Dalton has done a lot of wrong in his past. Nicolette is the type of woman who sees no wrongdoing in others. What happens when they cross each other's paths? Will Nicolette's father be as understanding as she is? Or will they fall apart?
Today is a shit show to say the least. I was on my way to take my dad his lunch he forgot at home, when my car broke down on me. I can't win for losing. It was running fine all week and for some reason when I was away from the house, it had a funny sound coming from it. Then all of a sudden, it puttered and the engine died. It wouldn't crack back over, lights wouldn't come on or anything. I call the mechanic shop where I have had work done to it and they are sending a flat bed to pick it up and bring it back. I tried calling daddy but he must be busy at work. So I told him to meet me at the body shop when he can. As I'm sitting here trying not to cry, I hear the tow truck pull up. Then I look up and I see the hottest man alive step out of it. I'm in all sorts of trouble with him.

~Dalton~ Hi I hear you need your car towed back to the garage? ~Nicolette~ I heard a funny noise coming from it. Then it began to putter and all of a sudden it died. Won't crack over or anything. Lights won't come on anything. ~Dalton~ Yeah well when we get it back to the garage, Bud will take a look at it and see what's wrong with it. Hopefully it won't be down for long. ~Nicolette~ Yeah one can only hope.
I grab my purse out the car and he proceeds to get the car loaded up on the back of the tow truck.
~Dalton~ Alright Darlin let's get you and your car back to the garage... ~Nicolette~ Thanks. I appreciate it a lot. I had 6 cars pass by me and none stopped to make sure I was okay or anything. None made sure I had a truck called or nothing. It sucked balls. ~Dalton~ Well good thing they didn't. Some of those guys could of been creeps or could of hurt you.
He's Right

Dalton's POV
Bud told me I needed to head out and pick up a car that broke down on a lady. When I arrived on scene, I wasn't expecting a lady as gorgeous as she was to be sitting there. She looked extremely defeated with everything. She said nobody made sure she was okay or anything. I reminded her that those guys probably weren't good guys or anything.
~Dalton~ I'm Dalton ~Nicolette~ I'm Nicolette or Lettie ~Dalton~ Beautiful name. Have you lived here long? ~Nicolette~ My whole life, what about you?
Shit not that I wanted to keep it from her but I won't lie about my past.
~Dalton~ I just got out of prison for doing some dumb shit when I was younger with drugs and alcohol. When I went to jail I decided that I was basically getting a second chance at life and didn't want to of drugs or drink anymore. I got out and got a job working here. It was hard because I have the arrest on my record but Bud here gave me a chance to do right. ~Nicolette~ Bud is a nice guy. He is all about giving those who deserve them second chances. ~Dalton~ He definitely is. Well we are here now and you can call your father to pick you up. Bud or I will call you when we know something about your car. ~Nicolette~ Thank you!
She walks over to our small seating area and pulls out her phone as it rings.
****** Nicolette's POV
I legitimately loved my time talking to Dalton. He had a rough past but he's doing everything he needs to be doing right this go around. He seems to be in a good place now and I'm happy that Bud gave him the second chance in life. I pull out my phone and see that daddy is calling me back.
Phone Conversation ~Nicolette~ Hello? ~Sheriff~ Hey pumpkin, I just got your message from this morning. What happened with your car? ~Nicolette~ I heard a funny sound coming from it and about 5 minutes later it puttered and stopped. I had gas in it. I tried starting it up again and it wouldn't. Nothing turned on or anything. I called Bud and he sent one of his workers to pick it up. I'm at his shop now. ~Sheriff~ I will be there in five to get you home. Be safe. ~Nicolette~ Yes daddy
I hang up the phone with my dad and wait for him. Sure to his word, he was here in exactly five minutes.
~Sheriff~ You good? ~Nicolette~ I'm perfectly fine daddy.. ~Sheriff~ Whose that guy that was talking to you when I pulled in? ~Nicolette~ That's Dalton. Bud hired him a few weeks ago I believe. Why what's up? ~Sheriff~ He was in jail... ~Nicolette~ I know he told me about it. ~Sheriff~ What else did he tell you?? ~Nicolette~ He's clean and sober since he went to jail and has been ever since he went to work for Bud. ~Sheriff~ I don't anyone could change like that and not do any drugs or drink... ~Nicolette~ People change daddy. You taught me to give people a second chance. ~Sheriff~ I did. Just be careful please? ~Nicolette~ Always am daddy...

Daddy drops me off at our house after he picked me up. I just hope daddy gives Dalton a chance and doesn't try to control me.
