Since Savannah was offered the job at Han's garage she had been there non stop, she loved working on cars and it took her mind off of more pressing matters such as finding her father, which was one of the reasons she had come out to Japan, a friend of Savannah's who had been helping her try to find her father, had been given information that her father had been in Japan, but she was unsure on how to even go about finding him now that she was here, so she filled her days and most of her evenings with her headphones in, music on and working on cars.
Once again Savannah was working on the NSX after the parts had finally been delivered, she was completely immersed in her work, practically dangling into the engine bay, now that the engine had been removed when someone tapped her back, causing her to jump and curse loudly.
"This is why you shouldn't wear headphones, I've been calling you for five minutes." Kayleigh scolded her best friend, hands on her hips as she looked down at Savannah's messy hair, dirty oil covered face and clothes.
"And what is it you want? I'm busy as you can see." Savannah asked wiping her hands on a rag before she got back to work.
"Han wants to talk to you, he's out the back." Kayleigh said with a shrug when Savannah looked at her with furrowed brows, with a sigh and one last look at the car, she wiped her dirt covered hands on a rag sticking out of the waistband of her jeans before putting tools back in the tool chest and headed off to look for Han.
Savannah found Han out the back of the garage leaning against his RX-7 popping nuts into his mouth which made her smile, over the last couple of weeks she had been working at the garage she had been getting closer and closer to him, they often found themselves in pointless conversations laugh and joking with each other, it was nice because he didn't expect anything from her, he didn't expect her to open up.
"Kayleigh said you wanted to talk to me." Savannah announced as she walked over to him and stole a handful of his nuts and popping them into her own mouth with a smile.
"You've been here for a while now and I haven't seen you behind the wheel yet." Han smirked at her as she looked up at him with complete confusion.
"What's your point? And I'm surprised Kayleigh hasn't shoved my racing down your throat." Savannah joked as she tilted her head to one side.
"Oh she has talked about your racing days in the states but you're not in the states you're here in Japan." Han's smirk didn't falter as he watched Savannah work out what he was saying.
"I told you, I can't drift continuously, I get overconfident and end up spinning out." Savannah sighed as she turned to head back inside to finish working on the car.
"Can't be as bad as Sean, he wrecked this car, I had to replace all the body panels she was that damaged, and besides, I can teach you, I taught Sean and look at him now." Han said as he caught up to Savannah taking her elbow and turning her to face him, they were so close that Savannah had to tilt her head up to look at him. Their eyes locked and it sent Savannah's heart racing.
"I'll think about it." Savannah said in an almost whisper before she turned away and almost ran back inside the garage and to the safety of music and working on the car. Over the weeks of her working there with Han, she had noticed that she actually enjoyed his company, he wasn't the talkative type which Savannah quite liked as she didn't like too talk too much.
Even she had noticed that they had been growing closer.
"What was that about?" Kayleigh asked as she walked over and leaned on against the tool box.
"Nothing.. He just asked about me, racing that's all." Savannah snapped, as she shooed Kayleigh away from her perch so she could get the tools she needed.
"Okayyy, so why snap at me?" Kayleigh asked as she looked at Savannah with a little bit of concern.
"Can we talk about this later? I have work to do and so do you." Savannah sighed as she moved back to focus on the car. Kayleigh looked at her best friend noticing a difference in her behaviour and her snappiness, she turned around and watched as Han came back inside running a hand through his hair as he looked over at Savannah.
"Did something happen between you and Han?" Kayleigh blurted out putting two and two together.
"Keep your voice down and no nothing happened, again can we talk about this later when we aren't at work?" Savannah hushed her friend grabbing her arm and dragging her to the back end of the car.
"Fine, drinks after work just the two of us as we haven't spent any time together in a while." Kayleigh said with a smirk knowing that she had won. Savannah sighed and nodded her head as she gave in and went back to work.
As the hours past Savannah couldn't get the how close her and Han had been and how fast her heart began to race, she couldn't help but think about what would have happened if she hadn't had ran off, shaking the thoughts loose from her mind as she packed up her tools and wiped her hands on the rag yet again.
"Hey you got a minute?" Han asked as he walked up to Savannah as she had finished and started getting ready to leave, she looked up at him with her normal expressionless mask and tilted her head to the side.
"Sure what's up?" She asked him.
"What are you doing tonight?" He questioned, Savannah looked at him and all words had gone out of her head, she didn't know why she had become flustered all of a sudden but she just couldn't get the words out.
"Sorry Han, but me and Savvy are having a night in together it's been awhile since we spent any time alone together. Well we are going out for a couple of drinks after work then going home to relax and chat." Kayleigh smiled as she came over and put an arm around Savannah's shoulders.
"Okay, another time then, do you need a ride?" Han asked.
"No thanks, I have us covered, Neela helped me order a taxi, I think I am finally starting to get the hang of the language, we'll see you tomorrow." Kayleigh laughed as Han smiled at the pair of them, but Savannah couldn't help but notice the disappointment in his eyes which suddenly made her feel very guilty before he headed to his office.
"Ugh, I need a drink." Savannah announced once Han was out of earshot.
"What is with you?" Kayleigh asked Savannah as they headed out to the taxi that was waiting for them.
"Drinks first, talk after." Savannah shook her head as they piled into the taxi and she had one last look at the garage.
The two girls made it to a little bar that was quiet, where they could both talk without having to shout, Savannah sat in a booth drink in hand staring down into the glass, Kayleigh sat down opposite her, she watched as her friend looked for answers in her drink.
"Okay, what's up with you? I have never seen you like this before." Kayleigh eventually asked asked, startling Savannah causing her to almost knocking her drink over.
"Nothing Kay, just leave it please." Savannah said as she looked up at her friend, before taking a sip of her drink.
"You said you would talk to me, so please talk to me, Savannah please don't shut me out." Kayleigh pleaded as she took her friend's hand and looking at her with sympathy.
"Fine, but it stays between me and you. I think I might have feelings for Han, I don't know, we had a.. Well I guess you could call it a moment back at the garage…" Savannah sighed as she finally gave in and told Kayleigh what had happened.
