Ggggggggg
I got him. He stared at me with his mouth open wide. He seemed to shake himself and my momentary victory was crushed when he smiled back at me "Ohh really? That's perfect. I wouldn't mind if you smiled like that again, too."
I grunted and yelled "Just tell me where to put my clothes!"
He laughed and said "Well hold on, love. Let me finish up here."
I grumbled "Hurry." as my eyes darted around for a place to sit.
He seed to read my mind because he kicked a rusty stool right next to truck.
He motioned to the stool "Come on. I won't bite." and winked at me.
I stayed where I was.
"Suit yourself." and he went back to working on something in the hood.
"Break" bounced off the walls of the shed. I shifted from foot to foot then walked over to the stool. I slid on it and he stopped clattering for a moment then went back to work.
I started to mouth the words while I stared at the wall when he asked me "So where are you and your sister from?"
"Out of town." I mumbled. Creep.
He laughed and turned to look at her. She continued to state at the wall and mouth the words while his gaze scanned up and down her body. Double creep.
He shook his head and went back to tinkering. "I kinda figuered. I would have noticed you around town, with a beauty like yourself." he said.
I rolled my eyes "Well wouldn't you have liked to."
He glanced up at me and said "Wouldn't I?" then he started laughing.
I grumbled a "Sure". I started to sing along with "Seventeen Ain't That Sweet". That's all you could hear. That, and the tinkering of his tools. I was kind of embarrassed but I wanted to show him that I could at least do one thing where he was actual speechless, and he was. He didn't talk throughout the whole song.
"You like Red Jumpsuit?" he asked at the end.
"Yeah. What's it to you." I stuck my chin out.
I saw him shrug "Just heard you singing. It's really beautiful, you know."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." I said "Like I never heard that one before." I flicked my hand in the air to shut him up. I wanted to say, I know it is, but just keep your mouth shut Grace.
He shrugged again "Whaaat everr." he pushed himself off the hood and walked over to the stereo. He switched it off and whirled to face me. He flashed a sexy smile and my heart fluttered. He glided over to me and stopped so close behind me that I could hear his even breathing, like he has done this many times, being close to girls. "You look real beautiful, you know?" he whispered close, lips tickling my ear.
I straightened my back and closed my eyes. "I've heard that one, too." my voice trembled. I triple cursed myself then I said stronger "And it never worked."
I jumped off the stool, gliding over to the edge of the shed. I stuck my head back around the corner, seeing him frozen. "You coming?" I winked and cocked my head. He shook his head and said "With pleasure." and strode toward me, a big smile on his face.
