Royalty Gone Bad

Asahd’s POV:

“It’s not that bad, now that it’s clean,” Saïda mused when we were finally done cleaning the car, in and out.

I stared at the car and it looked and smelled less horrible. The paint was still good and the headlights weren’t broken or something.

“It’s still ugly though,” I teased and she laughed.

“Try it. Get in and try it,” she proposed.

“I’m not ready.”

“Hahaha, Asahd you’ll have to drive this tomorrow. Get in and try it. Cmon!”

I stared at the car for a long while. Saïda continuously encouraged me to get in.

“I’ll get in with you, so we drive a little around the neighborhood.”

“You first.”

She rolled her eyes in amusement and got in.

“I’m in. Get in. The air freshener and perfume are doing a great job. Everything’s fine, Asahd.”

“Alright.”

Reluctantly, I went round the car and opened the driver’s door. I felt horrible but had no choice. I got in.

“I’m so uncomfortable right now, Saïda,” I mused, closing the door.

“You’ll get over it. Now start it.”

I put the keys in and started the car. Everything was fine so far. Even the engine sound was okay and yes, the car smelt way better than a few hours ago.

“Let’s roll,” I started the car and we drove off.

We drove round the neighborhood and everything was fine. No odd sounds or problems. The car was sure thing, old school and ugly, to me, but at least it worked.

We returned to the front of our building and I parked.

“You see? It works just fine,” Saïda giggled.
