Taking a long, much needed drag, Remy slowly exhaled the smoke from his lungs and watched as it mingled with the rain and disappeared. They were taking a break while David ran a few errands to finished Gabby's car. Watching the puddles dance in front of him, he took another drag as he watched a car approach the shop. It wasn't David's truck. Flicking the cigarette into a puddle, Remy pushed off the side of the garage entrance and stood up tall as they stopped and killed their headlights. The door opened and an umbrella popped out before a woman got out and head toward him.
He smirked. "Bonjour." He said as she walked closer to him.
"Is David here? I don't see his truck." She said.
Blowing the last of the smoke from his lungs, Remy jut his jaw down the driveway. "Went t' grab a few t'ings. Anyt'in' I can help y' wit', chere?" He asked, seeing her eye him cautiously.
"I just wanted to get an oil change." She said.
"Dat, I can help y' wit'." He said.
"I haven't seen you here before." The woman said as the rain died down.
"Be new in town. Workin' for Dave." He explained as he looked at the weather. "Le' me pull y' car in. No sense in havin' y' get all wet again."
"Oh, thank you." She said with a smile as she handed him her keys.
Pulling her car in, he placed it over the crank lift before getting out and jacking the car up a bit for him to fit underneath it. Grabbing the desired oil she had gotten last time, according to her, he rolled underneath the car to drain the old oil into the pan. After the last of the oil dripped out, he closed it up and rolled out from underneath the car.
"A'right. Le's fill dis puppy up." He said, opening the oil and pouring it in.
David pulled up right as Remy finished with filling the oil in the woman's car and he smiled as he got out of his truck. "Hey, Teri!" He said with a smile.
"I hope you don't mind. I had, um...I didn't get your name." Teri said.
"Remy." He said, wiping his hands on the old towel they had been using that day.
David smiled. "Don't mind at all. Remy's working for me." He said.
"Well, here's the money for the oil change. I trust it didn't go up?" Teri asked.
"Nope, still fifty." He said, taking the cash as Remy lowered the car.
"Keys be in de ignition." He said, opening the car door for her.
She slightly blushed. "Why thank you." She said, getting inside and starting up the engine.
Giving them a wave, Teri pulled out of the garage and head back down the driveway.
"Thanks for helping out with that." David said. "Here, I need to show you what I charge for everything in case I'm not here."
Walking to the back of the garage, they went inside a small room the size of a broom closet. There was a tiny file cabinet with a fold out chair beside it. This was obviously the office. Sitting down, David opened the middle file drawer and pulled out a file. Taking out the top paper, he handed it to Remy.
Taking the paper, Remy looked it over. "Cheap labor, no?" He asked, glancing at David as he rested his sunglasses on the top of his head.
"Well, this is a small town." David said, standing up and tugging at the waist of his pants. "Not too expensive to live, so I keep my prices low. Everyone keeps coming back."
"Be a good t'ing den." Remy said, nodding. "I be sure an' ref'rence dis."
"So, uh..." David began as he ran his hand over his short hair. "You wanna show me your powers?"
Remy shrugged. "Sure." He said as they walked out of the small office. "Y' got anyt'in' dat ain' wort' not'in'?"
Looking around the shop, David grabbed a few old, bolts he cut off a car at one time. "Will these work?" He asked, handing them to Remy.
"Parfait." He said as he head outside, David following behind him.
Holding his right hand out, he let a small charge through that ignited the old bolts. The purplish-pink glow got brighter before Remy tossed them to a dirt pile ten feet away from them. As soon as they touched the dirt, they exploded. It was a small explosion, but David knew that could've been more destructive.
"Wow." David said, looking Remy in the eyes as he turned around. "That's some power."
Remy smirked. "Jus' imagine learnin' t' contro' dat." He said, making David smile.
"Well, you're secret is safe with me." David said. "You need a longer break or are you ready to finish this car?"
"Le's do it." Remy said as they gathered the things David had got on his errands and got to work on Gabby's car.
"See you tomorrow, Gabby!" One of the morning staff said to her as she got into the car with her mom.
Gabby smiled as she waved to her fellow coworker as she sat outside on the patio furniture. Sighing, she looked at her watch and realized she had been clocked out for forty-five minutes. Not having a car sucked.
A familiar engine made her look up to see her dad in his truck driving toward the café. She smiled when she saw her car behind him. Remy was driving.
Stopping in front of her at the curb, Remy got out and left the door open for her. "Like new." He said, walking over and handing her the keys. "Didn' change yo' seats."
"Oh I wouldn't have cared." Gabby said, looking over his face. "Thanks for helping my dad."
"My pleasure, chere." He said, seeing her cheeks slightly pink.
"Sorry it took so long, baby." David said, getting out of his truck and walking around to them. "Had to grab a few more parts."
"It's okay." She said, eying Remy. "The weather's cleared up some, so it wasn't a bad wait."
"Gabby, would you mind giving Remy a ride back to the shop?" David asked.
"Oh, uh." She said, looking up at him and seeing him slightly smirk. "Sure."
"Thanks. I've just gotta pick up some spark plugs for the appointment this afternoon." David said as he got in his truck and waved to them before driving off.
"Well, let's go." Gabby said as she quickly stepped between Remy and the door, lightly brushing his torso. "Sorry."
"S'okay." He said, walking around and getting in the passenger side. "Dat coffee be good dis mornin'."
Gabby smiled as she put the car in drive. "I'm glad you like it. We're about the only café in town, not counting the diners." She said, noticing Remy looking at her. "So, uh, how old are you?"
Remy's smirk widened. "Why y' wanna know?" He asked, finally looking forward.
"Just making small talk." Gabby said, stopping at a red light. "I'm nineteen."
"Twenty-one." He replied, looking at her again.
"I figured you were at least twenty-one, since you were going to order a beer last night." She said, looking at him.
They were quiet for a moment. The light turned green and Gabby head down the street.
"Y' got a boyfriend?" Remy asked, noticing Gabby's eyes widened and her uncomfortable gesture. "Jus' makin' small talk, chere."
Letting out a nervous chuckle, she shook her head. "No, I don't have a boyfriend." She said, looking at him before looking back at the road. "Do you... have a girlfriend?"
"Non." He said, resting his elbow on the window. "Not anymore."
"I see." She said as she turned on the street where the garage was, not pushing the subject.
"Where de hotels at?" He asked, looking at her as she pulled into the garage's driveway.
"They're about twenty minutes west." She said as she killed the engine and they both got out of the car. "Cheapest motel is the one by a bar called The Sink. It's pretty rough and full of STDs. I'm pretty sure people go there just to sleep with each other."
Remy chuckled. "Noted." He said, knowing full well he'd check out this bar later to get a beer and maybe some action.
"Wha' y' usually do after work?" He asked, taking his duster off and hanging it back up where he had it before.
Gabby's eyes dipped to his rear, noticing his worn jeans hug him ever so nicely. "Usually?" She asked, her eyes darting up to his face when he turned around. "I take a nap."
Placing his hands on his hip, Remy smirked. "Y' gonna do dat now?" He asked.
Shaking her head, Gabby leaned against one of the work benches. "I'll skip it today. I'm off tomorrow, since it's Saturday." She said, her eyes taking all of him in.
Remy chuckled to himself as he walked closer to her. "Y' papa work on de weekends?" He asked, walking to the garage entrance and taking out his cigarettes.
"Not usually." Gabby said, watching Remy take out a cigarette and touching the end of it with his bare finger, lighting it up. "How did you do that?"
Giving her a playful smirk, Remy took a long drag, making sure the embers were nice and bright before blowing the smoke out of the garage. "M' mutant ability." He said, turning to her. "Don' jus' got t'ese fucked up eyes."
Walking up to him, she looked at the end of the cigarette before she reached up and took his glasses off. Remy didn't protest as he took the cigarette in his hand and looked down into her eyes.
"Dey usually scare ever'one." He said, lowering his voice as she looked him in the eye.
"I think they're beautiful." She said, suddenly blushing as she realized how close she was actually standing to him. "I mean, I've never met a mutant before." She moved several steps back.
"Dat y' know of." Remy said with a smirk, taking another drag of the cigarette.
"What's it like?" Gabby asked. "Being a mutant, I mean."
"Don' know how t' answer dat." He said, letting the smoke slowly roll out of his lungs, watching the rain start up again. "Dis by m' life, chere."
"Right. That was stupid. Sorry." She kicked herself mentally.
"Non ce n'était pas." He said, looking at her. "Wasn' stupid. Y' jus' curieuse. I like de questions."
Gabby smiled as she walked over and stood beside him. "I guess what I was asking was, how do you feel living with...us?"
"Normal people?" He asked, knowing she was trying hard not to offend him.
"That's not what I meant!" Gabby tried to defend herself, suddenly seeing a playful smirk on his face.
"Listen, petit. Need t' calm down. I ain' offended by anyt'in' y' askin'. Got a t'ick skin, no?" He said taking another long drag, before flicking the cigarette butt in a nearby puddle and turning to her. "Living wit' y'," He used the quote gesture with his fingers. "Normal people ain' all bad. Got t' meet some amazin' people."
Gabby knew she was bright red. "I guess that isn't a bad thing." She said, watching him walk by her.
Her eyes dipped down again. Damn it. This man was something else.
"So, tell me." Remy said, walking over and cleaning one of the workbenches. "Why don' y' got a boyfriend? Y' be a belle femme, no?"
"A what?" Gabby asked, raising an eyebrow as she saw him look back at her and smirk.
"A beautiful woman." He said, turning to face her as he cleaned a greased up tool. "Y' a beautiful woman, chere. Why don' y' got a boyfriend?"
"I..." She couldn't say anything, but didn't have to as David pulled up in his truck.
Setting the tool down, Remy walked over and took the box from David before he got out. "Thanks." David said as they walked into the garage. "You're still here? No nap?"
Gabby shook her head. "It's Friday. I'll sleep in tomorrow." She said, watching Remy and looking at his muscles flex as he walked over and placed the box on the workbench he just cleared.
"Speaking of." David said as he turned to Gabby. "What movie did you wanna rent tonight?"
"Oh, I haven't even thought about that." She said, looking at her Dad. "Let me think about it."
"Just let me know." David said with a smile before he looked at Remy. "Next appointment should be here any time."
Working steadily for the rest of the day it was time to head home. Closing up the shop, Remy hopped in David's truck and they head back to their trailer. Upon arriving, Remy walked over to his bike and straddled it, placing the keys in the ignition.
"You want to join us for dinner and our movie night?" David asked, getting Remy's attention.
"T'ink I sit dis one out. Don' wanna intrude on y' fat'er daughter night." Remy said as he watched David each back into his pocket and pull out his wallet.
"Alright. Here's your pay for today." David said handing him one hundred dollars. "The extra is for taking care of Teri. I appreciate you jumping in and helping out."
"Merci." He said, taking his own wallet out and placing the cash inside. "I'ma go find a motel. I let y' know where. When de next workin' day?"
"Monday." David said giving him a friendly clap on the shoulder. "Have a good weekend and feel free to drop by any time."
"T'anks, mon ami." Remy said, roaring the engine of his motorcycle before driving off toward town.
He head toward the bar Gabby told him about. He'd get a room at the motel, first. He needed to be prepared if he had a friend over tonight. Finally reaching the motel, Remy got off the bike and took a look at the place. It didn't look too bad on the outside, but he even knew looks could be deceiving.
Heading inside, an older woman was at the counter crocheting. She looked up at him and immediately stopped.
"Well, hello there gorgeous." She said with a smile. "What can I do for you?"
Giving her a smirk, Remy layed on the charm. "I be in town fo' work. Not sure how long I be stayin'. Jus' need me a place t' rest m' bones. Got cash." He said, seeing the woman look at his mouth.
"Sure, I got a room for you." She said, turning around and grabbing a key. "Two oh seven. Twenty bucks a night."
"Merci." He said, handing the twenty dollar bill to her.
"Will you be needing room service?" She asked.
"Non." He said turning and placing his hand on the door. "T'anks again, chere." He winked at her as he left the office.
His room wasn't far from the office, but it was upstairs. Locking the handle bars of his bike, he took the satchel and head up the stairs to his room. Unlocking the door, Remy opened the door to see a bed, a table for two, and a bathroom. It was more than what he was expecting. Placing the satchel on the bed, Remy went and took a quick shower before he left and head to The Sink.
"Oh my god!" Remy smiled at the woman's pleasurable moans.
She was all over him at the bar and he couldn't resist the thought of getting laid, so here they were. Back at his motel room, fucking.
"I'm coming again!" The woman screamed as she grabbed his hair in her fists. "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oooohhhh yeeeeesss!"
Grabbing her hands, Remy pinned them back against the bed and shut her up with a kiss as he got rougher. The bed frame banged against the wall with each thrust and the the mattress springs were squeaking underneath them. They had been at it for a good while and his abs were getting a workout. He was spent and it was time.
"I'm gonna come." Remy huskily said into her right ear as he pounded harder before he slammed one last time inside her and let out a satisfied moan.
"Oh my god." The woman said as he collapsed on top of her. "That was so amazing."
"Glad y' approve." He said, trying to catch his breath as he sat up and took the condom off, throwing it in the trash by the bed. "Feel free t' stay all night."
The woman smiled as she sat up and kissed him. "I would, but I've got a deadline to meet. It's the price of being a truck driver." She said, kissing him again as she let her hands run down his chest.
Looking over her beautiful face, he placed his hand on the back of her neck and caressed it gently. "Y' too beautiful t' be a truck driver, chere." He said leaning in and kissing her.
The woman chuckled. "Well, it pays the bills." She said as she kissed him one last time before getting off the bed. "Mind if I shower?"
"Not at all." He said, lying back on the bed and watching her naked figure head into the bathroom.
It had been months since he had gotten laid and tonight was needed. She definitely had done this before. Resting his hands behind his head, he waited for her to return from the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later, she walked out drying her hair with the towel.
"Thanks again for the romp." She said as she got dressed. "Hope we meet again."
"Same." He said as he stood and kissed her one last time before she left his room.
Letting out a satisfied sigh, he locked the door before heading into the bathroom for a shower of his own. Turning the water on, he smiled. He had swiped the woman's cash from her wallet when they were still at the bar and she was distracted by his charm. Now he was set for a while.
"Gotta keep m' skills sharp." He said to himself as he got in and let the hot water refresh him.
After drying off, Remy checked the time. It was almost two in the morning and he had worked up an appetite. Surly there was an all night diner around here. Grabbing his wallet, now full of cash, he grabbed his biker jacket and tied the red bandanna around his head before heading out of his room.
He found a place not far and saw that it was empty. Walking in, the two older ladies looked his way before talking with each other as to who was going to serve him.
Walking to a booth, Remy sat down and watched as the older of the two walked toward him. "Heya honey." She said taking out her note pad. "What can I get for you?"
"Bacon cheese burger wit' all de fixin's and a water." He said smiling up at the lady as she wrote it down.
"How do you want your burger cooked?" She asked.
"Medium." He said as she turned and head toward the kitchen.
Taking out his wallet, he counted the cash he had. Over three hundred dollars. He'd have to visit The Sink more often if all the female truck drivers looked like the one he met. What was her name again...? Betty? Brittany? It didn't matter. Pocketing his wallet he looked out the window and saw there was no one on the streets.
No one.
This town completely shut down at night.
"Here's your water, sweetie." The older lady said, placing it in front of him.
"Merci." He said, seeing her cock her eyebrow.
"Whatever." She said as she head back over to her coworker.
'T'ese femmes be bitchy.' He thought to himself as he took a sip of water and almost spit it back into the cup. 'Wha' de hell his dis shit?' He raised his hand and for the lady's attention. "Pardon. May I get a coke instead?" He asked politely.
The woman sighed as she took the water and dumped it out before filling the same glass with a little ice and filling the cup with soda from the machine behind the counter.
"There you go." She said, heading back to the other girl.
"T'ank you." He called out to her as he sat back and waited for his burger to arrive.
He was going to eat, pay and get the fuck out of that rude ass diner.
Putting her hair up into a ponytail, Gabby head out of her room to find her dad making breakfast. "Morning, daddy." She said, causing him to turn around and smile.
"Morning!" He said as he poured the scrambled eggs into a bowl. "This is done if you want to set the table."
Walking into the kitchen, Gabby grabbed two plates and two forks before placing them on the table. Dishing the food out, they sat down and began to eat.
"What do you think of Remy?" David asked.
Gabby almost choked, but she played it cool. "What do you mean?" She asked.
David smirked. "I saw the way you were looking at him yesterday." He said, taking another bite. "He's a good looking young man."
"Daddy please. We aren't talking about this." She said. "I don't even know him."
He chuckled as he watched her take another bite. "Sure, honey." He said as they continued to eat their breakfast.
A knock on their door made them look at each other. "I'll get it." Gabby said as she stood.
Opening the door she saw Remy standing before her in a pair of fitted, torn jeans and a white tank top under his black leather biker jacket. He had his hair tied up in a messy bun and strands were falling into his face. He looked delicious with that smile on his face.
"Bonjour." He said, taking his sunglasses off and looking into her eyes.
"H-high." She said with a smile.
Why was she breathless? God damn this man.
Standing there, he lightly chuckled. "May I come in?" He asked, seeing Gabby snap out of whatever she was thinking.
"Oh! Right! Please!" She said moving out of the way so he could enter.
"I thought I heard a motorcycle!" David said as he stood and shook his hand. "Are you hungry?"
"Non. T'anks, t'ough." He said placing his hands in the pockets of his jeans. "Jus' lettin' y' know where I be stayin', in case y' need t' stop by. Andies Motel by De Sink bar. Two oh seven."
"The Sink?" David asked. "Why not a hotel? That motel is a trashy place."
"It ain' no fo' star, but it be a place t' res' m' head. Cheap, too." Remy said as he looked back at Gabby. "Finish yo' breakfast, s'il vous plaît."
Gabby sat down and tried not to glance at him. Instead, she looked at her Dad who was smiling at her. He knew what she was thinking.
"Anyway, wanted t' stop by and let y' know. I'm headin' t' de grocery store. Gotta pick up some t'ings." Remy said, looking down at Gabby.
"Mm!" David finished his bite before he looked at Gabby. "Go with him. I'll get you my list."
"What?" Gabby asked.
"We were going to go to the store today, might as well go with him." David said.
"Don' mind de company." Remy shrugged, giving Gabby a smirk. "Please, finish yo' breakfast. I ain' in no hurry."
After finishing up, Remy went with Gabby to the grocery store. Getting out, they head to the entrance and grabbed a push cart before starting their shopping.
"Okay, Dad wants more eggs. That's over there." Gabby said to herself as she turned the cart to the left.
Following, Remy put his hands in his pockets as he looked Gabby's backside over while she walked ahead of him. She had nice curves and today she wasn't covering them with a horrible coat.
"If you need to grab what you came for, feel free. I'm just going down this list." Gabby said, opening a carton of eggs and making sure they weren't broken.
Watching her lips silently say words as she inspected each egg, Remy smiled as he leaned against the cart handles. "Like I said, ain' in no hurry." He said, seeing her glance at him before setting the carton in the basket. "I push it."
"Alright. Thanks." She said as she marked eggs off of the list David had given her.
"What be next, petit?" He asked, seeing her look for the appropriate aisle.
"Ground black pepper." She said, turning around and pointing. "There."
Turning the cart around, Remy followed behind her and they head to where the spices were. She looked for the brand they always got and placed it in the cart before marking it off her list. Following her around the store, he smiled at how adorable she looked, studying the list and marking the things off that she placed in the basket. They had to get a lot of things. The cart was filling up.
Placing the tuna in the cart, Gabby crossed it off the list and looked up at Remy. "Done." She said with a smile. "Now your turn."
Pushing the cart, Remy walked over to the shampoo aisle and grabbed a bottle of shampoo, deodorant and a bar of soap. Gabby followed behind him as he head to an aisle she never went down and froze when she watched him grab a small box of condoms.
"W-why do you need those?" She asked, seeing him look back at her and smirk.
"Gotta be prepared, no?" He said, seeing how unsettling it was for her. "Wha's wrong?"
"Nothing." She said, her face red from being in that section.
"Not'in' t' be embarrassed 'bout." He said as they head to the open checkout lane and he placed his items down on the conveyor belt. "Dey make t'ese fo' dat reason an' ot'ers."
"Well, yeah." She said, unloading the cart, placing the separator between her items and Remy's. "I just don't know why you need them. Are you planning on sleeping with someone?"
Looking down at her, he cocked his eyebrow before he gave her a smirk. "Dat depends." He said, seeing her cheeks redden as the cashier started to ring up his items.
"Good morning, how are you?" The lady asked as she placed the items in a paper bag.
"I be fantastique. How 'bout y' chere?" He asked, seeing the lady look up at him and smile.
"I'm quite well, thank you." She said, pressing a button. "Eight twenty-four, hun." She said with a smile.
Taking his wallet out, Remy took a twenty and handed it to the lady. "T'ere y' are." He said, seeing he had brightened her day.
"And here is your change." The cashier said, handing him the amount. "Have a wonderful weekend."
"Y' do de same." Remy said, taking the paper bag and hanging out as the cashier rang up Gabby's items.
The cashier looked at Remy before she looked back at Gabby. "And how are you, young lady?" She asked.
"I'm good, thank you." Gabby said, glancing at Remy before she looked back at the cashier.
After ringing all the items up, the lady smiled at Gabby. "Seventy-three sixty-two." She said.
"Here you are." Gabby said, handing the lady the money.
"Alright." She said, typing in the amount as the register popped open and she got the change. "And here you are. You two have a good weekend."
Placing the groceries in the cart, she pushed it toward the exit. As the doors opened, they head toward the truck, but she froze when she felt a hand on her lower back.
"I got de cart." Remy said, taking over the pushing as they kept walking to the truck.
When they reached it, Remy put all the groceries in the bed before pushing the cart to the stall and returning to the passenger seat. Buckling up, he looked at Gabby and saw she was glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Wha's wrong?" He asked. "Y' still worked up about de condoms?"
Gabby shook her head. "No, no." She quickly said, swallowing hard. "I just, I mean... Have you had sex before?"
Giving her a playful smirk, Remy sat back comfortably as he rest his elbow on the window. "O' course. Plenty o' times." He said seeing how out of place Gabby felt. "Wha' 'bout y'?"
"No." Gabby quickly said and then shook her head. "Well... sort of."
Narrowing his gaze, he let out a chuckle. "Y' don' sorta have sex, chere. Y' either do or y' don'." He said, seeing her let out a deep breath.
"It was oral." She said, looking at him.
"When was dis?" He asked, losing the smile.
"Two years ago." She said, looking at the steering wheel. "My dad doesn't know, so don't you dare tell him."
Putting his hands up, Remy crossed his heart with his left index finger. "Hope t' die." He said, seeing her relax at his playful gesture. "Secret's safe wit' me. I got plen'y o' dem, m'self."
Starting up the truck, they head back toward the trailer to unload the groceries.
