It took us fifteen minutes to reach the garage. For those fifteen minutes Cole and Wyatt tried their best to distract me but my thoughts were in the past. When we arrived at the garage I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sight before me. You would think that I had never seen a garage before today, but I had. Its just been a lifetime. It wasn't a very isolated place. It seemed to be surrounded by a small forest of trees. There were a couple of houses nearby which I learned from Wyatt was owned by the garage owner and the assistant manager. 
As we pulled up in front of the garage I immediately noticed a man outside working on an engine of a Bentley. Power seemed to ooze off this man. I could clearly see his defined muscles.

Wyatt and Cole were the first to exit the car and I followed soon after. The man must have heard the banging of the car doors as he looked over at us. I was awestruck at his appearance. He had light brown hair and amazing brown eyes. When he stood to his full height I knew he was easily taller than me. It was clear that he worked out often.

I seemed to be stuck in this haze as he walked towards us. He seemed to know Wyatt as they immediately did one of those bro-hugs.

After they patted each other on the back, Wyatt finally introduced us to him.

"Cole, Sky, this is Ace Patterson. He owns this garage. Ace, these are my cousins and your new employees Cole and Skylar." As Wyatt explained this he threw his arms around my twin and I.

"It's nice to meet you both. Toni and Wyatt often speak highly of the two of you. I was deeply impressed by your history with cars." He seems to keep his attention on me as he says this and is quick to send me a heart melting smile as he finishes talking. I shyly smile back but quickly send a glare towards Wyatt, unhappy about Toni and Wyatt speaking about me to a stranger who I have only just met. Cole seems a bit annoyed at this fact too. We were alike in this way as we both liked to keep our lives private.

Coming out of the daze that Ace seemed to have put me in again, I take note that Cole was leading me towards the garage. I stiffen but Cole must have noticed as he puts his arm around my shoulders in an attempt to comfort me. Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a flash of concern in Ace's eyes but I chose to ignore it. I vaguely hear them talking about the four other people who work here but I could only concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other.       As the four of us enter the side door of the garage I hear the loud banging of metal and the faint sound of the radio playing. Still trapped in my head, I don't hear the sound of banging metal stop. 

It is only when I hear Wyatt say mine and Coles name, introducing us to the others, that I look up and see four very curious eyes trained on me.

I feel my eyes widen as I scan the four men in front of me. All four of them had built bodies and like Ace, they could easily tower over me as they were all tall. 

One of them, now leaning against the wall, looked around the same age as Ace. He had black hair and his grey eyes held a sadness that I wished to help take away. Another, now messing with the radio, trying to turn it off, had platinum blonde hair and these sea blue eyes. A man, currently walking towards us, had blonde hair and green eyes. The last man, who looked younger then all the rest, had now decided to ignore everyone and went back to the car he seemed to be attempting to fixing. He had black hair and blue eyes and seemed to be the bad-ass of the group.

The man who walked up to us looked curiously at Cole and I before he turned in the direction of Ace and Wyatt.
"Wyatt? It's good to see you again. Ace was telling all of us last week that you and your two cousins were gonna be working here part time. It's about time you started putting your car skills to work. And I'm guessing this is Cole and Sky." He said as he looked toward us. "I'm Raiden Sterling. It's a pleasure to meet you." As he said the last sentence he sent a flirtatious wink towards me. I laughed in my head as I realized who the flirt in this group is. I quickly looked away and noticed that the man who was leaning against the wall and the man who had successfully turned the radio off, were now heading towards us or more specifically, straight towards me. 

"You must be Skylar. I'm Hunter Reyes, the assistant manager." The man with black hair and sad grey eyes said and then gives me a quick smile. 
The other man then introduces himself. "I'm Isaac, Raiden's younger brother. It's nice to finally meet you Skylar. Oh! And the grunch working on the car in the back is Dominic Adams. He's the youngest out of the five of us." I take a glance towards Dominic but I'm quick to look away as I note the glare he's sending my way. I look back at Ace as he starts to talk. "So, what are you doing here? You all don't start work here for a few days."
Wyatt is the one who replied. "I thought it would be a good idea to show Sky and Cole where they'd be working and introduce them to the group. I think it's time we left though, you all seem busy." He then sent a glare towards Dominic.

Ace seemed to understand as he nodded his head and sent a glare of his own towards Dominic. I looked towards Cole in confusion but he seemed to be just as confused as he just shrugged his shoulders.

Suddenly someone hugged me from behind. "Does Skylar have to go?! Can she not stay for a while?" I smile as I realize it's Raiden who's hugging me. However, he's quickly pulled off me by Cole who sends a menacing look towards all five of them before dragging me off towards the car. Wyatt soon follows, laughing as he walks. I roll my eyes but find it impossible to keep the smile off my face as we head back to the house. As I look out at the scenery passing by I think of how calm I felt in Raidens arms, even if it was just for a second. I sigh as I rest my head against the car window and close my eyes, suddenly feeling exhausted. As I open my eyes one last time I think of that glare Dominic sent towards me.
