FLY WITH ME
This is Tiffany’s story, who receives a call from the police one morning forcing her to deal with a chapter from her past, which she is unhappy to revisit. When she calls her friend Dylan, it’s Mat from New Zealand she ends up talking to.
This is still a WIP, so critique away. It’s set
partly in Melbourne, Australia, and in New Zealand.
Thanks … and enjoy 🙂
The GPS voice in Matiu Apanui’s car had as little of a clue as he did about the directions how to get to his meeting place and after only half an hour he was still on the western side of Melbourne instead of in the city. The explanation was as simple as Tiffany was on his mind. He replayed the phone conversation repeatedly in his head. It was clear to him something must’ve upset her. Even though she’d relaxed during their short conversation, he’d been able to sense the tension in her voice.
“Shit,” he shouted as he pressed the speed dial button on his phone, remembering he’d never left a note for his friend.
“Mate, where are you?” Dylan asked by way of answering.
“I have no idea. Near a big park. Looks pretty with the tree alongside the walking tracks. Had no idea Melbourne had all these deciduous trees—”
“Mat!”
“The lovely GPS lady took me on a tourist tour first it seems. I’m considering stopping for a coffee and reboot her at the same time.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
Mat noticed the frustration in his friend’s voice and asked bluntly, “Tell me about your girlfriend.”
Thanks for all your comments,
I do appreciate each single one of them!

Shouldn’t he pass on the message about Tiffany?” He seems to be beating about the bush – literally lost!
Men … easily side-tracked 😉
Interesting side trip he went on…I enjoyed the excerpt.
Thank you, Veornica !
Ha! GPS tourist routes…gotta love em.
The older ones did that quite often … i speak of experience … LOL
Why the abrupt question about the girlfriend? You’ve got me wondering.
Not sure whether I can reply it straight forward – but here it goes … Men … different way of thinking 😉
Heh, the dreaded GPS stuff-up.
Mine would tell me I live in a paddock. I know I’m rural, but come on.
Hahahah …. dittto here 🙂
I’ve been on those lovely GPS tours. lol Great scene. I’m wondering why the sudden change of subject about Tiffany though. 🙂
Thanks Karen … we’ll find out soon 😉
LOL Must be pretty bad if the GPS is lost too. Maybe he should try the old fashioned method of asking for directions?
Melbourne is one tricky place to get around … at least for me 😉 Thanks PT
