HIS MISTRESS

Heartbroken

Jaime parked the truck in front of his workshop. He got down from the truck, turned around and also helped Alexa get down.

" I didn't know you were a mechanic" Alexa said as she walked behind him.

" How do you think I knew what was wrong with your car?" Jaime responded and walked inside the workshop.

" Wow! Who's the beautiful lady?" Benjo, one of the guy that worked with Jaime at the workshop asked.

Alexa completely ignored him and went to sit on a bench next to where Jaime stood.

Benjo walked over to Jaime " Who is she? What does she want?" He asked staring at Alexa

" Her car broke down by the road side, I'd go over later to check it" Jaime answered.

Benjo nodded. He walked away and came back later with a bottle of water.

" Here, have some water"

Alexa looked at him. " No"

" Why?"

" You're dirty" She said. " Stay away from me"'

Benjo's smile slipped and Jaime chuckled. " Let her be Benjo, she's not thirsty "

Benjo dropped the bottle of water on a table next to her and walked back to the truck he was fixing.

Alexa stayed there for a while, watching as Jaime did his work. After some time, she and Jaime returned to check on her car.

" Come on, start the engine now" Jaime said closing the bonnet of the car. Alexa got into the car and started the engine.

" Oh my god " She laughed and came down from the car. " Thank you so much " She hugged him.

Jaime was shocked at how fast she jumped on him. Does she go around jumping on people when she's happy? He thought.

" It's okay.... it's okay" He said releasing himself from her tight hug.

Alexa freed him. " So how much do I pay you?" She asked him.

" Don't worry about it " Jaime said.

" Really?" She asked. " I can pay any amount "

" It's fine" Jaime said. " You should go now. It's getting late "

" Can I get your number?" She asked bringing out her phone from her purse

" Why?"

Alexa didn't know what to say. She wanted his number so she could always call him but she didn't want to tell him that.

" You know.....just incase my car breaks down next time" She said.

" But you know the way to my workshop, you can just come there" Jaime told her.

" No I don't"

" You don't?"

" Yes. Actually I'm suffering from quick memory loss, I tend to forget things easily"  Alexa lied

Jaime was shocked. " Memory loss? Are you that old?"

" Of course not" She answered" I'm just  twenty one "

Jaime stared at her. He wasn't sure if he believed her. " Memory loss huh?" He said. " But you remember the way home"

" Just gimme your number would you?" Alexa said to him getting tired of him playing hard to get.

Jaime took her phone and dialed in his number.

" Great" She said collecting the phone. " I'd call you" She said and hopped into her car. She stuck her hand out of the window and waved at him.
