denied it when your man demanded anal sex from you. It’s absolutely hilarious. Have you ever tried it? It’s a lot of fun.”

“I’ve read about it, and I know that unnatural sex is a sin,” Paulina said. “And it’s excruciatingly painful with that big cock of his. So I’ll never do it. (Scarlett’s eyes sparkled when she heard ‘big cock’.) And I request you to stay away from this matter and mind your own business. I don’t need your wise counsel.”

“All right,” Scarlett said. “I finally got my car. However, theft is theft. I want this girl to be held accountable for her actions. Are you going to detain her, Officer?”

Theo was now nervous because he didn’t want his girlfriend to be detained. He attempted to resolve the situation by asking Scarlett to withdraw her complaint. Scarlett, on the other hand, stated that she would only do it on one condition. Theo inquired as to what it was. Scarlett stated that she would discuss it later. But first of all, they must both accept her invitation to dinner. They both saw no harm in accepting the invitation.

Scarlett sat in her car, about to put the keys in the ignition when she noticed Paulina had changed the keychain. It was a keychain bracelet. She assumed Paulina was inattentive and was concerned that she would misplace the keys. She recalled Paulina saying that after their break-up, she was unable to concentrate on her work. She smiled as she slipped the bracelet on her wrist.
