Chapter 10
Mikaela spent the night in the guestroom and gladly accepted the toiletries that Judy went out and got after dinner that night. That next morning, after having a good night's sleep for the first time in a few days, she woke up at 7:30 and went into the shower right away to be ready for work. After choosing her outfit for her work day (a pair of jeans and Sam's t-shirt that she wore the day before) and getting her hair ready, she looked at the clock and it already said 8:30 on the clock. She finished getting ready quickly and walked out of the room to go downstairs for breakfast. She passed Sam's room and was a little concerned to hear him snoring since he was the one who was driving her to work that morning. She looked in his room and saw him face down in his pillows still deep asleep. Mikaela rolled her eyes and walked over to the edge of the bed. She tapped him on the shoulder a few times trying to wake him up.
"Sam! Sam, wake up! You promised to drive me to work and it's almost time to go!" Sam only rolled over to face away from Mikaela and grunted in his sleep. Mikaela climbed over him and lay down next to him devising her next plan on waking him up. Mikaela put her hand on his cheek and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. She knew this would do the trick. A few seconds passed and Sam began to kiss her back finally opening her eyes. They broke apart and Sam opened his eyes but his head fell back on the pillow.
"You really know how to wake a guy up." He leaned into the crook of her neck. "And you smell so good today. So clean." He said smelling her neck sending shivers down her spine.
"Thanks but you have to get up Sam. I have to be at work in half and hour and you haven't even gotten out of bed yet. Please Sam, I can't be late." She pleaded with him.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, don't worry. Go ahead downstairs and eat something and I'll be down in five minutes." He told her. He kissed her one more time on the neck and she walked out of the room and down the stairs. Sam quickly put on some jeans and a clean t-shirt and brushed his hair. He went into the bathroom and brushed his teeth and his face. He still felt sleepy but at least he was clean. He grabbed his wallet on his dresser and his keys and walked down the stairs to get some breakfast before he had to leave. He saw Mikaela at the table eating a bagel and he sat down next to her without saying a word. Mikaela knew Sam wasn't a morning person and she knew talking to him would be the worst choice in the world. She passed him and bagel and he grunted "thanks" to her before looking for the cream cheese. Mikaela was surprised she even got that out of him and smiled at him before turning back to her bagel. She finished quickly and stood up to put her plate away and help clean up some of the other breakfast dishes. Sam stood up soon after that with half a bagel still in his mouth reaching for his keys in his pocket. Mikaela followed him out the door and went to the garage to get Bee to transform into a car so that he could drive them to the repair shop where Mikaela worked. When Bee saw Mikaela he got so excited that he picked her up and hugged her tight, almost cutting off her air supply.
"Bee! I missed you too but can you please stop squeezing me? I can't breathe!" Mikaela squeaked out. Bee quickly put her down and apologized before transforming into the yellow Camaro. Sam and Mikaela climbed in and pulled out of the garage and onto the road. The seven minute ride to the repair shop was silent of course and Mikaela almost fell asleep because of how soothing the ride was and how quiet the inside of the car was. Bee pulled up in front of the repair shop and Mikaela opened the door.
"Wait, come here." Sam said. He pulled her in for a kiss. "I'm sorry I'm not a morning person. What time do you need me to pick you up?" He asked her.
"I'm done at 2. And really, it's no problem." She told him. He kissed her one more time.
"Okay, I'll be here. I love you. And don't kiss any guys with hot bodies and really cool cars okay?" He told her. She laughed.
"I won't, don't worry. I have my own hot guy right here in his cool car. And I love you too. I'll see you later." She climbed out of the car and walked into the shop. Sam waited until she was safely inside before pulling away.
Mikaela walked into the shop as she heard Bee pull away from the driveway. She stopped by her boss's office and signed in and began working on the cars that came in the night before. She made it all the way to one o'clock before any guy hit on her when he brought his car in. The guy was as tall as Sam was and was muscular but not too muscular. He had dark brown hair and green eyes. His name was Brayden and he had a lot of confidence that day after taking a look at Mikaela. As she bent over his car hood working on the engine, she could feel his eyes staring at her. Feeling uncomfortable, Mikaela stood up and glared his way. Smoothly, Brayden looked away as if he had never been looking at her. Many times this happened and Mikaela was fed up with it.
"I'll be right back." She told him. She disappeared in the main office and went to go get one of her coworkers to ask if they would continue working on the car because she could no longer do it. Normally she would have taught that guy a lesson but she was still sore from the bruises on her and she didn't want to have any more problems than what she had right now. Mikaela sat down on a chair in the office and took a small break with a cup of coffee. She was just about to take another sip of the drink when the bell on top of the door rang signaling that someone had come into the office. Mikaela looked up and saw no one else but her father staring back at her.
