Running into Love

Chapter 10

The next few days seemed to drag on, my workload seeming to pile higher and higher on my desk, my stress levels climbing. The only thing keeping me sane was counting down the days till I could see Jessie again. We had been texting back and forth about the most random stuff, getting to know each other more and more. The more I got to know him the more I wanted to be with him. 

Jessie: what is your fav colour? Mines is Red :) 

Jane: Blue :) What’s your fav fruit?

 Jessie: Umm Apples, Red ones only. You? 

Jane: Mangos! Fav type of food? Mines is probably pizza.

Jessie: Ummm that’s a hard one… probably a good burger. Best type of car? I would say a EJ Holden.

Jane: Nice :) I would say a Volkswagen Beetle. I love mine to death.

Jessie: You have a Beetle? What year is it?

Jane: Yeh I do and I love it! Ummm 1972 and its bright blue :) 

Jessie: Awesome! You will have to take me for a drive some time :) 

Jane: I will do :) Do you have any siblings?

Jessie: Fantastic :) Yeh 1 older sister, Gemma. She is 20 and a uni student. You?

Jane: 1 younger brother, Luke. He is 17 and doing his last year of schooling. Any pets?

Jessie: A pug dog called Pugsly, ignore his name, my sister named him haha :) And a tabby cat named Missy You?

Jane: Haha that’s adorable. I like it, a pug called Pugsly. 1 maltese shitzu called Molly and 1 budgie called Lucky Jnr (LJ for short) :)

Jessie: Haha its not adorable when you have to call out his name in public :/  Whats your job?

Jane: Haha I would pay to see you call out the name Pugsly! Well you kinda know what I do I guess haha. I am the receptionist at Western Real Estate. My mum part owns the company and I have been working here since I finished school. What do you do?

Jessie: Cool :) is it what you wanna do as a life career? Real estate? I am a mechanic. Currently I am working for my dads company (we have that in common), you may have heard of it, Royce Vintage Car Mechanics?

Jane: No defiantly not what I wanna do for a career. Wow that sounds awesome, you and my dad would have a lot to talk about, he loves old cars, cars in general really. Yeh I have heard of it :) Are you planning on taking over the business when your dad retires?

Jessie: Oh ok what you wanna do then? Yeh it is awesome haha. Cool what kind of cars is he in to? He a holden man or a ford man? Yeh that’s the plan. The business has been in my family for the last 2 generations, so its kind of the way to go :)

Jane: I don’t really know what I wanna do yet. Something that makes me happy I guess :) All of them I guess. He has an old car in the shed, im not a 100% on the model. He is defs a holden man, ford is a dirty word in our house haha Wow that’s amazing that it has stayed in the family for so long. Do you want to take it over but?

Jessie: That’s good though, to have some freedom, you don’t want to rush into anything you know. Haha dirty word! It’s the same in our house. Dad absolutely hates it when someone brings in a ford. He is always shipping the work off to one of the other guys. Yeh I do want to take it over. I couldn’t see myself doing anything else :)

 Jane: Yeh I guess it is. But it would be nice to be doing what I love now :) Oh my gosh, I thought my dad was bad. That’s good that you enjoy what you do.

 Jessie: Yeh I do enjoy it but I like talking to you more :)

Shit. This guy was making me stomach feel like a butterfly sanctuary.

Jane: I like talking to you too :)

Jessie:  :) Sorry my dads calling me back in I got to go back to work I will talk to you later yeh?

Jane:  :) All good, yeh I will talk to you later

I put my phone back in my pocket. The smile that hadn’t left my face since Jessie asked me out, growing bigger as I began to replay Jessie words to me ‘I like talking to you’. I sighed loudly, this guy was going to cause my stomach to explode with nervousness and happiness all in one.

“Hey what you smiling about?” Daven’s voice broke me out of my daze.

“Hey oh nothing just talking to Jessie.” I could feel my cheeks starting to heat up.

“Oh” Daven’s voice suddenly turning defensive. “Did you find out more about him?”

“Yeh I have.” I replied rolling my eyes at Daven’s protectiveness over me.

“and did you find out his last name? I wanna see if I know him”

“Yeh its Royce, please don’t stalk him Daven”

“Haha I won’t Janey. I just wanna know who this guy is. Just looking out for you.” Daven said as he started to tap away at his phone, I’m assuming he was on Facebook trying to see if he could find Jessie.

“Thanks Daven but im a big girl, I can look after myself. I’m a lot stronger then I look.” I replied rolling my eyes again at his protective over me. Daven was only a few years older then me. He was always acting like the big brother I never had. It was nice but sometimes he took it way too seriously. 

“I know just checking him out. I can’t have anyone hurting my Janey.”

“Aww you worried about me Daven.” I jokingly said as I punched his arm. 

“Hey” he whined as he rubbed his arm. “Ok here we go, Jessie Royce, born 12th September 1994, works at Royce Vintage Car Mechanic, 195 friends, 1 mutual friend, Jane Brig. “ Daven rattled off as I stared at him in disbelief.

“Enough Daven, I don’t need to learn things about Jessie from his Facebook ok. As you can see I am friends with him on Facebook and I have seen what I need to see.”

“Ok Janey I trust you, just make sure this guy knows if he hurts you, he will have to answer to me” Daven’s face now turning serious.

“Thanks Daven” I smiled at him as I turned my chair around to face my computer again.
