It's Not You, It's Them. Portia MacIntoshЧитать онлайн книгу.
‘What’s happening?’ I ask, rubbing my chest under my seatbelt. That’s the thing about boobs and seatbelts; the seatbelt doesn’t stay over your chest so you have to decide between putting it under or over them. I opted for over.
‘I was pulling into the service station when this lorry driver pulled out in front of me. We nearly crashed – it’s a good job my brakes work.’
We pull into the service station safe and sound.
‘There’s the prick who nearly made us crash,’ Mark points out, as a man hops out of a lorry not too far from us in the car park.
Maybe it’s because I’m anxious, stressed or just pissed off, but before I know what I’m doing, I’m getting out of the car and marching over there.
‘Roxie, what are you doing? Come back,’ Mark calls after me, but I’m too far gone. I march over to the bright-yellow lorry. On the side of it the name ‘Starr Haul’ is printed in huge black letters, so I take out my phone and begin googling it to try and get a number to call up so I can report this reckless driver to them.
‘Oi, what are you doing?’ the driver calls out, having glanced back just in time to see me making a note of his registration number.
‘I’m reporting you,’ I inform him. ‘You could’ve killed us.’
‘Could I fuck,’ he snaps. ‘Get on yer way.’
‘What’s your name?’ I ask him.
‘I’m nae telling you,’ he replies firmly in his strong Glaswegian accent. ‘Here you, Jimmy. You want tae control yer lassie.’
Mark takes me by the arm and whispers into my ear: ‘Look, I only understood maybe every fourth word of what he just said but I can tell he’s mad, so let’s just go.’
I shrug him off. As I peer around the front of the lorry, I can see that the driver has a number plate in his window with his name on: Tommy.
‘Tommy, is it?’ I say victoriously. ‘Jog on, mate. I’ve got all I need to report you.’
