Jim is running out of excuses to talk to the cute mechanic down the road. He's given his truck tyres so many punctures he might as well buy new ones. When he's caught red handed, in the...
Jim felt like a pile of shit at the side of the road that everybody seemed to go around. His temper seemed to go from zero to a hundred real quick these days.
Jim's office door swung open and Jim was ready to run whoever it was out when he came face to face with Beau's sister Jane.
"J-Jane!" Jim got out, "What are you doing here?" Jim asked taking in Jane's mismatched outfit. Who even wears yellow and red together?
"What's up with you and my brother? He hasn't gone to work since last week and he calls your name in his sleep," she sits with her legs wide open in the guest chair in front of Jim's desk.
Jim furrowed his brows in confusion, "Huh?"
"What did you do to my brother Jim? Did you break his heart?" Jane glares daggers at Jim.
"What? No! It's the other way around. Your douche bag brother broke my heart," Jim defends himself and tilted his head at Jane who frowns at him.
"Huh? I'd swear you hurt his feelings with the way he mopes around and looks as if he cries all day," Jane mumbles.
"Any who bye," she stands and Jim flies out of his chair to grab Jane's arm.
"Jane please help me," Jim pleads and Jane smiles a little.
"With what Jim?" Jane asks pulling out of Jim's hold.
"I love Beau Jane," Jim sighs and Jane just quirks a brow at Jim.
"I just don't know how to prove it to him," Jim mumbles and went on to tell Jane how he used to air down his tyres just to talk to Beau and how Beau had caught him in the act red-handed. He told her how he punctured two of Beau's tyres and their argument on the side of the road and how he left Beau there when he figured out Beau didn't like him except for a romp in the sheets.
"Oh, Beau likes you Jim," Jane scoffs and Jim sucked his teeth at her.
"Yea right. Beau hates my guts," Jim exhales tiredly.
"No really. Beau likes you Jim. Beau is just scared Jim. We had a rough childhood and that scarred Beau a bit but I can tell he really likes you," Jane says giving Jim a sliver of hope.
"I love him Jane. So much," Jim says sadly and Jane tilts his chin up with her fingers.
"Then prove it to him," Jane whispers with a little smile.
"How?" Jim cries, "I don't know a thing about him!" Jane shook her head and smiled again.
"Fine, I'll help a bit," she groaned and Jim looks at her hopefully.
"Beau likes out of space stuff. Like planets and stars and he always says if he got the chance he'd move to Mars" Jane says, "Dunno what you can do with that but good luck," Jane leaves Jim thinking hard about that piece of information.
Then Jim smiles like a loon, an idea forming in his mind of what he can do to prove to Beau he really loves him.
