Chapter 3"Well do you want to know what I'm on probation for or not, cause I have no problem in not telling you."
Did he just really say that? I mean is Rob about to tell me what he's on probation for? Oh my God! "Rob...."
"I used to sell stolen motorcycle parts." Rob must of thought I was like ready to go off on him because he continued really quickly by saying, "But Jess it was only cause I really needed the money. I mean my mom had just lost her job and I wasn't making enough money at my uncle's garage." He started pacing back in forth in front of me, "The opportunity was just right there and all I had to do was put these stolen parts on some peoples bikes and that was it."
"I still don't understand I mean where did you get the parts? Did you steal them?" I was really confused I mean he was talking really fast and that is unusual for Rob.
He stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me, "No! I swear Jess I didn't steal the bikes. I have no idea where or who they came from. This guy that I used to work with at my uncle's just brought them to me and told me they were hot so to be careful with them. So I would fix up old bikes with the stolen bike's parts here in the barn and then give the old bike's back to the guy and he would sell them. I used to get 45 of what he made off of the bikes."
I just sat looking down at my hands, I was trying to process the information that I had been wanting to hear since the day I found out Rob Wilkins was on probation. I was speechless, I didn't know what to say, I didn't know what to think. So the first thing that came to my mind I said, "How did you get caught?"
Rob ran his fingers through his jet black hair, "That guy that would bring me the motorcycles, he got caught first and then the cops figured out that there had to be another person involved so they convinced the guy that they would go 'easy' on him if he told them who I was. So of course he did." Rob crouched in front of me for the second time that day and took my hands in his and asked me, "Jess do you think you could forgive me? I mean I know what I did was stupid and wrong in so many ways. I swear it was just a once in a life time deal, I'll never ever do it again. I promise! Jess look at me," he kissed my hands, "will you forgive me?"
