Chapter 2: A real gentlemen

Mias POV

I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment again. Of course he had to make a s*x joke. Reading these romance novels were helping me learn to flirt a bit, I try to hide my embarrassment,

“Ya.. a bit too fast if you ask me. You didn’t even wait for me to be prepared just flew on in.” I say smirking, rolling my eyes playfully.

He gives me a big smile,

“Next time I’ll make sure your prepared I apologize I was just too excited.” He immediately answers me as if he knew what I would say.

I try to put my attention towards the truck before this conversation gets very awkward quickly.

I pop open the hood going through everything thoroughly, I see Adam eyeing each of my movements, he has a big lifted truck so to reach anything further I need to literally climb his truck. I am leaning over the front, ass sticking up trying to reach the back as I feel two hands on each of my hips.

I look back and I see him standing behind me holding on to my hips, my ass literally in his face.

“My mother would never forgive me if you fell or got hurt. Just trying to be a gentleman.” He says giving me a wink.

Two can play this game, I look back at him fluttering my eyelashes biting down on my bottom lip. I see his jaw clench as he watches me bent over the front of his truck, ass in his face giving him f**k me eyes.

“I need to reach a bit further, do you mind boosting me.” I say innocently.

I knew the way I was up here the only way he could boost me is to push up on my ass. He goes to touch me and pulls away and begins looking around. I see a lot of eyes on us, Darlene, Kurt and the ones who burn through me most are my fathers.

I immediately climb down and give him a playful smile, then go over to the side and climb his monster tire to reach.

I can see the wicked look in his eyes as I was caught, I definitely did not need to reach up that way I was trying to get his attention and he knew it.

Everything looked good here, I climb down and got the hoist ready. I look over and see there is a ladder near the controls, I look around and see Kurts eyes nodding towards it.

I always assumed Kurt had a crush on me but he always treated me like a little sister then he would flirt with me. I guess it was awkward having the bosses daughter work with you.

I was amused by Adam’s cringe as his truck was being lifted up I swear I could see his heart pounding under his shirt. I looked him over, this man was so handsome. He had black hair and chocolate brown eyes, he was tall about 6 foot tall and had bulging muscles. He was dressed like he was heading to the beach.

Our eyes meet I give him a small smile and head under his truck. Everything looked mint under here also. I was a bit puzzled fidgeting with everything looking for something loose.

“What sort of sound is she making?” I ask.

I see his amusement as I think over my question, again why does everything always sound so dirty.

This time he doesn’t joke around, I see him eyeing everyone around us uncomfortably and that’s when I notice several eyes still on us.

“Like something tapping, I don’t know how about we go for a drive and I show you.” He asks.

It wasn't uncommon to take vehicles for test drives but more uncommon to have the customers come along.

I nod, and we get ready to leave he insists on driving, saying he is the only one who drives his baby. After a bit of back and forth arguing I let it go and get into the passenger seat. He roars the engine, I don’t hear anything, the music starts to blare out incredibly loud. I immediately shut it off, he looks at me and pouts,

“Party pooper!”

I roll my eyes and he begins to drive, I hear an odd sound my eyes begin searching for the location. I realize it’s in the truck and I immediately begin laughing.

“You can pull over.” I say.

“Well that wasn’t much of a ride we barely made it out of the parking lot! My reputation will be shunned to hear I only took you for a second long ride.” He tries to make more dirty jokes.

I get out of the truck and open the back door searching, his truck was relatively clean. I look through the doors and then under the seat I spot it. He had a few travel mugs I grab them and start hitting them together with a large smile.

He looked at me with disbelief, and I see the embarrassment creep up on his face. He doesn’t say anything, not even a thank you. I shut the back door and walk over to the driver’s side trying to ease the mood,

“Adam the next time you want to see me you know you can just stop by no need to make an excuse.” I give him a small smile and wave as I walk back to the shop.

I hear his engine roar loudly out of the parking lot, I head to reception. I need to hurry up if I want to be out of here at a reasonable time tonight although I rarely ever am.

I walk into the reception and I see Darlene eyeing me,

“So Mia, was it the bearings?” she asks

I smile, and I can’t hold the laughter back as I shake my head,

“Nope two travel mugs hitting each other!” I try to spit out without laughing.

Her cheeks turn red and she shakes it off joining into my laughter.

“That boy doesn’t have a mechanical bone in his body I tell you Mia. He can’t even change a tire!” she says.

I go to reach for the next customers keys eyeing the work order, breaks and rotors.

Darlene eyes me curiously,

“Mia, do you have a thing for my son?” she asks.

I look at her with wide eyes shaking my head.

She smiles,

“Good dear, cause you can do so much better! I love my boy but he’s a trouble maker I tell you. He would break your heart dear then I’d have to break his legs!” she says giving me a smile.

“There will be no heartbreaking here, don’t worry!” I say smiling to her.

I head back to the shop and continuously working on job after job. With the odd remark and look from Kurt through the day, the day passes quickly.

I don’t realize how late it is until Darlene heads in and says bye to us letting us know our next jobs are on her desk.

Kurt isn’t long done after she leaves and that just leaves me and my father. The man was a workaholic, but this is how he became so successful. He would take on double duties and the biggest jobs while me and Kurt would do the easier and quicker jobs.

I was done everything while I glance over at him, he’s got a engine completely taken apart. He sees my eyes look over to him,

“This is Miss Harding’s engine, it went a few days ago and she can’t afford a new one or new vehicle so I’m hoping it can be a cheap fix.

Do you want to help me?”

He says eyes full of excitement, my dad loved his job. And he liked it even more when I joined him in these jobs. I nod immediately as I get my hands in there.

We have taken the engine completely apart and luckily it was a quick and easy fix, then it came to rebuilding the engine. I was always amazed at how my father knew where every bolt and piece went. Me on the other hand would have a diagram and still managed to mess it up.

It was early morning when we finally finished and had reinstalled it in the car. My father jumped into the driver’s seat and started it up, and I can see the huge smile on his face when it ran no issues.

“I have my last job to finish, you should head home though and get some sleep. I’ll see you in the morning.” He says looking up at me as he’s reading through the next work order.

I nod, I was exhausted. I never could understand how my dad was able to stay up so late and be back early in the morning I always wanted him to calm down a bit but I feared if he stopped it would be the death of him.

I jumped in my jeep and head home with only sleep on my mind when I notice Adams truck on the side of the road and he’s sitting beside he’s flat tire looking at his phone.
