Chapter 2: The crush
Humphrey's P.O.V:
Liza had just finished explaining how her and Salty got here and found me, and I was so glad she didn't as- oh boy here it is..
"I just have one question for you bro.." she said and I was so worried.
"gulp* and w-what would that be?" I said nervously.
"What the fuck is this place?" Liz said and my eyes went wide.
"sigh* I guess it was only a matter of time until I had to tell you" I said as I was playing with the keys in my pocket using them as a stress relief.
"Yo, I'll let you two talk seems like a brother sister thing I'll catch up with you later Humphrey" Salty said walking to his car.
"Alright bro thanks" I said putting my arm around Liza and starting to walk to the barn.
"Something is seriously wrong with him" she said putting her head against the lower part of my breast, yeah I'm 6 ft by the way (I really am ;) )
"Salty? How so?" I chuckled wondering what she's getting at.
"He's being.. WAY to nice lately" She said as we reached the barn.
"Well people change" I chuckled getting the barn keys out.
"You still haven't told me what this place is" Liz said looking at me with her head tilted.
"You'll see" I said as I unlocked the doors and opened them, she gasped in awe at the cars that were in there… yeah we're all kinda car nuts..
"Wow! Who's are the- *gasp* omg a 1969 Boss Mustang?! Does it have a 428 Cobra Jet?" she said in excitement looking at her favourite car ever.
"Yup, I want you to guess who owned these cars" I said smiling at her excitement.
"You?"
"Well I do now but you know who owned these before?" I said sitting on the Charges front fender.
"Who?" she asked coming over to me and sitting next to me on the 69.
"Dad" I said putting my arm around her. I didn't really know what the expression on her face meant but it was almost like the face you make when you think you've seen someone before but can't put your finger on where.
"Helllooooo?" I said waving my hand in front of her face.
"I-I don't know what to say" she said
"Well it's pretty damn cool that's what you should start with" I said with a chuckle
"Okay it's pretty damn cool" she said finally with an expression I recognize, a smile.
"But.. how come you didn't tell me?" she said looking at me.
"Well.. It's just that.. Me and dad used to come here all the time and work on cars" I said getting up and walking to the entrance.
"It's how I know all the things I taught you about them" I said as the exited the barn and I locked up.
"Wow I was only 7 when he passed away so I guess I was too young to understand" she said tearing up.
"Hey what's wrong?" I said hugging her in a comforting fashion, y'know rubbing her back and stuff.
"It's just making me realize you were at least old enough to actually know him" she said in my chest.
"Liz, I was only 9, I barely took anything he told me in" I said wiping her tears away.
"Yeah but you actually remember things you did with him" Liz said looking at me, us still in an embrace.
"I guess I can't argue. But don't worry, I'm still here and will do all I can to protect and teach you and mom" I said with a smile.
"I'm the man of the house" I said proudly.
"You're soooo far from a man" she said with a little giggle.
"See, there's the Liza I know and lo- HEY!" I said with a record mood change and she laughed at this.
"I-I'm omg *laughs* I'm kidding bro" she said with tears now from laughter.
"Come on let's go" I said chuckling at her laughs.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"To my workshop" I said.
"Workshop?"
"Yup. I'm working on a project" I said as we came up to the grey building with 3 garages and a door on the side.
"Project? For like.. School?"
"Liza… school doesn't start until tomorrow"
"Ugh don't remind me" She said as I opened the door and laughed.
I went over to a car under a tarp that I always put on it only to take it off and reveal dad's 1969 Dodge Super Bee that I've been working on. The current state it's in is I've sanded it down got rid of all the rust and just put the engine in, today I was going to see if she'll start up.
"Wow" is all Liza could say.
"Yup. This is what I've been working on this entire summer. She's actually ready to start up.. Wanna do it with me?" I said as she nodded and walked over to me. I opened the key box and got the keys for it then walked back over to the car and opened the door, which didn't have any handles by the way so I just had to put my finger in the handle slot and find the lever to open the door. I got in and Liza sat on my lap, we both put our fingers on the key in the ignition and I put my foot on the break and we turned the key. The car was igniting as I was stomping on the gas to make sure the cylinders were open… and then VVVRRROOOOMMMMMM!
"Yes!" I said as I lightly smacked the steering wheel in excitement.
"Wow! Good work bro!" Liza said as we got out and I went straight to the engine to make sure everything was in proper working order.
"Maybe if you pull up to school in this, you-know-who might actually notice you" Liz said with a smirk.
"Kate Jackson?"
"Yep"
"Oh come on Liz she's waaaaaayyyy out of my league" I said as I shut the hood and went to pull the key out.
"Humphrey you are not! You're smart and funny and okay looking.. I guess" She said
"Look you're very sweet sis but she's wayyy too beautiful and smart and sweet for me" I said denying it. Pretty much all day we worked on the car but one thing was going through my mind as it always does… Kate Jackson…
