Jacob and Sarah: Oil Stains
"Damn it!"
Sarah frowned from where she was working underneath the car of a new client in her dad's garage and slid out from under it. Putting her wrench down, she sat up and looked at her father who was under the hood of another car. Frowning she asked, "Something wrong?"
Jacob lifted himself up and looked at his daughter before saying, "The kid who owns this damn car is driving it around with engine oil mixed with water in the tank, and the gasket is degraded. No wonder this damn thing isn't working right and dripping oil."
"Dummy," Sarah said about the owner before sliding back underneath the car she was working on.
She listened to her dad grumble about having to go under it and make it release what was left of the bad engine oil. She heard him move around before he settled on his creeper seat and slid under the car. Finishing her own repairs, she slid out from her the car she was working on and walked over to her dad and his car. Bending down she asked, "Need any help?"
Jacob tinkered around a bit before answering, "No, I got it."
Sarah nodded and turned to put her tools away. As she did, she listened to her dad tinker with the bottom of the engine for a moment more before sliding out from under the car. Looking at him, she noticed the large oil stain staining his shirt. Smiling she asked, "Is it leaking out now?"
"Yes, and I'm going to have to wait for it to finish before starting the rest of my repairs for it, and then putting in fresh oil."
The girl nodded and wiped her hands on a rag before tossing it to her father, allowing him to wipe his own hands and his shirt. As she looked at him, she giggled before saying, "You're covered in oil stains again. Mom is going to be mad, especially about that large one on your shirt."
Jacob looked down at himself before looking at his daughter. Sarah seemed to be relatively clean except for her hands, arms, and a smudge on her cheek. Suddenly smirking, he took a step towards his daughter with his arms held out saying, "I can't be the only one looking like I've been working today."
"Dad, no," Sarah said, backing away from her dad.
However, Jacob kept up his playful advancement. Sarah turned to playfully run away, only to slip into the trail of oil the car her father was working on made and fall in it. She groaned as she hit the ground, Jacob's laughter reaching her ears as she did. Sitting up, she glared at her father as his laughter turned into amused chuckling. Reaching a hand down he said, "There, now we both are covered in oil stains. Now mom can get mad at both of us."
Sarah stuck her tongue out at her father before taking his hand, looking down at her overalls. Well, she supposed it wasn't as bad as she thought, and luckily she only wore these when working in her dad's garage with him anyway. She liked that he was running his business out of it and making some good money, too. And she was also glad he showed her how to repair cars, though still wanted to repair a car or motorcycle or something from scratch like her mother said he had done for her years ago. She was positive she could do it, and if she needed any help or pointers, she could always ask her dad.
Deciding to just ask him, she said, "Hey daddy?"
Jacob, who had been cleaning up the oil, hummed in response, letting her know she had his attention.
"When can I repair my own car or engine or whatever? You know, like you did for mom and stuff years ago?"
The man finished his cleaning task and stood up, a thoughtful look on his face. After a while he said, "Well, that depends."
"On what?"
"On whether you pass your driving test or not."
Sarah frowned. "What does that have to do with anything?"
Jacob simply smiled and beckoned his daughter to follow him outside. Once outside of the Taj, he began walking around the back of the garage, his daughter following. Soon they came upon what was obviously a car covered by a large piece of cloth. Walking over to it, Jacob grabbed the sheet and said, "You pass your test, she's all yours."
Yanking the sheet off, he revealed the car beneath it. Sarah gasped as she laid eyes on a beautiful metallic grey 2010 Corvette Convertible. Running up to it, she looked at and around it before turning to her dad wide-eyed. "She's mine?"
"Yes, but only if you pass your driver's test."
Sarah squealed and hugged her dad happily, thanking him while getting more oil stains on herself and him. She asked where he got it, and he told her he had called up Blondie, her aunt Rosalie, as he had a hard time finding one in the area and she had it sent to him. He also let her know she was in charge of taking care of and repairing its engine and anything else to do with the car. It was hers, therefore she took care of it. Sarah promised she would and that she would definitely pass her driver's test before running towards the little red house, saying she had to tell Billy and call Rosalie to thank her.
Jacob chuckled as his daughter ran off, picking up the cloth and covering the car back up. He knew Sarah would be happy with it, and he knew she would take good care of her car. Once the car was covered, he decided he had enough working in his garage today. Heading back to the garage to lock it up, he couldn't help but shake his head as he looked down at his oil stained clothes. Another hard day at work, and another day his daughter was happy.
