Warnings: Language! Grumpy Curtis!
You were exhausted. It had been a long day at work. Yes you absolutely loved your job, looking after the sick and injured. It was incredibly rewarding but god it could be tiring.
You were walking through the staff parking lot with your best friend and colleague Mollie. It had become tradition for the two of you to exchange stories post shift as you walked back to your car.
"You really should scrap that piece of junk" Mollie comments nodding to your car.
It stuck out like a sore thumb in a parking lot full of nice, fancy cars. It was probably older than you were and it had more things broken than it did working.
"I know but I dunno me and Dougie have been through a lot, plus I don't think I could afford a better car" you sigh shrugging your shoulders.
"It's a death trap" Mollie states glancing over at you.
"But it's my death trap" you point out making her roll her eyes at you.
"Right well as much as I'd love to discuss your crappy car some more there's a bottle of wine with my name on it at home" Mollie says patting your shoulder.
"Have fun" you chuckle unlocking your car.
You throw your purse onto the passenger seat as you climb in. You go to start your car but all it does is splutter and die. You try a couple more times but nothing. Groaning in annoyance you grab your phone.
"Hey Mols, you wouldn't happen to have a number for a garage would you?" You sigh when she picks up.
"Sure I'll text you the number, do you need a lift?" she asks you.
"Yes please" you say hopefully.
"Fine but you owe me a bottle of wine" she agrees.
About 45 minutes of waiting later a tow truck with the name 'Tail-end Motors' on the side pulled up in front of you. A tall man jumps out of the truck with a huff before walking over.
"You the ones with the broken car?" He asks glancing between the two of you.
"Um yeah, that one" you say pointing over to your car.
"Hm shoulda guessed" he huffs walking over to it.
You watched as he popped the hood and started looking over the engine. He was covered in grease and grim, it was even on his face. However it just made his icy blue eyes even more dramatic. He tinkers with the engine for a few moments before going to try and start the car only for it to cough and die again. He sighs pulling off his black beanie running his hand over his buzz cut length hair before scratching his beard.
"I'm gonna have to take this into the shop to get a full diagnosis" He sighs turning back around to face you.
"Oh okay" you say nodding quickly.
"I can tow it in, do you have a way home?" He asks rubbing his hands on his dirty grey top.
"Yep, world number one best friend right here" Mollie says holding up her hand smiling.
The man just nods, barely acknowledging her. He looks back over at you making you gulp slightly under his cool gaze.
"Swing by the shop tomorrow and I'll let you know the damage" he tells you.
"Um oh yeah sure thank you" you nod smiling up at him nervously.
He nods in acknowledgement before turning to move the tow truck into position.
"I'm Y/N by the way!" You call out suddenly ignoring the look Mollie gave you.
"Curtis" he huffs not looking over at you as he continues to work.
