The mechanic wrinkles her nose as she lifts up the hood of the car, releasing a large cloud of steam into the air. "Good thing you brought your car here. Your engine's pretty hot."
"So are you."
The taller girl's cheeks pink at Taylor's statement. She says nothing in response as she turns back to the steaming engine in Taylor's car.
Taylor mentally smacks herself across the face. Idiot, she chides. Of course her big mouth had to blurt her stupid thoughts aloud.
But in her mouth's defence, the mechanic in front of her was absolutely gorgeous.
The mechanic, Karlie, was by far, one of the most beautiful people Taylor had ever seen. She had long honey-coloured hair, legs longer than Taylor's attention span, cheekbones sharp enough to cut a man, a bright grin that could only be described as sunshine... And not mention, captivating green eyes that always seemed to sparkle.
Yep, she was definitely Taylor's type.
If Taylor had seen her in a grocery store or across the street somewhere (not that she'd ever be that lucky in life), she would've immediately assumed Karlie to be a model.
Maybe she's just biased, but with looks like that, it was a fair assumption. Karlie looks like she's destined for the cover of Vogue rather than fixing cars at some automobile repair shop.
But Taylor isn't exactly complaining. A six feet tall girl wielding a wrench? Sign me up.
"So, what happened?" Karlie asks, her cheeks still flushed from Taylor's compliment as she examines the complicated machinery in font of her.
"I was driving back home, then all of a sudden, smoke started billowing out from the hood and I drove to the nearest repair shop I could find." Taylor says truthfully. She may or may not have left out the part about her singing along with the radio loudly like a complete loser.
Karlie nods silently, her green eyes fixed on the engine attentively. For some irrational reason, Taylor feels a slight twinge of envy. A small part of her wishes that she could capture Karlie's attention like that.
What the hell, Taylor? You're jealous of a car engine. Pull yourself together.
Karlie states, "There seems to be a leak in your radiator. Most of the coolant has leaked out and due to the lack of it, your car has been overheating. Basically, you're gonna need a new one."
