Making Wise Decisions

By David O. Sullivan

Strider leaned into his sport motorcycle as he raced along Lawrence Expressway with an expanse of blue sky above, dotted with white cloud puffs. The engine’s vibrations coursed through his body. His girlfriend clamped her arms tight around his waist from behind. Her hand fell onto his groin, squeezing his growing cock. He wondered if they’d have time for a bedroom romp after the ride. He also questioned why he was still with a woman when he certainly preferred men. The dash clock reported five P.M., time for the wedding. As long as he attended the reception, all would be well at work on Monday. He hated weddings and crowds.

The expressway had few cars on the sunny, Sunday afternoon. He twisted the throttle, passing eighty and then ninety miles per hour, grinning at the wind. At the next intersection, a police car’s spinning red and blue lights lit, and the vehicle pulled into the intersection, the officer waving at Strider to pull over.

Strider down-shifted a gear and twisted the throttle open. He tightened his grip to resist the engine’s thrust. They zoomed past the patrol vehicle, with the speedometer reading beyond one hundred miles per hour. The police car pursued, its siren already a distant hum. Adrenaline coursed through Strider, making his heart thud in his chest at the speed and excitement of running.

Damn it, Strider, slow down! Tina lifted her hand from his groin and slapped his shoulder. Slow down.

He lost sight of the police car in his mirror and slowed to the speed limit. At the next intersection, he turned left into a residential area and stopped and reversed his jacket from red to black. Driving like a law-abiding citizen to his apartment, he parked in his carport.

Tina jumped off, jerked the helmet from her head, and slammed it into his gut. You fucking asshole. You could have killed us for your selfish thrills. You need to grow up! You’re twenty-four and not twelve.

He swallowed at the comeuppance and reached to her shoulder. She pulled back. Strider moaned. I’m sorry. I won’t do that again.
