"The Mechanics should be coming by soon," Jessica announced peering impatiently outside the café window. The Mechanics Jessica is referring to would be the three men that work at Mason's Mechanics.
We've known Jacob Black, the third mechanic - the boy who grew up in La Push, and whose parents were best friends with mine – for years. We saw him through his awkward phase, and even through the phase where he thought he was in love with me. Jasper Whitlock, the second mechanic just moved into this small town a year ago. He went to college in Seattle University, and somehow after college found his way down here. He was a southern boy with one hell of a drawl, and for the most part he was also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Emmett McCarthy the first mechanic moved here a few months ago. He claimed he needed a break from the big city, and since he knows Mr. Mason – the owner of the shop – personally he had a spot for him the moment he said he needed a place to go.
I'm still on the fence about him knowing Mr. Mason personally. That shop has been open about as long as I've been alive and Mr. Mason does not seem like the kind of man to have many friends. Besides, Mr. Mason is at least twenty years older than Emmett is.
I gave a chuckle at Jessica, who was still staring out the window. Jessica - while she might be married with kids - she thinks the mechanics are the best thing to have ever graced this place. She's even grown to like Jake, someone she used to loath because she thought he was nothing more than the Player of La Push – eventually he made his reputation as the Player of Forks. Underneath all that, she realized he is a decent guy. He's still not someone Jessica would go out of her way to help.
"Jessica, they've got a full load today," I pointed at all the cars in the garage, including mine. "Besides, Mr. Mason decided to show up today." Jessica gave a small little pout slowly wondering away from the counter. "You know the drill, the usual for all of them and I'll bring it over. I need to ask about my baby anyway." Jessica somewhat rolled her eyes writing the order we all had memorized on the notepad sending it back to the kitchen.
"Your baby is a little beater. That car costs more to fix than it's really worth." Jessica glanced at the clock and then to the door. Not only was she waiting for The Mechanics, who weren't coming in today, she was waiting for Mike to stop by on his lunch like he did every day. Mike & Jessica, are disgustingly cute. It makes me want to puke 90% of the time.
The two have been seeing each other since high school. Right out of high school Mike proposed, Jessica got pregnant with her first child, Mike got a job at some sports shop, they bought a house, Jessica went into labor, they had Lindsay, then a year later they decided to finally have their dream wedding. They're the kind of couple everyone knew was going to last.
"Don't diss the bug," I mumbled grabbing the boxes of food. "I'm going to drop this stuff off," Jessica nodded her head as I walked out of the café making my way across the street.
Forks, Washington, a town where everybody knows everybody, a town where secrets are hard to keep, and friends are hard to lose. You've known the same people for years, and welcome new comers with open arms. This small, dingy, cloud covered town is home. Most people want to run straight to Seattle as soon as they graduate and so did I. I ran to Seattle, followed a boy, got an apartment, and a job as a cashier at a grocery store. I couldn't have been more miserable. Six months later I ran back home, told Charlie I needed a place to stay, enrolled in the community college, got a job as a waitress, and got my own small apartment. I'm not sure if Forks is where I want t spend the rest of my life, but right now I can't imagine another place.
"Hey Bella," Tanya said shortly. Tanya was the girl that got hired to sit behind the desk and do all the paperwork. "I'll tell one of the boys you're here with gifts." She gave a little wink. She didn't grow up here; she came into town about the same time Emmett did instantly getting the job. Tanya and I didn't have a problem with each other, but we also didn't know each other. "It's something the girls at the café across the street do," I heard Tanya explaining, "they bring over food for the boys so they get a lunch incase they don't have time to take a lunch. It's very sweet," she opened the door that read employee's only coming out with Mr. Mason and a man I'd never laid eyes on before.
"Hello, Mr. Mason." Mr. Mason gave a light smile pointing to the phone and walking into the office leaving me with the mystery man. He was tall – I'd say about 6'0 give or take an inch – brown bed head hair, emerald eyes, and looked like sex on legs. I licked my lips glancing him up and down. He wore a pair of old faded blue jeans, a loose fitting white tank with grease stains covering it, and those arms – dear Lord, those arms.
"What café is she talking about?" He questioned taking the food from my hands motioning for me to follow him. "Just the one right there?" He glanced back at me watching me shake my head as I walked into the garage seeing Jake underneath a car. "Alright, I'm going to grab some grub. Be back," he called setting down the food and running across the street.
"Jesus Christ," I breathed out watching him run away.
"You're starting to drool, Darlin'," Jasper announced giving a chuckle taking out the food. I recovered my self turning to face Jasper. He was covered in grease.
"How's my baby?" Jasper rolled his eyes.
"You're baby is a pain in my ass, but it'll be pretty well fixed by the time you're off work. You need a tune up, and new tires though." Jasper took a bite of his burger getting ketchup on the side of his face.
"Just get it to run. I'll get it in for all that other crap soon." I walked over and kicked Jake's foot. "Jessica's barbeque is this afternoon she told me to invite all of you. It's Lindsay's birthday so if you don't come I'm going to personally kick all of your butts." I gave a devilish smile.
"Want us to bring Edward too?" Jasper wiggled his eyebrows. I smacked him in the chest. "Ouch! We'll make sure to bring him!" He yelled as I turned to walk away. I jogged back to the café seeing Jessica talk to the new mechanic – Edward.
"How's your baby?" Jessica questioned seeing me walk through the door. I grabbed the salt and peppershakers bringing them over to the bar to refill them.
"It'll be done by the time I get off. Jasper, Emmett, and Jake are all coming to the barbeque, they said they're gonna drag you as well." I nodded to Edward giving him a heads up.
"Oh you have to come. You're new in town and the entire town is coming. You'll get to meet everyone. It's my daughters birthday you know?" Jessica gave him a smile. Edward shrugged his shoulders grabbing the bag of food and handing her a 20.
"I'll see if I can make it. Carlisle needs to show me how to run the shop. Keep the change." He said before walking off. Jessica and I both watched him walk away.
"Holy hell," Jessica said as soon as he was out of earshot.
"Sex on legs," I agreed mindlessly filling the salt and peppershakers. "Did you see those lips?" Jessica fanned herself dramatically.
"Let me tell you if I wasn't happily married…" she left the thought unfinished. She didn't need to finish the thought because I knew what she was thinking. If she wasn't happily married he would be on her list. Mike walked into the café making all conversation about the hot mechanics disappear. Jessica didn't have anything to hide, but she wasn't about to talk about other men she found fuckable in front of her husband.
A/N: So, I specifyed the ages at the beginning because while I was rereading this I found myself a bit confused on how old everyone in the story is. Not all the characters were introduced in this chapter, I'm just giving you the ages of all the characters that will be in this story. I'm sorry if that confused you at all. I plan on updating at least once a week. Anyways, let me know what you think! Leave a review. Follw/favorite the story if you liked it.
