The Mechanics Girlfriend

Where It All Began

"Damn it!"

Korra slammed her hands against the steering wheel of her car as it sputtered and stopped completley.

Slamming the door in anger, she got out and walked around the car, popping the hood open and propped it up, looking inside.

"Piece of shit car, today is the absolute worse day you could possibly decide to break down."

Korra had a meeting to get too, and now she was 5 minutes late. She was the CEO of electronics, knowing everything from working with computers to designing whole new products.

"Hey, I saw your car start to slow down and make a horrible grinding noise. It's probably something with the engine."

Korra whirled around, her heart beating fast as she stared into the green eyes of a dark haired girl.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I own a shop, I can get your car there and have it looked at if you want?"

Korra eyed the girl suspiciously. She had long curly dark hair, and kind green eyes. She was tall, and covered in grease. It wasn't a bad look for her, she was already stunning.

"Uh...yeah, I guess but I still need a way to get to work. I'm already really late."

The girl with the kind green eyes smiled, showing a mouthful of straight white teeth.

"I have a car, I can get you there no problem."

The girl motioned for Korra to follow her, walking behind Korra's car to a new looking dark blue charger. It was the most beautiful car Korra had ever seen.

"Well what are you waiting for? You're already late."

The dark haired girl started the engine and revved the engine, grinning at the sound of it.

Korra fiddled with the edge of her black button up shirt nervously, but climbed into the passenger seat of the car.

As the mechanic started driving along, she subtly started checking out the blue eyed girl.

"So, what's your name?"

"I'm Korra, CEO of electronics. What's yours?"

"I'm Asami, I'm obviously a mechanic. I apologize for my filthy clothes, I was just on my way back from fixing one of my old race cars."

Korra looked over at Asami.

"You have race cars?"

Asami chuckled at the question. "Hell yeah, I love that kind of stuff."

Korra nodded, seemingly lost in thought as Asami drove along.

"Oh, the building up ahead is where my stop is, Thanks for the ride. I appreciate it."

"No problem. I'll have your car fixed up by this afternoon, so I'll swing by later and pick you up a after work. What time do you get done?"

"Usually around 7, if I'm not right out I'll be out shortly."

Korra gave a small wave to Asami as she hurried into the building, worried that she had missed the meeting.

"Korra, where the hell were you? You were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago."

Mako's eyebrows where drawn together in frustration, his body language tense and angry.

"My car broke down and I had to find a ride, don't get your panties up in a bunch Mako."

Korra wasn't ready to deal with her ex right now, much less be bossed around by him.

He ran a hand through his short dark hair.
