"Vas' Happenin?" Maria shouted as she walked through the open garage like doors of her job. Zayn choked, Maria took him off gaurd with her words, words he use to say so very often.

Lennie- as Zayn remembered vaguely, appeared from the small office space in the box, sandwhich hanging from his mouth. His blonde hair slicked to his large broad forehead in sweat, his big hands held a giant box computer monitor, a dinosaur in black thick plastic. "Vas Happenin!" He said with the smile, his sandwich fell to the floor, or most of it, the top bread was still in his mouth. A frown deepened on his face, resembling a small childs.

Maria chuckled, picking the sandwich up and blowing it off before handing it to him to trade for the moniter. "I'll get that!" Zayn quickly shot out for it, huffing as Lennie shifted it wieght onto him.

"Aw, thanks Chris!" Lennie cried, fixing his sandwich, taking a big bite out of it. Maria giggled, mocking Lennie.

"And where my ostrich?" Maria called, looking around, her eyes landing on two legs that wiggled under a car. With a growl, Ulrich pulled himself from under the car and stood. He asn't as big as Lennie, he was shorter but defiantly not too short. His heavily tanned skin was stained with oil and but even under it- he was beating red.

"U-l-rich." He corrected her which made Maria laugh. Ulrich rolled his eyes, turning to Zayn. "Isn't this the guy who couldn't fix his busted tire?" He said it in such a way that Zayn felt embarrassed, like his masculinity was being questioned.

"No, I was just waiting for a beautiful girl in shinning intelligence to help me." Zayn corrected Ulrich, Maria smiled, kissed Zayn's warm wiry cheek. Ulrich raised his brow, impressed but still skeptical.

"That date still stands Maria." Ulrich teased as he got back under the car.

"I'll be sure to call Nurse before I decide." Maria teased back which made Ulrich begin to cough heavily with curses under the car. Giggling, Maria directed Zayn to the office, it was a small cubical like room, one desk with a computer missing its moniter, a fridge and a no-door closet.

"Here, set it on the table, we've been having problems with it for a while." Maria pointed to the table, which Zayn happily set it down.

"What kind of problems?" Zayn asked and Maria sighed, a blush setting on her cheeks.

"I know it's the 21st century and all but we've been trying to hook this grandpa to the internet an-" Zayn laughed which caused Maria to pout in embarrassment. "And we just don't know how and ULRICH BROKE THE OTHER MONITER-"

"OH SHUT UP!"

Giggling, Maria sighed, looking at Zayn with quiet eyes. "What?" He asked, self conscious.

Shaking her head, she smiled which made Zayn swallow, his stomach turned a bit and for a moment he thought he was sick but as it settled, it kinda felt... natural. "You're just so...perfect. It's kinda alarming. Maybe you're an alien." She joked, standing with a smile, her hands wrapped around his neck as they just stared at eachother.

Zayn held a small smile, staring at her with hazel eyes. "Can I tell you something?" He breathed and Maria nodded, her pony tail bounced with her. "I want to kiss you." He smiled fully this time and Maria laughed.

"Well I wouldn't stop you." She bit her lip, they stared at eachother for another moment before leaning in, eyes closing to capture eachothers lips.

"But I am, your boy toy is getting in the way of your work, Maria I'm so disappointed." Ulrich walked through the office, grabbing a water bottle before leaving. "Larry is comin' over to fix the computer- how about you get your ass back on Mr. Thomson's car before he comes back guns blazin." He called walking out of the office and back to his project.
