Okay, first I have to say something. I just logged in on Twitter, and there was this conversation between Adam Thomas (Adam Barton) and Lyndon Ogbourne (Nathan Wylde). Lyndon asked if Adam wanted to come by for an early movie that night. I had to think back on the beginning of this story, can't help it. Adam's reaction was: sounds like a plan, just like it was in my story when Jake asked Adam to come over the other day for another movienight:
'Eh, yes, it is. Maybe we could watch those two movies together another time. 'Jake said.
'Okay, sounds like a plan to me', Adam said and he grabbed a couple of bottles from the kitchen table. 'I'll suggest to the rest, to watch those after this terrible horror movie.'
Maybe I had to call the character Nathan, instead of Jake ;)
I thought it was a funny similarity :P
Now I'll shut up again, so you can read how the story continues:)
The next day Adam decided to make a tour on his quad. He wanted to discover Emmerdale and the surroundings. So after he finished his work at the farm, Adam started his quad, and drove off.
When he almost entered the village, he heard a strange sound coming from the motor. Why does this always happens to me, Adam wonders. He thought about what he had said to Aaron at their night out at the pub. 'So when my quad is broken, I have to call you to fix it?'. Adam had no idea where the garage exactly was, and he didn't have Aaron's number. Adam decided to drive a little further into the village, and go to the place where Aaron had disappeared yesterday after lunch. The noise of the motor, became louder and louder. This doesn't sounds good at all, Adam thought.
Lucky for Adam the garage wasn't really hard to find. It was exactly around the corner, where Aaron had disappeared the other day.
Aaron came from under the car he was fixing, when he heard some noise. When Adam turned off the motor of his quad, he walked to Aaron.
'Hi. Do you have time left today to look at my quad? I finished work early, so I decided to discover Emmerdale and the surroundings, but when I got nearby the village there was a strange sound coming from the motor, I think,' Adam said.
'Hi. I've got some time. I'll look at it right now. This car has to be fixed by tomorrow, so no problem. Will you start the motor for me? Then I can listen to where the noise is coming from,' Aaron said.
Adam started the motor, and Aaron listened to the sound.
'I think it's nothing that can't be repaired,' Aaron said. 'Just need to work on it, for let's say 1.5 hour.'
'Okay, fortunately. I will take a walk through the village then, and will come back here,' Adam said.
'All right, I'll start working then,' Aaron said and walked inside the garage to get some tools.
Adam walked away and did some walking through the village, until he neared the Woolpack. He had become thirsty so he went in. As he walked towards the bar, Adam looked around to see if he recognized anyone, but he didn't. He ordered a tea and drink it at the table. When he emptied his glass, he ordered a coffee to go, and left the Woolpack. Adam decided to go back to the garage, maybe he could be helpful to Aaron.
When he neared the garage, he saw Aaron leaning over his quad. His eyes slipped up and down, and he kept staring at Aaron for a while. Too bad he's wearing an overall. I'm pretty sure he's pretty fit underneath it. When Adam realized what he was just thinking about, he was a little shocked. What the hell was he doing?
Adam walked towards Aaron, as Aaron heard something behind him. He turned around and Adam gave him the coffee he brought from the Woolpack.
'Thanks,' Aaron said. 'I just needed a break.' Adam started to laugh.
'So it's harder then you thought, then?' Adam asked.
'Well, the problem isn't that hard to fix, normally, but the thing that has to replaced is hidden among some other elements, so it's hard to replace it,' Aaron answered.
'Sorry then,' Adam said with a bit of a guilty face.
'What for? It's still my job, you know, and it's almost fixed already,' Aaron said.
'Don't you have to work?'. The boys turned around and Adam saw two men walking towards them. It were Aaron's collegue Ryan and boss Cain.
'Yes, but I needed a break', Aaron said.
'Okay, then you had your break, now you can continue your work again, then,' Cain said.
'Yes, fine,' Aaron said and he did the last reparations of the quad. In the mean time, Adam just looked a bit around, and handed some tools over at Aaron whenever he asked for them.
'So, this one is ready,' Aaron said to Adam. 'Will you start it for me?'
Adam started the motor, and it sounded perfect again.
'Thanks, mate,' Adam said. 'How much do I owe you?'
'I'll only count for the materials, because your new,' Aaron said.
'You can't do that. You've been working on it for almost 2 hours, now. I've to pay you for that, don't I?' Adam said.
'You may pay me in nature,' Aaron said. 'If you insist to pay me.'
