Chapter 7: A Bad Date. But a Great Partner
Jacks P.O.V (3:29pm)
So here I am… The best place in the world! Old cars, beautiful day, and my two best friends! Anyway… We were just talking about Kate's differential and I agreed the axles should be taken out. I was so eager to see his cars! Me and Keith love older cars by the way…
"So… where are your baby's?" I asked and Keith nodded.
"Right this way" he said leading us to a barn. He took some keys out and started unlocking it. He unlocked it and stopped with a horrified face. I looked in and saw all the cars that he explained… But absolutely demolished… The Charger had its windows hit out and tires slashed and its mirror was missing.. The Mustang was missing a wheel and its louvers and the spoiler was cut in half.. Then the 70 Challenger T/A which looked like a blow torch was put to it it was burnt but I don't know how the whole barn wasn't burnt down… Must've been a blow torch. Keith covered his mouth and Liza, Humphreys little sister, gasped. And then there was Humphrey… Who fell to his knees and started crying. Keith and I immediately went to his side on our knees comforting him.
"I'm g-gonna f-fucking KILL HIM!" He said and Keith put his head on Humphreys shoulder and I wrapped my arm around him.
"Who bro who?" I asked and his sister finally spoke up.
"Garth McPherson" she said and we know that name ALL too well. He was messing with Keith, who is way to nice to speak up, so I did. Ever since, he's left him alone.
"That piece of crap did this!?" Keith said clenching his fist and Humphrey nodded.
"I can't believe he destroyed your fucking cars bro!" I said furious.
"No he didn't… He destroyed my DAD's cars!" he said with killer eyes
"Oh my God bro… I'm so sorry" I said patting his back, You see.. His dad was found dead a while back and they… were so close. It destroyed Humphrey when he died.
"I need a gun, Jack, you own tons of them can I buy one off you?" he said sounding very serious
"Woah look bro.. I know you're very sad and you have a right to be. But you can't just kill a man!" I said looking him in the eye. We we're like that for a bit and then he looked down
"You're right" he said as we got up and Liza ran to him and tightly hugged him. Keith and I started picking up parts and putting them on a table.
"Hey! You know what?" Keith asked enthusiastically
"What" Humphrey said depressed, it didn't even sound like a question.
"These are all still fixable bro" He finished. They were actually. Just need to work together.
"Yeah they are" I said leaning against the wall. He didn't say anything he just walked around every car taking note of the damage, then he went to the part we picked up.
"Hmm" he said definitely thinking.
"Okay" he said and me and Keith bro fisted
"And we will help" I said and Humphrey went wide eyed
"Really?"
"Yeah man! We're family now!" Keith said and I smiled and nodded. He walked over and hugged both of us.
"You guys are the best friends a guy can have" he said tearing up.
"Anytime bro" I said happily
"I'll help too" Liza said and we stopped hugging and looked at her.
"Okay, you can to all the heavy things" Humphrey joked crossing his arms and we chuckled
"Nooooo. I'm weak" She said looking at her arms
"You won't be once you're done helping us" I said and she giggled
"That's true" she agreed
Once she said that Humphrey perked up like he realized something then he shot out the door like flash. And we all looked at each other then Liza gasped and said
"THE SUPER BEE!" and ran out the door with Keith and I right behind her clueless as hell.
Welp! thanks for readi- I'M JUST FUCKIN WITH YOU!
Humphrey's P.O.V
… I just… Can't…
"Wait up man!" Jack said
That piece... of.. shit…
"Yeah hold up man we need to know what's happening!" Keith yelled from behind
….. If he.. Did ANYTHING to that car…
"Bro I'm sure it's fine" Liza said as we got to the door. I went to open it but… It was locked.. 'Okay thats a good sign' I thought. I got my keys out and unlocked it opening it slowly before I did I covered my eyes
"Liz… can you go look" I said with a sad voice
"Sure bro, lets go guys" She said and the three of them went in. Then I heard Jack…
"Holy fucking shit dude!"
"Oh my god!" I said out loud knowing it must not be pretty.
"Ah fuck it" I said as I walked in to see… The Super Bee… Just how I left it..
"Dude this is so nice! I love these" Jack said and I sighed in relief
"Thank God" I said leaning down with my head on the hood. Keith patted my back and Jack admired the car.
"Wow bro I love Coronets!" Jack said looking inside it. It doesn't have back seats yet but I just have to put the seats in, thats about it.
"Yeah me and my dad were restoring it together, now I'm just finishing the job" I said (A/N: True story about my 1969 Charger, I was restoring it with my dad before… If you wanna see a pic of it, it's in my profile picture).
"Wow man that's pretty sweet" Keith said walking over to Jack
"Thanks, now I don't mean to be rude but I'd like this car to just be a me and Liza thing that we build" I said hoping I didn't upset them
"Oh it's totally fine dude we understand" Keith said smiling.
"Thanks guys.. And thank you for comforting me you're the best" I said hugging them.
"Who's the hugger now?" Jack said chuckling and we all shared a laugh. All day we worked on the cars and managed to almost finish the Mustang, we also pulled the Challenger out and put it with the rest of the unfixable cars sadly… I cried it was not easy. That's the car my parents drove away from their wedding with. Jack and Keith left after we did that and it was just Liza and I left. We were working on the Super Bee when I remembered something.
"Shit! What time is it?" I asked answering my own question by checking the time on my phone.
"Oh God it's 5:45!" I said as we quickly packed everything up and I ran to my truck. Got in it and started it. If Liza didn't run as well I wouldn't have waited for her. This is the most important night of my life! We sped off and Liza was looking at me.
"What?" I asked
"You're in loooovvveeee" she said in such an annoying way.
"Liz… I am not in love yet.. This is only our first date" I said turning into our driveway. Again… that was a lie. I do love Kate she's just… perfect in everyway to me. I ran into the house and up the stairs grabbing a jacket and my wallet then I ran into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I didn't need to change my clothes because, like every time I work on the car, I wore some overalls to protect my clothes from grease stains because one.. There a bitch to get out and two… The last time I came home with my clothes all greasy my mom asked me if I was in some sort of kinky sex chamber… something she saw in a movie… I hope… ANYWAY MOVING ON! I finished brushing my teeth and ran out the door and right as I was about to get in my truck these seriously bright lights pulled up to the driveway it was definitely two cars. The one in the driveway shut the engine off and I saw it was a firemint blue metallic 1967 Camaro RS/SS… Now whose car is that? I was thinking until the driver got out and I saw it was Troy one of those really nice guys I met, he's also part of Jack and Keith's friend group that must mean the guy in the other car is-
"Hey Humphrey! How's it hangin'?" Allen said walking over to us with his car still running.
"Oh hey guys. I would really love to hang out trust me bu-"
"But you're going on a date with Kate?" Troy said answering my question
"Uh… yeah.. How'd you guys know?" I asked leaning up against my truck
"Jack told us" Allen said putting his arm on Troy's shoulder like as if he was leaning on him, Troy didn't seem to mind but I wasn't surprised these guys are so nice and VERY close that includes Jack and Keith.
"Oh so how come you guys are here?" I asked and Troy looked at his car then back at me
"Well… we understand you wanted to take Kate to your date in one of the classics but Jack told us what happened with Garth McPherson" Allen said and I growled under my breath just at the mere mention of his name.
"Okay… so why are y-" I couldn't finish because Troy threw me some keys and I caught them.
"What ar- Oh no no Troy you don't ha-"
"Just keep her clean and park her by herself" he said smiling and nodding
"Thank you man" I said giving him a hug. I could tell he wasn't a hugger but he still hugged back.
"Alright man! Have fun on your date!" Allen said standing in front of his opened door
"Thanks man I will!" I said waving as Troy got in the passenger side and they drove off.
"Wow" I said spinning the keys around on my index finger admiring the car. I got in and started it. It. sounded. Like. sex. No wait… It felt like sex… Fuck I messed it up! The goddamn car sounded good okay? I made sure it was in neutral by giggling the stick… not sexual Jesus… I then put the clutch in and put it in reverse then into first gear and I was off! I looked around the interior and I saw a magazine on the passenger side floor which the title read 'War Platoon Pilots' and on the front cover was a wolf that looked a lot like Troy and behind him was, what I know from video games, a P-40E fighter plane. I continued driving and made it to Kate's house I waited for a bit then realized that she doesn't know this car so I honked and waited. 2 minutes later I saw her door open and she walked out looking absolutely gorgeous, as usual. She kind of hunched over to see inside the car and I waved. She walked over and got in.
"Hey Humphrey. Is this yours?" she asked closing the door and looking around.
"Nope. It's actually my friend Troy's. He's letting me borrow it tonight." I said
"Wow that was nice of him" she said looking in my eyes and we did that for about a solid 40 seconds
"Yeah…" I said in the trance then she broke it
"So.. are you g-gonna drive?" she asked smiling and blushing
"Hmmm I'm not sure yet" I joked and she giggled
"Let's go you goof" she said and I chuckled then sped off.
(15 minutes later)
"So where are we headed?" she asked and I smirked
"Calsey's" I answered and she gasped
"How did you know that was my favourite restaurant!?" she asked as I stopped at a red light
"Well… my sister knows yours and I asked her to ask Lilly if she knew what your favourite resturant was. She said Calsey's" I said happily. Then she kissed my cheek.
"That was so sweet of you" she said and I blushed.
"Anything f-for y-you" I said and she started to lean over to me 'are we gonna kiss!? Oh my god! Is my breath okay? Do I lean left o-or do I lean right!? Ah fuck it just kiss her!' I felt her breath on my lips and then we- HOOOOONNNNNKKKK! 'MOTHER FUCKER!' my mind screamed as I saw the light was green. We looked at each other blushing and I put the car in gear.
"Wow talk about timing he he" I said nervously
"Tell me about it" she said giggling. We made it to the restaurant and walked in. After I held the door for Kate and walked in I felt a hand in mine. When I looked down I saw it was Kate's it took me by surprise to see the girl of my dreams holding my hand.
"What's wrong? Can't your date hold your hand?" she said smiling up at me.
"Of course" I said holding her hand and we walked to the concierge (guy at the front)
"Hi, table for two please" I said and he raised his eyebrow.
"Name?"
"Uh sorry?" I said not knowing why he needs our names
"Sir I need the name of your reservation" he said looking at both of us
"Oh um… I didn't know you guys added that.." I said nervously
"We just added it about a month ago sir"
"Well why didn't you put it on the website!?" I asked getting impatient.. Which is not usually me..
"Humphrey it's fine we can go somewhere else" Kate said lightly tugging my hand. I looked at her then back at the concierge and quietly spoke to him
"Look man.. This night is very important to me. That girl is the girl of my dreams and I really want to make this work. I don't want to mess it up like how I mess everything else up" I said looking serious and sad.
"I'm sorry sir but as much as I want to help you I can't. It's a strict rule which means it puts my job on the line. I really am truly sorry." He said looking in my eyes which made me understand he meant it.
"Okay I understand" I said as we started to walk away. We got out and I leaned up against the car with a sad expression.
"Look, Kate I'm so sor-" Before I could finish she KISSED me! ME! It was the best thing ever her lips were so soft and she wrapped her arms around my neck as I wrapped mine around her waist. OFFICIALLY the BEST day of my LIFE! We kissed for a good 2 minutes and then she broke away. And I had one question…
"What was that for?" I asked almost in a daze
"Just for being you. I didn't know I meant so much to you" She said as she obviously heard what I said to the guy.
"Well you do Kate. A lot in fact" I said smiling as we shared another quick kiss and then got in the car.
"So where should we eat?" I asked
"How about Milestones?" she said
"Milestones it is!" I said as I started the beast of a car and we were off.
(about 7 minutes later)
Thankfully Milestones wasn't very far from Calseys because I was STARVING. We walked in and got a table once we sat down and ordered it was time for small talk… which will actually be easy considering we have so many of the same interests.
"So I looked at your differential" I said and she listened
"It's pretty fucked but I can easily order a new one" I said and she sighed in relief
"Thank God but don't think you're gonna pay for it" she said jokingly narrowing her eyes.
"Oh definitely not! I can't even afford a goddamn chiro from seven-eleven" I said and she laughed
"Oh come on it's not that bad" she said giggling now
"No it's not he he but is it okay if you pa-"
"Yes it is 100% okay Humphrey you've done enough I'm not about to use your money" she said putting her hand on mine and I smiled.
"So do you have a job Humphrey?" she asked
"I do not but I'm thinking of getting my summer job at Princess Auto as a part-time job" I said
"That's great! Must've been fun working on cars over there" she said smiling
"Oh yeah it was great. I do make money though." I said and she tilted her head.
"Oh? How so? You're not a drug dealer or Hitman.. Or god forbid a stripper" she said and I chuckled
"No no I sell some of the cars to people that are willing to restore them" I said chuckling
"Oh thats awesome! But… If you were a stipper.. I'd need to know the club you work at so I can see you work" she said winking and biting her bottom lip and I chuckled and blushed… also got turned on with her seductive ways.
"How about you?" I asked
"I am also looking for an old job" she said
"Guess that makes another thing we have in common" I said and she nodded. Our food got served and it was so good! (A/N: If you guys ever come here to Canada you gotta try Milestones it's so good!)
We cut the bill 50/50 because Kate didn't want me to do anything else for her today so we split it 50/50 and I covered the tip. We left the restaurant and headed to the movies.
"So what are we going to see?" Kate asked after putting gum in her mouth. 'Maybe I'll get lucky again tonight he he' I thought before answering
"Baby Driver"
"Hmm… Fast cars… Guns.. Action… Definitely a movie I wanted to see!" she said and I chuckled
"I knew that" I said chuckling
"Of course you did!" She said and giggled.
We made it to the movie theater and I parked. We got out and started walking I then felt my hand get held again and it was Kate.
"What?" She asked
"Nothing just gotta get used to feeling my hand getting held and seeing a beautiful girl by my side" I said and she smiled and kissed my cheek.
We walked into the movie theater and got our tickets and popcorn then made our way to the right theater.
"I've been wanting to see this movie for so long" I said as we sat down.
"It looked awesome" she said.
She moved the arm rest in between us and snuggled up to me and I put my arm around her. This. Is. Heaven…
The movie started and it was amazing! (A/N: I haven't actually seen it so don't take my word for it)
We we're walking back to the car, my arm around Kate, and we saw… Him.. pull into the parking lot.
"Shit!" I whispered and pulled Kate behind a car.
"Humphrey? Whats going on?" She asked
"Garth" I said pointing to him getting out of his car.
"Stay here.. I need to go kill him" I said about to get up but Kate pulled me back
"No Humphrey please don't I don't want you getting hurt" she said looking in my eyes
"But he was going to hurt you and he trashed my dads cars Kate you don't understand" I said
"But I do" she said
"No Kate.. you don't. That's all I had left of him" I said tearing up and she hugged me
"Please Humphrey I'm not saying don't confront him. I'm just saying do it with Jack or Allen at least. Please?" she said and I looked at her sparkling amber eyes.
"Okay Kate. For you" I said and we hugged again. I looked up and saw he was gone so he must've gone into the cinema.
"Let's go" I said smiling and taking her hand as we made our way to the car and left.
Garth's P.O.V:
I saw that little shit stain with MY girl at the movies! She's MINE! Why can't little boy's like Humphrey stay out of our beautiful relationship? I might have to kill him! No no no I can't kill him that's wron- TO PAINLESS I need to beat him until fate decides what to do with him! And then. Kate will be mine.
